Do you know Tim Draper did an APT reel that’s trending online? 🎵💃 All I taught was to create #WOW moments in everything we do—and this one was no exception. It all began with a simple mention, Vikram Bharati casually shared how his kids were obsessed with the song APT and practicing it for their school day. That sparked a wild idea: “What if we got Tim Draper to make a reel for it?” We weren’t sure if it was the right thing to ask, but we went for it—and boy, are we glad we did! When Tim visited Draper Startup House #Hyderabad, he didn’t just participate; he absolutely owned it. With his signature energy and charm, Tim brought the house down, turning a fun little idea into a reel that’s now trending. What made it even more special was how our team and #DraperUniversity #alumni joined in, making it an unforgettable moment of joy, creativity, and togetherness. And the cherry on top? This happened on the first anniversary of Draper Startup House Hyderabad—a perfect way to celebrate one year of building dreams, fostering community, and, most importantly, having fun. As the Draper University pledge says: "I will pursue fairness, openness, health, and fun with all that I encounter. Mostly fun." What made it even more special was how we would randomly break into the APT dance during the shoot—it became our little inside joke and a fun way to lighten the mood. My absolute favorite moment was just before he bid us adieu, pulling off one last groovy move before parting ways. Here’s to the WOW factor, the trending reels, and all the fun memories we’re creating along the way! 🚀🎉 Have you seen the reel yet? 😉 #MostlyFun #WOWMoments #DraperStartupHouse #TimDraper #APT #Trending #reel #rosé #brunomars Draper Startup House India Karan Bahadur Nivin Joseph Mansi Baheti Sai Chaitanya Kokku Vignesh S Deepika Palreddy
