What is this newsletter, and who is it for?

This is Ritesh Malik's personal newsletter, a direct line into the mind of someone who has built companies, exited them, co-founded a university, and never stopped forming sharp opinions about the world. It is written for people who are building something, thinking about building something, or simply want to see India, entrepreneurship, and life through a lens that doesn't soften the edges.


What will I get in this newsletter?

Ritesh's unfiltered take on entrepreneurship, India, money, philosophy, and whatever is keeping him up at night.


How often does it land in my inbox?

Once a week. Enough to stay with you, not enough to overwhelm you.


What kind of topics does Ritesh write about?

Ritesh writes at the intersection of entrepreneurship, philosophy, society, and India's economic moment. Past issues have examined the attention economy and how it rewires our minds, applied Stoic philosophy to the chaos of modern life, the brutal honesty of what it takes to build a startup, and why momentum is the true engine of success.


Is this only for entrepreneurs and founders?

Not at all. If you're curious about how the world works, business, society, ideas, India's place in it, you'll find something here. You don't need to be building a startup to care about the things Ritesh writes about.


I want to know more about Ritesh before I subscribe. Where do I look?

Start with his website drriteshmalik.com, follow him on LinkedIn where he posts regularly and always says something worth reading, or find him on Instagram for a more personal window into how he lives and thinks.


Is it free?

Yes. Always has been.
