If you’re attending AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) in Chennai on March 19–20, one small founder tip: don’t walk in unplanned. The event sits inside the broader AIBoomi Annual ’26 week in Chennai, and the agenda spans mainstage plus multiple parallel spaces, so it can get overwhelming fast. My suggestion: Block your calendar in advance. Pick the mainstage sessions you really want, then map the other rooms, side meetings, and catch-ups around them. And when you meet people, switch on your B2Brain 🧠 Not every conversation is just networking. Prep for conversations, capture context, and think more clearly about who could become a customer, partner, investor, or strategic connection after the event. Best events are not about meeting the most people. They are about leaving with the right conversations and the right follow-ups. Plan the rooms. Plan the people. Plan the follow-up. #AIBoomi #Chennai #Founders #B2B #Networking #AI #Startups AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) Avinash Raghava

Israeli observability startup Coralogix has raised $115 million in a Series E round, becoming a unicorn with a valuation of over $1 billion. Coralogix offers a full-stack observability and security platform that helps companies understand and resolve complex issues in their data streams. The company has developed an AI agent, Olly, which uses a semantic layer over internal and external data to automate data observability and provide sophisticated insights through simple text prompts. The all-equity round was led by NewView Capital, with participation from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments | Investissements RPC) and NextEquity Partners, alongside existing investors. The funding will be used to expand its engineering base in India, with a planned $100M investment over five years, and to further develop its AI agent. Congratulations to co-founder and CEO Ariel Assaraf and the Coralogix team.

This is not a comment about Zoho's specific solution, so don't @me ;). What IS worth highlighting is this strategic move in the face of AI. Zoho seems to be asking: what is a CRM? Just a database for customer data, if AI agents can groove customer marketing workflows? Zoho seemingly aims to avoid disruption by elevating itself to "an operating system for business". The strategic move highlights how AI changes the game and how horizontal providers especially need to get ahead to not get left behind. Making AI a strength not a threat is something we at TCP do every day with our partner companies - we love nuggets from every case study we can find to help us help software mgmt teams build great companies!

It’s unfortunate that stories like this drown out the genuine efforts of founders building honest AI solutions that solve real-world problems. The noise can be overwhelming, but the antidote is simple: Build quietly, deliver consistently, and let real results speak louder than press releases. Hype is temporary. Integrity isn't. Shortcuts always catch up—and the cost is real. It’s time tech chose ethics over ambition.

Excited to share that our journey with DentNode has been featured in Inc42 Media's latest story: “The New Garage: OpenClaw And India’s DIY AI Agent Boom.” 🔗 Article: https://lnkd.in/gQbBHMxH The piece highlights how builders across India are experimenting with AI agents and automation to solve real-world operational problems. OpenClaw and similar frameworks are enabling a new generation of developers to build systems that don’t just chat — they actually do work. Our story in the article starts from a very personal place. I left my engineering role in Bengaluru to work with my father’s dental lab and saw the inefficiencies firsthand — labs juggling multiple scanner portals, downloading patient scans manually, and struggling with fragmented workflows. That experience led to building DentNode — a platform designed to streamline the workflow between dentists, labs, and digital dentistry tools. Being featured alongside this new wave of AI builders is exciting. We’re just getting started. If you’re working in digital dentistry, dental labs, scanners, or aligner manufacturing, I’d love to connect and learn from you. #AI #Startups #DentTech #DigitalDentistry #OpenClaw #DentNode #BuildInPublic #IndianStartups
