We're thrilled to announce that we have raised $234M in the first close of our $300M Series B at a $1.5B valuation.

@HCLTech and @BessemerVP have joined us in this round, alongside continued support from @khoslaventures and @peakxvpartners

For countries and companies, sovereign control on the AI stack is no longer an optionality. Sarvam will be the partner of choice for this aspiration. The capital allows us to accelerate our momentum towards this full stack of models, compute, and deployments.

A huge thank you to our customers, partners, investors, and the Sarvam team for your trust and belief in what we are building. We’re just getting started.

India’s birth rate has fallen below replacement.

Among those most educated, India’s birth rate fell below replacement many years ago.

Another positive story. True work of influencers.

Telugu Abbayi Kant shared this a couple of days ago.

His “Poorva Sampada Rakshana Sena” is doing tremendous work.

They called for the revival of this ancient well, which had turned into a dumping yard. They received a tremendous response. Children, youth, and adults all came together and participated in this mahayagna.

“Poorva Sampada Rakshana Sena” received the Ugadhi Puraskaram award for their work in reviving ancient wells, ponds, and temples.

The “Mana Gudi Mama Badi” team also participated and helped them.

Maddileti Reddy garu provided breakfast and lunch to all participants. 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼

Location: Ramireddi Palli, Sanjamala Mandal, Nandyal Dt, AP

Thank you, Hon'ble @PMOIndia, for your greetings. The well-being of our people remains our only goal.

​Transcending politics, we shall focus on the State's progress and the welfare of people of Tamil Nadu. We look forward to the Union Government’s support in this endeavor.

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition.

GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before.

Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country.

The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything.

The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot.

Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart.

GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution.

Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time.

For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day.

GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission.

Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru.

Take a bow!

On the sacred occasion of the 259th Birth Anniversary of Saint Tyagaraja, I offer my humble tributes to one of India’s greatest composer-saints, whose music transformed devotion into an eternal spiritual path and enriched the cultural soul of Bharat.

Sri Tyagaraja, born in Kakarla village of Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh, remains a source of immense pride for the Telugu people. His contribution to Carnatic classical music is unparalleled. His compositions, rooted in devotion and enriched with philosophical depth, have elevated our musical tradition and brought enduring recognition to the richness of Telugu language and culture.

As one of the revered Trinity of Carnatic music, alongside Muthuswami Dikshitar and Syama Sastri, Saint Tyagaraja elevated Indian classical music to unparalleled spiritual and artistic heights. Deeply inspired by Purandara Dasa and immersed in devotion to Lord Sri Rama, he dedicated his entire life to composing music that united philosophy, emotion, and divine experience.

Musical tradition reveres Saint Tyagaraja as the composer of nearly 24,000 kritis. Yet, only about 730 compositions survive today, and barely 400 continue to live through active performance.This reality is a solemn reminder of our collective duty to urgently preserve, protect, and pass on this invaluable musical heritage to future generations

His immortal compositions like Jagadananda Karaka, Endaro mahanubhavulu, Bantu Reeti Koluvu, Samajavaragamana, and Nagumomu continue to inspire musicians and devotees across the world, rising above barriers of language and geography. Legendary maestros M. S. Subbulakshmi, Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, and D. K. Pattammal carried his divine music across continents, sharing the spiritual brilliance of Tyagaraja and richness of Carnatic music tradition with audiences around the world

My personal association with Chennai gave me the opportunity to witness the profound devotion with which Tyagaraja Aradhana is celebrated at Tiruvaiyaru in Tamil Nadu. Similar reverence is also seen in Hampi, Karnataka. Having witnessed this devotion across states, it becomes our cultural responsibility to celebrate Saint Tyagaraja’s legacy with equal devotion in Andhra Pradesh the land connected to his origins.

As custodians of this rich civilizational heritage, we reaffirm our commitment to preserve, nurture and strengthen the musical and spiritual heritage of Saint Tyagaraja and other great Telugu saint-poets such as Bammera Pothana and Annamacharya. With this vision, the following cultural initiatives should be encouraged and advanced through the collective efforts of government, cultural institutions, and society at large.

• State-level Tyagaraja Aradhana Utsavams in Andhra Pradesh: Institutionalizing annual celebrations with participation from leading musicians, scholars, students, and devotees from across Bharat and the world.

• Comprehensive Digitization Mission: Digitization of manuscripts, notations, rare recordings, oral traditions, and archival materials related to Saint Tyagaraja’s compositions in coordination with the Department of Culture.

Meet 7-year-old Vishwambara from Shakatapura near Sringeri

He mesmerises you with the way he chants shlokas with such confidence and devotion.

At this age, learning Sanskrit, Vedas, and living Sanathana Dharma…is not just talent, it is beyond words.
