Yesterday, I held a 4 minute plank (smashed my PR), completed 45 pushups (also my PR) in one go but sadly failed to get a single shot into the hoop 🥲 I had a wonderful time at the Peakst8 Festival in BLR - I was there SUPER early with my classmate Aryaman to see our friend Anvita host the morning Yoga! Like any other VC, after enjoying for precisely one hour, I had to maximize shareholder value for one hour Sharing a few interesting companies I met ⤵️

In August 2023, Shubh left Stable Money to start his own startup - he got off to a flying start by getting an early cheque from EF India, finding his co-founder Saksham and lining up their first few customers. Exactly a year later - tragedy struck: Shubh was diagnosed with Gullain Bairre Syndrome - a rare neuroglial condition which impacts 1 in 1 Lakh individuals. In a matter of days, Shubh condition deteriorated significantly - he went from the gym rat I first met to someone who couldn’t even move his limbs!

In February 2026, I almost bought the Indian IT Index - this decision would have cost me ₹5L or more Wealth channel RMs were funneling news & fund managers selling the Indian IT recovery story From a private markets lens - I could see a K shape in our portfolio companies - AI adopters were pulling ahead of the AI laggards I believed something similar would happen in public markets too - landslide has continued Indian IT had a K-shaped response to AI⤵️

Every time you travel in a Shoffr, your driver has a co-pilot - an AI-powered dashcam from Cautio Was he on the phone? Was he on time? Did he show signs of fatigue? Did he take the car for a personal ride? Cautio helps fleet operators answer these questions not with anecdotes, but with video evidence and AI-led driver behavior monitoring. Cautio is not an “AI wrapper”:

I haven’t made a single CRM entry this year. But, my AI agent has created & edited entries for: - 500 companies screened - 60 of which were deeply evaluated - 4 or 5 of which we invested into Even as recently as 14 months ago, I would do this grunt work by hand therefore I know exactly how long & painful these tasks can be: - 10 mins for a rich “screening” CRM entry - 25-30 mins for a rich “deep eval” CRM entry The time saving is 100+ hours of high quality effort per quarter This is the 2nd quarter in a row where this level of ROI has been extracted - it effectively eliminates the need for a human Analyst. Let me tell you a little bit about this journey:

My Podcast Agent now saves me ~1 hour per week I subscribe to 20 podcast shows - which translates to ~5 hours per day. However, I only have time to listen to ~2 hours worth of material (even on 1.5x while I’m at the gym or doing other time pass) Previously, for episodes I couldn’t listen to - I would spend ~10 mins (on average) to find the podcast transcript online (YT or otherwise), then upload the PDF into ChatGPT & get the summary output in my desired format. But now, without writing a line of code, built using OpenClaw & a Notion integration through Composio, my Podcast Agent has automated all of this:

25 mins on Lovable — built a LP dashboard for a VC fund — this experience took me back in time to 5 years ago: A much worse prototype on Glide & Google Sheets took me ~48 hours — it was a massively painful experience to build.

AI saves me 150+ hours per year for my long form writing - 2026 was the breakthrough year: I’ve written over 500 long form pieces over the past 3 years - in the pre-AI era, each piece would take 2 hours. In 2026 - using Notion AI, Wispr Flow, ChatGPT & a few other tools - the average drafting time is down to 30-45 minutes. Here’s my Writing 3.0 framework ⤵️

The most underrated feature of ChatGPT is Scheduled Tasks In any chat window, you can ask ChatGPT to perform a scheduled search - the frequency & research prompt are fully customizable. This feature is a MUCH more refined version of setting up news alerts on Google News or any other RSS feed. I have a couple of scheduled tasks for sectors which I find most interesting (e.g. Defense, Semiconductors, Data Centers & SpaceTech in India). The prompt template I use is linked below ⤵️

There is a $25bn opportunity hiding in plain sight — You’ve come across this on multiple occasions (your last flight booking on MMT, your last mobile purchase from Amazon, your last bike or car purchase) Some financial products ONLY make sense at the point of commerce.
