At Avyaan Management, we understand the power of inclusivity, and that's why we prioritize building diverse data corpora for the future of AI. Think of a data corpus as the LLM's training ground. It's where the AI learns the nuances of language – from sentence structure to cultural references. If this data is homogenous, the LLM will struggle to understand the beautiful tapestry of human communication. Here's why inclusive data matters: Accuracy: Diverse data ensures LLMs can handle a wider range of voices and situations, leading to more accurate interpretations and responses. Fairness: Inclusive data sets minimize bias, preventing the reinforcement of stereotypes and promoting fair treatment for all users. Innovation: Exposure to a richer variety of language fuels creativity, allowing LLMs to generate more nuanced and insightful outputs. At Avyaan Management, we're committed to building the future of AI on a foundation of inclusivity. By incorporating diverse sources – from regional literature to multilingual conversations – we're empowering LLMs to understand the world in all its complexity. #InclusiveAI #DiverseData #LLM #AIethics #FutureofTech #ResponsibleAI #LanguageModeling #AvyaanManagement #BridgingTheGap #AIforEveryone

"Hum woh hai jo do aur do paanch bana de!" Amitabh Bacchan may have unwittingly provided inspiration to India's statistical agency in charge of GDP data. With GDP and GVA data series developing a will and personality of their own, India's growth story has become as unpredictable as ever. So when the Q1 FY25 GDP data was released last week, economists looked up at the natural wonder of GDP growth plummeting and GVA growth surging, and then tried to come up with words to describe what was going on! The 58th episode of The Bond Economist tries to make sense of what the latest GDP numbers say, and don't say about India's current state of the economy. And what could potentially lurk ahead.

So as promised in my last post, here's everything that I have learned about the BCG Matrix in an excellent session by Mayank Kapoor in the Fellowship Management Consultancy program at Growjunction ▪️BCG Matrix: Another example of a 2x2 matrix is the BCG matrix. Here we categorize products into four quadrants. Star, Dog, Question Mark, Cash Cow👇 Star: These are High-growth, high-market-share products needing heavy investment for sustained growth. Question Mark: High-growth, low-market-share products with potential, requiring significant investment to increase market share. Cash Cow: Low-growth, high-market-share products generating excess cash to fund other units. Dog: Low-growth, low-market-share products draining resources and candidates for divestment unless turnaround is feasible. ▪️Let’s take the example of four boAt Products: boAt Bassheads 102 Wired Earphones Airdopes 701 ANC True Wireless Earbuds boAt Bassheads 100 Wired Earphones boAt Rockerz 450 Bluetooth Headphones (You can pause reading and take a couple of minutes to categorize these products in the BCG matrix.) We'll categorize these products based on their market growth rate and relative market share: ✨Star: Airdopes 701 ANC True Wireless Earbuds With advanced features like active noise cancellation, it's experiencing rapid growth, making it a star product. ✨Cash Cow: boAt Rockerz 450 Bluetooth Headphones With a loyal customer base, it generates stable profits despite low market growth. ✨Question Mark: boAt Bassheads 102 Wired Earphones While new and promising, it needs investment to increase market share in a saturated market. ✨Dog: boAt Bassheads 100 Wired Earphones Facing tough competition and low market share, it might not be profitable without strategic changes. Based on the above analysis, what should be our strategy for the Question Mark Product? Should we save money or burn it? Answer can be that if the market is growing then we should be burning money. To move a Question Mark product to the Star category, we also have to do a lot of Benchmarking (discussed in previous post) . . . . #Growjunstion #fellowgrowjunction #managementconsultant #consulting

We are in the few months of the year. Every CXO is finalising his/her strategy, roadmap, AOP, as you name it. I see a sharp change this year. Every deck has an AI section, a sustainablity section and a gender inclusion section - the emphasis on them being way more than earlier. P.S - If you are thinking that my roadmap doesnt seem futuristic enough, you are not alone. DM us at Ripik.AI to explore how Vision AI is changing the way people operate factories. #ai #visionai #futureofindustry

