On 2026‑10‑16 I posted on X about the upcoming Residency Bangalore demo day scheduled for 22 Oct 2026. The event will feature eight resident teams across biotech, consumer tech, hardware, physical AI and more, with limited seats to keep the experience exclusive. Partners Lightspeed India and IDFC FIRST Bank will provide venture backing and banking services, respectively. Notable achievements highlighted include one team that has already generated $2M+ in sales, another working on autonomous aircraft, and a third led by a founder of a previous million‑dollar company now earning $200k+. The demo day aims for a multi‑billion‑dollar outcome across the portfolio.
