A recycled denim startup that flopped. An e-cigratte business wiped out overnight by a government ban.

Why he paused Factacy.ai for 2 years to keep proxgy alive.

How that accidentally saved the company when the AI wave hit. Why your Spouse is your biggest invesror even without putting in a rupee & why celebrating funding rounds is the first Sign you've lost the plot.
