For years, we hit the same wall everyone else did.

You automate a few steps. Then complexity wins. And your best people are back to doing work that should run itself. That's what we set out to fix - not for our customers first, but for ourselves.

I'm proud to introduce Akai by Deel.
Akai is an interconnected system of agents that learns your workflows, automates every step, and gets smarter with every run - auditably, on any system.

Today, 100% of Deel's operations teams, across Finance, Tax, Treasury, Benefits, and HR, run on Akai. The results stopped us in our tracks:
→ 100,000+ cases handled automatically every month
→ 8,000+ hours of payment processing - now background tasks
→ Reconciliation that took 20+ days - now done in minutes
→ 100% automation in areas we couldn't reach after years of coding
→ 91,000+ manual hours saved every single month

Now, every team is now building agents themselves. No developers. No IT tickets. Just the people who know the work, running it. That's the ceiling we broke.

Now we're opening it up. With built-in voice, transactions across any payment method, and the ability to process and analyse any document or dataset - out of the box.

Your first agents could be running by tomorrow! Get early access at https://t.co/mMBMmX4fMT

@NalinisKitchen What happened to the Rolls Royce from Beast time?

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@likithareddy Yup. It’s a pain to go either side of this now. Jayanagar <> JP Nagar corridor is a mess now.

@firstworkhr is live on @ProductHunt today 📷

The bottleneck in frontline hiring isn't sourcing. It's everything after the offer.

Verification, Compliance, Docs, Training, Scheduling, etc. All manual. All slow. All reasons a worker drops off before Day 1.
We built the fix 📷

@Imrishav108 @tallboykarthik Look at the recent Hardik - MS video before Saturday’s game. MS seems to ask him something similar about his bat weight.

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@udupendra May be from watching RCB games.

This must be the silliest marketing campaign I’ve seen. Money down the drain.

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@ShachiGambhir The one in JP Nagar? Been there a year ago - nothing special. 🤔

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@valmoth1 @vinayakkm Shashank, may be soon.

🚨 Hiring in Bangalore: Founder’s Office at Canvass.

Canvass is a tiny, crazy‑ambitious consumer intelligence startup backed by Rainmatter + top fintech angels.

Apply if you write clearly, crave ownership, hate chaos but love fixing it, and care about what Indian consumers actually want.

@make_it_so @markmeyourze I just ordered from their online store. But they don’t deliver fresh cheeses like burrata or mozzarella outside Mumbai.

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@lightroastguy I think Nombre also does this. Been there only a couple of times but not sure.

They do have bean selection but may be only for manual brews and I think they have a separate flat burr grinder for those.

[Sankar Mahadevan @sankarnm]

@lightroastguy I’ve actually never been to Subko.

Among the Jayanagar and JP Nagar ones I go to:
Kinya and Benki do this - I’m a regular in both places.

GroundUp probably does this too but I haven’t been there in a while
