True innovation isn’t about building for the elite, it’s about empowering the everyday entrepreneur.
While technology has revolutionized consumers and large enterprises, India’s 73 million small businesses still run on manual workflows, their most advanced tool often being WhatsApp. Fixit is changing that by creating AI employees that automate sales, qualify leads, and manage operations directly through simple chat.
In this episode, Themesh, founder of Fixit, shares how conversational AI is transforming India’s SMB landscape from manual to intelligent and unlocking the country’s next big productivity revolution:
Why small businesses are India’s most overlooked yet high-potential market
How Fixit built AI employees on WhatsApp, where every SMB already works and sells
The inside story of qualifying 100,000 leads in just one day using AI
Why the future isn’t AI vs humans, it’s humans with AI
The leadership principles driving Fixit’s growth: work ethic, persistence, and design thinking

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
