Indian-origin entrepreneur Dhruv Amin, 33, has gained international attention for a bold move that transformed his startup trajectory. Amin, a former Google product manager who studied and worked in Silicon Valley, co-founded a profitable startup that generated approximately $2 million in annual revenue but chose to shut it down in favour of a new, AI-centric vision.
Partnering with Marcus Lowe, Amin rebranded and rebuilt the company under the name Anything, an AI-driven “vibe-coding” platform that allows users to create software with minimal technical barriers. The pivot was driven by emerging advances in generative AI and the founders’ belief that automation would redefine how software is built.
By April 2025, the new product gained significant traction, quickly achieving a strong revenue run rate. Following an $11 million funding round, Anything is now valued at around $100 million, illustrating how strategic risk-taking and technology foresight can fuel dramatic growth.
Amin’s journey from a successful but modest-sized business to a high-growth AI startup highlights the rising importance of generative AI in shaping the future of technology and entrepreneurship.
