19-year-old Mumbai boy raises ₹23 crore for AI startup..... No IIT seat. No pedigree. No VC warm intro. Just a laptop, a middle-class Mumbai teen, and a hunger to build. At 19, Dhravya Shah didn’t just raise ₹23 crore for his AI startup Supermemory. He raised the bar for what Indian youth can imagine. He built bots. Sold one to Hypefury. Dropped out of ASU. And now he’s backed by Google AI’s Jeff Dean, DeepMind’s Logan Kilpatrick, and execs from OpenAI and Meta. Supermemory helps AI systems remember what they’ve learned. And Dhravya’s journey reminds us what India must never forget: ✅ That invention doesn’t need permission. ✅ That middle-class grit is India’s real unicorn. ✅ That memory isn’t just data - it’s dignity. To every young builder reading this: You don’t need a gate. You need a key. And sometimes, that key is just a laptop and a REFUSAL to wait.
