80 years ago, we won the freedom to determine our own future.
Today, we build it. 🇮🇳
India’s machines. India’s intelligence. Built for the world.
Happy Independence Day.

Honoured to present our robot dog PARAM to the Hon’ble PM of India Shri @narendramodi, in the presence of @PiyushGoyal, at the #NationalStartupDay2026 Deep Tech showcase by @DPIITGoI @startupindia.
PM’s advice to our founder @frdahsan: take care of PARAM in Delhi winters!
मन तो वहीँ था Sir परन्तु आज समय की कमी के कारन डालना पड़ गया video
देश पे सवाल उठे तोह advt बनाने का इंतज़ार नहीं कर सकते 🇮🇳
Tough to quantify time as we took a lot of learnings from our humanoid to build this but the project has been on for about 7 months now and we continue to improve it every fortnight.
Enough of this nonsense!
Presenting PARAM: India's most powerful indigenous robot dog. Not assembled, not bought, BUILT IN INDIA, built by INDIANS. For our nation, for our century, for our world!
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

It's Tuesday folks! Here's what's going on in Indian tech:
1. @temple is coming soon
2. @GeneralAutonomy's robot dog is loose in HSR Layout
3. @hiro_sugimoto_ wrote an excellent Tigerfeathers piece on the inevitability of Meesho
And the week is just getting started 😎
We are working tirelessly to introduce redundancy on the various visual input methods for locomotion. In one or max two more months, we will showcase extreme autonomy performance.
