Five Tweets Shaping Tomorrowās Playbook

Hey there!
Itās Sparsh here!š
In a world where innovation cycles move at breakneck speed, a few sharp tweets can sometimes tell us more about the future than a stack of whitepapers.š
From the transformative power of AI to the audacious dreams of economic growth, and from biotechās untapped frontiers to cross-border startup collaborations, these five tweets offer a snapshot of the energy and ambition shaping our era. š¤
Letās dive in and unpack what they reveal about where weāre headed.š
ā”When AI Hits the Fast Lane
AI accelerates product development
One of the most powerful impacts AI has had is to dramatically compress the development timeline for net new products. Three anonymized examples from the past 2 months.
1. Series A company: PM + Sales Engineer prototype a new agentic product
ā Gokul Rajaram (@gokulr)
3:21 PM ⢠May 22, 2025
Gokul Rajaram doesnāt just talk about AI, he shows how itās turbocharging product development. Forget months-long cycles; teams are now prototyping, selling, and deploying in days. š

š”Takeaway:
AI is enabling āvibe codingā; rapid, scrappy prototyping that bypasses traditional bottlenecks. While engineering rigor is still required for scale and reliability, the sheer velocity is transformative.š
šŖRajaramās Challenge:
If your product teams arenāt moving 1.5ā2x faster, itās time to ask why.
š§ Rethinking the AI Race
India AI - What will it take to truly make India the AI capital of the world?
My honest thoughts:
1. Language or Intelligence - Choose one.
We canāt compete with frontier AI labs on intelligence and also try to do it in regional languages.
First build in English (a large
ā Sudarshan Kamath (@kamath_sutra)
3:51 AM ⢠Apr 30, 2025
Sudarshan Kamathās thread is a candid, sometimes provocative, roadmap for anyone serious about making India a global AI powerhouse. šŖ
He doesnāt sugarcoat the challenges, and heās not afraid to call out common missteps. šļø
š£ļøThe Language vs. Intelligence Dilemma
Kamath argues that India faces a fork in the road: should it focus on building the smartest AI, or prioritise making AI accessible in every regional language?š¬
Heās clear that trying to do both at once is a recipe for mediocrity. His advice:
Build in English first, since most global intellectual property and research is in English.š
Once Indiaās AI is among the best in intelligence, then tackle the language challenge for broader accessibility.šÆ

Kamathās path is both a warning and a rallying cry: Indiaās moment is now, but it requires focus, belief, and a willingness to play on the world stage.š
š£Sushi Tech Tokyo
Ambassador @AmbSibiGeorge inaugurated the Indian Pavilion at Sushi Tech 2025 in Tokyo, where he met with a high-potential delegation of Indian startups led by Startupindia, DPIIT in the august company of Shri Sumeet Jarangal, Director DPIIT and Saravjeet Singh, Startup India.

4:47 PM ⢠May 8, 2025
The SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025 event is a vibrant showcase of how innovation transcends borders. Indian startups, along with global peers, are presenting breakthroughs in deeptech, mobility, healthtech, and sustainability. š
The Indian Pavilion, inaugurated by , highlights how startups are using such platforms to:
Forge partnerships with Japanese and other international stakeholders.ā
Gain exposure to new markets and global investors.š
Share their journeys and learn from diverse ecosystems.š
āWhy It Matters:
ā Startups gain global exposure and access to international investors.
ā Collaboration across borders leads to richer innovation and new business models.
ā Sectors like AI, biotech, and smart infrastructure find a platform to influence global urban policy and development
š§¬Biotechās Blind Spots
In biotech, a small number of disease areas are focused on due to industry structure (many companies are incubated by VCs, who flip them pre-product into the pipelines of a handful of pharmas)
This means a lot of big, impactful areas are completely ignored and unfunded
Here are

11:00 PM ⢠May 20, 2025
Elad Gilās tweet is a reality check for the biotech sector. He notes that due to the industryās structure, a few disease areas get all the attention and funding, while others are ignoredšø:
š§¬Fertility: Fertility solutions that enable any adult to have children with any other.
ā±ļøAgeing: Tackling neurosensory and cosmetic ageing.
š¦·Dental: Technologies for regrowing teeth.
š¶Biomarkers: Machine-driven cancer detection, inspired by the abilities of dogs to smell disease.
āļøGilās challenge to founders:
Donāt just follow the herd. Find the overlooked problems. The next big biotech wave will come from those willing to tackle what others ignore.ā
šAmbition, Achievement, and Restlessness
When I was in business school, the idea of India overtaking Japan in GDP felt like a distant, almost audacious dream. Today, that milestone is no longer theoretical ā weāve become the worldās fourth largest economy.
Itās no small achievement. Japan has long been an economic
ā anand mahindra (@anandmahindra)
2:39 PM ⢠May 25, 2025
Anand Mahindraās reflection on India overtaking Japan to become the worldās fourth-largest economy is both a celebration and a challenge.š
Mahindraās message is clear: this milestone, while historic, is not a finish line but a checkpoint. š
The Real Milestoneš:
Overtaking Japan is historic, but the next goal is to raise per capita GDP.š°
The Path Forwardš:
Sustained reforms in governance, infrastructure, manufacturing, education, and capital access are essential.š
Indiaās ambition must now be matched by execution and a relentless drive for improvement.šŖš¼
šIn essence:
Indiaās economic ascent is a powerful symbol of whatās possible, but itās also a reminder that ambition must always be paired with action. The journey is ongoing, and the next chapter will be written by those who refuse to settle.š
š¼Final Thoughts: The Playbook for Tomorrow
These five tweets, from AIās new speed to biotechās overlooked frontiers and the restless ambition of emerging economies, are more than just social media soundbites. š²
Theyāre signals from the edge, reminders that the next wave of innovation will come from those who move fast, think global, and dare to tackle the hard problems. š”
So, whether youāre a founder, investor, or just someone who wants to stay ahead of the curve, keep your eyes on these signals. The next big shift might be just a tweet away. š
