Spent the weekend sponsoring and judging at Y Combinator with MiniMax along with Ryan Lee and Siyuan (Leanna) Ren, and the bar was incredibly high.
150+ top robotics hackers.
22 teams.
2 days.
Fully working robotics projects solving real world problems.
That’s a hard constraint. And people still shipped.
I was consistently blown away by what everyone was able to build in such a short time.
One example: Team Wild Robot using MiniMax M2.7 to generate robot skills on the fly. Not pre-scripted. A ...more

Most founders don’t fail because of lack of funding.
They fail because they build something nobody wants.
I went deep into Y Combinator learnings… and one pattern became brutally clear:
👉 Startups don’t die from competition.
👉 They die from ignorance.
As Paul Graham often emphasizes — the real game is simple, but not easy:
build something people actually want.
Here’s what actually matters 👇
🚀 1. Launch before you’re ready
Perfection is just procrastination in disguise.
Ship fast. Learn ...more

I am attending VibeCon 2026 as one of the accepted creators.
Y Combinator, the firm behind Airbnb and Razorpay, is hosting its very first hackathon in India, and I am glad to be a part of the event.
300 developers, builders, and founders, each handpicked.
Varun Mayya, the Emergent team, and some of the sharpest minds in the Indian startup space are all under one roof at Polaris School of Technology, Bengaluru.

Building NEVARA | Mangrove Restoration & Carbon Verification | 3rd year student at BITM | Majoring in CSE (Data Science)

Someone planted 10,000 mangroves last year.
Or did they?
There’s no way to verify.
That’s not rare.
That’s how climate restoration works today.
PDF reports.
Annual audits.
Zero real proof.
So trust breaks.
Funding slows.
Fraud survives.
At Nevara, we’re fixing this.
We use satellite data + ground signals
to show continuous, verifiable proof of restoration.
Not reports.
Proof.
Then comes the bigger shift:
**Verify → Score → Fund**
A system where verified climate projects

“Someone planted 10,000 mangroves last year.”
Sounds impressive, right?
But here’s the real question
Can you actually verify it?
Today, most climate restoration still runs on:
• PDF reports
• Annual audits
• Delayed updates
Not real-time proof.
And because of that:
Trust breaks.
Funding slows.
Fraud survives.
That’s the reality.
So we started building Nevara.
A system where climate restoration is no longer based on claims—
but continuous, verifiable proof.
Using satellite data + gro ...more

India's e-commerce exports: $5–6B today. Projected: $200–300B.
That's a 40–50x gap. And almost no one is solving it.
We are.
Introducing Ganges an agentic commerce platform that lets the 35M+ Indian diaspora (and the entire world) buy from local Indian marketplaces, without trust issues, the broken payments, insane shipping costs, and endless wait times.

3,000+ people quit building their app this year. Not because the idea was bad. Because the tool wasn't made for them.
I just broke down Floot, a Y Combinator-backed startup that's trying to change that.
Here's what makes it different from Bolt, Lovable, and Replit:
- It's not a developer tool with AI on top
- It built its own framework from scratch, for non-coders
- It catches and fixes errors automatically, before you see them
- Database, backend, hosting, payments, all in one place

One of the key projects I’m building is Global Notes Workspace — an offline-first, highly customizable note-taking platform designed for speed, flexibility, and real productivity. The goal is to empower users with a seamless experience where they can create, organize, and export notes without depending on constant internet access.

Y Combinator showing up in India isn’t expansion.
It’s validation.
YC has funded companies that define entire categories.
Not just startups, defaults.
When YC moves, it’s usually early.
When YC shows up physically, it’s usually because something has already worked.
Think about what YC really is:
It’s not just funding.
It’s:
A playbook for building from 0 → 1
A distribution engine (Demo Day)
A network where founders learn from founders
A filter for “what good looks like” globally
That ecosyst ...more

Y Combinator wasn't on my radar. And now I'm flying into San Francisco this Friday to compete there.
A couple weeks back, I randomly stumbled across the Gemma 4 Voice Agents Hackathon, a 2 day event on April 18 and 19 hosted at YC HQ. Backed by Google DeepMind and Cactus (YC S25), a low latency AI engine built to run models locally on mobile devices and wearables. No plan. I just filled out the application, shot my shot, and got in.
Hacking kicks off at 1pm on the 18th and winners are announce ...more

Y Combinator has partnered with Polaris School of Technology and Emergent to launch the Vibecon Student Track, a hackathon designed to fast-track Indian student talent into the YC ecosystem. The initiative allows top teams to bypass the traditional application process and directly interview with YC partners, marking a significant shift in how early-stage founders access global accelerators.

Meet Harshita Arora.
While most 13-year-olds were figuring out algebra, she was learning to code.
By 15, she'd dropped out of school. Crazy? Her parents thought so too.
But here's what happened next.
At 16 sitting in her Saharanpur home Harshita Arora built a cryptocurrency tracking app that became the second most popular finance app in the US and Canada.
Apple featured it. Someone bought it. She was still a teenager.

I applied for Y Combinator’s Startup School India talk… and you won’t believe what happened next.
A random Instagram scroll.
Just another reel.
Or so I thought.
It said:
“YC is coming to India for the first time.”
I paused.
Read it again.
Still didn’t believe it.
So I did what any curious founder would do.
I went down the rabbit hole.
Researched everything about it.
And on March 19, 2026 - I applied.
I even shared it with my team.
Sent it to fellow startup founders.
