saleem / UAE

I’m Saleem Pottachola, a technology professional and personal investor living in the UAE. My interests take me from Indian companies and local markets to US technology, Bitcoin and the wider economy.

I share Malayalam videos and English notes to make these subjects easier to understand. Expect a personal perspective, honest questions and room to change my mind.
