All of us at BCV would like to congratulate Rubrik’s founding CEO Bipul Sinha, founding CTO Arvind Nithrakashyap, and their two other original co-founders, Arvind Jain and Soham Mazumdar, along with the rest of the Rubrik team on their initial public offering today. Rubrik has significantly transformed the landscape of digital resilience, expertly transitioning the concept of data protection into a broader, more critical framework of data security. This shift has not only captivated the interest of customers worldwide but has also positioned their solutions as indispensable tools for modern businesses. Transitions are never easy, but as a board member for the past five years, I have seen Rubrik seamlessly navigate this complex process under the visionary leadership of Bipul and Nitro. Today marks another milestone in Rubrik's journey, a testament to the team's hard work, innovation, and the strong direction provided by its leaders. The emphasis on securing data not just from loss, but as a proactive measure against threats, shows Rubrik's commitment to redefining the industry's standards for data security. cc: Bain Capital Ventures Rubrik

Artificial Intelligence ("AI") holds the promise of streamlining and standardizing lending processes. In a recent discussion with Global Finance Magazine, Sandeep Vishnu, Partner at Capco, emphasizes the importance of economic resilience in managing interest rates and the revolutionary impact of GenAI. He mentions that "A GenAI bot could produce the first draft of a credit narrative in 60 seconds," which could drastically shorten loan processing durations. Nevertheless, a number of bankers in the US express concerns about possible regulatory challenges, fearing that hefty fines might surpass the benefits of increased efficiency.

US markets are undergoing a significant change from today and its something we have been doing in India for over a year now..... 🚀 🚀 🚀 US is moving to a T+1 day settlement - the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule in February 2023 to shorten the settlement cycle for securities transactions from two business days after the trade to one, beginning on Tuesday. Dubbed T+1, the move, which spans equities and corporate bonds, is expected by regulators and market participants to bring several benefits such as a reduction in counterparty risk and an increase in capital and margin efficiencies. Participants in much of the rest of the world are still settling on T+2 So whats the rest of the world upto: US , Canada and Mexico - Start T+1 on May 27/28 EU - evaluating and looking to follow the US UK - Britain is also looking to speed up settlement in its markets with expectations that a switch could happen between 2025 and 2026 India - Evaluating T+0 settlment China - stock settlement is T+0 and T+1 for cash settlement Rest of Asia is mostly still on T+2, assessing and waiting to see how markets that have already made the leap get on SEBIs foresightedness and the Fintech magic in India has truly made us leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world!! #proud #Fintech #India https://lnkd.in/dP-XUn_Z

Thanks again to Amit Chowdhry for the Pulse 2.0 write-up where we discussed Thomson Reuters Ventures' evolving investment thesis, significant milestones, and reflected on past investment success stories like Kahoot!. It’s very cool to see my daughter, now a teacher, still using Kahoot in her classroom! We started TR Ventures in January 2022 and have completed 17 investments in just two years. Since inception, we’ve leaned more into AI with a vertical focus, particularly in areas like tax and legal industries that benefit significantly from early-stage AI technology. Looking ahead, my goals are to ensure a strong return for the fund and to bring early tech signals into our product and engineering teams. These efforts will not only enhance our strategic direction but also strengthen our ability to innovate and lead in the tech space. 📣 MDs, what goals are you focusing on over the next 12 months? #VentureCapital #Innovation #AI #Startups #TechLeadership
