This Saturday, I attended an amazing meetup by eChai Ventures on “How Founders Use AI.”

As a developer, it genuinely expanded my horizon beyond just Copilot, Claude, Cursor, and AI agents.

I got the opportunity to meet people solving real-world problems across completely different industries — from marketing and sales automation to aerospace engineering and cloud infrastructure.

What fascinated me most was seeing how differently people think about AI when they are focused on solving a specific business or industry problem.

I was humbled by the knowledge and experience shared by the people I met. Events like these remind me that there is so much more to learn when you step outside your usual tech bubble.

For me, meetups like this trigger curiosity — and that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Looking forward to attending more meetups, meeting more builders, and understanding how people are using AI to solve real problems, not just write code faster.

If you're building something interesting with AI, I'd love to learn from you.

Thanks Chaitanya Badave for hosting this meetup.
