Neelam Dwivedi reposted thisNeelam Dwivedi reposted thisThe person who built Claude Code just told you how to use it. Here’s what matters. Boris Cherny shipped 259 PRs last month. 497 commits, 40k lines. Every line written by Claude Code. He posted threads on X laying out exactly how his team uses it. Not marketing. Operational specifics. Here’s what stood out. ----- Parallelism is the real unlock. His team runs 3–15 AI sessions simultaneously. The biggest gain isn’t making Claude smarter — it’s treating it like a workforce you schedule, not a single assistant you chat with. Plan first. Always. Every task starts in “plan mode.” Boris iterates until the plan is solid, then flips to auto-execute. When things go sideways, the answer is to re-plan — not push harder. One engineer spins up a second Claude to review the plan as a senior engineer would. Build institutional memory into the system. Every team maintains a shared instruction file in their repo. Every time Claude makes a mistake, someone adds a rule. Result: Claude gets measurably better at their codebase over time. If no one owns this, the team starts from zero every session. Automate the repetitive inner loops. Any workflow repeated daily becomes a reusable command. A commit-push-PR cycle. A command that syncs Slack, Drive, Asana, and GitHub into one context dump. The real ROI isn’t one-off tasks — it’s packaging what gets repeated every day. Delegate bugs. Stop micromanaging how. His team pastes a Slack bug report into Claude and says “fix.” Boris noted that newer engineers — who haven’t built assumptions about what AI can’t do — use it more effectively than veterans. The mental model most people carry is now holding them back. Verification is worth more than generation. Giving Claude a way to verify its own work multiplies output quality 2–3x. His team built browser testing so Claude checks its own output before a human sees it. Don’t benchmark on speed. Benchmark on the feedback loops. The system matters more than the model. Boris uses the most capable model for everything, even though it’s slower. The “correction tax” — human attention spent fixing mistakes — is the real cost. The shared instructions, verification loops, and automated workflows are where compounding happens. This isn’t staying inside engineering. Boris built Claude Code for engineers. The first real adopters were data scientists, designers, finance, and sales. Each found their own use case. Nobody planned for it. These tools are already escaping the engineering org. ----- His workflow is, by his own admission, “surprisingly vanilla.” What makes it effective is discipline: plan rigorously, verify relentlessly, automate the repetitive, share the learnings.

Neelam Dwivedi posted this💡 In 90 days, India starts a 1.4 billion person "Sync." 💡 Imagine a dataset so large it requires 30 lakh field staff to collect. In April 2026, the 16th National Census begins. For the last 15 years, we Indian startups have been building on 2011 data. Since then: We’ve seen the UPI revolution. Smartphone penetration has exploded. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities have become the new growth engines. But we’ve been "flying blind" on the exact numbers. That changes this year. Founders, are you ready for India 2.0? India's 2026 Census: This Could Be Huge for Startups Here's something I've been thinking about lately—India is finally conducting its national census this year after a 15-year gap. And honestly, I think this might be one of the biggest opportunities for our startup ecosystem that we're not talking about enough. Let me explain why I'm excited Think about it. The last census happened in 2011. Back then, only 17% of Indians were online. UPI didn't exist. Most of us were still figuring out what a smartphone was. Fast forward to today—we have 700M+ internet users, digital payments are everywhere, and consumption patterns have completely transformed. The 2026 census is going to capture this NEW India (for Viksit Bharat). And for those of us building startups, this is essentially a massive market intelligence update we've been waiting for. Here's what I see happening: If you're building in fintech, you're about to get granular data on financial inclusion gaps in tier 2/3 cities. Imagine knowing exactly where the next 200 million users are. Edtech and healthtech folks will finally have updated numbers on education levels, digital literacy, and healthcare access patterns. No more relying on outdated assumptions. For agritech startups, fresh data on agricultural households, land patterns, and rural incomes could be game-changing for targeting and product development. E-commerce and D2C brands—think about having real consumption data and purchasing power insights to back up your expansion plans and investor decks. And there's a whole govtech opportunity here too. Someone needs to build the tools that make this data accessible and actionable for everyone. The real value? This census will help us answer questions we've been guessing at for years: Where are the truly underserved markets? Which demographics are growing fastest? How has migration changed our cities and towns? I think the smartest founders are going to start preparing now for how they'll use this data. It's not just about informing strategy—it could literally shape what we build next. With a progressive government, we can work wonders. I'm curious—what opportunities are you seeing here? Which sectors do you think will benefit most from this data? Let's discuss in the comments. Would love to hear your thoughts! #IndianStartups #Census2026 #DataDriven #StartupIndia #Innovation #IIT #IITDELHI

