    Base, PRED, and Building Onchain in India | Stream 123

    On The Offline Network, we sit down with the founders, investors and operators shaping Indian technology. In this conversation, we bring together two sides of the onchain economy: someone growing the builder community on Base, and a founder shipping a live consumer product on top of it. Stream 123 explores what it takes to build on Ethereum layer-2 infrastructure, how developer communities form and grow, and what onchain products look like once real users show up. A grounded look at crypto rails, sports prediction, and where onchain building in India heads next. Saumya Saxena | Global Builders Lead, Base Saumya Saxena leads global builder community efforts at Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase. Her work focuses on helping developers get onchain and on growing local builder communities, including across India. She previously founded her own company and now runs a builder community called Inner Circle. Amit Mahensaria | Co-Founder & CEO, PRED Amit Mahensaria is the co-founder and CEO of PRED, a peer-to-peer sports prediction exchange built on Base. Rather than acting as the house, PRED matches buyers and sellers directly and earns its revenue from trading fees, positioning itself as an exchange rather than a traditional sportsbook. Before PRED, Amit co-founded the edtech company Impartus and worked in investment banking and private equity.

    AI Solving Healthcare, DevTools & Biomanufacturing | Stream 122

    Some of the most interesting AI companies are being built in industries that rarely make headlines: how developer tools get sold, how healthcare handles its paperwork, and how biology is scaled from the lab to the factory. In this episode of The Offline Network, Stream 122, we sit down with three founders working at exactly these edges. One is building the revenue layer for companies that sell to developers, one is automating the administrative work that slows down healthcare, and one is building the software that helps manufacturers scale fermentation.  We get into why these problems are hard, how AI changes what is possible, and what it takes to build for global markets from India. Guests for today: 1/ Achintya Gupta | Co-Founder & CEO, Reo.Dev Achintya Gupta is the co-founder and CEO of Reo.Dev, a platform that helps developer-focused companies work out which developers are actually evaluating their product and when to reach out. Reo.Dev reads signals from developer activity, things like documentation visits, package installs and open-source engagement, and turns them into a clearer picture of buying intent for sales and marketing teams. Before Reo.Dev, Achintya co-founded Phyllo and has spent over a decade on go-to-market problems across fintech, the creator economy and B2B software. 2/ Ajay Shrihari | Founder, Coral Health Ajay Shrihari is the founder and CEO of Coral Health, a company that automates the administrative work behind specialty healthcare. Coral Health combines document processing, agentic workflows and voice automation to handle tasks like patient intake, prior authorisations and insurance verification, and it integrates with the electronic health record systems, fax lines and payer portals that providers already use. He started the company after seeing how much healthcare is slowed down by paperwork rather than clinical care, drawing on a background in robotics and AI research. 3/ Shilpa Nargund | Co-Founder & CTO, Lemnisca Shilpa Nargund is the co-founder and CTO of Lemnisca, a company building AI software for biomanufacturing, the process of producing molecules through fermentation. Lemnisca combines biology, reactor physics and data modelling to help manufacturers move a process from the lab to industrial scale with fewer surprises along the way, using real-time monitoring and predictive models. A chemical engineer by training with a PhD and years in bioprocess engineering, Shilpa focuses on the modelling and lab workflows at the core of the product. —

    Deep Tech, Digital Nomads & Founder Funding | Stream 121

    Description: In this Stream of The Offline Network, we bring together three founders building in very different places: deep inside our devices, out in the jungle, and underneath the businesses raising their next round. One is teaching AI to fix the software that runs our phones and machines, one is turning ancestral rainforest into a home for digital nomads, and one is helping founders raise growth capital without giving up equity.  From device engineering and fintech to how and where we choose to work, this conversation looks at what it takes to build in India today, and why some of the most interesting work happens in places most people overlook. Join us as we get into their stories, the systems they are trying to change, and what each of them is learning along the way in Stream 121. Guests for today:1/ Tarun Vashisth | Founder & CTO, logcat.ai About the guest: Tarun Vashisth is the co-founder and CTO of logcat.ai, which he started with fellow former Esper engineer Varun Chitre. The company builds AI agents that work on the operating-system layer of Android and Linux devices, tracing bugs across the kernel, modem, and firmware. Its platform, Delta, analyses system traces, identifies the root cause of software issues, and recommends code-level fixes for the teams who keep phones, vehicles, and connected devices running. 2/ Diveakssh Schae | Founder, Jungli the Nomad Village Diveakssh Schae, known as the Audio Nomad, is the founder of Jungli the Nomad Village. After years making music while travelling across Australia and India, he returned to his family's ancestral land in Dandeli to build a place where digital nomads, artists, and entrepreneurs can live and work close to nature. Jungli is being shaped in dialogue with a global community of nomads, from its pricing to its experience design.  3/ Bhavik Vasa | Founder, GetVantage About the guest: Bhavik Vasa is the founder of GetVantage, a fintech platform that gives digital-first businesses and small enterprises access to growth capital without giving up equity.

    Building AI Accounting and AI Hardware in India

    The Offline Network brings together the people building India's technology story, one conversation at a time. On this stream, two founders work with AI from very different ends of the stack: one making sense of the numbers that run a business, the other rethinking how we interact with machines in the first place. Stream 120 gets into what it takes to build an AI-native company from India, why software and hardware demand different kinds of patience, and how founders choose the problems worth their years. A conversation about accounting, interfaces, and the distance between an idea and a product people rely on. CA Abhinav Sharma | Co-founder, Hisabkitab Abhinav Sharma is a chartered accountant who spent years in practice before co-founding Hisabkitab, a Surat-based accounting platform he built with fellow CA Shrigopal Malani. Hisabkitab brings billing, bookkeeping, compliance, tax preparation and reporting together in one AI-powered, cloud-based tool aimed at Indian SMEs, startups and the accountants who serve them. The idea grew out of the founders' own frustration with juggling disconnected software through every filing season. Apoorv Shankar | Founder, Aina Apoorv Shankar is the founder of Aina, a consumer hardware company building a new kind of interface for the age of AI. Before Aina, he led hardware at the smart-ring maker Ultrahuman, and he started Aina to explore how people might interact with software once AI agents do more of the work. The company builds context-aware devices designed to sit alongside the phone and laptop rather than replace them, including Dune, a small keypad for Mac that adapts to whatever app you are using.
