Field notes from building companies
Ideas with no expiry date.
Earned, not generated.
I’m Ranjit. I build companies. Every note here starts with something that actually happened — a decision, a result, a mistake — and keeps only the lesson that will still be true in thirty years.
Every note has to pass two tests: it happened, and it will still be true in thirty years.
Two tests for every note
It happened. And it will still be true in 2056.

Anyone can generate advice. Nobody can generate a track record.
01 · It happened
Every note starts with something I actually did — a decision, a result, a mistake — with the receipts where I can show them. No borrowed stories. No generated advice.
02 · It lasts
The lesson has to still be true in thirty years. If it depends on this year’s tools, prices or headlines, it doesn’t belong here.
Showing up, on the record
