Paras Madan — Co-Founder
Here's a crisp view of who I'm, what I do, and what I'm looking for. → I’m deeply passionate about startups — previously built Cruxe.in (AI-based recommendation engine for content creators) and BestAIPrompt.com (search engine for AI-generated images). → I operate at the intersection of DeepTech and GTM, with hands-on leadership across both engineering and marketing teams. → I create content on AI and startups — with 170K+ followers, primarily on Instagram (500+ videos), helping simplify deep tech for the next wave of builders. → I’ve been building in AI since 2019, with strong expertise in both the legacy stack (ML, DL, RL) and modern GenAI systems. → I’ve led 11+ member teams, won multiple national-level hackathons, and thrive in fast-moving, high-context environments. → I'm a 2x TEDx Speaker, and have delivered AI workshops for top global orgs like Mastercard, HSBC, Master’s Union and 15+ other organisations. → Currently building Varnan — a next-gen GTM agency helping high-growth AI startups scale visibility, sharpen positioning, and build compounding distribution.
