🎙Gandharv:- Wasiq whenever I go to Google and search for Open Source Contribution, I never find a link for 'Tester' as a very first time. Most of the links I find only talk about 'How to contribute to open source as a developer.' Why is that? Wasiq :- 🎙Gandharv It's not that we, as testers, aren't contributing to open source. The real reason, I believe, is that as an open source contributor, we're not showcasing it properly, which limits awareness about our contributions. The whole podcast is now ready at and it will be live this week please stay tuned for further updates ft Wasiq Sir.

If you are into investments/markets, and aren't aware about what's happening with Nvidia, you are surely living under a rock A CAGR of 75%+ in last 10 years 400%+ in last 5 years 100%+ in last 3 years 200%+ in last 1 year These are not some numbers you can say "wow" and just move on. These are really mind shattering numbers. And this is not like a BSE listed operator driven company. It has been built on a serious 20 year+ long vision by the founder. And it's now the most valuable company of the world. Where Google, Amazon and Apple have been racing for #1 position for ages, imagine a player comes from 100th+ position and in 2-3 years just surpasses everyone to be leading. Just like Aamir Khan in Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar 🤣 I've been reading and hearing a lot of stories of employees who are retiring by age of 35/40, even younger. They have minted millions through ESOPs already. A trouble sign for the company if all great talent retires and leaves early. Drawbacks of success hehehe. I had first heard about Nvidia in 2006 during my Computer Science Engineering when batchmates interest in gaming, wanted to buy Nvidia graphics card for their systems. Little was I aware then that it will become this behemoth. It's an investment miss from my side, just like so many companies in hindsight 😂 But what amazing stories to hear from friends and their friends who have bought 4-5 houses in tier 1 and 2 cities in last 1 year and many more assets 😄 Incredible story. Power of ESOPs if in the right company.

In the morning I saw, #Blinkit delivering iPhones in 10 mins (~ close to 300 orders closed already) Later after an hour, I saw #zepto delivering iPhones in 8 mins And now I just saw #bigbasket.com delivering iPhones in 6 mins. Like are we buying #Apple iPhones or just apple? This is getting crazier.. I am not sure if in other countries too this is happening. I think they have taken quick word too seriously!! Just wondering, where the world is headed to? 🤔 #iphone16 #zepto #blinkit #bigbasket #cfbr #salestrategy #ecommerce

LLVM Social Bangalore is back with an online meet. And this time, we’ll be hosting Prof. Manas Thakur from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay on a very interesting topic about #JIT #Compilers! Title: Fixing the see-saw: Enabling precise optimizations in JIT compilers, efficiently Date: 18th May 2024 (Saturday) Time: 3:00 PM onwards Venue: Online (Google Meet) RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gJeMR_2V Note : You must RSVP to get the meeting link! Please do this ahead of time. Abstract (In the Professors own words): Just-in-time (JIT) compilers offer novel ways to optimize programs based on their execution profile and have found significant usage in languages with managed runtimes. However, as the JIT-compilation time directly affects the execution time of a program, precision-enhancement techniques from the static-analysis world seldom find way into these otherwise powerful systems. In this talk, I would first illustrate the above challenge using examples of program analysis aimed at enabling stack allocation of heap objects in Java. We would see how we have developed techniques to not only allocate a large number of objects on stack (leading to reduced garbage collection and improved performance), but to also handle challenges posed by possible dynamism in Java Virtual Machines. We would also understand how we facilitate code specialization in even newer dimensions by reusing compiled code for the lazy dynamic language R. All parts of the story would be bound by our encompassing goal: efficiency during program execution.

The Wall Street Journal article "AI Threatens India's Outsourcing" discusses the growing impact of AI on India's outsourcing industry. As AI advances, it's starting to replace low-end jobs like call center work and basic business processes, posing a significant threat to employment in these areas. The article highlights how companies like Tech Mahindra and Infosys are developing AI tools to streamline operations and enhance services, potentially reducing the need for human labor in certain areas. While the shift towards AI creates opportunities for higher-end services requiring advanced skills, the article emphasizes the negative impact on lower-wage jobs and the urgent need for upskilling the workforce. The industry must adapt quickly to these changes to stay competitive in the global market. ____ #AIKnowledge #AIForBusiness #AILeadership #sushtend #AI #GenerativeAI #LeadersOfAI

