Abhimanyu and Anshuman, founders of Scaler School of Technology, are building something rare: a technology institution that teaches a curriculum that is updated by the week.
Here's what Abhimanyu shared: a few years ago, ~10% of a curriculum went stale each year. In the AI shift, he estimates as much as 80% has been rendered outdated. Almost no institute is rebuilding fast enough to keep up.
Scaler's edge is unusual by design. While Abhimanyu builds the institution here, Anshuman spends much of his time in San Francisco, working commercially with frontier AI labs on their hardest problems. A frontier researcher shares a problem on a Tuesday, it can shape the curriculum by Friday.
Then there's the AI Innovation Lab. Here we saw startups being built in real time: dexterous robotic hands, autonomous drone swarms for forest-fire detection, AI-driven biomanufacturing.
Students aren't just learning theory. They're building alongside founders, wrestling with the exact problems frontier companies are stuck on globally. One second-year told me it was 80% building, 20% classroom.
The pedagogy is simple: don't just learn, build. It's also the hardest thing to get right in the AI era, it demands an institution that evolves faster than the field it teaches.
What makes this founding team special is consistency.
I've known the founders for six years, and across every pivot from InterviewBit to Scaler and now embracing the AI shifts, the mission hasn't wavered: world-class education in India that produces industry-ready top talent.
Excited to share that Startup Policy Forum's 100 Desi Deep Techs cohort will be partnering with Scaler School of Technology to build on the industry-academia partnership. More on that over the next few weeks.

Launching @vorfluxai : The autopilot for software engineering. I was prev co-founder / CTO of @Rippling ($10B) and #1 coder in India. Vorflux is my high octane Ferrari.
Every AI coding tool still makes you fly the plane. That's the copilot model: you stay in the seat, approving every turn. The models quietly got good enough to fly the whole route, but the tools never caught up.
So we built the autopilot.
@vorfluxai raised a $15M seed by @ycombinator @peakxvpartners @alliancedao @parkerconrad @jake_zeller @balajis @nivi @metakovan @lmrankhan @nikitabase @0xrwu @ayushjaiswal @mattshumer_ @eshamanideep @sreeramkannan @dvcoolster @nusimow @TeddySolomon11 @ashtoncofer @rvivek etc
Drop your biggest engineering bottleneck below. I'll reply with how I'd attack it with Vorflux, and hand you $200 in free credits to bang out your backlog.

Good people dabbling into reinforcement learning and alignment in Bangalore, need your help.
The coming weekend, we're hosting 1000+ builders from across India at the campus of @Scaler_SST, who built high quality RL environments, and we're looking for mentors to guide them in the final round!
DM, if you'd like to be part of this. Cheers!

Looking for enterprise codebases in languages that are relatively rare in the Open Source World, primarily:
C#, Scala, COBOL, Sysverilog/Verilog, PHP, Kotlin, CUDA, Fortran, ABAP, OCaml, Slang.
The purpose is to teach next generation of machines and humans. Cost not a constraint for a rich repo!
X, do the magic!

I’m excited to launch today: 0xPPL 2.0 - something I’ve poured a lot of my life energy into. It’s a crypto superapp for all things onchain.
I previously co-founded Rippling.com (worth $10B+), a B2B SaaS superapp. 0xPPL is backed by top angels including, @balajis @alliancedao @peakxvpartners @anagramxyz @wagmi_vc @Decentralisedco @Joel_john @toly @rajgokal @sreeramkannan @akshaybd @sandeepnailwal @Hassan_NY @suji_yan @aniket_jindal08
Web3 is the future of the internet and the trends on these are strong, measured by growth in number of users, revenues, chains or apps. The biggest problem in crypto today is fragmentation. That the users' funds get dispersed and stuck inside these apps across diff chains. The user has to navigate so many diff websites, such as bridges and swap pages to be able to manage his funds and it’s easy to lose track of.
0xPPL is here to solve that.
We index all the blockchains and locate your assets not only inside of the chain, but also inside of smart contracts. We are a full fledged wallet where you can see and manage these funds in one place. No more thinking about gas per chain - we run a gas tank for you. To allow you to withdraw/unstake your funds from within a smart contract, we use LLMs to generate AI adaptors - thankfully crypto is open-source and easy to simulate – LLMs are getting great at interacting with these open back-ends.
Crypto is a very fast moving space and most teams here build something quick and see if it sticks. We deliberately take the opposite approach - to lay out deep engineering on the longer term future vs trying to catch the next narrative. The fragmentation of chains and apps is only going to explode. A universal front-end is both very useful and also for the first time possible due to the intersection of LLM code generation and open crypto backend rails.
0xPPL is a wallet, a portfolio tracker, a bridge, an app store, a community and so much more.

My name is Prasanna, who previously founded Rippling (worth $10B); I'm going through a divorce. I'm now on the run from the Chennai police hiding outside of Tamil Nadu. This is my story.
Anshuman Singh retweeted
Do I know any media people? The Thirumangalam, Chennai police station is harassing me for money knowing that I'm a successful founder. The AC and the SI have asked me for 25L to release my friend who has been in custody. Please RT for support. @CMOTamilnadu @PMOIndia

Incredibly excited to see the new @scaler_official campus in #Bangalore and very proud of the world class educational institution that @asxna @_anshuman26 and team are building! How far you have come since the 1st cohort of @_surgeahead! @sjs_day1 @pushpakkedia @peakxvpartners

New weekend, new #ScalerPod episode!
Had a lot of fun shooting this one with @jsensarma and also pulled in @_anshuman26 for this!
Lots of great stories from their respective times at Facebook (they both worked at Facebook on some really pivotal engineering infra around Facebook messages and data pipelines almost a decade back!)
@jsensarma has been one of the early "Cloud SaaS from India for the world" pioneers with Quoble - and we talked about how different approaches to SaaS works - consultation, open source, proprietary and how each strategy has turned out for various players in the space.
Joydeep is right now building @clearfeedai which uses GenAI to help surface information from your company's Slack server - which in turn led to a few conversations around how GenAI is transforming the digital workplace in the current times!
Out on Scaler's YouTube Channel!

Let yourself occasionally get a little screwed in exchange for not having to live with your guard up all the time. It’s worth it.

What a Joke! Singapore / London can afford to impose congestion tax because they have a brilliant public transport infra.
Shouldn't the govt rather be thinking about how to speed that up instead?

Really glad to see so many people following the concept of 4 year UG program like @Scaler_SST now. Glad because it's normalising the "skills over degree" philosophy. Glad because we are hopeful the quality of education is going to be notches above most other engineering colleges.
That being said, doing a 4 year program is a large responsibility. