As AI reshapes how startups build products and run businesses, the conversation is moving beyond productivity hacks to a deeper question: what does it mean to be AI-native?

That question took center stage at the Snowflake x AWS Mixer on July 3, where a panel explored ‘How AI-Native Startups Are Scaling Revenue Without Scaling Teams’.

Moderated by Shivani Muthanna, Senior Director – Content Partnerships, YourStory, the panel featured Sandipan Mitra, Co-Founder and CEO, Hungerbox; Kaushal Singh, VP, Tech, Jar; Joshua Gautham, Deputy COO (Acting CTO), The Reward Store (A Vananam Company); Sanat Kumar Mohapatra, Director, Product Engineering, Aurigo Software Technologies; and Shobhit Gupta, Principal, Avataar Ventures.

The discussion was followed by a live demonstration from Snowflake showing how agentic AI can move beyond analysing data to reasoning over it and triggering actions through intelligent workflows.
