Blackstone's Jas Khaira to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt on building AI giants

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will feature Jas Khaira, global head of Blackstone N1, in a session titled 'Building the Next Generation of AI Giants'. Khaira will discuss what Blackstone looks for when backing category-defining AI companies, how founders should think about capital as they scale, and what distinguishes lasting businesses from those with only early traction. The article highlights that AI startups often need enormous capital for compute, data centers, and other infrastructure. Recent Blackstone investments illustrate this trend, including a $600 million primary equity investment in Indian AI infrastructure company Neysa (planned to raise an additional $600 million in debt) and a $1.5 billion joint venture with Anthropic to launch Ode, an AI implementation company, backed by Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs, and others. The session will offer an investor's perspective on evaluating momentum, financing growth, and building for the long term.
