Rajesh Razdan posted thisHeroku mattered. For a long time, it represented something important — speed, focus, and a developer experience that got out of the way. Many great companies were built on it. A quiet shift is happening in developer platforms. The old promise was: “Don’t think about infrastructure.” The new reality is: you can’t avoid it — but you shouldn’t have to suffer through it either. As teams rethink Heroku and similar platforms, I’m seeing a common pattern: -They want hyperscaler power and Kubernetes portability, but they don’t want YAML-driven chaos or a maze of bespoke pipelines. This middle layer — between raw cloud and fully managed PaaS — is where the next generation of platforms will win. 🚀 🚀 That’s the problem space we’re deeply invested in at Devtron Inc., and honestly, it’s the most interesting infrastructure challenge I’ve seen in a decade. Would love to hear how others are approaching this transition — or what’s been harder than expected ?

Rajesh Razdan shared thisIt’s about the architectural necessity of Decoupling Deployment from Release. Great read by our colleague Pawan Kumar. There is deployment and then there is “Devtron Deployment” Devtron Inc.Rajesh Razdan shared thisIf "Deployment" and "Release" mean the same thing to you, you don't have a CI/CD pipeline, you have a gamble. In native Kubernetes, when you update a Deployment, you expose that new code to your users immediately. If the new version has a critical bug, you’ve just maxed out your error budget in seconds. This is why high-scale infrastructure eventually needs a Service Mesh. It’s not about the hype. It’s about the architectural necessity of Decoupling Deployment from Release. In the latest edition of The Five Nines Report, I break down why Layer 7 traffic control is the only safe way to scale releases.Why You Actually Need a Service Mesh: Decoupling Deployment from ReleaseWhy You Actually Need a Service Mesh: Decoupling Deployment from ReleasePawan Kumar

Rajesh Razdan posted thisMost teams don’t actually have a tooling problem. They have a complexity problem. Over the last few years , we’ve built incredible systems — cloud-native stacks, Kubernetes, CI/CD, AI-assisted development. Each layer solved something real. But together, they’ve created an environment where shipping reliably is as important than shipping fast. At Devtron Inc., what we see repeatedly is this: Teams want confidence, not dashboards. Confidence that a change won’t break production. Confidence that automation is doing the right thing. Confidence that AI suggestions are grounded in their systems, not generic patterns. That’s what our platform is really about today — learning from how software behaves in the real world and using that intelligence to guide delivery, verification, and decision-making. Less guesswork. Fewer rollbacks. More signal, less noise. Where this gets interesting is where the industry is heading next. AI in DevOps and cloud native won’t be about chatbots bolted onto tools. It will be about systems that understand context — your code, your infrastructure, your traffic, your risk tolerance — and can act autonomously within guardrails you trust. That’s the future we’re building toward: AI that doesn’t just recommend, but reasons. Automation that doesn’t just execute, but adapts. Platforms that fade into the background because they’re finally working the way teams think. Curious how others are approaching trust, autonomy, and AI in software delivery. What’s working — and what still feels broken?

Rajesh Razdan posted thisWe spoke to more than 20 leaders over the past many weeks from Kubecon in Atlanta to AWS re:Invent and everyone talked about them experiencing more complexity to handle both infrastucture and application, given acceleration of code generation nowadays with AI copilots while deployments beginning to feel the bottleneck as one navigates faster time to market and reliability intact, in the same sentence. "This is where the Devtron platform comes in, enabling both development and SRE teams to handle daily production use cases such as deploying new software, debugging production incidents, and monitoring production software. Devtron uses AI to analyze and automate SRE functions" Devtron Inc. 's roadmap to address this is quite unique whether you are migrating from legacy deployments to new or going from modern to a new AI normal. Give it a try at https://devtron.ai/

If your team is struggling with security backlog, and agentic coding is only adding to your struggles, read this.Rajesh Razdan liked thisHow GitLab's new Agentic SAST Vulnerability Resolution is changing the game. Unlike traditional tools that just flag problems, GitLab Duo functions as a reasoning agent: * Traces vulnerabilities across the entire codebase to understand the root cause. * Generates high-quality, context-aware code fixes (not just single-shot suggestions). * Automates pipeline validation on proposed fixes, before a human review.

