EF × Together Fund: India-US Corridor - Scaling Global AI Ambition
Indian-origin founders are at the forefront of global tech — from AI infrastructure to SaaS platforms used by millions, they are building with global AI ambition from day zero.
Entrepreneurs First and Together Fund invite you to an exclusive evening with the founders, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of global startups built in the India-US corridor.
As AI rewrites the rules of company-building and the India–US corridor emerges as a launchpad for breakthrough innovation, this event brings together the key players of this ecosystem, poised to lead the next wave of Indian talent into global category leadership.
Join us for two high-conviction fireside chats —
Girish Mathrubootham (Founder, Freshworks & Together Fund) with Alice Bentinck, Co-founder & CEO, Entrepreneurs First, discussing scaling global AI ambition from the India–US corridor
Lakshmi Shankar (GP, Together Fund & ex-VP at Google) with Rahul Samat, Partner and India Head, Entrepreneurs First, exploring how VCs enable founders with resources to scale across stages
— followed by a mixer with those who believe Indian talent isn’t just part of the global tech story, but at the center of it.
