What does digital independence really look like—and why does it matter who controls your online identity?
In this episode of the Exitfund Podcast, we sit down with Sajan Nair, founder of Agaamin Technologies, to unpack the story behind India’s homegrown answer to the global web. From his early days in advertising to building a decentralized, vernacular-first Internet for India, Sajan’s journey is about questioning what we take for granted: Who gives us our digital “citizenship”? What happens when the Internet itself becomes local? And why is privacy about more than data—it’s about owning your name?
Sajan reveals:
How Agaamin is building a “Bharatiya Internet” with domain names in every Indian language
The hidden power dynamics of today’s Internet—and why the rules are overdue for a rewrite
How a non-tech founder built a deep tech startup, and the pain of convincing engineers to follow
What digital sovereignty means for individuals, governments, and the next wave of creators
The challenges (and opportunities) of going against the global tech status quo
Why the future of social media might not need platforms at all
If you care about technology, language, privacy, or just building something that outlasts the next trend, this conversation will change the way you look at your digital world.