Rajesh Razdan liked thisRajesh Razdan liked thisA slow Sunday afternoon, looking back at the last year at Nerah Skin™ When I started, all I had was one table, one chair, racks of products, and a question I kept returning to, can skincare be made with clarity, honesty, and fewer steps? The year that followed came with rejections, pauses, and moments of reassurance that we were moving in the right direction. Being bootstrapped meant learning as we went, staying close to the work, and being careful about what we chose to build and what we chose not to. Today, we’re a full-time team of five. As we step into a new financial year in April, this moment feels significant. We’re closing our first year of operations, profitably :) and a clearer sense of direction for what comes next. Year two feels less about experimentation and more about innovation: sharper products, stronger systems, and deeper alignment with our community. Writing took a backseat while I was heads-down finding the right people to build with. Sharing this now feels overdue. #foundernote #notshy #itsmyjourney

Rajesh Razdan reacted on thisRajesh Razdan reacted on thisCongrats to Citi Ventures portfolio company Skan AI and CEO Avinash Misra, Co-founder, CPO/COO Manish Garg, and Aman Rangrass, SVP, Global Head of Revenue on the Nasdaq feature, a very well deserved recognition. Skan AI is tackling one of the hardest (and most underappreciated) problems in enterprise AI: agents can’t act effectively if they don’t understand how work actually happens. Their approach, observing real work across systems and building execution-level intelligence, is what enables enterprise-grade agentic automation. Skan’s platform continuously captures “ground-truth execution visibility” across front, middle, and back office workflows, which becomes the foundation for deployable, governed AI agents. This is critical because: • Most agents today are interface layers over LLMs, not systems of execution • Enterprises need process-level context, not just language understanding • Governance, auditability, and ROI all depend on how work actually gets done Skan’s thesis, that enterprise AI needs a system of record for execution, is exactly what bridges that gap. As Avinash Misra puts it, their work effectively connects “human intent and autonomous execution” in a scalable way. Looking forward to hosting Avinash on a panel on Enterprise Agentic AI at the upcoming Citi AI Summit. Should be a great discussion on what it really takes to move from automation to autonomy.

Rajesh Razdan liked thisRajesh Razdan liked thisI wrote something personal this week. It starts with a black and white television and ends with building an AI lending agent. In between: a begged entry into a computer lab, four years of sleeping under my desk, a Panasonic phone from a South Delhi basement, and a chat room handle called mouse_potato. Every shift in my career started the same way, playing with something before I understood it. This one is no different. Link in comments If you've ever felt the pull of the next thing before you could explain why, this might resonate.

Rajesh Razdan liked thisRajesh Razdan liked thisJust wrapped an incredible conversation with some of the brightest minds in AI. Here are 5 things that might shape the next 2-3 years: 💡 Physical sciences are next. AI is moving beyond text and code into materials science, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. Research labs and industry players are already raising billions to capitalize on this shift. 💡 Enterprise data is the real moat. Large CRM companies already have hundreds of vetted, security-tested agents ready to deploy. Startups without access to enterprise data pipelines simply cannot compete and the window is closing fast. 💡 Orchestration layer startups are in trouble. Major SaaS platforms are building their own orchestration layers in-house. Unless you're in a niche vertical or positioned for acquisition, the business case for third-party orchestration is disappearing. 💡 Productivity gains are already dramatic. Product leaders are seeing real 4x output increases through agent automation - SDLC cycles compressed from months to weeks, product managers submitting PRs, and entire workflows running autonomously in the background. 💡 Knowledge democratization is reaching its ceiling. Everyone now has access to the same information base. The next frontier isn't consuming existing knowledge but generating new knowledge, where formal methods + LLMs will drive the next wave of breakthroughs. I am curious to hear your thoughts! Are there other trends you are paying close attention to? #ai #worldmodels #vc Seligman Umesh Eddie

Agilitas x Virat Kohli partnership is one of the masterstroke deals I have seen in recent times. Virat invests 40 CR in Agilitas for a 1.94% stake, putting Agilitas’s valuation around 2000 CR. 📈 In turn, Agilitas acquires one8world, making Virat a co-founder and shareholder. They now get two very important growth levers: ⬇️ 1. A powerful manufacturing (via Mochiko Shoes - a 600 CR+ footwear brand that Agilitas acquired in 2008 ), 2. India’s biggest athlete — exclusively aligned. Easily becomes a 4000 CR revenue brand in the next 5 years. Footwear + retail scale requires capital — but this partnership compresses customer acquisition, product cycles, and brand-building like few others. Even Virat said in his podcast with Abhishek Ganguly, the co-founder of Agilitas that, “I didn’t want a brand deal… I wanted to build something that outlives me.” And Abhishek said something even beautiful - “An ambition to build from India but be globally relevant.” This isn’t marketing. This is legacy building with shared skin in the game. And that is how startups work - shared ambition with one goal (to make the company big) and food (read stake) in the table for everyone! A company that can be built in the long term with culture, capital, and conviction aligned. This might be the first time in India, where an athlete joins hands with a sport company to re-imagine and build the sport ecosystem of India - truly revolutionalising the game with a clear vision. 🙌

