I have shut down my 100 crores course business. And converted it into a subscription! Between making more money and helping more people - the choice was super clear to me! WebVeda now gives access to ALL courses, for the price of one course. As a WebVeda member you will get: - ALL courses, present and future (we add a course every day, every week, every month) - An exclusive members-only community - Personalized jobs based on your skills
 100% refund policy, as always. Skills. Community. Jobs. Growth as a subscription.

All 5 lakh existing WebVeda students have been upgraded to the membership for FREE. I want every person in this country with a phone and an internet connection to have the same learning, networking and job opportunities in life as someone born into privilege. Where they were born, how much they earn, what language they speak - none of such things should ever matter.

Our parents are never going to say “I am feeling vulnerable” or give us a beautifully worded explanation for why something affected them. Yet, we spend a lot of time wishing Ma and Papa expressed themselves differently. Instead, we can try to get a little better at asking, listening, and explaining ourselves. Without expecting them to sound like the people we follow online. Every conversation at home doesn't have to be a test of whether someone has done enough work on themselves.

Ma tends to repeat stories a lot. The younger me would roll his eyes and go "yes, we have all heard that before a million times." Now I try something different. What happened afterwards? Who was there? Why do yoou remember this? I just remind myself that ma papa have had an entire life before we became the centre of it. I want to remain curious about that life.

Have you considered being yourself on LinkedIn

The thing I dislike the most about the online world? How quickly we encourage people to take drastic steps. Quit that job. Send that angry reply. Show the person their spot. Make a public example of them. Each of these could be the right thing to do in a particular situation. What's amusing is how quickly we recommend them to do it when we know almost nothing about the person who has to do it. We see a moment. That person has to go back to the rest of their life. So here is a reminder: If you are the one making the decision, you are allowed to choose an approach that doesn't hit headlines or classifies as breaking news. You are the person who needs it to work. Make it work. Don't try to make it memorable.

My PhD dropout story has a very important detail that needs to be always told. I was on a full scholarship. I also received a stipend. Someone asked whether I would still have quit if my family had paid for that education. My answer was no. The scholarship and stipend made the decision easy. I was not courageous. My context made the decision very easy for me. With this context, the story becomes less inspiring. But it also becomes more useful. Because, after hearing the story, you might want the same change for your life. But your lfie might have a different context. You might need to keep your job while testing the next thing. You might need another year. You might decide that the cost is too high right now. Before borrowing someone's courage, understand your own circumstances. The person whose story moved you will not be there to meet your commitments if your decision goes wrong.

If a friend shares a lovely photograph, you can enjoy it without immediately suggesting a photography business. If someone cooks well, they don't automatically need to launch a supper club or cloud kitchen. As a creator, I understand why people make the suggestion. It sounds like encouragement. But sometimes the nicest thing you can say is that you loved what they made. Let them decide if they want to make it for a living :)

As Ma and Papa grow older, I want to be careful about what I start calling “taking care of them” Because quite often, fixing their problems is quite easy. Do it online. Order it for them. Book through the app. Look up the options. From my side, I have solved their problem. Taken care of them. But from their side, I might have taken a decision about their life without asking. Or done something for them that they found joy in doing themselves. Which is why, Let them do the part they can still do, even if watching them take longer makes me impatient. I don't want my efficiency to become the reason my parents feel less capable.

Biggest change during my lifetime Earlier an interaction would add emotions. Happy, sad, scared, hopeful. Today an interaction adds options. Have you seen this? Have you checked that out? Have you been there? Are you using this? We moved from sharing to comparing, in a single generation.

In April, I shared that team members who complete 5 years @waricrew get a paid month at the Network School, including travel. Two had returned, and I wrote about how much the experience had changed them. There is a reason I choose Network School. Because we as a team are fully remote and fully async. When you spend 100% of your time online, you can spend years knowing something without truly understanding it. You can collect very good advice. You can have thoughtful opinions. You can even start sounding like the people doing the work. Then you sit beside someone who is building something, and they ask for help with a small, unglamorous problem. Suddenly, there is a difference between knwoing and being able to contribute. And that is all the difference in the world! If you are in your 20s, look for more situations like that. A local group working on a project. A weekend spent helping someone organise an event. A friend trying to get their first customer. You don't need to buy access to an impressive room. You just need to be in a room where you handle a boring task, an introduction, a disagreement. Because IRL is going to be the premium very soon! Prepare for it.

If I were starting my career in 2026, I would use AI. A lot. BUT... ...I would also ensure that there things I could now explain without asking it again. I would make sure I can answer why was this approach chosen? What would make it fail? If AI's answer changed tomorrow, would I notice? Because if I can't, then I know I am now dependent on it. And one day, I will be replaced by it.

In 2026, it is easy to believe that “build a personal brand” is the only way out. And with it, to conclude that you need to post every day, have an opinion on everything, and somehow become interesting on LinkedIn/IG/X/YT/... I'd say - everyone one of us is already a personal brand. The difference between you and me is just the number of people who know of us. In your case, people do know you. So start slow. Who are the 10 people who could recommend you for work you actually want? What have they seen you do that would make them comfortable putting their name behind yours? Being known by this set, for something specific is a perfectly worthwhile place to begin. That is your personal brand. You can decide later whether you also want an audience.

At the age of 22 I dropped out of astrophysics PhD at Michigan State. After 2 years of pursuing it. Everyone thought it was a terrible idea. You will be wasting 2 years. All this time and investment. For nothing? But all I could visualize was 30-40 years of doing something I had stopped loving. Time already spent is the cheapest thing you will ever lose.

Blinkit delivers (nearly) everything in 10 mins. But getting a good job, finding a good partner, building a good corpus takes time. This reality is the selection criteria. Millions addicted to instant gratification. Leaving a few who know that instant everything is a trap. Patience is the new IQ!

This video is such a good one. Must see. And highly contextual to the commentary below
