If this isn't the first time you're listening to First Principles, you're probably wondering what's going on. Why did we have five different founders opening the episode, instead of just one. It's because today's is a special episode. We went back to the first five episodes we didto compile some of the most interesting, original and often counterintuitive conversations from five accomplished founders. While I'd urge you to listen to each of their conversations in full, this episode is a good place if you took to First Principles recently and are searching for reasons to listen to older episodes. We begin with Kabeer Biswas, the co-founder and CEO of Dunzo, the cult-like instant delivery service that started from Bangalore. He talks about the 10,000 plus tasks he's run himself on Dunzo, the impossible grind of fundraising, how founders' traits tend to show up as organization's culture and many more things. Episode 1: Kabeer Biswas of Dunzo talks about raising money, gathering user insights, battling deadlines and moreNext, we have Baskar Subramanian, the co-founder and CEO of Amagi, the most unlikely of unicorns to emerge from India. It is a media technology company that enables virtually the entire video production and distribution chain for all sorts of media companies globally. “Glass to glass solutions” is how Amagi describes itself, implying its presence from the glass of the camera where video is being shot to the glass of the screen on which it is finally watched. Baskar dropped out of his master's program at IIT Bombay because he found it oriented around getting grades, not necessarily learning. He talks about why entrepreneurship is like a drug for him, why vulnerability is a core value at Amagi, why a CEO's job is to be a clock-builder and not a time-keeper, and many more things. Episode 2: $1.5B Amagi Founder Baskar Subramanian talks about culture at work, parenting, and building from ground upNext is Nithin Kamath, the co-founder and CEO of Zerodha, India's largest online brokerage. He doesn't believe in setting targets or goals for his company or employees. He also is one of those rare Bangalore founders who have succeeded at scale without taking a single dollar of venture capital. No, in fact Nithin insists Zerodha's success is partly due to avoiding venture capital.From his anonymous days as “Nathan Hawk”, “Tarzan” or “Columbus” at a call center or internet forums, to running one of the most profitable and yet leanest startups in India, Nithin covers a lot of ground. He talks about thinking like a trader, running a company with zero attrition, creating optionality and many more things. Episode 3: Nithin Kamath of Zerodha candidly talks about building his bootstrapped business, weighing risks, and finding opportunitiesWhich brings me to Naveen Tewari, the co-founder and CEO of adtech giant InMobi, which is not only a unicorn in terms of its own valuation, but was also the first Indian company to incubate another unicorn of its own, lockscreen giant Glance. Naveen is one of the earliest tech entrepreneurs from India, having started his very first company, SMS-based search provider mKhoj, way back in 2007. Thus, survival is one of his recurring themes.Over the conversation he talks about the mistakes he made as an entrepreneur and his lessons from them, building careers and companies slowly instead of “blitzscaling”, CEOs pushing the envelope of what's possible within companies, and a lot more. Episode 4: InMobi founder Naveen Tewari gets candid about survival, innovation, and playing the game by changing the rulesAnd finally, we have Ananth Narayanan, the co-founder and CEO of Mensa Brands, a global tech-led house of brands – I know, it's a mouthful – which earned the distinction of becoming India's fastest unicorn. It buys existing brands, and then punches up their scale by providing the resources and knowledge to do so. Ananth says that's no different from a P&G, which too is a house of brands if you really look closely.Ananth talks about the emotional toll founders pay silently each day, learning to manage energy and not time, the best way to solicit and give feedback, and many more things.Episode 5: Learnability, curiosity, and brand building; Ex-Myntra CEO and Mensa Brands founder Ananth Narayanan gets candidI hope I managed to interest you in at least a few of those incredible conversations, if not all of them! Tell us what you thought of today's format. Did you like it? No? What other new features would you like from First Principles or The Ken?  Write to me at podcasts@the-ken.com. And if you haven't already rated us on your favourite podcast platform, why is that? I would truly appreciate your rating, no matter what it is. Lastly, a big thanks to my colleague Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer, for helping put together this special episode across nearly 8 hours of conversations. See you next time with a new conversation with another accomplished founder. Till then, this is me Rohin thanking you for listening and for your support.

