Zerodha defies all standard norms of building a tech startup. While the world is going gaga over number of engineers, Zerodha builds and scales with..well just a handful of engineers.

33 member team powering the country’s largest stock brokerage platform! In this deep community cast, Zerodha's CTO, Kailash shares it all in conversation with Ashish Sinha.

How has Zerodha evolved over time, from the v0 of the tech product to today?
How do you think cos. Should really approach Engg? Right now, the mentality is to throw money at the problem, but what’s the elegant way?
Being bootstrapped, how did you hire quality talent and later manage to retain it. Also in the current market how are they dealing with it?
Zerodha that it allows its tech team full autonomy?
how to build the right team that embodies this sentiment?
Design principles
Release Cycles and Technical Decision Making at Zerodha
How to use customer feedback for product improvement?
How to approach product development from the user's perspective?
Consumable APIs: Building an ecosystem.

This conversation was part of ProductGeeks Conf, India’s largest conference for teams that ship (in partnership with Sequoia Capital and Reverie) and was recorded on FWD app, the learning superapp that enables you to upskill on a daily basis.

How Akshayakalpa built a 400 cr revenue business (accidentally) - with CEO, Shashi Kumar | S1E4 30:00

for 7 weeks siden30:00

30:00

Akshayakalpa is a weird business (weird in a good way) - it is one of the largest soil management companies in India - but ended up selling milk to create a sustainable business for its stakeholders (primarily farmers). And in the process, created a 400 cr+ (~$50mn) revenue business - accidentally! My next guest in #UnPluggdWithSinha podcast is Shashi Kumar, Cofounder and CEO of Akshayakalpa - India’s first certified organic dairy enterprise bringing together a balance of practices based in science and the traditional heritage of dairy farming. Topics we discussed: How Akshayakalpa’s business model is a gamechanger (It is among the top soil management company in India, ended up selling milk as it offers a compelling value prop to farmers - faster revenue cycle being the most important one). Shashi’s startup journey - he worked with Wipro, was in US. So why come back to India and go back to farming - something his parents wanted him to never take up (can you believe that his father did not speak to him for 8 years after he decided to take up farming as a career).- Why India being one of the largest producers of milk doesn’t stand a chance in global diaspora?- Why most agritech startups trying to disrupt middle-men fail.- What’s the future of food? Answer: We are in a serious trouble As a consumer - what is it that you need to understand about food ecosystem? Is your food producer making enough money? The UnPluggd with sinha conversations bring you the very best of India’s startup ecosystem (minus the hype) in an informal setup.Wanna suggest guests for the show?

Engineering Jobs in the Age of AI: What You MUST Know #AISnakeOil 38:24

for 16 weeks siden38:24

38:24

In this conversation, Ashish Sinha interviews Arvind Narayanan, professor of computer science at Princeton University and co-author of the book AI Snake Oil ( https://amzn.to/402Ayiw) , discussing the impact of AI on various sectors, the differences between generative and predictive AI, the challenges of AI agents, and the future of AI technology. We explore the importance of human-AI collaboration, the role of reasoning in AI, and the need for better evaluation criteria to build trust in AI systems. Narayanan emphasizes the necessity for technical breadth over mastery in the evolving job market and shares practical applications of AI in education and research. Unique Quotes from the Conversation On Predicting Creative Success "The success of cultural products relies on chance elements that cannot be predicted in advance." This highlights the inherent unpredictability of creative ventures, whether driven by AI or humans. -- On Generative AI in Programming "It’s not that AI writes better code, but it takes so much of the drudgery and boring parts out of it." A reminder that AI is a tool to enhance, not replace, human creativity in programming. -- On Predictive AI’s Ethical Concerns "These tools are only slightly better than random at making really consequential decisions about people." A critique of the overreliance on AI in life-altering decisions like hiring or criminal justice. -- On the Capability-Reliability Gap "The capability-reliability gap means these systems are not reliable right now." An acknowledgment of AI’s limitations, emphasizing the need for better testing and accountability. -- On Preparing for the Future of Work "Technical mastery is less valuable than having technical skills combined with a breadth of skills." Advice for future professionals to combine technical expertise with adaptability and interdisciplinary thinking. -- Takeaways The unpredictability of success in creative products is a key theme. Generative AI is widely recognized, but predictive AI poses ethical challenges. AI agents must be more than just wrappers around models. Benchmarking AI in complex environments is a significant challenge. The capability reliability gap highlights the unreliability of current AI systems. Human-AI collaboration is crucial for effective AI deployment. Inference scaling is a promising area for improving AI performance. Trust in AI is at risk due to rapid deployment without proper evaluation. Future engineers should focus on technical breadth and adaptability.…

Bootstrap or raise funding? A framework for your startup 7:40

for 40 weeks siden7:40

7:40

Founders are often confused whether to bootstrap or raise funding? First of all, there is no right or wrong answers here. "What'ever floats your boat" is a generic advice, but there has to be a better framework for founders to make a well-informed decision. At scale (say $100mn+ revenue or Series D onwards_, startups are all about 2 things Control i.e. ability to control your decisions, your destiny, your path. Given the gen AI world we live in where companies are getting disrupted with each and every new model launch, you need to have a lot of control on your decision making. This also helps you move fast, take quick decisions and not be at the mercy of your competition’s agility. Growth Of course, nobody wakes up saying ‘I want to build a slow growth business’. We all want high growth business - but here is the reality: growth comes at a cost. And we all have seen what happened to those high-growth businesses of 21,22 (ZIRP era). They don’t even have money to pay salaries to their employees. Founders are left with neither growth nor control of their business. So what’s the right framework to look at this dilemma? Enters 2 by 2 :) Do review/share your feedback.…
