Turning innovation into culture.
Web3, AI, creators, cats, and coffee. Not in that order.

[Piyush @pyushbhatia]

Last week the US government ordered Anthropic to cut off its best AI models for every foreign national, overnight, on national security grounds.

If you run your business on AI you don’t own, your access isn’t yours. It’s someone else’s call.

That’s the case for sovereign AI.

Nadella made the same point this weekend. Build token capital you own. Now scale it to a country.

Most frontier models are trained in the US or China, so they don’t know your language or your culture. And they can disappear on a Friday.

At @ErosInnovation, that’s our bet. India’s sovereign cultural AI, 1.5 trillion cultural tokens, built with IIT Chennai. Ours to own, not rent.

The winners won’t be whoever used AI the most. They’ll be whoever can’t be switched off.

The next startup might not hire employees.
It might hire AI agents.
Tools like Paperclip let you run a company made of AI — CEO, marketer, engineer — all working together.
We’re moving from writing prompts to giving goals.

[Piyush @pyushbhatia]

AI is quietly changing how products get built.

Tools like Google Stitch mean the journey from idea → prototype is shrinking from days to minutes.

Design won’t disappear.
But prototyping, wireframing, and early product exploration are about to get much faster.

The teams that win in the next few years won’t just build better products.

They’ll test more ideas, faster than everyone else.

Speed of iteration is becoming a competitive advantage.

Comment “Design” and I’ll send the link.

Thank you Hon’ble Minister Shri @kanduladurgesh ji for the constructive discussions.

At Eros Innovation, we are excited to explore how Large Cultural Models (LCM) can help build the world’s first Cultural AI Tourism Ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh.

Under the vision of Hon’ble CM Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu @ncbn and guidance of Dy CM Shri Pawan Kalyan @PawanKalyan, this initiative can bring together temples, heritage, storytelling and technology to create immersive cultural experiences for global audiences — while unlocking new opportunities for the creator economy and youth employment.

We look forward to working with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to help position the state as a global leader in immersive heritage tourism and cultural AI innovation.

ముంబయిలో జరుగుతున్న 24వ ఇండియన్ అసోసియేషన్ ఆఫ్ అమ్యూజ్‌మెంట్ పార్క్స్ అండ్ ఇండస్ట్రీస్ (IAAPI) ఎక్స్‌పోలో ఎరోస్ ఇన్నోవేషన్ ప్రతినిధులతో చర్చలు జరిపాను. భారతీయ సంస్కృతి, పురాణాలు, భాషలు, కథా సంప్రదాయాలను ఆధారంగా చేసుకొని రూపొందించిన ‘లార్జ్ కల్చరల్ మోడల్స్’ టెక్నాలజీతో ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో ప్రపంచంలోనే మొట్టమొదటి ‘కల్చరల్ ఏఐ టూరిజం ఎకోసిస్టమ్’ ఏర్పాటు చేసే అవకాశాలపై చర్చించాము.

ముఖ్యమంత్రి శ్రీ నారా చంద్రబాబు నాయుడు గారి విజన్, ఉప ముఖ్యమంత్రి శ్రీ పవన్ కళ్యాణ్ గారి మార్గదర్శకత్వంలో రాష్ట్రంలోని పురాతన దేవాలయాలు, చారిత్రక కట్టడాలు, గొప్ప సాంస్కృతిక గాథలను ఆధునిక సాంకేతికతతో అనుసంధానం చేస్తూ పర్యాటకులకు ఇమ్మర్సివ్ డిజిటల్ అనుభూతులు అందించే దిశగా ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్ ముందుకు సాగుతుంది.

ఈ భాగస్వామ్యం ద్వారా ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ సంస్కృతి, వారసత్వ సంపదను ప్రపంచానికి పరిచయం చేయడంతో పాటు పర్యాటక రంగంలో సాంకేతిక విప్లవానికి నాంది పలకడం, అలాగే రాష్ట్ర యువతకు క్రియేటర్ ఎకానమీ ద్వారా కొత్త ఉపాధి అవకాశాలు కల్పించడమే లక్ష్యాలుగా ముందుకు సాగుతున్నాము. సాంకేతికత, సంస్కృతి, పర్యాటక రంగాల సమన్వయంతో ఇమ్మర్సివ్ హెరిటేజ్ టూరిజంలో ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌ను గ్లోబల్ లీడర్‌గా నిలబెట్టేందుకు కూటమి ప్రభుత్వం కట్టుబడి ఉందని తెలియజేస్తున్నాను.

