Dwight Schrute wali shakal aur akal, kya hi expect karenge. Also ISB se Maine itne namoone dekhe hai us brand name ka mahatwa solid Kam hogaya hai meri aankhon mein.
Because that's the goal. Their goal is brand name but not learning. Most of these guys don't understand "dhanda".
Example:
I had to fire my ISB graduate (McKinsey alum) co-founder with blessings from our investor mainly because in one year he couldn't sell our product to one customer. We built the software I built at my previous company for his previous company as they didn't have it but he couldn't sell it to them. All our customers are my friend(s) companies or the ones my friends have referred to us. In fact he focussed on selling to unicorns more than startups because they can pay without realising that first we need to build a product along with startups that a unicorn would be enticed to pay for. His approach is not product based but consultant based. We lost smaller customers who could have helped us define our product because we were chasing Fi, Jupiter, and Canara banks of the world.
He is from IIT guwahati computer science but doesn't know what a finite state machine is (seriously do they teach comp. sci. there without theory of computation?). To a big ass pharma company, during the pitch he would say things like we will give you a drag and drop interface to set weights and biases of a neural network in a way you want. I mean, seriously? What kinda black mathic wizardry is that?
Even when we broke up the company and decided to go separate ways, his last statement - "I am an IITian, who are you?" I mean 🤷♂️
And hence they seek comfort in alcohol because most of them don't even enjoy what they're doing. They'd rather do something else but our society will judge them if they don't get into top schools.
I met an IIT-Bhu/IIM grad with 10 years of exp for the CTO role recently. The bro wanted to build three startups simultaneously in the next five years. He wanted 20% equity, veto power in the decision making and 10 crore in the bank to come full time. On top of it, he didn’t want to move out from his current organisation till 2025. He was like I have brand names with me.
They think building a startup is a joke. I have a lot of respect for people who go to the best tech institutes, but people who think they are god like, really need some senses.
Don't know why but a few months back this guy kept popping on my LinkedIn. Unfollowed him.... And the guy who liked the post.
