Akash Accelerate 2025: Nirmal Krishman from Chakra
summary
Chakra builds an open-data protocol with a nextG data warehouse that goes live within a month of incorporation and claims 80% of Snowflake at 20% of the cost using bare‑metal compute like Akos, a cave, and Impossible Cloud. A launched subnet called Scout: 300k downloads, 100k active users, 180 countries yields the largest compliant Twitter and LinkedIn corpus—25× the nearest competitor—and 300+ paying data consumers. A second subnet Pango: paid recordings in USDC collects orders‑of‑magnitude more computer‑use data for model training.
