[Mukund Jha @mukundjha]

Y Combinator is bringing Startup School to India. As a YC founder, I know what a room like this can do for an ambitious builder. So, I'm making sure you're there.

The top 5 Vibecon India builders get a direct pass to Startup School, on top of the direct interview for an upcoming @ycombinator batch.

YC has built more billion-dollar companies than any accelerator in the world and now they're at our doorstep. This is where every ambitious builder in India needs to be.

If you can build ambitious ideas, apply at https://t.co/sbAPL6nM2L now.

Here is your opportunity to 10x your chances of landing an interview for YC:

YC is hosting VibeCon India on 16th & 17th April in BLR

300 builders will be shortlisted for this Hackathon & will get to present to an incredible panel which includes YC partners & founders of YC’s top Indian startups like Razorpay, Meesho, Zepto & Emergent

The top builders get a DIRECT fast-track interview for any upcoming YC cohort

This is the first time YC is offering an opportunity to builds in India to change their career arc ⤵️

[Mukund Jha @mukundjha]

Somewhere in India, the next great founder is building their ambitious idea.

It's time to find them.

@ycombinator is bringing Startup School to India. We wanted to create something worthy of it, not another event that looks good on a poster.

Presenting Vibecon India.

In this episode of the @LightconePod, we sat down with @mukundjha and @madhavjha, the founders of @emergentlabs - an AI platform that lets anyone build and ship production-ready software.

In just eight months, users have created more than 7 million apps on Emergent, with the number doubling in just the last 45 days. We discuss how they built one of the most powerful AI coding agents, why they focused on non-technical users and what it's like building for a global audience from India.

[Mukund Jha @mukundjha]

Had a freewheeling conversation on YC's @lightconepod.

Pivoting from automated testing to owning the entire software dev lifecycle, starting from behind in a crowded "vibe coding" space, all the way to building a global product from India.

This episode offers a peek into what we're building @emergentlabs and where we're headed.

[Mukund Jha @mukundjha]

Two internal tools in two days, solving real operational problems. This is exactly the experience we built @emergentlabs for.

If your team isn't building apps and agents at this speed yet, you're leaving a serious competitive edge on the table!

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

a) Fastest 0→$100M ARR vibe-coding ramp I’ve seen. A real inflection
b) The next billion builders start on phones, not laptops. This is the unlock
c) Near-free expertise lets tiny teams build what used to take armies. We’re early

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

Amazing growth, fastest I have seen to $100m ARR. Great example for Indian startups. A real contender in the coding space.

[Mukund Jha @mukundjha]

Emergent is now at $100M ARR (run rate)

We got here in 8 months, making @emergentlabs one of the fastest-ever to do it!

That's not all.

Today, we're unlocking the next billion builders who will build on the go. 📱

[Prayag @theprayagtiwari]
