  • Recall Sessions: How Moveworks Went From First Customer to $2.85B with Bhavin Shah

    Recall Sessions: How Moveworks Went From First Customer to $2.85B with Bhavin Shah
    Mar 11 2026
    Bhavin Shah spent years building Moveworks into the agentic AI platform behind employee support at Toyota, Siemens, Unilever, and hundreds more. In December 2025, ServiceNow acquired Moveworks for $2.85 billion.

    In this episode of Recall Sessions, Somrat Niyogi goes back to the beginning. How did four co-founders find each other? Why did Bhavin and his team run 34 CIO conversations to validate the idea before their first investor wrote a check? How did they close their first customer with nothing but a vision demo — and get contractor badges to work out of the customer's office? And what made them finally say yes to an acquisition after turning down offers for years?

    Bhavin covers the full arc: the founding team, the first customers, how he chose investors, what ChatGPT changed overnight, and what he's building now inside ServiceNow.

  • Parth Patil on Coding Agents, Building Reid AI, and What It Takes to Operate at the Frontier

    Parth Patil on Coding Agents, Building Reid AI, and What It Takes to Operate at the Frontier
    Mar 5 2026
    Parth Patil built Reid Hoffman's AI digital twin from scratch, without engineering team or a software background. Before that, he was a data scientist at Clubhouse. When GPT-4 came out, he cashed out his 401k and spent four months talking to the model every day. He came out of that running Reid's AI work. He now manages a fleet of coding agents for most of his waking hours.

    In this conversation with Village Global VP Sam Kirschner, Parth talks through everything AI: how coding agents have evolved since AutoGPT and BabyAGI, why data analysts tend to make better vibe coders than engineers, how he thinks about multi-agent orchestration and TMUX, context engineering, and what he believes is coming next.

  • Recall Sessions: Tomer London on Building Gusto from ZenPayroll to 400,000 Customers

    Recall Sessions: Tomer London on Building Gusto from ZenPayroll to 400,000 Customers
    Mar 3 2026
    Welcome to Recall Sessions - a series on the Village Global Podcast hosted by Somrat Niyogi, Partner at Recall Capital. Each episode goes deep on how the world's most successful companies got their first customers.

    In this episode, Somrat sits down with Tomer London, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Gusto, to discuss how he and his co-founders built the leading payroll and HR platform for small businesses. Gusto serves over 400,000 businesses today and is valued at $9.5 billion - but it started as ZenPayroll, with a product scoped down to California-only, under five employees, salary only, and no benefits.

    Tomer talks about growing up in his dad's clothing store in Israel and building an inventory system at age 12, cold-calling businesses off Yelp before writing a single line of code, the Thai restaurant lunch that confirmed they were onto something, why charging $2 per employee per month was a mistake, and how building for small businesses is startup in hard mode - but worth it if the pain is big enough.
