Bengaluru AI Hack Day: luma.com/7uv6t3hg

AI tools are enabling ANYONE to build real world apps, slides, images and videos. What once was only built by the pros, is now just a single prompt away.

Today, Your Idea is what matters.

Nano Banana Pro, Replit, Apollo AI, NotebookLM, ChatGPT Atlas, ElevenLabs, Gamma will do the rest.

Nandini and I have been using these tools extensively and realised how effective AI is at giving equal access to everyone to build and launch ideas overnight.

💡To promote this culture, we are hosting Bengaluru AI Hack Day on 13th December, 2025.

A FREE full day hackathon to build with AI, to network and win prizes like MacBook Air, Mac Mini, PlayStation5 and more!🤯

There are 2 tracks:
1. Vibe Code a Website
2. Generate a short film/ad

The themes will be revealed at the venue.

You’ll also learn more about using AI from speakers like Harish Uthayakumar, Saptarshi Prakash, Mehul Mohan and more.

Thanks to Polaris School of Technology for providing the venue.

And to our sponsors Make, Gamma, Anything for making this hackathon a reality.

You’ll also receive plenty of credits from Lovable and Morphic for building apps and movies.

MumbAI Hack Day was great, but Bengaluru AI Hack Day will be bigger and better.

Let the hacking BEGIN!🧑‍💻

What do you get in a 1Lakh/day hotel?

I had to try it out.

I was recently staying at the Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur for a day. This is the resort where Ye Jawani He Diwani was shot and a lot of celebrity weddings happen.

But what’s the difference between a regular hotel and uber luxury resorts like this one?

The service and the experience.
That’s one thing Oberoi and Taj in India have mastered.

Here’s what I noticed:

- They offer a private boat ride for your welcome to the property.
- As you enter, the staff is greeting you with your name.
- A shower of rose petals as you reach the reception along with a guide telling you all about the property and asking about your journey so far.
- Welcome drinks and a Mewari turban awaits you at the private lounge.
- The entire check-in process happens once you reach your room, which is customised exactly to your liking.
- A complimentary dish in the in-room dining order for me to try it out.
- The concierge makes all dinner/event bookings in the city on your behalf
- The breakfast can totally be ordered, without the need to going to the buffet to refill.
- Direct access to a semi-private pool from your room to soak in the surreal sunsets.
- A 30 acre property you can get lost in, with their massive gardens, walkaways, domes and Jharokas inspired by traditional Rajasthani architecture.
- Rajasthani folk dance and live music during dinner gives it a royal feel.

I’ve stayed in many hotels, but I’ve never had an experience like this one. The most impressive part was how they remembered my name, from the security guard to the hotel manager.

The world needs to learn hospitality from Indian hotel chains like Oberoi and Taj.

If you could afford, would you stay in a property like this?

Just bought the first house of my life in bengaluru!🥹

I’ve rented all my life.

Some will say buying a house is a bad idea.

But not everything is an investment which needs to have a ROI.

You can’t put a rupee amount to the peace of mind and safety a home provides.

I’m flying to 🇺🇸 for New iPhone Launch!

But why does Apple do it?

Why does Apple spend millions on an in-person event just to launch a phone?

Apple events arent just product launches. They’re grand occasions where the entire tech industry comes together to witness in awe.

Apart from building hype, apples gets to build the story around their mission. Its a masterclass in branding and storytelling.

The little hints from the invitations keep people talking and guessing what might be the final features of the latest iPhone, its colors and its name.

The attention to detail in these well produced events put Apple in a league of its own and helps differentiate from competitors who do their best to immitate, be it the features of the event structure

The event also helps integrate the iPhone effectively with the rest of the Apple ecosystem with the simultaneous launch of a new apple watch or airpods.

Its my second time attending the Apple event and Im super excited to enter the steve jobs theatre, and then run outside to see the latest iPhones IRL.

See you in cupertino!

You are distracted every 2 minutes at work.🤯

Microsoft revealed the solution...

