Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 12: 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."
