Little did I know that I will end up creating history on Shark Tank India. Rarely a pitcher gets double the valuation of what they originally ask for. I was little nervous before walking in front of five sharpest minds of the country. I had little to zero preparation. I had got married just 2 weeks before my pitch day. I had to even cancel my honeymoon to make it to the pitch day. My wife came with me to Mumbai and I remember her words - "It's something you have worked for two years, you don't need to prepare. You live and breathe it. Just go and express yourself." Afterall she is the force behind the force since more than half a decade. Thousands of hours of hard work. Hundreds of conversations with my users. Belief of my small but lethal team. Belief of my early adopters. Belief of my first investors, my friends. Belief of Aviral, my first institutional investor. Belief of my wife, who is letting me build my dream with unconditional support. I was representing all of them on national television. Being appreciated by the sharks. Being validated. The way it came out, it is surreal. It was beyond my dreams. Everything was exceptional. I have received at least 500+ messages so far across the social media from all parts of the country. The pitch, the journey, it has given hope to millions. The fact that you can pretty much achieve everything with hard work and sheer determination. My parents cried so much yesterday. I am in Munger right now, my friends came, we watched together. Bhaiya organized watch party in Ahmedabad. My friends did it in Delhi, Bangalore, Dublin, New York. Literally everywhere. And @MultibaggAI is just getting started. The journey of building a global technology company from India got a booster shot. -- Thank you so much @sharktankindia for this crazy opportunity. Thank you so much all the sharks for your faith, appreciation and kind words. It will be with me for my entire life. @amangupta0303 @1kunalbahl @AnupamMittal Mohit Yadav @jetsetgoin

I used to think a good stock means a good company.

Cron jobs exist. Every runs them. Nobody cares. AI Agent schedules a task. "It's autonomous. AGI is here." APIs exist. Developers have used them for decades. Call it MCP. "This changes everything about how AI works." Notifications exist. Your phone sends 50 a day. AI Agent sends you one. People lose their minds. If-else logic exists. Boring. AI makes a decision using rules. "It's thinking. IT IS ACTUALLY THINKING." Autocomplete exists since years. Meh. AI suggests the next word. "This will replace all developers." Script automation exists. People have used it since eternity. Call it an Agentic Workflow. "It's the future." Cache exists. Literally storing data to be used later. Call it AI Memory. "It remembers me. It's alive." What's in a name?

I have been thinking about how AI must be used in the Iran strikes. So I tried to break it down into functions. Think of these five functions running one after another. Function 1: Takes a decade of classified data, intercepted calls, satellite images as input. AI goes through thousands of such documents, pulls out important details and starts connecting them. It outputs a ranked list of high value targets with confidence scores. Function 2: Takes the above ranked target list as input. AI checks each target against live satellite imagery. Are the coordinates right? Is the facility still active? This function outputs a verified GPS coordinates with a timestamp of last confirmed activity. Function 3: Takes verified target coordinates as input. AI looks at how far each target is from every nearby US military base and aircraft carrier. Then it checks what is available. Tomahawk missiles here. LUCAS drones there. It gives a weapon-to-target match based on range, cost and precision as output. Function 4: Takes weapon-target pairs as input. AI runs thousands of what-if scenarios. When is the best time to strike? How many casualties? Are civilians nearby? Output: a full strike plan with multiple options ranked by how likely they are to succeed is presented to humans. Function 5: Takes the chosen strike plan as input. AI tries to predict what happens next. How does Iran respond? What missiles do they have left? What happens to oil prices? How far does this escalate? A detailed spillover scenario is presented to defense team. I am very sure, humans must be in the loop everywhere verifying details at each step but imagine LLMs doing it instead of humans and one more function that takes the output of all the above functions, picks the target itself, picks the weapon and fires based on its own judgement. That is how a fully autonomous AI weapon would look like. PS: Everything is imaginary here. The engineer inside me is just trying to think out loud. You can come up with your own version.

For the first time, a commercial AI (Claude) was used to identify targets, simulate battles, and plan strikes to kill Iranian leadership. For the first time, a commercial cloud data center (AWS in UAE) was physically hit by military drones by Iran. For the first time, AI that writes your emails, summarizes your PDFs and helps you build apps helped US plan a war against Iran. For the first time, all 6 Gulf nations were attacked in 24 hours including Dubai. Drones, data centers, automation and AI. Modern warfare is changing rapidly. India has a golden chance to prepare while the world fights.

Trump's Saturday playbook: > Bomb Iran — Saturday > Bomb Iran again — Saturday > Capture Maduro — Saturday > Sign Canada/Mexico tariffs — Saturday > Liberation Day tariffs kick in — Saturday > Hike tariffs to 15% — Saturday > Deploy troops to Portland — Saturday > Threaten Chicago — Saturday Markets closed. By Monday, you've already accepted it and it's an old news.

Meanwhile, the actual economic momentum remains incredibly strong. The third quarter beat street estimates by hitting 7.8%. Private consumption is finally growing at a faster rate than the overall economy. Vehicle sales and UPI transactions indicate that the current quarter will likely exceed 7-8%. The economy is running extremely hot right now.

To meet the budget targets now, the economy must grow at a 13.5–13.8% next year. The math simply does not work out. The government might have to recalibrate its borrowing and take on more debt to bridge the widening gap. 5/

The government just changed the way it counts our wealth. On the surface, the Indian economy looks like an unstoppable machine. The headline growth of 7.6% looks good at first, but there is an issue. Because the economy is now measured as smaller in rupee terms, the government’s budget math gets tighter in FY27. -- A thread🧵

I will tell you my story. I wanted to hire a full-stack developer intern and a full-time employee at Multibagg. But I have dropped the plan because of Claude Code's capabilities. To everyone in the industry, I have a simple and ruthless advice. Work hard, embrace and become AI literate, increase your productivity as your life depends on it or get fired. There is literally no other solution.

Indian CEOs are definitely making notes here because Nifty IT is down 35% from its highs. ₹4.15 lakh crore has been wiped off in 2026. What is the solution to save IT stocks from this free fall? Adopt AI. Fire people. Data: @MultibaggAI

Jack Dorsey fired 4,000 people today. That is almost half of the headcount in Block despite business doing really well. Why then? 🧵

Consumers are absorbing the efficiency losses, and the savings are kept at the macroeconomic level. India has successfully built a massive biofuel ecosystem. Now, it stands before a complex mess. Pushing blindly toward E30 without upgrading the vehicle fleet will penalise consumers. Leaving capacity underutilised will break the balance sheets of sugar mills and the farmers who supply them. The next phase of the ethanol story will test the limits of policy over market reality.

Sectors driven entirely by policy incentives face sharp corrections when the core assumptions shift. The blending program reportedly saves billions in foreign exchange by cutting crude imports. Retail petrol prices do not reflect the changing ethanol economics. 14/

Something stupid is happening in India's ethanol revolution. - India just hit its 20% ethanol blending target (E20) five years ahead of schedule. - Installed production capacity has exploded to 2,000 crore litres. The government is celebrating. But a severe disruption is quietly sweeping through the economy... 1/ 🧵
