At the IIT Madras Freshers' Party, a man dressed just like every other newcomer wearing the official fresher's kit and cap mingled with students for nearly an hour and a half. Remarkably, no one recognized him. That "fresher" was none other than the Director -Prof. V. Kamakoti 😍 It's hard to believe he is around 60 years old. Standing nearly six feet tall, energetic, approachable, and full of youthful enthusiasm, he effortlessly blended in with the students. Wearing a traditional kalava (sacred thread) on his wrist, he is often admired for embracing Indian values while leading one of the country's premier engineering institution. While addressing the cheering students, he said jokingly, "I am getting old; earlier I could pull off this prank for longer... within two minutes they found me". As forwarded via WA

Before India talked about “deep tech,” IIT Madras was already building it. At a recent IIT Madras event, Tarun Mehta of Ather Energy heard a staggering stat: 115 startups incubated last year — almost all in deep tech, hardware, or AI. But this culture didn’t appear overnight. Back in 2007, a group of alumni created the CFI — Center for Innovation — a massive lab filled with tools, equipment, and total creative freedom. Weekends suddenly meant: “What are you doing?” “I’m in CFI, building something.” By 2009, directors began modelling the research culture on Stanford. More dominoes fell: a junior started attempting startups at scale, and the Engineering Design department became a quiet catalyst — with nearly two-thirds of students attempting a startup at some point. What emerged was a generational shift: not just an institute that taught engineering, but an institute that built entrepreneurs, deep-tech products, and a culture of doing. In S4 of The Blume Podcast, Karthik interviews Tarun and dives into how IIT Madras became the birthplace of some of India’s most ambitious hardware and AI companies — including Ather. 🎧 Watch the full episode now — a story of culture, community, and creation: Karthik Reddy Ashish Fafadia Sajith Pai Sanjay Nath Arpit Agarwal Ria Shroff Desai sarita raichura Alok Mehta Mitul Mehta Rohit Kaul Deepika Gautham S Elton Ray Coelho Vikram Gawande

In the Platinum Jubilee Year of IIT Kharagpur, we proudly celebrate a defining moment as our distinguished alumnus, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, addressed the India AI Impact Summit 2026. Opening his remarks with a personal reflection, he shared, “Every time I visit, I’m struck by the pace of change, and today is no different. Back when I was a student, I often took the Coromandel Express from Chennai up to IIT Kharagpur. To get there, we passed through Visakhapatnam.” From his humble journey as a student to unveiling a transformative vision for India’s technological future, this trajectory stands as a powerful testament to purpose, perseverance, and global leadership. At the summit, Sundar Pichai announced Google’s plan to establish a full-stack AI hub in Visakhapatnam as part of a $15 billion infrastructure investment in India—further positioning the nation at the forefront of the global AI movement. He underscored that AI will undeniably reshape the workforce, automating certain roles, evolving others, and creating entirely new careers. He also highlighted breakthroughs such as AlphaFold by Google DeepMind, which compressed decades of protein-structure research into a publicly available database now used by millions of researchers worldwide, demonstrating how AI can accelerate scientific discovery at an unprecedented scale. As an institution that rose from the historic Hijli Detention Camp to become India’s first IIT, IIT Kharagpur embodies resilience, vision, and nation-building. In this landmark 75th year, we take immense pride in seeing our alumni shaping global technology, driving innovation, and contributing to India’s leadership in the AI era.

