Had a great conversation with @_AnandDaniel from @Accel on @Seed2Scale. We went deep on a few topics I care about: -- Why I back founders, not ideas - and how I test for obsession -- Why one person should own both the decision and its consequences -- How AI is reshaping the build vs. buy equation -- When legacy companies should cannibalize themselves - and when it's too late Have a listen!

🧵 Enduring companies are built by founders with a deep obsession. @gokulr, Partner at @MarathonMP, says the strongest early signal is how personally committed a founder is to the problem. (1/10)

The founders who win aren't the most credentialed. They're the ones who can't imagine doing anything else. I sat with @gokulr to unpack what 300+ investments taught him about obsession, decision-making, and why AI changes everything.

Great healthtech companies in India are rare, because the execution is brutal. @tarunbhambra & @dhruvg have built @OrangeHealth_ with the rigour of consumer tech and the conviction of a team that genuinely cares - a combination that is rare. We are proud to partner with them.
Accel in India@AccelIndia

Healthcare that comes to you, not the other way around. @tarunbhambra and @dhruvg built @orangehealth_ to make that real with 60-min collection, a diagnostic lab that opens till 10 PM, and delivers reports within 6 hours. Watch their journey of building India's fastest lab on #InflectionPoint.

(1/7) Most pitch decks explain what you do. Investors are deciding why this deserves attention over 300 other ideas in their inbox. That gap is where most decks fail.

Jonathan Siddharth, CEO and co-founder of Turing, has been at the center of the AI data revolution. In a recent Decoding AI conversation with @_AnandDaniel, Partner at @Accel, he shared a shift every AI founder needs to understand: the bar for data that can actually improve models has fundamentally changed.

India has emerged as one of the most active IPO markets globally, especially with top-tier startups making their debut on bourses. The story goes beyond tapping the public markets. Founders are building enduring companies rooted in stronger governance, scale, and global relevance. In The Wall Street Journal’s latest feature by @Kimberley_Kao and @NegrinOchoa, @_AnandDaniel, Partner at Accel, noted that AI-led companies in India have entered the scale-up phase. As these startups mature, they’re poised to drive the next wave of listings, a reflection of how resilient and diversified India’s innovation economy has become.

Just three years ago, @SimplismartHQ was 10 days away from shutting down. Fundraising felt impossible. Amritanshu Jain and his Co-founder had taken 190 investor meetings and still couldn’t crack the story. The refrain they kept hearing: ‘How will 24-year-old engineers from Bengaluru build something this technical?’ The turning point came when they stopped talking about cost savings and reframed what they had really built: the world’s fastest inference engine. That shift changed everything. In a single month, Simplismart leapt from zero revenue to ₹80 lakh ARR. On #InflectionPoint, @amritanshu_jain shares the near-death moments, the pivot in positioning, and how Simplismart is now chasing the ambition of building India’s own AI infrastructure giant.

We launched the fasting charging scooter today which can do 60 kms in 15 mins and did a live demo at the Bharat Expo. You can use any type 6 connector and fast charge this. It’s LFP cells and can do at least 1.6 lakh kms :)
