#AI #Investment alert. We congratulate and welcome Karthik Nandyal Saumil Annegiri and the CredCore team to the Avataar fold. CredCore's proprietary AI SLM, purpose-built for the debt domain, an industry that has historically been fragmented and slow to innovate, addresses a critical need for efficiency in capital deployment and decision-making processes. It is already helping customers break through the status quo to vastly improve team productivity and speed to market, thereby setting up for massive AUM growth (as has been witnessed for equities over the past 30+ years). Karthik and Saumil��s shared vision with the combination of leadership experience and industry knowledge make them well-suited to navigate the complexities of the financial services market. We're proud to see what the team has achieved in a short time and our? #OperatingVC model will support them to scale faster in the coming years.

Ship now, fix later? Sudheer Koneru of Zenoti flipped this maxim on its head. He fixed first and then shipped. Sudheer invested significant time in building software tailored to the needs of spas much to the frustration of some of his early employees wondering when the startup would start selling and get the business going. But it was because of the hard choice of fixing the product first that getting to that early $5M revenue was not very hard for the company. ��We got there very fast once we started selling because our software was so tailored and there was nobody else who had built as good a software for exactly that target customer,�� says Sudheer. Zenoti offers software for spas and salons across 50 countries to manage and digitize appointments, handle point-of-sale operations, and take care of payment and inventory management. Find out more about Sudheer��s hard choices that finally paid off in our ��Built to Last Journey�� report.

"A lion never asks for an equal playing field," believes serial entrepreneur Nishant Singh of BUSINESSNEXT. He says challenging the status quo is a trait he inherited from his father, who was part of the team of agriculture scientists behind the Green Revolution that began in the 60s in India. Thus, when he started building BUSINESSNEXT in 2003, it was with the belief that India could be put on the Product Nation map despite the prevailing sentiment that it was a big challenge for businesses to build world-class products from India. In the last two decades of building a formidable global CRM business for the banking and finance industry, BUSINESSNEXT has its eyes set on the summit.

What does it take for companies to scale to $100M? ��The journey from $10M to $50M is people-driven, not process-driven. These people have so much context because they work closely with the founders. However, the journey from $50M to $100M is largely about putting together the next layer of infrastructure. It is more of an internal transformation process as founders.��: Baskar Subramanian, Co-founder Amagi Corporation.

While AI is disrupting software industries like BPOs, IT Services, and SaaS, it's also disrupting the physical world �C Robotics and Industrial Automation are being re-imagined with AI. The investment and valuation models are getting disrupted with... New outcome-based pricing Larger cheque sizes to create moats Lower gross margins due to computing costs Higher data security costs ? At Avataar, we invested in three AI companies in software (interface.ai, LambdaTest, & CredCore) and another two in the physical world AI (to be disclosed soon). We expect this trend to accelerate as AI challenge permeates every industry. We are also doubling down on our India B2B2C companies, having invested in InsuranceDekho, Finnova, and Chalo.
