I'll be at India Mobile Congress 2026, happening from October 7-10 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi! We’ll be showcasing some of our recent advancements at the intersection of AI and telecom, with solutions specifically designed for enterprise scale. With @parrysingh

Finally met my "friend" and mentor, @stellensatz, at @IITMAA's Sangam today 🙏 For those who don't know him that well, he was doing AI before most of us even knew the term. He was the founding director of Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), started in 1989.

Privileged to return to an IEEE stage as a Plenary Speaker. My talk was titled "Micro-Optimisations for Macro-Impact" - Covered the importance of identifying and resolving bottlenecks throughout the stack - from silicon to models, to do more with less.

आपको और आपके सभी परिजनों को श्री गणेश चतुर्थी के मंगल अवसर की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।

रक्षाबंधन की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। भाई-बहन का ये पवित्र त्योहार बचपन की यादें ताज़ा कर देता है।
