Catchup with Saad

You most likely read my LinkedIn posts or profile & that's what landed you here, right? Top voice badge works maybe?

I come from Haldwani, a small town in Uttarakhand. I'm 23 y/o. Born and bought up in a middle-class family. I did my chemical engineering from ICT Mumbai.

Today, as founder & CEO of Serri, I run one of India's fastest-growing tech businesses. We have grown 40% MoM to $600K ~INR 5Cr ARR in just 1.5 years!

I think the secret to this success lies in questioning the conventional approaches, thinking ground up from first principles & being kind.

I read a lot about biz, finance, economics, biology, filmmaking, marketing, technology, history, sales, etc. It helps more than just reading startup advice (which btw is mostly useless).

Thumb rules are dumb rules. Even if YC says so or Steve Jobs did that. Life is nuanced & that should be factored into your decision-making. If you follow what everyone thinks is good advice, you'll only be able to achieve what everyone achieves - and that is a mediocre life. It's your choice to be content with that but you definitely can do great stuff. All the extraordinary achievements of humankind have even been made possible by people no smarter than you or me.

I hope I'll be able to help you with whatever you're seeking from me.

Anyways, I'm confident - it's gonna be an amazing conversation!
