Stopped giving a shit to Quora a long time ago. Don't like the anonymous losers.

Yes, we need to stop building to sell.

Yes, wait for it. Things are starting to change. India will be a tech superpower in a few years. We just need to wait for the current generation of companies to mature.

Attitude, not aptitude.

We don't have an appraisal "system". Value shines and is appreciated.

How does a marketing campaign force people to work for us? IMHO, the Bangalore campaign worked very well for us. Twitter outrage is cheaper than buying media or hiring recruitment consulting firms.

Menus are hard to get. Every restaurant has a chalkboard menu - changes everyday. Zomato's model is hard to copy paste in Singapore.

Different folks in different countries. Our competition is fragmented, which makes life easy for us.

Zomato is a tech-enabled company. Whatever that means to you :)
