Vineet Kumar gefällt dasVineet Kumar gefällt das"Gratitude" - That's what I feel :) Since the news broke about Shopflo's acquisition by Pine Labs, I have had a lot of people reach out asking how I feel about it. It also feels like you've seen a kid grow up in front of your eyes, who's now leaving the nest. Today is about shopflo. Who is it? It's a delightful checkout experience for 1000+ D2C brands and 60M+ consumers, powering 12%+ of India's D2C market It has helped these brands make more money against their spends on ads by increasing conversions, AOV, prepaid share, repeats and more adding $100M+ of annual revenue to the D2C ecosystem. It has made the experiences previously only available to large consumer tech companies (like Swiggy & Zepto) available to growing brands It stands on the shoulder of a lot of good people It's the labor of love of my co-founders, all of my team (old and new) and countless feedback from our merchants and partners It's something all of our stellar investors (Schuster, Andrew at TQ Ventures, John prev at Tiger Global, Vaibhav at Better Capital and Angels) believed in at the stage where we barely had a deck put together We're very excited to join Pine Labs, Amrish and Vijeth to take this loved product to all of online retail in India with their reach and reputation. We're also going to significantly invest in R&D to continuously maintain our edge of being the "most innovative product in our category". Stay tuned. This is not the end. It's a new beginning. Still Day 1

Vineet Kumar gefällt dasVineet Kumar gefällt dasWe have a BIG announcement to make: shopflo is now a part of Pine Labs ❤️ When Priy, Ankit and I came together as co-founders, there was a very odd question that used to linger in my head. I used to think: how exactly are we supposed to solve this problem? I, for one, had NEVER built a product, let alone scaled one. Looking back at what a tremendous piece of art we have built with this product, I cannot say how proud I am of all the early believers (& builders) of Shopflo. They have been the biggest backers, teachers, and friends in this journey. To be able to be a formidable player in a space full of cut-throat competition, and prove it out day in and day out on the back of a solid product built by and for our customers, has been the most fulfilling experience. In a short period of 4 years, we've seen all kinds of waves & turbulence: 2022: building our early team in the pandemic 2023: funding winter made us rethink our growth trajectory, keeping profitability at its core 2024: we became truly multi-product; quick commerce was throwing brand economics haywire 2025: AI changed the game & the narrative: we needed to rethink the roadmap week on week The battle scars do become the most solidified learnings. Today, our hunger to build this category alongside the hundreds of partners we have in this space, agencies and product companies alike, has amped up manyfold. With this move, we have removed all the constraints we used to place on ourselves, which merchants to focus on, what features to build, how much to spend on R&D, even which events to participate in. We're here to change the way people shop. We're here to enable brands with a level of tech they have not yet seen. Today we work with 1000+ brands. Tomorrow we truly want to touch every single brand in the country with our products. We have penned our announcement here for more details (link in the comments) To all flo-ters who have been a part of this crazy ride so far, can't thank you guys enough for taking us to this milestone ❤️

Vineet Kumar hat darauf reagiertVineet Kumar hat darauf reagiertI was part of Meta’s layoffs in Zurich last week, spending roughly 5 years there. I learned a ton about things "at scale", from systems to politics, and shipped things I'm quite proud of, on infra & tooling for AI/ML and Computer Vision, with extremely cool people. Looking for what's next: craft, and people who optimize for the pride of helping humans, without mistaking metrics for the mission. Frontend-leaning full-stack, strong UX instincts, and happy to go as deep into the backend/infra as the product needs. If that sounds like your team or your project, let's talk :)

Vineet Kumar gefällt dasVineet Kumar gefällt dasWe raised $44M to build a new home for product design. I’m thrilled to share what Aditya Bandi and I have been building for the last year: Meet Noon. Product design today is caught between canvas and code. Everything in between is translation, and that's where things slow down and inevitably break. As product designers ourselves, Aditya and I have experienced this breakdown firsthand. We were frustrated that traditional tools limited us to visuals, and AI tools made us sacrifice precision. So we set out to rebuild product design from the ground up, with AI at its core. With Noon, you design how a product looks and how it works, directly on top of your product code. It understands your design systems and helps you work faster, without sacrificing craft. We’re grateful to have the backing of incredible leaders from companies like Stripe, OpenAI, Apple, Microsoft AI, Perplexity, and HubSpot. Because they've lived this gap themselves.

