Day one in the US, and my first conversation about Composio was with Sam Altman.

It was DevDay and I did not get a pass. But as luck would have it, an investor invited me to the after-party.

A few minutes after walking in, I ended up talking to Sam and gave him a 10-second version of what we were building.

It was brief and completely unplanned but before I’d explained Composio to almost anyone in the US, I’d already explained it to him.

Founding is funny that way.

You can’t predict lucky moments, but you can show up for them.

I didn’t realize how quiet life can get when you move to a new city alone.

When I shifted to SF, my wife and daughter stayed back in India. She’s a TV actor, finishing a project she couldn’t leave midway. I told myself it was temporary - that this is what founders do, right? You make sacrifices, push through, keep building.

But after a few weeks, it hit me. I wasn’t burned out from work. I was burned out from distance. From missing out on bedtime stories, weekend breakfasts, the small things that remind you why you’re doing any of this in the first place.

Everything at work was fine - but I wasn’t. My focus dropped, motivation dipped, and it took me a while to realize.

So I started calling them more. Every night, no matter the time difference. And I booked a ticket home for Diwali.

That’s what helped - being closer to what actually matters.
