We are excited to back Morphing Machines. As Dr. Ranjani, CTO and co-founder says: “For the first time in India and globally, we have a processor that is truly runtime reconfigurable, catering to emerging workloads.” While Nvidia’s growth and high valuation are driven by robust demand for “infra-compute” in high-performance GPUs, spurred by Gen AI, there is a distinct need for innovative solutions tailored to a new wave of reactive applications. Enter Morphing Machines. It addresses this demand with its unique product designed for next-gen telecom, autonomous vehicles, collaborative robots, avionics, and online data analytics. This product is specifically engineered to handle heterogeneous workloads and diverse tasks with varying performance demands simultaneously, ensuring a high level of scalability. As we move from an institutionally-backed research team at IISC to productization, Golden Sparrow is collaborating with Speciale Invest and others to support Deepak Shapeti, who joined as CEO three years ago after earning his Masters at Stanford. He brings not only technical expertise but also the business acumen necessary to guide the product to commercial success. Venkat Raju Afreed Faizan Anand Rao Ritik Singh Michael Marmor

Ai : Hunanity's greatest creation for Good and Bad. To secure ourself #zerotrustai In the journey, MS brings up VASA-1 will AI model which essentially spins a selfie image and turn it into a talking clip of you. All you have to do is upload a photo along with a voice note and let the AI model do the talking for you.

Day 13: Case Study: The Analog Ecosystem Powering Dynamic Neural Networks Imagine a supply chain that organizes itself, aligned to shared goals in real-time. That’s what we accomplished in the Australian fresh produce industry—a system once weighed down by inefficiencies, waste, and unpredictability. It was fragmented, reactive, and out of sync. The challenge was clear: How do we fix it? The solution wasn’t just to tweak the system, but to reimagine it completely. We stopped thinking of it as a traditional supply chain and envisioned it as a living ecosystem. An analog ecosystem powered by collaboration. We introduced ‘One Touch,’ a simple yet revolutionary system that connected growers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in real-time. They could see exactly what was happening in the supply chain, at every moment. Inventory, demand, availability—all dynamically adjusting, like neurons responding to live data. The impact? Over a billion dollars saved. Waste slashed. Inventory moved faster. What was once a broken system is now self-organizing, adapting, and thriving. This is the power of thinking differently. When you create an ecosystem that evolves with the world, it transforms how we live, work, and trade. Now, we’ve taken that analog ecosystem and digitally twinned it with a Dynamic Neural Network. And this is just the beginning of what’s possible. #SupplyChain #Sustainability #Innovation #ai #machine #NeuralNetworks #BalancedEcosystemScorecard

The Open Source Learning Center setup at OJone is more than just a facility; it is a hub for collaboration, education, and a testament to the power of open-source in driving growth and inclusivity. We are very excited that OpenNets, a company incubated at OJone, in partnership with the Linux Foundation, has setup a key element of Linux Foundation India.

Great to see this year end story from Sandhya M. on Quantum Computing in CIO.inc. As Sandhya says in the article, "Quantum computing is no longer a distant promise; it's reshaping industries and challenging enterprise IT paradigms. With United Nations declaring 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, a global spotlight is firmly on quantum innovation, urging nations to align their technological ambitions with a quantum-powered future." Thank you, Sandhya, for highlighting the importance of Quantum Computing. Next, we from India will shift that spotlight onto our nation, aiming to make this India's decade. Here's to a fantastic 2025 and beyond for India's quantum journey.

I'm always happy and proud to hear our early investors at REFASHIOND Ventures: The Industrial Transformation Fund talk about the work they are doing. Each of them is having real impact in building supply chains for tomorrow. In this podcast Zac talks about the underlying infrastructure for what what I describe as Information and Data Supply Chains. This is worth listening to if you want to get into some of the issues that will determine the future of Physical Supply Chains. #TWSCF #TNYSCM | The past ran on supply chains. The present runs on supply chains. The future will run on supply chains. The world is a supply chain.®