Vineet Kumar hat darauf reagiertVineet Kumar hat darauf reagiertBengaluru Road Rage Reality: This Could Have Ended Much Worse I didn’t think I’d be writing something like this — but here’s the harsh reality of what happened to us on Bengaluru roads. On 25th March 2026, around 8:20 PM, my colleague and I were driving back on Sarjapur Road when we encountered an auto (KA01AN4438) coming straight at us on the wrong side. A negligible touch between vehicles — no damage, nothing serious. But that was enough. What followed was not an argument — it was a chase. The driver of KA01AN4438 started aggressively chasing us, trying to block our car multiple times in moving traffic, hitting the vehicle, and attempting to open the doors. We chose not to engage and instead tried to reach a safe place. Then it escalated further. Another auto (KA01AS8794) joined him. Together, they blocked our path near Sarjapur bridge. One of them picked up a concrete stone — and smashed our windshield while we were still inside. Let that sink in. We somehow managed to reach RGA Tech Park, thinking a gated office space would mean safety. It didn’t. Both drivers (and other auto wallas as well) followed us inside. Before I could even step out of the car, I was physically assaulted — repeatedly hit in the face, leaving me injured. Only after things calmed down did the main accused (KA01AN4438) flee. When the police arrived, the second driver (KA01AS8794) apologised in front of them. This wasn’t “road rage.” This was unchecked violence. And unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated story anymore. Too many people in Bengaluru have similar experiences but choose to stay silent. Honestly, after this incident, I have made up my mind — I am going to leave Bengaluru and never come back. If this is the state of our roads, then something is seriously broken. Stay alert. Avoid confrontation. And most importantly — don’t assume you’re safe just because you’ve done nothing wrong.

Vineet Kumar gefällt dasVineet Kumar gefällt dasAfter almost six years at Meta Reality Labs in Zürich, I’m excited to return to the startup world and start my own company — Dashline AG. With Dashline AG, I am bringing together my long-standing interests in delightful design, hobby curation, and data visualization. The goal is to put more power back into people’s hands: helping them understand their own media consumption patterns — be it books, movies or music — and offering recommendations that expand their worldview rather than narrow it. More details to come once the first prototypes are live. The process of setting up the company has already been a learning journey in itself. Huge thanks to Matthias Gisler at recordwise GmbH for guiding the incorporation, Marco Frauenknecht at Lenz Treuhand AG for the financial setup, and Carole Janser at Swiss Insurance & Financial Advisors (SIFA) GmbH for insurance. Having seen many startups go through this process before, I can honestly say the setup couldn’t have been smoother thanks to this fantastic group of people. Special thanks also to the HeadsQuarter team (Ajshe Zuberi and Daisy Boninchi) for making the office setup seamless and welcoming from day one. Dashline AG is still in its early days, and I’ll be onboarding the team gradually over the coming year. It’s definitely different not waking up to hundreds of messages like at Meta anymore — but it’s also created space for personal projects, including spending more time mentoring early-stage startups and non-profits. I’m deeply grateful for what I learned at Wingtra (Maximilian, Armin, Youssef) about building teams and shaping culture from the ground up, and to Meta for showing me what it takes to bring new technologies to life and scale them through fast iteration. Along the way, I was lucky to work with and learn from many brilliant people across very different projects. I’m excited to put these experiences together with my love for art and design into practice in this next chapter. Feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested in early feedback, collaboration, or just a coffee chat. Onward 🚀