Rainy days in Mumbai often inspire reflections on the happenings in the #startup ecosystem. When asked about the state of the India startup market, I sum it up concisely: - The funding winter is behind us, with green shoots flourishing, signaling the arrival of Spring. - Funding is now more concentrated, favoring startups with sound economics and mature founders for subsequent rounds. - First-time raises are decreasing, accompanied by smaller cheque sizes. - Valuation euphoria has subsided, with a shift towards a more grounded approach influenced by collective wisdom. These dynamics are fostering a favorable environment for #VentureDebt, particularly gaining traction among SaaS startups with low churn rates and defined revenue. Venture debt is increasingly recognized as an effective tool in India, enabling startups to expand round sizes, extend runways, manage dilution impacts, and optimize #CostofCapital (WACC).

On February 18, during India's AI Impact Summit, a company called Sarvam shipped a 105-billion-parameter model trained from scratch in India on government-subsidized GPUs, designed for 22 Indian languages. It outperforms DeepSeek-R1 on certain benchmarks at one-sixth the size. The same summit produced $200 billion in investment pledges from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Reliance. The headlines were about the money. The real story was Sarvam. This post examines in detail why it took this long, what changed, and whether Sarvam is the first crack in an old equilibrium or a lonely exception. "Indians Rule Big Tech.

From our PearX S25 cohort, meet Pravāh, the AI-native operating system for the electric grid When Mohak Mangal, Dhruv Suri, and Aman Gupta looked at the strain on the U.S. electric grid, they saw a system pushed to its limits. Exploding demand and unpredictable supply have made blackouts increasingly common. This costs the economy more than $150B a year, a number that could 10x in the next five years. Mohak Mangal and team founded Pravāh to help fix it. Their platform helps utilities and grid operators make real-time decisions on load, generation, and congestion, reducing blackout risks, optimizing power procurement, and bringing much-needed stability to the backbone of modern life. We’re proud to support the Pravāh team as they take on one of the toughest and most important infrastructure challenges of our time.

With over 11,000 startups, India’s healthtech sector is brimming with talent. But a shortage of early-stage capital is pushing promising ventures overseas. This sector needs more than funding. It needs better infrastructure, public procurement support, and founders who can balance tech brilliance with business savvy. The good news is that 2025 is seeing a funding revival, and the ecosystem is warming up. With the right push—smart capital, supportive policy, and a shift towards commercial thinking—India could become the global hub for healthtech. The foundation is here. It’s time to build on it.

Having seen the journey up close from ideation to execution and now early fundraise, proud to share that Fire AI has raised over ₹6 crore from investors to accelerate its mission of building cutting-edge AI solutions for real-world impact. What stood out early was the clarity of vision: CXOs and decision-makers need their own internal “ChatGPT”, a real-time, trusted source of facts and insights about their own business, always at their fingertips without the bureaucracy. This problem is massive. India has 60M+ small and medium enterprises, where the need for structured intelligence is obvious, yet decision-making is still largely traditional. Add to that the well-known challenge — India doesn’t easily pay for enterprise SaaS — and you see why this segment has been underserved for so long. That’s where Fire AI is driving a real shift. Built in India, for India (and the world), it takes a cost-efficient, India-tailored approach to delivering real value for SMEs — without the bloat of large enterprise software. The early traction and strong feedback from SMBs validates that this market will pay when the product is designed for their reality. Kudos to Vipul and the Fire AI team for pushing the needle on India SaaS adoption. Businesses like this are quietly changing the narrative.

The healthcare ecosystem in India presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for startups. The 4th Brij Round discussion with the founder of an India-focused health platform highlighted several crucial points for pitching investors in this complex market: Clarify Your Stakeholders and Sales Channels: It is essential to clearly articulate which stakeholder will be paying for your product and who will be responsible for making the sale. This demonstrates a clear understanding of the market dynamics. Justify Your Sales Channel: Go beyond identifying your sales channel. Explain why it is the most effective choice and what incentives are in place for that channel to succeed. Focus on Value and Retention, Not Just Technology: While your technology is important, your pitch should focus on the tangible value you provide to the user and the strategies you will employ for user retention. Provide Clear ROI Calculations: India is a price-sensitive and value-conscious market. A well-articulated calculation of the return on investment for your customers is not just a nice-to-have; it's a necessity. Keep Your Initial Presentation Focused: Avoid overwhelming investors with too much information in the first meeting. The primary objective of your initial pitch is to convince them of your vision and the viability of your business. Further details can be discussed in subsequent meetings. Navigating the Indian healthcare market requires a nuanced approach. A pitch that addresses these key points will be significantly more compelling to investors. #Healthcare #HealthTech #Startup #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #India #Pitching
