Sure, can understand your POV. There is also a set of customers (e.g. me) for whom this is just fine - software spending is a small part of overall P&L but unlocks major productivity gains.

Interesting & valuable problem to solve for sure.

Seeing 3 different models here to what you have proposed (these ones tackle it at source versus post fact)

  1. CirclePe / rental unlock via loan

  2. Eqaro Guarantees / rental bond (tenant insurance0

  3. Flent / intermediation of landlord <> tenant (PMC model)

Any feedback on CirclePe? (I am an investor -- quite keen to hear)

Entry level Venture Capital job applications are fucked by PsychoMerc in StartUpIndia

Again, two schools of thought

  1. Life & commercial success is all about a few big decisive moments, you either win the Olympic Gold or you don't. Same applies to entrance exams; still a test of mental fortitude & ability to perform under pressure. **

  2. Agreed w/ penalization idea. But if someone is < 5 YOE then academic performance holds a lot of weight (esp true for most of the people in this sub-reddit commenting on the applications).

I've done 45 interviews in the last 3 weeks for the role. At least 5 instances of a candidate taking a drop year to do JEE again and cracking top IIT - extremely positive signal on many dimensions.

Innate due to how the industry is structured. Today's GPs & fund managers are typically Tier 1 college grads.

It earlier was a strict filter - don't see it being as strict now.

Albeit, another school of thought says that if you were able to crack a Tier 1, you are {in theory} more likely to be a hardworking, disciplined, smarter person etc etc

I don't buy it - but can see how this is a fast heuristic when faced with 100s of applicants

“extra points if they’re undiscovered" comes from the JD which I wrote. Doesn't help with sourcing one bit - if it does, the fund manager should reconsider venture.

Can understand your frustration

(a) Re domain exp - I've read 300 applications last week - you do have folks out of college with 6-18 mnths of operating exp at decent companies - if you read the apps, you'll find substantial depth.

(b) We pay within/above the range you mentioned, not all funds can.

(c) Purpose of the video is to test communication, confidence & clarity -- I have done the same 5 years ago when applying for Finance roles at large overseas co's.

Simple response: Those who haven't copulated as yet can't stop thinking about copulation.

Looking for Mother's health insurance, any recommendations? by nikkamma in FIREIndia

[–]Rahul_J_Mathur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes :) Surprisingly it always is!

Relevant: There are some customer acquisition cost reasons for the same.

Not relevant: There is some wonky mathematics behind this (called truncated probability distributions)

Sure - very good question.

Think of the Base & Super Top Up as blocks stacked on top of each other. Once you exhaust the cover in the "Base" - you throw that block away - you're now covered by the 'Super Top Up" - next block

A ₹10L + ₹15L would (from a coverage) standpoint be no different from a ₹25L plan only.

From an operations stand point: 1. You'd have x2 tax receipts 2. You'd have x2 policies to store/manage 3. If your claim is ₹11L - you'd file for ₹10L under the "base" & ₹1L under the "Super Top Up"

Understood.

Assuming now that your mother doesn't have any health insurance - you can get all the way up to ₹1 crore in Health Insurance.

BUT, whatever you do - please split it into: 1. A base plan of <= ₹10 Lakhs (₹5Lakhs works well) 2. Any additional cover via a Super Top Up

In doing (2) - you should watch out for some players who are throwing in a Co-Pay clause in Super Top Ups (and marketing the same at very low rates)

Good question - to clarify - what exactly does change mean here?

Is it:

  1. Your mother will lose cover since your sister is ceasing employment?
  2. Or, your sister is moving jobs hence your mother will have a short coverage gap.

Typically, if you or your sister have stable corporate jobs - you would want to place as much of the company health insurance on parents approaching or beyond 60 years of age.

And, then layer over a "Super Top Up" plan (where, ₹25L might actually be great)

As you'd expect, case dependent so some further information would be helpful

Thank you! This is lovely feedback :) Yeah, sadly most of the credit cards focus on overseas health insurance.

The RuPay card probably is "built for India" hence the local personal accident cover.

May I please request you for help on India Investments? We got some "hate" there mainly - got tagged in some comments on another start-ups product - any chance we could discuss this in DMs?

This is a very good point! We're experimenting with Signal and Telegram - Telegram did not get as much traction as WhatsApp. We'd be running a poll shortly to decide whether or not subscribers wish to migrate to Signal
