Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn | Picking the Right Problem: Building AI Startups for India

Episode 6: Maharishi R B

In Episode 6 of Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn, Maharishi R B, Co-Founder and CEO of Supernova AI, explains why picking the right problem decides which startups scale.

Education changed the course of Maharishi's life, and it shaped his thesis on what Indian AI startups can solve. He talks about how Supernova's AI English tutor is widening access to quality learning in India, why a small team can outpace incumbents like Duolingo by designing ground-up for Indian users, and why billion-dollar ventures come from headache problems, the urgent needs people will pay to fix. His number one advice for founders is to launch fast, even if the product is imperfect, and let early users show you where to iterate.