BOULT: Cracking the Personal Audio Market in India Ever wondered how BOULT made its mark in the fiercely competitive audio market already ruled by Boat and Noise? Here's a breakdown of the insights from THINK SCHOOL'S podcast :) --- 1️⃣ TWS Revolution: The game-changer started in 2017 with True Wireless Earbuds (TWS). Thanks to Apple, TWS became the dominant category in personal audio, capturing 55% of the market share. And BOULT rode this wave perfectly. 2️⃣ Pricing Strategy: International brands like Apple and Sony charge ₹5k-₹10k, but BOULT found the sweet spot by offering top-tier quality at an affordable price. Why? Because they understood consumer behavior—people tend to lose their wireless earbuds, so BOULT’s budget-friendly approach made sense. 3️⃣ Sales Channels: E-commerce is where the action is: A massive 70-75% of TWS sales come from platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, making up ₹6,000 Cr of India's personal audio market. D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) is a tough nut to crack: At just 10% of total sales, it’s not as profitable due to high customer acquisition costs (CAC) and slimmer margins. 4️⃣ Profitability Formula: E-commerce becomes profitable once organic sales start rolling in, after the initial marketing push. Offline sales, despite the higher costs, offer better margins and long-term stability because of the emotional connection with customers. D2C serves the brand recall purpose, not immediate profits. 5️⃣ Cost Breakdown: Marketing costs in D2C can be as high as 50% in the beginning. On the other hand, e-commerce marketing costs stabilize as the brand grows. Offline channels demand a higher team cost and operational overhead, but in return, they build brand loyalty and long-term trust. --- Takeaway: BOULT succeeded by offering affordable quality, embracing multi-channel sales, and truly understanding India's price-sensitive yet quality-conscious audience. They didn't just play the game; they changed the rules. --- So, what do you think about the future of personal audio in India? Drop your thoughts in the comments below! So, if you found this post insightful, make sure to give it a thumbs up. This is Aishwarya, Signing off!! #ecommerce #stratergy

"We did not care, but 80 -> 10k happened in 5 months" Vizuara's YouTube channel crossed 10k subscribers yesterday. No big deal. There are thousands of great channels out there. However, I just wanted to share a few interesting things from our channel's growth from 80 subscribers 5 months ago (Feb 2024) till now (July 2024). 1) We honestly never cared about building our YouTube channel and building up subscribers. So the channel was mostly dormant. 2) At some point our team decided that we would like to learn new things from various domains of research (including AI/ML) and product development. 3) We figured out that the best way to learn things for our own benefit is to teach others. So we decided to start teaching on YouTube. 4) There were a few questions. What should be optimized for? YouTube algorithm or just the content? We decided to go ahead with the content. 5) We create content based on what we enjoy learning and teaching rather than what the YouTube analytics say. This way we don't care about the outcome but more about the process. 6) If we did care about the outcome, then why am I talking about the 10k subscribers? Because I am just amused to see that without focusing much on channel growth, it just naturally happened. I just wanted to share that experience. 7) I have never asked in any lecture video to subscribe to the channel. But since subscribers are coming naturally I am tempted to think how much the channel will grow in the future. I predict that Vizuara's YouTube will reach 100k subscribers before Dec 31 2025 and 1 million subscribers before Dec 31, 2028. 8) Do I not care about the channel growth now? I think I care now since it feels like a baby growing. 9) So what is our plan? We will continue to learn interesting concepts that will help our product development and convert whatever we learn into a lecture series on YouTube. 10) When interesting papers come out we will review them on our channel. 11) We will not focus on YouTube analytics to decide what content to create. The only optimization we will try to do is in the thumbnails. 12) We will not focus on the editing of the video too much. Our singular focus will be the answer to the following question: "If 100 people watch this lecture, will 90+ people understand it well"? If the answer is yes we will publish the lecture. 13) We will continue to use a good quality mic, camera, and slides 14) We will invite knowledgeable fields people from different fields for making lecture on topics that are interesting but we are not experts at. If you want to host a good lecture series on our channel feel free to reach out to me. I have never asked this anyone personally. But I will do it now. If you are interested in AI/ML/LLM/GNN/DS/DSA/PM, research etc, feel free to subscribe to our channel here: https://lnkd.in/g2xtTQb5

Watching one full match of IPL requires approximately 25GB of data, which makes me wonder if Jio is banking on our hunger for high-quality content to drive data plan upgrades. The free IPL streaming on Jio Cinema has disrupted the sports broadcast industry in India. Added to this, JioCinema also offers some interesting features that can improve the overall viewing experience. You can now: - watch IPL matches in 12 different languages.  - it is possible to switch camera angles according to your preference. - hype mode that lets you multitask while watching the match, participating in trivia, checking scoreboards, etc.  - the “Hero cam” feature that allows you to focus on one cricketer the whole time. With these features, it is proof that Jio Cinema knows that we are a player-obsessed and cricket-obsessed nation. Whether Jio chooses to monetize IPL directly or indirectly, this move is part of Jio’s strategic plan for growth and positioning itself as a dominant player in the Indian market. Why do you think they’ve purchased IPL streaming rights for 23,575 crores and giving it to you for free? #ipl2024 #streaming #jio

From kirana Wale bhaiya to Zomato wala delivery boy, I have all folks in my WhatsApp inbox. 😂 Moreover, my WhatsApp is cluttered with business spams. All this is about to get solved. WhatsApp is working on third party interoperable messaging apps integration within the WhatsApp interface. This will enable you to manage the chats of all third party apps like Telegram, Google Messages, Signal on WhatsApp itself. One can directly send text msg and media files without switching the app. This will definitely go to see mass adoption as this will turn out a medium for us to separate personal chats with non-personal ones. But, here is a catch. It is being brought only in Europe due to the European Digital Market Act regulations. It should be brought to India as well as this opens up a lot of opportunities for other smaller messaging platforms as users can access them from one interface. What are your thoughts on this? Also what other features would you like to see in the unified WhatsApp interface? This is going to be an interesting segment to look into. #india #startup #regulations
