Angel Investor - Scenes

I'm an engineer turned marketer, now a founder. 

I've worked at Uber and Klook, focusing on marketing and growth. 

At Uber, I launched new cities, B2B products, managed rider discounts for millions, and handled strategy for Uber Latam. Was laid off due to a org restructure ( super long story )

At Klook, I led the India and Middle East business, scaling it from $6M to $25M+ USD in just a year before the pandemic led to my second layoff.

After two layoffs,I founded GrowthSchool, an ed-tech startup, in September 2021. 

We've raised $5M from investors like Sequoia and Owl Ventures, helped over a million learners since then from 30 countries, and have a team of 120+ in Bangalore, India.

Fun fact : GrowthSchool was selected as LinkedIn Top Startup twice( 2022 & 2023 )

One thing that seperated Humans from AI so far was the ability to think 🧠

Well OpenAI just built an AI which can think and reason way better than a average human.

And this changes everything

the new model is called o1

And where it stands out is, 

Instead of just answering question,

Everytime something is asked from it, it thinks

Breaks the question down into steps and then answers it

Just like how humans do. 

But here is the kicker , its way better than most of the humans at it.

The o1 model performs complex tasks with a finesse we've never seen before. 

For example, 

it reached the 89% in coding competitions, compared to just 13% by its predecessor, GPT-4o

This makes o1 perfect for solving complex problems in science, coding, and math.

This launch isn't just a step forward—it's a leap towards AGI

And a very important step towards agentic workflows using AI which will replace a millions of jobs.

Btw you can play with it today if you have chatgpt paid account. 

What are your thoughts?

How far do you think we are from AGI?

Swiggy early employees to make over 2,240 Cr! 🤯

Here is how👇

Swiggy will hit the public market in one of India's most anticipated IPOs.

But here's what most people don't realize… this IPO will turn many top execs into crorepatis!

Sriharsha Majety, Swiggy’s CEO, just scored a massive payday—a staggering $200 million in stock options.

😲 He already owns 6.23% of the company and is all set to increase it by up to 2.5%. Talk about a major win! 🏆

And it’s not just him.

Key figures like Nandan Reddy (co-founder), Phani Kishan, Rahul Bothra, Madhusudhan Rao, and Rohit Kapoor are also cashing in, with millions in ESOPs to their names.

💼 What's driving this?

Swiggy is gearing up for a $1.25 billion IPO, and aligning the top team’s fortunes with the company’s future growth is a smart move.

But that's not all… 👀

This is part of a bigger trend among Indian tech startups. Zomato did it, now Swiggy, and you can bet others are watching closely.

In a market that's as dynamic and competitive as food delivery, securing and motivating the leadership is crucial to success.

It’s not just about what Swiggy is doing; it’s about who is driving that success!
Are we witnessing the birth of India’s next tech giant? 

Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure:
The Crorepati club is getting a lot bigger this year. 💵💥

This is the kind of wealth that is possible when you work for startups!

Would you invest in Swiggy's IPO? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Our Mixpanel bills are inching close to $30k per year ( 25L INR + )

Their pricing isn't for consumer tech companies with many free users and def doesn't work for Indian ARPUs

Has anyone else found better tools or stacks that are way more affordable and if not better?

DM or Comments would do.

Crazy to think it all started with a R199 domain! 💭
