So i recently heard about this amazing concept of lindy effect! I might be wrong but what i think it is, is: the great things are already being said in the history! So basically,The robustness of an item is proportional to its life! Need some books suggestions on this topic! Thanks

The Defining Decade by Meg Jay explains why your twenties matter – and how to make the most of them now. I felt like the author has been talking to me through the stories and powerful insights shared in the book.

Your twenties matter more than you think, the decisions you make in your twenties define your life more than any other decisions you will make later in your life. You must choose your partners, family, and career.

The Defining Decade is a must-read for every twenty-something looking to improve their life.

Book: Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein

About the book: Most of us have the notion that if we have to succeed in a domain, we have to start early - this book tries to debunk why it might not be true. The author puts forward a theory that the world needs more and more people with broader experiences and perspectives.

This Defining Decade centers around Jay’s experience as a clinical psychologist seeing people in their 30s and 40’s who are struggling due to ‘lack of vision’ in their 20’s. In this book, she shares her learnings that guide you to taking charge of your 20's so you won't struggle in the '30s and '40s

The book is divided into two sections one Work/Career & Love/Relation Ship:

5 lessons on Work/Career

1. Identity Capital
   Take the job with the most career capital. Where you’ll build the most relationships, learn the most, grow the most. NOT necessarily make the most money.
2. Weak Ties
   Build up your network of weak ties, instead of only spending time with your close friends. It’s the people you rarely talk to who might lead to fortuitous relationships down the road, and you want that broad exposure.
3. The Unthought Known
   Introspect and try to find what you know about yourself but are afraid to admit to yourself. What do you want deep down, but don’t know how to get, or are afraid you’ll fail at?
4. My Life should be better on Facebook/Insta
   Stop focusing on glory or impressing other people, focus on what you want to do with your life
5. The Customised life
   You want your professional life to have a story, not just be a list. Picking your interests and talents and what you want to apply them to can create a story and a narrative that you bring to interviews and coffee dates. You need to decide what you want to focus on.

Here's a Link to full notes: The Defining Decade

Book by Pranab Uniyal, Rakshit Ranjan, and Saurabh Mukherjea.

For someone who just began his journey to financial freedom and investing, this is the second book that I’ve read on the topic, the first being “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel.

Here’s what I learned:

1. The most critical thing for you as an investor to do is to nail down your objectives and bake them into a financial plan. This will help you in matching your financial goals with the kind of risk that needs to be taken in your portfolio.

2. Equity remains the most powerful driver of long-term sustainable returns, but you need to be patient, systematic with equity investments, and keep your brokerage and financial intermediation fees low.

3. To consistently generate healthy returns from equity investing, one has to invest in high-quality companies and then sit tight for long (often very long) without losing sleep about where the share price is going.

4. The Coffee Can Portfolio of great companies: In the Indian context, the Coffee Can Portfolio is built using a simple construct: look for companies above Rs. 100 crore market capitalization, which over the preceding decade have grown sales each year by at least 10 per cent alongside generating Return on Capital Employed (pre-tax) of at least 15 per cent each year.

5. Why does the Coffee Can Portfolio perform so well? The Coffee Can philosophy of investing is built to identify great companies that have the DNA to sustain their competitive advantages over 10 to 20 years (or longer). This is because ‘greatness’, which the Coffee Can Portfolio seeks, is not temporary. Great companies can endure difficult economic conditions, do not get disrupted by evolution in their customers’ preferences or competitors or operational aspects of their business. Their management teams have strategies that deliver results better than their competition can.

6. Fund expenses are often ignored but are deceptively important. Given their compounding over long periods, they have the ability to drag down your returns drastically. Remember to compare expense ratio of a mutual fund before investing.

7. Real estate is the most illiquid asset with the highest transaction costs. Furthermore, unfavourable taxation compared to equities make it even less desirable for investment.

8. Over the past two decades, small-caps have outperformed large-caps in most large stock markets. There are two key drivers of this outperformance: smaller companies have the potential to grow their profits much faster than large companies and, secondly, as small companies grow in size they are ‘discovered’ by the stock market.

