@compmanish @SarvamAI @pratykumar 10 Billion dollars is something @SarvamAI needs. If they have to sell 20% of the company sell it. Sell it to @TataCompanies and Make this AI one of the best for Indian context... Everyone uses it for their backend.

.@SarvamAI should raise $10B at a $100B valuation.

Focus:
- Win the edge in India's vast languages.
- Build cheaper and more effective AI than global alternatives.
- Every company scaling in India should use Sarvam as its AI backend.

#SarvamAI @pratykumar #Ai #India 🇮🇳🙏

[J.D. Rathore @Advice4India]

.@SarvamAI should think at a massive scale.

Raise billions, build India’s AI infrastructure, dominate Indian languages, provide affordable AI APIs, and become the backend for millions of Indian companies.

The goal should not be to create another it should be as AI champion.

@infinitipill @SarvamAI @pratykumar Fuck rupees world works in dollar, talk dollars.

10 Billion dollars is something @SarvamAI needs. If they have to sell 20% of the company sell it. Sell it to @TataCompanies and Make this AI one of the best for Indian context... Everyone uses it for their backend.

Zoho views itself as "self-funding R&D labs". That is why we stay private. This model won't suit VCs or public investors.

Outside of Zoho, we invest in founders (almost all engineers or scientists) with that same world view.

Signal Chip and Netrasemi

vTitan and Voxelgrids

Ultraviolette and Boson Motors

GenRobotics

Zentron Labs and Pilabz

... and a few more not yet announced.

All with this world view. None of them obsess about "exit". The last two even have "labs" in their name!

The American approach of stock market capitalism is not the only path. We believe that model does not suit Bharat well, definitely not for building deep tech. We need a lot more "self-funding R&D labs". We will remain this way.

[IIT Bombay @iitbombay]

AI that thinks in India's own languages.

IIT Bombay is proud to present BharatGen to the world: Open, multilingual AI for India's languages and people, at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France (14–16 June).

-> Param2, its foundational text model with reasoning, coding, and tool calling capabilities works across all 22 scheduled Indian languages

-> Shrutam2, for automatic multilingual speech recognition/ STT across Indian languages

-> Sooktam2, a text-to-speech models with zero-shot voice cloning across Indian languages

[Iran in India @Iran_in_India]

Alright, done? Now tell us: what commitments are you offering to Iran? Or is it the usual story that Iran makes commitments while everyone else just makes demands?

#BREAKING: First Vessel to Pass Through the Strait of Hormuz Following the Announcement of the US-Iran Agreement: The Indian LNG tanker Disha has passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Carrying a cargo from Qatar, the tanker transited via the Iranian route near Larak Island.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.

This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.

If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

Bengaluru-based fintech unicorn @Razorpay has confidentially filed draft papers with SEBI for an IPO expected to raise $500–$600 million, making it one of the latest new-age tech firms to use SEBI's confidential pre-filing route that allows companies to submit draft documents without immediately disclosing sensitive financial and business details.

The company has roped in Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra Capital, JP Morgan, and Citi for its proposed public listing, last valued at $7.5 billion in 2021 when it raised $375 million during the funding peak.

Founded in 2014 by IIT Roorkee graduates Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar, Razorpay has emerged as India's largest fintech platforms offering payment processing, banking, and financial infrastructure solutions enabling merchants to accept payments via credit/debit cards, UPI, net banking, digital wallets, and BNPL services.

Backed by GIC, Peak XV Partners, Tiger Global, Lightspeed, and Y Combinator, the company expanded beyond payment gateways into banking services, payroll management, and international payments. The confidential filing comes months after Razorpay completed its reverse flip in May 2025, shifting its parent domicile from the US to India, with Mathur stating the company intended to pursue an IPO after completing the restructuring.
