>Egotistical people are never intimidated.

Egotistic behavior is actually a response (most of the time unconscious) to being intimidated. Truly capable people are rarely egotistic. I am talking about people at the top of their game, like Field medalists, Nobel laureates..etc. I doubt his colleague is egotistic to a beggar, for example.

Exactly.

Start your own company.

Nowadays a lot of companies are 100% remote with no physical address.

What kind of return are you talking about for $15-30k investment?

Buy an eyepatch that can completely seal off any light. Not the cheap one from walmart but ones with thick padding at the edge. You can get them from Amazon. Those can completely seal off light even in a well-lit room. Studies have shown that even low ambient light can affect sleep.

Years ago I talked to a guy who worked there and at that time they were using VB6. I am sure it has changed now. Anyway I read that Epic sue TCS because some of the contractors from TCS stole its code.

If you can do it yourself, do it yourself. Don't choose a cofounder unless you have to.

In theory it is, in practice it is not. The intention is to let in talents that the US native population otherwise cannot provide. The reality is that the US tech visa have been heavily abused and let in people that shouldn't be let in.

Agree. Asian is kind of like Hispanic, it doesn't mean anything in terms of ethnicities.

Because I don't want my judgement to be tainted by fancy graphics and design.

If I am an investor, I would mandate all words and chart be written on an 8.5" x 11" white paper. Pitch should be about idea and not fancy graphics and design.

I have been hearing this for many years that India has abundance of human capital but reality paints a different picture. Fact is many Western companies that have set up manufacturing shop in India eventually moved out because it was losing money. Ford is a good example.

Apple should shift its production line to Vietnam instead. Vietnam is close to the supply chain, has better logistic infrastructure and its workforce is much more productive than India.

India's HDI (Human Development Index) is worse than half of sub-Sahara African countries. Who bear the brunt of this dire statistics? The higher caste or the dalits and the adivasis? India should spend money on this vulnerable people but the Modi government is talking of spending money to dress up the capital or other vanity projects. When confront Indian will readily cite they have a dalit president or this or that to address Western sensibilities but the ground reality is that Indian's caste culture hasn't changed. And that is the problem.

Violence against the dalits is much worst than when the British was running the show. At least during the Raj times, a dalit can reasonably count on the British to deliver justice when the higher caste rape or kill their family members. Nowadays if a dalit dare to speak up or go to a police more violence will descend upon them. Passing a law here or there for show or having a tribal as president is nothing when the culture is caste ridden. You can't legislate morality is what I am saying.

India caste-based discrimination is as strong as before. All this jobs reservations are created by politicians who want to get the votes of the lower caste but this is just a show. The real test of the pudding is that the dalits fare better when the British was running the show.