Here is proof of the pudding on my article on the Samaj, Sarkar, Bazar Dynamic.... (please see link in comments) Tata Capital Healthcare Fund Lead Visalakshi Chandramouli shares her thoughts on 'Why Tata Capital Healthcare Fund is wary on Healthtech bets' and is restricting its exposure on it in this Piece from #livemint The piece also talks about the fate of Marquee Investor bets by brave investors on names we celebrated in the recent past and the fate they suffer. Estimating conservatively, that is a good 500 Million Dollars lost and more in the pipe if you notice some big names disappearing as fast as they appeared !! And we aren't even talking about the money young, bootstrapped and small capital startups that are in the space dying painful and unsung deaths from lack of procurement as the ecosystem and adoption languishes. Letting the adoption of digital health be scuttled, has strangled the space and investors are bleeding money...while the fiddlers fiddle. It is also strangulating the promise of AI and other seductive new technologies that would remain nothing more than experiments until real-time data of authentic provenance is available to them at scale to work on. The importance of Healthtech, in nations being able sustain offering their people Universal Healthcare or the Right to Health; and then graduating to Preventive, Predictive and Personalised healthcare or its geo-startegic importance can hardly be overstated. Yet our feet seem to be stuck in a quciksand at this moment! #digitalhealth #universalhealthcoverage #sdg3 #governance #opensource #publicgood #dpg #dpi #SaaS #iaas #paas #telecom #publichealth #globalsouth #aiinhealthcare #ai #adoption #mohfw #philanthropy #policy #nmc #healthcare #interoperability #digitaltransfomation #data4good #IITJodhpur #LibraFoundation #Innovation #Research #Onehealth #GIDH #abdm #exponentialtechnologies #linuxfoundation #thoughtleaders #transformation #policymakers #capacitybuilding #mozilla #a16z #healthtech #medtech #Innovation #datadriven #ml #pmoindia #nha #mygovindia #uhc #startups #incubation #pmoindia #g20 #h20 #telemedicine #primaryhealthcare #healthsecurity #pandemicpreparedness #Saúde #sus #SEIDIGI #PAHO #OPAS #africanunion #africahealth #cgdhi Sachin Chaturvedi #1mg #practo #pharmeasy Vamesh Chovatia PadUp Ventures Villgro Vilas Dhar World Health Organization #undp #adb #worldbank Pramila Srinivasan Peak XV Partners Quadria Capital HealthXCapital KKR TPG Khosla Ventures Ravishankar G V Alain Labrique Tom Frieden Tata Trusts Tata Communications Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India National Health Authority (NHA) #startupindia#startupindia Sunil Wadhwani Rahul (ZebPay) Pagidipati Dr.Bhadra Reddy #pafi Dilip Cherian McKinsey & Company NITI Aayog Official Ck Mishra Siddharth Sharma Anas Rahman Junaid Bhomik Shah Jhpiego India Health Fund PATH Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.

In my recent conversation in Airchat with Naval Ravikant regarding how can the movement from ex-ceo Stability AI, Emad Mostaque movement towards Decentralised AI be formed into a practical solution in the near future. And from the conversation, he said that - The current state of LLM training benefits the most from centralised data centres, and decentralising training of LLM don't really exist. - The current practice of training the model centrally and releasing it open sourced were done by Meta & Mistral but thats also really hard to be done, due to cost and moat-creation-strategy by Meta. - The key point in decentralising the training of the LLM will be if the space figure out some fundamental breakthroughs in decentralisation of LLM's training, only then the movement can be considered to be a practical near term solution. I think that this is a really fascinating point to look at, or even an endeavour to pursue. And if the future is the competition between centralised LLM with decentralised LLM, it will give better options for user to navigate through this new world as I believed LLM will be a big part of OS in the near future. You could find the link towards the conversation in the comments section.

Had a captivating evening at the Subra Suresh Distinguished Lecture Series with Yann LeCun, VP & Chief AI Scientist at Meta. He shared insightful perspectives, but one particular slide resonated with me deeply. These are just my interpretations of his slide (and NOT what/how he explained it) 1) The ongoing debate of AI versus Humans can be overwhelming, but LeCun's message is clear - a human child learns more in 4 years than AI models. It's a reminder to embrace AI as an ally, not a threat. There's still a long journey ahead, so let's approach AI with curiosity and collaboration. 2) LeCun's presentation also shed light on the intricate beauty of the human body, showcasing the marvel of creation and its intricate systems. It prompts reflection on the existence of God/consciousness and the awe-inspiring capabilities of our being. A thought-provoking evening that encourages us to appreciate the evolving relationship between AI and humanity, fostering a mindset of curiosity and admiration. #AI #Humans #Innovation #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence

#AIValue ~ I believe we are entering a phase where pilots and proof of concepts ought to be pressure-tested for scale-readiness. Additionally it’s time for early use cases to step back and be woven into more end to end AI enabled journeys and outcomes. This phase of value creation will require some new and additional thinking and underlying skills. Feel free to DM if you want to learn more and or share your own experiences! #DigitalStrategy #DigitalOutcomes #AIImpact

We've all heard the jokes about cricket scoreboards and statistics in the past. Traditional metrics often fell short in truly capturing the impact of key performances. However, just like in many other fields, data analytics has made significant strides in the world of sports. With new metrics and advanced analytical techniques emerging, the game is being seen through a whole new lens. While the Indian cricket team was initially slow to fully embrace data-driven strategies, we are now witnessing a major shift in approach. Cricket, being a multi-billion dollar industry in India, has tremendous potential to further tap into the power of analytics to drive performance, strategy, and fan engagement. But why stop at cricket? Expanding these capabilities to other sports like football could help address some of the pressing questions, such as why we struggle to find top-tier talent despite our vast population or why financial investments in certain sports haven’t always translated into on-field success. Data analytics could be the game-changer we need to turn the tide and unleash the full potential of sports in India. #DataAnalytics #SportsAnalytics #Cricket #Football #PerformanceMetrics #IndiaSports #InnovationInSports

Fractional share ownership could democratize investing by making expensive stocks more accessible to smaller investors. It could also increase liquidity in the market. However, there are concerns about complex voting rights and potential conflicts among fractional shareholders. what do you think?

Criticizing the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seems common now, but it’s equally important to examine the broader ecosystem's shortcomings, such as #fragmented #regulation, shallow #debtmarkets, the structural #nature of #banking that creates credit access gaps, and the weak synergies between #regulators due to a lack of coordination by the #FSDC. Should we revisit structural reforms, like the #FSLRC’s recommendations?
