🎙️ Season 1 of the Brown Girls, Money Moves podcast was honest, unfiltered, and unapologetically desi.

We sat down with Brown Girl Founders and the investors who bet on them. We unpacked what it really means to build, fundraise, and exit, all through a South Asian lens. 💅

And now… we’re back.

🌶️ Season 2 just launched with new guests, a new name, a new look - and the same spicy mission.

This week, we dive deeper with Thalia Pillay (Co-founder, Orca Fraud) and Nivesh Pather (Principal, Norrsken22). She was told to add a male co-founder to get the deal done. And then went on to raise one of the largest seed rounds ever by an all-women founding team in Africa.

This one’s for you if you want to learn…

✨ Why the goal was never to raise money and what capital efficiency actually looks like in practice

✨ What made a top African VC back the same team twice

✨ How fraud in emerging markets is fundamentally different and why that’s Orca’s biggest advantage

We put out the call to brown girls - and you filled our comments, our DMs, and our dinner tables. Our founder Bhargavi kicked off the BGA roadshow with a Brown Girls, Desi Dinner in New York- and it reminded us why we do this.

South Asian women. Real connection. Good food. Talking business and money moves.

Here’s to the first of many Desi Dinners during this roadshow and to creating more spaces where we uplift each other.

Brown girls - it’s time to show your hand. 🃏 We’re hosting Poker Power’s inaugural Toronto experience, happening as part of Toronto Tech Week, and the room is filling up.

Here’s the thing about poker. It’s never really been about the cards. The same skills that make a great poker player make a great founder, investor, and negotiator. And those are skills we’re always sharpening. Poker Power has transformed how Fortune 500 companies think about leadership, decision-making, and negotiation, and now they’re bringing that experience to us - a room of South Asian women at the forefront of capital, innovation, and influence.

Sponsored by First Avenue Investment Counsel and Borden Ladner Gervais, the evening will bring together C-suite leaders, VCs, angels, and tastemakers who are building what’s next.

📅 Thursday, May 28th

Docs piling up faster than you can write them? Same.

Every team knows the feeling — product ships, docs don't. Changelogs get forgotten. Style violations quietly accumulate. Broken links go unnoticed for months.

Mintlify's new Workflows feature fixes this. Define automation rules, and the agent handles the recurring maintenance work for you — on your schedule, by your rules.

Draft docs when a PR merges. Generate changelogs every Friday. Run a style audit on every push. Flag translation lag before it becomes a problem. Each workflow is version controlled, fully configurable, and fits into your existing review process.

You decide when it runs, what it checks, and whether changes get committed directly or opened as a pull request for review.

The result: documentation that actually keeps up with your product, without someone manually chasing it down.
