Indian deep-tech startup Genrobotics has secured an ₹80 crore contract with Singapore’s water authority to deploy 44 robots for cleaning & inspecting sewer networks over the next two years. The company beat over 600 global firms following an 18-month evaluation. This was particularly satisfying news for me because I invested in them in 2020. And I invested because I was moved by the fact that their motive for starting the company was to create the ‘Bandicoot,’ for ridding the country of manual scavenging. This was not a goal that would deliver them a fast path to an IPO and sky-high valuations & make them extraordinarily rich. But it was a goal that would have a dramatic social impact. Our municipalities were not just robbing workmen of their dignity, but putting their lives at risk. The Bandicoot robot would rectify that. So, to paraphrase Robert Frost: They took the path “…less traveled by / And that has made all the difference” In other words, they created a purpose-led company And the news of their win in Singapore was gratifying because it signals that purpose and profits are not at odds with each other. (Since that win, they also have won a ₹17 crore tender from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for the deployment of its advanced Bandicoot Mobility+ robotic sewer cleaning systems.) Startups like Genrobotics that are created with a higher Purpose, are my #MondayMotivation
Just did final interview, lets see if I pass or not
guys what is the best pdf to markdown stack you're aware of? talking about neat text, tables and figures extraction.
My current agentic workflow is about 5x faster, better quality, I understand the system better, and I’m having fun again. My previous workflows have left me exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling out of touch with the systems I was building. They also degraded quality too much. This is way better. I’m not ready to describe in detail. It’s still evolving a bit. But I’ll give you a high level here. I call this the Night Shift workflow.
the most underrated hire right now is a great product person. when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that. i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it. & the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start. the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled. before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.
