Ashwin Ramasamy

I’ve written about Ashwin Ramasamy (@Ashwinizer) and Surendran Balachandran before. They read as: Ashwin can’t switch off. Surendran misses nothing. That is exactly the combination we want in a GTM room. A while ago, I asked Ashwin to help curate a basic session for founders setting up in the US. He spent three weeks studying the nuances and edge cases, then rated the final session 3/10 because he still thought it was too basic. That intensity has followed him through building and selling ContractIQ and PipeCandy, and now into Moative, where he works hands-on with mid-market companies navigating AI transformation. In Chennai, Ashwin will take on the question every early AI company eventually faces: Where is the AI buyer, and what are you willing to do before a scalable GTM motion exists? Suren is a different kind of force. In the early meetings, he can sit quietly, take notes, and make you wonder what he is thinking. Then the work begins, and you realise he has already spotted every loose thread in the room. He has spent more than eight years at Atlan, is now Vice President, AI-Led Growth, and is currently rebuilding Atlan’s marketing around AI through cross-functional pods and a shared Marketing OS. His Chennai session goes after the other half of the GTM problem: When everyone is producing more noise, how do you become the signal your buyer actually finds? One will help you find the AI buyer. The other will help the AI buyer find you. Both are joining Ashwini Asokan (@LadyAshBorg) and Anand Chandrasekaran (@SirBlueBorg) at @AIBoomi Bootcamp '26 | Chennai, where only 30 AI-first startups will spend two residential days working on the decisions that sit beyond the prototype. They are not coming to deliver polished GTM sermons and leave. They are coming to put real GTM motions, assumptions, and founder problems on the table. 20 startup slots are already taken. Only 10 remain. If the product works but the path to the buyer still feels fuzzy, I would not sit this one out. 🔥 luma.com/l7scpoqe Applications close on 10 August.
