Prashanth Prakash shared thisModern medicine is great at treating the sick - but less so at keeping the healthy from getting sick. A real treat hosting Matt Kaeberlein on Episode 11 of Biopeak Live with Prof. Deepak Saini. Matt is a professor at the University of Washington, Co-Director of the Dog Aging Project, and founder of Ora Biomedical — and we sat down for a wide-ranging conversation centered around longevity. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭: • 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝟒.𝟎 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞. It's about engineering healthspan.

Prashanth Prakash shared thisTruly energising, insightful and authentic conversation with Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO at Uber. Conversations like this deserve to be shared widely. Dara has thought deeply about every dimension of building and running one of the world’s most complex companies - here are some of my biggest takeaways: •𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕 𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒔:Dara set a clear priority for his teams and built a pervasive culture that celebrated unit economics as fiercely as it did big, bold moonshots. Dara picked his next rung of leadership from people who enjoyed this grind, not just tolerated it. • 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒆:This underpins his success as a CEO operating 18 lines of business. Just like the porpoise, stay on the surface for the most part, but went you get into the details get so deep so that you get to the bottom. As a founder or CEO, you need to breathe, so stay on the surface to survive but choose your dives carefully and strategically. • 𝑭𝒖𝒍𝒍-𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎: starting at 8am and ending at 5pm. This is a chance to get deep into details which each of his businesses and nothing is off the table. This is a chance to not just discuss what is going well but, more importantly, to discuss what is not going well. • #1 𝒐𝒓 #2 𝒐𝒓 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚:As a company that has operated in 70+ countries, Dara underscored that being #3 or #4 in a market is simply not an option. His predecessor established a starting position in most markets, Dara took a call on where Uber could get to #1 or #2 and, therefore, whether to double down. Uber’s success in India came from embracing how different this market was from others - and taking advantage of its cost architecture. Competition from India is among that best that Uber has seen - it is keeps them on their toes and pushes them to be better everyday. • 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂’𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 - 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔: Closer to home, Dara was genuinely struck by India’s ONDC initiative. The energy and urgency these teams brought to problem-solving rivalled the best startups - a refreshing contrast to how government and innovation are often assumed to sit in opposition.

Prashanth Prakash reposted thisPrashanth Prakash reposted thisWe recently hosted a closed-door conversation with some of India's top consumer tech founders. This post continues the learnings we shared a few days back. Shekhar Kirani, Partner at Accel, walked the room through the four stages every company moves through on the path to AI transformation. Most Indian companies are stuck somewhere between stage one and stage two. The four stages are in the carousel. A few patterns stood out across the companies furthest along: → One co-founder fully dedicated to the transformation, leading a team of 5 to 10 enthusiasts. The rest of the founding team runs the business. → Individual productivity and company-level automation in parallel. Pick one slice of the business, automate it end-to-end, use it as proof, then expand. → Hiring freezes unless the team can show AI is being used.

Prashanth Prakash shared thisOn Saturday, I joined Manoj Kumar, founder of Social Alpha and someone I have known for a long time for a fireside chat. We discussed how India’s large, hairy problems in deep science and deep tech will neccesitate a new approach to capital deployment. Social Alpha’s first-in-the-world unique model brings together equity infusion first and then grants to ensure India’s strongest ideas move swiftly from the lab to communities. The outcomes speak for themselves- 20+ MedTech innovations, distibuted renewal energy for 375,000 households, 150,000MT waste diverted from landfills and affodable technologies for 200,000+ smallholder farmers. Congratulations to the Social Alpha team on 10 successful years, wish you more impact at population scale in the coming years!

Prashanth Prakash shared thisIt was great to bring Accel in India's consumer-tech founders to host an AI roundtable with Shekhar Kirani and Binny Bansal. If you are a founder keen to advance on AI in your organisation, the best place to start is by building yourself. We discussed solutions deployed enterprise wide and beyond engineering - across marketing, finance, HR, organisational reviews. I am excited to continue the conversations with CTOs next and then functional leaders. Ankit N.

