@sjpatil its a large population country sir. we will discover data we set out to find. exact opposite anti-data is also happening at the same time

Yet another humanity level problem waiting for @elonmusk ‘s intervention. Indirect one via artificial wombs to reduce entry barriers. Another industry to found !! x.com/elonmusk/statu…

India likely has equal or higher untapped biogas potential than China, however currently it lags behind due to various reasons. Lets unfold some of these things in the thread below, follow along to see how India can lead in biogas, and can potentially replace more than 80% dependency on LPG Thread 🧵👇 1/n

@smitaprakash I agree with this. ditto for prohibition and agriculture tax. driving markets underground does society more damage better to regulate, manage markets. Corral all resources from sin activities for very specific societal benefit schemes like health, education, women uplift

India should legalize prediction markets. Satta bazaar kinds operate in the grey zone anyway. People will bet on sports, elections, wars or disasters. If not in India then offshore. So why not legalize and open up a revenue stream for govt & pvt sector? x.com/InvestRepeat/s…

@jcrajan00 @MinOfPower I am optimistic. GoI is tackling things as feasible. Constraints keep shifting and one needs to keep working to address emergent constraints. throwing up one's hands doesn't solve problems

@finkrishna @MinOfPower This is the constraint nobody wants to fix. We solved generation. But states have zero incentive to improve T&D — they profit from the opacity. I think storage + microgrids will bypass DISCOMs entirely. That's what scares them. The resistance isn't technical, it's commercial.

India went from 15,000 rooftop solar installations per month in March 2024 to 2 lakh per month by January 2026. That is a 13x increase in under two years. 26.21 lakh systems installed. 9.56 GW capacity added. 32.4 lakh households benefiting. PM Surya Ghar is doing what subsidies alone never could — creating a self-sustaining market. Once your neighbour gets free electricity, you don't need a government ad to convince you. The real unlock: India now has a distributed generation base that reduces peak grid stress. Every rooftop panel is a micro power plant the grid doesn't have to build. At this pace, India will have more rooftop solar homes than Australia by 2027.

@shobweet @ThePrintIndia @sureshpprabhu Township owning manufacturing companies like @BHEL_India, @BEL_CorpCom should actively engage, encourage and house aligned research universities and innovation / incubation centres within Bhopal, Trichy, Haridwar etc Perhaps @shivkuma_k can encourage this?

India’s higher education system stands at an inflection point. It is about time we discuss how knowledge ecosystems are built. In our article today in @ThePrintIndia, @sureshpprabhu and I examine the proposal for university townships through a comparative lens. The United States did not become a global leader in innovation by building standalone universities. It built clusters, such as the Boston–Cambridge ecosystem and Research Triangle Park, where universities, research labs, schools, industry, and capital evolved in close proximity. The result was not just academic excellence, but enduring ecosystems of innovation and talent. India, by contrast, has largely developed universities as isolated entities, often duplicating infrastructure while remaining disconnected from both industry and each other. The proposed university townships offer a chance to correct this structural gap. Beyond industry linkage, their real potential lies in creating integrated learning environments, including a strong school–university continuum that can shape aspiration early and enable continuous teacher development at scale. This is an opportunity to rethink the architecture of education in India, drawing from global lessons while designing for Indian realities. India has built institutions. It must now build ecosystems.

