Young minds and their innovative ideas heavily influence the new era of technology. With the rise of advancement and digitalisation, more and more tech startups and entrepreneurs are surfacing with their groundbreaking ideas and changing the world.
One such duo of young entrepreneurs from India has caught several eyeballs all over the world and has investors like OpenAI Founder Sam Altman fueling their goals.
We are talking about Aryan Sharma and Ayush Pathak, two teenagers from India who have created a name for themselves in the saturated space of technology. Their tech startup, Induced AI, raised around $2.3 million in their last seed round in October 2023.
This teen duo not only has Sam Altman investing in their tech, but also big investors like Peak, XV, SV Angel, and numerous successful businessmen and techies are backing their AI journey.
During a podcast conversation on the YouTube channel Overpowered hosted by Vijay Mayya and Tanmay Bhat, Aryan Sharma opened up about their journey and how they were able to capture Sam Altman's attention.
He shared that he started contacting tech personalities via emails when he was 14. Some of them ignored the emails, and some even asked them to not email again. But these challenges did not stop the duo, as they saved up money and went to San Fransisco, where they got to understand the tech community and build up relations with tech giants like Sam Altman.
Sharma talked about how his hard work finally paid off when he secured a meeting with Altman and pitched him the idea of becoming Altman's secretary. This was to understand business and technology better by learning from him and his OpenAI.
They later met Altman during the fundraising for Induced AI, where the OpenAI founder was impressed by their dedication and passion for their goal. He understood their vision and took part in the funding.
