Episode notes

I saw a very interesting pattern in india was that lots of smart people were building great companies wher wouldn't go nowhere. And i saw some people who were not so smart, who do really well consistently. I think market is like laws of physics. If you meet the bad market, you will die. But if you find a market that has used tal winds to it, even a mediocre founder will do really, really well. Rverses these fancy dams which nobody ever used. That's a very sort of like western idea: Build it and they will come.

My guest is Indian entrepreneur and venture capitalist Kunal Shah who calls on his decades of entrepreneurial experience to discuss what he’s learned about what motivates people, and how observing trends hiding in plain sight has made him a runaway success in business.

We also discuss the many cultural differences between India and the West, what he learned growing up in the family business and how he applies it today, observing reality, why he dropped out of an MBA program, strategies for decision-making, and so much more.
