A Bengaluru-based tech enthusiast, Keshav Chauhan, recently shared an insightful post on X, highlighting two crucial types of people every startup needs. His thought-provoking observation has sparked a lively debate among entrepreneurs and professionals.

Chauhan’s post read: “Every startup needs two types of people: 1. Terminally online. First to know everything. X company launched Y? They knew before the official announcement. 2. Completely off social. No idea what’s happening online. Reads a physical newspaper on Sunday, immersed in books. One keeps you ahead of the curve. The other keeps you grounded in first principles.”

The post quickly gained traction, resonating deeply with many in the startup community. Entrepreneurs praised the idea for emphasizing the balance between staying updated on the latest trends while remaining focused on fundamental principles. Some users, however, questioned the practicality of managing such distinct roles in fast-moving startups.

One commenter humorously shared, “I’m both. I don’t read books, but I read newspapers daily and magazines occasionally. Meanwhile, I’m always online, reading everything.” Others reflected on the importance of balancing both roles, with one noting that the ‘terminally online’ type might do more harm than good if not properly filtered.

The discussion has brought fresh perspectives on how startups can strike the right balance between innovation and staying grounded.
