Bengaluru,
February 12, 2025 :  GTM Unbound brought together 30 leading AI
founders and investors for an intimate cross-border SaaS and AI dinner at KOKO,
in Bengaluru, hosted in partnership with AWS, Paddle, Efficient
Capital Labs and XFlow.

The
closed-door gathering convened ambitious SaaS and AI builders shaping
the next wave of global expansion across the U.S.–India corridor.  Designed as a high-signal environment, the
evening focused on deep discussions covering global monetization, revenue
infrastructure, international scale and funding pathways for 2025.

The
roundtable saw participation from influential voices across SaaS, AI, venture
capital and global revenue infrastructure. On the founder side, the lineup
included Andrew Davies (Paddle, who flew in from London), Prashant
Gupta (DevRev), Manik Mehta (Omnify), Giridhar LV (Nuvepro), Ashutosh
Kumar (Clappia), Amarpreet (Humantic AI), Neeraj Singal (Tagshop),
Anand Balaji (XFlow), and Neha Sanjay (Efficient Capital Labs) and
Neha Reddy (Inventus Law). Representing the investment and advisory
ecosystem were Gopi Pepakayala (AWS), Ravi Srivastava (Leo Capital)
and Venugopal Sathyanarayana (Blue Ashva Capital).

Building
High-Signal, Community-Led Conversations

The
evening underscored GTM Unbound’s belief that the best GTM acceleration happens
when the right founders are in a room together. What unfolded were practical
conversations on everything from pricing experiments and global tax compliance
to the realities of scaling product-led motions in the U.S market.

This
community-led format reflects a core part of GTM Unbound’s mission: creating
spaces where founders share what’s working inside their companies, add
on-the-ground context, and investors offer a clear view of how the market is
shifting and where new opportunities are opening up.

Keeping
the group intentionally small helped everyone speak openly and go deeper into
the topics that mattered most to them. The result is an exchange that feels
more real, more actionable, and ultimately more valuable for founders
navigating the complexity of cross-border growth.

Aditi
Aggarwal, Founder of GTM Unbound, shared:

“This roundtable
reinforced the power of community-led growth. When founders, operators, and
investors come together in a room of trust, the quality of insight is
unmatched. Our goal is to create spaces where people don’t just network, they
gain direction, conviction, and long-term collaborators for their global
journey.”
