On this landmark day when #SarvamAI becomes a unicorn, I think it is time to put the debate over whether India should build its own AI capabilities to rest—for good! Let us reframe the question—from models to intelligence. I think we all agree that we will unlock the full power of AI only when powerful problem-solving intelligence reaches every citizen, enterprise, scientist, farmer and public institution in the country. So, should we be comfortable importing the intelligence that will increasingly flow through the veins of our economy and society? Or should we build the capacity to create sovereign intelligence—rooted in our data, responsive to our needs and grounded in our values? For me, it is a no-brainer. The question is no longer whether India should build. It is: How do we build—and how fast can we move? Sharing a few thoughts in my article below.

Pilots have largely welcomed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation rules which enhances their weekly rest period from 36 to 48 hours However the changes have put airlines in a spot Implementing new rule by June 1 is unrealistic

Satya Nadella’s swift move to get #SamAltman on board Microsoft amid #OpenAI Board’s differences with the leadership team is a coup of sorts. While MSFT’s Nokia acquisition bombed they’ve done much better with LinekdIn, GitHub & Mojang. My take in today’s @businessline
