Rohit Modi shared thisI and over a hundred ISBians gathered over the weekend for ISB's first international alumni meet #latitude in the beautiful Napa Valley. Alumni from across the years and both the campuses were present at the event. The speakers included Rajat Gupta, the ex Global MD of McKinsey and the brain behind ISB. It was a pleasure to hear him speak. Just like the year at ISB, this weekend was the one I never wanted to finish. As we go back to our routines, I am taking these long lasting fond memories with me with the hope to see this amazing cohort soon. Indian School of Business ISB Alumni Association #latitude

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisAfter 8+ years across Pathmatics and Sensor Tower, August 31 will be my last day. In 2018 I launched Pathmatics' Professional Services as a team of 1. Now 20+ people work hand in hand to deliver hundreds of projects to clients across multiple industries, expanding from ProServe to Innovation & Strategy just as the world started speeding up all around us. Back then, the retail and commerce media space didn't have a name for itself, and A and I were just capital letters. I've had the honor of building both organizations from scratch, launching products that didn't exist before we made them, and working alongside people who made the hard parts genuinely fun. None of it would have happened without Gabe Gottlieb taking me out to coffee in December 2017, and I'll always be grateful for the excellent opportunity. Thank you, Gabe, for your trust and mentorship. So what's next? My kids are thrilled with this change, so I'm taking time with them as I figure it out. Eight years helping teams at a leading-edge data company was a great run. Let's talk about what comes next!

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked this10 years at Google today! When I first walked through the doors with a backpack and very little idea of what I was doing, I never could have imagined the journey ahead. A decade later: across 6 roles, 8 managers, and more team evolutions than I can count , what stands out most isn’t the work itself, but how much patience, mentorship, and generosity people have shown me along the way. I started out in the wild west of activating mobile search ads in India, back when getting advertisers to get on mobile was quite an uphill challenge. That evolved into navigating the sheer velocity of APAC strategy across Apps, Commerce, Policy, and Demand Gen, where keeping pace with apps, commerce disruptors and giants like Hotstar, Shopee , Tiktok, Temu and Rakuten felt like building a jet engine mid-flight. These days, I get the privilege of helping emerging brands navigate their fragile 0-to-1 journeys, backing a team that moves with so much heart and horsepower that my primary job is simply trying not to slow them down. If a decade here has proven anything, it is that algorithms, dashboards, and playbooks will always shift, but the real anchor is the people. To the managers who took bets on me before there was proof, the teammates who patiently bailed me out whenever I was out of my depth, and the friends who brought warmth, sanity, and endless humor to the hardest quarters and projects: thank you. Any milestone belongs entirely to the community that carried me through. Grateful for the decade that was, and quietly looking forward to whatever comes next.

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisOne week out: on August 26 I'll be dialling in Outliersgt, talking about the road from Guatemala to Google to Y Combinator - and everything I learned along the way. I don't think of myself as a role model. But I do believe Guatemala and LatAM needs more visible examples of people building from here, and if sharing my story helps even one founder dream a bit bigger, it's worth it. We'll cover the real stuff: getting into YC, raising a $6M seed at three months old, and tips and tricks for Guatemalan's embarking in this journey. It's an intimate session with limited spots, priority for tech founders. RSVP link in the comments. Gracias to Outliers and for putting this together. 🇬🇹🚀

Building alongside such a talented group has been a phenomenal experience, and I’m deeply thankful for the opportunities and partnerships I've had there. Next week, I'm thrilled to tackle my next challenge. On Monday, I’m joining DoorDash to lead their Ads and Promos Data Science team. The scale and complexity of what they’re building in the ads space is inspiring, and I’m ready to hit the ground running. Let’s go! 🚀

Rohit Modi liked thisAfter two wonderful years at Andreessen Horowitz, I’ve moved to OpenAI to work in product marketing. I'm so grateful to my friends and colleagues at a16z speedrun and TECH WEEK by a16z for making my time there so meaningful. I’m also excited about this week's launch: Free and Go users are getting GPT‑5.6 Luna with **unlimited** everyday text chats! My mom is in town, and I've seen firsthand how much she uses ChatGPT to prepare for her Carnatic music classes. That makes this launch feel especially personal. It's been a great first month. Lots more to come. 🌕Rohit Modi liked thisWe’re making better intelligence easier to access in ChatGPT for everyone: - GPT-5.6 Sol now powers both Instant and deeper reasoning for Plus and Pro users, delivering more factual, focused responses. - Free and Go users get unlimited text chats with GPT-5.6 Luna starting tomorrow. This is a concrete step toward more abundant intelligence: making our latest models more widely available, improving the usefulness and reliability of the answers people get, and letting free users keep text chats going without a rate limit. Access shapes opportunity, and this update gives more people the ability to keep asking, develop an idea, and get help when they need it. https://lnkd.in/ezurf63H

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisFrec’s long short product asks customers to make a difficult decision: choosing a tilt for their investment towards a factor like value, quality, or growth. Many customers freeze at this step because they’ve been educated to “just buy the index”. I was in that camp too, so I understand the hesitation. What I learned is that a modest factor tilt can help balance exposures elsewhere in an investor’s financial life. Consider a couple working in tech and living in the Bay Area. They may own employer stock, a home whose value is tied to the local technology economy, and technology-heavy investments similar to QQQ. Taken together, they are likely overexposed to tech and the Growth factor. One way to balance that exposure is to direct new investments toward an index with a modest tilt toward an underrepresented factor, such as Value or Quality. The long and short extensions can reinforce that positioning by slightly reducing exposure to stocks with the strongest Growth characteristics. The customer still owns a portfolio designed to track the same underlying index. Both extensions operate within a defined tracking error, or risk budget, and the portfolio maintains a theoretical beta of ~1. There is also an important side benefit: more powerful tax loss harvesting. Because the strategy holds both long and short positions, it can create opportunities to harvest losses whether the market is rising or falling. For example, a 250/150 Long short direct index targets approximately 4% of annualized tracking error. In statistical terms, roughly two-thirds of one-year outcomes would be expected to fall within 4% above or below the benchmark. The strategy is also estimated to harvest capital losses of ~55% of the initial investment during the first year. We’re excited to continue to bring sophisticated products directly in the hands of self-managed investors.

