[IIT Bombay @iitbombay]

AI that thinks in India's own languages.

IIT Bombay is proud to present BharatGen to the world: Open, multilingual AI for India's languages and people, at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France (14–16 June).

BharatGen is built at IIT Bombay's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, led by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, with Rishi Bal (CEO) and Dr. Maneesh Singh (VP, ML) with a consortium of 9 premier academic institutions. A team of 60+ researchers, engineers and linguists are building AI that includes all scheduled Indian languages, across text, speech and documents.

-> Param2, its foundational text model with reasoning, coding, and tool calling capabilities works across all 22 scheduled Indian languages

-> Shrutam2, for automatic multilingual speech recognition/ STT across Indian languages

-> Sooktam2, a text-to-speech models with zero-shot voice cloning across Indian languages

-> Patram, a document vision model built for understanding Indian-specific documentation

BharatGen powers services in governance, healthcare, education, insurance, finance, and cultural preservation.

A national effort backed by DST and the IndiaAI Mission, BharatGen is India's push for open, homegrown AI, built for 1.4 billion people.

@mehulmpt Welcome to Dubai !

[Humanoids daily @humanoidsdaily]

The man who put 50 million Roombas in our homes is back with a new vision for "Artificial Life".

iRobot co-founder Colin Angle’s new startup, Familiar Machines & Magic, just unveiled "Familiars"—expressive, soft-coated quadrupeds designed for human connection rather than factory labor.

With 23 degrees of freedom and strictly on-device AI, these robots aim to conquer the $2.5 trillion "emotional work" frontier without the privacy risks of the cloud.

@SajhiAngel Working in Australia must be breeze than grind i think 😊

I’ve honestly started getting a little jealous of how much the expats love Dubai and the UAE it’s so pure! ❤️

Let them step back and give us locals the spotlight to defend our home for once. From today, you’re not just residents you’re true lovers of the UAE!

Thanks 🙏

[PK @PKGulati]

32 years later, I am still glad to call UAE my home, a nation that has continuously taken care of its residents and nationals every time there is a challenge. 



Reach out if you or anyone you know needs help, we are all here to help each other out.

@ku1deep @thelayerproject Nice look ! Where in Dubai and for how long? Let's catch up if you are free over weekend.

[G I R E E S H @bytestreetboy]

@VedikaGhotane True. The issue is even if you try to have honest conversations, they will further blame you for the situations !

[Kian Sadeghi @KianSadeghi5]

I strongly agree with @sequoia here. Application layer is king for the AI revolution.

There is no doubt one of the — if not the — most valuable of such companies will be in *consumer* healthcare. Today that sounds like an oxymoron. Tomorrow it will just be known as healthcare.

@Sunilkharb3 @ajunsonu @Anurag5479Gupta @datta_arvind UAE is just 2.5 hours from India(Mum-Pune). Indian food, Indian schools, no language issues, best in class infra, no tax 😊

@paraschopra must have been crazy experience for you ! I did this in 2021 at Skydive Dubai.

[G I R E E S H @bytestreetboy]

@theunnamedtweet @deepakshenoy @insurya204 Yes it is. This was not cloud seeding for sure.

[Amit Paranjape @aparanjape]

#Pune has two leading industry areas in the country (easily among top-3 such clusters nationally) for the last three decades.

1. Hinjawadi: top IT/Software destination

2. Chakan - Talegaon - top destination for auto-industrial

Unfortunately, both have horrible connectivity!
