Thanks for being funny

Same time last year, an early version of Grapevine was ready. We still didn’t know if it will ever work, if anyone will use it and even if they do, will they return to use it a second time? If there’s anything we did well this year, it was in creating a space where smart, talented, high-potential people like to spend time and communicate with each other on topics ranging from work, salaries, personal finances, life, philosophy, technology and so much more Rest everything: Product, Marketing, Engineering, Design, we want to get better on, and we will Thank you for your patience as we slowly build this product and mess up, many many times. In 2024 we promise to work 2X harder to deliver you the most helpful platform for professionals But more important than what the Grapevine team achieved in 2023, is what y’all did: - You created 24K posts - You created ~200K comments - Shared 10s of thousands of salaries to help each other - Shared 1000s of open job opportunities - Referred 100s of people - Helped 100s of Grapeviners find new jobs - Helped 1000s of Grapeviners negotiatiate an offer - Helped 100s of people not move to Bangalore by complaining enough xD - Endless awesome conversations - Infinite good vibes This is truly wholesome and thank you for all your countless high-quality contributions - not to forget the epic memes and laughs along the way! Onwards and Upwards! Happy 2024

The number of rants I have on this platform, had they been anywhere else (social media or real life), I would have definitely lost my job, friends, and followers. Grateful for Grapevine 🍇

Hey folks, help me out a little here please. We were trying to rewrite the copy on our App Store and Play store pages. So instead of writing what I know about Grapevine - would love to pick and choose from what yall think. So how would you explain Grapevine to a friend?

Please do update your app to access the fastest Grapevine yet :) Also look at these absolute champs 👇

I’ll go first. To me, it’s all about access. Access to authentic ideas. The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling Like ( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.) And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”. Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement. For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine. Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us. Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience) Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally
