On 6 October 2026 I posted a series of X threads that mixed humor, anecdotes about Indian startup culture, a policy suggestion, and a new RBI regulation for exporters. The tone was informal with emojis and personal touches, but the posts also contained specific factual details that I want to retain.
- “Every new compliance rule is a tax on everyone's time.”
- Proposed law: Before adding a rule, the government must show the fraud it prevents is at least 2× what it costs honest people to comply in terms of time and money.
- RBI Export Declaration Form (EDF) requirement for service and software exporters (freelancers, IT firms, consultants, tutors) is effective 1 October 2026.
- Example pre‑seed VC term sheet: ₹3 Cr offered to a 20‑year‑old founder, with the founder’s mother on the call.
These posts link back to my earlier October threads (x posts october 2026) and to the September series (x posts september 2026).
