The pictures you see below were taken 8 years apart. ?
The image at the top is from PNgrowth (2015), where a group of founders gathered for a highly curated knowledge exchange at the Signature Club Resort in Bangalore.
The one below it is SaaSBoomi‘s #AIBootcamp (2024), where about 80 early-stage AI SaaS startups gathered for a 3-day immersive experience, at the same venue.
Both these pictures share a common theme.
The one from 2015 includes a handful of founders who now define the benchmark for India SaaS.
The one from 2024 includes a handful of founders who, I am sure, will redefine the benchmark for India SaaS in an AI-first world within the next 5 years.
My deepest gratitude goes to all the startup founders, facilitators, partners, volunteers, and organizers who ensured that our AI Bootcamp ’24 delivered everything we imagined and more.
Despite being a decade apart, I reckon that highly contextual session curation and a limited audience have stood the test of time. It still proves to be a formula for high focus, audience engagement, and NPS.
However, let me remind you that AI is the trend that we are seeing today. While it may last for the next decade, evolving into some other terminology or mode of operations, our core vision should remain unshaken.
A vision to make India a Product Nation. A vision to keep going back to where it all began.
Hope y’all are with me on this.
On that note, we are now all set for our third edition, with passes available at a super early bird price that expires in the next two days. APPLY >> https://saasboomi.org/events/caravan-24/
While we provide playbooks for the Indian market, the US market is very different. With good people and luck on our side, Caravan has evolved into a supportive community for Indian founders building for the US.
Hope you can make it to Caravan ’24! 🙂
