Every big dream has a first launch. 🚀 For Apurwa, it was watching a rocket soar into the sky and realizing that impossible is just a starting point. Spacefields on Ideabaaz Powered by @adanionline. #HumKarkeDikhaateHain #Ideabaaz #Adani

This 👇🏻IMHO is one of the sharpest macro tech posts of 2026. An absolute must read. The post is NOT about AI or technology, but about the very economic future of our country. We *HAVE TO* treat AI inference like macroeconomic infrastructure & do so on war footing. The AI bill is already arriving. Either we pay it in dollars forever, or we start printing our own ‘tokens’ in rupees & at scale. IndiaAI Mission’s 38k GPUs are a start. But a GPU cloud without a sovereign inference layer may be useless in the long term. We will pay for the GPUs (in dollars) and pay again for inference (again in dollars). The vicious loop that is just starting is brutal: → More AI adoption → bigger token bill → More dollar outflows → CAD pressure → Rupee weakens → tokens get even more expensive in INR → Margins compress → repeat. Reducing oil consumption and not buying gold for a year is good. It is needed. However, India’s services surplus is the only thing actually keeping the rupee from cracking. $418B exports, $214B surplus offsets 64% of our merchandise deficit (oil, gold, chips etc). If we don’t act, that surplus is about to get eaten alive by token imports. The new petrodollar is here. And it’s priced in USD. Is there a solution? I think so. We just need to put out heads together and think long term. Happy to discuss the options for the way ahead… @sandysparks65 @sanjeevsanyal @acorn @nitingokhale @horror06 @CaptDKS @centerofright @KRANTII01 @svembu @DrSJaishankar @narendramodi

It was a truly stimulating visit, as VCNS underscored the significance of what we are building & emphasized the importance of integration within Naval platforms. As a specialist in Gunnery and Missile Systems, his perspective carries both operational depth and strategic clarity.
