Had a great conversation with Richard Seroter, Senior Director and Chief Evangelist at Google Cloud, during Google I/O Connect India in Bangalore today. We spoke about how he uses Gemini in his day to day work, how Google is handling the massive compute demand for AI, why defining goals matters more than writing perfect specs, and what's next for Gemini.

Congratulations to Sarvam (Sarvam) on the first close of their Series B, and a warm welcome to HCLTech (HCLTech) and Bessemer Venture Partners India (Bessemer India), who join us in this journey with the conviction that has defined Sarvam from day one: that India should build and own its AI stack. In under three years, the team has turned that idea into working infrastructure: → Frontier models trained from scratch in India that hold their own against far larger systems → Speech models transcribing over half a million hours of audio a month in real Indian conditions → Voice agents already live, from banking and insurance to government and defence, reaching Indians at population scale| This is what sovereign AI looks like, and the team is just getting started. Here's Vivek on why sovereign AI matters, and why India can't afford to import its intelligence anymore. Once again, congratulations to Vivek (Vivek Raghavan), Pratyush (Pratyush Kumar), and the team. Hemant Mohapatra

Noted economist Ruchir Sharma says 👇 • The entire world today has a monomaniacal focus on AI. • It’s all about which countries will be the winners and losers in AI. • Unfortunately for India, in contrast to what happened during the tech boom of the 1990s and 2000s, foreign investors have concluded that India is a loser in the AI space. • The world is obsessed with building infrastructure for AI, something India sorely lacks. • Countries like South Korea and Taiwan are doing far better, while India is nowhere close. This is the stark reality. Hype and photo-ops won’t suffice. India, which became the flagbearer of the IT and telecom revolution thanks to visionary leadership at the time, cannot afford to let the AI revolution pass us by. But sadly, that is exactly what is happening - and the world is not going to wait.

#WATCH | Astana, Kazakhstan: On India-Kazakhstan relations, India's ambassador to Kazakhstan, Y.K. Sailas Thangal, says, "India hosted the AI summit, and Kazakhstan is now holding the AI bridge. Now, this is an important summit and meeting where people from various parts of the world come together and discuss the possibilities of what AI can do, and what AI can change in the world today. But as far as India-Kazakhstan is concerned, I think we should move from the tabletop discussions on these things to actual practical joint cooperation... India has a large pool of AI talent. Then we have the ecosystem. We have a strong technology presence and the startup ecosystem... While Kazakhstan is also a regional hub of technology, with strategic connectivity and also the AI infrastructure... I would like to see India and Kazakhstan coming together and launching joint co-pilot AI projects for research and innovation... India and Kazakhstan have wonderful relations. Our relations are deep-rooted... But we are still weak in trade. Our bilateral trade continues to be below one billion dollars, which I think is a serious anomaly because we have a perfect combination for successful economic cooperation."

The "big announcement" just dropped. I just watched Sundar Pichai and Demis Hassabis announce biggest AI infrastructure deal in history. $15 billion to build India's first complete AI hub. Let me break down what Google is building: A massive AI data center in Visakhapatnam (a coastal city in India). Think of it like this: • The compute power of thousands of Google data centers • New underwater internet cables connecting 4 continents • Clean energy plants to power everything • Training programs for 100+ million people All in one place, over 5 years. AI doesn't work without fast internet. Google is laying NEW cables under the ocean: → India to Singapore → India to South Africa → India to Australia → Mumbai to Western Australia Right now, most of the world's internet flows through cables landing in the US, Europe, or China. Google is creating an entirely new route, with India at the center. If you're in Africa, Asia, or South America, your AI tools will get FASTER. Why? Shorter distance = faster data. Instead of your request traveling: Africa → Europe → US → back to Africa It will go: Africa → India → back to Africa that's the infrastructure play everyone's missing. numbers that matter: 💰 $15 billion for the data centers and cables 💰 $30 million to help governments use AI 💰 $30 million for AI research grants 💰 100 million+ people getting free AI training But here's the kicker: Google is plugging AI directly into India's government. • 20 million government workers getting AI tools • Students getting AI tutors for entrance exams • Real-time translation in 70+ languages • Scam detection built into search This isn't "AI for tech companies." This is AI for clerks, teachers, railway staff, police officers, the people who actually run a country. ✅ 20 million+ people used Google's AI detection tool to spot fake images ✅ India is now #3 globally for AI chatbot usage ✅ AI scam detection helping millions avoid fraud daily ✅ 10+ million government workers already on the AI training platform Google is building the pipes that deliver AI to the entire Southern Hemisphere. Different game. Different strategy. If they're right, the next billion AI users won't connect through Silicon Valley. They'll connect through India. 🇮🇳

From rewriting Google’s search stack in the early 2000s to reviving sparse trillion-parameter models and co-designing TPUs with frontier ML research, Jeff Dean has quietly shaped nearly every layer of the modern AI stack. As Chief AI Scientist at Google and a driving force behind Gemini, Jeff has lived through multiple scaling revolutions from CPUs and sharded indices to multimodal models that reason across text, video, and code. We sat down with Jeff to unpack what it really means to “own the Pareto frontier,” why distillation is the quiet force behind every generation of faster, cheaper models, how energy not FLOPs is becoming the true constraint on AI compute, what it takes to co-design hardware and models 2–6 years into the future, why unified multimodal systems will outperform specialized ones, what it was like leading the charge to unify all of Google’s AI teams, and his prediction that deeply personalized models with access to your full digital context will redefine what useful AI looks like.

He started as a chess prodigy and video game designer at 17 before getting a PhD in neuroscience and going on to found DeepMind. His lab cracked Go, solved protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, and then gave it away free to every scientist on earth. That work won him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today he leads Google DeepMind, pushing toward the same goal he set as a teenager: AGI. On this special live episode of How to Build the Future, he sat down with YC's Garry Tan to talk about what still needs to happen to get us to AGI, his advice for founders on how to stay ahead of the curve, and what the next big scientific breakthroughs might be. 01:48 — What’s Missing Before We Get To AGI? 03:36 — Why Memory Is Still Unsolved 06:14 — How AlphaGo Shaped Gemini 08:06 — Why Smaller Models Are Getting So Powerful 10:46 — The 1000x Engineer 12:40 — Continual Learning and the Future of Agents 13:32 — Why AI Still Fails at Basic Reasoning 15:33 — Are Agents Overhyped or Just Getting Started? 18:31 — Can AI Become Truly Creative? 20:26 — Open Models, Gemma, and Local AI 22:26 — Why Gemini Was Built Multimodal 24:08 — What Happens When Inference Gets Cheap? 25:24 — From AlphaFold to the Virtual Cells 28:24 — AI as the Ultimate Tool for Science 30:43 — Advice for Founders 33:30 — The AlphaFold Breakthrough Pattern 35:20 — Can AI Make Real Scientific Discoveries? 37:59 — What to Build Before AGI Arrives

Last year in Parliament, I spoke about India’s AI journey and two clear priorities. First, from Make in India to Make AI in India. Build our own capability, invest in research, and strengthen the infrastructure and compute we need to compete. Second, make advanced generative AI tools accessible and affordable for every Indian, in every language, so that no one is left behind. It is good to see AI back at the centre of national conversation as India hosts key discussions on its future. Now the focus must shift from intent to implementation. If we expand access and build with ambition, India can move from being a technology user to a technology leader. The question is not whether AI will shape the future. The question is whether India will help define it.
