Co-founded in 2025 by Varun Khare, Shreyas Srinivas, and Alaap Gosher, thumpN is an AI-native discovery and ticketing platform that unifies discovery, ticketing, and on-ground tools for fans, artists, venues, and promoters. Its conversational AI agent, Shadow, is backed by a network of co-curators - genre specialists, venue insiders, and city-embedded tastemakers.
At the centre of the platform is Shadow, thumpN's conversational AI agent designed to help fans find highly contextual live experiences through natural conversation rather than traditional search. Shadow understands intent, maintains conversational context, and reasons across events from multiple sources.
Behind it is a network of contributing curators - artists, promoters, venue insiders, and genre specialists embedded across cities, whose on-the-ground signals continuously sharpen Shadow's taste. The result is recommendations that carry both AI precision and human cultural instinct, growing more personalised with every interaction.
The platform also simplifies life for organisers, artists, venues, and promoters through AI-native onboarding and partner-first infrastructure, giving them sharper insights into their audiences and stronger tools to plan, market, and scale their events.
