Slush 2025 showed just how strong Europe’s AI startup scene is.
We’re proud to support teams like @higgsfield_ai, @HeyGen_Official and @Kissan_AI, building the future of AI on Nebius.
Watch the video of our own @MarkieshaTweets sharing her experience at Slush.
In a recent episode of AI Talks by AIM, powered by @Meta , @sunil_abraham of Meta India explored how open-source models like Llama 2 are shaping India’s AI ecosystem. AI researcher Adithya S Kolavi called Llama 2 “a revolutionary step,” crediting it for his own leap from full-stack developer to AI model builder. “Just having them openly available, without any restrictions, helped a lot in my research journey,” Kolavi shared.
@chheplo , PhD, CEO of @Kissan_AI , echoed that sentiment, citing Llama 2’s role in powering Dhenu, one of India’s first agriculture-specific language models. “We used Llama 2 in collaboration with Sarvam AI to train the Dhenu model,” Desai said. For his bootstrap startup, open source was the only option. “If your work is not impactful or used by folks, it’s just a waste of time.”
Both Kolavi and Desai stressed the need for smaller, locally deployed models that serve India’s real-world challenges. Desai highlighted how his AI assistant now works offline on Android phones, a game-changer for rural areas. “You don’t need extension workers to visit villages. You can have small devices with the same knowledge always available.”
Yet, challenges remain. Desai criticised restrictive licenses that block commercial use, urging for more permissive frameworks to nurture AI startups. “We’re still bootstrapped, and working with IndiaAI, Agri Stack, and DPI open source is what makes that possible.”

🆕 Four-year-old agricultural #AI startup @Kissan_AI’s founder Pratik Desai (@chheplo) last month unveiled Dhenu 1.0, a seven billion parameter large language model for agriculture.
We, @Kissan_AI, are partnering with the United Nations (@UNDP) to develop Vernacular CoPilot for Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA) practices. Targeting rural, smallholder, and women farmers. Excited to bring GenAI to remote corners of India and then the world.
Thanks, @vijayshekhar, for visiting the @msft4startups booth at the #GPAI summit and interacting with #foundershub startups!
Congrats to team @Kissan_AI for launching the world’s first Agriculture Large Language Model, Dhenu 1.0, at the summit.
