after close to four years at @openai, i moved from the bay area to india earlier this year. i still believe deeply in ensuring true superintelligence accelerates science and remains accessible and beneficial to all. having grown up here, i’ve also always felt deeply connected to the ecosystem here.
over the past several weeks, i’ve been speaking with researchers, engineers, and thinkers across india and apac. it’s become clear that there are many who want to build the future from here. moving back felt like the counterintuitive choice. i no longer think that’s true.
what’s been missing is the belief that you can build institutions of global consequence from anywhere. and more importantly, the ambition and the will to pursue ideas that seem impossibly large at first. this may be a once in a generation opportunity.
more to come soon. DMs open if this resonates.
