It’s sorta funny how people are asking accountability from a private company run by the OG @svembu - but no one asks (with the same rigor) from our government on why we have shit infra, where our tax money is wasted, why is there so much corruption, rapists being garlanded etc. easy target?

From our early SGx sessions on product and growth to $10M raised - so good to see how far Clueso has come. Relentless execution and focus! Loved working with this team & love the product. Huge fan & congratulations to the whole crew - keep building!
We’ve raised a $10M Series A to automate video creation for every company. 1,000+ organizations like Atlassian, GitLab, Samsara, Legrand, and Zendesk use @clueso to automate their videos for marketing, customer education, and employee training. The struggle of video creation in companies is so real, that Netflix made a documentary about it

Ladies and gentleman this is how the biggest leader of opposition is being treated in this country. This is what we have come down to. Mark my words, the regime is going to pay for this. And soon.

Young folks, if you needed “yet” another reason to move out of India!

There is a huge difference between India and China in corruption Both nations have corruption but 🇨🇳 In China the Corrupt man is an enemy to the system 🇮🇳 In India the HONEST MAN is an enemy to the system The Result In China - Corruption means Life Imprisonment or Death and disgrace for your family In India - Corruption means you become an MP, MLA or Minister and your family becomes rich for the next 20 generations!!!

This!
Today my daughter’s school bus took 2 hours to travel just 2 km in Varthur/Gunjur road. For those 2 hours, I sat there as a parent feeling completely helpless. I work hard. My wife and I pay lakhs in taxes every month. We took a huge home loan mainly so we could live close to our daughter’s school and give her a safer, easier childhood. And yet, this is what “2 km from school” means here. In the last year alone, we have seen a school bus topple, a woman suffer serious injuries after a fall, a biker almost lost his life after falling because of a pothole, and many more incidents that never become headlines. Every day, ordinary people here tweet, email, complain, follow up and plead with authorities. We are not activists. We are not fighting for a political party. We are parents, employees, families and taxpayers asking for one basic thing: Please give our children a safe road to come home on. Today, more than the traffic, what broke me was the feeling that despite doing everything a responsible citizen is supposed to do, I had absolutely no power to protect my own child. If anyone knows how ordinary citizens of Varthur/Gunjur can reach someone with the authority to actually intervene, please help us. @krishnabgowda @DKShivakumar @MALimbavali @ArvindLBJP @GBA_office @BECCUPDATES @ChristinMP_ @RamSNarayan @GunjurCharan @RisingVarthur @BDAOfficialGok #varthurisbleeding

It is getting worse by the day!
2+ hours. Every single day. That's how long kids from Whitefield spend on Varthur Road for a 5km commute. My own daughter is stuck right now as I post this. Whitefield deserves better than this. @blrcitytraffic @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda @PCMohanMP @MALimbavali #Varthur

If you are the 1% skills wise in indie, leave India. Don’t listen to rotund pot bellied bald old uncles trying to convince your otherwise.

So Modi wants common citizens to "follow their duties" and cut down on petrol-diesel consumption. Well then Modi should personally ensure > Reduction in MP-MLA convoys' size by 80% > Total ban on chartered flights of all politicians > Total ban on foreign trips of all politicians > No mega political meetings and rallies > No mega swearing-in gatherings > No car or bike rallies for parties > No foreign visits for himself > All rules to apply to RSS also Of course, this won't happen. But we have to follow 'kartavya' because this is 'Amrut Kaal' and we are all subjects of the regime, even as the regime gorges on fruits of our taxes.

This resonates hard! We’re screwed as a nation!
India is on a new quest. And it feels like progress. The industrialist who once built something real, who actually understood risk and reward, has figured out a simpler way to exist. And grow. Bow early, smile at the right rallies, donate handsomely, show up when called, cheer for the visionary and your empire stays intact. Loans get cleared. Defaults are forgiven and forgotten. Rivals develop strange problems. It costs nothing except a small tradeoff of intelligence. The bureaucrat who once believed that merit was the only ladder has found a much faster one. You don't need to perform. You don't need to deliver. You take the fast elevator. Be available, aligned, and enthusiastic about the right things at the right time. For the right wing. The posting comes. The seniority follows. Hardly anyone makes a noise. All good. The young man who was promised jobs and received nothing has found that there is work after all. Break something for the right people and there will be no case against you. Do it with enough noise and there might even be a future in it. A party ticket - who knows. Vandalism has indeed become a career option for a generation that was given no other. The professor who spent a lifetime building arguments has learned that silence is the safer course. No controversy means no phone calls at night, no transfer orders, no sudden reviews of funding. The institution breathes easier. So does the pension and post retirement placements. The judge has learned that certain verdicts age better than others. Retirement is long and post retirement life can be very comfortable if you were quietly useful to the right people at the right moments. Nothing dramatic. Just a lean here, a delay there, a particular reading of a particular clause, a few biased verdicts. Everyone is running the same calculation. How much intelligence can I surrender and what exactly do I get for it. And the answer keeps coming back favourable. So the experiment continues, station by station, person by person, institution by institution. This is not decay in the way we usually mean it. Decay suggests something unintended, beyond control. This is more deliberate than that. Everyone chose this. Everyone is still choosing it every single morning. India is not falling. India is on a very specific journey, one where the destination is absolute idiocy and the remarkable thing is how many rewards there are along the way. At every stop someone gets something. A contract, a posting, a verdict, a tenure, a ticket, a bail, an RS seat, a possibility to enter the washing machine. And so nobody gets off. The journey continues. And the distance from intelligence keeps growing, and it feels, to most people who are watching from the sidelines, like progress.

Looking forward to this session!
We've helped 2,000+ AI products set up pricing at @dodopayments The #1 thing that separates the ones that scale from the ones that stall? Pricing. Not product. Not distribution. It's actually Pricing Market Fit. And the tricky part? There's no one-size-fits-all model. Usage-based works for some. Credits work for others. Outcome-based sounds great until you try to define "outcome." Most teams end up with a basic pricing model and iterate from there. I'm breaking down the practical frameworks for all of this at @saasboomi's @AIBoomi Annual '26. Speaking from experience helping 2,000+ AI products from across the globe figure out their pricing-market fit. Expect tons of pricing breakdowns in the session, no theory, just what's actually working. If you're building an AI product and pricing still feels fuzzy, this one's for you. Thanks @pallavn, @Rahul_J_Mathur, and @ayushagarwal for helping me on this session!

Lol!
“bhai, my entire workflow is automated. 14 agents working 24x7” “achha. but aren't you unemployed, what workflow are you automating?” “you’re missing it completely. solo founders are becoming full companies. leverage is insane right now.” “nice. what are you building?” “i’ve got openclaw running locally. multi agent chains. auto research. self correcting prompts. i just supervise.” “supervise what?” “the system bro.” “doing what?” “optimising workflows.” “for which product?” “arre yaar why are you stuck on product? this is about positioning. when intelligence becomes free, only idea guys survive.” “so what idea are you executing?” “execution is evolving. you won’t get it if you don’t study exponentials.” “…bhai.” “haan?” “what are you building?” “i’m setting up autonomous loops that improve themselves.” “to solve?” “general capability.” “for whom?” “…for now just testing.” “so nothing?” “bro once agi drops in like 2 years, i’ll be ahead of everyone.” “ahead with what?” “skill.” “skill to build what?” “…”