Neelam Dwivedi posted thisThe "AI-Native" NBFC : My IIT brain loves the AI magic tech. My Wharton brain loves the margins. Here is why the "Middle Office" of the NBFCs is about to disappear or get optimized big time. For decades, the "Middle Office" has been the graveyard of efficiency in lending - slowing down vital credit flow to our consumers and MSMEs. It’s where speed goes to die—trapped between credit sub-processes, document verification, and risk assessment. Traditionally, scaling an NBFC meant scaling headcount. More loans = more underwriters. More complexity = more analysts. More work = More creeping errors. At Omozing, we have decided to flip the script. We aren’t just "using" AI; we are rebuilding our core as an Agentic-Native NBFC powered Fintech. What does that actually mean? Most Fintechs use "Generative AI" as a fancy wrapper for a chatbot. That’s just a UI change. We are using Agentic AI to automate reasoning. Autonomous Underwriting Pods: Instead of a human manually cross-referencing salary slips, bank statements, social graphs, GST filings with bank statements, our AI Agents boost our human team to "reason" through the data. They identify patterns, flag inconsistencies, and draft the credit memo themselves. Deterministic Guardrails: Because we operate in a regulated space, "hallucinations" aren't an option. We’ve built agentic workflows that follow strict Indian lending compliance while operating at 100x human speed. The Shift from "Process" to "Outcome": Our agents don't just "alert" us to a risk; they evaluate the risk, check it against our historical recovery data, and suggest a specific mitigation strategy before the human underwriter even opens the file. The Result? 70% reduction in Turnaround Time (TAT) for loan processing. Zero increase in Middle Office headcount despite a growing loan book. Higher-Quality Decisioning: Humans are now "Reviewers," not "Data Entry Clerks." The NBFC of 2026 won't be defined by the size of its capital alone—it will be defined by its Intelligence Density. We are moving away from a company that uses AI to an AI system that runs a company. Are you still viewing AI as a "productivity tool" for your staff, or as the core architecture of your business? I’d love to hear how other founders are thinking about the "Agentic Shift." #Fintech #NBFC #AgenticAI #GenerativeAI #Omozing #Lending #DigitalTransformation #IITDelhi #Wharton

Neelam Dwivedi liked thisNeelam Dwivedi liked thisI had a wide-ranging conversation with Sai keerthi of YourStory Media recently covering the early-stage landscape, how we’re thinking about the AI stack, Deeptech, and what we’re looking for in founders. A few things I believe deeply: ➡️ The most durable AI opportunities aren't at the foundational layer. They're in vertical applications - granular, specific, outcome-driven. Think workers' compensation underwriting or personal injury call handling. Niche, but large. ➡️ The line between software and services is blurring fast. The best companies aren't selling tools anymore, they're delivering outcomes. AI gets you 80–90% there and a thin human-in-the-loop layer closes the gap. That model plays directly to India's strengths. ➡️ Consumer AI is scaling faster than most expected. This isn't just an enterprise story anymore. ➡️ Our investment philosophy remains deeply founder-first. We can walk in with a thesis, meet a founder doing something extraordinary, and our thesis goes out the window. That's not a bug - it's the feature. At Stellaris Venture Partners, we do few deals but go all in. Conviction over volume. Always. Full interview link in comments. Would love to hear your thoughts on where you see AI heading in India. 👇

Neelam Dwivedi liked thisNeelam Dwivedi liked thisI was just looking at Amazon's robot.txt file (link in comments). Interesting how specific it is in explicitly disallowing not only GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, but also ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, OAI-SearchBot, Perplexity-User, GoogleAgent-Shopping, and GoogleAgent-Mariner (fyi: Mariner is Google's agent for computer use so you can instruct AI to take over your browser and complete tasks like shopping). They seem to be generally blocking user-triggered assistants and shopping/search agents, which suggests Amazon is trying to keep any and all third-party AI systems from sitting between the shopper and Amazon. Amazon wants agentic shopping, but only on its own shopping assistant Rufus. Compare that with Walmart’s robots.txt (also in the links), which is mostly a standard list of blocked paths and does not appear to name or shut out major AI crawlers. The contrast presents an intersting story about each company's strategy as it relates to AI search and agentic shopping. Amazon makes it clear that the fight is over who owns the interface for discovery, comparison, recommendation, and all the ad dollars that come with them. Walmart is building its own shopping assistant but leaving room for someone else to become the agentic shopping platform of choice.

