AgriSpace is evolving, at a rapid pace never matched before. Thanks to AI, We can now build solution which were believed to be impossible to have in the rural community. Thank you Avinash Raghava and AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) for bringing the light on what the founders of KissanAI has been doing over the years. #agritech #AI

#Remina #MemoryCare #SeniorLiving #DementiaCare #HealthcareInnovation #FounderLedSales #StartupJourney #SaaSBoomi #Nashville #Oklahoma #Dallas Everyone told us the GTM plan for the US was straightforward. Book meetings. Attend the conference. Stand at the booth. Wait for traffic. Follow up. So we did exactly that. We came to Nashville with Remina Care — demos ready, booth ready, stories ready. And then… we tried something completely different. We rented a car. Loaded it with donuts and cookies. And started driving across Nashville visiting Memory Care and Assisted Living communities—many with no appointments. No pitch decks. No conference hall. No formal sales setup. Just one message: “We came to thank your staff for the incredible work they do every day… and to share what we’re building with Remina.” And something amazing happened. Doors opened. Conversations became real. Caregivers shared stories. Leaders spent time with us. And the response was deeper than what we saw inside the booth. This trip reminded me of something important: Sometimes the best GTM doesn’t happen only at events. It happens on the road. At the front desk. Over coffee. Over donuts. Through genuine human conversations. And we carried one more thing with us everywhere: The Dorothy Mitchell Life Book Coat. It became our real conversation starter. Before we spoke about AI or Remina, caregivers were already asking about the photos, stories, and memories on the coat. That’s exactly what Remina stands for: Memory opens conversations. Stories build connection. Care becomes personal. A special thank you to two people who pushed me into this journey. Suresh Sambandam kept telling me: “I know you can build the product. I want you to build the GTM. Go to the US. Get on the roads.” And Sudheer Bandaru, whom I met during AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) Annual meet in Chennai this March, he simply said: “Book the tickets to the US. You’ll figure it out by yourself.” Both were right. What started as a conference trip became something much bigger. A founder-led GTM experiment. Unscripted. Human-first. Built on gratitude, conversations, and listening. We’re calling it: Donut Run GTM 🍩🚗 To every Memory Care and Assisted Living team in Nashville who welcomed us—thank you for opening your doors, sharing your stories, and for the incredible work you do every day for residents and families. Thank you, Nashville. ❤️ You were unforgettable. Hello, Oklahoma. 🍩🚗 The Donut Run continues… Next stop after that: Dallas. With Suneetha Chowdary & Heath Thomas

Spent 3 hours next to a founder running a $500M+ ARR bootstrapped company back in March. That was Varun Vairavan, co-founder and CTO of HighLevel. I met him at AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi). What stayed with me wasn't just the scale. It was how present he was. He carried zero ego. He answered every question I threw at him with a patience and warmth that has stayed with me. Should I raise or stay bootstrapped? How do you stay lean at scale? How do you decide what to build next? Every question got a real answer. One thing from that conversation keeps coming back to me, two months later. Varun mentioned a new role HighLevel is rolling out. They call it the "Full-Stack AI Builder." One person owns one feature end-to-end. Ideation. Build. Production. Monitoring. Iteration. That is Claude-Maxxing as a job description. Which loops back to what I have been figuring out the last few weeks. I used to tell myself: "I'm a non-technical founder, I can't build with Claude." Friends who are insane Claude-maxers (they talk to Claude more than humans) kept pushing back. "Just tell Claude what you want. Sit for 6 hours. Screenshot the errors. You'll have something built." I tried it. They were right. Now I am Claude-maxing with my team. Four laptops on a bed. One room. Hours at a stretch. Still scratching the surface. Still figuring out if this brute-force approach holds up at production grade. But it is letting me imagine things I thought needed a 20-person engineering team. What Varun and HighLevel pulled off, a $500M+ ARR company built bootstrapped, is the kind of ambition I want to grow into. For my generation of founders, the tools have changed. Claude-maxing. Lean teams. Agentic operations. Maybe this is how we get to where HighLevel is. Still figuring it out. Thank you Varun, for being so generous with your time. I don't know if you will remember me, but that conversation shifted how I am thinking about building MaximusLabs AI. Thank you AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi), for creating a room where founders like me get to stand next to founders like Varun Vairavan. If you are Claude-maxing as a non-technical founder, what is clicking for you? #ClaudeMaxing #MaximusLabs #GEO #AEO #SEO

