Product Manager

He makes more money in his different businesses than podcast. He is from business family but still he made his own business and make them successful.  
 The perfume brand of King, this is the guy behind that.

How the F*ck are they Angel Investors, when I can't even think of clear Mutual fund investing strategies, the LinkedIn is becoming a cool hollow capitalist community

Who are these 23 - 28 yr old Angel investors on Linkedin?

Growth Manager

Not going to lie but Ashneer was right, Mankur Marikoo ka naam saath mei mat lena, tu mujhe gaali se se but naam saath mei mat lena( because he’s the biggest scam artist after Dakshat Shrivastava)

 Just like Vauld, Marikoo turns out to be the biggest sell out of all time yet again. With Fraud Shamani and Chetan Bro-goat following him, they promoted a scam Startup Conference in Noida stating you can raise funding there, that too within 3 days.

Turns out you have to pay 💰 a boatload of cash to get into the conference. Now it turns out to be a scam when the organisers fled away with the money.

It’s a pity that people follow these charlatans who masquerade as superior beings while their true character is revealed in moments like this..

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I personally know a person who has a very large consumer cosmetics company and this person should be worth upwards of 25 crores counting their company, brand and assets

Who’s the richest person you personally know and what do they do?

Analyst

This influencer with a massive following on YouTube laid me & my team off within a week of hiring since apparently they have deferred their Series A. Bro, why didn't you figure it out before I joined. They bumped off Sourcing, D2C sales head, Finance, Offline Sales head, etc as well. Apparently - they still have the HR head drawing the salary of probably more than 50L pa since they need to build 'culture' for a team size of less than 25 ppl now.

Business model: D2C business launching products in partnership with Influencer to leverage their following

Founders couldn't Figure Out fund raise

Bro there's Sham in the name.  What else did you expect.

Sales Manager

Recently, the founder of Apna appeared on Rajshamani's podcast, boasting about his entrepreneurial journey and the success of his startup. However, his portrayal of Apna as a revolutionary product is misleading. 

https://themorningcontext.com/internet/all-is-not-well-at-apna

Here's a brutal takedown of him
https://x.com/ravihanda/status/1730453950485401872

Despite his claims, the company is currently laying off employees, experiencing stagnant revenue growth, and facing significant financial losses. 

The founder, who has spent most of his life in the US, now presents himself as a champion for Bharat (India), but the reality is starkly different from the image he tries to project. 

His attempts to appear as if he has everything figured out contrast sharply with the company's troubling financial situation and operational challenges.

The podcast feels fully paid but is not revealed which is illegal.

Yes risk taker, but the race doesn't have the same starting point for everyone

The reason why entrepreneurship is exclusive to 'some' people

Corporate Strategist

I remember coming across the entire interview 4-5 years ago, sharing a small snippet below

Chamath is relatable because he also comes from nowhere, and has had a phenomenal career. But the way he puts his thought process across. 

The way he explains that it’s a skewed world, but here’s what you can do to do well in it.

I know there’s ways to criticise this approach. My commie friends would. But soaking it in, acting on it, was one of the things that mattered.
I keep coming back to it and hope it adds value to your day/week/life.

If there is one thing you can learn from Ambani’s wedding, it’s the fact that money is the only objective measure of power and influence in this world.

-

The biggest rivals politically, share the stage and greet each other 
The biggest rivals in cricket, dance with each other
The biggest rivals in cinema, greet each other 
The biggest rivals within family, help each other 
The biggest rivals in business, hug each other 

-

You should strive to make as much money as you possible can because money is power. You don't do it for pleasure; you do it because that's how you win. You do it because in this ruthless world, being on top is the only safe place to be. Money is your shield and your weapon, and without it, you're nothing.

-

You make as much money as possible because, let's face it, money's fun. It's the key to all the cool stuff—power, parties, private jets, you name it. Sure, it's also about proving yourself and not being the screw-up everyone thinks you are, but mainly it's about the thrill. Making money means you're in the game, you're relevant, and you can do whatever the hell you want. 

-

Plus, it gives you the leverage to tell people to screw off and actually get away with it. So, yeah, stack that cash and enjoy the ride.

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s your ticket to security and status. In this family and in this world, wealth is what keeps you safe and respected. It’s about climbing the ladder and proving you belong at the top, even if you weren’t born into it. With money, you gain leverage, influence, and the ability to protect yourself in a cutthroat environment. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to enjoy the finer things and have a buffer against the chaos that comes with being alive in this world. 

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s about breaking boundaries and redefining what’s possible. It’s not just about the money—it’s about the disruption, the innovation, and staying ahead of the curve.

Make money! As much as you possibly can!

Ambani's wedding is a display of the heights of income inequality in India.

So I just exited my first venture, raised some money from pedigree foreign players, almost died 3 times and finally exited decently. Discounting 2 years of covid it was a good 4 year journey. I am thinking to create like a 0 to 1 course having everything from idea validation, basics of branding, how to file TDS and GST yourself, getting first clients and scaling to 1. 

What does the junta think of it? And what would be a good price one would be willing to pay?

0 to 1 course for aspiring entrepreneurs

You guys might think I’m joking today. But you will realise someday. 

He will soon return to Bharatpe for his second act as Steve did for his second act at Apple.

Ashneer Grover is the Steve Jobs of India

I am reminded of Vivek Oberoi comparing his acting in Krishh 3 with that of Heath Ledger's in Dark knight
