We had the opportunity to engage with Michael Fox from Zespri International yesterday. Michael in his role as Chair of India New Zealand Business Council led the business delegation to India in August. India is home to 108 startup unicorns with a total valuation of $ 340.80 billion. We are looking forward to engaging with the council and helping our portfolio companies discover the India opportunity.
Thanks to Sandeep Sharma from Quality New Zealand Education for creating the opportunity.

"The pace of innovation in AI this past year is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We’ve seen the efficiency of LLMs increase 100x at the implementation level. Open-source communities have rallied like never before and most major enterprises have mobilised, with 21% of CEOs in Q1 2023 mentioning AI in their earnings calls. "

And we loved hanging out with the cute Junior Associate Brie.
