Sarvam is quietly building a version of opencode for India with local inference. Have been using it in our internal products. Hope this blows up in coming months.

I have been told local inference is misleading. 'In-Country Inference' is what I meant.

Suprise suprise: Tier 2 cities aren't that cheap either.
Why is no one doing this? 🤯 If you invest ₹2 crore in a Fixed Deposit earning 6.5% p.a., you’ll receive roughly ₹13 lakh in interest every year. you’ll pay ~₹78,000 in income tax, including cess. That leaves you with ₹12.22 lakh a year, or roughly ₹1.02 lakh per month after tax. 💰 Shift to a Tier-2 city and live comfortably on your interest income. 🏡 Your original ₹2 crore FD stays invested, while the interest pays for your lifestyle. Financial freedom is when your money works for you. 🚀

We got @OncourseAI to 80k+ signups as a small bootstrapped team, and I built @caddie_app in a week on the side. So we wrote down the 15 principles we actually work by with agents My favourite: keep at least five agents running, day and night. usecaddie.app/blog/agents

remember if this can happen to a sitting MP do you really think a common citizen has any immunity from the state's unilateral impunity
Manhandled, dragged, assaulted n misbehaved inside a police vehicle and dumped by the roadside - for the crime of speaking to the media. This is not merely an assault on an MP. It is an assault on democratic freedoms and the rule of law. More chillingly, it happened within hours of the Supreme Court issuing directions to safeguard peaceful protest and constitutional rights. I have written to the Hon’ble President of India @rashtrapatibhvn , the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha @VPIndia and the Chief Justice of India seeking urgent intervention and fixing accountability for the police personnel, and action on the question of parliamentary privilege. The Government cannot intimidate democracy into silence. It cannot substitute the force of the baton for the force of debate. And it shouldn’t expect the people to surrender their constitutional freedoms merely because those in power find dissent inconvenient. The strength of a democracy lies not in its capacity to suppress dissent, but in its ability to address it.

wait, so the indian govt actually has the capability and resources for lightning-fast, large-scale mobilization? so we actually can make the city safer for women and improve regional security? how stupid of me to think the scale of the country was the problem.

This will be a big blow for festive season and people will collectively feel the pinch and becomes a topic of discussion in parties. When people collectively rant, the problem starts appearing larger than it actually just like Twitter echo chambers.
Big: As I write this, NPCI is currently meeting with all UPI apps and banks. During the meeting, NPCI has said, "We are all ready to implement UPI MDR on October 15." - a source says.
