Silicon Valley’s South Park Commons ramps up India deeptech push By @puranchdET & @dishaacharya_ Read more at: economictimes.indiatimes.com…

This weekend was special. We had hard tech builders from all over the country come down for Curiosity 2026. There's a lot of technical depth and ambition, and I believe India has a right to win here. If you have a strong insight that you're keen to build on, apply here southparkcommons.com/apply

Thanks to the @spc_india team for inviting us in Bangalore this weekend for the Curiosity event. We were there representing the studio and how design is the only way for deep tech teams to bridge the communication gap in storytelling at any stage. Absolutely loved meeting all the very talented and dedicated founder/teams presenting their work. Thanks to all for sharing what you are building.

@spc_india hosting a super show as always!

LFG, @spc_india you are indeed building a beautiful deep tech builders ecosystem Bullish on young peeps mindset and Bharat first energy

Curiosity by @spc_india was a MASSIVE hit. Great exposure by creating a high talent density this weekend at IIMB. We need more people who believe in, and back deep tech startups to build for the global stage

Just a day away! Curiosity 2026. Our biggest hard/deep tech event ever. Watch teams compete science-faire style, showcasing their live demos...for ₹1.25 Cr in grants, $85 K in OpenAI credits and more. This is the last call to apply to attend. Please register on Luma, as we have to close the guest list. Big thank you to all our partners!

This is happening tomorrow @spc_india !

Physical AI lives or dies on hardware. Tomorrow at @spc_india, A fireside with Dr. Boyd Fowler (Stanford PhD, pioneer of the CMOS image sensor that sits inside every smartphone) and Vrinda Kapoor @VrindaKa (CEO of BharatSemi) RSVP here: luma.com/spcindia

Last week I made a trip to NCR for a minus one chat with the eponymous @deepkalra. I first met Deep way back in 2011, when he was an investor and also a board member at @zovi. He was later an investor in @scripbox as well. He's one of those leaders who have possibly seen the ups and downs of a startup journey play out over and over again across cycles and across multiple black swans. And it was a heck of a day to have this chat! -> @makemytrip just crossed $1Bn revenue -> Arsenal had just won the league after 22 years. Deep happens to be a Gunner…which itself is an exercise in resilience and survival, IYKYK!

Applications closing tonight! If you're building in hard tech and frontier sciences in India...rockets, robots, fusion, biotech, semis, physical AI and all that, you should be apply to compete at Curiosity 2026 by @spc_india. ₹1.25 Cr in grants, $85k in OpenAI credits, live demos and booths for showcase. It's time for the hard-mode builders in India, to have a platform like this. See you there. Apply here southparkcommons.com/curiosi…

The last 5 years have been dominated by LLMs. @gravicle makes a compelling case for visual intelligence dominating the next 5. We discussed the journey from @southpkcommons, to @LumaLabsAI, to world models (what does this even mean!?). Enjoy! (00:00) Apple's LiDAR work seeded Luma's founding vision (05:05) - A free app was secretly a data collection operation (06:49) H100s made video generation stop feeling impossible (10:00) Most definitions of "world model" are simply wrong (14:37) Why unified models beat pure video scaling (20:03) Luma Agents and the end-to-end creative production loop (23:00) The knowledge gap no model can close alone (29:34) Blowing James Cameron's mind in five minutes (31:16) Why consumer video generation failed—and who it's actually for (35:23) - Product and research aren't independent things at a foundation lab

AI is coming to the physical world. We spent a weekend at @southpkcommons experimenting with getting software, hardware, and different form factors to collaborate.

Apply to Curiosity 2026 — our exclusive showcase for India's most ambitious deep-tech builders. Compete for a ₹1.25 Cr prize pool (powered by @artparkindia) lots more in credits! Finalists will demo, science-faire style, before investors, judges & institutional leaders. Themes: Aerospace , Defence & Robotics, Photonics/Semis, Climate & Energy, Biotech & Medical, Physical AI more. To apply, you need: a working build/product, prototype, or scaled-down model. We're selecting teams on a rolling basis. Deadline: 20th May.
