AI : still at it 🤦. It’s fascinating and scary to think - how much change is around the corner and how less we are thinking about it … Pre-Internet Era : “Information was power.” Access to knowledge was scarce, and those who controlled it (institutions, media, experts) held power. Post-Internet Era: “Making sense of information was power.” The internet democratized information, shifting power to those who could filter, analyze, and apply it effectively. Post-AI Era : “Inquisitiveness and execution will be power.” •AI commoditizes knowledge and analysis, making asking the right questions, strategic decision-making, and physical execution the new sources of power. •Judgment, creativity, relationships, and AI augmentation will be key differentiators. •Real-world execution (manufacturing, logistics, energy, biotech, etc.) will become a major bottleneck and a source of competitive advantage. Those who can work effectively without over-reliance on AI, build trusting relationships, connect unique dots across multi disciplines- will hold unique influence in an increasingly automated world.

Disheartened to read about the stampede at Mahakumbh today. We have a team stationed in the Mahakumbh Region and thankfully everyone is safe. Hopefully, the situation is under control now (please reach out if it’s not!) If you or your loved ones are there in Prayagraj today and need any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at mahakumbh@appsforbharat.com or DM me. We’re constantly in touch with our Sri Mandir team which is on the ground for your support. I’ll personally try to give updates as and when I get them. Please RT and help spread the word 🙏

What we look for in Indian founders is if they are building businesses for next 10-20 years, if they can really look at a problem to demystify it, and how they create teams/incentivise them to stay ~@ashishkumar Co-Founder & General Partner @FundamentumVC at #CIIUnicornSummit

When chai at airport is 150 rs (small cup) and at 33000 altitude is 100 rs ! You can believe not everything is exorbitant! #airasia #india

@ixigo Any updates ixigo team after our call? Your flight ticket and the Airline flight ticket shows 2 different flight numbers / time. Can you please resolve this quickly?

@ashishkumar Hey Ashish, you may call us on 011-61224444 for assistance or you can share your booking details with us over DM so that we can assist you. Thanks. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@ixigo I have an issue with my flight ticket that your chatbot isn't able to solve, and I can't contact you. How do I contact you? Looks like the Airline has booked me on a different flight than what my ixigo ticket shows

@TheCoolLife101 Very contextual to the business, but assuming a tech company - 'product', 'engineering', 'GTM', 'Domain', 'Data' roles are what you need. 1 person may be able to play 2 roles, depending on stage and problem.

@ashishkumar Got it. When you say “team completion” - what specific roles are you referring to/looking for in the senior team when the company is at a Seed round? Thanks for replying 👊

@ashishkumar Quick question - do VCs prefer to see multiple founders in a business all with unique skills or is 1 founder supported by other technical recruits as employees with equity options - just as good? Especially if that company already shows good growth regardless

Read that bangalore traffic police is fining people for not wearing seat belts even when sitting in the rear seats of the car. Can they also clarify when can people riding in a car fine the authorities for potholes and water logging?
