The defence of Indian IT services misses the larger point.
Nobody seriously expected TCS or Infosys to become OpenAI. These firms generated exports, created jobs, earned foreign exchange and helped stabilise India’s external accounts. By those measures, they have been spectacularly successful. They helped underwrite much of our economic rise.
But explaining why Indian IT did not build frontier AI is not the same as explaining why India did not.
China also had employment challenges, development gaps and vast numbers entering the workforce. Yet it produced firms operating at the technological frontier while continuing to absorb labour at scale.
The real question is not whether Indian IT fulfilled its purpose. It did. The question is whether India built an ecosystem capable of producing world-leading innovation in strategic technologies.
For three decades we became highly skilled participants in other people’s technological revolutions. We adapted, integrated, serviced and scaled. Far less often did we originate.
As AI becomes as strategically important as energy, semiconductors and telecommunications, countries that create foundational technologies will shape the rules. Those that only implement them may remain dependent on others.
India should be proud of what its IT industry achieved. But pride should not become complacency or defensiveness . The challenge before us is to ensure that a nation of India’s scale and ambition is present not only in the marketplace of technology, but also at its frontiers.
Sir you keep on making big statements
I tried to shift my WhatsApp Broadcasts to Arattai
1. Message delivery was slow and failed in many cases
2. One day suddenly I got a prompt to activate end to end encryption. As soon as I accepted all broadcast lists got deactivated with the prompt that End to End encryption is not available for broadcast messages and will start soon. It's been over six months has not happened.
Fact is that Indian Companies have refused to invest in R&D in any meaningful way.
Even in pharmaceuticals where we are market leaders in generics on Wockhardt has been successful in coming out with a branded product.
These people have become old and we should not listen to them. We know it will take years but we do not need it tomorrow and everyone is talking about the future.
The most advanced AI models needs 50/60b $, huge investments in Hyper cloud, and many years! No country apart from US/ China can arbor do it like them. People who comment loosely need to understand this
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

@ravishbharti@1995febAvi@Mecca_nickel Smart city projects are nothing but jumla, so much money went into the gutter. As with most of the schemes, this was just the re labeling.

@akhileshsharma1 बिल्कुल और सिर्फ शहर ही नहीं,आप गाँव जा के देख लीजिए। सरकारी स्कूल खत्म है।उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार ने स्कूल मर्ज किए है, वा भी प्राइवेट स्कूलों का चलन बढ़ता जा रहा है। हाइयर education ka to पूछना मत, गांव हो यह शहर, सबको तगड़ी फीस देनी है। बस फरक कौन कितने आराम से दे रहा है ये अंतर है
