[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

Finland's education system consistently ranks #1 globally. For parents and educators, partnering with CCE Creative Education offers a direct link to this world-renowned model. #FinlandEducation #GlobalRankings

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

CBSE classrooms are packed with 40 students and endless events, leaving little room for actual learning. Despite best intentions, classroom efforts don't always translate to student performance. #Education #ClassroomChallenges

Research often starts with feeling like you know nothing. But as you write and learn, new ideas emerge. This continuous discovery is the most motivating part of research. #Research #Learning

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

Proud to have a growing network of schools across Asia, Egypt, the Middle East, Europe, and the US embracing CCE Finland accreditation. They showcase their vision and integrate Finnish pedagogy. Witnessing students experience it firsthand! #FinlandEducation #EdTech #GlobalSchools

We talk about adapting to the AI age, but true power lies in reimagining and shaping it. This requires courage, hope, and embracing uncertainty. Learning begins where certainty ends. Let's foster divergent thinking to create a new future. #AI #Innovation #Future

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

AI is a powerful personal tool for generating creative ideas, planning, and clarifying complex problems. It's not about replacing human thought, but enhancing it. #AI #Creativity #Productivity

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

Learning should foster human flourishing and develop our capacities. This includes exploring humanism and planetary perspectives, understanding how learning can shape our responsibilities towards the planet. #LifelongLearning #Humanism

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

Why shun the deep, existential learning humans have always done? Let's nurture this wisdom as a learning process and embrace big questions. Educators, don't shy away—seek relational answers in everyday learning. #LifelongLearning #Education #BigQuestions

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

AI is a monstrous opportunity and threat. Educators can't ignore it, especially with leaders comparing teaching AI to teaching humans. The future demands swift action, not just reaction. #AI #Education

[Heramb Kulkarni @herambk]

School accreditation isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether you're a preschool, a foundational school (K2), or a full K10/K12 institution, there's a specific accreditation path for you. #SchoolAccreditation #Education

This is what I was referring to....on spot

[AYUSH @ayushjha__]

Why Sarvam Is NOT a DeepSeek Moment

I. What made DeepSeek a real moment

Before judging Sarvam, let's establish what the bar actually is.
DeepSeek didn't just build a good model. They did something the entire industry said was impossible at that price point. Their actual contributions were concrete and verifiable:
→ Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) which compressed KV cache in a way nobody had executed before
→ Fine-grained expert routing with auxiliary-loss-free load balancing
→ An FP8 mixed-precision training pipeline that trained a frontier-level model for $6M when competitors were spending $100M+
Then they did something even more disruptive: they open-sourced everything. The weights. The paper. The methodology. The entire world could verify their claims overnight. No trust required.
That is what a moment looks like. Architectural novelty, efficiency breakthrough, and radical transparency. All three. Simultaneously.

II. Why Sarvam Is not that

Sarvam's 105B MoE model is India's most serious homegrown AI effort yet. Trained from scratch. Indic-tuned. Voice-first. Open weights incoming. The execution is real. The engineering grind is real.
The "moment" label is not.
Here's the brutal truth:
The architecture isn't theirs. MoE was Google's in 2017. Mixtral's in 2023. DeepSeek's genius was in the routing efficiency and cost collapse. Sarvam applied the same recipe to Hindi and Tamil. Competent adaptation. Not invention.
"Indic from scratch" isn't novel anymore. AI4Bharat, BharatGPT, Navarasa, Falcon, SEA-LION. Every nation is running the sovereign AI playbook now. Training on local data at scale is a checkbox, not a breakthrough.
No paper. No proof. As of today, there is no arXiv paper, no technical report, nothing peer-reviewed. DeepSeek published methodology so detailed the world reproduced it in 48 hours. Sarvam published a keynote. These are not the same thing.
Open weights in 2026 is not pioneering. Llama, Mixtral, DeepSeek, Qwen. All open since 2023. Promising to do what everyone else already did is not a contribution.

III. What It ACTUALLY takes to have a DeepSeek moment

Architectural Novelty: You must contribute something that did not exist before. A new attention mechanism. A new training technique. Something that makes researchers worldwide stop, read, and rethink.
Fine-tuning someone else's architecture on your local dataset is not novelty. It is homework.
Efficiency That Breaks the Cost Curve: DeepSeek's real disruption wasn't just capability. It was capability per dollar. They made the industry's $100M assumption look embarrassing.
What assumption has Sarvam shattered?
Radical Transparency: You open-source everything. Weights. Training code. Methodology. Every hyperparameter. Because a moment doesn't ask the world to trust you. It dares the world to disprove you.
Independent Verification: Your benchmarks must be reproducible by anyone, anywhere, without your involvement. If only you can confirm your own claims, those aren't claims. Those are advertisements.
Global Impact: A moment permanently shifts what the entire field believes is possible. After DeepSeek, the whole world rethought AI economics. After Sarvam, what changed? What conversation shifted? What assumption died?

IV. The Verdict

A DeepSeek moment doesn't get announced by a PR team. It gets recognized by engineers at 2AM who just ran the benchmarks themselves and can't believe what they're seeing.
Until Sarvam has that?
It's not a moment.
It's a marketing campaign desperately cosplaying as one.

As an NRI visiting India once a year, it's shocking that #Aadhaar #UPDATE machines have been down for a month. No way to update mobile number during my 5-day visit?
@UIDAI @GoI_MeitY @AshwiniVaishnaw – Is this how we aim for #ViksitBharat? Basic services must work. #Aadhaar

Thank you very much for an excellent response by entire Indian and Hindu community across Finland. With such a short notice we could have amazing response of 350 plus like-minded Indians gathered to show support to the victims.

#WATCH | Today, IT professionals and students in Helsinki, Finland, organized a peaceful protest at Senate Square against the brutal killings of 26 innocent individuals in #Pahalgam, #JammuAndKashmir.

Holding banners and pamphlets, the protesters condemned the terrorist attack and paid tribute to the victims. They called on the international community to address this heinous act and take stronger global action against terrorism.
