We shut down FrontRow 2 months ago, and are returning the remaining capital to our investors.
The last 4 years were a lot. Here's a bit about what happened, what I learnt, and more importantly how I felt ->

Wavelength app is finally live.
In December, we built an app-less experience. Chat based, completely scrappy. Whatsapp blocked 80% of our messages, emails went to spam. We were literally texting people manually to tell them they had a match.
And it still worked. We matched about 250 couples and people went on real dates.
Then we rebuilt everything voice first. You talk to Wave, she listens, questions, and matches you based on what she actually hears. Efficacy and satisfaction went up by 6x.
Now our app can actually ping you when your match is ready and ask how your date went.
Love is coming to Bangalore.

@pratyushbuddiga The concept of 'value' in venture / growth is somewhat inverted -- it's knowing when to pay the highest price.

Sucks that they had to go through this, but love how positive a response came out of it!
Institutions need to growth with the ecosystem, and we really need to trust the rule all law else it's just an overhead on an already hard think / death by a thousand cuts
Sumit Gupta (CoinDCX)@smtgpt
I want to address what happened to Neeraj and me last week. Of course, it was quite shocking to us as well and honestly very disheartening. But today, we want to talk about what actually happened and more importantly, what we’re going to do about it. On March 21, we were taken into police custody in connection with a fraud complaint. Three days later, on March 24, a Thane court granted us bail, finding that prima facie, no case was made out against us. The fraud at the centre of this complaint was carried out through a fake website - "coindcx.pro" by impersonators who have absolutely no connection to our platform, our systems, or CoinDCX. No money moved through CoinDCX. No transaction occurred on our exchange. The complainant himself confirmed in court that he did not know us and had never met us. I'll be honest: our experience was deeply unsettling. Not because we doubted the facts -- we knew from the first moment that this had nothing to do with us. But because it made something painfully clear: the ecosystem we operate in doesn't yet have the tools to tell the difference between the people building this industry responsibly and the people exploiting it. Think about what this precedent means: if a scammer uses your brand, your name, your face in a fake website and defrauds someone, you can be arrested. Not the scammer. You. This Could Happen to Any founder, Any Business. That has to change. And we've decided that CoinDCX will lead that change - not with words, but with actions. Today, we are announcing Digital Suraksha Network (D.S.N.) - a ₹100 crore commitment from CoinDCX to build the cyber safety infrastructure that India's digital finance ecosystem needs but does not yet have. This is not a crypto problem. This is a problem across any company which has a digital footprint. Here's what we're building: → 24x7 WhatsApp helpline: free for everyone, not just CoinDCX users, to verify links, platforms, and offers before you transact. → Open Fraud Intelligence API: We have already documented 1,200+ fraudulent websites impersonating CoinDCX. That data sat inside our systems. Not anymore. We're building an open API to share this intelligence in real time and inviting every exchange, fintech, bank, and digital lender to contribute. A shared immune system for India's digital finance ecosystem. → Cyber Safety Infrastructure for Law Enforcement: The Digital Suraksha Network will fund training programmes for state cybercrime cells on blockchain forensics and digital asset tracing. → "Caution Before Transaction": a nationwide initiative to give every Indian the tools to participate in digital finance safely. We know that no single company can solve this. Fraud networks are sophisticated, cross-border, and evolving daily. Nowadays, they make use of AI that makes them exponentially harder to catch. But someone has to start to fix this problem from the root. We are putting ₹100 crore on the table because the ecosystem cannot afford to wait. I am asking every platform, every regulator, and every Indian who participates in digital finance to join us. We want to ensure that anyone building startups in India like us can do so with confidence, and not with fear.

One of the interesting effects of being branded quick commerce is that everything else just feels so bad. If you are not ordering from quick commerce, are you ordering from slow commerce?

@gauravmunjal Congrats and all the best :)
Gotta make edtech real and large!
English
Unacademy and upGrad have signed a term sheet for upGrad to acquire Unacademy in a 100% share swap deal.
Neither side will disclose the valuation until closing, when the papers are filed and the transaction becomes public.
In the last one year, a lot has happened at Unacademy:
- We consolidated company operated centres with franchise partners so we could refocus on what we do best, building great online education products
- We completed a ₹50 crore ESOP buyback and nearly 40% of former employees have already participated
- Airlearn, our first global product, is gaining meaningful traction in the US, UK, Germany and Canada
- Our Cash Reserves as of today are more than $100M
I will be staying back as Co-Founder and CEO Unacademy - with the Goal to build Great Online Products for Learners in India and Globally.
Unacademy helped invent the Modern EdTech Playbook. Along the way we lost some focus and market share, and the sector itself has not seen enough real product innovation in recent years.
AI will fundamentally reshape education, and EdTech may become one of its biggest beneficiaries. The opportunity to reimagine learning products has never been greater.
I have long admired what @RonnieScrewvala and the upGrad team have built. They have quietly but relentlessly established themselves in the upskilling, lifelong learning and higher education space.
If & when we do come together, we share upGrad’s belief that ‘The Whole is bigger than the Sum of Parts’ and altogether we will impact students, learners and working professionals & build great Products from K12 to Forever Learning.
The next chapter for education is only beginning.

@ku1deep or at least v rarely, because that meta needs to align with what creates value at some point
English
It occurs to me that the meta in VC game always overwhelms everything else. You are better off building what a partner with ability to deploy believes than what you believe. In the short term this will always be true. You are just trying to harvest gold from the passing opinions of people sitting on the said pot.

.@SarvamAI's been on a tear on X, but that's just the start of the compounding of an absolutely amazing team, going at a difficult problem, and going at it very hard
"Our impact will be at the GDP-level, and we intend to have an impact at P&L level for every global and local company that serves India at scale. This is our work. This is our wager. This is our life’s mission."
