Now it's clear why American billionaires hate China so much. They poured billions and billions of dollars into AI and overnight China released the same Open Source AI and crashed their expencive prices

Not a small handle, Gaurie.

You anchor at one of the biggest channels in India and can impact public opinion every day.

That’s actual power.
When NDTV misuses that privilege, people should speak up.

One guy is looting money by forcing Ethanol
Another is land grabbing for his real estate empire
One is making money from leaking exam papers
Another is looting by selling the Nicobar Island

Top to bottom, everything is corrupt and compromised in this Modi govt.

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.

India has got a wonderful Prime Minister, caring, loving and supportive There is no one like Modi-

The heat has increased a lot, so everyone should drink plenty of water.

India’s great Prime Minister Modi held a high-level meeting yesterday. In the meeting, he called all the MPs and ministers. The entire country was expecting that, with the rising prices of petrol, diesel, and CNG, increasing inflation, and the difficult situation faced by poor people, small business owners, street vendors, and rickshaw pullers, the government would announce some relief measures or make an important decision.

But the interesting part is that Prime Minister Modi told his MPs and ministers:

“The heat has increased a lot, so all of you should drink more water.”

And then the meeting ended.

Tell me, can there be a more caring Prime Minister anywhere? In a high-level meeting, he is advising his MPs and ministers to drink plenty of water.

Now wait and watch. Today they are asking people to drink more water. India was already mixing 20% ethanol in petrol, and now the government plans to increase it to 30%. Slowly, after some time, they may even say, “Please drink less water too, we need it to produce ethanol.”

Now it is becoming clear why the great Prime Minister does not hold press conferences. He probably knows that he may not be able to answer even five serious questions.

If questions are asked about development, education, national security, healthcare, and corruption, then he himself might need to drink plenty of water.

The coaching industry in India is worth ₹58,000 crore. It exists entirely because schools failed to do their job. That's not a feature of education — it's a bug that became a business.

If India is so cash-strapped for foreign exchange reserves, then how come Adani and Ambani are spending billions of dollars in the U.S.?
Shouldn't these dollars be conserved?
