What does Consumer + AI look like for India? @ishaanpreet and I have been chewing on this for months. Now weโre opening it up with some of the best consumer founders in the country.
Building in consumer or AI? Come through. RSVP below.

Some things I believe
- consumer tech (sorry, AI) is back
- consumer companies in India will be larger than B2B/deep-tech ones (they will be large too dw)
- the entire consumer stack will get remade in the next 5 years
- this'll be across the board -> like technology means the top 0.1% and the average user have the same phone and the same coca cola, they'll soon have the same services, knowledge and leverage -> so better and more shopping, investing, learning and healthcare for everyone
Now's the time to build for consumer, so we're hosting something fun with a bunch of founders and operators building at the edge Come hang out and debate what the future looks like next week

BITS @bitspilaniindia @BITSPilaniGoa will be the most prolific breeding ground for start-ups in India next 10 years.
As a college, BITS is more start-up pilled than any other college in India.
Stunning to see the rise of BITS as a force of entrepreneurship.
Wondering if Instagram is Netflixโs biggest competitor at this point.
Didnโt open Netflix once. Still somehow watched the entire Musafir Cafe thanks to Reels. ๐ฃ

People know where to sell second-hand. That's never been the problem.
The problem is what happens after you list.
The calls start. Same questions, back to back - price kam karo, original box hai, exchange hoga? Half of them spam. You get tired. You stop responding. The product sits.
And it's not entirely the buyer's fault either. The listing gave them nothing - no context, no trust, no reason to believe you.
We're running an experiment to fix this, It's calledย Book a Listing.
You book a slot, hop on a video call with us, and we help you build your listing live - what to say, how to show the product, what buyers need to know upfront. A listing good enough that most questions answer themselves before anyone picks up the phone.
No spam. More trust. Faster Turnaround .
It's day one. We're learning consumer behaviour as we go - and we need real sellers to do that.

๐จ HIRING Lightspeed Content Lead ๐จ - ok peeps, who are the most cracked, highest quality, globally plugged in content folks in India? RT, QT, share for karma coz we are hiring! Very much a builder role. Part IC, part operator. Google form in first comment but here's what you'll own:
- The system: workflows, calendar, freelancer/agency bench, briefing, QC, distribution.
- โ Flagship writing & editing (~a third of your time): incl. shaping investor, operator & founders' thinking into publishable work.
- โ Distribution + measurement: pieces are yours from idea to impact.
- โ Building IPs: build top 1%ile content IPs in the global venture space.
You're a fit if you bring the rare intersection of:
- Orchestration: you build infra, not one-off pieces. We need content engine builders.
- Taste: iykyk, you own this e2e.
- Business + AI fluency: startups & venture; you can hold your own discussing evals, RAG and agentic harnesses.
- Intellectual horsepower: analytical, data-comfortable, AI-native; deep on AI + data centers one week, chips or drones the next, next gen content & consumer apps the week after.
Not this role: content marketing, SEO, PR, hand-me-down execution, or a pure solo writing gig.
7โ10 yrs ยท full-time. Delhi NCR / Bangalore, no remote. Reports to Head of Marketing.
Been seeing something weird with Instants.
People who hadnโt posted stories in months are suddenly posting 3-4 things a day (also, great choice of launch day to be friday :P)
Maybe the consumer -> creator problem was never about creativity.
The UX tax on self-expression was just too expensive.
Might switch out of iOS for this
