Two takeaways:
1. The Bengal verdict shows one thing unambiguously: the era of dependence on Muslim votes to win election has effectively come to an end in India. Samajvadi Party, RJD, Congress and now TMC.
2. Gen-Z are emerging the pull factor who are fetching entire household votes for the party they like, as if evident from Tamilnadu. Hitherto, it was women.

If you're an AI startup in India, renting processing power from the government to train your model costs about $0.7 per hour. The same hardware on Amazon Web Services costs $3.7. On Microsoft Azure, $6.6. The Indian government is subsidizing AI infrastructure at rates that would make most Western startups do a double-take.

I read all 26 pages of the white paper this tweet links to. The numbers inside are wild.

The IndiaAI Mission has a budget of about $1.2 billion over five years, approved in March 2024. Almost half of that, roughly $500 million, goes straight to building the processing power AI companies need to train their models. The original plan was to deploy 10,000 processors. By December 2025, they had 38,000 running. 3.8x what they promised.

A government open call in January 2025 pulled 506 proposals. The four startups picked first were Sarvam AI, Soket AI, Gnani AI, and Gan AI. Eight more were added by September. India now has 12 separate teams building AI models, ranging from tiny ones for basic chatbots to massive ones rivaling those from the US and China. They cover language, voice, vision, medical diagnosis, material science, and even brain-computer interfaces.

The one I keep coming back to is Sarvam AI. They raised $41 million from Lightspeed, Peak XV, and Khosla Ventures. In May 2025, they released a model built on top of a French AI system (Mistral Small) and customized for Indian languages. It got roasted online. Critics said it was a foreign model in Indian clothing. So they went back and built Sarvam-105B completely from scratch, using Indian hardware under the government mission. It outperformed China's DeepSeek-R1 on certain tests, even though it was a model six times larger. Both were released for anyone to download and use in March 2026.

There's something else buried in the paper I haven't seen another country try at this scale. India is building a copyright system specifically for AI training data. Under a December 2025 government proposal, AI companies can train their models on any copyrighted content they can legally access, books, articles, music, anything. Creators cannot say no. But the moment an AI product makes money, royalties are collected by a centralized government body and distributed back to creators. Singapore allows AI companies to use content without payment. China requires strict consent before training. India is trying a middle path, and publishers are already calling it forced participation.

Stanford's AI Vibrancy Index, which measures a country's overall AI strength across research, talent, infrastructure, and investment, ranked India third globally in 2025. Up from seventh in 2023. But the actual scores tell you how far the gap still is: US at 79, China at 37, India at 22. And India's $1.2 billion budget sits next to China's $47.5 billion semiconductor fund and Saudi Arabia's $100 billion Project Transcendence.

India is currently spending 40x less than the frontrunners. This white paper is the most detailed public bet yet that smart infrastructure design can close that gap.

ISRO has issued a tender to procure three advanced quadruped robotic systems to augment wheeled rovers for future planetary exploration to the Moon and Mars. These four-legged robots mimic animal locomotion and are required to weigh less than 30 kg while supporting a 5 kg payload. Engineered for rugged terrain, the units will feature a top speed of 1.5 m/s, a 25° climbing angle, and a suite of high-tech sensors including multi-line LiDAR and depth cameras for autonomous navigation. The procurement also includes high-end workstations and laptops specifically configured for reinforcement learning training and ROS-based telecommand systems.

India is currently a world leader in this field (I know majority of us would not have an iota of idea 😢) through a Bangalore based startup called Pandorum Technologies (incubated at C-CAMP).

Last month, Pandorum raised $18M to move their flagship product, the Liquid Cornea (Kuragenx), into human clinical trials.

Instead of a solid plastic-like implant, they developed a photo-sensitive hydrogel. A surgeon applies the liquid to a corneal wound & then cures it with a specific wavelength of light. It acts as a biometric matrix that tells the body’s own cells to rebuild the cornea w/o scarring.

Sometimes it genuinely makes me wonder why we do not talk more about our own breakthroughs, & instead get so easily swept up celebrating discoveries that come from elsewhere.

Excited to launch A&M MoCap Lab,

Looking forward for storytellers to explore its limitless potential in animation, live action, gaming and more.

This is landmark judgement!

[Tathvam-asi @tathvamasi6]

Landmark Victory for Bharatiya Civilisation! 🕉️

In a powerful & principled judgment, the Madras High Court (Justice G.R. Swaminathan) has ruled that teaching the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and Yoga does NOT constitute “religious activity” under the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act).

Key takeaways from the December 2025 ruling (Arsha Vidya Parampara Trust case):
•Bhagavad Gita is not a sectarian religious book - it’s a treatise on moral science, ethical guidance, duty (dharma), self-realization, and universal truths. It’s part of Bharatiya civilisation and even a “Rashtriya Dharma Shastra” (as noted from prior precedents).

•Vedanta is pure philosophy - focused on consciousness, reality, and self-knowledge - comparable to any deep philosophical system, not ritualistic religion.

•Yoga is a universal, scientific discipline for physical health, mental discipline, and well-being - “it would be atrocious to view it through the prism of religion.”

The Court set aside the Home Ministry’s rejection of FCRA registration for a trust teaching these subjects, calling the “religious” label misplaced.

Such activities qualify as education, cultural preservation, and social development - fully eligible for foreign contributions under FCRA (which bars only religious propagation/conversion).

This reaffirms:
•India’s ancient knowledge systems are civilisational heritage, not narrow “religion.”

•The State cannot misclassify them to restrict legitimate NGOs/trusts.

•Aligns with constitutional duties to preserve composite culture (Art. 51A).

A huge win for Aatmanirbhar Bharat in preserving & promoting our timeless wisdom without foreign-funding hurdles!
“Bhagavad Gita is not a religious book. It is rather a moral science.” - Justice G.R. Swaminathan

Wonderful to speak with my dear friend President Trump today. Delighted that Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%. Big thanks to President Trump on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India for this wonderful announcement.

When two large economies and the world’s largest democracies work together, it benefits our people and unlocks immense opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation.

President Trump’s leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity. India fully supports his efforts for peace.

I look forward to working closely with him to take our partnership to unprecedented heights.

The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in our solar system.

Even if you somehow burned Jupiter and everything that is not the Sun in a fusion reactor, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all energy.

The Sun is all that matters long-term.

It was the evening of 4th June at the BJP HQ.

Narendra Modi came to address the BJP workers after the NDA returned to power for the third successive time. However, the mood was not as euphoric. The fact that the BJP got 240 seats was not missed. The image of a disappointed Narendra Modi reached every corner of India.

That’s when the people of India instantly felt- we have wronged a man like Modi. Our mistake has made him sad. And then, immediately they took it upon themselves to support their beloved Prime Minister.

We saw what happened next:

BJP returns to power in Haryana. Congress lies on Agniveer failed. Their attempts to misguide the farmers failed.

NDA swept to power in Maharashtra and BJP won 132 seats. Opposition’s casteist politics failed as did their attempts to misguide people on the issue of the Constitution.

Them came Delhi where BJP won for the first time after 3 decades.

And now is the Bihar Tsunami!!

This is the Janta Janardhan saying, “Modi Ji, we are with you, June 4th was a bad dream, March on and make India Viksit!!”