One of the unexpected benefits of working closely with founders is occasionally being invited into conversations where the real challenges are discussed openly—not on stage, not on LinkedIn, but founder-to-founder. Last weekend, I joined a closed-door founder roundtable hosted by AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi), where Sachin Bhatia and Ankit Durga shared hard-earned lessons from building and scaling enterprise businesses. Ever grateful to Ankit for getting me into the room! The stated goal was cracking enterprise sales: • Winning the first customers • Building repeatability • Scaling enterprise GTM • Expanding into new markets And the room was filled with founders building across AI, cybersecurity, healthcare, logistics, ESG, compliance, enterprise software and more. Different products | Different markets | Different stages of growth. Yet many were asking remarkably similar questions: • How do we build a predictable pipeline? • How do we earn trust faster? • How do we shorten enterprise sales cycles? • How do we stop relying on founder relationships and referrals? And that's where my biggest takeaway from the roundtable emerged. While most of these "sounded" like sales problems, many..truly weren't. Over the last few years, through my work with founders and leaders, I've seen the same pattern repeat itself. The questions keep changing. But the underlying challenge rarely does. Founders often look for better campaigns, more content, or new channels. What they're usually missing is clarity. • Clear positioning • Focused ICPs • Consistent narratives • Internal alignment • Founder conviction Predictable growth rarely comes from better campaigns. It comes from the invisible systems underneath them. The companies that grow predictably are often the ones that remove confusion before they add activity. A big thank you to Ankit, Sachin, and every founder who contributed openly to the discussion. And thank you AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) - The best founder rooms don't just share answers. They reveal where the real problem actually lives. This was definitely one of those rooms! Founders - If growth is happening but feels fragile, or your sales effort feels larger than the results it produces, there may be a positioning, narrative, or alignment issue hiding underneath. At CatalystCo_India, we've created a Brand Strategy Audit & Discovery Form for those of you who want to explore those questions more deeply. It takes 7–10 minutes to complete and helps us make any subsequent conversation far more useful.

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 — 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗢𝗽𝘀 + 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿, founding team, Chennai. And yes — we recently won 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 & 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 at AIBooMi Awards 2026. Venkatesh Radhakrishnan shared the story here: https://lnkd.in/gCCZRAmQ But as he put it — the team didn't even have time to celebrate. Too busy shipping. Now we need people who want to join a team like that. You'll be deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting observability infrastructure at serious enterprise scale — the kind of scale where a misconfigured pipeline means millions of lost log events. This is not a "monitor dashboards and escalate tickets" role. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱: → 1–4 years of DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure experience → Hands-on with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Linux, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) → Real exposure to observability tools — Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, CloudWatch, or similar → Understanding of log management, APM, infrastructure monitoring, and networking fundamentals → Someone who takes ownership, not instructions 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: • OpenTelemetry Collector setup and pipelines • eBPF-based monitoring or systems-level tooling • ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, or time-series databases • Alerting and incident management (PagerDuty, OpsGenie) • Open source contributions 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻: • You take ownership. If something is broken at 2 AM, you fix it. You don't wait for Monday. • You're ambitious. You want to build something that matters, not just keep dashboards green. • You handle pressure well. When a customer's pipeline breaks, you don't panic — you debug. • You're curious. You read RFCs, explore new tools, and don't stop at "it works." 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁: → Salary well above market standards + meaningful ESOPs → Direct exposure to global enterprise customers at massive scale → Work directly with the founders — no layers, no politics → A founding team seat in an award-winning company that's just getting started → More production-scale observability experience in 6 months than 3 years anywhere else 📍 Chennai — on-site, 5 days a week 🚀 1–4 years experience 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Check the link in comments. Tag someone who'd be great for this. The right person for this role will get more real-world observability experience here than years at a services company. #Hiring #DevOps #Observability #SRE #Kubernetes #Prometheus #Grafana #OpenTelemetry #Datadog #ChennaiJobs #StartupHiring #KubeSense #CloudNative #HiringNow #eBPF #LogManagement #APM #FoundingTeam #ESOPs #AIBooMi #StartupOfTheYear #BuildInPublic #BhartBuilt #BharatOwned

