SHAKTI reposted this
On the newest 💫 SHAKTI Pulse 💫 John Chen, former CEO of BlackBerry, and Sybase From electrical engineer to technology visionary, with a knack for turning around iconic companies like Sybase (bringing it from a market cap of $300M to selling to SAP for ~$6B) and BlackBerry (from revolutionary smartphone to leading cybersecurity software). As a SHAKTI Titan & CEO coach, John is sharing his wisdom to help the next generation of leaders. 💡 John’s insights ✔ For any stage company, the top priority is finding the right people and managing talent ✔ The true value of AI lies in how it generates revenue and delivers benefits to customers, not just the hype surrounding it ✔ When facing technological change, 80/20 is a good rule of thumb - 80% of resources go to keeping the customer happy, and 20% to new ideas ✔ When building a board, surround yourself with those who understand the difference between advisory and management 🎥 youtube.com/@shaktivcpulse

Welcome to the team, Jesse Haines 🌟
Investing in founders reimagining global habits with new tech infrastructure. 30+yrs. in Silicon Valley as Engineer -> Product Mgr. -> Entrepreneur -> VC.
It helps to be lucky, repeatedly. This is especially true when one gets to collaborate with exceptional people more than once in the same lifetime. In venture capital, much like any team sport, “repeat business” is the ultimate sign of trust & respect. Even when Founders, VCs & LPs make money together, it’s not a given they will collaborate again because working together for years truly reveals character. Once may be accidental, twice is a conscious decision. Today, we got lucky again because one of my collaborators from Google whom I have admired for 2 decades & always wished to partner again is choosing to do just that. Welcome Jesse Haines to SHAKTI!! After nearly two decades of illustrious leadership at Google, Jesse is joining Elizabeth Harrow and I to help our customers (Founders & LPs) build category leading companies from concept through IPO. Going from zero to billion is a journey that Jesse has traveled many times across Google’s consumer & commercial businesses. Jesse is a unique leader who’s equally comfortable engaging with small teams across engineering & product on “Day 1” as well with large cross-functional teams scaling to thousands with senior stakeholders in business & government. And just as with everything in the VC business, Jesse’s career is a portfolio - spanning from entrepreneur to educator to management consultant and operator. I can’t wait for our community to meet Jesse and experience the joy of collaborating with her and benefit from her portfolio of experiences, just as I have. Thank you Jesse for the repeat business!!

Madhav Krishna, Founder and CEO of Vahan, discusses India's growing AI market and the disparity between the available AI professionals and the industry's demands. Vahan uses AI to help businesses hire blue and grey collar workers efficiently and effectively. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/djtduQxi #thefutureofAI #hiring #India
Founder & CEO @ Vahan.ai | Creating opportunities for India’s 300M+ blue-collar workers | AI expert passionate about large scale impact | Backed by Y Combinator, Khosla | Hiring—DM for opportunities
Reports and industry insiders suggest that only a little under 2,100 individuals in India have core AI skills, while the demand is much larger. And the gap between the number of AI professionals and the industry's needs will keep widening, creating a significant bottleneck for growth, unless something is done. While some think AI will only lead to job losses, I am confident that India has the young talent required for the next AI revolution if properly skilled. My thoughts were published by Forbes India here:

🌟 Congratulations to Nikhil Naikal, Sander Marques, Christopher Weber, and the entire Kinetic team!🌟 Having been with Nikhil since the beginning, we are thrilled to continue being a part of Kinetic's journey. When Nikhil was just starting to build Kinetic, we asked him out of all the things to do professionally, why start Kinetic? "Like many other Bay Area residents, the reality of climate change hit home for me after the “orange sky day” following the record-setting wildfires in September 2020. It mobilized me and I started thinking of ways to leverage my background and skills in the automotive sector to help accelerate the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles. I have always been intellectually excited by infra technologies that can support vibrant app ecosystems. Keval Desai had given me the best framing for this when he explained his thesis on the yin and yang of infra vs. killer apps. All these nebulous ideas finally distilled into the founding of Kinetic." Discover how Kinetic is revolutionizing the fleet of the future. 🚘 🤖 #Electricvehicles #vehiclerepair #AI #futureproof
I am delighted to share that Kinetic has closed a Series-B financing of $21M led by Shawn Carolan at Menlo Ventures with participation from our main insiders, including Bilal Zuberi, Rachel Holt and Semil Shah. We also had the strategic venture arms of Liberty Mutual Insurance and Allstate join the round. Cars are transitioning from being mechanically complex to being digitally complex. Modern cars have around 100 million lines of code, thousands of semiconductor chips, and dozens of sensors, making repair extremely challenging. And yet, the automotive aftermarket has lacked technological innovation and investment for decades. Kinetic is changing that. Lora Kolodny at CNBC wrote a fantastic article about Kinetic and our fundraise that you can read here: https://lnkd.in/gErhFbra We are expanding our footprint aggressively. Our technology has been tested in multiple cities, and we are at the tipping point of a massive scale-up. Read about our plans on our blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gdmd_Cv9 Our journey would not be possible without an incredible team. Having humble and ambitious teammates with high grit and intellectual curiosity is an honor. If you believe you embody these traits, Kinetic is the right place for you!

What makes a great board member? Elizabeth Harrow sat down with SHAKTI Titan and former Vice Chairman of Investment Banking at JPMorgan Chase & Co., Cristina Morgan, to delve into the topic of board members and what makes them stand out. Hear Cristina's thoughts on building a board, the state of the IPO market, and advice for women in business at SHAKTI Pulse (https://lnkd.in/g77swvTT). Cristina's Board Member Must Haves: 1. Former operating executives make exceptional board members. Someone that has been in the founder's shoes once or twice before is great to learn from. 2. Add value or get out. Everyone chosen should serve a particular role. 3. Behavior, communication, and ethics MATTER! What do you think makes a good board member? Comment down below! #boardmembers #privatemarkets #IPOcycle
