Building Fast and Slow
Reid Hoffman once said, “if you’re not embarrassed by your first product, you launched too late.”
In this article, the author explains how you can balance velocity with quality when you are building great products. He also talks about why it is good to build fast and slow if you are aiming to build products that could change the trajectory of a consumer’s life.

🌟 What’s new at Airtribe
After the huge success of our first cohort with an NPS of 81.98, we are back with the second cohort of Product Management Launchpad by Naggappan Ramasamy that will enable you to either transition or break into a PM role.
📖 Book of the week
For this week, we have a superb recommendation for you to learn about how India is finding unique ways to address its myriad of challenges.
This book has a wealth of stories, lessons learnt and insightful frameworks. We feel like it’s very valuable for founders who are building and innovating for middle India.
💫 A recent discovery we found fascinating
The power of saying “NO”
This week, we explored this powerful tweet by Adam Grant. Sometimes, we overestimate the negative consequences of saying NO but the reality is a whole lot different.
Saying “no” with respect and intentionality is always better than saying “yes” to something you don’t have the capacity to support successfully.
