I read and write, love the audio form, cherish cinema, enjoy science and philosophy, study Buddhism, and keep things simple... unless I don't.

@girichaitanya19 @SwarajyaMag Chaitanya 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 any of this can even be put down (surely imperfectly) by a layperson like me through the vehicle (Rolls-Royce-like) of expert & experienced voices like yourselves. Thank you always! PS: Shout out to another expert voice here in the comments - @cvkrishnan :)

With an hour to go for the big launch @pratykumar of @SarvamAI tells me, we have answered the question Can India do a frontier model? “WE CAN”. This is a ground up model built in #India. We need to be efficient, can't have trillions of dollars spent to build an AI model. Per capita consumption of intelligence in the country needs to be considerably higher @CNBCTV18Live @CNBCTV18News #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #Sarvam

it has come to my attention that this is not universal knowledge

you can just type https://t.co/prfdqNqr5m or https://t.co/HMVIGA1uSh into your browser

and it will immediately open a new google doc or sheet

@0xastro98 @suhasasumukh @itsarnavb Oh, wow… would love to learn about it. Hit me up on your time.

[Karan Kamble @astrokaran]

Spoke to good folks @suhasasumukh, @itsarnavb, and others to capture this inspiring underground tech/innovation movement in Bengaluru - young founders/builders not just building good stuff themselves but also actively helping each other do so, and in the process,...

[Karan Kamble @astrokaran]

@suhasasumukh @itsarnavb @localhostIND ...to tackle important civic, for-the-greater-good stuff, as happens at @_lagrangepoint.

https://t.co/fnOXF1eure

[Karan Kamble @astrokaran]

@suhasasumukh @itsarnavb ...creating open spaces to experiment & innovate freely within specific, relevant contexts & unearthing/encouraging new, bright talent, as @localhostIND does, especially beyond the metros. Lovely to see pressure-free creative play amongst techies in quiet, personal spaces...

2. “The threats that we are wanting to ward off are quite complex, heterogenous, and they entail both state and non-state actors, especially on our north-eastern front. And also on the western front, it is safe to assume that Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan have become zones of great power games. So we are not just fighting extremist, anti-India elements sitting in these three zones, but we are also fighting their backers who are in the dark right now. These players are quite space-capable. They are enabling a lot of anti-India factions....And for that reason, whatever we have as our space-based assets for the past 15-20 years are no more sufficient. The faster we move, the more assets and contingencies we have in space, the better it is for us.”

@SolidBoosters Hi, would like to speak with you. How can I reach you, please?

[Amar Govindarajan @amargov]

A @swarajyamag exclusive - ONDC, meant to be a public good UPI-like infra for e-commerce, is struggling. Sort of.

@itsarnavb @quest_sh Pleasure all mine, thanks for the opportunity!

[Karan Kamble @astrokaran]

There's a need to think differently about how to spot & hire tech talent in India. Gotta move past metrics like college degrees, grades & names to unearth extraordinary talent, often hidden, undervalued, misallocated. In this light, wrote about @quest_sh:

@shruthibadri @quest_sh Thank you, that’s very kind of you! Keep rocking with Quest, Kate, and other exciting - and pertinent - stuff you’re building. 🙌