Next in who after the Ramanujan Series? He is the living ghost of Indian mathematics. While the world’s most abstract algebraic structures bear the quiet imprint of his work, the man himself walks the streets of Chennai in a simple dhoti...unrecognized, yet profoundly influential. Born in 1935 in Tamil Nadu, Dr. Ramaiyengar Sridharan was raised in a culture that viewed mathematical proficiency as a form of ancestral heritage. He was part of the Golden Era of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Bomaby. Under the mentorship of legends like K.G. Ramanathan, he entered a silo where the only currency was a perfect proof. He earned his PhD from Columbia University under Samuel Eilenberg, 1 of the founders of Category Theory. While the West tried to claim him, Sridharan remained rooted in the Indian way of thinking: internalized, quiet, & incredibly deep. Sridharan’s work allows us to treat Algebra like Shapes. He is a master of Non-Commutative Algebra & Projective Modules. He made deep contributions to the theory of projective modules over polynomial rings, essentially figuring out how to define straight lines & flat surfaces in purely algebraic spaces that have no physical form. In the theory of enveloping algebras & representations of Lie algebras, his work on filtrations provides a powerful tool to break down complex algebraic structures into manageable, predictable layers. His research on quadratic forms & modules continues to influence areas of algebra that have indirect connections to modern cryptography & coding theory. If you saw him today in Chennai, you would not see a Global Tech Icon. You would see a scholar dressed in a simple cotton shirt & dhoti, perhaps visiting a local bookstore/temple. He is a world authority on the History of Indian Mathematics. He can trace logical connections from Brahmagupta’s algorithms in the 7th century to the polynomial algebra of the 21st century. Yet he remains so low profile that even many in the Indian mathematical community are only vaguely aware of the depth of his contributions. Awards and Global Stature: - Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize (1980): India’s highest scientific honor in the mathematical sciences. - Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). - Honorary Fellow of TIFR: a lifetime recognition reserved for the architects of Indian mathematics. He has spent decades quietly advancing algebra while also preserving & teaching the rich history of Indian mathematical thought. #WhoAfterRamanujan

@deepakshenoy @AvisharDutta Never attribute to ignorance, that which can adequately be explained by malice

@AvisharDutta Strange. A basic check would show that 25 mins (or more) is only between 5 and 6 am. Beyond that it's lower, and for most of the day it's 9 min. This is like super basic google search

This is actually not true. By "newer line" he means Yellow Line. Yellow Line frequency is now down to 9 mins.

@vaibhavbetter Good initiative from E2E Networks Overtime Jarvis can try and be a little Hugging Face for India and create pipeline for later investments @tarundua81

JarvisLabs 🤝 AI Grants India Another strong addition to the AI Grants India ecosystem. JarvisLabs, from E2E Networks, is now supporting AIGI builders with GPU credits. Under this initiative, select teams emerging from AI Grants India will be eligible for up to $5,000 in GPU credits on JarvisLabs, awarded on a rolling basis to the strongest projects. This is a meaningful unlock. For many builders, model access is only the first hurdle. The next bottleneck is compute. Teams can get started, but often cannot keep going once they need GPUs to fine-tune models, run larger workloads, or move from demo to product. JarvisLabs changes that. The credits will help AIGI teams: • Fine-tune and run open-source models • Train and evaluate AI systems faster • Build more ambitious AI and deeptech products • Extend their runway and keep building without immediate infrastructure pressure AI Grants India was created to remove the barriers that stop ambitious builders from getting started. In just a short period, the ecosystem has already grown to: • 1,500+ active builders • 100+ idea-stage AI startups • 1B+ tokens across leading model platforms • Builders from IITs, BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, Network School, hacker houses, and national hackathons With JarvisLabs joining the ecosystem, AIGI builders now have access not only to the models they need, but increasingly to the compute required to build serious products on top of them. Grateful to the teams at JarvisLabs and E2E Networks for backing India’s next generation of AI builders. Applications remain open at aigrants.in

The drone is so easy to fly. Completely stable even without GPS/GNSS. Thanks to Agam FloRange Sensor which has Optical Flow sensor and TOF sensor integrated which makes drones easy to fly.

@aparanjape @sama @demishassabis @DarioAmodei I am shocked they dont have ways written in front end or further along the pipeline to weed out these 'useless' token guzzling expressions

I am sure... by the same token, hope LLMs also avoid the 'small talk' and sycophancy 😉 @sama @demishassabis @DarioAmodei

@caleb_friesen great, its been on a to-do list for years. will try and get round to it later this year

@finkrishna It's good! Aizawl weather is nice. Just got back from my most recent Bengaluru trip.

Everyone's talking about YC Startup School. But I'm still recovering from VibeCon. The event was great... ...but the footpath to reach wasn't. I encountered: - Busted pedestrian infra - Many deep pits - Lots of trash But also good people 🤍 Oh, and I did it on rollerblades.

@CJHandmer some enterprising society, troubled with lower birth rates, should experiment with a permission-less house building program for 10 years will help validate this hypothesis

Statistically, if your society isn't starting families at 25 then there's no way to be above replacement. Which means family homes must be affordable at 22, fresh out of university. It seems unimaginable!
