@thedeepakk12 Why would they only block at DNS level mate?😭😭they ain't that dumb when it comes to saving their faces 😂 why post something very obvious?? It'll be back on 22nd anyways..
Congrats on the raise! Avoiding the mistakes of Krutrim now (what happened to them?), it is critically important for Sarvam to crack GTM globally now, and fast.
Some initial thoughts and opinionated things to do in the next 6 months:
➡️ Drop/phase out "AI for India" slowly. Yes, it is AI company built in India, not just for India but for the world. Every single frontier lab talks about their "frontier" AI on homepage, only Indian labs talk about sovereign and India on the homepage.
➡️ Double down on coding/programming models/AI harnesses. There is no mention of Sarvam for coding anywhere. Quadrillions of tokens are spent on coding every month (OpenRouter does 100T tokens ALONE per month).
➡️ Play the "intelligent" game or "fast" game or both, not the "India" game. People love fast but slightly dumb models, or they love models that are very intelligent. Much of the focus and marketing should be on serving inference on these two classes of models.
➡️ The only price I see right now is INR, why? Put up pricing in USD/EUR/GBP and make it a global platform, at least the platform subscription to begin with, if not the API.
➡️ Ship a desktop app, ship a CLI for programmers, and bring your model to harnesses like OpenCode, your model should be available via OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Cloudflare AI Gateway, etc.
➡️ Match SOTA Open Source, surpass it next. The DeepSeek/Kimi/MiniMax playbook is open (except data). It'll take time and $ to build a ~2T model, but it is possible. Celebrating 24B and 100B models is great but eyes on the real prize.
➡️ Custom benches, better evals, and system cards that operate like how Anthropic and OpenAI operate. It's fine if metrics are not good, 4 months later when a new model drops, you get to compare your bad bench scores to the great ones.
This needs to be a global play. Please do not get stuck just serving and boasting the India angle. We need to win on the merit and ecosystem, not on sovereign AI gameplay. I say this as a fan. All the best.
Telegram will be blocked in India till June 22 for NEET exam. This is a great move because it was Telegram which was responsible for paper setting and leaks. If still paper leaks, next option is to block Internet in India.
Banning social media for teenagers only puts them in greater danger.
Teens are forced to switch to VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.
We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs.
Brain dead decision by coach and Captain Tilak varma to start the super over with Vaibhav on non-striker end.
Why would you start the biggest striker of ball on the non striker end 🤡
