We just closed our Series B. $33M at $200M valuation. 3.3x step-up from Series A. I'll be honest, I almost didn't post about this. Valuation is the easiest number in a startup to celebrate. It's also the least real. It's just a number that our investors and us agreed on in a room. That's it. The numbers we actually celebrate are different ones: → 4 lakh demat accounts. Each customer acquired by our marketing teams, with honest messaging and sharp targeting. → 96% of orders executed under 10ms. Each millisecond fought for by our engineers who care deeply about slippage and losses. → 40+ product releases in 1 year. Each one shipped by a super lean product and tech team that is innovating at AI native speed. → 130 million trades processed since launch. Each one processed flawlessly by our dedicated Operations team, every single day → 90% CSAT positive rating. Each customer interaction carefully resolved with genuine care by our Customer Delight team These numbers don't come from capital. They come from the team. This Series B funding isn't a finish line. It's just rocketfuel for the team that built and operates this thing. And so, I raise a toast to the Team at @Sahi_HQ . Thank you for everything you bring to work every single day, and the impact you create. Onwards and upwards.

Retail investors in India have come a long way. Today, millions of people are actively trading options, building strategies, and making split-second decisions. ⁠But most platforms were built for first-time investors. For the serious, active trader, that gap is felt every single day. Jumping between tabs to check charts, confirm data, and place an order, while the market moves faster than the platform can keep up. Sahi (⁠@Sahi_HQ) was built to fix exactly that as an AI-powered broking platform designed from the ground up for active traders, where charting, analysis, and execution all happen on one screen. ⁠Behind this is a founder duo that understands both sides of the problem. Dale Vaz (@dale_vaz) brings hands-on trading experience and the engineering instincts of a former CTO of Swiggy. Manish Jain (@BeingMojo) built professional trading products at Kotak Securities and understands exactly where retail traders could be served better. ⁠We’re deepening our partnership with them as they continue to shorten the distance between insight and execution for traders.

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.

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.