We won 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 & 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 at AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) 𝗔𝗜𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗠𝗶 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. And the team didn't even have time to celebrate. Because we were too busy shipping for our customers. That's who we are. Trophies sit on the shelf. Customer wins sit in production. Our team knows which one matters more. The truth is — we win awards every day. Every Slack message from a customer saying "this just works." Every migration from Datadog that finishes ahead of schedule. Every 2 AM incident where our platform helps an SRE find root cause in minutes instead of hours. Those are the real trophies. But I won't pretend — seeing "KubeSense" engraved on this one felt special. It's validation that a small, relentless team from Chennai can build something that competes with the biggest names in observability. And we're not done. Not even close. Thank you to the team. Thank you to our customers who bet on us early. The best is ahead. ameer ibrahim | Aravindh N | Bhaskar Ganji | Guru prasad G | Karthik Pandiyarajan | Krishna Garg | Surya Ashish | Rajeev Kumar | Rohini K P | Saurabh Kaveri | Utkarsh Sathe #KubeSense #AIBooMi #StartupOfTheYear #DevTools #Observability #CloudNative #ChennaiStartup #BuildInPublic #StartupLife #eBPF #OpenTelemetry #SaaS #AgentSRE #Bharatbuilt #Bharatowned

Every time I come to SF, I leave with a notebook full of ideas, questions, energy, and perspective. This trip was no different. 24 founder meetings. A 3-day bootcamp with 67 founders. Late-night Mafia games with friends. Conversations on AI, community, hardware, vertical SaaS, and what the next decade could look like. But a few moments stayed with me more deeply than the rest. Meeting Kanwal Rekhi was one of them. There was a simple thought he shared: “Success is one-third startup, one-third family, and one-third health. You can only call yourself truly successful if you’ve balanced all three.” That line hit me hard. Especially in a world where many of us are busy building companies while unintentionally neglecting ourselves and the people we love. ⚡ Realisation #1: It feels like Day Zero for everyone again. For the longest time, I assumed we were the only ones figuring things out in real time. But after speaking to enough founders and even larger companies, I realised something comforting: Nobody truly knows where the world is headed. AI is rewriting assumptions faster than institutions can react to them. ⚡ Realisation #2: The real game now is simple. Disrupt yourself before someone else does. Some conversations opened entirely new doors in my mind. Avinash Harsh shared fascinating insights on hardware and how communities for hardware software companies could emerge. Founders spoke passionately about how AI is collapsing time-to-scale in ways we haven’t fully understood yet. ⚡ Realisation #3: Indian founders need to get to the point quicker. Be clear in the ask. Too many early-stage founders spend too much time circling around context before arriving at the actual problem or request. Clarity is kindness. Especially in a world moving this fast. Some of the happiest moments from the trip were deeply personal. Meeting Tarun Kumar Davuluri and his better half Padmini after a long time. Having lunch cooked by her. Sitting in their beautiful green backyard and quietly appreciating how life evolves for good people. Celebrating Arvind Parthiban’s birthday with friends. Meeting Girish again after a while. Hosting a virtual roundtable from the US to India with Swapnil on becoming AI-native. Signing up new volunteers for Caravan '26, SGX, and our US initiatives. And somewhere in between all of this, I also met a 3-year-old kid: a founder friend’s son. I had seen him briefly on a video call earlier. Full of energy, curiosity, and personality. Before leaving back, I specifically stopped by just to meet him. Didn’t want to miss meeting that little force of nature. Sometimes, the most memorable people you meet on a trip aren’t always in the boardrooms or founder circles. And most importantly, hearing so many people genuinely believe in what we are trying to build with AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi). Community building is exhausting work sometimes. But trips like these remind me why we do it. Back home soon. Back to building.

