Mumbai’s second-time founders build differently.
The first company is for the market.
The second is for the 2 AM obsession.
That second one is usually the better bet.
#ProLearn has raised ₹30 Cr from Eximius Ventures, @beenextVC, @AntlerGlobal & others.
They’re building an AI-native learning companion to make personalised, adaptive learning accessible to millions of Indian students.
Excited to partner with Ravneet & team! ✨
The U.S. moved against India on trade today, even as trade talks continue.
Nobody told Indian founders building for American customers that global ambition would come with a geopolitical tax.
AI is moving healthcare from reactive treatment to everyday guidance.
In today's #EximiusEcho, we look at how AI could reshape Health & Fitness in India, from chronic care companions & medical assistants to personalisation & real-time monitoring.

Congratulations to Rajat & Mehul of #EarthSync on making the @Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list.
A well-deserved recognition for two founders building with ambition and clarity in a sector that matters deeply.
Proud to be on this journey with them.
From a $14B annualised revenue run rate in February to $47B in May, @AnthropicAI is moving at a different speed.
3x in 3 months.
The AI race does not have a second gear. It just keeps getting faster.
A new look, same intent.
We’re rolling out a fresh batch of videos rooted in useful ideas & strong business stories.
Starting with this one: how ₹4,000 & a pawned family jewel became the foundation of a global brand.

Capital is moving earlier.
In 2024–25, pre-seed was the only major funding stage in India to grow YoY.
That says a lot about where conviction is getting underwritten.

India startup funding went from $46.6M one week to $354M the next.
That is not just momentum. It is pent-up conviction releasing all at once.
Yeh market kabhi gaya hi nahi tha.
Brands spend crores trying to go viral.
Then one moment: PM Modi hands PM Meloni a ₹1 toffee, and Melody sells out across quick commerce overnight.
Authenticity does not have a brief. It just has a moment.
Budget 2026 just gave it a name: the Orange Economy.
Creator-led spending could cross $1T by 2030.
But only 8% of creators meaningfully make money from it today.
That gap between influence and income is where the next big Indian startup is hiding.
We’re looking for an AI Research & Systems Intern at @eximiusvc
Work from our Bengaluru office across AI sector research, diligence & internal AI systems that help us become a more AI-native VC fund.

Very few founders prep for the conversation that actually decides the cheque. Everyone preps for the pitch.
Here are the 5 questions I usually like to ask every founder in our first meeting.
Can AI give Indian #EdTech its second act?
India has 1.5Mn schools, 8.5Mn+ teachers, 260Mn+ school enrolments & 40Mn+ higher-ed students.
The first wave expanded access.
The next wave could do a lot more! Read our latest #EximiusEcho ↓

Razorpay ( @Razorpay ) took a valuation haircut to go public. From $7.5 Bn to $5.5 Bn.
Most founders protect the number. These founders chose the market!
Conviction > cap table ego.