Amazon Web Services yesterday announced the launch of its second Indian data centre facility in Hyderabad, called the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region. The first was opened in Mumbai in 2016. Britain's top competition authority will launch an investigation into the Apple-Google duopoly in the web browser market after many developers and businesses in the country complained of harmful restrictions imposed by the tech giants. And SaaS broadcast tech provider Amagi has acquired Streamwise, a company in the US. Notes: Amazon Web Services yesterday announced the launch of its second Indian data centre facility, which it calls an infrastructure region, in Hyderabad. The new data centre facility, AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region, “is part of our long-term investment in the country since opening our first office in 2011,” Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at Amazon Data Services, said in a press release. Amazon established its first Indian data centre facility in Mumbai, in 2016. AWS plans to invest an estimated $4.4 billion (about Rs. 36,300 crore) in India by 2030 through the new Hyderabad facility. Britain's Competition and Markets Authority said in a statement yesterday that it will launch an investigation into what it called the “stranglehold” that Apple and Google have on the internet browser market. The UK's top competition authority consulted on launching a market investigation alongside its Mobile Ecosystem Market Study report, which found that Apple and Google have an effective duopoly on mobile ecosystems that allows them to exercise a stranglehold over operating systems, app stores and web browsers on mobile devices, according to the statement. Responses to the consultation, which were published yesterday, reveal substantial support for a fuller investigation into the way that Apple and Google dominate the mobile browser market and how Apple restricts cloud gaming through its App Store, according to the statement. Web developers have complained that Apple's restrictions, combined with suggested underinvestment in its browser technology, lead to added costs and frustration as they have to deal with bugs and glitches when building web pages, and have no choice but to create bespoke mobile apps when a website might be sufficient. Sarah Cardell, interim Chief Executive of the CMA, said in the statement: “Many UK businesses and web developers tell us they feel that they are being held back by restrictions set by Apple and Google.” “When the new Digital Markets regime is in place, it's likely to address these sorts of issues. In the meantime, we are using our existing powers to tackle problems where we can. We plan to investigate whether the concerns we have heard are justified and if so, identify steps to improve competition and innovation in these sectors,” she added. Amagi, a SaaS technology provider for the broadcast and connected TV businesses, has acquired Streamwise, an early-stage data aggregation and reporting platform for content distributors, the company said in a press release. Streamwise specializes in automating and standardizing data collection for streaming platforms. The acquisition will help Amagi enhance its data solutions capabilities with comprehensive reporting and dashboards, it said in the release.

This week we discuss the recent comments from Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO around profitability, retention, windowing, bundling and pricing of HBO Max and Discovery+. Profitability, not purely sub count is how they benchmark for success. We also discuss his comments on how collapsing all windows, starving linear and theatrical and spending money with abandon, while making a fraction in return on the service of growing sub numbers, has ultimately proven to be deeply flawed. On the topic of churn, we point out what the industry is getting wrong with their assumptions and highlight the recent comments from Disney's CEO, who said that price increases don't meaningfully increase churn or cancellations. We also recap Q3 earnings from Disney, Vizio, Akamai, Edgio, Kaltura.Companies, and services mentioned: Disney, Netflix, WarnerBros.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yesterday, launched 75 Digital Banking Units (DBUs) in 75 different districts across the nation, as the government moves to bring banks to the doorsteps of citizens in far-flung areas. These units are brick-and-mortar outlets that will offer a variety of services to customers—all digitally. They will also inculcate digital financial literacy and awareness of cyber security in digital financial transactions. A self-service mode will be available round the clock at these outlets. Notes: India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yesterday, launched 75 Digital Banking Units (DBUs) in 75 different districts across the nation, to boost financial inclusion in the country. “We have given top priority to ensure that banking services reach the last mile,” he said. “We not only removed the physical distance but, most importantly, we removed the psychological distance,” Modi said, according to a government press release. Prosus, a Dutch-listed technology investor, said on Friday it has agreed to sell its Russian online marketplace Avito for 151 billion roubles ($2.46 billion), to Kismet Capital Group, Reuters reports. Horizon Worlds, Facebook parent Meta's flagship metaverse for consumers, is failing to meet internal performance expectations, according to The Wall Street Journal, which has reviewed company documents including internal memos by employees. Meta initially aimed to reach 500,000 monthly active users in Horizon Worlds by the end of the year, but the current figure is less than 200,000, according to the Journal. Netflix will introduce its ad-supported plan called Basic with Ads in the US on Nov. 3, for about $7, and the plan isn't available in India, Mint reports. Workers at a second Apple store in the US have voted to unionise, The Verge reports. At the Penn Square store in Oklahoma City, 56 workers voted for and 32 against unionising with the Communications Workers of America. In June, workers in Maryland voted to unionize in association with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Avataar Venture Partners, which has backed unicorn software startups such as Amagi and Zenoti, has launched its second fund with a corpus of $350 million, three years after the firm launched its first fund, Economic Times reports. Meanwhile, venture debt provider Alteria Capital, which has backed Mensa Brands and Dunzo, has launched its third fund with a first close of Rs. 1,000 crore ($125 million), largely from domestic investors and soft commitments from institutions.

