Every AI product eventually becomes an infrastructure problem. Tokens are getting cheaper, but they still run on GPUs, power, networks, and the software that keeps it all reliable. In 2026, that layer is the scarcest part of the stack. Hyperscalers are spending more than ever and still can't build fast enough. GPU and memory prices are rising, not falling. India sits at a fascinating point in this story. It generates nearly a fifth of the world's data but hosts only a sliver of global data centre capacity. That gap is now drawing some of the largest cheques in Indian tech history: hyperscaler buildouts, the IndiaAI Mission, and a new generation of homegrown AI clouds. Neysa is among the most ambitious of them: it is home to one of India's largest GPU rollouts, and along the way it has built a full-stack AI cloud spanning GPU compute, inference, orchestration, and AI security. The conversation For this edition of AI Tuesdays, we are going under the hood of the full AI stack, from silicon to applied AI, with the people who build it every day. Join us for a candid fireside chat between Anindya Das, Co-founder of Neysa, and Ritesh Dhoot, CTO/EVP Engineering at Neysa, in conversation with Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Partner at Nexus Venture Partners. Anindya has spent more than two decades designing and scaling cloud and network infrastructure, including years as a technology leader at Netmagic and NTT, before co-founding Neysa. Ritesh brings over two decades of building engineering organisations, including founding Agricx, an AI and deep learning platform for agricultural quality assessment, and scaling engineering hubs at Cisco, H1, Orange Health Labs, and BYJU'S. What we'll explore From GPUs to a cloud: What separates renting out GPUs from running a production AI cloud? Where do orchestration, observability, security, and uptime actually get hard? Building through a compute crunch: How do you secure capacity when lead times stretch into quarters, Hopper is being retired, an

Few decisions shape a startup as lastingly as its first twenty hires. Those people set the pace, the standards and the culture that everyone after them inherits. Yet most founders build their early teams through instinct and urgency rather than design. For the next edition of FoundrPwr, Mela Ventures is hosting Phanindra (Phani) Sama, co-founder and former CEO of redBus, for a conversation on building exceptional teams. Phani built redBus from a small team of engineers into a company that led India's online bus ticketing market and became one of the country's earliest notable startup exits. He brings an unusually wide view of talent. As an angel investor and advisor, he has watched teams form and grow across many early-stage companies. Through his work in youth skilling, he has also seen how capable professionals are developed from the ground up. What the conversation will cover What distinguishes great early teams, and how founders can assemble one before they have a brand, a large budget or a proven product How to attract strong people to an unproven company, and what keeps them there once the early excitement fades The practices, norms and structures founders should put in place from the start How hiring, leadership and culture need to change as a startup grows from a handful of people into a larger organisation Who should attend Founders of early-stage companies Founders making their first key hires or preparing to scale their teams Operators and early employees building functions within startups About the speaker Phanindra Sama co-founded redBus in 2006 after he could not find a bus ticket home from Bengaluru one Diwali weekend. He led the company as CEO until its acquisition by the ibibo Group in 2013. He later served as Chief Innovation Officer for the Government of Telangana. Much of Phani's recent work has focused on preparing young people for employment. He co-founded Kakatiya Sandbox, which supports innovation, entrepreneurship and skill development in
