Decision: I prioritize relentless work over work‑life balance for fast‑growing companies because speed and commitment are critical in today’s competitive markets.
I am very optimistic that Labellerr shall be on the list of these 100 unicorns by 2030!
I committed to become the most customer‑centric AI data‑engine SaaS globally, doing whatever it takes to reach that standing.
I shared a LinkedIn post on 2024‑05‑26 encouraging young innovators to pursue innovative work without waiting for graduation, highlighting four super‑smart, hard‑working individuals—Mufeed VH, Adarsh Shirawalmath, Adithya S Kolavi—and thanking Mohit Pandey for covering the story. The post linked to an external article for more details. #softwareengineer #ai #llm #learning #hiring #campushiring #internships
True founders build with a passion to solve real problems and see money as a tool to scale their impact. On the other hand, those who prioritize money first often find it hard to sustain in the long run. Passion doesn’t guarantee immediate success, but it ensures resilience—the ability to learn from mistakes, grow, and improve. The irony is, many who build primarily for money still believe they are driven by passion. But this difference eventually shows in their approach and the outcomes they deliver.
Money should not be earned at the cost of 5 non‑renewable assets: time, health, trust, reputation, and family.
I agree that solving a business problem needs a lot of grit and passion, staying in the marathon while moving toward real improvements, and seeing money and fame only as by‑products, not the objective.
Money and fame become a byproduct and not the objective.
All of us Indians need to turn our own silver to gold irrespective of the noise around us.

Ever wonder what happens when you’re the only person in the office for the summer? In the summer of 1958, I imagined Jack Kilby staying alone at Texas Instruments and inventing the first semiconductor chip. His prototype proved the concept but wasn’t ready for mass production. Robert Noyce later took the baton, shifting to silicon and engineering a repeatable, high‑yield process that made chips manufacturable. Kilby received the Nobel Prize in 2000; Noyce missed out because the award isn’t given posthumously.
The invention took place in the summer of 1958.
The work was done at Texas Instruments.
Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2000.
Noyce missed out on the Nobel because the award isn’t given posthumously.
I outlined six specific signs that warn of founder burnout, noting they appear as small, incremental choices rather than dramatic exits.
