I read in TechCrunch today that Perplexity is trying to dominate the Indian market, which could potentially increase the number of users (and thus compete with OpenAI).

Perplexity is trying to attract more users by offering a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription normally worth $200 to all 360 million Airtel subscribers. (That is the cost for them.)

It s especially frustrating when it happens to someone you actually know, not just another random launch in the feed.

I met this guy on Twitter a while ago. We vibed. Chatted for weeks.

Exchanged ideas, helped each other, the build-in-public energy.

I ve been fairly active on Twitter and have come across several founders and creators who hold very different views when it comes to having a family.

The opinions vary, and I really appreciate that people are open about discussing it.

When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.

But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.

• That first launch became Product of the Day.

• We were later nominated for Product of the Year.

• In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.

• And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!

Hey everyone!

I m super excited to announce that AdGen is getting its biggest update ever!

Nearly everything got 100x better seriously.

I ve heard a lot of people say summer is a bad time to launch on Product Hunt.

Everyone s on vacation.No one s on their laptop. Don t even bother.
