I got a job before finishing PhD so joined it, never appeared in the placement sessions at IIT ... Later completed the PhD...

I'm unemployed for 2 yrs due to an accident and unable to enter the job market now...

I am under some debts so targeting high paying jobs

I have a decent research profile

I know a bit of AI/ ML python data science etc.. but only offline version.. not comfortable with online/ git etc.

I'm passionate about markets, I know equity, derivatives, etc. and long term short term investment too.. i understand balance sheets, pnl, cashflows, financial ratios etc.. also technical analysis too, I have build my own indicators and momentum ranking strategies too, i also know basics of electricity derivatives (but never traded these)

Visited UK once for research collaboration etc. open for international roles too

Although she is divorced she looks very good and young. She has a kid who studies in some boarding school. So I thought marriage could work out.

I had feelings for her but couldn't gather the courage to express my feelings because I used to fear rejection, I used to think she also likes me because she was very friendly with me... So one fine day i told her that I have feelings for her and said that I want to marry her... But she told let's spend some time and let's see how things pan out .. to which I agreed..

A few days later, I accidentally read the whatsapp chat of another male colleague, which hinted there is something between them. As he used to give her lift in his car somedays so I thought let's follow both of them..

After following for a while, i found they picked up another guy and went into a hotel... It was an oyo in some residential area.. not a mainstream hotel, and from the guest list i confirmed that all three went together...

I stopped talking and started avoiding her, when she confronted, i told that I know her secret and what she's doing is not good..and I am not interested in any form of relationship...

So what she said blew my mind, she told that

1- she has her physical needs esp once one is into these sxeual acts, it's very diffcult to stop.

2- the third person was a guy who she met in some dating app, and since she wanted safety so she took the office colleague with her, with whom she had become physical occasionally..

3- she told it's not cheating as she hasn't committed to me, if she had given me commitment she would never cheat on me. And now she wants me to go to dates with her to explore the possibility of relationship and she saying it was a mistake as she also started liking me more since the time I proposed to her..

4- she is now saying it's my fault as I followed her ... It's illegal unethical immoral and unlawful... And wants me to apologise to her for this..

She said I understand nothing about women's safety and her needs... Although I care for womens safety but I don't find engaging in orgies is a good idea but she told all her friends and girl these days are into this for only reason: safety

Me coming from a middle class background and tier4-5 town, this is very new for me and I don't know how common these things are in metros...

I am very confused, although I am getting the girl I used to like, she is still in my mind, also she has a great caring nature and great dressing sense.. but should I continue with this...

Sometimes I think if she is so caring then why she's not keeping the child with herself..

Sorry for the long post and my poor English.

Edit : please respect women, this is not the stone age this is 2026. A woman can make her choices, and don't slut shame her for this. People can have their needs and safety too is important at the same time.

I just want to give a good life to her. I came to know she was in a very difficult marriage and was tortured by her in-laws. As a result, her husband and in-laws all were jailed. Cant you guys have sympathy with such people who had to go through so much in life ...

Zerodha sells MTF positions if there is margin shortfall on T+1 whereas Dhan gives T+5.

Even when after a day or so the price recovers, Zerodha sells by themselves and charges a lot for this. Plus you pay for pledging, unpledging etc.

Also when a stock moves from Group 1 to 2/3 then you can't buy it for MTF, Zerodha asks for the money by same day whereas Dhan doesn't ask for money for old stocks in demat but stops MTF on that stock for new orders.

I have lost in lakhs for these useless things by Zerodha, some of which are against SEBI rules.

What are some better brokers than Zerodha? Because I need at least 2 brokers and will move away from fraud idi0t Kamath whose podcasts revealed how mor0n he is.

I took a concentrated bets portfolio approach, bring down the portfolio stocks from 120 to 28. But now realized the stocks which I sold have gone up 30-300%. And the diversied portfolio would have been better for me. Also, in concentrated portfolio i became too much bothered about my portfolio and wasted whole time during the market hours on my stocks.

Previous approach -- whenever I used to find something good about any company I used to allocate a significant portion, and add in declines in future.

Now - i sold mostly the stocks which were not doing well or were down but now I realised they had gone up significantly while my concentrated portfolio is down around 8% with respect to the previous portfolio construct.

