Khushi Mittal is the founder of Aspera Industries in Bengaluru. Eureka is their first aircraft: it flies with nobody on board, and retractable hydrofoils in place of a stepped hull let it take off and land on water, so it needs no airport. It is designed to carry 1,000 kg over 2,000 km at under $1 a tonne-kilometre.

For generations, we've pushed the limits of what flight can do.
Yet moving goods still comes with a compromise. The sea takes weeks and flying costs too much. Somewhere along the way, the world got comfortable with waiting.
Today, we announce Eureka, our first aircraft. It takes off and lands on water, and it's designed to turn "in a few weeks" into "on the evening flight."
Break the surface.

After I moved from advertising to start my business, my ex super boss visited the agency and as a courtesy visit I went to meet him. After a course of exchanging pleasantries when I started up to leave him, he commented : “Kahan Jaa raha hai, Aloo bechne!” I looked at him and smiled.
After few months Hearty Mart got featured in Economic Times and became an IIMA case study, I remembered my boss and sent him the link of the coverage.
And he relied : Wow! Nadeem Fantastic, I knew you would do something big. When in Mumbai drop in for a cup of coffee.
Whenever I feel low sometimes, I visit this reply of his to rejuvenate my spirits. I have saved this mail of him!

Spending this afternoon at Karnavati Club for an event hosted by eChai and Upsquare.
What I enjoy most about AI is how it brings curious people together in one room.
No matter what role or experience we carry, this space has a way of making all of us students again.
You listen, question, share, learn and leave with a fresh hunger to try something new.
That zeal to keep learning and growing is what will truly matter in the AI era.

Pitched BuildShot at eChai Ventures Demo Day with Pratik Patwe.
8 minutes on stage, months of building behind it.
We talked about the problem, what we’ve built so far, and where we think this can go.
I’ve cut the pitch down to the parts that matter most.
Also, BuildShot has evolved quite a bit since we started.
The product changed.
The vision got bigger.
And maybe… the name is next. 👀
More soon.
