From Episode 5: Lessons from Building Thoughtspot and Nutanix with Ajeet Singh · · Vidya Raman
“The current economy is not easy especially given the massive change that has happened in the investing environment when it comes to startup investments. This year 2023 has been really a big pullback across the board across different stages whether it's early stage mid or later. Fundamentally I think it is actually healthy because things had gotten to a stage where there was an unhealthy level of activity that was going on.”

About Ajeet Singh
Ajeet Singh, cofounder of ThoughtSpot, spoke at the NextGen SCM event in Delhi on May 19, 2026, about modern supply chain challenges. He described supply chain as "meeting customer expectations with probably minimum cost and in a lean and mean manner." Singh stated that changing customer expectations, including demands for speed, agility, lower cost, and variety, are driving organizations to build more resilient and responsive networks. He noted that "technology and knowledge barriers are coming down" and that competition is widespread, creating pressure on supply chains. Singh argued that enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are often "one-size-fits-all solutions that fail to account for industry nuances," leading to siloed information and a lack of responsiveness. He said different industries face unique challenges, citing examples such as the steel industry's liquid metal conversion, discrete manufacturing's assembly of millions of parts, and the fashion industry's need for season planning and markdown optimization. Singh stated that tailored solutions are required rather than generic ones, and that technology can help with demand sensing, supply chain planning, and operations execution to improve responsiveness.
