Told them that while acquisitions offer comfort, a moonshot idea must be pursued when it appears. They chose the tougher path. That decision reflects their grit and commitment. I am glad to be a part of their journey as an investor.

I first connected with Aryan at an event, after which both he and Dhananjay reached out for guidance. What struck me immediately was their curiosity and their bold vision of building an AI wearable from India, despite global competitors raising significantly more.

[Dhananjay Yadav @imDhananjay]

We just raised $2M.
From building Neo 1 out of scrap parts… to becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing AI wearable startups, this journey has been unreal.

Proud to announce our $2M seed round led by Merak Ventures, with participation from incredible angels who believed in us long before the world did.

India will win the AI wearable race, and we’re building that future.

Neo 1 was just the beginning.
Next: the OS layer for all AI assistants - glasses, pendants, rings, everything.

To everyone who supported us through the chaos, the doubt, and the grind — this one is for you.

I have spent time at their office, and one thing stands out clearly: their exceptional team. In one meeting, they asked for my opinion on choosing between a fund raising offer and two acquisition offers.

There is absolutely nothing more exciting than imagining and creating the future. No amount of money, power or fame gives you the same feeling.

What a great time to be alive!

Mr. Aprameya Radhakrishna @aprameya, CEO & Co-Founder @kooindia, called on me in New Delhi today.

[Aprameya 🇮🇳 @aprameya]

I am so delighted to see the momentum around #Lakshadweep and all other Indian islands and holiday destinations. These are moments that have the potential to change mass behavior forever. It'll make Indian destinations top of mind recall. Can't wait to visit Lakshadweep myself!

The Omega Files (Inaugural edition)
————————————————

It has taken over a dozen years to get here. I was hoping it would be done by year 10. And we still have a few years before the Final Chapters of the Blume Fund I journey are entirely closed.

The First Edition of The Omega Files are about a proclamation from 6-7 years ago. Eyes widened at various LP (“Limited Partner”) offices around the world when I told them that we will start declassifying our Fund performances and track records as we reach the end of life of the fund.

There’s never a perfect time but this year felt like the closest we’ve been to the emotion of launching this new publication. We are almost done with all of Fund I and its vintage (will be fully done by mid 2024)

While it took a lot of inputs and data to piece together from team members helping us, my able lieutenant in putting this out has been @AdithyaS017 with his interns. Without touching any other firm resources, he’s put his head down over 6 months amidst regular business, to get us here.

A huge shout-out to @anandlunia and the team @IndiaQuotient for agreeing to, and contributing towards their guest cameo feature here. (We invite others to park their spots for edition 2 next year)

And here we go:

Hope you’ve stocked up on enough popcorn 🍿 or nachos or whatever your snack of choice.

Yes - it’s an iPad or desktop docsend view. Yes - there are dozens of other things we would have like to add. Yes - so many more hundreds of small stories.

But we wanted to strike a balance between the two big truth parameters of the capital markets - Data and the Market itself - and blend some of the stories (the people are the most important part) in the second half of the report. Head is already spinning with ideas for the 2nd edition. For now, may the learning begin.

(The J curve of a fund is more Jagged than The Rolling Stones…behold)
