Shivam Bhotika

early-stage venture / startup building / writing about how technology leaks into culture.

Based in Bengaluru / Calcutta. I'm interested in ideas that feel slightly early, slightly irrational, and somehow inevitable in hindsight; especially around AI, consumer behavior, and the weird edges of the internet.

A bunch of links to get started with some stuff I do:

OuterSpeak, my substack newsletter
The Token Dispatch - 200K+ subscribers, top #20 crypto newsletter on Substack
Oftenly Wicked Podcast - did podcasting before it was cool

This site is a living notebook more than a finished product. Some things are polished, some are experiments, all of it is part of the same ongoing thought process.

I made this website open source.
It's based on Obsidian and it could be useful to fork to some PKM nerds.
