India's AI Filmmakin... • 2m

India just became the No.1 user base for ChatGPT. It sounds like a milestone — and in some ways, it is. We’re hungry for innovation, fast to adopt, and unafraid to explore. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: We’re consuming — not creating. Fueling their AI — not building our own. Training their models — not owning the IP. Cheering from the sidelines — not defining the game. Yes, Indians are CEOs of global tech giants. Yes, our engineers power Silicon Valley. But the core technology? Still foreign. Still proprietary. Still not ours. Despite having: One of the largest pools of tech talent, Millions of young innovators, And an exploding creator economy... We still don’t have our own GPT. Our own Gemini. Our own DeepSeek. Why? Because our system plays it safe. Because investors shy away from deep tech risk. Because policy still lags behind ambition. Because building takes time — and we want returns tomorrow. So yes, we can celebrate our usage stats. But let’s not confuse participation with leadership. India doesn’t need to be the biggest user. It needs to be the boldest builder.

this isn't a milestone it's a warning that we are getting dependent over next gen of foreign tech instead of relying on our own only reason we never built google , amazon from India is exact same reason that we were late and till we could catch up they became so huge and powerful it was impossible to compete , same thing now happening with ai companies sooner or later all the ai companies from India will mostly shutdown or sell itself to other entities

Why are we not building our own social media? trump has its own social media ,even china has its own social media. India needs to have its own social media because we need to have the best in building our narrative.

They can replicate the product not the person building it. Here’s how I think about Founder Moats: 1) Speed Moat - We move faster than anyone else. Execution is our unfair advantage. 2) Distribution Moat - We have direct access to the audience oth

ChatGPT still wins not because it’s the smartest, but because it’s the clearest

This Reddit post hits different. 42-year-old who's adapted to every tech wave feels lost with ChatGPT. Not because it's hard to use, but because it feels "soulless" - like a talking encyclopedia instead of the AI companion we were promised. The pro

Not scaling. Not blowing up. Just... figuring things out. Right now, Social Struct is in that phase where there are more questions than answers. What type of creators fit best? What should our pitch really say? How do we balance brand expectations

Everyone’s leaving 😬 At every graduation ceremony, the announcements sound like this: – “She’s going to London.” – “He got into New York.” – “Stanford, Harvard, Yale…” No one says: – “I’m staying in India.” – “I’m building something for my own peo
