Trailer and full episode launching this evening on @mundhebanni YT and other podcasting platforms

We didn't ask a single question about their personal lives. It was purely about how Kannada Film "Industry" can overcome the current challenges and produce better quality movies, attract good talent and find bigger distribution.

Both guests spoke very well and I am sure you will like it.

Three years ago, two Harvard dropouts set out to build a better AI chip than the largest companies in the world.

Almost everyone I called at the time said it was impossible.

Today, Etched (@Etched) comes out of stealth with $800M total raised, $1B in signed customer contracts, and a working next-gen AI chip.

This was my excuse to ask the two founders, @UbertiGavin and @robertwachen, every question I have about compute and inference.

We discuss:
- Why they built an entire rack and not just a chip
- The two technical bets behind their architecture no one else has tried
- How two founders in their twenties recruited industry legends
- The night they nearly ran out of money
- Why whoever produces the most tokens wins

If you care about the future of compute, Gavin and Rob are two people to know. I think you will find the story of what they have built hard to forget.

Enjoy!

Krishna Byregowda is perhaps the first Bengaluru Development Minister to convene a meeting exclusively with the GBA’s Animal Husbandry Department on tackling the city’s stray dog issue.

He is also my guru, a lot of inspiration and courage to build lioncircuits by coming back from bay area was from @svembu !

Our new campus in Mulvad is also inspired by the way Zoho is built and Tenkasi operations.

A very Happy Birthday to you Sridhar ji!
Cheers to more zoho like companies from India.!

The economic and demographic effects of corruption.

Cost of land in our urban areas is far higher than what our GDP per capita would dictate. The ratio of land value to per capita GDP is probably higher in India than anywhere else. As an example, land prices in Chennai or Bengaluru rival that of cities like New York which has a vastly higher per capita GDP.

The key reason?

First, vast sums of political corruption money is parked in real estate. This raises real estate prices and high real estate prices affect everything downstream.

Second, corruption in building approvals and the like - the famous DTCP - raises construction costs, on top of already higher real estate costs.

Third, corruption in private school regulatory compliance enforcement raises school fees.

Fourth, corruption in private hospital regulatory compliance enforcement raises health care costs.

Fifth, household goods need sales outlets and those pay higher rents due to high real estate prices and construction costs.

So housing, education, healthcare and household goods - all of these now cost higher.

As a direct consequence, the economic burden on the average person gets worse. Young people, facing all these costs, postpone marriage, and postpone children or have fewer children.

That directly affects our demographics.

While this issue exists in many parts of India, Tamil Nadu, being the most urbanized of the bigger states, is particularly hit hard.

So corruption is becoming an existential threat to our society.

If you worry about the super-low birth rate in Tamil Nadu, way below replacement, understand that corruption raising our cost of living is one of the major causes, not the only cause, but a big one in our context.

Hello World!

I'm excited to share the launch of Hang Ten Systems, a new endeavor to help enterprises thrive in the age of AI.

AI is upon us all like a massive new wave. And I learned a long time ago that when there are big waves around, it is time to surf. Not just to surf, but to hang ten — to master the wave so well that you can walk all the way to the front of the board and hang your ten toes off the front.

Hang Ten is already helping some of the world's biggest and most important enterprises — like Fresenius, Siemens Energy and others — hang ten on the biggest wave of our lifetimes. Our dream is to help enterprises not just transform with AI, but use it as a force to do what no one could do before.

We're backed by a remarkable group. Mayfield leads our round; @NavinChaddha and I were students together at @Stanford and always looked for an excuse to work together. They are joined by @aramcoventures, the strategic venturing arm of Saudi @Aramco, one of the world's largest companies and a key leader in energy and infrastructure, as well as some of Silicon Valley's best-known angels. And I'm privileged that Jerry Yang — also a friend since Stanford — serves on our board. Building Hang Ten with me is the core team I've worked alongside for years: @navinb, @sanjaypaloalto, Tao Liu, Frank Yu, Pradeep Panicker, Yusuf Safdari and ten other big wave surfers.

Over time I'll share more about Hang Ten and our work. For now I'll say only this: I have seen, firsthand, the dramatic things AI delivers for the people and teams who somehow just know what to do with it — I have watched them, and myself, reach in minutes what could take teams years of toil. And I have seen the far greater number who get none of it, and who often end up causing harm instead. In that gap lies the biggest opportunity of our time.

It is time to ride this wave. If you're a surfrider — someone who lights up at the chance to help businesses solve the hardest problems they face — write to us ([email protected])!

[Vasant Shetty | Building Mundhe Banni @vasantshetty81]

Kannada has almost no business podcast culture. No one was telling entrepreneur stories in our own language.

So we built it anyway with @mundhebanni

10 months. 25 episodes. 28 guests.
3M+ views. 450K+ hours watched. 50K+ subscribers.

All in Kannada - an earnest effort of purposeful storytelling.

25 trailers below - one for every guest who said yes.
