🚨 Is your phone really yours anymore? The Govt's mandate to force-install the #SancharSaathi app on all smartphones is a critical step towards digital authoritarianism. By seizing control of our hardware, the state is destroying the concept of 'Device Sovereignty'.

In 2018, KITE launched KOOL (KITE's Open Online Learning)—the state’s first online platform approved via Govt Order. Today @timesofindia highlights how we are upskilling 58,000+ teachers in AI and tech integrated pedagogy. Visionary. Scalable. Impactful.#KITEKerala #KOOL

Discussed the KITE, Kerala EdTech model at #ODFF2025 (@ITforChange_E). We're scaling AI & robotics system-wide by empowering teachers, using FOSS, integrating tech into the curriculum, and ensuring equity for all. Watch the discussion: https://t.co/NPKWiB63bq

Happy to be quoted in Hindu BusinessLine today on India's AI Governance Guidelines launch—timely for innovation, but my concerns run deep. AI for villages? Yes. But voluntary rules + central oversight = surveillance risks redux from IT Rules/DPDP. #IndiaAI

Major leap for inclusive learning! 🚀 KITE is customizing GCompris (the popular FOSS educational suite) specifically for Children With Special Needs (CWSN). I discussed the project with GCompris' Timothée Giet during his recent visit to Trivandrum.

Today marks the Silver Jubilee of India's IT Act. Has it been a tool for progress or a weapon for suppression? My op-ed on its 25-year journey and its impact on our digital rights is published in today's Mathrubhumi Daily. #ITAct2000 #CyberLaw #DigitalRights #FreedomOfSpeech

The statement in today's 'The Hindu' like "Open Source is not secure" for Govt. employees is flat-out wrong and baseless. FOSS is widely considered MORE secure due to community audit and transparency. How can we push #DigitalSovereignty by replacing FOSS with proprietary regimes?