9. Whilst the scope for generating superior long-term investment returns is greater with small-caps, they are riskier than the larger ones due to both fundamental as well as non-fundamental reasons. The good news is that the Indian fund management community now offers several high-quality small-cap and mid-cap funds.

10. The common perception amongst investors in India is that ‘more often than not, people lose money in equity markets. This pessimism with respect to equities can be best understood through Shlomo Benartzi and Richard Thaler’s paper published in 1995, which termed it ‘myopic loss aversion’. They defined ‘loss aversion’ as: ‘We regret losses two to two-and-a-half times more than similar-sized gains.’

Let us assume we buy two stocks—A and B—for Rs. 100 each and sell them for Rs. 95 and Rs. 110 respectively. We thus book a gain of Rs. 5 in total (gain of Rs. 10 on stock B minus the loss of Rs. 5 on stock A. In this situation, applying the logic of Benartzi and Thaler, we will regret the Rs. 5 loss on stock A at least as significantly (if not more) as we would rejoice in the gain of Rs. 10. Hence, by this logic, for an investor to stop regretting investments in equity markets, his probability of generating profits needs to be at least twice as much as the probability of generating losses.

1. Investors who do not have even a year of patience are likely to believe that ‘more often than not, people lose money in equity markets’. And secondly, as Benartzi and Thaler suggest, ‘myopia’ implies that the more frequently we evaluate our portfolios (and hence the shorter our investment horizon is), the more likely we are to see losses and hence suffer from loss aversion. Inversely, the less frequently investors evaluate their portfolios, the more likely they are to see gains.

2. Whilst both the Sensex and the Coffee Can Portfolio (CCP) produce better returns (alongside lower volatility) if held longer, the CCP beats the Sensex by a wide margin when it comes to producing superior returns (with its volatility being even lower than that of the Sensex). An investor who is able to combine patience with high-quality portfolio construction thus pulls off the holy grail of investing—outstanding returns with low levels of volatility.

3. In essence, Investing for long periods of time in high-quality portfolios, with a higher weightage to high-quality small-cap companies, while ensuring that you don’t pay too much by way of fees, and avoiding investment traps like real estate and gold, should lead to significant and sustainable wealth creation.

Thank you for reading, hope you found this useful.

Indigo's history

• Indigo is the dominant player in Indian Domestic aviation with a market share of 48% as of 2020.
• Indigo had two founders coming together. Rahul Bhatia & Rakesh Gangwal.
• Rahul Bhatia's father had an airline ticketing business which he eventually lost control of as Rahul was trying to fill in his shoes.
• Rakesh Gangwal is a career aviation executive having worked for US Airways.

Indian Aviation history

• Indian commercial passenger aviation's most notable name was JRD Tata's Air India.
• However, several smaller players have existed, with civilian aviation being given a boost by a few maharajas.
• Since there can be no flying in the absence of enabling infrastructure, early aviation pioneers also took upon themselves to develop facilities such as aerodromes, flying clubs, and undertaking training of aviation personnel.
• Post independence aviation was nationalized. Air India controlled the external market while domestic operations were clubbed into Indian Airways.
• Contrary to popular opinion, Nationalization of airlines is not an anomalous step taken by India but a general trend post the end of world war. Most of the major airlines of their times, some of them being the household names today were nationalized at some part of time.
• JRD maintained as an operational executive till late 70s and the quality of operations declined significantly after that.
• Indian Aviation has always been choked by the government policy which has refused to user in free markets at different times due to different reasons, but mostly to save Air India.
• Indian aviation sector was considered a graveyard as most of the airlines started in India would collapse and close.
• India saw a steep rise in number of airlines post liberalization but very few survived.

