Grants come to you. Wow — this was my dream when I started building GrantOrb, an AI system for grants, 1.5 years ago. And "grants come to you" is now a reality.
As someone who has sought grants, knows the pain involved in every step of grant winning — we've built an amazing system that takes all the pain away: from locating the right grants that match your needs, to helping you come up with winning ideas, to developing the grant application that's funder-aligned. Everything in minutes. We're built to be used by your entire team in a collaborative fashion.
We're enabling the changemakers to the max with AI.
And we're just getting started 🚀
Seriously reading the book about the man whose ads moved an entire country of 1.5 billion people - making them cry, laugh, and take pride in their culture. India is so diverse it’s more like a continent than a country, food habits change every 100 km. It’s not an easy place to do communication. And yet Piyush Pandey recognized the cultural differences and still made ads that entertained the whole country.
Reading about his life, his middle class upbringing in Jaipur, and his deep genuine interest to understand humans shows the informal training that shaped his work. A must read no matter the profession because storytelling isn’t going anywhere, and in the age of AI, authentic storytelling is the only thing that matters.
Lala business is such a fun way to do business. Lala is a Hindi slang for family run businesses, and they differ quite a bit in their approach. They’re not cold corporate types. They provide genuine hospitality from the heart that takes the edge off pure transaction. It’s the warm, approachable feeling when dealing with Lala businesses, knowing they will always be there not just for the work.
At GrantOrb I’m running a Lala business
multicultural > multinational
Multinational means being physically present in multiple countries. That does not equal understanding the local cultures of those places.
Multicultural means you have real local insights wherever you are, so you can tell stories that immediately connect with the locals of those countries.
It’s funny how we travel the world and talk to people online, yet still put so little effort into actually understanding cultures. We just expect a certain kind of standardization from everyone, it’s like flattening them.
This new literary prize for books written with AI is such a great thing. Using AI to write takes immense creativity and taste, it’s not for the ordinary + it democratizes storytelling.
love the X + Grok experience its like my public diary that i can query anytime.
since i tweet so much about food i asked Grok what it thinks abt me as a food person. this is what grok says:
“You treat food as sticky culture and reverse the convenience drift that rewrote most plates. North Indian savoury full breakfasts (stuffed paratha + buttermilk) stay non-negotiable in Vancouver. Cooking is therapeutic and something you still do yourself. Farmers markets drive both the economics and the quality cycle—see beautiful produce, overbuy, cook and finish it. Slow-cooked, homemade, regional food is the real health benchmark. Delivery apps get called out as expensive and culturally corrosive; AI is what gives the hours back so the older habits can return.”
