India consumer internet is a misunderstood market among VCs. The “it’s saturated” crowd is running US mental models on an Indian reality. In the US, new consumers entering the economy is a rounding error. In India, it is the main event and each new cohort spends more than the last. That math means: categories growing 25-30% YoY, where a new entrant only needs 20% of new growth to matter. Not zero-sum Now add the AI variable. Customer acquisition, ops, personalisation, the cost curves on all of it are flattening. A founder with Claude and $2M can build what required a war room and $20M three years ago. India will be its own consumer story - hundreds of category-defining companies will bloom, each riding a fresh consumption wave. It’s still day 1.
Two VC analyst kids in a group chat are talking about new architectures for models and neural nets! Brace yourself! Might just be that desi VC kids are plotting to cryptofy these new tokens now! #run
Education and health are both the final frontiers for tech to capture two mega markets. And likely going to be the first breakouts to emerge in consumer AI. @RajatAgarwal167 and I have held that belief for a long time. We have had the privilege of partnering with cos like Supernova who are designing unique CXs for consumers. If you are building to reimagine education, we are an always keen to partner on your journey. Let’s help a billion learn better and more importantly the right way! 🚀
AI is making kids dumber. It should be making them geniuses. Introducing Koji, the first AI tutor that gets kids to actually think. 👇
Huge shout out to the team that is the force behind this. The stage is set! Let’s go! 🚀 @VishnuVenu811 @Nyrika2 @Rahul_J_Mathur
In 2026, growth oriented companies are either born AI native or transforming into one! We interacted with 250+ leaders at some of the fastest growing cos in India to pick a set of AI deployment showcases that represent the full spectrum of India Inc: - 9 sectors spanning healthcare, BFSI, education, legal, media and entertainment, agriculture and more - founders from earliest stage to pre IPO to public listed ones A line up rare to put together and if you are a builder or an investor, you have likely never experienced an event quite like this!
Demos, Not Memos! Next 2 days (May 29-30) come witness LIVE what India’s AI community is building @DeVC_Global is hosting the exclusive track at Mumbai Tech Week for founders, builders and investors to connect, learn and scale together! With our friends at @OpenAI @mumbai_tech_ and @ActivateSignal we have curated 45 tactical sessions from founders and operators who have deployed AI agents at scale, shipped AI products to millions of users and restructured entire organisations around AI native operating models.
.. and the only way to weed this one out is by always measuring people across the board on relentlessness in your teams: the only litmus test for spitting out the mediocre. No winners ever in life, no matter how gifted, have ever been anything but relentless!
..especially watch out for the “top decile mediocre coasters” these are the ones who have a brethren of their own; and they collectively survive and selectively thrive in the wider ecosystem, and silently (most stealthily) weaken your orgs and systems…
Mediocrity becomes a permanent ailment , if not addressed by the time you step out of your teens. “Nurture the natural” is only truth about behaviour shaping that holds. Thankfully, it’s not a communicable disease….
@MainzOnX No neural nets have registered/voiced any complaints, yet :)
Today we’re announcing our $113M Series B led by @CapitalGVC. Over the last 6 months, weekly volume on OpenRouter grew from 5T to 25T tokens as AI rapidly shifts from experimentation into production. We’re excited for what comes next.
Having tinkered with building a self improving harness (NLAH) a few weeks back with evals and worktrees, can vouch for how powerful and understated this approach is. Finally someone put deeper thought towards it. Must read and follow!
Gradient descent for SKILL.md files sounds interesting, maybe a bit complex but it's becoming a real part of agent harness. SkillOpt is one of the first papers to treat markdown skill files as trainable parameters and provides a proper optimization framework for them. A few
for those of you interesting in mastering the art of quantitative communication once you are done with Tufte, you may advance to Bertin billions of dollars have been reallocated based on the lessons of this text
And if you haven’t read this book n times, don’t feign system design depth. Please.
if you run an ai lab, pls ensure your team has read this before putting any charts out into the world
Today we reduced headcount by 22%. The business is the strongest it's ever been. So I think it's important to be direct about what I'm seeing and why. First, I made this decision and I own it. I did it because the way to operate at the highest level of productivity is changing,
@anilgoteti @tarun_davda @getscapia @generalcatalyst @peakxvpartners @z47_vc Congrats @anilgoteti and team @getscapia !
@getscapia just raised $63M, led by @generalcatalyst. @peakxvpartners and @z47_vc doubled down. I want to say what this round actually means to us. This is not just validation. This is responsibility. The work today is the same as yesterday. Build a travel ecosystem that a generation of Indians actually wants. Earn trust one transaction at a time. Stay rooted while we scale. Delight our customers. Our customer base grew 7x last year, with India showing up in ways that quietly excite me the most. To every Scapia customer, thank you for picking us. You are the motivation behind every product we ship and every small fix. To the Scapia team, you are turning belief into a product people reach for every day. Thank you, team. Long innings ahead. We are still padding up! To the General Catalyst team, welcome. To Peak XV Partners and Z47 and our existing investors, @ElevCap , 3STATE Ventures and Tanglin Venture Partners, thank you for backing us before any of this was obvious. And on AI, we are already native. Every single person at Scapia is doubling down on it, every single day. It is how we hire, how we build, how we decide. This round lets us go further. Deeper upskilling for the team we have. Sharper hiring for people who build with AI by default. AI-native products for a generation that expects nothing less. The best Scapia is the one we have not yet built. Striving to improve. Forever.
A mega win for deep learning’s simplistic approach which is anti-thesis to complex cognition training. More GPUs -> wider neural net -> more associative links -> solve higher complexity problems! 💥 AGI got here when we switched to deep learning from earlier notions of replicating cognition, just a question of how fast we can throw GPUs at a problem! “In all fields—language models, robotics, autonomous vehicles—associative learning, in the form of deep learning, can shape the most diverse behaviors”
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that
