A bus operator in a Tier 2 city couldn't buy a laptop on EMI for his daughter. A small overdue on an old loan he didn't even know about was dragging his credit score down. Oolka's (Oolka) AI agent found it, settled it, and his score recovered within 30 days. He got the laptop. That's what changes when AI moves from advice to action. On the latest episode of Lunchbreak With Lightspeed, Harsha Kumar (Harsha Kumar) sits down with Utkrishta Kumar (UK (Utkrishta Kumar)), Founder & CEO of Oolka, to talk about closing India's credit gap. They get into: > Why India has far fewer super-prime borrowers than the US — and what closes that gap > Why India is a "do it for me" market where DIY fintech fails > What makes consumer AI defensible — and why founders shouldn't lose sleep over horizontal LLMs > UK's thesis: India becomes the world's biggest consumer AI market Full episode link in the comments ⬇️

Congratulations to Sarvam (Sarvam) on the first close of their Series B, and a warm welcome to HCLTech (HCLTech) and Bessemer Venture Partners India (Bessemer India), who join us in this journey with the conviction that has defined Sarvam from day one: that India should build and own its AI stack. In under three years, the team has turned that idea into working infrastructure: → Frontier models trained from scratch in India that hold their own against far larger systems → Speech models transcribing over half a million hours of audio a month in real Indian conditions → Voice agents already live, from banking and insurance to government and defence, reaching Indians at population scale| This is what sovereign AI looks like, and the team is just getting started. Here's Vivek on why sovereign AI matters, and why India can't afford to import its intelligence anymore. Once again, congratulations to Vivek (Vivek Raghavan), Pratyush (Pratyush Kumar), and the team. Hemant Mohapatra
