Aakrit Vaish co-founded Haptik, one of India's earliest conversational AI companies, and sold it to Reliance Jio. He has since launched Activate, a fund backing early AI founders, and invests across AI, fintech, health, edtech, SaaS and media: TrulyMadly, Seekho and Pepper Content among them. Founders building at the model layer will find him closer to the technology than most operator angels.
