What a day! Discussed Direct democracy ("netocracy" as Nishith Desai say), met a LOT of bitcoin enthusiasts - of course starting with the one and only Tim Draper, ideas on trust, governance, use of AI, Elon Musk and will there be a need for sovereign nations in the future. One of those days that plants many seeds, than give the answers 😊 Also got a chance to visit this incredible "thinking - ideating" facility called Imaginarium AliGunjan created by Nishith Desai Associates in Alibag. Thanks to Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM) for giving such opportunities!

Blue Skying with Tim Draper & Nishith Desai at Alibaug!

What a privilege it was to meet and listen to the legendary Tim Draper in person ! His insights on innovation, venture capital, and the future of technology were nothing short of inspiring.  Equally rewarding was the time spent with the visionary Nishith Bhai, whose thought leadership continues to set new benchmarks in the legal and entrepreneurial ecosystems.  The setting at Imaginarium AliGunjan was perfect—a creative haven where some of the most successful founders and innovators came together to exchange ideas, share stories, and spark inspiration.  To cap off this incredible experience, I continued the tradition of visiting Swati Snacks for a wholesome meal with friends. There’s something about this ritual that adds warmth and camaraderie to these journeys—good food, great conversations, and unforgettable memories!  It’s moments like these that remind me why I am so passionate about supporting founders in their journeys of building transformative businesses. Here’s to more such enriching experiences, meaningful connections, and collaborations that will shape the future! 🚀  Suril Desai Sapan Kadakia Trupti Sharma Ranu Vohra Naveen Raju Ashish Shah Aniket Deb Asha Jadeja Shloka Shetty Roli Gupta Gaurav Saboo TiE Mumbai Mihir Parikh Raj Nair #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #TimDraper #NishithDesai #Networking #VentureCapital #ImaginariumAlibag #Founders #GrowthCapVentures #SwatiSnacks #Traditions #GoodFoodGreatConversations
