Excited to deepen our partnership with @Aa_Agarwl and the team at @just_snabbit. After leading their initial investment, their pace and quality of execution have reinforced our conviction to continue supporting them in every round since. The company has since rapidly expanded its services across 140+ micro-markets, building a category-defining platform in India. Looking forward to this next chapter!

"Uncle" gets a bad rap. But uncles are your greatest strategic advantage. While you ship, they're in alignment meetings finding budget to "win the category" a year late. They'll spend millions creating awareness for you. Save the uncles. They're your best friends.

Today, I'm excited to announce we raised a $9M seed round to help businesses get leads from AI Search Engines! AI is changing B2B buyer behavior rapidly. Now prospects are researching vendors on AI Search Engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. They're asking millions of questions that the internet has never seen before. All before they ever get on a sales call. This is a huge reset moment. And yet 90% of businesses are completely invisible there. We built @gushwork to solve exactly this problem. An end-to-end solution for businesses to dominate and get leads from AI search For us, it does not end at AI visibility, impressions, or even traffic. It’s all about the outcome - getting real, qualified leads from AI search. Period. And @LightspeedIndia, @SusquehannaVC, @BCapitalGroup, Seaborne Capital, @beenextVC, @sparrowcapvc and @2point2club just bet $9M on us to solve this problem! After months of research & experiments, today, we are releasing our AI Search product for general availability - launched in beta about 90 days back and is growing like crazy already: - Hit $1.5M ARR in 90 days - Growing 80% month-on-month - Driving 1000+ leads/month across customers Welcome to new investors who joined us for the seed- → @SaiAraveti, @KanishkM96 & Bhavani at Susquehanna who’s leading the round Thank you to our early investors who doubled down...You put your trust in us before we had anything at all. → @rahultaneja, @dkhare and @romitme at Lightspeed. → @KaranMohla and Deepanshu at B Capital → Pran and Jay at Seaborne → @yash_sparrow and @am_aakash_goyal at Sparrow → @AnirudhGarg24, @PantSaksham and @aarushishawarma at Beenext And a special mention to @skipiit & @smondal1008 at 2.2 Club for access to their massive network of IIT alumni and their angel participation! Big shoutouts to the ones steering the ship! → @_Adithya_V - my Co-Founder who is the real brain behind everything Gushwork does. → @Punit1108 - our mighty CTO who takes on the hardest engineering problems with a smile on his face. → @swapnilsinha07 - the creative & analytical mind behind the growth engine that Gushwork is building and all the other rockstars who make up the backbone of Gushwork - Rahul, @awwdarsh, Akash, Tushar, Snehith, @thericebowlgirl, Amey, Yash B And an insane force of 10x team members who are taking on some of the hardest problems every day and solving them with zeal. LFG! 🚀 If you want to see how many leads AI search could drive for your business, reply "Gushwork" and we'll send you the link.

@romitme From Claude :) - The tweet has the aesthetic of wisdom but I suspect it’s actually just… nostalgia? The more interesting question isn’t “tools vs. no tools” but “how do we maintain depth and genuine understanding in a world where surface-level knowledge is increasingly cheap?”

Reason #4578 Why Luru can never compete with Dilli - coffee shop chats like this 👇 A: "This was not on my bingo card for 2026" B: "Bingo? Bhai tu tambola khel ke bada hua hai, woh bhi apni mummy ki kitty parties mein. Tambola bola kar"

It’s been 19 days and 20 hrs since I last felt Kate’s warm embrace. She landed 47 minutes ago. The 24 hours of travel no doubt has her rushing to shower. She needs to cleanse herself of a dirtied world incompatible with her sensibilities. The wash doubles as a ritual, preparatory

@anmolm_ @NirantK VCs don’t talk about ideas. We publish them on LinkedIn, usually with the timeliness of sharing a wedding invite after the couple has left for honeymoon.
