Does it need MIT degree? Could India build next Cursor? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can bet any above avg software engineering team in Indian GCCs knows how to integrate Developer interface with APIs like Cursor or handle scale<\/strong>. Indians have Sales capabilities too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked in GCCs where we handled 900B high-value transactions monthly globally with team of 25 in 2018. Achal’s last project was rolled out in 140 countries, together on continet level data aggregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India definitely doesn’t have capability issue. <\/strong>What most pessimists portray or want to push to structural reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many cursor-like products (Not necessarily for coding) can be built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like, we at Vaayu built an AI layer on top of existing digital infra backed with a Deeptech AI infra for decisioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then why it was Cursor? Not from India.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before someone points to structural changes VC eco-system, University numbers etc etc. Let me share the exact simplicity that Cursor & its backers executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How an Unknown startup valued > Fortune 50 company & IT giants<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I was working on BMW Autonomous driving in Germany…Complex AI systems. When news spread Tesla is setting up in Berlin….Entire Germany shook. Cz Elon will eat all automotive companies alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first thought was – If this is Germany fearing US. wt about state of AI in India? This was around 2019-20.. ..pre ChatGPT era…Diff world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was at that time, figuring out my next career paths. Observing Research, Business, Tech, Ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I instantly knew – the opportunity is too huge. But it needed a different approach. Jobs, Indian IT can’t do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when Achal & myself decided to come back from Germany & US respectively, to build Vaayu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplicity – Simple is good, need not be out of the world.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


I have been questioned why at Vaayu we build AI Native versions of Sales & finance tools.
Cursor built AI Native IDE that has been around for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially VCs insist too much, too early on some experience that they have not done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Vaayu, we are clear one & majoritythe context is building what customer understands & is used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cursor didn’t begin with a sophisticated cognitive architecture<\/strong>. It started with a simple, useful product. The hidden reasoning, retrieval and validation loops came later<\/strong> after they got fuel aka capital, a larger team, and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once things work a bit – This is a valuable asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have some company structure – founders, a little brand, a few customers…it proves – there’s a market & possibility. This is where Vaayu – AI for Finance & Sales<\/strong><\/a> is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I am 100% certain, you can’t build viral GTM motions except a few lucky cases without fuel. More important is the compounding structure. How far you go with GTM is mostly dependent on the underlying fuel or cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cursor & its investors put freaking 1600cr even at early stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, for comparison, Hardly 20-50 VCs in India may even overlap with the thesis of investing 5-10cr for similar tech bets. (My internal studies for our Seed round)<\/strong>
Cursor would be easily dismissed as a wrapper & not too differentiated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did pedigree play a role?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Definitely yes. But to get the network, not the capability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people get the network & timing right as God’s gift. Most others build it themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 1000s of examples where pedigree seldom translate to big outocme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in my experience, High-agency is better bet than pedigrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how Cursor used capital aka fuel for speed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cursor gave discounts…it costed them more to pay to Models than they charged from customers.
Increased usage to be top brand, top usability.
You can’t compete with Github & MSFT by being too rational….or thinking like 1000s of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is Vaayu’s internal study done in March’2025, on how much it takes to support users. Of course, to grow at speed, you will have to sustain a burn. We don’t have Cursor’s number yet, but you get the gist of point we are making<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(We tried to normalise the cost to DAU than what chatGPT published to show somewhat bigger numbers. chatGPT numbers aren’t OAI numbers; these are only for chatGPT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost of major population-scale platforms as of March’2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Average cost of talent needed in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engineering & Sales talent costs huge.
There’s physical limit to what founders or humans can achieve by themselves.
Greatest asset in startup is Company structure & team, validated direction….not the outcomes yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Vaayu, we been at similar stage. Small, things work, positioned well & aiming to scale team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An engineer will cost around 30-50L INR per annum, Doable in India<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given that you to build a serious engineering team, I am basing it on what I know about salaries in GCCs. To practically have a good engineer who can scale & build an engineering platform with 3-7 years experience will minimally need 30-50L INR on the conservative side to get them to startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That too, when supported by ace tech founder like Achal & myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But still peanuts, if you had to build it in valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achal & I know such engineers in Investment banking, Autonomous driving & Data at continent scale from our jobs. But we know those engineers need clear instructions, vision, and motivation that only tech founders can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cursor isn’t an engineering marvel. It’s not top-notch innovation like foundational models.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compeltely doable in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cursor’s success rests on a network & structure of resources, an engine & quick decisions by founders & investors with front loaded conviciton<\/strong> apart from capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India lags all except on capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Being at MIT gave them access to OpenAI & more in a circle who understand how you need to be more unconventional than too much logic in startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But network too can be built. What a waste of Indian’s god gift of being social & build a network will be, if not utilized for building big economic outcomes..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it takes to build Cursor in India

But startups & even innovation are more about “\ud835\udc16\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc2d \ud835\udc08\ud835\udc1f \ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc2c \ud835\udc30\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc24\ud835\udc2c”….Not – “Why this would work”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
