India has 27 million open-source developers, the 2nd largest GitHub community in the world. GitHub's COO expects us to be #1 by 2028. But most Indian developers still treat GitHub as a place to store code, not to show work. Your open-source contributions are a public, verifiable resume. A recruiter can't see your office work — but they can see your PRs, your issues, your consistency. I've seen candidates get shortlisted purely because their GitHub told a better story than their CV.

IT companies are now paying Elite Engineers up to ₹15-16 LPA! In 2-3 years, you can become a forward-deployed Engineer. But who is an Elite Engineer? An Elite Engineer is not someone who knows AI instead of coding — it's someone who knows AI on top of coding. Your college won't make you an Elite Engineer. Your syllabus was written before ChatGPT was born. The ₹15L fresher and ₹3.5L fresher studied the same syllabus — one waited for college to teach him, the other opened YouTube in 2nd year.

For 100 years, automobile companies hired mechanical engineers. That era is ending. So if you're a software developer thinking "automobile is not my field" — wrong. The car industry needs YOU more than the IT industry does right now. Your modern car is basically a smartphone on wheels. A car isn't a machine anymore. It runs on millions of lines of code — from the infotainment screen to the braking system; software controls everything. Shortage + demand = your salary goes up. Simple economics.

The biggest problem humans are going to face in this 21st Century is not Climate Change, Its Distraction. Reading a full book? Gone. Sitting with one thought for 30 minutes? Almost impossible now. Here's the truth: In the 20th century, the rich had money. In the 21st century, the rich will have focus. Focus is the new superpower. Attention is the new currency. So the question isn't "what do you want to achieve?" It's "can you stay focused long enough to achieve it?"

Happy to hear that the private company Skyroot Aerospace launched India's first privately developed orbital-class rocket; congratulations to the entire team. BTW, it has been worrisome to see 100 top scientists resign from ISRO (via voluntary retirement) to join private startups. This same pattern can be observed at NASA; NASA is losing its talent, and they are being absorbed by SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Had a wonderful opportunity to conduct an AI session for the faculty at Loyola College, Chennai. The event was exceptionally well organized, with more than 400 professors participating enthusiastically. I have always admired the curiosity and passion for learning among the professors at Loyola, and today's session reinforced that impression. Their energy, engagement, and eagerness to explore the latest developments in AI and technology were truly inspiring.

History shows us that while tools, technologies, and business models keep evolving, one pattern remains unchanged—those who resist change eventually become irrelevant. In the world of technology and business, adaptation is no longer a strategic advantage; it is a survival skill.

I had the privilege of delivering a session on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the students of M.O.P. Vaishnav College for Women (Autonomous). It was a truly enriching experience to interact with such an enthusiastic and curious group of learners who showed keen interest in understanding how machines interpret and process human language.

This initiative began with NAVEEN K. He identified the opportunity to contribute Tamil translations to the official Node.js documentation, reached out to the Node.js team, initiated the discussions, secured access, and independently led the translation and approval process.

Returned to my alma mater, DG Vaishnav College, after 15 years — this time not as a student, but as a speaker 😄. Delivered a seminar on “Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI,” discussing rapid change, new startup opportunities, and tools today’s students have that we never imagined. Walked around campus reliving memories, especially the pond where we once spent hours. Same place, new look — a true full-circle moment filled with nostalgia and gratitude.

My wings just expanded with Vibe Coding — and I documented the entire experiment. If you’re a CTO, Engineering Manager, Delivery Head, or planning to introduce AI tools to your development team, this case study is for you. I ran a real-world experiment comparing AI-assisted development across two programming languages — and the results may surprise you. Spend 2 minutes reading this before rolling out AI tools. It could save time, reduce costs, and prevent unrealistic expectations.

Back in school, even a basic calculator felt forbidden. By 12th grade, we were finally allowed scientific calculators—as if we’d earned the right to press buttons. Soon, exams may allow AI tools like ChatGPT. Evaluation will shift from memorising to thinking, reasoning, and asking the right questions. Open-book exams were step one. Next: Open-AI assessments. The future of learning is going to be far more interesting.
