The investment was made to a non profit long ago. That was for public good. There was no valuation. As for Vishal, check what has he achieved after leaving Infy? If he was such a great visionary he would have a very very large AI co like Sam Altman.

It is very curious and strange how a loud and foul mouthed section of the online mob keeps attacking India’s IT industry. Why would you expect a services focused business to “get into” product development? It is very, very difficult to do both these things in the same organization. It is like asking a land animal to fly or a bird to swim. Anybody who has run a business of reasonable size will recognize the difficulties of doing this. The constant ranting against IT companies just goes to show, how stupid and disconnected from reality the loudmouths are. x.com/rmantri/status/1966762… Why don’t these people ever train their guns on the mega conglomerates? Why don’t Jindal, Reliance and other groups ever get questioned? x.com/rmantri/status/1941475… If anything those in a conglomerate model should be able to deploy capital with more agility in new industries. And these groups routinely do it in old economy sectors. But they too should be left to their own devices (as long as they don’t abuse their influence to trample and crush new age industries and startups) and the answer to their disproportionate power and sway is ease of doing business, reduction in barriers to entry, stronger regulatory institutions in areas like competition monitoring - but again, why aren’t these mega conglomerates ever questioned by the online commentariat? I think the answer is that unlike their Mumbai and Delhi based billionaire brethren, Bengaluru’s IT company founders have remained more egalitarian, more approachable, less flashy and more grounded. This makes them soft targets to the pathetic pillorying by the deranged online mob runners - despite their great wealth and influence (honestly earned, unlike some other business dynasties), they appear to be “one of us” and hence, easy to villainize and even abuse. There is a reason Mafatlal did not enter steel industry. There is a reason Reliance did not enter the IT industry. The same holds for IT industry. Why vilify them in this condemnable manner? Different businesses and new industries will require new entrepreneurs to build and create the way. And I can tell you one thing - the way founders and executives of IT industry have taken to not just entrepreneurship beyond IT sector but even angel investing and backing Indian venture capital funds, it is a golden example for other industrialists and business owners in India.

PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal @FinMinIndia @RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah @amitmalviya

Aap ne sahi pehchana khud ko Tujh se bura na koye 😂🤣 Guys just read his bio

So says a big big failure and economic refugee @RajivMessage who did nothing useful in tech in his life and now points fingers at others. This failed fellow is now abusing others who built his big industries, created huge jobs.

Stop making loose comments. A foundational model needs 50/60b $ Huge hyper cloud capacity with hundreds of billion $

India doesn't need to lead the world in building the most advanced AI models. But it must lead in ensuring benefits of AI are widely shared. @rvenk and I have an op-ed in The @EconomicTimes economictimes.indiatimes.com…

Nobody from any Indian IT company should be allowed within a mile of such a tech sovereignty initiative.

The case for a US-India AI Trusted Corridor just became stronger. This was predicted. There is an urgent need for an export control-led conversation. Anthropic statement: “The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national…” A take on a AI Trusted Corridor @orfonline orfonline.org/expert-speak/s… anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

I think you did not get it. Foundational models cost between 50/60 b $ to build along with hyper cloud. They are getting commoditized . There are multiple models. What we need are vertical LLM’s, hyper cloud, multiple large AI apps etc. we need LLMs for cyber security, defence. All this needs an AI mission. AI is not LLM alone.

Aged like milk. Good thing our government is smarter than our "IT experts".

🇺🇸🚀 SOME NEWS: I'll be leaving my role at the White House at the end of this month. After a break I’ll be working on helping tackle some of the large challenges facing America on AI (more on that later). It is hard to express how big a privilege it has been to serve the American people and how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to do so. First and foremost, it has been an honor to serve under President @realDonaldTrump . Without his leadership, we would not be leading in the AI race. Second, I owe a lot to the person I’ve worked mostly closely with over the last 18 months - @DavidSacks . His continuing advocacy for America winning on AI has been and continues to be crucial. Some key public accomplishments from last year I’m proud of 1. Architecting and publishing the American AI Action Plan - charting the course for America to win on AI and helping execute on that for the last year. 2. The AI acceleration partnerships to help American AI stack win globally. 3. The National AI Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence executive order (forming the basis for working with the Hill this year) 4. Advocating for the American AI stack with our allies globally (the AI summits in France and India, state visits to the UK, the Middle East and more) So what’s next? The past 18 months have given me a front row seat to this critical moment on AI facing America and our allies. Whether it is energy, data centers or a clear path for Americans to experience the benefits of AI, there are many tough issues we all need to navigate together. I plan on building institutions that help tackle some of those challenges for America and its allies. I want to thank many others who have helped along the way in the administration : Kevin Hassett, @mkratsios47 , CoS @SusieWiles47 , VP @JDVance , @StevenCheung47 , Sec Bessent, Sec Lutnick, Sec Rubio and @jacobhelberg , @USWREMichael , Josh Gruenbaum, Watson Fagan, Ryan Baasch, Jeff Kessler, Alexei Bulazel, DepSec Landau, DepSec Dabar, Will Scharf, Taylor Budowich, @JamesBlairUSA , @elonmusk and many, many others. You know who you are and I know I’ll continue to see you a lot more. Most of all, I want to thank @aarthir on supporting everything and being part of this unexpected but amazing journey from last January. None of this would be possible without her. This journey has been the privilege of a lifetime and shown me how special this country is and how it needs all of us to contribute in anyway we can - and I plan on continuing to do just that. 🇺🇸
