The US and China are racing toward artificial general intelligence.

India is watching from the stands.

Two futures for India as the US-China AI race plays out.

Enjoyed sharing my rollercoaster entrepreneurial journey with @avinashraghava of Saasbomi for this article below.

[Avinash Raghava 🇮🇳 @avinashraghava]

- a JEE topper
- a Medalist from IIT
- an MIT alumni

WOW!

A person holding such credentials is expected to make it big with a #startup hustle too, right?

Wrong!

Humbled and honored to receive this award from my alma mater. IITB has been critical to my endeavors at every stage of my entrepreneurial journey. Though individual award, life is a team sport: blessed to have great friends on "my team", and of course, my "co-founder" Nipa Sheth.

[IIT Bombay @iitbombay]

1/6) India is on fire. 7 people will die/min unless we set up hospital beds+oxygen. Sending concentrators is not sufficient. Hospital beds need that and more! So, #PoojaMalik, #NeerajGarg and I decided to set up https://t.co/mx8SzcPxRl. I will donate $20/re-tweet upto $100K

Interesting article about my rollercoaster entrepreneurial journey across 2 unicorns that vividly shows the agony and the ecstasy that many entrepreneurs will relate to. Also shares the thought process that helped me stay calm in the chaos and carry on.

[Beerud Sheth @beerud]

@devdutt @gupshup @devdutt thank you for being there with us every step of the way through thick and thin. Your guidance and mentorship were critical, especially during the difficult days and key decision points. Every startup needs a board member like you.

I'm excited to announce the latest $100m funding round for @gupshup. This gets us the resources to accelerate our vision of conversational messaging. Looking forward to driving increased innovation and bring new services to businesses globally.
