Spasht roop se, jab aap ek public company bante hain, toh vikas se bhi kahin zyada, nishchitata (predictability) ka ek bahut bada muly hota hai.
Clearly as you move to being a public company, probably even more than growth, there is a huge value based on predictability.

Shuruwat se hi... main ek aisi company banana chahta tha jo do, chaar ya das saal hi nahi, balki samay ke sath Amazon, Google aur baaki diggajo ki tarah ek asli ahmiyat rakhe.
From the beginning... I wanted to build a company that could sustain not for two years or four years or even ten years but be something that really matters over time the way Amazon and Google and others have.

Agar aap logon ko itne bade kaam sauphte hain ki wo ghabra jaate hain, toh wo ismein zyada mazaa lete hain aur unka kaam karne ka tarika bhi bahut tezi se behtar hota hai.
If you give people really big jobs to the point that they're scared, they have way more fun and they improve their game much faster.

Main shuruwat se hi social media se jud gaya tha - maine pehle social networks mein se ek banaya tha - aur mere liye social gaming iska ek swabhavik vikas tha.
I got involved early on in social media - I created one of the first social networks - and for me, social gaming was a natural evolution of that.

Mujhe logon par daav lagana pasand hai, khaaskar un par jinhone jokhim uthaye hain aur kisi tarah asafal rahe hain, kyunki unke paas duniya ka zyada anubhav hota hai. Aur wo namra hote hain.
I like to bet on people, especially those who have taken risks and failed in some way, because they have more real-world experience. And they’re humble.

Mujhe sirf ek behtariin product engineer hi nahi, balki ek mahaan CEO banne ki koshish karni chahiye.
I need to aspire to be a great CEO and not just a great product engineer.

Mujhe lagta hai ki asafalta hi wo sabse acchi cheez hai jo aapko zameen se jode rakhti hai, jikyaasu aur namra banaye rakhti hai. Safalta khatarnak hoti hai kyunki aksar aap samajh hi nahi paate ki aap safal kyun hue. Lekin asafalta ki wajah aapko lagbhag hamesha pata hoti hai. Us par vichar karne ke liye aapke paas kaafi waqt hota hai.
I think failing is the best way to keep you grounded, curious, and humble. Success is dangerous because often you don't understand why you succeeded. You almost always know why you've failed. You have a lot of time to think about it.

Mujhe lagta hai ki hum ek anokhe daur mein ji rahe hain - hamari online aur mobile zindagi ko banane wali kriyaayein (verbs) abhi poori tarah se ghadi ya kalpit nahi ki gayi hain. Main bhi ek aise hi safar par tha.
I think we live in a unique time - the verbs that make up our online and mobile lives haven't been completely invented or imagined for us. That was kind of a life path I was on.

Mujhe lagta hai ki ek company ki pehchan is baat se hoti hai ki aap kya karne ka chunav karte hain aur kya na karne ka.
I think you're defined as a company by what you choose to do and what you choose not to do.

मेरे लिए निवेश का पहला नियम यह है कि कोई नियम नहीं होना चाहिए। आपको बस एक बेहतरीन निवेश की तलाश करनी है और वही सबसे अहम है। अगर आप सही तालाब चुन लें, तो शायद आपको नाव की भी जरूरत न पड़े।
The first rule (of investing) for me is don't have rules. You find one amazing investment and that's all that matters. If you pick the right body of water, you might not need a boat.

लोग अपनी नौकरी में तभी पूरी ईमानदारी और लगन से काम कर सकते हैं, जब उन्हें यह महसूस हो कि उनके योगदान को सराहा जा रहा है और उसकी कद्र की जा रही है।
The only way people will have the trust to give their all to their job is if they feel like their contribution is recognized and valued.

कुछ लोग ऐसी नौकरी का सुकून और ढांचा चाहते हैं जहाँ उन्हें तयशुदा काम सौंप दिए जाएँ और जो करना है वह बता दिया जाए। मुझे लगता है कि ऐसे लोग बहुत कम होते हैं। बहुसंख्यक लोग ऐसा बिल्कुल नहीं चाहते, लेकिन मैं कहूँगा कि मैंने जिन कंपनियों को खड़ा किया है, वे ऐसे लोगों से भरी पड़ी हैं जो खुद को साबित करने की चाह रखते हैं।
There are people who want the comfort and structure of a job where they're given tasks and told what to do. I think it's actually a minority of people. The majority of people don't want that, but I'd say that the companies I've built are full of people with something to prove.
