Last week, we wrapped up AIBoomi ONE in Bengaluru.
It was always meant to be a space where India’s AI community could meet without filters. Seeing it come alive was deeply meaningful, not just for me, but for everyone who has been quietly building this with us.
With hardly a pause, we’ve already set the wheels in motion for SaaSBoomi Annual ’26. In fact, we announced it during the closing moments of AIBoomi ONE.
The momentum is real.
The world of software and tech is moving fast. And I love that we are not just keeping pace. We are moving in parallel, side by side, at full throttle.
But like most things in life, that pace comes at a cost.
Earlier this week, while unpacking my bag, I found an old power bank user manual. One line caught my eye.
“Do not charge your devices while the power bank is charging. Doing so will reduce the performance of the power bank.”
I read it in passing, crumpled the paper, and tossed it into the bin. But the line remained plastered to my mind.
It felt like a quiet reminder for people like us. The ones who keep building.
At SaaSBoomi, we are constantly plugged into the ecosystem. Event to event. Roundtable to roundtable. Initiative to initiative. We do it with belief, heart, and relentless intent. But we rarely stop to notice the toll it takes.
We are the power banks. Always charging others while barely letting ourselves recharge.
So this holiday season, I’m reminding myself, and gently nudging all of us, to rest. To breathe. To pause and restore.
To everyone who gives their energy to this community ~ our team, our volunteers, our leaders ~ take a step back. Refuel. Return with intent.
And if you’re still reading this, I hope you do the same. For your team. For your family. For yourself.
Because starting 2026 with clarity and energy is the best gift we can give each other.
Wishing you and your loved ones a restful holiday, a merry Christmas, and a very happy New Year.
Recharge fully. 2026 awaits.
