Why Bangalore Has More Engineers, But No IKEA ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ›’ Ever wondered why a country like Sweden (with fewer people than Bangalore's engineers!) gives us global icons like IKEA, Spotify, and Volvo, but India, the land of hustle, hasnโ€™t cracked that one game-changing, globally-loved brand? ๐Ÿค” Vipul Agrawal nailed it in a recent post: Indiaโ€™s Superpower: We work crazy hours. We sprint. Build fast. Move fast. Break things. ๐Ÿš€ Swedenโ€™s Secret Sauce: They do โ€œjust ENOUGHโ€ - not too much, not too little. โ€œLagom,โ€ they call it. Itโ€™s about balance, long-term thinking, and building for the world, NOT just quarterly metrics. ๐ŸŒฑ Whatโ€™s the result? โœ… IKEA: Just enough design at just enough price. โœ… Spotify: Just enough music, effortless chill. โœ… Volvo: Just enough safety, comfort, and heritage. Meanwhile, over here: We chase funding, frameworks, and go all-in on the next big thingโ€ฆuntil it fizzles out. So what can we learn? Itโ€™s not just about hustle or headcount. Maybe the next unicorn needs โ€œjust enoughโ€ patience, focus, and sustainability. Maybe we hustle less for hype and more for timeless value. Founders, what if we try a little โ€œlagomโ€ in our next venture? ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Drop your thoughts below! ๐Ÿ‘‡ --- Vipul's news is attached here...

Why engineers are not building products? We produce millions of engineers, but barely any product builders. Why? Because the system trains them to follow instructions, not solve problems. They graduate fluent in syntax, but not in thinking. When e

Why do we glorify overworking and call it 'hustle'? Isn't life more than just burning out for a paycheck?
