B. Talvinder is a serial founder (ex-OYO, YC, 500 Startups) who writes about AI in production, infrastructure investing, and the India tech ecosystem. Frameworks, build logs, and field notes from eighteen years of building companies.
The best returns in technology come from owning the infrastructure, not the applications.
I name patterns in AI, infrastructure, and the India tech ecosystem. Then I stress-test them against what I’m actually building.
