From Handwritten Notes to a Guest Post on the AgentsNexus Blog

I shared my AgentsNexus India 2026 conference notes, the organisers featured them, and then invited me to write a guest post for their blog.

I attended AgentsNexus India 2026, a conference on agentic AI, in Bengaluru on September 4-5.

I take handwritten notes at every event and photograph the slides. Afterwards I turn them into comprehensive notes in my self-hosted Obsidian knowledge base, using an MCP server to help build them. This time was no different. I wrote up the notes and shared them on LinkedIn and X.

Siddhant Agarwal and the AgentsNexus team saw them and liked them. They asked if they could feature my notes on their blog, and then asked if I would write a guest post as well.

I said yes. The notes cover what was said on stage. The guest post is something else: my experience of the conference and my own perspective as an attendee, and as a fellow traveler on the path of learning AI and agents.

The guest post is now live on the AgentsNexus blog: Solid Ground in the Chaos of Agentic AI

The lesson for me is simple. I took notes because I wanted to learn, and I shared them because it cost me nothing. That was enough to get an invitation to write for the event's own blog.

Thanks to Siddhant Agarwal and the AgentsNexus team for the event and for publishing this.

Startup Signal

The best ideas from the rooms I’m in, so you don’t have to be there.

I go to startup and AI events across Bengaluru: talks by founders who’ve built and scaled companies, builder meetups, AI summits. Every two weeks I send you the parts worth keeping: business lessons from people who’ve done it, where AI and startups are heading, and what’s hype vs. real.

One email every two weeks. Free. Your email is never shared.

What you get

  • Lessons from proven founders. What people who built and scaled real companies say about hiring, distribution, fundraising, failure and focus. Only the parts you can use.
  • AI and startup trends, from the ground. What gets discussed in the room before it becomes LinkedIn consensus.
  • A builder’s filter. I build products myself, so I keep what’s actionable and cut the stage talk.
  • India’s startup scene, from inside. One of the world’s biggest tech ecosystems, seen up close.
  • In Bengaluru? Upcoming events worth your evening.