If there was one theme in the startup ecosystem that dominated 2021, it was unicorns! After all, 2021 saw the rise and rise of India's start-ups with the unicorn-base doubling. Out of India's 90 unicorns at the beginning of 2022, about 46 had emerged in 2021 itself. “The unicorn wave in India is still going strong: one unicorn has been added every five days within the first two months of 2022, and India is expected to have 100+ new unicorns in 2022” - HDFC Securities report   And, in various quarters, the optimism has also carried on into 2022. According to an HDFC Securities report, accelerated funding activity is expected to create over 100 new unicorns in India in 2022. In fact, according to a report, from the beginning of 2022 till April-end, India saw the rise of 14 new unicorns. These are Fractal, LEAD, Darwinbox, DealShare, ElasticRun, Livspace, Xpressbees, Uniphore, Hasura, CredAvenue, Amagi, Oxyzo, Games24x7 and Open. All of this, has papered over some of the early indications in the ecosystem -- from corporate governance concerns to the sobering performance of some start-up IPOs. And, dark clouds could be around the corner. A number of venture capitalists recently told Business Standard that the pace at which unicorns will emerge in India might get a bit slower in 2022. One of the major reasons for this slowdown could be the challenges within the ‘soonicorn' ecosystem. In fact, only a handful of soonicorns have been able to raise funds in the first quarter of CY22.   “The pace will reduce in the second half of the year due to global macro risks affecting liquidity. But net-net, we may still end up with a number close to that of 2021” - Anand Prasanna, Managing Partner, Iron Pillar Fund Iron Pillar Fund Managing Partner Anand Prasanna told Business Standard that the pace at which unicorns emerge would reduce in the second half of the year owing to the effect of global macro risks on liquidity. According to Prasanna, increasing customer acquisition costs, poor performance by some consumer tech unicorns that went for IPO recently, and India's macro-economic challenges could affect the pace of unicorn creation in 2022. Some other reasons for the slowdown are a spike in the US interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and of course the rising inflation. Another major reason for a slowdown in unicorn creation could be that   After a frenzied investment activity in 2021, the market is likely to be cautious this year and investors much more choosy. This could be another reason for a slowdown in unicorn creation, and not necessarily a bad thing. There might be a need to slow things down and look at the sustainability of these unicorns. Let's start with valuations. Consider the funding lifecycle of a start-up. First comes the seed round. Then comes Series A, Series B, Series C, and pre-IPO series rounds, all of which usually culminate in an IPO. Now, as one news agency pointed out, there are doubts that the valuations, which multiply with every funding round, are based in a large part on opaque formulas. Metrics that are the gold-standard for traditional companies, from profit after tax to EBIDTA, are not generally useful when it comes to companies that continue to run in losses. Instead, cost of goods sold, GMV and active user counts are the valuation metrics that have to be used. This might not be a matter of great concern as long as it is the venture capitalists alone who are shelling out cash based on these valuations. But, it becomes unsettling when retail investors get involved through an IPO. Then there are matters of ethics and corporate governance. Amid reports of data fraud and tax evasion at Indian start-ups, the Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal recently said that new-age companies must strengthen ethical and corporate governance standards, otherwise, start-ups would earn a bad name. While Goyal didn't mention the name of the startups, his statement comes after

This week in Indian startup news, Navi Technologies files for Rs 3,350 crore IPO, Trell to lay-off half of its workforce, Infra.Market under investigation for allegedly not paying their taxes, and Clear acquires Xpedize. In funding news, Amagi raises $95 million to become a unicorn, Byju's raises $800 million, Licious raises $150 million and Blinkit raises $100 million. Navi Technologies files for Rs 3,350 crore IPO: Navi Technologies has filed for a Rs 3,350 crore IPO. Back in 2020, Navi had applied for a universal banking licence to achieve their banking dreams. But it's been over two years but RBI has still not granted them a universal banking licence. In the midst of this, Navi Technologies failed to secure funding from SoftBank. And in order to keep their banking dreams alive, Navi Technologies has no option but to go public at a time when the global stock markets are taking a hit. However, the fintech startup is counting on its strong financials to make its IPO a success. Trell to lay-off half of its workforce: Social commerce platform Trell is looking to let go of 300 of their employees out of the total workforce of 700 people (500 of whom are full-time employees). While this six-year-old startup has raised a total of $61.9 million - they raised a $45 million round less than a year ago - valuing them at $120 million. Since last year there have been multiple reports of Trell being in talks with Amazon to raise anywhere between $50-80 million. But those talks seem to have fallen through after reports of a probe being conducted by EY India into alleged financial irregularities in the startup. It seems now that Trell is left with no choice but