I just visited the Microsoft IDC office in Noida where they unveiled the Work Trend Index Report, a report outlining how you and I perform at workplace and the impact of AI in companies big and small.

We live in a world where employees are working tirelessly at work and sometimes even at home, and yet companies are looking for yet higher productivity gains.

80% workers say they lack the time/energy needed, while 53% of leaders demand higher productivity.

But AI is enabling companies to bridge this gap completely. Allowing employees to offload the repetitive tasks to AI while they focus all their time on tasks that require creativity and critical thinking.

Microsoft calls such companies "Frontier Firms". These are orgs where:
1. Tasks are human led, AI Agent operated(blending machine intelligence with human judgement)

2. Work charts over org charts(structuring teams based on goals over functional expertise)

3. Employees through out the company have the AI know-how to create and deploy AI Agents at scale.

46% of workers treat AI like a thought partner, using it to brainstorm ideas and challenge their thinking.

Companies are looking for people who have the skill to delegate and manage AI agents for key tasks, making AI literacy is the most sought after skill you can learn in 2025.

The report shares more data on how AI Agents are driving efficiency across marketing, ops, sales, hiring and more.

How are you learning AI?

I just gave my first international talk!🤯

But this one was special...

On India's Independence Day, I travelled to Bangkok to speak at Nas Summit. I've been attending Nas Summit for atleast 3 years now. In Dubai, Bengaluru, San Francisco.

It was always an epic way for me to meet creators, founders and students who're starting their career. But I never imagined 2025 will be the year when I get invited to speak at one. So when I got the call a week ago, I had to say YES.

I spoke about AI Agents and how to build them using No Code apps like Make, n8n and Lindy AI. We live in a time where it is possible for everyone to build and deploy personal AI Agents that help automate the boring things in life.

From summarizing meetings to creating and sending invoices to finding stocks to sales and lead gen, AI Agents today are helping people accomplish 2-3x in the same amount of time.

And tools like Lindy and Opal by Google make it possible to simply type what you want the agent to do, and it automatically builds the AI Agent for you, picking the exact modules and integrations that work for you and your company.

The future belongs to those who can think with clarity and communicate exactly what they want. Sadly, most people focus too much on hard skills like coding, finance while focusing too little on critical thinking.

What do you think?
Do you use AI Agents?

Thanks to Nas Summit for letting me share my learnings on a global stage.🙏

did something really cool today!

The question is, are these pictures AI generated?

Also, which one was the best?

What an unreal day it has been.

Gave a talk at a college in Bangalore on sales and persuasion in the morning, and spend the day with my parents driving around the city.

I feel really grateful to be able to meet my parents and spend time with them soo often. This is what makes it all worth it.

everything is hollow victory.
ain’t it?

DON'T be crazy: https://youtu.be/o4Htj6RN3rc?si=_hhwk...

This was my biggest learning.

Last month, I got to interview Tejas Khoday, the founder of FYERS and his insights into finance and business were the opposite of what I hear everyone say:

• Prioritize Risk, Not Jackpots
Instead of seeking "multibaggers" or looking for "jackpots", trading is mostly about risk management. When you take too much leverage, you reduce your margin of error, which makes you vulnerable to sudden market ups and downs.

• Master Trading Foundations First
Only balanced people survive the markets and the skill to learn to control oneself is the most important. Hence, you must always learn about the foundations and understand how capital markets really function and what leads to change in stock prices.

• Traders Drive Market Efficiency
While you've heard that most traders fail to beat the index, the spirit to out-compete and excel is what keeps the market liquid and moving. Speculators are absolutely necessary part of the system.

• Avoid Overtrading, Manage Leverage
More trading doesn't mean more profits. This is a huge myth. The most dangerous thing in trading is not knowing how to handle leverage.

• Active Learning Beats Info Overload
You can only learn soo much by watching youtubers tell you how trading and investing works. The real learning always comes from experience in the market. Avoid information overload. Prioritize action.

He shared more about his story of starting trading at 16 to building a 1000+ crore company bootstrapped to create the best trading experience for users.

Which insight did you like the most?
