    This guy is a legend. He was able to sell a dream to Jio which is really difficult with a large cap like Jio with tons of resources for deep dive. Kudos to you Sir !!

    I stay 1km away from Indiranagar. I'm trying to find a job after being laid off. Never did I know that Indiranagar was beaming with VCs waiting to infuse startups with cash if there was an exciting idea. Hoping to build something of my own in the near future. This world seems exciting.
    Wonderful podcast Varun! Hats off to you! Thank you for introducing me to such an amazing Indian entrepreneur.

    I think $100 maybe a bit misleading. The deal includes 230 crore ($33 million for 87%) to buy out existing backers and an investment of 470 crore ($67 million). Haptik, which was formerly a chatbot platform, had raised just over $12 million from investor.
    He is still working at the company means , he is employed in a $100 Mn company with

    Loved this! As someone who was on the beta list when haptic released and that got me excited by assistants, to see the whole story and wealth of experience shared, really grateful for you to get such amazing people!! My latest research published as a ML Researcher from IISc Blr, was on mutlimodal conversational agents... looking back now, i sense all these ideas started pouring looking from the first time i discovered haptic and its vision! Thankyou again!!

      App is just 5% journey. There is a lot more than just app. Kudos for start, next step would be to see your product market fit, ideally you should have done this earlier. Force people to use it and give feedback’s, ask them to share … reach 1000-5000 customer base and their reviews.
      Reach out to VCs, there are firms who can patch you up with them. Then hire talent to scale it. You would need a business guy who would help you in scaling and taking it from 0 to 1 and beyond, this person is your cofounder.
      Hope you make another unicorn. Best of luck 😊

    Some things are not stacking up…on one hand he celebrates the fact that he graduated from Uni of Illinois and how the uni gave birth to a whole series of innovative cos. And some time later he rubbishes the idea of colleges and educational institutes as just an insurance policy. So, in other words…my experiences were crucial to who I am…and what I built and am building…But, wait…for others they are just doing it for shallow reasons. Really?! dal mean kuch kaala hai. Use paas paisa hai to kya hua?! and perhaps this is the trick…what founders say and what they actually do may or may not match. its called…"storytelling."
