Something happened yesterday that filled me with pride.
Two second-year students didn’t just build a startup, they got Jitesh Sharma (@jiteshsharma_) on board as their brand ambassador and investor. They also hosted him at our office and introduced him to us.

It’s very important for ambitious entrepreneurs and investors to study this company.
They will do great things from India, for the world.
Soham’s writings and the PopVax website are essential reading.

Soham Sankaran@sohamsankaran
Four years ago, I started @PopVaxIndia with no real knowledge of biology and <$50k in personal funding, convinced that the combination of generative AI for design & RNA for delivery would unlock a new class of vaccines & therapeutics against diseases resistant to legacy methods.

Musk and Tesla continuing their 'vertical integration' focus...
The AI Investor@The_AI_Investor
Rumor: Tesla is going to build its own EUV lithography machines because ASML is “too slow.” to supply to the new chip plant. ASML currently produces <100 EUV machines per year. Apparently that’s not fast enough for Elon Musk. The new plan: • 1,000 EUV machines per week starting 2027 • 10,000 per week by 2028 And since HBM memory is also a bottleneck, Tesla will casually build 10 new memory fabs in the next two years producing 5× the rest of the industry combined. Meanwhile, Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung Electronics are panicking.

India has now demonstrated resonance-based rocket ignition.
We’ve successfully test-fired India’s first Resonance Ignition System at @Thrustworks — becoming one of only three known entities globally to validate this architecture.
Propulsion sovereignty begins at ignition.

Here's your Friday Indian tech white pill:
1. @rumik_ai soft launched a voice model, silk 1, and it's shockingly good
2. @pravapayments partnered with Visa to enable card-based agentic payments
3. @nst_edu has multiple team qualifying for the 2026 ICPC Asia West regionals

@OnlyNakedTruth Hello @onlynakedtruth whats the best way to get in touch with you?

We, semicon professionals, in India are trying our own version of it this year. It is called 1-tops. One tapeout per student. Except that it is not massively state funded like China. It is based on voluntary mentoring by industry experts. This is the first year of program and we will mentor almost 4 teams of average 6-8 students per team. If successful this will become the template for the right association between industry and academia.

Hardest startup lesson I've learned:
For your product: great is the enemy of good. Ship and iterate.
For your team: good is the enemy of great. Keep the bar high.

Super happy to see this! Bharat must continue its pursuit of building frontier models even if we are always a generation behind - sovereignty here is non negotiable!
Huge respect @SarvamAI @pratykumar @vivekrag
Going to spend my weekend building something with bulbul 😄

Here is @SarvamAI's journey from founding to a full-stack AI platform in under three years. Each milestone is shaped by Indian needs rather than parameter counts.

I am thrilled to share that @navamcapital has successfully closed our maiden venture fund, and it has been oversubscribed!
We have had early conviction in India’s deep tech capacity and opportunity - now with a corpus of Rs 315 crore+ to invest in frontier tech innovation across sectors, we will be doubling down on the colossal opportunity at the intersection of @makeinindia and #InventInIndia x.com/rmantri/status…

Navam Capital@navamcapital
🚨 On the occasion of India's 77th Republic Day, we are delighted to announce that @navamcapital has successfully closed its maiden venture fund with a corpus of Rs 315 crore! With a target corpus of Rs 250 crore, Navam Venture Fund - I has been oversubscribed and received strong demand from a wide investor base of leading technology company founders, major family offices, and ultra high networth business leaders and business owners. @navamcapital was founded over 15 years ago on the conviction that India’s economic transformation into a prosperous, wealthy nation with advanced capabilities in strategic domains will be driven not by replication of global business models, but by inventiveness, new knowledge creation and research commercialization – over the years, Navam has been a consistent backer of exactly such engineering-led innovation. We shall maintain that thesis focus, backing IP-differentiated ventures and science-driven innovation in sectors such as aerospace, advanced electronics and semiconductor chip design, climate tech, robotics, industrial automation, biotech and materials science. More information on our portfolio is available at: navamcapital.com/portfolio-comp… We look forward to investing in the best of deep technology product companies being built in India for global markets, and supporting them through the life cycle with not just capital but B2B / industry connects too🤝 🚀🛰️🔬🧪🧬⚡️⚙️🛜🏭🦾 🇮🇳

Anything dumb you want to say about AI, you can probably find a recent MIT study which says that. (Either because of questionable methodology or simply because everyone misinterpreted the headline result)
95% of AI initiatives fail
AI makes you dumb

Saddened by the passing of S.L Bhyrappa. His writing wove layers of stories and timelines together. His stories spanned across history, philosophy, psychology, theology and much more. Aavarana and Caravan - two of his works which I read touched me deeply. Om Shanti

Your organization's culture is not what's written on the walls.
It's a direct reflection of the founders' and early team's personalities, habits, and values.

This has been China’s strategy in every field of tech that they’re leading in. It was the case for automotive 5years ago. Still is for functional safety. This is why they are now leaders. They actively pursue & recruit experts whereas we actively ignore & export ours.

Has been happening for a while. my LinkedIn is filled with several several such messages. They are even offering Honk Kong postings with sponsoring kids education in international schools etc etc. Hans are getting desperate.
