Here is a framework for nations to work with revolutions such as #AI and #Quantum. First you have your people learn, then dabble and become early/late adopters (hopefully not laggards!), then become effective technical users and finally value creators. It is only then that the economy benefits from your investment, and you create sustainable job growth. While #India is a key market for #Quantum with millions thirsting to learn and actually do things with this technology, there are still large gaps between: 1. Where Quantum Computing is today Vs where it needs to be for mass adoption [Quantum Sensing on the other hand is ready for prime time and GPS compromising incidents are only increasing] 2. The specialist work being done Vs the ability to hire millions of generalists 3. What it costs to tap into the technology Vs perception of what it should cost as a commodity 4. The talent it takes to produce world class indigenous technology Vs the talent that actually exists on the ground 5... Each of these gaps will close over time. In the lead-up and as a first step, India first needs to learn enough about this technology, ideally from the very best, and spread awareness. The starting point of this journey should ideally not be from dull videos or low quality social media content, but from hands-on practical learning that is delivered through high quality polished content. Such practical training effectively complements all the theoretical content you learn in universities. Q-CTRL's Black Opal product is the world's leading interactive learning tool that gives you just enough fundamentals (think 101) required to program a quantum computer. With over 28,000 users worldwide and success across the UK (Tamil Nadu adopted it last year as part of the naanmudhalvan program). And now, we have expanded our presence in India through a network of local resellers. We encourage Indian companies, governments and universities to work with us either directly or through our contacts. https://lnkd.in/gjJWHYB3 We also look forward to aligning with AICTE standards and to make our content even more relevant to India.

Thrilled to share big news from the Team8 family today. Sawmills is officially launching #Mills, the world’s first agentic telemetry management platform, and we’re incredibly proud to be backing this category‑defining team. #Observability has become a foundational pillar of modern software infrastructure — but the #telemetry powering it is spiraling out of control. It has become one of the noisiest, most expensive, and least owned parts of modern engineering. Mills changes that. It acts as an always‑on telemetry operator – continuously managing signals end‑to‑end, from code and CI pipelines through production – so only high‑value, trusted data reaches your observability tools. Instead of endless cross‑team coordination and manual clean‑up, DevOps sets policies and guardrails once, and Mills does the heavy lifting: monitoring pipelines, detecting waste and data quality issues, proposing fixes, and routing them to the right owners for review and approval. The result? Dramatically lower observability waste, better signal, and engineers freed up to focus on building. We’re honored to partner with Ronit Belson (CEO), Erez Rusovsky (CPO), Amir Jakoby (CTO), and the entire Sawmills team as they redefine what agentic operations can look like for modern engineering organizations. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. If you’re feeling the pain of runaway #telemetry and #observability costs and operations, now is the time to meet Sawmills: https://www.sawmills.ai/ #Successbydesign

Today marks a milestone for Salesforce Ventures, and a defining moment for enterprise security. Alphabet’s acquisition of Wiz has officially closed. Wiz has been a cornerstone of our portfolio since May 2021, when Nowi Kallen, Kartik Gupta, and team first invested in their Series B at a $1.5B valuation. We saw the potential early and invested deeply, backing the team through their Series C, D, and E rounds. From a $1.5B Series B to a $32B acquisition, one of the largest in enterprise tech history, the Wiz team’s execution has been nothing short of extraordinary. This outcome reflects our mission at Salesforce Ventures: identifying the companies that define the next era of technology and staying behind them for the long haul. But the real credit belongs to the entire Wiz team on the ground. Beyond the technology, it was the relentless grit and day one mentality of Assaf Rappaport and the team that turned a vision into a $32B reality. Huge congratulations to the entire Wiz team on this historic achievement.

Excited to share that Jayashree Rajan is coming on board as our GTM Advisor at Interact AI. This one feels special. Jayashree was one of our earliest customers. The sharp kind. The kind who pulls apart your narrative, questions your category, and asks "where do you actually win?" Her review calls slowly became internal strategy sessions. Positioning debates. ICP sharpening. Enterprise buying psychology. Category framing. We’d walk in to give updates. We’d walk out thinking differently. Jayashree brings deep CMO experience building positioning from scratch, shaping category stories, and translating market shifts into real revenue outcomes. Grateful for the early conviction. Even more excited for what we’re building next.
