Thanks E2E Networks Limited for having me over to participate on this wonderful panel at #InnovAI deliberating on the “Future of AI - Opportunities and Challenges for Startups”, alongside a diverse set of panelists moderated by Ankit Bose, and great insights from Prayank Swaroop Tanvi Lall & Nirant Kasliwal. Here’s a gist of the broader conversation: - what specific qualities or attributes do investors look for in AI startups when making investment decisions? - How do AI startups go from the PoC or prototyping stages to the commercialising stage where their products are made available in the market? - Is it possible to build AI for India without building large foundation models? - How can India build and democratise access to robust digital infrastructure to support AI development and deployment? - How can India bolster its national AI startup ecosystem to project global competitiveness? What are the key strategic priorities given India’s unique challenges and opportunities? Fabstastic to see an engaging audience of ~300 at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore on a Saturday morning, all ears and with questions for a technology that is expected to bring about a massive shift in / for research, academia, industry, governments and citizens.
