Captions’ Gaurav Misra Talks Leveraging AI Opportunities with Index’s Damir Becirovic

“The AI era is one of those rare moments where a fundamental shift creates so many opportunities, so many possibilities, that there's just not enough people in the world to actually take on all of it,” says Gaurav Misra, Captions CEO.

Gaurav knows a thing or two about leveraging AI, with Captions having recently raised $60M in Series C funding to drive research into and development of generative video technology. “AI is something we really were excited about at the beginning of the company, but what we thought would take 10 years, just by luck, became much faster,” he explains.

Speaking with Index Partner Damir Becirovic at Startup Grind, Gaurav shared his advice around fundraising, seizing opportunity, and building defensive moats in the era of AI.
