I was heartened to see these women's roles in emerging AI solutions. These 12 women are building AI companies and making their mark in the industry.   While I'm glad to see women like Manisha Raisinghani (SiftHub), Vrushali Prasade (Pixis), Ashwini Asokan (Vue.ai), Anusha Rammohan (Myelin Foundry), Dr. Rimjim Agarwal (BrainSightAI), Suparna Singh (Frammer AI), Deeba Kazmi (FinbotsAI), Prukalpa ⚡(Atlan), Deepti Prasad (Spyne), Sneha Roy (Murf AI), Laina Emmanuel (BrainSightAI), and Aridni Shah (immunitoAI) featured in this list, we need broader representation of women in AI.   For models to emerge that are truly representative, we need womenfrom all walks of life to be fairly represented in how AI learns about our society.   Nevertheless, congratulations to these women leaders for their groundbreaking work and for paving the way for future generations in AI innovation.   Image credits: Inc42 Media   #AI #Technology #Innovation

Vamana: The Graph Engine that eliminates the "Curse of Dimensionality." 🚀 When scaling AI systems (RAG, personalization) to billions of vectors, millisecond-scale retrieval is non-negotiable. Traditional indexing fails. My new article dives deep into Vamana, the state-of-the-art Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) algorithm. It achieves unprecedented speed by fundamentally modeling the high-dimensional space as a navigable proximity graph. Key concepts inside: The magic of Robust Pruning (the $\alpha$ parameter). Architecting for speed and durability with Apache Cassandra. Read how this clever graph design makes predictable, reliable billion- scale search a reality: Rithish Saralaya, dr.

Stay tuned for vikramvetal.ai! 🚀 Last week, I dived into the world of LLMs, Streamlit, and FastAPI to create an interactive chat-based riddle game inspired by the classic tales of Vikram and Vetal. Think Gandalf.lakera.ai, but with a rich narrative twist! For members who have not heard the story of Vikram and Vetal, they can refer to this link: https://lnkd.in/g7Wqgs3g" The structure of Vikram and Vetal is perfect for this: A story unfolds, the cunning Vetal poses a riddle, and the player (as Vikram) must answer correctly... or face the consequences (Vikram dies! 😱 No pressure!). But here's the cool part: In this modern adaptation, Vikram can *chat* with Vetal! Brainstorm, ask for hints, discuss the riddle – the possibilities are endless. The stories and visuals are all configuration-driven, making it easy to create new adventures. Could this be the future of engaging children's educational media? Fun quizzes for all ages? I'm planning to launch this as an AI experience at vikramvetal.ai. Sneak peek of the code is available here, so you can set up the game locally: https://lnkd.in/gHb2xCGJ Attached a video of the initial gameplay!

Happy to announce about the release of Echovox Studio, an end-to-end, AI-powered audio-content workflow that takes you from no idea to polished audio. Shalaj Gupta, Tejesh Babu, Saurabh Radke and I have been building it for the past few months, iterating all along trying to make it as simple as possible. We focused on building a clear path: Ideation → Research → Script → Generate Voiceovers → Edit → Export Every feature is customizable enough to feel like your own studio, without drowning you in knobs and technical settings. Why build it? 💡 We spoke with dozens of knowledge creators: professionals, founders, bloggers, educators & storytellers. The same pain points kept coming up: “Lack of time.” “Struggle with content ideas.” “Too many disconnected tools: going end-to-end is a hassle.” So we created the entire connected flow together. Where we are now 🔹 Get personalized content ideas, 1-click summaries, or do research 🔹 Generate audio via your own cloned voices, 200+ lifelike AI voices, or in-app recording 🔹 Polish with smart editing: noise removal, silence removal, and more 🚀 The tool is free to use with regular monthly credits: use it for ideas, research, or complete your audio workflows. We currently support payments in INR for heavy users (global payments coming soon). Try it here: 👉 https://studio.echovox.in Product Hunt: 👉 https://lnkd.in/g3Pa4ACU If you create, or plan to create content, we’d love your feedback. Check out the quick demo and let us know what you think!

Ahead of last week's India AI Impact Summit, one of the largest conferences, Vinod Khosla, respected VC and co-founder of Sun Microsystems, sparked a debate with his prediction that IT and BPO services will disappear in the next five years due to AI. The Indian IT services industry has already seen a $50 billion market capitalization loss in 2025 due to growth uncertainties. Recent AI plugin launches with prospects of automation raise questions about the necessity of traditional IT services, as Agentic workflows begin to replace conventional IT systems. Phil Fersht elaborated on this topic, referencing a blog by Vijay Vijayasankar, emphasizing that the transition will not be straightforward due to procurement inertia, buying behavior, and the continued need for human involvement. Moreover, it will be an evolution just like for all other industries, rather than a collapse. Phil says: Vinod is correct about the velocity of change, while Vijay highlights the constraints that exist. It is clear that IT and BPO companies must adapt to capture budgets shifting toward Agentic applications rather than relying on SaaS or traditional app development. While I agree with all above, I would like to add that securing AI budgets is not straightforward. A notable trend is that enterprises are increasingly inclined to conduct AI development in-house, driven by employee enthusiasm for building AI skills. AI app-dev is not mundane work to outsource, it is becoming a core and critical competency to develop inhouse. This shift towards in-house development means less reliance on outsourcing. Additionally, traditional IT and BPO service companies need to adjust their expectations regarding profit margins, as maintaining high profits of 20+ percentage is no longer feasible. One former CEO of an IT services giant reiterated that profit margins is the first priority of the IT services companies. This is a critical time for research and development, skill-building, and competitive sales and they become often a victim to aggressive expectations in profits. I discussed the above debate and more from the AI Impact Summit, the Gemini 3.1 Pro launch, and the rise of Personal Agents in the latest episode of The AI Files.

