Very insightful Vembu Sir. May be the focus of the govt needs to b on TALENT retention as well as RISK CAPITAL availability, as

The FAMOUS J-A-M was presented during Feb 2015 budget and we all know how it has flourished.
The STP was announced in 2003 and we all know how services became the primary FOREX earner for us, while we had read in economics that the services sector was "tertiary"
In 1991 economic liberalization took place and we got our own super computers, as well as the concept of having a computer at home was born.
#Jupiter is about GENESIS, the Genesis of everything happens with back against the wall. That is when the problems at microscopic level is sorted out and things go ballistic.
A great time to have hybrid TECH CAPITAL TALENT FOCUSED POLICIES (Nuclear and other Renewable Energy/Pharma/ AI) that allow public/private participation and RISK CAPITAL deployment at large scale. To give wings to BHARATIYA organizations and brains.
ESOP policy, RISK Capital pools at IIT levels for invention/innovation...are some things that come to mind. I'm sure there are many more issues that need to be addressed parallely.
The TIME is right, the world is as selfish as it can be, NOW, WE NEED TO TAKE OFF.
This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100 billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.
