Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it?
The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well.
Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO
And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India.
The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption.
Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.

Keeping in mind the rising fuel costs in the country, I bought an MG Windsor EV a few months ago. I genuinely believed I was making a smart decision. Unfortunately, what followed has been one of the worst ownership experiences of my life.
About a month ago, while returning from my son's school, a speeding Mahindra Thar rammed into my car from behind. My vehicle was moving at barely 30–35 km/h when the impact pushed it into an Innova ahead. The rear section of the car suffered significant damage.
The very same day, I handed the vehicle over to MG's service center for repairs.
From that point onward, for weeks, I kept making the same phone call:
"When will my car be ready ?"
Every time, I received a different excuse.
Last Saturday , I was informed that the repair work had been completed and only the insurance company's delivery order was pending. I was assured that the order would arrive on Monday and the car would be handed over immediately.
Monday came and went.
By afternoon, having heard nothing, I decided to visit the workshop myself.
And that's when the real story began.
The service advisor responsible for my vehicle didn't even know where the car was parked. After searching across three floors, we finally discovered it in the basement.
What I saw there left me speechless.
The car was in worse condition than it had been immediately after the accident.
At that moment, I realized that my biggest mistake wasn't the accident it was buying an MG. In the last 20 years, I have owned vehicles from almost every major automobile manufacturer. I've dealt with repairs, insurance claims, and service centers countless times. But I have never experienced such disorganization, negligence , and lack of accountability from any company.
Keeping a customer's vehicle for nearly a month, providing misleading updates, and then not even knowing where the car is parked is not poor service it's complete disrespect for the customer's time , trust, and money.
As I was leaving the workshop, I told the advisor "Brother, sell this car for whatever you can get even if I have to take a loss of a few lakhs. I don't have the courage to bring it home anymore. If I ever have to come back to this workshop again, I might genuinely lose my mind."
People may debate how good or bad the MG Windsor EV is as a product.
But as far as MG's after-sales service is concerned, my verdict is final.
This has been, without a doubt, the worst customer service experience I have ever had with any automobile company.
If you're considering buying an MG vehicle, don't just visit the showroom. Spend some time at their service center first. The difference between the two may help you make a much better decision.

Tomorrow, the Karkardooma court is set to deliver its verdict in the Ankit Sharma murder case. Tahir Hussain and his men had brutally killed him during the orchestrated 2020 Delhi anti-Hindu riot. In his disclosure statement, Tahir had admitted to attacking Hindus chanting “Maaro Kafiro ko Maaro”.
He had lied, blatantly, claiming to be the victim and not the perpetrator of the violence. AltNews’ Zubair, TheWire’s Arfa and many had aided him.

The remarks made by Nivedita Menon in an interview to @thewire_in are a grave insult to countless women who have come forward with complaints involving concealment of identity, coercion, religious pressure, forced conversion and abuse after conversion-nikah
To suggest that such concerns can be explained away by claiming that Muslim men are simply "more attractive" to Hindu women is a shocking trivialisation of women's testimonies, police investigations, and judicial observations in numerous cases across the country
Just last month, a Hindu woman from a Scheduled Caste community filed an FIR in national capital Delhi against history-sheeter illegal arms supplier Fahim Langda, accusing him of kidnapping, rape, forced conversion and criminal intimidation
We, Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation, assisted the survivor in pursuing legal action and continue to support her rehabilitation
The insensitivity of these remarks becomes even more glaring when one considers the plight of Hindu and other minority women in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where cases of abduction, forced conversion, and coerced marriages have repeatedly surfaced, contributing to fear, insecurity, and exodus of minority communities
Equally troubling is the attempt to explain away the asymmetry in interfaith relationships through claims about attractiveness. Such arguments ignore documented instances where Hindu men have faced threats, violence and murders for marrying Muslim women
We strongly condemn these remarks and call upon @NCWIndia to take cognisance of statements that trivialise the lived experiences of survivors and undermine the efforts by women who have approached law enforcement and the courts seeking justice
We are prepared to appear before the commission or any other competent authority with case records, FIRs, survivor testimonies, court orders and other documentary evidence that directly contradict such irresponsible assertions.
