​Inside the Build: Platform Thinking in the Age of AI
A private, invite-only lunch for founders and operators

Join us in Bangalore for a curated lunch with a small group of founders and operators for a candid conversation on building horizontal AI platforms.

​Hosted by Pratyush (Activate), joined by Vijay Rayapati (Founder, Atomicwork) as a special guest., we’ll unpack what it really takes to build and scale platform-first companies in today’s AI landscape, from identifying wedge use-cases to expanding into multi-product ecosystems.

​The discussion will focus on platform thinking: what defines a true horizontal AI play, how to navigate early GTM with a platform vision, and the trade-offs between depth vs breadth as you scale. We’ll also dive into Enterprise GTM motions that unlock distribution, how to position in an increasingly crowded AI market, and the signals that indicate you’re building something durable.

​Expect a sharp, operator-first room, honest insights, and a strong bias toward practical frameworks over theory.
