Supporting founders & growing ecosystems | Platform @hashedem | Host @ibwofficial | Web3 × AI

[Ekta @ektaamd]

over the past few months, working closely with founders has changed how i see ecosystems.

strong ecosystems are built on founder trust, velocity, and long-term support.

currently exploring this across web3 × ai.

AI didn't make me smarter. It made me more honest about how vague my thinking was before I had to explain it to something that just executes.

[Ekta @ektaamd]

Adapting to change isn’t a personality trait anymore. It’s a choice. And I watch two people make opposite choices every single day - my parents.

My mom is a college principal. Every time a new system rolls out, a new tool drops, she’s on it. She picked up AI before most people in her circle knew it existed. She’s using it consistently, growing into it. She is flourishing.

My dad is a mechanical engineer. Brilliant at what he does. But adapting to new technology, new systems, new ways of working - that’s where he resists. He still largely operates by the rules that worked in the 90s. The world has moved. He hasn’t moved with it and the gap keeps widening.

Same household. Same era. Completely different trajectories.

I’m not saying this to judge him, I say it because watching both of them up close has been the most honest lesson I’ve gotten. The world is not going to slow down for anyone. Not for your comfort, not for your history, not for how good you were at the old way.

You have to keep adapting. New systems, new tools, new ways of thinking - not once, continuously. Because the moment you decide you’re done updating, the world starts leaving you behind.

You don’t have to be first. But you cannot afford to stand still.

Noticing that the people with the least to prove are usually the ones doing the most interesting things.

being offline is no longer an option btw

there was a great window between 2020 to 2023 where you could get around by just being terminally online

but it’s 2026 and that meta is extremely over - no matter what city you’re in, you need to be present in rooms that let you talk about your work or connect with others who help you get better or get in front of the right ppl

if you’re not onground, you are missing out on opportunities big-time (hard pill to swallow, but an important one)

Really loved the energy around the IBW reveal during the Pizza Party last night.

We ended up giving away a few IBW tickets live to people in the room, and that honestly became one of the best moments of the night.

Tickets are officially live for everyone now.

Mumbai, we’ll see you soon.

India Blockchain Week returns for its 4th edition and this time we're heading to Mumbai.

We officially announced IBW 2026 during Bitcoin Pizza Day in Bangalore last night and had an incredible response from everyone in the room.

Happening on November 1–2, IBW 2026 is being built to bring the entire Indian Web3 ecosystem under one roof from founders, exchanges, institutions, investors, creators and all the people shaping what comes next for crypto in India.

See you in Mumbai. More announcements coming soon.

[Ekta @ektaamd]

@IBWofficial Mumbai it is!

[India Blockchain Week (IBW) Conference @IBWofficial]

GM Pizza Party has officially started.

Some of the best people in India Web3 have already pulled up tonight and the energy here is insane.

And honestly, what better night than Bitcoin Pizza Day to reveal some really big surprises.

[Ekta @ektaamd]

@contentwaala Yes i and my friends would love to join for sure!!

[Ekta @ektaamd]

I was approving Luma applications yesterday and genuinely surprised by how many people still haven't set up their LinkedIn or X profile.

A decent photo and a clear bio - that's it. That's all it takes to not get skipped. It's the bare minimum of showing up professionally and says a lot about you.

[Karthik Selvaraj • Hiring Actively! @KartAttacks]

Rooftop + Poolside + Pizza + Beer 🍕🍺
