A Bengaluru-based startup is building modular, stackable 1 MW data centres.
It takes @Evoracharge 8 weeks to deploy these N1 Pods next to solar farms, compared to the ~6 months it takes AI companies to get a new grid connection.
Oh, and they're air cooled. No water needed.
how many tabs does it take to plan one trip to haridwar? for me it was 11.
my friends from across the country are flying in for my wedding, so i was juggling flights to dehradun, cabs to haridwar, and hotels near the venue.
i gave aero the dates and the venue in one chat. it sorted the route and the stay. i only had to tell it "not that hotel" once.
invite-only right now, waitlist here: getaero.ai/splash
nothing makes me feel more emotional than the fact that this will perhaps be my last Diwali at home

you know what ambition looks like?
I didn’t until I met @Tanushprem
this guy lived with a mushroom farmer to understand the lifecycle of mushrooms. all of us knew mushrooms repel water but he turned that inside to build an invisible ink that can stop counterfeiting.
so so glad he was a part of this cohort.
fake cancer drugs that can cause thousands of people their lives, reached 90+ Bengaluru hospitals this year. but who’s stopping the next batch?
meet @Tanushprem he’s building Mushloop, fungi-based ink that stops counterfeiting.
he has -
> built an electric car in 2015, before EVs were a thing in India
> $68000+ raised in grants
> selected as 1 of 75 innovative startups in India
> @iiscbangalore entrepreneur-in-residence
> been selected for Stanford SeedSpark and @nsrcel_iimb

i'm a big fan of creative people.
Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer.
And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety.
Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight.
So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖

This week, we hosted Pramod, the founder of Triam AI , for a finance 101 session at @residencyBLR.
In this workshop, we covered:
> the basics of finance and entity setup
> the kind of entity you should be choosing
> what the legal compliances are related to
> incorporating in India and incorporating in the US
> why bookkeeping and a data room are important while raising
thank you Pramod for spending time with the residents.
been reading about bazaarnow and antler all day.
a few thoughts here -
> priyanshu runs both the big calls and the tiny details himself. that's what obsession actually looks like.
> i don't think obsession can be built from scratch. you either walk in with it or you don't. what you can do is sharpen it a little every day.
> honestly, i was never a fan of the "x factor" thing. felt like a vague word investors use. but the way antler breaks it down actually made sense.
I’ve spoken to hundreds of founders to say that obsession plus distribution is the key to go ahead. that’s exactly when you know if your bet is worth it or not. everything else is just noise.
not every founder is an outlier. but the ones who are, you can tell almost immediately.
OBSESSED OUTLIERS - A New Series
#1 Priyanshu Jain (BazaarNow)
We’re excited to share some new short stories, of founders and ideas we have backed in recent times.
Perhaps the coolest changes happening in Indian commerce aren't in Bangalore or Gurgaon. They are in Mandya or Ramnagara.
Priyanshu, Arjun and Tarithmay are building a new retail channel for millions underserved by modern retail. Just a few months in, @bazaarnow is already scaling towards 15,000 orders a day (apart from raising $9M+)
This is the quick story of how I met Priyanshu in a cafe on a Sunday, and within 15 minutes, knew we had to back him.
Why he scores highly on a framework we call
“A-GOAT-X”
And why we try to keep asking “what if it goes right?”
It’s a good example of how we love backing entirely new concepts pre-product and pre-traction,
how often we invest directly to lead $1M rounds (vs. Residency),
and how quickly we @AntlerIndia like to develop that conviction.
And above all how our process is mostly about the founder’s exceptional insights or spikes.
Something that makes them a truly Obsessed Outlier.
