In a first move of its kind, IT services company HCL Tech to back India’s LLM play. HCL tech to buy 10.46% in Sarvam AI for ₹1427 crore at a valuation of $1.5 billion @CNBCTV18News @CNBCTV18Live @hcltech @SarvamAI @pratykumar @RoshniNadarHCL #HCLTech #Sarvam

Personal insults to deflect attention away from a serious policy issue! What is @TVMohandasPai afraid to face? Could it be that the decades of theatric celebrity as some kind of tech guru are coming apart publicly. From my side, I mean no personal harm towards him and have cherished many years of solid friendship in the past. I wish him well. But friendship should not come in the way of addressing SERIOUS policy issues that impact tens of millions of youth today. Lets discuss the policies, not personalities: First, please differentiate between tech producers and consumers. India is largely a technology consumer nation importing tech from USA, China and others as the producers. Producers have the power advantage. They are always 1-2 generations of technology ahead of the consumers. They decide the terms of the exchange, including outright bans, exorbitant pricing, colonization, and large-scale exploitation. India's role on the producer side is marginal: supplying cheap labor, and low value-added derivative products mostly for domestic consumption. In all tech revolutions, the gap between producers and consumers keeps increasing rapidly. Today, India is further behind than it was even 3-5 years ago, in the resources and capabilities required to bridge the huge gaps. Colonizers' strategy is to corner the slaves into self-limiting frameworks. They asserted: "stick to your outsourcing, and don't get into serious R&D except as our employees". This is where Pai, other industrialists, as well as govt babus became empowered to serve as agents of the colonizers, just like the zamindars appointed by the East India Company. India faces serious dependencies in its hard power. That requires a powerful military-industrial complex. This is becoming a NATIONAL SECURITY threat. The WAY FORWARD: Step 1 is to allow free speech for intelligent and well-meaning critiques. (Note: I have been denied participation in recent AI and other forums in India because the gatekeepers want to curate the discourse. Hence, I decided to go public, while maintaining my good wishes and appreciation for the establishment.) Jai Hind.🙏🙏🙏

SHOCKING: AMD CEO Lisa Su Unveils ‘Lunchbox-Sized’ AI PC That Runs 235B-Parameter Models Locally, Challenging Nvidia’s High-End GPUs Powered by the Ryzen AI Max 395 and up to 128GB of unified memory, the compact system can run massive AI models without the cloud, data centers, or expensive GPU setups. The move marks a major step toward affordable, private, on-device AI and could reshape how developers, startups, and enterprises deploy large language models.

ஊழலுக்கு எதிராக கடுமையான நடவடிக்கை மற்றும் உடனடி வழக்குப் பதிவு #CMJosephVijay | #TNDIPR | @TVKVijayHQ | @imrajmohan |

not a peep from @elonmusk @sama @satyanadella @sundarpichai on the anthropic fable fiasco while an entire nation 1000s of miles apart is screaming their lungs out. Probably nothing.

Why are Indian IT companies incompetent to build AI models? Everyone is questioning Modi Govt instead of questioning our IT cos.

thousands of farmers will thank @CMOTamilnadu for a fair and brilliant decision. my kind of CM. 🙏🥹

Great decision of CM and his warriors on Parandur Next up, please reclaim the costal ecosystem we had once in East Coast. Once coast is reclaimed let's revive Long tank next. #RUN_IT_BACK

These guys are dinosaurs. All they want is access to large amounts of govt money so they can keep a huge slice of it. I wouldn't trust them to do anything well because it was their inertia and incompetence that caused India to lose its IT lead.

There you go again @TVMohandasPai. We went through this before and when I challenged you publicly to compare track records while I was in industry, you ran away. You avoid addressing the issue that you lack any tech background and expertise, being a mere bean counter/admin who exploited India’s tech youth with wage arbitrage to enrich yourself. The “big industry” you built was about exploiting our hard working youth as coolies. I advocated that Indian tech talent be channeled into Indian IP, and not rented out. You are obliged to suck up to the Murthy family without whom you were a nobody. History has proven that India should have followed China example of domestic IP and not the quick buck selfish approach. Compare Indian industrialists in tech with China’s. Why is India dependent on foreign licensing like a beggar? India has immense talent but its industrialists have been short sighted, selfish and arrogant. Now Indian youth face massive challenges unlike China’s as a result. The total market value of India’s tech industry is a mere 1% of the global tech market cap. Shameful for a nation of talented youth.

It is disheartening to watch India’s IT veterans fumble AI this badly. They had the capital. They had the head start. They had every reason to see this coming. And even now, they are out here explaining why India should not build frontier models. Man, this just hurts.

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…

Yeah, Mr. Nilekani should be the last person on Earth to lead India’s AI revolution. Someone who lacks the vision of technological sovereignty for India should not be steering such an effort. This isn’t merely about capability or competence; it’s about having the strategic vision to make India self-reliant in critical technologies. The irony is that Vembu ji explicitly cautioned against the influence of globalists in his post, yet you quoted the same post to argue that a globalist like Nilekani is exactly what India needs. That completely misses the essence of Vembu’s argument.

yes it goes for all technology we are dependent on others
