Is it kala-jaadu… or just ruthless clarity? How are some founders building profitable companies in silence — without flashy LinkedIn posts, media praise, or billion-dollar burns — while some VC-funded giants are still chasing PMF after raising hundreds of crores? Take: -> Zoho — profitable for decades, built globally from a village in Tamil Nadu. -> BOULT — bootstrapped, profitable, and eating into market share of VC-backed consumer tech brands. -> Not forgetting a few amazing companies I know that raised modest capital, focused on profitable growth, not valuation games. On the flip side…Some well-funded startups are stuck in a cycle: pitch decks > capital raises > user acquisition > losses > layoffs > repeat. It’s not magic. It’s clarity over chaos: - Focused product-market fit - Sharp GTM execution - Relentless iteration - Respect for capital Maybe the real disruption isn’t in tech or TAM — but in discipline and the very first principle: “The Customer is the King”. Thoughts?
