With this move, I am also hiring across these roles in Pune. Salary no bar for the right folks. We're very well capitalised. High agency folks, ex-founders, founding team members would be given preference. 1. B2B saas marketing/sales leader 2. Performance marketing expert/leader 3. Content marketing/Inbound generalists 4. Founders office (since chief of staff has been used a lot recently) Good folks and friends of Twitter and people with large reach, please RT for good karma :)

Personal note: I am leaving Bangalore for Pune. Bangalore has been home for 14+ years. The city has given me all the good things in my life - first job, first foreign trip, a life partner, 2 successful businesses, funding, startup acquisition, great friends, a network worth in gold and much more. I am not a local but there wasn't a day when I felt like an outsider - and if you are thinking thats because I live in a bubble of high rise and car - thats not the case. I have also lived the BMTC, Auto, Cab life in the city for longest time. Bangalore is not a city, it is a beautiful experience that is hard to explain in words. You experience it once you live with the people here and walk in the lanes of Jayanagar. People who call Bangalore "meh", need to live beyond the weather, coffee, beer and startups. And while I am going to make Pune my new home, and I can't wait to start my journey there, I will keep walking in the lanes of Bangalore - the city I have called home since I became an adult, on each trip.

@overac111ever I assume that Claude has been riding on copilots like cursor for coding more than anything else, but how far will that edge last given that other models are getting better there too Only an assumption

@vaibhavbetter Yass. The entire marketing era divide is so interesting. Makes you think could Nike build the brand the same way it did in 80s today! Seems difficult with the volume of media consumption, shortness of span, availability of resources for competition and so on

I don't know who came up with this "patronizing" sales strategy, but many b2b saas companies do this too. They will outright tell - "you don't know sh*t, let us build the company for you".

Every few years entrepreneurs in America come up with something that widens the gap between them and other countries. AI, Space and so on. The next one would be longevity. Suddenly one day we'd have americans living for 100s of years and rest of the world dying at 80

I work on a longevity company. My cofounder and I committed $110M of our own money into the company. So you'd think I'm some longevity maximalist. But I don't actually take any drugs or supplements because I don't think anything available today has large enough effects for someone my age (40). This isn't because longevity drugs are impossible to make. Its because all existing drugs were developed for sick people -- they weren't developed for "healthy" people who just happen to be getting older each year. This is because we, as a society, just haven't tried to make longevity drugs with real effort and skill... until now. I'm very optimistic that over the next 10-20 years real longevity medicines will come to market that treat the underlying process of aging.

Is salesforce still the best CRM for B2B sales cycle or are there better alternatives?

Agency is inversely proportional to ranting too. High agency folks just get things done
