Just spent another week in amazing, crazy Bangalore. I naturally compare it to San Francisco, where the political, economic and infrastructural struggles have deep parallels. You see, one spends a lot of time in traffic in Bangalore, so one has time to think:

The fact that @Zoom does this to you when you click JOIN MEETING is just unspeakably bad software design. Time to move @Rippling to Google Meet!

I tweeted this 35 months ago, and the only thing that has changed in Google Slides is that the buttons are now rounded. I assume there is, in total, one part-time intern working on @Google Slides.

Entrepreneurs: you do not need to return funds to your seed investors if things don't go as planned. Negotiate something for yourself, and forget us. Seed investors are honestly fine with $0. It's in the budget.

Lots of early companies looking for a landing pad rn. To the founders, plz remember: - Your seed investors expect $0 from their investment - Acquirers will probably not keep your product alive, even if they say they will - You will be highly valued for having tried and failed

6/ Transplanted populations fail to form a sense of ownership over their cities. In Bangalore, as in San Francisco, most tech workers are transplants. We need to foster pride of place in our cities because without it, there will be no political engagement.

4/ Tech has created untold wealth in Bangalore. That's good, but the income disparity is extreme. Engineers, paid near-US salaries, work alongside cleaning staff, paid at the poverty line. (Twitter is a poor place to enumerate the effects of this.)

Today, @foundersfund led a $145M round in @Rippling at a $1.35B valuation. I’ve been the company’s COO for 5 quarters, and have learned a ton. I thought I’d share three lessons, since @parkerconrad canceled our 1:1 to deal with media. 😆 1/7