I strongly agree with this. AI has made writing code very cheap, but you still own development. There is no excuse to blindly accept what the agent writes, without proper design, review and validation. In the software tooling stack, coding agents belong to the same category as IDEs. They help in writing code, but do not create software, you do.

The Orchestrator's Dilemma: exploring the role of technical architects in AI-assisted development through building SetoBazaar, a classified marketplace, in days rather than months. When AI handles implementation, the human role transforms from code writer to system architect, providing guidance, debugging oversight, and quality verification while AI generates the code. https://lnkd.in/dq8ywnE9

🌍 AI vs. Cancer: Accelerating Hope at Warp Speed In a startshot that’s got me buzzing, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Pulitzer award winning oncologist Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee (author of The Emperor of All Maladies) recently launched “Manas AI “ to build foundational AI that tackles hardest problem known to mankind. The mission? Generate the molecular key that fits into the lock of cancer .. Slash timelines from decades to years using proprietary neuro-symbolic AI, generative chemistry, and elite biology. Manas generates massive chemical libraries, filters hits with AI precision, and runs molecular docking 100x faster than old-school methods. Kicking off with brutal foes like triple-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma, they’re mapping the “rules” of drug binding via Project Cosmos to unlock therapies once impossible. Next up: autoimmune diseases and rare conditions. No more slow, pricey pipelines; Manas is the full-stack pioneer for scalable, life-saving innovation. Named for the Sanskrit word for “mind,” it embodies intellect fused with empathy. As tech meets healing, this could redefine medicine. 🚀💉 Even if they are not successful, like a rocket that aimed for moon will end with with stars , and will inspire many others to use AI for really hard problems rather than just predicting next cat video… #AICancerResearch #DrugDiscovery #Biotech #HealthTech #ManasAI The Washington Post #GlobalAISummit

Biryani and Shorba (Biryani Gravy): Biryani is good on its own, but with shorba, it's even better. You need both—they complement each other perfectly. 👍 https://lnkd.in/gKViybd2 When building RAG MCP servers, you need two types: 🐐 RAG MCP Server – Serves documents for your prompts. 💧 VectorDB Store ETL MCP Server – Handles extraction, transformation, and loading into the vector database. Make sure both use sampling. No LLM info should be used in the MCP servers.

❤️ Loved this from Harshit Omar Cloud outages aren’t anomalies; they’re warnings. Most enterprises are architected as if hyperscalers are “too big to fail,” but recent outages have proven the opposite. Resilience needs a new baseline: Can you run somewhere else when your provider falters? That’s the promise of #CloudCloning and true #multicloud optionality. Big thanks to MR Rangaswami Sir for the conversation. Worth the read.

SANATAN LABS - The Architect’s Compass: 10 Directives for the Great Transition (PASSIONIT PRUTL KALKI AIDHARMA framework) To navigate the "Audit of Fire" during this profound transition toward Satya Yuga, Krishna (Strategic Intelligence), Kalki (Systemic Reset), and Shakti (Raw Life Force) offer these ten essential directives for humanity: 1. Master the Asymmetry of Calm In a world of screaming headlines, silence is your greatest weapon. Respond from a place of internal stillness rather than reacting to external noise. When the system is chaotic, your stability becomes the new "Safe Haven." 2. Audit Your Identity (The Laawaris Test) Ask yourself: "If my titles, assets, and digital footprint vanished, who remains?" Detach your worth from possessions. True sovereignty is found when you are no longer "claimed" by the ego-driven systems of the world. 3. Embrace the "Mirror of Kalki" Do not fear the "Bloody Moon" or the exposure of decay. View every systemic collapse—financial, social, or institutional—as a necessary diagnostic. Use this "Mirror" to identify your own attachments and incinerate them before they become liabilities. 4. Move from "Me" to "Mission" Unity is not sameness; it is alignment. Replace "Me vs. You" with "Us vs. The Problem." When diverse strengths are aligned under a shared purpose (Aidharma), the friction of competition dissolves into the flow of progress. 5. Trust the "Internal Gold" While external currencies and metals face regulation or restriction, your integrity remains non-tradeable and unconfiscatable. Invest in your skillsets, your character, and your resilience. These are the only assets that survive the "Audit of Fire." 6. Respect the "Flow of Lakshmi" Prosperity is a river, not a reservoir. Hoarding in fear leads to stagnation and decay. Circulate value through mentorship, ethical trade, and "Groom and Grow" practices. Wealth that serves the collective remains protected by the Sun and Moon. 7. Humanize the Machine (13th Node Reset) Use AI and technology as a "Numeric Auditor" to expose corruption, but never let the cold logic of the machine replace the warmth of human intuition. Ensure technology serves the 14th Node: Absolute Truth. 8. Practice Guerrilla Respect Disarm your "enemies" by preserving their dignity even when you disagree with their actions. Respect targets the ego of the opponent, weakening their appetite for control and opening a path for diplomacy. 9. Build Internal Havens As geography stops being a protection, focus on "Internal Research and Innovation." Cultivate a mind that can remain creative and functional even when trade arteries are choked. 10. Surrender to Karmic Gravity Accept that "God Proposes, Man Disposes." You cannot control the celestial reset, but you can control your alignment with it. Follow the path of Dharma, and the gravity of the new era will pull you toward peace rather than destruction.

Interesting point from Larry Fink - Can AI help increase GDP with a diminishing population? This reminded me of the questions posed by Prof Jhunjhunwala at #GlobalAIConclave Also a great point made by Shri Ambani ji: - There are limited opportunities for scale around the globe where 100s of billions of dollars can be invested meaningfully. This is where India presents multiple opportunities at this scale #GlobalDialogues Larry Fink Mukesh Ambani
