Lalbagh is Bengaluru’s living heritage and not real estate piece for sale.

This morning, I met walkers, families and regular visitors at Lalbagh. They all had one message - Stop the Tunnel Road project.

CM Shri @DKShivakumar had assured Bengalureans that Lalbagh would be protected. But the State Government in its own affidavit submitted to Hon’ble High Court says nearly 5 acres will be permanently acquired. Which version should Bengaluru believe?

The State Government should stop pursuing misplaced priorities.

Lalbagh is Bengaluru’s pride, not a place for commercial complexes.

I'm the new CEO of https://t.co/HWoSq2ihgB, a company building something I'm deeply passionate about: making AI private, accountable, and worthy of the trust we're about to place in it.

Coming from Amazon Web Services (AWS), I learned to start in one place: the customer. Customer obsession. Solve a real problem that customers actually have.

That's what we're doing. We're building the trust layer for the agentic era:
1/ Privacy-first AI, grounded in YOUR data
2/ An identity you own and control
3/ Agents held to the same standard as the people they represent. Verified, bounded, accountable.

This isn't new thinking for us. Equs, Inc has been working on identity, trust, and digital ownership for over a decade, because we knew the digital world would eventually demand it.

You'll be hearing a lot more from us. And we will be hiring. I need the best AI engineers out there and a Customer Success ROCKSTAR!

I'd love to know if you're looking at privacy-based AI. If so, I want to talk to you.

P.S. I'm still advising @unstoppableweb and will be there through the ICANN fun, so if you're a partner, I'll still be around to assist.

Minister @PriyankKharge Wrong-side driving, beating traffic lights, not wearing helmets had become common. This is jeopardizing lives of pedestrians. I walk every day and it is becoming more scary. Please ask the police to book them, stop this and save lives. Police stand and watch this if at all they are there. I walk in the CBD. @DgpKarnataka @CPBlr @Jointcptraffic

Nine years ago, we set out to solve a problem nobody had solved for a country like India: how do you let large enterprises and governments (having complex integrations) have real conversations-voice-enabled, multilingual, at population scale with hundreds of millions of users?

There was no platform for that, so we built one.

Today, that platform is CoRover + BharatGPT:
📊 1.8 billion users
 🌐 100+ languages
 🔁 3 trillion+ interactions
 ⚡ 65M monthly active users
 🎯 99% accuracy
 👩‍💻 90,000+developers and researchers building on the platform
 🚀 Agents built in seconds, not weeks

Our clients aren't edge cases. They're the backbone of a billion-user economy India's top insurance company, the world's largest railway network by passengers, leading metro systems, major payments infrastructure, top banks, and NGOs. We're proud that our agents also serve the Indian Army, Navy, and shipping sectors.

Our architecture is modular by design from our own BharatGPT foundation models, built on NVIDIA's CUDA and NeMo stack, to our proprietary ASR/TTS layers, agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and enterprise-grade security, privacy, and guardrails. Every layer is engineered to work together seamlessly, with trust and security built in from day one not bolted on as an afterthought.

Recognized by global leaders like Satya Nadella, The Hon'ble PM of India, Narendra Modi and more. Featured on NVIDIA's Sovereign AI page. Backed by a leading Indian bank and strengthened by our recent partnership with Google DeepMind, we're building a powerful ecosystem of strategic collaborations to accelerate our data, compute, R&D, engineering, and global go-to-market capabilities.

What we've proven in India agentic AI at human scale, for a billion people we're now taking to the US, UK, and Canada.

We're not just building AI Agents.
We're building the infrastructure for population-scale AI.

Come build with us.

People often ask, "What have you achieved in your life?"

The answer is in this video.

My writ petition, W.P. No. 27356 of 2019, led to action against around 300 illegal brick kilns in Coimbatore. Today, large herds of elephants are reclaiming their habitat. Black leopards and even tigers are returning to these landscapes.

There can be no greater reward than witnessing nature heal itself. These are the moments that will make me dance all the way to my grave with a smile.

The most pressing issues affecting Bengaluru are traffic congestion, pothole ridden roads, inefficient waste management, and flooding during the monsoon due to waterlogging.

My primary goal is to find lasting solutions to these problems and create an environment where the people of #Bengaluru can live peacefully, safely, and with a better quality of life.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರನ್ನು ಕಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಮುಖವಾಗಿರುವುದು ಟ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ , ಗುಂಡಿ ಬಿದ್ದ ರಸ್ತೆಗಳು, ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ವಿಲೇವಾರಿ, ಮಳೆ ಬಂದರೆ ಎಲ್ಲೆಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ನೀರುನುಗ್ಗುವ ಪ್ರವಾಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಇದೆ.

ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ಈ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಹುಡುಕಿ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮಹಾಜನತೆ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯಾಗಿ ಜೀವನ ಸಾಗಿಸಲು ಅನುವು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಡುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಗುರಿ.

I would like to thank them for the trust they have in Bengaluru and Karnataka. They are ready to partner with us. We have given them opportunities for various research and innovation here. The entire world is looking at Bengaluru."

People around the world may not know: India is opening an airport or terminal every 75 days. Some 80 airports have been built in the last 10 years, more than what India has built in the preceding 7 decades since independence. And the airports look like this.

[kris gopalakrishnan @kris_sg]

31 km took 2 1/2 hours today. It is only becoming worse. Traffic, condition of roads, and poor discipline

3 decades of illegal encroachment, cleared 3 years ago & Nature has reclaimed what was rightfully Hers.

The majestic elephants are back at the southern periphery of Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary.

Eviction DOES result in restoration and its continuation will be OUR policy.

[Bhaskar Rao @Nimmabhaskar22]

It’s extremely laudable that @krishnabgowda is clearing the muck on Bengaluru footpaths which had gathered over years of misrule.
Footpaths definitely will look clean. As a former Cop, am deeply concerned about the reactions of countless Bussiness dispossessed poor people who were eking out an honest living.
These people need to be sent to hawking zones or shandies created on Government Land.
I trust that @krishnabgowda is a sincere and sensitive leader. Many take to crime and dangerous activities if they are robbed of their possession and occupation.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Tomorrow, 4th July, is a very special day for the people of Jodhpur. The New Terminal Building of Jodhpur Airport will be inaugurated. Jodhpur has a very important place as far as tourism in India is concerned. This upgraded infrastructure will encourage more tourists to come to Jodhpur. It will boost commerce as well.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

Spent 3 hrs from 10:30pm to 1:30am on ORR, reviewing the ORR revamp plans & challenges from KR Puram to Iblur Jn led by BLR Dev Minister @krishnabgowda

🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK

From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.

📊 WHY THIS MATTERS

30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways

✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance

It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.

🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND

Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.