to let go of their employees in order to survive. Infra.Market under investigation for allegedly not paying their taxes: According to an ET report, income tax authorities have raided B2B construction materials marketplace Infra.Market's offices in multiple cities and founders' homes were reported to be raided as well. It is said that Infra.Market is being investigated for not paying their taxes as well as some fake invoices. However, this news comes at a bad time as the company is reportedly looking to close $450 million at a $4 billion valuation. Clear acquires Xpedize: Clear (previously known as ClearTax) has acquired supply chain financing platform Xpedize in a deal which is estimated to be worth ₹100 crore. This is Clear's second acquisition after acquiring B2B payments platform Ybanq in July last year. With this acquisition, Clear will be rebranding Xpedize to Clear Invoice Discounting to offer financing solutions to 1.1 million SMEs that use their platform. Amagi raises $95 million to become a unicorn: SaaS-based media technology startup Amagi has raised $95 million in a round led by Accel at a $1 billion valuation making them India's 12th unicorn of 2022. Byju's raises $800 million: Edtech giant Byju's has raised $800 million in a round led by its founder Byju Raveendran – taking his family's ownership into the $22 billion edtech behemoth. Licious raises $150 million: D2C meat and seafood brand Licious has raised $150 million in a round led by Amansa Capital at a $1.6 billion valuation to launch new product categories and invest in strategic acquisitions to expand their reach. Blinkit raises $100 million: 10-minute grocery delivery startup Blinkit has raised $100 million from Zomato – which is expected to be a part of a larger $400 million funding round. There are talks that Zomato will be buying out Blinkit to get into the instant delivery business.

As (hopefully) many readers will know Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, Tim Siglin, and I have been strong vocal supporters of Women in Streaming Media and more broadly of our ‘sisters-in-streaming' for many years. In programming conference sessions and panel discussions, webinars, and more we always proactively try hard to reach out to those women we know in the industry to ensure there is frequent representation for women in public events. Photo above: Speakers on the "Future of Monetization" panel at Streaming Media West Connect earlier this month. Top row, L to R: Nadine Krefetz, Consultant, Reality Software and Contributing Editor, Streaming Media; Damian Pelliccione, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Revry TV; Elizabeth Parks, President, Parks Associates. Middle row, L to R: Mike Woods, SVP - Ad Products, Amagi; Daniel Schneider, SVP, Revenue, Cinedigm; Gene Pao, Senior Vice President, Digital Enterprises, Shout! Factory. Bottom: Chris Yates, General Manager, Redbox On Demand We attended the launch of Women in Streaming Media at IBC in 2018 as invitees of Alicia Pritchett, Diane Strutner, and Peggy Dau (who drive the initiative). We have always held one of two guest seats for them in SMAdvancedForum.com—our monthly catchup with ‘characters' from the industry, and we traditionally try to hand over the reins of the show to an all-woman crew specifically for International Women's Day each March. When interviewing for articles, we keep our ears out for opportunities for womansplaining to take the priority over mansplaining, and (unknown to you all) we have protocols for keeping an eye out for when women are getting squeezed out in panel discussions where we are moderators, to ensure their voices are heard. And if you think it is bad across the streaming sector as a whole, once you dive into the CDN sub-sector, the situation is seriously dire. In fact, no event has even been more painful for me to programme than the Content Delivery Summit, the latest iteration of which ran earlier this month. Just look at the agenda. Great topics with really engaging speakers, and a dense day of exciting engagement across the sector. But we had only two women on the program—kudos Elsa Pine from EdgeConnex and Nino Doijashvili from Tulix). On publication of the agenda, this issue was raised directly with me by both Ian Wagdin from the BBC (whose PR department raised it on a ‘non-discrimination' concern) and by active support of Vanessa Vigar, who is a member of Women in Streaming Media and has pointed out the issue in events beyond Streaming Media and SMAF. And absolutely rightly so. But I had to clarify the back story, which I want to share a little with you all here. We initially worked with sponsors to place their participants. Elsa has been a frequent panelist at CDS, and so she and her company were very much involved from the outset of this event. And while a couple of the other sponsors initially did put forward women speakers, in both cases they switched them out for male representatives before the programme was finalised. We don't really have much control over who sponsors put forward to speak, so at that stage we took that on the chin, and decided to focus on the panels and non-sponsor placements in the event. So we put out the call for speakers in August/September, and we had about 3 dozen responses. The respondents were 100% from men. Not a single woman replied—and that call was distributed on StreamingMedia.com and its associated feeds with no (known of) bias. This is the first time that has happened, and it ties up strongly with evidence I have seen in SMAdvancedForum (SMAF) too; while up until this summer we have never had any issue reaching out for and finding f...