Neelam Dwivedi liked thisNeelam Dwivedi liked thisGrateful and humbled to see WalkingTree Technologies featured in SiliconIndia! This recognition is not just about what we’ve built so far—it reflects the journey of a passionate team that has consistently believed in pushing boundaries across AI, engineering, and real-world impact. We are at the beginning of a massive shift—from traditional AI to Agentic AI, where systems don’t just assist but reason, collaborate, and take action. Along with that, Agentic Engineering is emerging as a critical discipline—designing, orchestrating, and governing intelligent agents that can operate reliably in complex enterprise environments. At WalkingTree Technologies, we are deeply focused on this transformation: - Building multi-agent systems that integrate into real business workflows - Ensuring these systems are explainable, governed, and production-ready - Combining strong engineering rigor with cutting-edge AI capabilities As I shared in the feature—true innovation in AI is not about experiments alone, but about seamlessly integrating intelligence into real-world operations. A big thank you to our clients, partners, and our incredible team for trusting and contributing to this journey. We are learning every day, staying grounded, and striving to create meaningful impact. The future of AI is not just intelligent—it is agentic, autonomous, and engineered for reality. Thank you Abhilasha Sinha, Scott Seabolt, Suman Ravuri and team for keeping us ahead in this journey.

Happy to share with you that we launched the V2 of our APMI INSIGHTS earlier this week at our event in Delhi. Link: https://lnkd.in/d6yrVf3d We strongly believe this initiative will bring in the much needed clarity to PMS Performance Data. By moving away from the way it has traditionally been seen, the information is now presented in a format that investors and distributors can easily relate to and interpret. 1. The tool features Five “Scheme Age” Filters, highlighting the continuity of the investment approach and 2. Nine AUM Filters, which showcase growth. 3. Additionally, users can filter by the type of service offered by the Portfolio Managers-Discretionary or Non-Discretionary. 4. With 8 choices of time period-ensuring deeper insights aligned to their preferences. The latest release also features dedicated toolset to view Discretionary or Non-Discretionary scheme universe with a similar set of filters as mentioned above. This has been made possible with the guidance of Ms. Amisha Vora & Mr. Hiren Ved, the Board Representative of our Benchmarking & Valuation Committee and with the support of the entire APMI Board. We invite you to explore this initiative and are hopeful it adds value to your experience. Do write to us at feedback@apmiindia.org for your suggestions.

RBI's Digital Lending Directions 2025, released on May 8, 2025, set a new benchmark for transparency and borrower protection in India's digital lending ecosystem. Here are the key changes and their impact as I see: 1️⃣ Regulated Entity (RE)–Lending Service Provider (LSP) Arrangements with Multiple Lenders (Para 6 | Effective Nov 1, 2025) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: LSPs must display a digital view of all loan offers from multiple REs, including unmatched lenders’ names, with details like APR, loan amount, and KFS links. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Enhances borrower choice and transparency but increases product development/operations and compliance costs on LSPs in the near term. 2️⃣ Reporting Digital Lending Applications (DLA) to RBI (Para 17 | Effective Jun 15, 2025) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: REs must report all DLAs (own or LSP-operated) on RBI’s CIMS portal, certified by the Chief Compliance Officer, with updates for new/ceased DLAs. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Creates a public DLA directory, boosting transparency but adding reporting obligations. Missteps in certification could lead to regulatory scrutiny, urging REs to strengthen compliance frameworks. 3️⃣ Enhanced Due Diligence for LSPs (Para 5) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: REs must conduct thorough due diligence on LSPs’ technical capabilities, data privacy, and regulatory compliance before agreements. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: This strengthens risk management, and only serious LSPs will likely prevail, thereby making this a customer-centric and responsible market. 4️⃣ Data Storage in India (Para 13) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: All data must be stored in India; overseas processing data must return within 24 hours. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Ensures data sovereignty but increases infrastructure costs for REs/LSPs with global operations. 5️⃣ DLG Cap and Structure (Paras 23, 21) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: DLG continues to be capped at 5% of disbursed portfolio; contracts must specify cover extent, form, and invocation timeline. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Limits REs’ risk exposure and will deter smaller LSPs from offering DLG, which may be seen as dissuading smaller fintech companies, especially those where capital and portfolio risk management capabilities are not mature. 6️⃣ Disclosure of Recovery Agents (Para 8) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: REs must notify borrowers of recovery agent details via email/SMS before contact. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Enhances borrower safety but requires RE–LSP to streamline communication systems for compliance. These changes signal RBI’s push for a safer, more transparent digital lending landscape that balances innovation with consumer protection. REs and LSPs must act swiftly to align by November 2025 and June 2025 deadlines. #DigitalLending #RBI #Fintech #Banking #NBFC

