Great guy with whom I can relate. Had used Visual Website Optimiser long before it was popular. I think it was before 2011

Had gained a lot of insights for the customer which made us build better websites and services for them.

But more than anything i was impressed with being able to track user actions, do A/B testings etc. Back then I didn't know that he was Indian. Felt really proud of that fact that he is from India, when I got to know this.

The major unlock happened when I followed him in Twitter. This is the reason i ask people to follow their mentors on Twitter. He is one of the very few people for whom I have set notifications on for a duration greater than a year.

The reason i am more upbeat about him is the fact that he is in India, unlike other mentors of Indian origin I respect like Naval, Balaji Srinivasan Chamath Palihapitiya, Sahil etal

Things I agree with him on

1. Moral code
2. Learning and curiosity
3. Mentality about startups

Things I don't agree with him on

1. Bitcoin energy crisis.
   1. Bitcoin fixes energy is my standpoint.
   2. I need to Build my conviction around this. Then present a case to him

How can I help him

1. He doesn't get enough time to spend on Crypto currency. I can help him out here.
2. Help him stand in elections
   1. Not sure if he wants to.

How can he help me

1. Just keep doing what he is doing. How tweets and blogs help me with clarity and frameworks.
2. Be a hands on mentor to me
   1. Check if he is taking mentees.
3. Help me with making India a Product First Nation
   1. I think I have what it takes to build a good product.
   2. But I have filled to scale and monetise Learning Paths.
   3. I have empathy for failed product/startup founders.
   4. So I can make maximum impact here.