Vidhya Ananthakrishnan • Vishwajit SasiPrashanth Prakash shared thisLast week, we hosted a closed-door roundtable on AI for consumer tech brands — a candid conversation with founders on how they're adopting AI in their organisations and what it actually takes to institutionalize it. Prashanth Prakash and Shekhar Kirani, Partners at Accel, and Binny Bansal, Co-founder of Flipkart, hosted the session. One idea kept coming up: high standards are not inherently transferable. You cannot hold your team accountable for AI fluency if you haven't used it yourself. The carousel below captures what the room said. Over the next few days, we’ll share more on what we heard about how founders can adopt AI and how they can get their teams to move.

Prashanth Prakash liked thisPrashanth Prakash liked thisWhat does aging look like for Indians? 📢 We are excited to share our latest publication on the BHARAT Study, India’s first large-scale study on understanding biological markers of aging. Most of what we know about aging comes from studies of Western populations. These datasets shape aging clocks, disease risk predictors, and even clinical benchmarks used in India today. But, India is incredibly diverse in terms of ancestry, diet, lifestyle, and environment. The BHARAT Study (Biomarkers of Healthy Aging, Resilience, Adversity, and Transitions) is India’s first large-scale effort to build a dataset that truly reflects aging in Indian populations. Conducted by the Longevity India Initiative at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, the study brings together hospitals, clinical centres, community organisations, and industry partners to enable large-scale, high-quality data collection across diverse populations. Using a multi-omics approach, the study looks at multiple layers of biology, from DNA changes caused by environment and lifestyle, to immune function and gut microbiome. These are combined with clinical and lifestyle data to build a more complete picture of health and aging. The BHARAT Study is thus developing the datasets needed to understand aging in Indian contexts. 👇 Check out our recently published article to learn more about how the BHARAT Study recruits participants, collects samples, and integrates clinical, lifestyle, and molecular data to study aging in India. 🔗 Link to the Study: https://lnkd.in/gqir688G Suramya Asthana, PhD, Amruth Bhat, Gayathri Mahadevan, Dr. Lakshmi Kothegala, Swati Negi, Seema Yadav, Anupama Sudhakaran, Annwesha Roy, Meet Makwana, Rahul Patel, Harshavardhan Rao B, Caroline Elizabeth George, Srimonta Gayen, Shantanu Shukla, Siddharth Jhunjhunwala, Prosenjit Sen, Prabhdeep Kaur, Ramray Bhat, Deepak Saini Clinical Partners: Dr. Sathish Babu K N (Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research); Dr Anil Bilimale, (JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research), Dr Lakshmi Nagendra (JSS Medical College, Mysore) Industry Partners: Darshit Patel (Decode Age); John Mulder (Diagnoptics); Gaurav Agarwal, (Tata 1mg); Vandana Lal, Alok Sharma, (Dr Lal Path Labs), Rohit Rajan (Arca AI); We are extremely grateful to our Patrons: Prashanth Prakash, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Kris Gopalakrishnan and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)

Prashanth Prakash liked thisPrashanth Prakash liked thisBittersweet to see Kodubale on national shelves. Sweet - because an FMCG giant like ITC Limited choosing to launch Kodubale is a big moment for Karnataka’s food culture. A humble snack from our homes and bakeries is finally getting the spotlight it deserves. (Kodu = horn. Bale = bangle. It mimics the bangles that farmers put around the horns of cows during the spring harvest festival The snack is literally shaped like a horned bangle ❤️) For smaller regional brands like Adukale, this moment feels personal too. For years, brands like ours have worked quietly to preserve, package, and take traditional Karnataka snacks to newer audiences. Seeing the category get national visibility validates that effort. But also a little bitter. Kodubale is an indulgence. A delicious, fried, nostalgic indulgence. And that’s okay. Not every snack needs to wear a health halo. Calling it a “source of protein” feels like the wrong conversation to start with consumers. I wish large companies celebrated these foods for what they truly are - culture, craft, memory, flavour, and joy - with honesty in messaging. India’s regional snacks deserve national pride. Not nutritional gymnastics.
