Harness co-founder Jyoti Bansal highlights a growing issue in software development: while AI tools help generate more code, they often create bottlenecks further along the pipeline, especially in testing, deployment, and compliance. Since its 2017 launch, Harness has aimed to streamline these stages using AI and machine learning. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), the company shifted toward agentic AI, introducing a library of specialized agents—like DevOps, SRE, AppSec, and FinOps agents—that operate behind a unified interface called Harness AI. These agents assist in building production pipelines, not deploying code directly, ensuring human oversight remains critical for compliance and security.Bansal emphasizes that AI in development isn't replacing people but accelerating workflows to meet tighter timelines. He also notes strong enterprise adoption, with even large, traditionally slower-moving organizations embracing AI integration. On the topic of an AI bubble, Bansal sees it as a natural part of innovation, akin to the Dotcom era, where market excitement can still lead to meaningful long-term transformation despite short-term volatility.

In this episode of SparX, Mukesh Bansal speaks with Sharad Sharma, one of the key minds behind Aadhaar and UPI. Sharad shares why he left a successful corporate career to focus on nation building, and how India can avoid becoming a trade colony of China or a tech colony of the US by doubling down on deep tech and research-driven innovation.They discuss:- The origins of India Stack and Digital Public Infrastructure.- How UPI really scaled and the lessons for entrepreneurs.- Why India must build a strong R&D and product innovation ecosystem.- The urgent need for new research institutions, mid-career researchers, and long-term thinking.- How India can carve its own path in AI through health, education, and data-driven use cases.If you want to understand India's deep-tech playbook and the roadmap to Viksit Bharat, this is a must-watch conversation.
When Peyush Bansal spent more than Rs 200 crore to buy back Lenskart shares from investors at a deep discount, it wasn't just a bold trade. It was a rare move few founders manage. He essentially clawed back equity before heading into an IPO. And this extra stake pushed him into “promoter” status, a role many startup leaders once avoided but are now racing to embrace. Why the sudden shift? What does it reveal about founders, investors, and regulators in India's IPO boom?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Ankit Nagori and Mukesh Bansal may have started the fitness unicorn Cult.Fit together, but their journeys since then are a study in contrasts.On one hand is Cult.Fit. It's been a little over a year since Mukesh Bansal stepped down as Cult's CEO. When The Ken reached out to him asking why, he clarified that he still remains involved. But involvement, of course, is a spectrum – sometimes it means steering the company to an IPO. The catch is that while Cult.fit wants to go public next year, there is no DRHP yet. There is also no FY25 data on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website. Then you have Nagori's big bet – Cure.Foods. Under Nagori's leadership, Curefoods went from 2 crore in revenue in FY21 to 775 crore in FY25. That's according to its draft IPO documents filed in June. Yup, Curefoods is also looking to go public. But unlike Cult, Nagori has a DRHP, a valuation, and a business that sells things people eat. While Eat.fit was all about quinoa and millets, Curefoods evetnually became about what sells.

The Government's recent ban on on payment card surcharges has been met with criticism from the retail and hospitality sectors. The Government's announced it will scrap extra in-store card fees by next May. The Commerce Commission has already reduced bank interchange visa and master card fees for businesses. Dairy and Business Owners Group chair Ankit Bansal says these proposed changes are 'unfair' as the banks can still charge whatever transaction fees they like. "These will likely have to be passed on to the consumers - the problem is, we would have to do it across the board. So even if someone was paying with cash, one way or another, we're paying for these charges." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've spoken to Whitehead scholar Matt Segall a couple of times before, and I was really keen to catch up with him to hear his process-relational and process philosophical takes on AI, intelligence and consciousness. I was responding to a piece he recently wrote titled " The Philosophical Implications of Artificial Intelligence" (full citation below), and it's helped me to ground the conversation about AI that sometimes feels like it easily gets untethered from reality, or just collapses the complexity of humans down into computational machines. There's a lot of more pernicious metaphors that reductive materialists have about humans are, and so this conversation helps to recenter the AI Hyped conversations into a much more process-relational context.
