Over the past few months, at least a dozen Indian professionals based abroad (mostly in the Bay Area), have reached out to me asking: What is the AI landscape in India? The context is they want to move back home and build here. Ideally start with a soft landing at a startup and then go out on their own. The belief is the India opportunity over the next decade is too huge to miss out on. They are mostly in their mid-30s, have enough saved from the big tech stock boom, and now want their kids to grow up here close to grandparents. The current geopolitical situation is a further accelerant in this decision. If you are an AI-native startup looking to hire top tier product & tech talent, let me know :) Long on AI in India! 🚀🇮🇳

AI open spaces circa 2025 As we step into 2025, it’s clear that AI will remain at the forefront of innovation, shaping industries and transforming the way we live and work. Here are some of the areas we are most excited to work on: 1. High quality, reliable, data is increasingly becoming a challenge to train AI Models. A synthetic data generation platform that can generate large volumes of data across multiple use cases. 2. The future of the world are autonomous robots. Training robots and enabling them to perceive & understand the world to perform complex tasks in the real world is still a challenge. Full stack solutions to not only construct training environments but also deploy them to the end user. 3. Consumer AI applications with deep contextual knowledge to not only empower individuals but provide them with personalised experiences like - AI companions, AI assistants for specific use cases, AI for content creation & consumption, AI digital brains, etc. 4. AI systems that can not only empower knowledge workers like doctors, wealth managers, investors, consultants, researchers, etc. but also automate repetitive processes in their workflows. 5. AI agent management platforms providing a source-of-truth view to the end users allowing them to track how system of agents from (potentially different companies) are working with each other. 6. AI will inevitably make hacking more sophisticated. AI solutions to tackle cybersecurity attacks, identity and financial fraud, etc. If you are building in AI and need mentorship navigating the -1 to 0 journey, apply to our Spring 2025 Origins cohort. Applications close on 26th Jan - peercheque.com/origins @aakrit @miten @soaibgrewal @tanyagupta19 @agarwal_shivamm

Couldn't have put it better. "The best AIs are yet to come. They will be constructed brick by (painstaking!) brick. And they’ll be diversely designed, trained and closely tied to complex, valuable workflows. General purpose foundation models will be one part of the infrastructure for these AIs, and also see close coupling with cloud providers and consumer products." maithraraghu.com/blog/2024/b…

Two big AI takeaways SF trip this time. 1. Agents, of course. Enough has been said. 2. But what's fascinating is the AI-led services opportunity. I like to think of it as a full stack services business, with AI at every step of the workflow. Three examples: 🧵

pretty soon many of us will prefer talking to AI bots (instead of humans) on a majority of topics. simple reasons: 1. avg bot already way smarter than avg human 2. lower threshold of feeling judged by bots 3. bots will be much better at cutting biases in their responses wild.
