In late September 2026 I posted a series of threads on X covering Indian tech policy, AI tooling, wealth‑management trends, VC anecdotes, and the emerging space‑tech ecosystem.
Indian corporates think technology acquisition works like some bhandara where they will come in brokering “market access” to India, and global tech / IP owners will fall over themselves to hand them cutting‑edge technology in jet engines, drones, semiconductors and energy storage.
Opus 5.5 is pretty good for videos ngl.
Astra is pretty good for memes.
Every wealth‑management startup in India is solving for the top 1 % and calling it democratisation.
252 million people have linked their accounts to an account aggregator.
UPI performed 22 billion transactions last month.
Canva is reportedly at $4 billion ARR.
Gamma’s revenue is $50M/$100M.
Iztri generates 20x revenue on marketing spend with 85%+ retention.
Pixxel Space raised a $100M Series C led by Temasek and Seraphim Space.
I rejected naive tech‑acquisition JVs because they create trade barriers and stall needed domestic reforms, and I chose to back high‑retention startups like Iztri (20× revenue per marketing spend, 85%+ retention) and space‑tech founders such as Pixxel, whose later $100 M raise validates early support.
