if you are a curious engineer, it is so difficult not to have fomo.
every other domain seems interesting
every other book seems worth reading
every other problem seems worth solving
every other project looks like the next big thing
every other framework feels like something you should learn.
literally every single thing is a distraction. imo, there is no way to even deal with that.
India’s wild tiger population has officially more than doubled over the past 15 years, marking one of the greatest wildlife conservation comebacks in modern history.
We are in the weirdest phase right now:
- Juniors can't get hired because every role wants experience.
- Mid-levels are doing the work of 2–3 people.
- Seniors are getting replaced because "AI can do it cheaper."
And somehow every company is still saying:
"We're struggling to find talent."
Ok, so here is my take on the Fable ban, sovereign AI, Sarvam, etc.
The event is interesting as it has implications from many perspectives.
For AI users, it is clear that you should not confuse access with ownership, or adoption itself as advantage. And if the most significant tech differentiator you are leveraging has external control loops, then you have to accept you are vulnerable.
For AI talent, it is now a precedent that you would be *seen* aligning to national interests more than company interests. And even if its just a whim for now, this trend will be hard to reverse as the world gets more automated…
For AI labs, their offerings will be stratified - general purpose AI would be available as utility, but frontier AI would be gated. This is a fantastic business model for labs - *democratized* AI sucks in all the data liquidity of the world which is locked in higher margin frontier offerings.
I think for the world to be a better place, all three of the above are bad vectors. We need to have more countries and companies owning their own destinies. And in the post AI world, that means being able to use and improve AI systems within their own perimeters - what one may call Sovereign AI.
At Sarvam, Sovereign AI in India was the founding thesis a couple of years back, and continues to remain the core operating principle. From our vantage point, it is super clear that India will build, leverage, and create massive business value and societal impact with sovereign AI. The following is precisely how we at Sarvam are contributing to make that happen.
India’s energy supply is fully secure and stable.
There is NO shortage of petrol, diesel, or LPG anywhere in the country. All retail outlets are operating normally, with adequate supplies.
Misinformation and panic-driven narratives are completely unfounded. Citizens are advised to rely only on official sources and avoid spreading rumours.
Government remains committed to ensuring uninterrupted energy access for every citizen. 🇮🇳

China and Pakistan have totally betrayed Iran. The former has totally cut off all support and done nothing than issue "let's talk peace" statement. The latter is allowing the US to use its air space to bomb Iran. Then both are together spreading fake news "India betrayed Iran."