Nat Eliason’s (Nat Eliason) career arc is borderline absurd—but it works. He’ll spot a new tool or trend, master it, build a business around it, and move on. Nat’s pulled it off with the note-taking wave ($600k in sales from a Roam Research course), real estate (6x return flipping property in Austin), and crypto (published his insider story with Random House). Now it’s AI: he’s running a viral course on building apps with AI—$200k in pre-sales in just a week, 800 students and counting. I’ve known Nat for a long time and I think he has a great sense for where the puck is headed. He was one of the first guests I had on the podcast and I was delighted to have him on again. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: - Coding with AI has become orders of magnitude easier for non-technical people over the last 2 years—Nat rarely has to help students fix bugs; they troubleshoot in Cursor on their own. - AI coding assistants are creating new behaviours in programming, like using a speech-to-text model to talk to an agent and having it write code for you. - The traditional learning curve of coding is flattening because AI tools let beginners build and iterate in faster feedback loops. - AI has given Nat leverage in spades—it increases his ability to be a creator while also building a robust business with as few people to manage as possible. He demos an AI book editor he coded for his sci-fi novel. - In the age of AI, software is becoming content and the barriers to create are lower than ever—but custom software for everything isn’t the answer. Nat’s model is that personalized tools make sense for that one thing you care the most about. - Nat believes that the future of writing with AI is a Cursor-style interface with a model that’s trained on your style and voice. This episode is a must-watch for writers, creators, and anyone interested in the future of product building. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:45 The origins of Nat’s viral course on building apps with AI: 00:11:45 How coding with AI has evolved over the last two years: 00:18:46 Nat creates an app using Composer, Cursor’s AI assistant: 00:22:22 Tactical tips for coding with Cursor: 00:26:06 How coding with AI is creating new behaviours in programming: 00:29:06 What excites Nat the most about the future of AI: 00:32:41 A demo of Hubbard, the AI editor Nat built for his science fiction writing: 00:38:58 When does it makes sense to build custom software: 00:44:52 Nat’s take on the future of writing with AI: 00:49:18

#AMessageToPresidentEDMnangagwa This is what Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa really needs to hear, not what his self-serving close political allies and hangers-on are telling him for self-interest - that he is the only one who can run the country and needs to stay on to complete his Vision 2030. That is misleading and unhelpful. It's an authoritarian mindset, not a democratic perspective on how a country is run. Development visions, which are long-term, strategic goals aimed at creating a desired future for a nation, can't be tied down to one person and be completed in one or two terms; they are not an event, but a process which needs to be continued beyond a leader and his limited tenure. In a landmark 2015 speech at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, former United President Barack Obama strongly urged African leaders to respect term limits and step down, declaring that "nobody should be president for life". He argued that changing rules to stay in power risks instability and hinders democratic progress. Key points from Obama's address on African term limits: Respect for constitutions: Obama stated that leaders who change rules to stay in office, citing examples like Burundi, risk instability and conflict. "President for Life" Criticism: He criticised leaders who refuse to step aside, noting his confusion as to why they cling to power. Personal Example: He highlighted that despite enjoying his job and believing he could win a third term, he would abide by the US constitution's two-term limit, stating, "the law's the law". Call to Action: He urged the AU to uphold democratic principles and encouraged leaders to focus on building their nations rather than maintaining personal power. Obama's remarks were aimed at promoting democratic, peaceful transfers of power across the continent, emphasising that true leadership involves allowing new leaders to emerge.

Richard Hamming stood in front of Navy graduate students in 1995 and explained why smart engineers build the wrong systems. The camera caught 45 minutes of it. Almost nobody watches it. Hamming ran computing at Bell Labs when Bell Labs was inventing the modern world. Error-correcting codes carry his name. Every hard drive, every satellite link, every AI training run leans on his math. This lecture isn't about code. It's about why teams optimize the part and lose the whole. Every startup drowning in AI agents that work in demos and die in production is making the mistake he names here. He was 80 years old. He'd watched 4 decades of brilliant people fail the same way and distilled it into 1 chalk talk for students who mostly forgot it. An engineering director I know stopped the video near the middle, screenshotted the board, and made it his team's wallpaper. The footage sits free on YouTube. Fewer views than a desk lamp review. The systems fail the same way every decade. The lecture doesn't change.

He skipped placements at IIT Madras for 2 consecutive days. On the third day, he took a flight back to Mangalore just to avoid being forced by his family to attend placements. His desire to build an aircraft company was so intense that it made him act irrationally in front of his family. He then started building his aircraft company from Bengaluru. When he had barely Rs 20,000 in hand, he still hired an intern, promising a stipend of Rs 7,000. On one of the days when he could not make it back to his PG on time, he spent the night at the Majestic bus stand. All of this at the age of 23! That is the story of Shreepoorna S Rao, founder of Arctus Aerospace, a company building unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly up to 45,000 feet and capture imagery for a wide range of use cases. Hear his full story on the ಮುಂದೆ ಬನ್ನಿ podcast, with English subtitles for those who do not follow Kannada. 👇
