(1/9) What makes BITS Pilani so special? About 3 years back, @DurjaiSethi and I started our quest to answer this question. We interviewed 25 Business Titans from BITS and began a journey to discover why the institute produced some of the best business brains of our country

$8M ARR, 3X YoY Growth AND Profitable 🚀 ! I still remember 4 years ago sitting in one of @sjs_day1's sessions at @_surgeahead on the power of AND answers in startups. The message was simple and powerful - You should try very hard to find an AND answer to a problem and OR is often a false choice. This news makes me happy because we've finally gotten there at @BiteSpeed. Growth AND Profitability :). There are 3 core vectors driving the growth over the last 12 months 👇

The Age of AI demands planetary-scale Carbon Dioxide removal. @AltCarbonIndia is using volcanic rock dust to geochemically pull carbon out of the atmosphere — and we just proved it works at scale. The world's largest issuance of carbon credits through Enhanced Rock Weathering. ~10,000 tonnes of CO₂ removed. Enough to offset a small AI data centre. India has a history of scientific breakthroughs that stun the world — across medicine, space exploration, energy, & financial inclusion.🇮🇳 Climate Change is the most significant existential threat to our species. It demands Himalayan Ambitions. We're moving mountains to make that happen. Literally.

India's GDP is at a higher risk than we imagine. 75% of all new code at Google is AI-generated. If the code works at their scale, IT services is bound to be disrupted. And IT Service is the backbone of Indian GDP.

We removed 2,500 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere, soon to be permanently locked in the Bay of Bengal. That's equal to 3,500 one way tickets from Delhi to Tokyo. This is the largest Enhanced Rock Weathering delivery issued by @Isometric_HQ. Thank you to our Japanese partners Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL Group), for supporting the ambitious Darjeeling Revival Project. We’re glad to deliver on our promise to you from last year. But our work at @AltCarbonIndia to build the Japan-India climate corridor is just starting. “Sitaron se aage jahaan aur bhi hain”

Today we're launching AI Marketer by @BiteSpeed. Brand owners and marketers have long struggled with 'guesswork' in marketing. - What should I send next? - Which segments actually convert? - What are competitors doing that’s working? Most decisions are based on instinct and not intelligence. Which means wasted budgets, campaigns underperforming and high-ROI opportunities being missed. We thought, what if we could combine the taste of a world class marketer with performance insights from 1000s of brands and skip the guesswork entirely?

We've raised $2.1M to fix your focus. Our wearable headset @mavehealth improves attention & stress regulation in just 20 minutes a day for users at @Google, @ufc, @ycombinator. Backed by @BlumeVentures, alongside existing and new investors. Order now at mavehealth.com 🇺🇸🇮🇳

A meaningful moment for us at @potpiedotai 🚀 We’ve been featured in Forbes after an in-depth interview with David Prosser on what is truly holding enterprise engineering teams back from adopting AI at scale. The piece captures a shift we are seeing firsthand: • AI has made code generation easier, but the real challenge is reasoning across massive, interconnected legacy systems and in non-trivial tasks like debugging. • “Context” is the missing layer. Decades of decisions across code, tickets, logs, and documentation cannot live in people’s heads anymore. • Most enterprises are experimenting with AI, but very few have embedded it deeply into production workflows. • Potpie builds a structured knowledge graph across the codebase so AI agents can operate with the same clarity and safety as a senior engineer to practice spec-driven development. • Early results are already tangible, including reducing debugging time from nearly a week to 30 minutes for one enterprise customer. We are already working with large enterprises across healthcare, consumer and fintech, supporting systems with millions and sometimes hundreds of millions of lines of code. The opportunity in front of us is immense. Not incremental productivity gains, but fundamentally changing how complex software systems evolve. We’re grateful for this recognition. But it is not an individual milestone. While the story mentions me and @runtimeHorror, Potpie has been built by a much larger circle of belief. Our early investors who leaned in when this was just a sharp point of view. The mentors who pushed us to think bigger. The design partners who trusted us in production. The team that shows up every day to solve hard problems with care. To everyone who backed us early, advised us, challenged us, introduced us, and believed in this problem before it was obvious. Thank you! @anupamr, @kushalbhagia, @RTinkslinger, Ravish, @colinevans , Rachel, @rksunchained, @anshpsingh, @DavidTwizer , @ashpreetbedi , @rabi_guha , @GanatraSoham , @xdebstep , @richexplorer_ , @SameerGoyal91, @PuriSid , @maanavsagar, @prasunjain, @nikalank, @hipreetam93, @TsainGra , @vedantm_, @Mandybuoy. The space is moving fast. Enterprises are ready. The need is real. And we are building with strong conviction. This is just the beginning!

Huge news: our team at Portkey has raised $15M in Series A funding led by @ElevCap w/ @lightspeedvp 🎉 As agentic workflows become a reality and businesses recognize AI as mission-critical infrastructure, we’re here to ensure it never breaks. (1/5)

Notion began in 2013 but struggled until 2018. Their real breakthrough came because of the "IKEA effect" in 2018. And it grew to 1 million users and $10M in revenue organically in 12 months. Proof that real products don’t chase attention. They earn it.

AI solved 5 of 6 International Math Olympiad problems. Just a few years ago, it struggled with simple addition problems. This shift is bigger than most people realize.

NVIDIA is spending $100B on AI data centers. The real bottleneck isn’t chips, it’s electricity. The AI race is now a race for power.

Browser wars are on. OpenAI is reportedly building a browser. And they’ve got Chrome’s co-creator Darin Fisher leading it. This might be the first real threat to Chrome in 17 years.

Asia’s first Enhanced Rock Weathering Project receives validation! Merely 18 months after @curioushrey & I started @AltCarbonIndia, our Darjeeling Revival Project has been validated by @Isometric_HQ. To put it in context-- this has NEVER been done before in India. We have worked closely with leading labs at @iiscbangalore & @AshokaUniv to make this a reality. This will now act as a catalyst for many more high quality projects to come up, mobilising climate finance by channelling India's natural advantages and scientific talent. To transform South Asia into the global hub for CDR. We're in the business of creating corals from clouds. Watch out for our deliveries coming up soon! registry.isometric.com/proje…
