So this guy is from one of the best universities over here in India.

And he built his company and he was a, he was like a mechanical engineer or something, but he was so much into furniture and how comfortable you can make it and all that.

That guy actually did the interiors for my home.

I think he's a hero.

Like he's extremely boring.

He has a process.

You ask him, okay, I want more of this.

Then there is a very good process.

Like even creativity, he has created it into a process, which I thought is like,

I'll not give too much advice because he's already living his journey in a way.

And ultimately for founders, it is a journey.

Like obviously when you go through it, like even something that I tell him what will happen five years later will not make any sense to him.

You have to be ready to get that sort of advice.

So I would just say be enthusiastic about it.

There will be bad days, but know that the better days are coming.

Just I'll tell him to be resilient and just do not lose trust because everybody goes through the same thing and just keep doing what he's doing with whatever clear objectives or goals, why he's doing it.

And not to forget why he started the company to begin with.

Don't run after KPIs and numbers and pleasing somebody else.

Just stick to your core on what you wanted to deliver and keep delivering that.

Thanks, Noah.
