Folks from @PopVaxIndia, including the wonderful @RMRaghuveer and @dhruvrarora, will be at @NCBS_Bangalore tomorrow from 2-5pm to meet with students, postdocs, and researchers -- please reach out to them by replying to this post or DMing them if you'd like to meet!

[Raghuveer RM @RMRaghuveer]

Looking forward to talking some cool science tomorrow!
DMs are open, would love to chat!

In BLR on Thursday (9th) to hire full-stack biologists, roboticists & ML researchers, as well as smart generalists in tech who want to help save lives instead of SaaS or 5-minute whatever. If this is you, reply with a link to the most interesting or impressive thing you've done.

Getting a bunch of folks working in deep tech together, come say hi!

[Soham Sankaran @sohamsankaran]

In fact, the event is on Wednesday July 8, not July 6 (which is not Wednesday). Apologies all!

[Soham Sankaran @sohamsankaran]

I'm excited to announce that @PopVaxIndia & @_lagrangepoint are hosting a mixer in Bangalore on Wednesday, July 6, for people building deep tech in India, especially in robotics, machine learning, and biotech. Come and say hi!

My team @PopVaxIndia is looking to buy a used FPLC system for protein purification on an urgent basis for our lab in Hyderabad. In particular, we'd be happy with any of:

Cytiva (AKTA)

- AKTA Pure 25 T / M
- AKTA Pure 150 T / M
- AKTA Avant 25 T / M
- AKTA Avant 150 T / M

Bio-Rad

- NGC Scout 100
- NGC Discover 100
- NGC Quest 100 Plus

Email contact (at) popvax dot com or reply below if you are selling one or can connect us with someone who is!

This is just embarrassing

[Pavel Durov @durov]

Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.

The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.

This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.

Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.

Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.

as part of our robotics work @PopVaxIndia, trained a diffusion policy on @anvil_robotics openarm bimanual - pick up a bottle in one hand, pass it to the other, place it on a coaster. 80 episodes, with bottle and coaster start positions generalized along one axis

the hand-off is solid - hits it basically every time. diffusion did much better than ACT here, which kept knocking the bottle over while averaging the trajectory on the lateral grasp. also generalizes to other bottles, though the one it trained on still pulls the policy hardest

@sohamsankaran suggestions for improving this: no-op examples (shadows alone trigger a grasp attempt right now), varied arm start positions for recovery, and more data across both axes

@BharatInnov2026 , Nice, France. We were mid setup at our https://t.co/WbHLNjzBOS demo booth when EAM @DrSJaishankar stopped by unannounced.

What followed was one of those conversations you don’t plan. It was short but we spoke about surgical AI, robotics, and what it means to build technology that makes surgery safer.
Building as an Indian, surgeon and a deep tech enthusiast never felt better

@EduMinOfIndia @MEABharat

[Vinayak Rengan @VinayakRengan]

A few years ago, https://t.co/WbHLNjzBOS was just an idea.

Most people don’t realise how much information exists inside an operating room. Video. Instruments. Workflow. Decisions. Outcomes.

Yet almost all of it disappears the moment surgery ends.

At Curium Life, we’re building technology that can learn from that data and help make surgery safer, smarter, and more precise.

That’s why we’re incredibly proud to be selected as one of India’s most disruptive tech startups for @BharatInnov2026 (Bharat Innovates 2026) Find Balu and me at Booth 73 for the next 3 days at Nice, France.

As a surgeon, I never imagined I’d one day be working alongside engineers and AI researchers trying to teach computers to understand surgery.

But here we are.

Excited to represent https://t.co/WbHLNjzBOS and showcase what Indian deep-tech can achieve on a global stage.

Is it just me or has the garbage situation in Bengaluru become bad?
I've been back for 7 hours and around Jayanagar 1st block and Lalbagh Siddapura Gate, there's stretches of trash (quite smelly) strewn on every corner

@TanayLohia1 I understand they're expensive to get to clinic, but to be appealing doesn't cheaper make sense?

At @PopVaxIndia , we’re building robotic systems to automate wet-lab workflows for mRNA vaccine and cancer immunotherapy R&D.

Training policies for these tasks requires high-fidelity dexterous manipulation data, precision, and tactile feedback. The @wuji_global gloves look like a strong fit for what we’re building.

@Yunzhe_Pan the Wuji team shared a quote with us, and we’ve been trying to move forward with placing the order, but haven’t been able to get a response. Would appreciate any help routing this to the right person so we can complete procurement.

[Soham Sankaran @sohamsankaran]

Hi @Yunzhe_Pan -- we are big fans of @wuji_global's gloves, and we'd love to get access to them to help accelerate personalized therapeutics to save lives from cancer and autoimmune diseases! @PopVaxIndia
