Posted by A frugal innovation way for distinctive outcomes like ISRO moment
I wanted to share what Vaayu has been doing for building Artificial General Intelligence. Of late, Deepseek alone has inspired more entrepreneurs & investors than Infosys & L&T did in last 20 years. While Vaayu started working on it since 2022.
Why to build Artificial General Intelligence?
Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) promises abundance, wealth & prosperity for everyone. We have been inviting collabs with Indian Universities, AI Researchers, Investors since 2022. We have done lots of ground work already. Read on to find how you can participate & build on top of it
This can possibly be the biggest unlock of wealth in entire modern history of humans.
Is AGI even thinkable from India?
But the road is very rocky. Building AGI isn’t a joke. India hasn’t yet settled the debate that whether LLMs be built in India. My take is simple – LLM is a lost race. AGI is yet to be built. Consider it as someone is building a car engine(AGI) & we focus on building small part of it like wheels specialized for rocky roads(AGI for finance).
That’s what we have been building since 2022.
What progress we made then with just a pre-seed funding?
When built MVP using Multi AI Agents & AI reasoning in 2022.(Some elements of AGI) – This was time when even chatGPT wasn’t much possible. So, when we presented at Citi Bank in 2023, we presented “chatGPT of Finance” as analogy. Product was similar to AI CFO. Remember OpenAI launched AI PHD for $20k a month.
Vaayu – our startup – launched AI Disha/AI Tori – AI CFO Assistant on Jan’ 30, 2025. This was among world’s firsts to be powered by Deepseek. Ahead of Salesforce, Yotta, SAP & Microsoft Copilots
We presented at CitiBank circa – June’ 23. When we floated this topic in 2022 – eople couldn’t relate to it. But after chatGTP – we explained “It’s chatGPT of Finance“
Extraordinary outcomes need the paths less taken.
Most Investors, even product leaders – think one use case at a time. That’s good. But that doesn’t lead to extraordinary outcomes. The entire theme of AI, LLMs, AGI is towards General purpose models.
We presented a model, that will not only disrupt the different verticals of banks, but it will completely replace & pave for new way. If anyone has worked on population or continent scale systems – they know what I mean.
Application layer on the other hand are simple SaaS products, which will anyway face tough competition, will be low margins with AI. They will be routed. While building bigger impact is very very defensible.
The general purpose model & AGI can be thought of scaling to 1B or plus people at population scale. Your simplistic SaaS model can’t.
A general purpose foundational model which can not even disrupt – but thought in completely different way for all BFSI functions
AI CFO – What this could do?
We built first sample product in 2022 starting with Supply Chain Finance. AI CXO could increase corporate, OEM or Bank’s net profit by 2-4% a year. Our patent application in 2022 had Multi AI Agents, AI Reasoning & some more advanced features similar to Deepseek
Towards AGI, Among world’s firsts – AI Employee with Deepseek from Vaayu
In Jan 2025, we became among world’s firsts to launch AI Employee with Deepseek. Before Salesforce Agentforce, SAP/MSFT Co-Pilot, Yotta, Krutrim, OpenAI AI PhD. Just shortly after we launched Deepseek powered AI Financial Analyst who could be equivalent to $30-$40k salary.
But there’s lot to come yet. Road Ahead – To create Deepseek moment with AGI in most frugal budgets
We have spoken to AI Researchers – best in India, C-Suite executive, Technologist, Regulators. The topic is so intriguing that the best minds want to work on it. We even spoke to certain AI Researchers in silicon valley, they are also excited.
Some people want playbooks that they need to follow. Best minds write their own playbooks. That’s what excites them.
What I mean is – that some people want to look at US or Silicon Valley – Deepseek, OpenAI & try to mimic them. AGI building needs to stretch your thought, technology & work to most original ways. That’s what excites the best minds. We have understood this very very deeply as we at Vaayu too build it that.
Spoke to India’s best personally & sent proposals to – Sh. Rajeev Chandrashekhar, Bank CEOs, Top AI Researchers & Ultra High net worth Individuals. Deepseek is very much doable from India
Vaayu has planted a sapling & done lots of groundwork for Artificial General Intelligence. We propose a consortium to grow a stem
Biggest problem India faces is – we haven’t seen large scale innovation eco-system for more than 200 years. That’s why our minds collectively are not trained to challenge & innovate.
Innovation is like a tree sapling. You can’t expect it to give you tree earlier than nurturing it. Vaayu has put a sapling. This tree is conducive for Indian conditions to build AGI like ISRO.
Sapling will grow stem. If you wish to be part of building, please reach out.
Reach out to develop the sapling to a tree. Create Deepseek like moment from India. Road to Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) in frugal budgets
There are rarely any moments in lifetime where someone can even try to be world’s number 1 or country’s number 1 or City’s or Sector’s number 1. This has potential for impact on millions, unprecedented wealth.
Of course, the road isn’t easy, but neither is greatness.
