Some big numbers, right? Ok back to PayTM now –

What does it do?

Well, it does a lot of things but at the core of it let's term it a fintech company.

- It started as a digital wallet-based platform focused on mobile SIM top-ups and utility payments in 2010

3/

- They pivoted to marketing, mobile phone top-ups, payments, e-comm, then a full-scale fintech services company – The avatar that we see today

- The Paytm ecosystem has payments (wallet / UPI), merchant acquiring, credit, savings, broking, wealth management, and insurance.

4/

Total users - 333 mn
Monthly active users - 50 mn
Merchants - 21.1 mn

RedSeer - Paytm has a payments transaction volume market share of ~40% and wallet payments transaction mkt share of 65-70% in India for FY21

All the books (all 34 of them) I read this year and a one-line review on them!

My last thread for 2020 🧵

#Books #Reading

Let's get started 👇

1/n

Alibaba - The house that Jack Ma Built

Rejected 10 times in Harvard, rejected in 30 jobs, first 2 businesses didn’t work out.

This book is extremely motivating as it tells how a man from humble beginnings built Alibaba into one of the largest internet companies

2/n

The Peaceful investor & Company Analysis Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4 (covers 40 stocks in total) by @drvijaymalik

After reading these, you learn the fundamental analysis process completely!

@drvijaymalik is rightly called the Doctor of stocks, he is the best in fundamentals!

3/n

Ode To Geniuses

The book discusses philosophers and poets from the Renaissance era - Epictetus, Euclid, Horace, Nikola Tesla, and a few more

It's fascinating to note how they started out and the way they ended up in their respective fields to make a big mark!

4/n

Beyond the End

This is about unfinished masterpieces of art -This is also very interesting as the stories of incompletion and the artists behind them grip you completely!

Note - This book + the one before are private publications, they were gifted to me by @Sharad9Dubey

Mr. Vijay Kedia built a net worth of over Rs. 800 crores.

But you probably never read past that headline.

So I binged hours of interviews to learn his investing principles and strategies.

Here are 20 lessons on investing from @VijayKedia1 Sir:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

Before I start, a quick disclaimer, please don't ape his portfolio.

As the entry price, horizon and risk appetite would be far different than yours.

Rather lets draw inspiration and try to learn his stock picking skills.

Now let's DIVE IN👇

1/ Started off as a trader:

- Soon, beginner’s luck started to fade out and loses started to mount, to an extent where his mother was about to sell her ornaments.

- Although he was able to dodge the situation.

- This incident taught him the biggest lesson to have a stop-loss.

2/ Punjab Tractors:

- In 1990, he made his first investment by putting in his 10-years savings of Rs 35,000 in this stock, based on a news trigger that tractor industry will witness a turnaround.

- It worked and fetched him 4-5 times which he calls it as a fluke.

3/ He believes that an investor must possess three qualities:

i. Knowledge,
ii. Courage, and
iii. Patience.

Why & how does rising Crude Oil hurt India?

A short thread 🧵

India is the 3rd largest consumer of Oil at 5.35 million barrels per day (MBPD) behind US (21.2mbpd) and China (15.1mbpd)

India imports nearly 85% of its total Crude oil consumption every year.

India's own production has been below 700,000 barrels per day for a long time.

India imports oil in the following share as per FY 21 numbers:

Iran 17%,
Saudi Arabia 16%,
UAE 14%,
USA 9%,
Qatar 8%,
Others 38%

India import share for Oil from Russia is under 2%, an insignificant number.

India imports about 290 Million tones of Oil in a year.

Assuming that Oil prices are at $75 (last year),
India's oil import bill is ~ $165bn

India exports refined petroleum products as well. At $75 oil price those exports would amount to $58bn

=Oil trade deficit of $105bn

Oil at:
$100, India's oil trade deficit (imports - exports) would be ~ $140bn

For every $10 rise in Crude Oil from say $100, India's oil trade deficit will rise by ~$15bn

For instance at $120 Oil price it would be ~ $170bn

26% CAGR makes your money 10x in 10

\u26a1\ufe0fIf you are making 26% CAGR then Rs 10,000 invested at 23 has the same value as:

Investing Rs 1 Lakh at 33
Investing Rs 10 Lakh at 43

At 26% CAGR, your money grows 10 times in 10 years.

Young earners should realize this power and start early.

No amount is too small to start.

1/ 👋 Excited to share what we’ve been building at https://t.co/GOQJ7LjQ2t + we are going to tweetstorm our progress every week!

Week 1 highlights: getting shortlisted for YC W2019🤞, acquiring a premium domain💰, meeting Substack's @hamishmckenzie and Stripe CEO @patrickc 🤩

2/ So what is Brew?

brew / bru : / to make (beer, coffee etc.) / verb: begin to develop 🌱

A place for you to enjoy premium content while supporting your favorite creators. Sort of like a ‘Consumer-facing Patreon’ cc @jackconte

(we’re still working on the pitch)

3/ So, why be so transparent? Two words: launch strategy.

jk 😅 a) I loooove doing something consistently for a long period of time b) limited downside and infinite upside (feedback, accountability, reach).
cc @altimor, @pmarca

4/ https://t.co/GOQJ7LjQ2t domain 🍻

It started with a cold email. Guess what? He was using BuyMeACoffee on his blog, and was excited to hear about what we're building next. Within 2w, we signed the deal at @Escrowcom's SF office. You’re a pleasure to work with @MichaelCyger!

5/ @ycombinator's invite for the in-person interview arrived that evening. Quite a day!

Thanks @patio11 for the thoughtful feedback on our YC application, and @gabhubert for your directions on positioning the product — set the tone for our pitch!

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
