What does #AI look like when rooted in justice & community voices? It looks like #JustAI, a people-first vision shaped by India's Constitutional values.

Let’s build tech that protects dignity & strengthens democracy.

मासिक धर्म सिर्फ एक शारीरिक प्रक्रिया नहीं, बल्कि हर दिन गरिमा, समानता और पहुंच के लिए एक संघर्ष है।

-माहवारी शिक्षा
-सैनिटरी उत्पादों की उपलब्धता
-सुरक्षित स्वच्छता सुविधाएं

हर महिला का अधिकार है इन्हें सम्मान से जीना।

This is just me at your house party on a couch in your drawing room with a G&T in my hands talking about the #AmbaniWedding but it’s also on @spotifyindia now somehow!

I argue that as much as it was a grotesque spectacle of wealth + power in a new shiny India with huge cracks in it, if we were, in fact, invited, we’d all go to this wedding in a heartbeat. I know it’s a hot take. I’m sure there’s a million other ways to look at it.

Thank you @thinkingpplpod @ketakisharma95 and @SanayaSans
