We Backed 17 of India's Brightest Young Founders with ₹20L Grants | WTFund Cohort 3

Spent a few hours with young bright founders below the age of 25 from the 3rd WTFund cohort. WTFund is a non-dilutive ₹20 lakh grant. From over 3,000 applications, we shortlisted 8 startups. We spoke about what they’re building, but also about doubt, ambition, money, and the uncertainty that comes with starting early. Some clear ideas. Some unfinished thoughts. A conversation that felt more real than structured.https://www.allthingswtf.com/wtfund00:00 - WTFund Bootcamp02:02 - Intro03:20 - Prava - AI-Led Transactions10:22 - Astraeus Innovus - Preventive Cancer Screening18:45 - Turocrates AI - AI-Driven Diagnostics26:35 - AntiMattr - Voice-First Computing32:12 - O3 security - Securing AI Systems39:05 - Bloom Rehab - Tech-Enabled Recovery42:00 - Journey to Building46:22 - Philosophies of life50:31 - Placestation - Automating PCB Assembly55:32 - AEYI : AI-Powered CCTV Monitoring57:50 - Q&A with Nikhil01:04:14 - AI Girlfriend & Dating01:05:35 - Schools of Psychology01:08:26 - Nikhil's Birthday Plans01:09:11 - Golden Hour01:10:10 - Healthcare & Longevity01:12:33 - Trading01:16:32 - Advice for Young Founders #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, Gruhas Host of ‘WTF is’ & ‘People by WTF’ PodcastTwitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio WTFund India’s premiere non-dilutive grant fund for emerging entrepreneurs.Twitter: https://x.com/TheWTFundLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/wtfund Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewtfund O3 Security A security platform that stops software supply-chain attacks in real time — whether it’s AI-generated or human-written code to production.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/o3_security/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aeyi/ Aeyi Aeyi is a GENAI-powered system that turns normal CCTV cameras into real-time safety and monitoring tools.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aeyi_surve/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aeyi/ Antimattr AI-powered earbuds for hands-free audio computing.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antimattr.one/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/antimattr/about/ BloomRehab Rehabilitation robots for neuro and ortho recovery.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bloomrehab/ Astraeus Innovus A ₹100 saliva test that screens for oral cancer in under 5 minutes.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.