PS - I know academic research says a concentrated portfolio does well. And too much diversification kills returns.

I used to run a tech startup which went into loss and stopped operations. I am the founder here, i used to have a tech team but not now.

Someone once gave me the definition of being rich: it’s when your wife can run a fake business, lose money (2-5 lac pm), and still think of herself as an entrepreneur like you and as a business owner.

Edit : logical young men are getting offended.. sorry bros, you will get more offended in future when you will see this happening with you or in your family..

World is unfair to men.. and worst part is men hide this from good honest hardworking younger men

Edit 2: the men who know the reality are silently liking upvoting the post without commenting shit.. only the kids commenting.. thinking her girl love her the way he loves her... She love you bro... But love has a different meaning for her... As a women...

And disclaimer.. I love all women for who they are .... I love and respect all women.... Love creatures as they are

Who thinks govt's startup india seed funding is a scam? One incubator fellow told me, even he can't get funding if he registers his own startup. It's only for people with connections or those running successful business and its sure that they will succeed big time so that incubator gets namefame & money

whats your view on stl networks, now operating as Invenia? anyone covering this ?

I had to let go my tech team as I was unable to raise.

Education- BE, MTECH, PHD all from tier 1 govt engineering colleges/ univs... Diploma in management.. stock market investor

I too will invest my personal capital into the listed business, as I am expecting the company is under valued and available at 1 time the sales. Planning to invest 10 lac in the listed business, if they invest in my company.

I was a student of one of the promoter's father and 3 promoters know me personally.

Question is will they agree ? And is 70 lac investment for the 50 cr sales and 30 lac profit company (whom I'm approaching for for investment) is a big amount?

I will ask for office space etc.

where to find postdoc positions in energy, solar, energy transition, energy + ai ?

Edit: forgot to include themes like energy policy, energy transition policy, green hydrogen, etc.

I have 2 yr gap after phd, was working in industry then took a break due an accident and health issue.

Not in touch with both of my phd supervisors, one has already retired 2 yrs before my phd. Both had no interest in my research and done the phd mostly independently.

So should i approach them now or after securing one (if it happens, i know very tough these days) ?

We are not behind in the AI race.. We are not in the race.. we are running in some other direction.. our VCs are worse than the Galgotia lady

Edit: I wrote this post against Indian VCs in anger because when I pitched to them, many discouraged my idea saying that it doesn't have any moat. Although it has and lot of moats can be created once we start.

I know about moats and I do stock market investing for living, my education - PhD in engineering and a management diploma.

My question is if you guys (our beloved Indian VCs) understand moats and innovation, so well why we are not in the AI innovation race.

Anyways, I don't have any expectations from these jokers who are inexperienced, uneducated, manipulators, can't think original, just a bunch of herd followers, working with a very small capital base.

What I expect : i expect older listed companies will drive the innovation, obviously, like reliance, vedanta ( or sterlite), airtel, and listed foreign companies like GE, SIEMENS, LG, etc. Yeah I know Anantraj, techno electric etc but those are not into innovation.

Registered a Pvt Ltd company in full Josh… now I’m stuck. Need guidance.

A couple of years back, I got carried away and registered a private limited company thinking: “Startup karenge, funding uthayenge, IIT background hai — ho hi jayega.” Fast forward to today, I’m just burning money on compliance with no real traction.

Reality check has been brutal:

• Govt support schemes sound great on paper, but actually getting funds feels nearly impossible.
• VCs keep saying “no moat,” which honestly feels frustrating given I’ve been in the stock market for 10+ years with ~28–30% CAGR by analyzing moats.
• the 20–22-year-old analysts who’ve never built or sustained anything themselves and know nothing about business or investing cant figure out the moat by go through 10 page pitchdeck imo.

On top of that, I had an accident 2 years ago, stopped working, and now I’m trying to rebuild and re-enter the workforce.

Now I’m confused:

• Should I shut down the company to stop compliance burn?
• Pivot into something small and cash-flow based instead of chasing funding?
• Use the company for trading/investing since that’s where I’ve actually performed well?
• Or just forget the startup route and focus on getting a stable job first?

Would really appreciate practical advice from people who’ve been through this — not motivational gyaan, just real options.

Feeling stuck and don’t want to keep bleeding money without direction.