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisBeen a minute since my last post. From January 28 to July 28, life moved faster than I could pause, reflect, or share. Until I find the time to tell the longer stories of resilience, nervousness, and endurance, here is the condensed version: 1. Basanti and I welcomed our baby girl, Raya, into the world. She is the best thing that has ever happened to us, and she will be five months old soon. ❤️ 2. My close friend and cofounder, Reehan, joined Orcana full-time. Happy Friendship Day, everyone! 🤗 3. Orcana-AI, Inc. reached seven figures in 2026 YTD revenue, entirely through recurring licensing agreements, and is on track for 20x year-over-year growth. 📈 4. We began raising our seed round, received our first VC term sheet, and secured 12.5% of the round in our first week. We have been bootstrapped until now. 🚀 5. Yesterday, we completed our move to the Bay Area. Orcana has migrated to some of the best waters in the world, ready to innovate more boldly, serve customers even better, and grow faster and more sustainably. It has been a wild ride, and I know we’re just getting started. 🐳 I am gearing up for what I believe will be the best chapter of our lives yet, both personally and professionally. I hope to share the struggles, milestones, and lessons as I continue to feel lost and found. To our friends in Seattle, we will visit soon and say a proper goodbye. Sorry I had to leave so abruptly. To everyone in the Bay Area, I’m here with energy, hard-earned lessons, and an insatiable curiosity. Hit me up. I would love to catch up over a matcha or a mocha. #FounderJourney #StartupLife #BuildingInPublic #Entrepreneurship #EnterpriseAI #SeedRound #BayAreaStartups

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisJob hopper, or broadly experienced? For most of my career, I've been a startup gal and proud of it. I love the energy, the pace, the autonomy, and the feeling of seeing the direct impact of my work. At a startup, even people who are more junior in their career can have an outsized impact. But, one of the biggest tradeoffs is unpredictability. Most startups don't last, and that's often for reasons that have little to do with the talent of those who work there. Maybe the idea was too early. Maybe it was too late. Maybe the company pivoted too many times, or never found the right leadership team at the right moment. The opportunities available to you can look radically different just months after you join. Sometimes that's exciting. Other times, it's a sign that your career may be better served elsewhere. People who've worked in startups understand this reality. Some got lucky and joined companies whose trajectory is always up and to the right. Others had to make difficult decisions along the way. In my case, I was often recruited away by better opportunities. I was underpaid and under-leveled for much of my early experiences, and changing jobs was how I flipped the script on my career. Those job changes, however, often came with judgment. Recruiters questioned them. Hiring managers raised eyebrows. More than once, someone advised me to have a good explanation ready, or even apologize for it. I never felt the need to. Those experiences made me who I am. They gave me a broad technical foundation, exposed me to very different leadership styles, and taught me countless lessons about what works, and what doesn't. Looking back, I wouldn't trade that breadth for a longer tenure at any single company. That's why one conversation has stayed with me all these years. When I was offered the Head of Data role at Strava, my future manager told me they had been searching for the right person for six months. They kept looking for someone who checked every box and eventually realized they were asking for a unicorn. Then he told me that my "broad range of experiences" was exactly what made me the right fit. And just like that, something I'd spent years defending became one of my greatest strengths! That reframing stuck with me. It even gave me the confidence, years later, to leave that role and spend time outside of tech writing my book. I wasn't walking away from my career. I was broadening my experiences just a little bit more. Sometimes what looks like a messy resume is exactly what prepares you for the opportunity you haven't found yet.

Rohit Modi liked thisRohit Modi liked thisOn May 20 I got caught, together with other 8,000 people, in the Meta layoffs. Thanks to the generous severance package, I was able to take a couple of months off work to recharge my batteries after more than 20 years without a significant break. I was able to decompress, spend some quality time with family and friends in Italy and be a more present father to my children during this time. More than anything, I was able to sleep 7 to 9 hours a night without interruption, something I have not been able to do in years. It’s now time to turn the page for the next chapter. I am looking for a Staff Data Engineer role, open to any sector. I bring ~15 years of experience across large-scale telemetry, ML infrastructure, experimentation, and production data systems. If your team is hiring, or you know someone who is, I would be grateful for an intro, a referral, or even just a lead. Reposts help more than you know. Thank you all for your help!

Andrej Karpathy saying “AGI is a decade away” means it is not possible with current Transformer models. Ten years is a lifetime in technology. Sam Altman saying “parts of AI are bubbly” means he knows we are in a hype bubble but wants it to last until he exits his stake. The good part is that the GPU infrastructure built during this boom will still be useful for robotics, quantitative models, digital twins, and the next wave of AI that might finally reach AGI.
