My co-founder Dharmesh and I met at a cocktail event before business school, where he was scouting potential collaborators.

I was the first investor in Android and played a role in the early days of Dropbox, emphasizing the importance of relationships in investing.

The partnership came together when I realized my heart wasn't in venture capital; I wanted to build. I felt lost after leaving Dropbox, where I was part of a product that 400-500 million people were using.

I came up with the idea for Dropbox out of frustration after forgetting my thumb drive on a bus trip, which made it impossible to get any work done.

To validate the need for Dropbox, I created a demo video that gained significant traction on Hacker News, which helped us get into Y Combinator.

Dropbox's founders faced challenges in predicting their success early on because many others were working on similar solutions, highlighting the importance of execution.

To accelerate progress at Dropbox, I realized the fastest way was to grow the team size, as we started with only 30 engineers who were spread too thin across various platforms.

We were all friends and had worked together before, which made us confident that our co-founding team was the right fit for building something long-term.

Starting Meesho with my co-founder was my best decision, as it allowed us to navigate the ups and downs of building a startup together.
