Audacious ambition, backed by years of disciplined execution. Zetwerk's journey from a bold vision to reimagine manufacturing to its public market debut today is an extraordinary one, and one we've been privileged to be part of. 🔔
When Zetwerk started less than a decade ago, the founders set out to fundamentally rethink how manufacturing works. In just eight years, they've built a global manufacturing platform serving some of the most important industries of the future, from precision manufacturing, renewable energy, consumer electronics, to AI infrastructure, aerospace, and defence.
Since first partnering with the team in 2018, we've had the opportunity to support their ambition across both our venture and growth funds as the company expanded into new industries and markets. It's been remarkable to see how far they've come while staying true to the vision they started with.
A huge congratulations to Amrit Acharya (@acharyaamrit), Srinath Ramakkrushnan (@srinathramki) and the entire Zetwerk (@zetwerk) team on today's IPO! We're very proud to have been part of this story and excited for everything still ahead. 👏

@sequoia is leading our Series C at a $1B valuation.
We started Blacksmith in 2024 to make CI faster and less painful. In January we ran 5 million CI jobs a week. Today it's over 90 million and growing, and we’re still early.
Dating has been desperate for innovation in a way that actually helps real people for at least the last five years. Building a database with a voice agent you pay $$$$ to enter is the most techbro take on dating ever, because it thinks only “efficiency” and utility is the point. So Silicon Valley keeps trying to build a DoorDash for Girlfriend model, with zero actual empathy for real people. Plus it is adverse selection - anyone who can’t find love otherwise puts themselves in because there is no fun or other reason to.
People don’t need a Mr/Ms Perfect. People need someone who is Perfect-for-them. People deserve to be seen and loved for who they really are. People deserve to feel less alone - as if they are failing if they don’t yet have the perfect life. It is high time technology works FOR the people, not to exploit them. Today we have the capability to do so much more with the tools in hand. Leadership and vision today matters more than it has in a decade.
For months, my late nights have gone to one question:
Is investing intuition a gift, or a skill: memories distilled into a feeling?
If Herbert Simon was right that intuition is recognition, I believe agents can learn it too.

One of the most inspiring athletes and a global icon! Ladies and Gentlemen, it's an honor to host the OG GOAT @Leander Paes at the CleverAI™ Summit on October 8th in Mumbai.
Can't wait 🤩
Does @temple really monitor blood flow to the brain, or just the scalp?
In our second validation study, we tested Temple BrainFlow against time-domain NIRS, one of the few technologies that can separate brain blood volume changes from scalp blood volume changes. We had 60 participants go through three physiological challenges: head-down tilt, stand-to-squat, stand-to-supine.
Across all three challenges, Temple BrainFlow tracked brain blood volume at r=0.84-0.91, significantly more than scalp blood volume. The most significant result came from head-down tilt, where Temple's correlation with the brain was 0.91, and scalp correlation was just 0.49.
Key takeaway: Temple tracks the brain, much more than the scalp.
Why this matters: Cerebral Blood Flow responds to almost everything longevity-oriented people already do. It rises with aerobic exercise, and VO2max correlates directly with it. It rises with cold exposure. It rises with meditation. Better sleep sustains it. It drops when you sit for too long. It drops when you are dehydrated. It is one of the most responsive and integrative biomarkers of how well your body is actually running, and aging.
Until now, you could only measure it in a clinical setting, in a single snapshot. Temple measures it continuously, in real time, while you live your life. And Temple is, as of today, the only wearable in the world with validations against brain blood volume, and not just scalp.
This study was guided by our Scientific Advisor, Prof. David Boas, Director of Boston University's Neurophotonics Center, and the mind behind several new, high-impact, biomedical optical technologies in neuroscience, including NIRS.
This is the second modality Temple BrainFlow is now validated against, after Transcranial Doppler. More coming soon.

The paper is posted as a preprint and submitted for peer review. We encourage researchers to replicate this. We'll happily loan Temples to any qualified researcher who wants to pressure-test any of our metrics independently.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve been in the trenches with India’s best founders—scaling everything from ATM & PoS networks and real-time payments to online investing and agentic AI.
Gratifying to watch India’s FinTech evolution firsthand. Onward. 🚀
@PeakXVPartners
What will the next generation of Indian fintech companies look like? More specialized. More personalized. And, increasingly, more global.
Fascinating conversation between @Razorpay's @harshilmathur and Peak XV’s @mobhat at @GffFintechfest today on building fintech companies from India for global scale.
Things that stood out:
• The next fintech wave goes beyond access. India’s first fintech era brought millions of consumers and businesses online. A deeper market now creates room to solve much more specific customer problems and still build at significant scale.
• AI makes that depth possible. As the cost of personalization falls, founders can build products across languages, customer segments and use cases in ways that were previously too expensive or complex.
• India’s fintech experience is increasingly exportable. With 49% of the world’s real-time payments happening here, Indian companies have had to solve for extraordinary scale and complexity. Those capabilities can become increasingly relevant in markets following a similar real-time payments journey.
There is still a huge amount to build in India. And an increasingly compelling opportunity to build from India for the world. 🙌
Had the good fortune to attend the inaugural address of the world's largest Fintech Festival - #GFF2026 by our Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi
Looking forward to conversations on the future of AI and Agentic, and discussing the future of financial inclusion & growth.

looking forward to to my fireside with @harshilmathur tomorrow to learn more about the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s reaction to @Razorpay new foundational model @shashank_kr
A special moment for @Razorpay today. 🇮🇳
Our CPO @khilanharia presented Vulcan - Razorpay’s foundation model for payments to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today.
A proud day for everyone who built it. And we’re just getting started.
Built in India. 🇮🇳
A lot more to come! 🔥
Congratulations to the incredible @tazapay team. it’s been our privilege to partner. Hat tip to @aakash_kpr for being a responsible steward on this journey @peakxvpartners

Munna Bhai. 3 Idiots. PK.
Raju Hirani has shaped how a billion people laugh, feel and see the world.
Met him at an invideo event. When you’re building for storytellers, standing next to someone who set the standard is a moment you keep.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Khadim Batti. He was a visionary leader whose passion and drive inspired those around him. His warmth and dedication touched the lives of many and left a lasting impact. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Whatfix team 🙏🏻
