Attending
@AIBoomi's Annual Conference in Chennai last week was such a blast! Love flying in with my
@inklehq team for this annual gathering of the world’s largest community of AI and SaaS founders.
Huge thanks to all the AIBoomi team and volunteers. This is the most "pay it forward" org I have seen in my career. Hard to mention all, but the mastermind is
@avinashraghava. Thanks Avinash and team for an incredible event! 🥳 Aneesh Reddy, Shruti Kapoor,
@mtripathi,
@sureshsambandam, Keerthi Madhu, Neha Arya,
@SeharDabur and so many more!
My favourite bits:

@Persistentsys founder
@anandesh's masterclass on what 4 tech waves taught him about building a lasting organisation.
- still wondering how
@gohighlevel got to 🚀 $500mm and 1mm companies in 8 years, whilst being relatively under the radar... amazing talk from co-founder
@varun_vairavan.
- an incredible session on rebuilding your SaaS company as an AI company by Naga Subramanya B B, who changes his role like a chameleon from CFO to Head of AI Transformation at
@sprintoHQ.
-
@Google India MD
