AI Photography is redefining Indian Wedding Experience: Real Weddings to Fake Weddings: India can’t have enough of these celebrations.

1) Indian Wedding season is starting and this startup has a pipeline of over 1000 wedding shoots to execute.

2) Indian Weddings are become grander and longer every year. Weddings now last over a week on an average.

3) Indian Weddings have a photography budget starting from a minimum of Rs 1L and going upto Rs 25L with celebrity photographers.

4) Weddings have to be Instagramable. This is what the clients want the most from its photography teams. Fast and superior post production are key to achieve this goal.

5) Gen AI is redefining the wedding photography and its fast delivery. @dhiyavasu @palanshagarwal are investing heavily to make Indian weddings to be most social and enjoyable for the family and their friends.

6) Latest Fad is “Fake Weddings,” from Bride and Groom to Baratis, everything is an act and seems like people are willing to pay a price to be part of such wedding experiences. Especially a hit with foreign tourists.

7) Couples want to continue celebrations for years after the wedding: First Holi, First Diwali, First New Year, Child’s birth, birthdays….all are becoming grander and Instagram friendly.

After Grocery, Weddings is the second biggest spend category for Indians.

@mehulmpt @Razorpay Ah this is scary. At present, this rollout does not seem for everyone, as we @eventgraphia were able to receive the status of all payments today.

Also curious to know more about your UPI solution.

Don't be just a wrapper

@kunalb11 posted a tweet (linking below) yesterday asking about interesting AI products being built in India. The thread had nearly 300 to 400 replies, and after reviewing most of them, I could categorize the majority of the apps as CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) built on top of various mediums such as text, image, video, or voice. Building an app with the premise that current OpenAI or LLMs don't perform a specific task, and therefore you will do it, can lead to disaster. It's like judging a growing human being – a 3-year-old child who will become much more knowledgeable by the age of 5. You cannot judge a 3-year-old and conclude that the child is not smart enough.

This is how we should treat LLMs. Every time there is an OpenAI update or a new release, many startups become irrelevant because they realize they cannot sustain their business, as the updated OpenAI can now perform the tasks they were doing. Another perspective is that we are attempting to confine an extremely powerful technology like LLMs, which can be compared to a genie capable of doing anything, into a limited space such as mobile apps or websites. It's like bringing in a highly talented individual like Raghuram Rajan to solve simple math problems – while he can do it, it doesn't allow him to reach his full potential, as someone of his calibre should be solving greater world problems.

Similarly, when we bring LLMs and try to contain them within websites and apps, we are limiting their potential and not utilizing the medium they are meant to reside in. By building a code editor, video editor, image processor, or any other tool, you will not be outcompeted by a rival building a better website. Instead, you will be surpassed by a company that starts providing humanoid robots or multi-purpose agents. Just as the evolution of smartphones killed many industries, from watches to phone books to cameras, in an unexpected manner, you will not be overthrown by another website or app but by a company that revolutionizes human-computer interaction through voice or other means.

It's crucial to consider this carefully before investing time, money, and resources into building LLMs using apps and websites in an old-school way. While I don't mean to discourage building, one should be open to evolving and changing because the container under which you're trying to put the content is going to change. If you focus too much on the container, you will be overthrown by something else, as the game has completely changed.

We live in an era where it's easy to build but difficult to figure out what to build.

The secret to good relationships? Accept family and friends for who they really are.

We always forget everyone is different and try to confine others in a box of expectations. This does more harm than good. The uniqueness of the other person is lost.

Lovely read @MoyaSarner

Think again! 📉

The market is forward-looking, often adjusting before the recession hits. Stay informed, stay patient.

Reflecting on my time at @LNMIIT_official studying Computer Science Engineering, I've realized the invaluable lesson of adaptability and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. From last-minute quizzes to surprise assignments, readiness for anything was key.
