Folks, a reminder that my book launch is tomorrow 6:30 pm at BIC, Domlur.
We'll start with a introduction to Super Cool Startup and how it came about (by me only) and unveiling the book with @sajithpai, @beastoftraal, and @mohitanagpal. This will be followed by a panel discussion with the guests, and the book signing.
Please come!

One reason it's more difficult to work with people you don't have faith in is simply that there are more possibilities to consider whenever they do something. You also have to consider all the ways they might have screwed up. Even if they didn't, you still have to think about it.

Need legal help in Mumbai: We have received a legal notice seeking to prevent us from reporting on a data breach that potentially impacts members of the public, and listed companies (hence shareholders)
We had contacted the breached/co for comments in good faith, in order to represent their position because the breach is confirmed.
We are responding to their legal notice but I don't want this to set a precedence in such matters related to data breaches: if a lawyer can help us in Mumbai in this public interest matter, please get in touch.

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:
Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.
On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.
He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.
If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.
This is too good for the ecosystem.
IIT Bombay will make a windfall ₹55 crore gain from SEDEMAC’s IPO this week
SEDEMAC was incubated in 2008 by SINE in IIT Bombay - the University will be be selling ~₹27.6 crore worth of shares during the IPO
This is the largest exit at IPO for any university incubator in India (even more than IIT Madras with Ather Energy)
It is also IIT Bombay’s 2nd incubation to IPO - the first was ideaForge in June 2023 where the university sold ~₹1.5 crore in the IPO (with a total position size of ~₹6.7 crore)
Most importantly, SEDEMAC is the 1st faculty-led startup from India to get listed on the bourses!

Big Step towards open-source AGI.
A year ago, we started working with @hstyagi , @antoniok1406, @oleg_golev, and the @SentientAGI team.
Our agent @askjavin, became a home for crypto natives to get on-chain insights in plain English—saving hours of tool-hopping.
Glad to have built with the @SentientAGI team.
We build together...More to come...
The token economy that will power open-source AGI is here 🌐
Over the past year, we have engineered a community-first, long-term oriented system to foster open-source AI development.

My yearly reminder to all founders as you go build that next Google/MSFT/Salesforce killer app in 2026: when distribution is proprietary, distribution wins (Comcast vs Netflix), when distribution is commoditized, best product wins (chrome vs IE), when product is commoditized, best service wins (Amazon vs others), when service is commoditized, best network wins.

Getting into YC as a non-technical solo founder:
@SurbhiSarnaSF told Kathryn (@kathrynjc7) that any framework you apply to yourself that limits your success becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
