From our PearX S25 cohort, meet Pravāh, the AI-native operating system for the electric grid When Mohak Mangal, Dhruv Suri, and Aman Gupta looked at the strain on the U.S. electric grid, they saw a system pushed to its limits. Exploding demand and unpredictable supply have made blackouts increasingly common. This costs the economy more than $150B a year, a number that could 10x in the next five years. Mohak Mangal and team founded Pravāh to help fix it. Their platform helps utilities and grid operators make real-time decisions on load, generation, and congestion, reducing blackout risks, optimizing power procurement, and bringing much-needed stability to the backbone of modern life. We’re proud to support the Pravāh team as they take on one of the toughest and most important infrastructure challenges of our time.

Happy new year! with our Investment no: 12💪🎉🎉👏👏 AI chips today do not fail because of lack of compute. They fail because they cannot breathe. Delighted to share that we have invested in Sidix, a fabless semiconductor startup building chip scale fully silicon cooling solutions, based out of Odisha. As power density on chips has gone vertical, cooling has quietly become the limiting factor. Compute can scale. Transistors can scale. But heat removal has not kept pace. Sidix is attacking this problem at the chip surface itself using a beautifully engineered silicon native MEMS approach to solid state cooling. This is first principles engineering at work. Micromachined silicon actuators that enable airflow generation and heat removal exactly where it matters. The result is meaningfully higher output per unit area, better efficiency, and the ability to run advanced CPUs GPUs memories and transceivers at lower temperatures with higher reliability. This is not just a better thermal solution. It has direct P & L impact across data centres and electronics systems globally. We love Sidix for how we like to invest a99 VC . Deep manufacturing led innovation. Serious MEMS pedigree. Global relevance from day one. And a team that understands both physics and markets. Excited to partner with Arun Rambhatla , Siavash Pourkamali , and the Sidix team as they help the industrial century run a little cooler. This also marks our third investment from the rapidly emerging Odisha manufacturing and deep tech ecosystem. The map is widening and the depth is getting real. Thanks to the boss Asha Venugopal and the boss’s lady Varsha Shivaraj for getting this deal done despite the bumps! Let the cool waves begin!

As fleet operators scale, safety can’t be an afterthought — it must be the foundation. Drunk driving continues to be one of the biggest and most preventable causes of on-road incidents. As founders, we’ve always believed that fleet technology should do more than track vehicles — it should safeguard the people who drive them. Drunk-driving prevention systems like DADSS & AI-based DMS are no longer optional for commercial fleets. They’re essential tools for creating safer roads and responsible businesses.

🚗🤝🤖 Sharing Some Initial Thoughts: Uber, Lucid Motors & Nuro Team Up on Autonomous Vehicles 🚙 News just dropped about Uber, Lucid Motors, and Nuro partnering to roll out 20,000 autonomous vehicles, with the launch city still under wraps. Here’s my take: 🛠️ For Lucid Motors, the partnership offers a timely boost—a helpful, if modest, step given the scale of auto manufacturing. 🤖 Nuro benefits by bringing its technology to passenger vehicles, gaining valuable credibility beyond its delivery roots. 🚕 Uber likely sees this as a relatively small move in its broader global operations and intent to become a transaction aggregator. With traditional OEMs struggling to break into autonomous vehicles, Lucid’s approach might become a new reference point for others. Mad Hatter Consulting #mobility #autonomousvehicles #rideshare
