Speaking about Founders’ Adda session, Ms. Archana Jahagirdar, Founder & Managing Partner, Rukam Capital said, “AI is no longer the next wave of innovation; it is already a horizontal force transforming every industry. The opportunity is not merely funding experimentation, but in backing founders who are building scalable, commercially viable AI solutions that address real world problems. At Rukam Capital, we believe the most valuable insights come directly from operators who are building and scaling in real time. Founders’ Adda is designed as a safe, high-trust experience where AI founders can openly discuss what’s working, what’s breaking, and what it truly takes to build production-grade AI companies from India for the world.”
Through curated, high-trust conversations and a founder-first forum, Rukam Capital continues to strengthen its commitment to backing and building India’s AI ecosystem and supporting very early-stage start-ups.
