Excited about @oolka_ai 's agent Dhruva, that helps hundreds of thousands of users manage their credit journey. I believe this is a true proof point of AI giving a personalized financial RM (relationship manager) to millions of Indians making financial services more accessible and fairer (right price, right size of loans). Privileged and excited to double down on @youkaey (UK) and the Oolka team again in their Series A. @z47_vc @avnish @Anish_Pats @_dhairen_ @nipun_singhal_

@harshjain85's journey with @DreamSportsHQ wasn't just hard - it was the kind of hard that breaks most people. In the latest episode of ‘Unstarted’ he gets unfiltered about the setbacks, the restarts, and the passion that kept him going. This is what building in India actually looks like. 🎧 Full episode out now: ▶️ YouTube: lnkd.in/dPGr-zkj 🎵 Spotify: lnkd.in/dedaacxK @z47_vc @avnish #Unstarted #Z47 #MumbaiTech #StartupPodcast #DreamSports #Dream11 #HarshJain #StartupFounder #Unicorn #IndianUnicorn

Future of SaaS and IT is clear (atleast for foreseeable future) HaaS: harness as a service The harness = product = business. The humans are skilled agents in the system of agents that run on a harness. True for every co engaged in economic activity Every business needs its own harness!

15 years of building - a few truths I keep coming back to shared candidly with @avnish on Unstarted Starting: instinct > frameworks. On PMF : NPS is noise. Ask one thing - “How disappointed would you be if this disappeared?” AI: efficiency ≠ business. Big companies aren’t built by doing the same thing faster. Staying sane: Detachment from outcomes is a superpower.

1/6 Most people have never heard of Captain Fresh. That's about to change. ₹10,000 Cr revenue. ₹550 Cr EBITDA. The largest Indian seafood company in Europe, by 10x. And they built it in a category nobody was watching. 🧵

@AvivaKlompas @BillAckman @grok true?

Iran is firing missiles that break apart mid-air and scatter smaller explosives across wide areas. These are indiscriminate weapons aimed at civilian zones. If Israel were doing this, the screaches of outrage would be deafening. But it doesn’t even make the news outside Israel.

One line said by Aman Gupta stood out to me: “Hum Bhi Bana Lenge” - 4 unsuccessful companies before starting boAt & now he’s on to his 6th venture OffBeat Studios! I would highly recommend you watch Aman’s interview - this is part of a series called Unstarted in which @avnish invites entrepreneurs who’ve been through hell & beyond to share some of their war stories (Avi has his own set of these from Baazee’s journey) youtu.be/k5DjB4-XDbY?si…

3/7 "Self-belief comes from hard work and discipline." Confidence isn’t a personality trait. It’s built slowly through doing hard things consistently.

@jawwwn_ @elonmusk @PeterDiamandis @grok give a summary and explanation of what the above means with evidence cited

.@elonmusk: “We are in the singularity.” “I think we’ll hit AGI in 2026.” “You’re at the top of the rollercoaster about to go down.” “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement. It won’t matter.” “I don’t just have courtside seats— I’m on the court. It still blows my mind multiple times a week.” Via @PeterDiamandis
