One of the things I love most about my job is hiring great talent. Being in interviews, learning about people's journeys, figuring out how they fit into the team and what unique strengths they bring - it's genuinely energizing. And every once in a while, you meet someone from the top 1%. Those conversations are different. You stop interviewing and start brainstorming how you'd build great products together. We're hiring for multiple product roles at Sarvam. If this sounds like you, come talk to us: sarvam.ai/careers

you know a lineup is special when even we can’t stop talking about it ✨ the person behind Tata Digital’s products, the one bringing Replit to every builder in India, the team building AI in India’s own languages, a founder betting on what comes next, and two Intuit leaders who see product and AI science from both sides of the table here’s who’s joining TPF Product (Un)Conference ‘26: Chandramouli Gopalakrishnan - Chief Product Officer, Tata Digital Syed Adil - Head of India, Replit Subrata Santra - Director of Product, Intuit Vignesh Subrahmaniam - Principal AI Scientist, Intuit Sanath Kumar - Founder, Deep Holistics Mani - Head of Product, Sarvam six people, six very different ways of building, and one room to compare notes. that’s the part you won’t get from a recording the conversations are lined up. the only thing missing now is you 👀 📍 November 21 & 22 | Bengaluru request an invite → theproductfolks.com/product-… (early bird is already sold out!) huge s/o to @figma , @AnthropicAI , @Replit , @Atlassian , @coderabbitai , @ElevenLabs , @FigrDesign , @gokwik , @IntuitIN , @mixpanel , @plivo , @SarvamAI , @stripe , @ToastTab , @bureauidentity , @descopeinc , @superergo_in , @smallest_AI , @apify , @prosperr.io and @firefliesai for making this happen 🙏 PS: building products, leading teams or working in AI? this is your room ✨

Do hard and inspiring things. All else is moot.
Ship 42 returns to Starbase, Texas for the first-ever Starship tower catch during Flight 15! I have dreamt of creating this image for years... and today it became real. Congrats, SpaceX team!

give a man a tool, and he'll get to work. give a man a way to build his own tools, and building tools becomes his work.

Over the next 1 to 2 years, I think inference speed becomes one of the biggest competitive deltas in AI products. As big as the jump from one model generation to the next. The models can already do the work. What holds the experience back is how long each step takes. Here’s what building with an agent looks like today. “Move this button.” Wait. “Fix the table layout.” Wait. “Add share functionality.” Wait several minutes, review, catch an issue, prompt again. You break work into small, safe prompts because each one costs time, and you stay in the loop for every step. Now make inference 100x faster. You say “add sharing.” Ten seconds later it’s live: the database table, the API, the permissions, the share modal, the link preview. Then you say “show me 10 different takes on the share flow.” Ten seconds later you have 10 working versions. When every prompt costs time, it creates friction and you ration your ideas. You only ask for things you’re fairly sure about. When feedback is immediate, that filter disappears. It also makes what you build better. Most people can’t fully spec an idea upfront. They figure out what they want by reacting to something real. A tight loop turns building into a conversation with the thing itself: see it, react, push further, see it again. Faster inference lowers the cost of imagining, and that’s where I expect the next big jump in adoption.

Raghunath ji, thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is at the heart of what we are attempting at @SarvamAI . We agree that you shouldn't have to count characters to be empowered by AI. We have credited your account with a lifetime access to our models. 🙏 Anyone else using Sarvam for accessibility, please write to us at [email protected]. Our team will address you directly while we work towards launching a formal program asap.
Hello @SarvamAI, I am 70, an oral cancer survivor since 2015. Cancer took away my God-given gift of speech. Today, my wife is my voice before doctors, banks and the outside world. I have spent years communicating through written notes, often unread or unanswered. At cancer hospitals, I see countless patients struggling to express their suffering. Our pain is ours, but our voice has become someone else’s. India has an estimated 1.99 million people with speech disabilities. For us, Text-to-Speech AI is not a convenience. It is our lost voice restored. A doctor may not read my 100-word note, but could listen to it in under a minute. Yet your per-character pricing makes regular use expensive. Could @SarvamAI introduce an affordable, unlimited-use Divyangjan monthly subscription like other AI models like #ChatGPT #GeminiAI? We are not asking for charity. We are asking for the dignity of speaking for ourselves. Waiting for your reply so that I can subscribe this tool right away. @narendramodi @AshwiniVaishnaw

AI is increasing the gap between high-agency folks and low-agency folks, at least in the knowledge industry. The driven folks are skilling up so fast, it's like they have discovered pure cocaine.

Second this. @MotwaniSuhas is one of the most helpful people I know. Super networked, always shows up, and never makes you feel like you owe him one.
This is a @MotwaniSuhas appreciation tweet. Some people are somehow always present to help, don't ask for anything in return, and find joy in seeing others succeed. Rare traits to have. There are countless here how have benefitted from his largesse. May his kind grow. ❤️

I had a customer wanting to build a Voice Agent. Reached out to @ElevenLabs multiple times - pinged key people on linkedin, sent inquiries through their website - absolutely no response whatsoever. Perhaps, we were too small for them to take us seriously - cc @mati @dabkowski_piotr Left a note on @SarvamAI's website - had someone reach out in next 30 mins, we signed the partner agreement in 24 hours, credits were allocated within a week and the team follows up every couple of days to ask - how things are moving and how they can help. With rapid advancements in AI, I believe that most products will be at par in the future from a capability perspective - the most successful companies of the future will be built purely on GOOD SERVICE experience for customers (and partners). Well done Sarvam - that's how you build a great first impression!

Tried Bulbul V4 Flash and getting increasingly bullish on Sarvam. The switch between languages is really good, the voice maintains its flow through the sentence, and it sounds natural. Still a lot to figure out with voice AI, but I like that they’re working on the details while making it faster and cheaper.
Today, we're introducing Bulbul V4 Flash, our latest text to speech model built for natural, expressive speech across Indian languages. Flash brings frontier-quality speech into a smaller, more efficient model, preserving the subtle details that make voices sound natural while making speech generation significantly faster. See details in our blog: links.sarvam.io/siuhmS

Agastya turns 1 today ❤️ Easily the most fulfilling 365 days for me. We are beings of extraordinary potential and it takes circumstances for us to realise it. Having a child made me realise how much love there's in each of us to give, how much patience and endurance we are capable of and how rewarding life can be.