I've been building something in silence for months. Today, I'm ready to talk about it. My name is Amal Deny Princeton J L and I just launched ATONV, India's Universal AI Business Platform. Here's the honest story: I watched businesses in Tamil Nadu lose crores every month — not because their product was bad, but because their follow-up was slow. A lead comes in at 9pm. Nobody responds until 9am. By then, the competitor already closed them. So I built the fix. ATONV does 5 things automatically: → Routes every customer query to the best AI engine (Claude, GPT, Groq, or Perplexity) in under 100ms → Sends a WhatsApp message with brochure + details in under 2 minutes → Makes an AI voice call in Tamil or English — human-sounding, not robotic → Qualifies and scores the lead before any human touches it → Feeds hot leads directly to your telecaller team The result for your clients: 1,000 leads → 20–50 sales → ₹10–25 crore monthly revenue We serve Real Estate, Healthcare, Legal, Finance, Education and 8 more industries.

Amazing to spend an afternoon at OpenAI's office with AIBoomi with 60+ AI founders. Joined a panel on product-market fit in the AI era with Aparna Dhinakaran (Arize AI) and Srinivas Njay (interface.ai), moderated by Prashant M.. (OpenAI). Something I’ve been thinking about: AI is the first time we're doing truly technology-led product market fit since the Internet. Not problem-first, not working backwards from a customer pain point. You imagine what could be possible, keep building and iterating on what’s possible with AI, get through a painful chasm of making AI really work — and then you hit a moment that feels like magic. And when that lands, everything changes.

Spent half a day at OpenAI HQ on Tuesday with a group of AI-native founders. One observation keeps coming back to me. Every founder in that room had quietly rebuilt their core product harness at least once in the past year, just to stay aligned with where the models had gone. Not refactored. Not extended. Replaced. Same pattern across very different products. Each team was 12 to 18 months ahead of what their customers were asking for, and that gap was the moat. A few things kept surfacing across the conversations: Dogfooding is the only feedback loop that scales at model speed. By the time you batch user feedback into a planning cycle, two model generations have shipped. The deterministic-code mental model breaks down. You can no longer read the code and predict what will happen. Traces become the source of truth. Conviction has a half-life. Staying on a hypothesis for 18 months while the world reshapes itself around you is not stubbornness. It's the actual work. One 1:1 crystallized it for me. Sitting with a founder building tooling for scientists in a regulated industry, we landed on the same hiring conclusion from completely different starting points. You don't need more engineers in the agent era. You need fewer who understand first principles end-to-end, then delegate to the agents. Same answer, different domains. That's what these rooms produce. For what we build at AvanSaber, this lands close to home. #TailTest exists because we kept hitting this same wall in our own code: once your AI assistant ships more than you can manually verify, the only path is to make verification automatic. Same shape of problem, applied to ourselves. Grateful to the OpenAI for Startups team Corey Ching Marc Manara and AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) team Avinash Raghava for the invite and the room.

Founder & CEO @ ATONV | Building India's Universal AI Business Platform | WhatsApp Automation + AI Voice + CRM + LLM Router | Pre-Seed | 12 Industries ATONV — India's first Universal AI Automation Platform.

A strong week of momentum at Wizerr AI — product velocity, customer expansion, and thoughtful conversations on where AI-native systems are headed. Grateful to the OpenAI for Startups team and AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) for bringing together this incredible discussion for AI-native builders.

