India AI 🚀🚀

It has been the week for @SarvamAI ! Now say hello to @thinkwithalma - founded by @vinodgansan and @findingnische - founding engineers at #Sarvam! The product is super early and will evolve rapidly - give it a spin and share feedback with them! @pushpakkedia @_surgeahead

[ShaktiProcessors @ShaktiProcessor]

Go India! More SHAKTI to you!

[Pratyush Kumar @pratykumar]

Drop 3/14: Our Conversational Agents platform, Samvaad, now powers over a million minutes of interactions daily. Every month our TAM estimates keep increasing as we discover new use cases, not thought possible earlier - population scale outreaches, hybrid onboarding journeys over phone and WhatsApp, 24*7 sales assistants, ...

Here is a real conversation between a merchant and B2B marketplace support agent.

[ShaktiProcessors @ShaktiProcessor]

Congrats Prof Kamakoti. Team SHAKTI is proud of your achievement. This momentous project wouldn’t have existed if not for you. Very well deserved. Onto bigger heights!

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti will be conferred the Padma Shri award.

He says, "The Padma Shri award means only thing to me, that I will put all the best efforts towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047, this award is not possible as an individual, it's a collective effort, I dedicate this award to all who contributed... It is because of them I am getting this award."

This is a richly deserved honour to Prof Kama. I’m happy to see this. I was a core member of SHAKTI, where I kickstarted my career and my IITM graduate studies in Prof Kama’s tutelage! His tenacity of purpose for SHAKTI and the nation was unwavering from the get-go!

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

You know you’re getting old when your friends start becoming profs in IITs and IISCs.

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

Content is King, and distribution is God.

So, is “context” Brahman, the ultimate reality?

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

Very interesting to learn the intricacies of Netflix and Warner Bros. deal. Read all about it in our Almanac weekly!

[Almanac @thinkwithalma]

“We’re builders, not buyers,” Netflix told investors for years.

That’s why the reported Warner Bros. move is interesting. Not as a deal, but as a signal of how streaming economics have quietly changed.

The new Almanac newsletter breaks down what this moment says about libraries, distribution, and why endurance matters more than short-lived hits.

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

It’s amazing to see @SarvamAI releasing the conversational AI platform. Many of us have worked on this in the last several months which many customers have been piloting and adopting stably and rapidly.

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

@aviralbhat There’s @incoresemi trying to unlock the real potential by building on the bedrock of Indian fabless semiconductor promise incepted by @ShaktiProcessor @ IITM. Check them out.

@ICarjunmenon

[Arjun @ICarjunmenon]

@vinodgansan @svembu @ShaktiProcessor @incoresemi @svembu Would love to discuss with you on what we are building at InCore

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

@svembu You should know about our @ShaktiProcessor team. We built the first homegrown microprocessor in India, and I am happy to say I was part of the 5 member team.

The core cracked team has transitioned to start-up @incoresemi - you should check them out. I transitioned to DL and LLMs

[Vinod Ganesan @vinodgansan]

Happy to see the culmination of our efforts @SarvamAI in the last few months bear fruit. Like we mention, this is just v0.1 and there’s a long way to go :) Look forward to critical feedback and questions from the community for improving future models!

[ShaktiProcessors @ShaktiProcessor]

Shakti FTW 🏆

[IIT Madras @iitmadras]

@iitmadras is a hub for indigenous design of #semiconductor chips. Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, #IITMadras and his team are working on India's first indigenously developed RISC-V #microprocessor, 'SHAKTI'.

Thanks to the visionary whose observational predictions became one of the most significant laws driving human progress!

[ShaktiProcessors @ShaktiProcessor]

A momentous start for @ai4bharat: a community from IITM determined to bring parity wrt English in AI for Indian languages with #OpenSource, datasets, models, and apps. Hearty wishes to the team for the launch of Nilekani Center with generous contributions from @NandanNilekani

[AI4Bharat @ai4bharat]

The team behind AI4Bharat and many more who are joining us online. Thanks for making the event successful @MiteshKhapra @anoopk @pratykumar @vivek_raghavan @GokulNC @sumanthd17 @tahirjmakhdoomi @kaushal_py @gowtham_ramesh1 @abhigyan_r @pranjalchitale @b_aravinth @AnanyaSaiB

[KC Sivaramakrishnan @kc_srk]

Congratulations to my student Sai @V_SVK97 for winning the Prime Minister's PhD Research Fellowship 🎊🎉! Super proud.

Sai's research looks at the security hardening of contemporary applications and incrementally moving towards secure-by-construction software.

[ShaktiProcessors @ShaktiProcessor]

#ShaktiProcessor FTW! Proud moment to all existing and past team members: @neelgala11 @arjunmenon42 @vinodgansan @RahulAtTwitr @vishvesh3790 @mjsraman and many others from @iitmadras

[IIT Madras @iitmadras]

Hon'ble MoS for Electronics & IT, Shri @Rajeev_GoI launched the Digital India RISCV (DIR-V) Program. It is a dream come true for project @ShaktiProcessor of @iitmadras & @VegaProcessor of @cdacindia. Prof V Kamakoti, Director, @iitmadras will be the Chief Architect of the program