A particularly thought-provoking panel at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 brought together Paula Ingabire , Terah Lyons , and John Palfrey , three perspectives that neatly captured where the AI conversation is maturing. Paula Ingabire offered a powerful development lens: AI value cannot be measured purely in monetary terms. The real question is what problems we are solving, education, healthcare, citizen services, productivity. Capability building, closed-loop ecosystems, and national self-reliance are becoming foundational priorities. Terah Lyons highlighted a critical shift: The hardest AI challenges are no longer technological, but human and institutional. Responsible scaling, use-case-level risk evaluation, and global operating models will define how AI moves from experimentation to infrastructure. John Palfrey added essential balance: AI is not a separate or magical domain. Its long-term legitimacy depends on stable regulatory regimes and human-centered design, with civil society playing an active role alongside markets and governments. Across the discussion, one theme stood out: AI strategy is increasingly about systems, governance, and societal outcomes, not just models. The conversation is evolving, and so are the stakes. #IndiaAISummit #ArtificialIntelligence #ResponsibleAI #AILeadership #Innovation

#SMSOTP Is Aging — Time to Elevate Trust The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made it clear: from April 2026, reliance on SMS OTP alone won’t cut it. New rules will allow—but also demand—stronger, more dynamic two-factor authentication ( #2FA ) to safeguard financial, e-commerce, and digital ecosystems. Why? Because SMS OTP is vulnerable to: • #SIMswap attacks • Man-in-the-middle interception • Delays or failures in delivery • Reuse or replay attacks Meanwhile, high-stakes sectors — banking, insurance, payments, e-commerce — cannot afford breach exposure, regulatory blowback, or reputational damage. That’s where #SAFrAuth steps in as the safest, most future-resilient authentication solution: What SAFr Auth Brings to the Table Feature Benefit Transaction-unique “proof of possession” (dynamic token) One-time use, tied to a transaction — no reuse or replay Multi-factor design (something you have + something you know / biometrics) Even if one factor is compromised, entire auth doesn’t collapse Device-binding & cryptographic validation Prevents cloning, impersonation, or token theft Risk/context aware checks Additional scrutiny for unusual behavior, geolocation, device changes Regulatory alignment Fully aligned with RBI’s requirement that at least one factor be dynamically created and unique per transaction Why Enterprises Should Adopt SAFr Auth Now 1. Regulatory readiness — Meet RBI’s upcoming mandate before penalties or forced transitions kick in. 2. Customer trust — Reduce fraud, enhance confidence, and reduce friction in user journeys. 3. Cost efficiency long-term — Less fraud claims, chargebacks, and remediation expense. 4. Scalability & flexibility — Can cover web, mobile, IoT, APIs — not just SMS channels. 5. Competitive edge — You can market “zero-SMS fraud” or “token-based secure 2FA” as a differentiator. If you’re a bank, insurance firm, e-commerce platform, fintech, or any organization handling sensitive or monetary transactions — don’t wait. The era of “send SMS, get OTP” is nearing its sunset. Let’s talk about how SAFr Auth can be integrated cleanly into your infrastructure, checkout flows, mobile apps, APIs, and risk engine — with minimal friction and maximum security. DM me or Daxesh Parikh to explore a pilot or proof of concept. The future of safe authentication is here — will you lead, or be forced to upgrade? #CyberSecurity #Authentication #2FA #FinTech #DigitalSecurity #BankingInnovation #RegTech #CustomerTrust #SAFrAuth

Rohit Arora, Co-Founder & CEO of Biz2X, shared his perspective on "Embedded Finance: Beyond the Frontiers of Small Business Banking." The momentum in EMFI is just beginning. Globally, the embedded finance market is projected to exceed $7 trillion by 2026. For India, where digital public infrastructure like Aadhaar, UPI, and Account Aggregators are already in place, this creates fertile ground for rapid adoption.

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. 🙌

Siddarth Pai (Partner) breaks down why fintech funding is moving away from lending-focused models and towards infrastructure, wealth, and asset management plays. He points out that credit-led fintechs once raised large sums, often using equity as a substitute for liabilities. But with profitability challenges, regulatory tightening, and incumbents catching up on tech, that model is no longer sustainable. He also underscores the logic behind Indian fintechs shifting their domicile back home: greater regulatory comfort, easier IPO access, and stronger alignment with Indian investors and markets.