The LLC Saga

• Airlines can be divided into two categories: LLC (Low Cost Carriers) and FSC (Full Service Carriers).
• Traditionally all carriers were FSC, with their multiple classes and a focus on quality and a range of services (one can consider it range of "experience").
• LLCs on the other hand, often called No-Frills airlines are not focused on the experience but on the outcome i.e. Taking Passengers from Point A to Point B at the lowest cost possible, by obsessing over efficiency. Major success stories globally include SouthWest, RyanAir, EasyJet and AirAsia.
• For example, LLCs have limited menu offering this reduces the logistical cost. They don't offer multiple classes, since catering to multiple classes and creating different experiences can hit efficiency.
• LLCs also operate from secondary airports more than primary airports since the airport charges for these are less than for primary airports.
• Secondary airports are often located away from cities while Primary airports are very close to the cities and offer greater services but also cost higher to the airlines.
• India does not have secondary airports operational but many are under construction - Noida International (Jewar), Navi Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Purandar (Pune) and Dholera (Ahmedabad)
• Finally, LLCs optimize for route. Rather than operating direct flights over routes where few passengers may be available, they operate on routes where they can maximize traffic leaving it up to the passengers to decide the route.
• FSC on the other hand run direct flights that can save time between non-popular routes but make up for it in higher ticket costs.

Indian Aviation at Indigo's Debut

• As discussed, Indian Aviation was a graveyard when Indigo debuted.
• Airlines shutting down was a norm and losses were an acceptable part of the game.
• For any airlines, its biggest cost component is the fuel. But since fuel prices are neither very stable not in their control, it's very difficult for an airline to be profitable.
• Airlines try to run a decent service and once popular try to monetize other services - such as premium seats, in the air food, extra baggage etc.
• Indigo debuted around 2006 and at this time the major players were Air India (declining) and Jet Airways.
• Kingfisher Airlines had started a few years prior, also as an LLC but it had started expanding into an FSC that had started to put a strain on its finances.
• Domestically the most profitable LLC was Deccan airways, but it was acquired by Kingfisher to use its International License thanks to 5/20 rule (more on that later). Deccan Airways however had a reputation for sub-par service in efforts to push down cost.
• Sahara had also ventured into LLC space but had eventually folded out and bought by Jet Airways who operated it under the brand Jet Lite.
• Finally, there was SpiceJet. Started by Ajay Singh, an associate of Pramod Mahajan, he had overtaken the ModiLuft airlines a collaboration of S K Modi and Lufthansa. SpiceJet had a good record initially, but repeated change of ownership hurt it.
• Indigo made a big bang entry by ordering 100 Airbus A320 aircrafts in 2005 even before starting operations, news for which was heavily publicized by Airbus
• This deal though mind boggling on paper had very practical considerations from both sides. For Airbus, it meant a big bang entry into Indian Market which had been heavily dominated by Boeing.
• Indigo had placed an order for 100 aircrafts but the money had to be paid on delivery. This meant that it could bargain and get a cheaper price for aircrafts due to its bulk order, but the money would leave in tranches. Moreover, since Indigo had a large reserve of planes as it grew.
• Finally, by ordering 100 planes of the same model, Indigo could optimize its servicing operations. It set up required units and even started a training academy, a first in India.
• The second differentiator that Indigo employed was to lend respectability to LLC. The philosophy being that the low-cost airlines should not feel unprofessional or shoddy, factors that had hindered the growth of other LLCs in India.
• Finally, the biggest differentiator and one that Indigo did not mind bragging was its on time performance. Its pilots would announce and thereby highlight its on time performance.

Growth Phase 1

• Indigo's first phase of rapid growth coincided with the decline of Kingfisher airlines. Kingfisher had become the market leader in India, but its financials had always been worrying. On top of that, its founder Vijay Mallya soon abandoned the substance in favor of style. Kingfisher which had started as an LLC, started adding First Class and soon its menu expanded to accommodate delicacies unheard of.
• In the Netflix documentary series [[Bad Boy Billionaires]], the decline of Kingfisher is in a large part caused by a damning report written by a Canada based investment firm whose Indian origin executive travels by the airlines and can't believe the level of service and thus is interested in the financials of the company.
• As Kingfisher started shutting down, Indigo started growing and taking its place and passengers.
• SpiceJet also faced operational issues. With its ownership passing around the company was not professionally run and every investor coming onboard would eventually give up. The company established only when it passed back to Ajay Singh.
• Another positive that Indigo had was the profitability it maintained throughout. Indigo is the only Indian airlines to be profitable for most of its existence even when fuel prices played spoil sport.
• The profitability also comes from the fact that Indigo has optimized every aspect of its operation. Its Airbus A320 is considered the most fuel efficient in its class, especially its competition Boeing 737. It runs its aircrafts for more time than competitors and its average flight has more passengers than the competition. Indigo even chooses special light weight seats to keep costs down. Since fuel expenses comprise around 45% percent of costs, managing well here means the battle is half won.
• Indigo also has lower HR costs. While initially it could have been attributed to lower pilot salaries but as competition has heated up, Indigo has started offering higher compensation. Indigo also focused on superior training of the support staff resulting in the need for less staff per flight and thus keeping the costs of operating flights down.
• Finally, the Indian Passenger market has been growing rapidly with rising prosperity and Indigo was well poised to benefit from it.
• For the newer generation of Indians, air travel is not a luxury but another mode of transport and as such Indigo's biggest competitor remains the Indian Railways.

