India’s next big leap isn’t just Gaganyaan. It’s building the talent that can take us beyond it. As Dr @SomanathSpeak points out, the real strength of a space program lies in its people — engineers, scientists, and thinkers who turn missions into milestones.

Very nifty AI-based tool that helps one learn Kannada on the go, by my colleague @prayanks at @Accel_India.
Vibe-coding to help myself. Using @cursor_ai and @rocketdotnew . I’ve taken Kannada courses a couple of times, but still forget most vocabulary in daily life. So I started building a small app — Kannada Lens — that uses your phone camera to detect objects and show names in
