Hain?

The one definite and immediate positive impact of AI is going to be better UI/UX for most consumer apps.

Damnation kinda Sunday.

@jainmayank_943 Super run! It's that time for a walk again 😀

I will take some time to unwind and decide what's next for me. I look forward to having freewheeling chats with a variety of people over the next few months. Please do reach out in case you'd like to have a chat.

After four wonderful years at @Stellaris_VP, I have decided to move on from the firm. I shall continue in my position for the next several months to ensure a smooth transition and will continue to work actively with our portfolio founders during this period.

A simple reminder. For India’s currency to remain valuable, India must have something valuable to export to the world. Historically its has been cheap labour and growth story but when western countries replace that with AI and discover high growth industries in their home ground, rupee value could drop significantly and evening India imports would become dramatically costly. And we do import a lot! Oil, electronics, gold. All of it would become expensive. This is why India must remain competitive on the global stage. Our population will quickly go from being a growth driver to being a liability if we don’t ramp up on innovation and R&D. It’s honestly an existential matter for the country’s future.

What a wasted opportunity to do more for Bangalore. Sigh :(

Drop 13/14: The 30B and 105B models, benchmarks, and HF links will all come. But today it is a drop about people. About how our team of just 15 folks gave it their all to do what many doubted as not doable - ie train usefully large, globally competitive models from scratch in India. This team of 15 has now firmly launched @sarvam into its second innings. Yes, we can! @_mohit_singla @anand_404 @kediaharshit9 @AashaySachdeva @sumanthd17 @ArpitDwivedi100 @HarveenChadha @rkal4 @sushil_khyalia @ManavSinghal157 @sohampetkar missing in the pictuere - @selfawareatom @AnnaUpreti Anand @MeghMakwan33973 Utkarsh

@phalgooon Just sad the internet was not fast enough then and we couldn't get on this train!

Imagine competing with these startups in 2012

Most people who want to grow professionally in life want ownership, accountability and responsibility at work. It's very difficult to get in large organisations, as power is concentrated with few at the top. In most startup roles, it comes in by default to you; one doesn't need to ask. Just that only a few know how to own up and deliver with that - it differentiates a future leader from an employee mindset. In startups - you can win as much as you are willing to, or what you decide to settle with!

Google and Microsoft just co-authored the spec that turns every website into an API for AI agents. The second-order effects here are massive. Right now, browser agents work by taking screenshots, parsing the DOM, and guessing which buttons to click. It works about as well as you’d expect. Fragile, expensive, slow. WebMCP replaces all of that with a single browser API: navigator.modelContext. Websites register structured tools directly in client-side JavaScript. The agent reads a menu of available actions, calls them, gets structured data back. No scraping. No backend MCP server in Python or Node. The tools run inside the browser tab and share the user’s existing auth session. Early benchmarks show ~67% reduction in computational overhead compared to visual agent-browser interactions. Task accuracy around 98%. The second-order effect is where this gets wild. Today, when a browser agent visits two competing airline sites, it’s guessing at both interfaces equally. Once WebMCP adoption spreads, the site that exposes structured tools gives the agent a clean, reliable path to complete the task. The site that doesn’t forces the agent to fumble through the UI. Agents will prefer the cheaper path. Every time. This means “Agent Experience Optimization” becomes a real discipline. Tool naming, schema design, description quality. Sound familiar? It’s the same shift that happened when meta descriptions and structured data became optimization surfaces for search engines. Except this time, the traffic source isn’t Google’s crawler. It’s every AI agent on the internet. Bots already make up 51% of web traffic. Google just gave them a front door.

Exactly 10 years ago something special kicked off as a hackathon and as they say...rest is history. @NandanNilekani @dilipasbe @pramodkvarma @snjyjn
