Indian Engineers Need to Wake Up. Nothing CEO on AI, India Plan & Future of Tech Jobs Varun Mayya 2026-03-21 | In this conversation, we sit down with Carl Pei, founder of Nothing, to talk about how he built a phone company from scratch in a hypercompetitive market like India. We get into how Nothing stood out not by having the biggest budget but by noticing a simple thing: all the big brands were trying to sell to everyone, which meant nobody was really selling to anyone specific.We then go deep on how a phone actually gets made, from deciding what the product stands for to managing hundreds of supplier relationships, keeping cash from getting stuck in inventory, and shipping on time when delays cost millions. Carl also talks about where Nothing is headed with AI, what Essential Apps is really pointing toward, and why he thinks the entire idea of an operating system is going to change completely within the next few years.We then wrap up by talking about people and culture, why Carl brought everyone back to the office five days a week, what that did to the quality of hiring, and what he thinks the next few years mean for software engineers who are not actively paying attention. If you’re someone who wants to understand how a hardware startup actually competes, how Carl thinks about building for the long term, and where phones and AI are headed, this episode is absolutely worth your time.00:00 – Introduction02:16 – Breaking into a commodity market05:08 – How Nothing plans to be uncopyable06:25 – Beyond vibe coding07:50 – The way we build software has changed09:25 – The process of phone manufacturing15:04 – Distribution strategy21:50 – Why Nothing opened a physical store25:32 – Nothing's content playbook29:34 – First hires are never your best hires35:27 – Carl Pei's learnings41:19 – The OS that makes apps obsolete46:50 – Closing Thoughts
Why Indian Startups Are Unprofitable | KATA 6 Varun Mayya 2026-03-09 | Welcome to the sixth session of the 16-Kata series. This one takes on one of the most quietly destructive problems in business and life: attribution. Figuring out what's actually responsible for your success or failure, and why most people get it completely wrong.The session walks through how Nike lost $25 billion by chasing what was easy to measure over what actually built the brand, why Indian startups stay unprofitable by overdosing on performance marketing, and why tools like coupon codes, ROAS, and "how did you hear about us" forms give you garbage data. It also applies the same lens to life, challenging ideas like "hard work leads to success" and "the best product wins" as textbook poor attribution, and asking a room spending 10 lakhs on degrees whether those degrees had anything to do with where they are today.Whether you're in marketing, building a company, or just trying to figure out why certain decisions aren't paying off the way you expected, learning how to attribute correctly changes how you spend your money, your time, and your energy. If you're optimizing the wrong inputs in your business or your life, this one's for you.00:00 - Highlights00:59 - What Is Attribution?03:40 - Creators Who Steal Credit05:06 - ROAS Is Killing Your Brand07:50 - How Nike Lost $25 Billion09:52 - The Performance Marketing Death Spiral13:20 - Your Survey Data Is Lying to You16:50 - The Proxy Attribution Hack18:31 - Shares Are the Only Metric That Matters20:48 - How People Actually Buy Things24:00 - Bad Products Advertise for Competitors25:08 - The Only Attribution Method That Works26:36 - Did Your Degree Even Matter?29:00 - There's No Single Path to Success34:32 - Hard Work Is Not Enough36:00 - The Actual Formula for Business Success37:43 - Closing Thoughts