I met Karthik Chidambaram for the first time at the SaaSBoomi Annual last year near the keynote stage. Since then I’ve followed his updates and loved some of the work he does, particularly his letters written in Tamil (my mother tongue and one of my favourite languages), the content he produces for his business, and the deep relationships he has built with customers As luck would have it, we were in Nashville TN on the same day (music to my ears, IYKYK) I couldn’t let the opportunity to meet him slip. We met at the “beautiful” Gaylord Opryland resort and that’s where I learnt about his fascinating journey across over two decades, building his company through ups and downs It was a conversation without any filter, and one that left me with more lessons, questions and gratitude

AIBoomi Bootcamp '26 | Bay Area ended with one overwhelming feeling: gratitude. 🧡 Over the last three days, more than 60 founders came together to ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, share openly, and build relationships that genuinely felt meaningful. What started as a curated room slowly turned into something far more personal. Conversations around AI-native products, GTM, fundraising, agents, workflows, moats, and the future of software kept flowing from sessions into side huddles, dinners, whiteboards, and walks back to parking lots. And somewhere along the way, the room stopped trying to impress each other. People just started being honest. That, more than anything else, is what we’ll carry forward from this bootcamp. A huge thank you to every founder, speaker, partner, volunteer, and friend who helped shape these three days into what they became. Until next time. 🙌 P.S. - We also ended Day 3 by cutting a birthday cake for Arvind Parthiban. As we're a community that always celebrates its people, it felt like a small reminder that some things never change. And we’re very glad they don’t. :) #MayInTheBay #Startups #AI

Two kinds of startup builders are emerging. 💪 Those who learnt the craft before AI arrived and are now using it to move faster. 🦾 Those building intensely in a world where AI was already part of the foundation. Different journeys. Different instincts. Different advantages. AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) Bootcamp '26 | Hyderabad is built for the best of both worlds. Why? Because the most interesting founders today aren't choosing sides. They're borrowing from both. No AI tourism here. Just ambitious builders learning from each other and sharpening their edge.

The first prototype for #Anyaa was built at AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) #StartupWeekend hackathon. They are hosting another one next month. If you are sitting on a idea or just want to build something in 24 hours, I highly recommend participating!

NOBODY tells you this when you start building communities: The hardest part is not getting people into the room. It’s making them feel like they belong there. When we started Vertical Velocity at AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi), we thought we were building a cross-border immersion program for AI founders. What we actually built was belief and belonging. 💙 This blog is my attempt at capturing what Cohort 1 really felt like from the inside — the uncertainty, the chaos, the “we’ll figure it out” moments, the founders who trusted us before we had all the answers, and the community that showed up with unbelievable generosity. Somewhere between Stanford sessions, Thai food, hikes, coffee runs, and brutally honest founder conversations, 12 startups stopped being strangers and became a support system for each other. That’s the part I’ll remember most! Not just the access or insights. But the feeling that nobody was building alone anymore. Very grateful to everyone who helped make this happen. Especially the founders who believed in us before we had earned it. Here’s to you, friends 🚀 Wrote about the journey here: https://lnkd.in/gp9Kc6U2 #AIBoomi #VerticalVelocity #crossborder #healthcareAI

Most brands are still buying attention. The smart ones are engineering it. A Bangalore SaaS company paused ₹48L worth of ads and invested it into one anamorphic 3D activation at SaaSBoomi. Result? • 1.8M+ organic impressions • Massive inbound lift • Pipeline impact equivalent to ₹1.6Cr in paid ads One activation. Months of results. That is the power of engineered attention. At Nova Design Labs, we create immersive experiences designed for PR, social amplification, and long-term brand recall. #ExperientialMarketing #novadesignlabs #Anamorphic3D #BrandExperience #B2BMarketing #OOHAdvertising #ImmersiveExperience
