Not just an AI pioneer.
An extraordinary
one — since 1994.
Jasminder — known as "Jas" — graduated with a Computer Science degree (AI major) from the University of Bombay in 1994, when neural networks were still a research curiosity. He has been building with AI for over three decades.
As Co-Founder and CEO of NowFloats, he brought 130,000+ Indian small businesses online through three SMS messages — one of India's landmark digital inclusion stories. Reliance Industries acquired NowFloats in a deal covered by TechCrunch, Mint (Fortune 500 list), and the Times of India.
He is a Founding Member of iSPIRT and a Founder Member of Citizen Stack — which he has represented at the United Nations in New York, MIT, and Harvard. He mentors at the INSEAD AI Venture Lab with Harvard Business School, Google, NVIDIA, and Antler. He has written speeches for Bill Gates and hosted Yann LeCunn, Meta's Chief Scientist.
Today he invests via Full Stack Capital, builds new companies at Kolam Studio, and works closely with the Government of India on digital policy and technology infrastructure.

A premium craft gin named after the wettest place on Earth — Cherrapunji, Meghalaya. Where a technologist's relentless curiosity meets the art of distillation. Proof that the best ideas come from the most unexpected terrains.
Also incubated directly by Jas via Kolam Studio. An AI-native contract platform built from first principles — where the idea of making legal infrastructure intelligent started with a whiteboard conversation at Kolam.
Incubated at Kolam Studio. Details to be revealed — but built around Jas's core thesis: that the most important digital infrastructure in India is still waiting to be built, and it needs founders who think in decades, not quarters.
A Kolam Studio incubation at the intersection of craft and technology. Visvakarn — named after the divine architect — embodies the studio's philosophy: that the best builders are also the deepest thinkers.
Another Kolam Studio original. Building quietly with conviction — in the Jas tradition of building things that matter for the next hundred million users before anyone else sees the opportunity clearly.

"AI is too important a generational event to not jump in.
I've been jumping in since 1994 —
and the water's only getting warmer."
