Fast wasn’t enough. So we went faster. AHUTI Mk-II.

[Apollyon Dynamics @ApollyonDyn]

498 km/h. A new benchmark for multirotor speed in India.
Apollyon Dynamics has officially achieved 498 km/h, surpassing the previous recorded benchmark of 325 km/h by a significant margin, and the achievement is now officially recognized by the India Book of Records.

Speed matters. For our interceptors, it means faster response, faster engagement, and greater capability.

But this milestone is ultimately about the team behind it, a team moving at a pace that is difficult to match.

498 km/h today. Faster tomorrow.

Apollyon Dynamics.

@ApollyonDyn just hit 498 Kmph with Ahuti Mk II.

Had the opportunity to spend some time with leaders building some of India’s most exciting space-tech companies.
Listening to their journeys, the problems they’re solving, and the SHEER SCALE OF AMBITION in the room was genuinely inspiring. India’s space-tech ecosystem has come a long way, and it feels like we’re still only getting started.

Grateful to the Hon’ble IT Minister and his team for organising this interaction at the Telangana Secretariat and bringing the ecosystem together. It was great to see the government actively engaging with founders and thinking about what Hyderabad can become in the years ahead.🚀

Travis Kalanick reveals Bill Gurley pressured him to take a $6 billion valuation. Two months later, he raised at $17.5 billion.

"Gurley was convinced it was the end of the world and we've got to raise, and just take your first term sheet, just f*cking take it."

"We got to a place where I just wouldn't talk to him. If he reached out to me, I would talk to him, but I just wouldn't try to engage because it was always that. So Emil Michael would handle this part. He would handle a lot of the investor relations."

"Anyways, two months later, we got a round done at a $17.5 billion pre."

"We were already planning IPO stuff. [Benchmark Capital] didn't know it. But they also never expressed the desire to be like, 'Hey, dude, you gotta IPO.' It was never brought up."

"If you think the world's about to end and you've got this thing that's worth a ton of money, you could get to a weird place. Especially when you're a VC, you don't have any control. You're not running anything. So now your entire outcome in life is due to this guy."

"You could get into a place where you're running a war room to destroy him. And that's kind of what happened."

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

This was one of the most fun and intellectually deep conversations I've had in a while.

@sreeramkannan has thought very deeply about future of governance and scientific discovery in the post-AGI world.

Time really did fly that day!

Dario Amodei’s wife badgered Jeffery Epstein to invest in her porn company three years after he plead guilty to soliciting a child for prostitution.

You really hate to see this happen to the CEO of Silicon Valley’s foremost authority on morality

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Jeff is the reason for my first ever viral tweet.

2 years ago, with probably ~150 followers, I shared about my B-tree visualization tool (eventually turning into the PlanetScale blog). He saw it, liked it, and shared with his audience.

Sounds silly, but a little thing like that can change your trajectory. How could one of the most intelligent people in the world think something I built was actually cool?

At the time, sounded crazy.

Build something useful. Share it. Who knows whose desk it will come across.

Oh, and congrats on Discovery Loop!
