I had so much fun and learnt a lot during NVIDIA GTC San Jose earlier this year ..

My fellow AI folks and I were bummed out that we couldn’t be part of the GTC edition in Berlin.

So, I’ve decided to throw an online WATCH PARTY 🎉

We'll stream the keynote live from @nvidia YouTube Channel, run a live chatbox with AI Industry Pioneers and Researchers and follow it together with builders and AI enthusiasts from around the world.

Thats not it! Lets follow up with discussions on the frontier of AI post the keynote!

Sirs, this is how an AI University looks like :)

We build 90% of the curriculum in real, globally competitive as a 1 Day Hackathon in Bengaluru…

We can do this everyday, for 1000’s of students and professionals looking to transition to AI !

Anybody else tells anything about how an AI university looks like is a lie 🤖

Happy to execute 😄

Health vs Hustle
I want the community to answer this for me on this thread ….

India is the diabetic and heart attack capital of the world, and I want to use the mileage I received from my recent Physical AI hackathon to remind everyone to eat clean, stay healthy and sleep well 🥬 🍱

swipe till the end to see what im going to offer from the next hackathon…

I posted about the 24hr hack
Half people said Im making people unhealthy by keeping them awake and offering junk food

The other half defended me saying hustle culture looks like this

My Stance : I accept that hustle is great but we are humans at the end of the day, so I’ve decided that henceforth we split the hustle to many days and try to offer healthier ‘options’ at my hackathons!
