It feels like some of the momentum of the "let's explore alternatives to SF" movement has weakened since 2021, with AI and "back to the office" mandates contributing to re-centralization. What are your updated thoughts on how we can cleave apart that network effect to create more practical freedom of location?

Props to you for showing up on Modi's radar, that's crazy 🤯 As someone living in the US, what are some action items for me to get more involved in the Indian tech scene? What's missing there that folks in the US/UK take for granted? How can people create content that bridges the western & Indian tech ecosystems?

How do you come up with all your catch phrases? Do they occur to you spontaneously? Do you ever decide a concept deserves a catch phrase?
