.@zomato's latest shareholder letter has a really interesting way of describing how the best companies compound: "You start with a core insight, pull ten threads around it, and if you're disciplined and lucky, one becomes a large business. The other nine aren't failures. They're the cost of finding the one that works." The acceleration only makes sense if you understand the cost that came before it. Even in early-stage investing, you're essentially backing someone's willingness to keep pulling threads long enough for one to work.

i grew up in delhi dreaming of building tech millions of people couldn't live without. today, @wisprflow is officially live in india! before this launch, i flew to india to answer one question: does wispr flow actually work here? in the back of an auto with horns blaring. a mumbai gym with punjabi music at full volume. a dhaba with the waiter rattling off the menu faster than you can type. we went and found out - it worked every single time. india became our second biggest market on its own. we 3x'd growth in 3 months with no campaigns or partnerships. people just found wispr flow organically and made it part of their daily life. the least we could do was show up for them properly. so we're launching wispr flow in india with hinglish & android support. because it's the way i've spoken my whole life. and the way everyone around me still does. grateful to my co-founder @sahajgarg6, our india lead @findingnimo_, and everyone who made this possible.

most women founders I meet are SO good, but they're still out here having to work 10x harder just to get a meeting, let alone a cheque. I've spent the last year scouting for exactly these founders. Our latest investment was in @SuperBryn_AI, an all-women founding team of total girlbosses building in the voice AI agents space. @nikkithashanker and @DrNeethuJoy are exactly who I'm talking about. But I am not done yet and we are still looking for more such founders. honestly one of the best parts of my job is running @The_CXXO at @Kalaari, where we back women founder-CEOs ($500K–1.5M). if you're seeing strong women-led companies raising seed/pre-seed, feel free to DM me or comment any referrals below. we move fast and we're genuinely trying to change how capital flows to women founders in India.