AI isn’t just sitting on top of networks anymore - it’s being built into them.

At Mobile World Congress 2026, @nvidia and a global coalition of telecom leaders - including BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, Nokia, SoftBank Group Corp., SK Telecom, Cisco and T-Mobile - committed to building the next generation of wireless connectivity as AI-native, open, secure 6G platforms.

That changes the game. Connectivity used to move data. Future networks will interpret data in real time.

This means:
• traffic optimized before congestion
• autonomous threat detection
• real-time support for XR, robotics, autonomous systems
• context-aware connectivity at massive scale

AI isn’t becoming an industry. It’s becoming the operating layer of industries.

We’re moving from connected networks to cognitive networks — and that shift has already begun.

Honoured to be part of the launch of Large Cultural Voice Models (LCVM) from Tamil Nadu, in the presence of Thiru @mkstalin, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and with the encouragement and support of Thiru @TRBRajaa, Minister for Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce.

With EROS PersonaAI, we are extending India’s Large Cultural Model stack into performance-aware multilingual voice - preserving emotion, cadence, and cultural nuance across languages.

Grateful for the support of Prof. Kamakoti Veezhinathan and Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and aligned with the broader vision of the IndiaAI Mission.

For me, this moment represents more than a technology milestone. It reflects India’s commitment to building AI that is sovereign, culturally rooted, and globally relevant.

This is the next chapter of Ethical Cultural AI. Built in India - For the world.

In the presence of Thiru @mkstalin, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and @TRBRajaa, Minister for Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce, Govt of Tamil Nadu - we launched Large Cultural Voice Models (LCVM) from Tamil Nadu, alongside EROS PersonaAI - our performance-aware voice and identity stack.

Building on India’s first Large Cultural Model and the launch of Eros Universe at the AI Impact Summit, LCVM extends our sovereign AI stack into multilingual voice - preserving emotion, cadence, and cultural nuance at scale.

Developed with Prof. V. Kamakoti and @iitmadras.
Aligned with the @OfficialINDIAai Mission.
Creating 1,000+ high-skill AI jobs in Phase I.

Today we unveiled India’s first Large Cultural Models (LCMs). AI that understands Indian languages, emotion, and storytelling - not just translates them. 🇮🇳

We also launched Eros Universe - an AI Creator Super App for video, voice, music, avatars & monetisation - built on Ethical Cultural AI.

This isn’t just another AI launch. It’s cultural infrastructure.

Next: activating creators globally and building the world’s first Cultural AI Creator Economy.

The future won’t just speak Indian languages. It will understand Indian stories.

[Piyush @pyushbhatia]

Large Cultural Models (LCMs) mark the transition from language intelligence to cultural intelligence.

AI that understands culture, context, performance, emotion, and multilingual nuance - built for India, from India.

Join us at the event!

NFT Paris cancelling its February conference isn’t just about the market. A fair bit of these conferences are overhyped and overpriced!
Don't even get me started on the bit about 'not returning sponsor money'. I mean - what!

NFTs validated digital ownership. Tokenized IP applies those rails to rights, royalties, and cashflows - unlocking real economic value and offering one of the most natural consumer on-ramps to blockchain.

https://t.co/ug4XUmipFO

[Piyush @pyushbhatia]

Tokenized media assets - films, music, and creator IP - may become the strongest consumer on-ramp to blockchain. By combining emotional engagement with fractional ownership and programmable value, media tokenization can bring millions of users into Web3 without asking them to “care about crypto” at all.

Voyager 1 is now one light-day away. That's so far that a radio signal takes 24 hours to say hello.
Half a century of travel… and it’s only 1/1500th of the way to the closest star.

If that doesn’t remind you how small we are, and how ambitious we can be - nothing will.

Stop guessing where tech is heading.
If you only read one analysis of macro and strategic trends this quarter, make it one of @benedictevans presentations.

He consistently drops one of the most insightful, data-driven looks at the industry twice a year. The recent focus on topics like "AI eats the world" and "AI and Everything Else" is essential reading for understanding how the landscape is fundamentally shifting, from new business models to changing market gatekeepers.
