Two IIT grads quit stability to bet everything on AI agents and hit $25M funding in two years. Soham Ganatra (Hiring) and Karan Vaidya launched Composio in 2023 from San Francisco, solving the mess of connecting AI agents to real apps like GitHub, Slack, Salesforce. No more static bots. Their platform gives agents "evolving skills" with managed auth, triggers, execution 250+ integrations deep. Soham’s path was pure founder grit. Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay CS, built and exited Cogno AI (chatbots for Indian banks) while in college. Then Darkhorse Capital’s 100% return quant trading infra. Bureau’s no-code risk platform. Mid-2023, he quit a cushy gig on a hunch: agents needed infra to scale. Validation? Cold-called strangers at 3AM on Discord. Posted viral Reddit, Inc. blogs. Even faked landing pages. Ignored "friendly" feedback from friends. Result: $1M+ ARR, 200 paying customers (Glean, YC startups), angels like Dharmesh Shah. Lightspeed led the Series A. Karan, ex-founding PM at Nirvana Insurance, brought GTM muscle. Their mantra: Hire misfits with 0-to-1 empathy over pedigrees. Trust gut on iPhone-level ideas. Take big bets. Most AI founders chase hype. These two built infra that actually ships proving IIT hustle plus gambler mindset scales faster than connections. What’s the boldest bet that paid off for you? ~Rohit Raj, at your service:)