While cable services may be on life support, the simple truth is that live TV captivates audiences in ways on-demand content can't. Maybe it was the anticipation that came with watching Roy Halladay fan 11 Marlins hitters in a perfect game for the Phillies back in 2010, or the anxiousness that occurs watching state-by-state election results roll in on a Tuesday night in November. The bigger point is that while on-demand content has become a big part of our daily viewing habits, live television and the revenue companies generate from those audiences is undergoing a renaissance.“In order to do business, in order to have the things we need, we need to generate revenue somehow. So the payment for what happens, and the ability to create content, pay artists, funding great content has to come from somewhere. Either people have to pay for it through subscriptions directly, which is the SVOD space, that's Disney+, Netflix, and the HBO Max, or they have to be willing to accept advertising because the advertisers are paying for the value there. These are the tensions in the trade-offs.”Those tensions are creating an interesting dichotomy between traditional cable viewers and the trendiness that comes with being a cord cutter. But it's also generating an even larger divide in how media companies distribute their advertising dollars. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Mike Woods, the SVP of Product for Amagi Corporation, joined me on Marketing Trends to discuss how media companies are approaching their ad buys when it comes to live streaming services, and why SVOD services such as Netflix and Disney+ are bucking traditional advertising with subscription based models. Enjoy this episode!Main TakeawaysCan We Just Drop That In?: Dynamic ad insertion is providing advertisers with the ability to insert advertisements within movies and television shows that was not possible on traditional cable networks. With traditional cable advertisements, media companies had to buy based on show demographics, which drastically limited their reach. With streaming services, advertisers now have the ability to drop in quick mid-rolls and post-roll advertisements that they are able to strategically target to various homes or audiences.Digital Divide: While streaming services have made dynamic advertisement a core component of their business model, there is still a big divide between how advertisements are sold on live streaming platforms. Oftentimes, agencies will have specific departments devoted to cable TV and another to digital advertising, which is causing companies to skew their decision making one way or another. Until these two areas are housed together, media buying for these companies will continue to not deliver a holistic audience.Is It Worth It?: The general assumption when SVOD services such as Netflix were born is that consumers were paying less for individual subscriptions than they were for entire cable subscriptions. But as companies have adopted similar models and invested in streaming services with their own platforms, the cable TV model of paying for individual channels has been replicated, with consumers often paying more for individual subscriptions as a whole than they were for their cable subscriptions.---Marketing Trends podcast is brought to you by Salesforce.

In the latest episode of Grit Stories, I spoke with Baskar Subramanian, founder and CEO of Amagi. Baskar has been an internet entrepreneur and startup founder since before either of those terms were really a thing. Having started and sold his first startup in his mid 20s, Baskar, along with a group of friends, started looking for new problems to solve.  The group set their sights on disrupting television advertising with technology, the startup that became Amagi.The startup ecosystem, Indian or international, sometimes focuses too much on the loud and the noisy. But there's another kind of startup, quiet, tough and resilient, focused on their business and their goals. It's clear which kind Amagi is, and this was a great insight into the people behind it.Amagi has been in the future since 2008, and we wish them the best with their rocketship.2:44-3:45: Baskars Story; Coming from a small time; being dyslexic but still finding a connect with the computers3:45:20-5:14:09: First business stint in grade 11!
