We believe India is set to become the AI GCC of the world's startup, and we need new AI-native players who will extrapolate India's competency in IT services towards becoming an AI-native technology services destination for the global startup.
Working on a Buyer's Agent - see a HUGE opportunity to help buyers find the product they want and to negotiate the terms they want to pay. Anywhere from traditional commerce to travel, vehicles, etc. AI tools enabling consumers to budget, forecast, and shop on behalf of the consumer to make the best deals for their households and budgets. The consumer side is easy = the seller side is hard. Making deals that work for both. But with skyrocketing CAC's for business, we can send consumers direct to shops or shop from an app and bypass the marketplaces and platforms saving sellers 10-30% and delivering a better CAC to drive profitability.
Read: the era of everything is negotiable is here.
Congratulations to All - Meaningful and insightful!
A few comments below..
On #4 Pricing - To be able to pay for real, truly qualified meetings, instead of paying for a promise, and hope it works.
On #6 Optimize for me - The true individual value proposition we all hope for.
On #9 Curation - To spend your valuable time quickly finding what you’re looking to view, instead of spending 80% of your time on the search aspect.
On #11 Fat AI startups - Less miscommunication, and more purpose driven clarity = Real impact.
On #12 AI for Civilization - Hopefully, there will finally be a solution to solve loneliness!! Especially, for the elderly, which society seems to displace without a second thought.
Insightful post! One more idea I’m building - AI Recruiter! I believe the future of hiring or looking for a job will change. Every hiring manager or candidate will have a personalised AI recruiter working for them!
so big ideas are agents, gaming, and personalization... kind of underwhelming. would like to see more towards Marcus Segal's #12 "AI will become a 'civilization' level technology"
#5 - Not sure about AI Native University but I am building a AI native school for Indian education system. Starting with current curriculum and then expanding it so that AI can tune the course and decide on what courses, subjects to learn to be relevant in future. Building https://www.naviya.school/ for this.
loved #13 and #14 from Lejla and Kenan!
2026 will be the year when human friendly consumer ai will win.

#13 is my favorite, and arguably the most important.
