Longevity is evolving fast into one of the defining investment opportunities of the decade - buoyed by rapidly growing consumer demand and massive tailwinds in AI enabling interpretation of large amounts of data to deliver personalised care which was not possible before.
Four type of opportunities are taking shape in India and globally:
𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘀 with curated treatments, sometimes taking the shape of longevity retreats with programs running for several days or weeks, 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 with tests for prevention rather than cure, 𝗔𝗜-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 bringing together data + AI + multi disciplinary team of doctors, specialists, coaches and 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 covering supplements, wearables, devices, etc.
Just as family offices are commonplace for wealth management, it is not difficult to envision a future where every family will have a Family Health Officer to track health, hold a holistic picture, act proactively and bring in specialists at the right time. India will play a defining role - given the richness and diversity of demographic data and our unique vantage to deliver care affordably.

Construction has barely changed in decades and products like @Snaptrude are leading its transformation.

When we began working with @altafganihar, we saw a sector overdue for modernizing its workflows. With the launch of Snaptrude Agent, they've built the most advanced agent for building design with published benchmarks on real design tasks.

Congratulations to @altafganihar and the entire @snaptrude team on this milestone.

Today we're launching @snaptrude Agent, the most advanced agent for building design.

It does real design work with you, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Then can go back to your existing software with your families intact.

About a year ago we bet the company on AI. Honestly the insight came from software engineering. It wasn't long ago that autocomplete felt like a big deal, and now engineers direct agents that write a lot of the code. I think the same shift is coming to how we design buildings, and it's already started.

Most designers I meet aren't short on skill, they're short on time. Take the call every design team dreads, the client cuts the budget by 30%. Today that's a bad month for everyone. With the agent you're the director. You decide where the cost comes out, and it updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. So when design exploration gets this cheap, we go from 3 options to 300, and more options means better buildings.

Since August our users have gone through more than 140 billion tokens, and firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO, Dekker and hundreds of others use Snaptrude today. In our early access, more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent since September.

We also built a benchmark for this, AECBench, because in AEC an almost correct answer is still wrong. It gives AI the same brief an architect would get, has its design in a real BIM model, and scores the result against the brief and against how architects review design. We're publishing the first results today, link below.

Thank you @prashanthp at @Accel and Shub and the team at @foundamental for backing us when this was still a bet, and the Snaptrude team, who built every bit of this. Really proud of you all.

Thanks to our investors, @scottbelsky, @andreasklinger, @thilokonzok, @immad, @CindyXBi, @DanilaVladi, @jmwass, rahulchaudhary, @adamecourt, Zach Ginsburg, Alex duff, Paul grossinger, really appreciate all the help along the way.

A decade ago, @GeetanshBamania asked something none of us had heard before: what if people rented furniture instead of buying it? He saw a shift the rest of us hadn't, cities changing, ownership starting to feel like a burden.

Glad to have witnessed this special journey from day one.

Today, @Rentomojo goes public.

An idea about renting became a business that helped India feel at home. We look back at what it took to get here.

Congratulations to the entire team on your IPO and your own new beginning.

Energised by @narendramodi ji's address to the nation today at Red Fort!

Self-reliance has taken on new meaning in a world of constantly shifting geopolitics. Guided by the PM's mission, India is one among the few countries that started this work years ago - and the job now is to keep the momentum, especially in areas of strategic importance like semiconductors and energy.

Congratulations to PM Modi for setting out the vision so clearly, and so poetically - as Sapt Dhara.

As an investor, what I resonated with most was the vision to see Indian companies belong among the world's top 5. Our youth is among the most important groups that will get catapult our country there. Great to see that we are planning to leverage the country's digital strength to provide free coaching to the youth and the initiative to train 10 million youth in AI skills.

Happy Independence Day 2026! 🇮🇳 A step closer to Viksit Bharat 2047. 🚀

Yesterday at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, I moderated a panel on one of the more consequential questions of this moment: 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 and where 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬.

This is a topic that has changed character in just a few years. Defence spending is at record highs, every nation is rethinking how and where to build industrial bases and sovereignty is a first order concern. How startups plug into this world has never mattered more.

What made the discussion especially rich was the range of vantage points - we had views from a sovereign prime, a deep-tech manufacturing company, a strategic investor, and an Indian precision-manufacturing group with deep European roots.

I walked away from this panel genuinely assured that the intent to collaborate is very strong on both sides of the India-France relationship. To get the most from it, it will be key to zero in on a 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧. We talked about the importance of a 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡- specific regions that already hold supply chain advantages are the ones that can move the needle on advancement of specific tech. We also discussed a concrete and seemingly easy example of 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬  - by placing advanced manufacturing equipment directly into universities so that students learn on real machines, not just in theory.

Grateful to François-Régis Boulvert, Clémentine Gallet, Florent Illat and Mohamed Bouzidi for a candid and generous conversation.
