you know what ambition looks like? I didn’t until I met @Tanushprem this guy lived with a mushroom farmer to understand the lifecycle of mushrooms. all of us knew mushrooms repel water but he turned that inside to build an invisible ink that can stop counterfeiting. so so glad he was a part of this cohort.
fake cancer drugs that can cause thousands of people their lives, reached 90+ Bengaluru hospitals this year. but who’s stopping the next batch? meet @Tanushprem he’s building Mushloop, fungi-based ink that stops counterfeiting. he has - > built an electric car in 2015, before EVs were a thing in India > $68000+ raised in grants > selected as 1 of 75 innovative startups in India > @iiscbangalore entrepreneur-in-residence > been selected for Stanford SeedSpark and @nsrcel_iimb building out of @residencyblr

i'm a big fan of creative people.
Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer. And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety. Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight. So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖 Hiring? My DMs are open.

been reading about bazaarnow and antler all day. a few thoughts here - > priyanshu runs both the big calls and the tiny details himself. that's what obsession actually looks like. > i don't think obsession can be built from scratch. you either walk in with it or you don't. what you can do is sharpen it a little every day. > honestly, i was never a fan of the "x factor" thing. felt like a vague word investors use. but the way antler breaks it down actually made sense. I’ve spoken to hundreds of founders to say that obsession plus distribution is the key to go ahead. that’s exactly when you know if your bet is worth it or not. everything else is just noise. not every founder is an outlier. but the ones who are, you can tell almost immediately.
OBSESSED OUTLIERS - A New Series #1 Priyanshu Jain (BazaarNow) We’re excited to share some new short stories, of founders and ideas we have backed in recent times. Perhaps the coolest changes happening in Indian commerce aren't in Bangalore or Gurgaon. They are in Mandya or Ramnagara. Priyanshu, Arjun and Tarithmay are building a new retail channel for millions underserved by modern retail. Just a few months in, @bazaarnow is already scaling towards 15,000 orders a day (apart from raising $9M+) This is the quick story of how I met Priyanshu in a cafe on a Sunday, and within 15 minutes, knew we had to back him. Why he scores highly on a framework we call “A-GOAT-X” And why we try to keep asking “what if it goes right?” It’s a good example of how we love backing entirely new concepts pre-product and pre-traction, how often we invest directly to lead $1M rounds (vs. Residency), and how quickly we @AntlerIndia like to develop that conviction. And above all how our process is mostly about the founder’s exceptional insights or spikes. Something that makes them a truly Obsessed Outlier.

got to know about biomarkers almost two years ago when @AadityaYuvraj was building something on same lines. Happy to see more people bring the vision to life
I'm Amit. I co-founded Noise and now I'm building Luna. In 2017, while building Noise, I was the unhealthiest I've ever been. I thought working nonstop was the only way. It wasn't. Small habits changed everything. Most wearables tell you what happened. Luna tells you what your body needs next, based on your normal, not everyone's average. I write about health data, building hardware in India for the world, building with AI as a non-engineer, and Hyrox. If that's your world, follow along.