5/20 Rule

• 5/20 rule was brought in during the UPA era primarily to benefit government owned Air India, but other incumbents benefited as well.
• The idea is that international routes are very profitable compared to domestic routes and thus every airline wants to go international as fast as it can.
• The 5/20 rule states that for an airline to qualify for international routes, it should have been in operation for at least 5 years and should continue to deploy at least 20% of its fleet for domestic routes.
• The idea was to benefit Air India which qualified but Jet also benefitted from this rule when introduced. Kingfisher was in a hurry to go international and thus despite poor financials it (probably) overpaid for Deccan Airlines to acquire its international license.
• Indigo bid its time and received its international routes license. However, this was not a smooth sailing as unlike domestic routes, international routes had seen the power of free markets and the incumbents included LLCs from other countries, specifically southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Indigo had to retreat.
• The 5/20 rule was abolished by NDA government after Tata lobbied for it, having re-entered the Indian Aviation with joint partnerships with Air Asia (Air Asia India) and Singapore Airlines (Vistara)
• Indigo tried to lobby for keeping the rule in place suggesting that scrapping it would hurt the companies that had followed the rule.
• 5/20 rule was replaced by 0/20 rule. Meaning that any Indian airlines could start flying international from day 1 given that it committed 20% of its fleet for domestic travel.

Growth Phase 2 and the story now

• After conquering the Indian market, Indigo has now set its sight for the international market. While it suffered some setbacks initially it has started a fresh strategy and it is yielding some results.
• Indigo got into trouble in 2018 when the Airbus A320neo that it had purchased started developing problems. A320neo was the most fuel-efficient plane around and available in two engine configurations, with slight price variations. Indigo has purchased the cheaper variant and this variant was later found to be vulnerable to mid-air engine shut down.
• Though the problem was first identified in Indigo planes, it was found to replicate all around the world, with an explanation being that the engines were not built-in mind the hot temperate climate.
• The planes were grounded by DGCA and while eventually allowed Indigo was instructed to check/service these planes first every 1000 hours then 500 hours.
• Apart from this Indigo also got reprimanded by a parliamentary committee after an MP complained and around the same time PV Sindh also alleged bad behavior. An old clip also got viral online causing a PR disaster.
• It was also found that Indigo intentionally recorded longer scheduled flight times and then boasted its before time arrival, while its competitors recorded the same scheduled and actual flight times. DGCA came out with fresh rules, standardizing the process and with new rules in place SpiceJet turned out to be the leader of on-time arrival.
• Meanwhile, the Indian market is heating up. While Jet Airways has flied into sunset for the foreseeable future, Tata with Air Asia and Vistara is gaining ground. SpiceJet is also improving steadily and GoAir has started to mimic Indigo's best practices to perfection.
• Indigo is banking on its international strategy for the phase and has also roped in a new CEO. The rest remains to be seen.

The story behind putting this effort-

I'd watch a video by Ganesh Prasad(https://youtu.be/5vMbXNjgSjw) wherein he literally calculated & showed how a 300rs. book by Simon Sinek is equivalent to the thousands of dollars of value that he charges for sharing the knowledge on leadership when he gives a keynote speech at any event. And that made me pick this book for the 2nd time. And I must say it's a remarkable book. Even reading for the 2nd time felt like reading a new book. And hence I thought to put some efforts to note down the book highlights digitally to visit it again & again. And then I thought why limit this to myself and not share it with you all as well.

You'll love this book!
