Building in India x dominating the 🌍

So the question I keep sitting with: Why isn't someone building the global AI QA layer for semiconductors from India? The talent is here. The market is global. The incumbents are due for disruption. If you're working on this, I'd genuinely love to hear what you're building.

AI is eating into this. SixSense built real-time chip defect detection from Singapore. Already deployed at GlobalFoundries and JCET. 90% less manual inspection. 30% faster production cycles. Which means you don't need to be in the US or Taiwan to build it.

Was reading Chip War by Chris Miller. Got me thinking about semiconductor QA. Not the geopolitics. The manufacturing layer that nobody talks about.

@krishnan_rag @OpenAI @siddharth_ram Hey Krishnan, Would love to connect - and learn more about what you are building

Had fun presenting at the @OpenAI demo party hosted by Boldcap. Shared a sneak peek into our work on verification - the key missing piece to unlocking ASI across all domains. More soon :) Appreciate the fantastic organization, @siddharth_ram !

@NimishaChanda All the best Nimisha! Was great catching up with you always.

i am leaving bangalore and moving back to my hometown - faridabad. and for the first time in a long time, i can actually hear myself think. bangalore was kind to me. it really was. it gave me the job, the friends, the love of my life, every room i wanted to be in. and somehow i became someone there. but i was working on someone else's terms without any freedom and there was literally no life of my own. my mind, my body, my ambition - all running the same loop and coming back tired. bangalore's startup culture is real. competing with the valley, building serious things, all of that is true. but everyone's in the same race and no one's clearly winning. i didn't want to be one of the many. i wanted the road less travelled - run alone or with a few, and actually get somewhere worth getting to. so i left the job. came home. doing what i should've been doing - being the eldest child, sitting with my grandparents, travelling, making time for the things i want to live, not just accomplish. leaving was the hardest decision i've made. it’s also the one i had zero second thoughts about. that's how i knew. if you're young and ambitious, go to bangalore once. let it shape you. it's worth it. but if it ever starts taking more than it gives, leave. nobody's going to give you permission. bangalore gave me more than i could chew. i'll always be grateful. but something inside me was dying. always grateful to everything i got from this city <3 it’ll always have a piece of my heart! here's to whatever's next.

@aiweekendsxyz @tushaarmehtaa @0xratnakar Well deserved

thanks! @tushaarmehtaa @0xratnakar

@rachitcodes @localhostIND Not able to dm, might be a blue tick thing. Can you try dropping a text?

@ChopraBrother @localhostIND hey man! thank you so much. sure i'd like that too dms are always open to chat

Locking in for the next 75 days with @localhostIND, to make sure your agents don't forget.

If you're working in this or know something I missed — I'd love to hear it. DM or coffee. #PostQuantumCryptography #DeepTech #IndiaAI #NationalQuantumMission #Cybersecurity

But the timing? Mandate isn't enforceable yet. Companies are mid-AI adoption. Will they pay before they're forced to? Seems like an interesting space to keep an eye on.

This week I found out India is spending ₹6,003 crore on a Quantum Mission. Was a bit surprised, so I went a bit deeper.
