So why are billion-dollar companies being built almost overnight?” To understand this wild AI space, I speak with Manav Garg, Founder of Together Fund - the VC backing some of India’s fastest-growing AI startups, including Emergent, which scaled to $15M ARR in just 90 days. In this conversation, we discuss- - Why most AI startups are being built on negative gross margins - Why apps will fade and agents will own users - The mental models VCs use to spot hard, non-obvious problems early - Why India might be the most underrated AI market globally If you’re building, investing, or trying to make sense of where AI is really headed, this conversation will change how you think.
