Talk to me about that transition, because again, it's sometimes harder or easier, but I'm curious what you're going to say, to jump or leap when you actually are very comfortable. You're in a comfortable place.

You have the prestige. You have the status. And to some extent, when we're founders, we're a little bit of a beggar versus the behemoth that can get anybody on board. So talk to me a little bit about that transition. I'm curious about it for you, Kirtika.

But if you look back, what would be an advice to your younger self?
