Why Bangalore Has More Engineers, But No IKEA 🇸🇪🛒 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, hasn’t cracked that one game-changing, globally-loved brand? 🤔 Vipul Agrawal nailed it in a recent post: India’s Superpower: We work crazy hours. We sprint. Build fast. Move fast. Break things. 🚀 Sweden’s Secret Sauce: They do “just ENOUGH” - not too much, not too little. “Lagom,” they call it. It’s about balance, long-term thinking, and building for the world, NOT just quarterly metrics. 🌱 What’s the result? ✅ IKEA: Just enough design at just enough price. ✅ Spotify: Just enough music, effortless chill. ✅ Volvo: Just enough safety, comfort, and heritage. Meanwhile, over here: We chase funding, frameworks, and go all-in on the next big thing…until it fizzles out. So what can we learn? It’s not just about hustle or headcount. Maybe the next unicorn needs “just enough” patience, focus, and sustainability. Maybe we hustle less for hype and more for timeless value. Founders, what if we try a little “lagom” in our next venture? 🚀🇮🇳 Drop your thoughts below! 👇 --- Vipul's news is attached here...

It’s not just about talent or speed — it’s about intention, culture, and long-term thinking. 🔧 India’s Superpower: Execution at Scale We hustle. We code at 2 a.m., ship fast, and fix bugs live. The startup culture is intense and scrappy — it thrives on speed and optimization, often under massive pressure and limited time. 🌱 Sweden’s Secret Sauce: Sustainable Innovation They don’t sprint. They pace themselves. Their concept of “Lagom” — not too much, not too little — is a philosophy that encourages balanced growth, thoughtful design, and resilience over rush. ✅ Bangalore has the horsepower, but Sweden builds the engine. Maybe it’s time we ask: Are we building fast, or are we building forever? 🌍 To go global, we don’t just need more engineers. We need a mindset shift — from delivery to legacy. Let the world not just hire Indian coders — let it buy Indian brands.

Just got an ad on Spotify saying enjoy the next 30 mins of uninterrupted music and then I get an ad right after the first song. Can't feel more scammed right now🙃

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?
