IPOs, Brain Kernels, Privacy Tech
Polygon, Chip shortage, Electric Vehicles, Autocuration and Happiness
The talk of the week and also the most divided Indian twitter has ever been in the time I’ve been following - Zomato IPO. Views expressed ranged from the IPO being a watershed moment in the free market history of India to being an over valued and hyped sham. Nevertheless, it’s undisputable that with the data available to Zomato it can very well bet big on the habit formation aspect of it’s users to create moat and brand value. Interesting year ahead with a bunch of tech IPOs lined up across all verticals

We’ve been hearing of the inevitable EV revolution, having 5% interchangeable moving parts, environmental costs, mammoth manufacturing plants and mobility infra in general. Here’s a talk about Statiq a YC backed company operating in this space. I really hope this sector is much more than a capital burning extravaganza.

Is the finals going to Game 7? (some comeback from the Greek Freak!) It was bitter bad from some of the England fans to post racist shit on Rash, JS and Saka’s timelines after the Euros penalty aftermath, but this reponse from Rashford definitely melted my heart last week.
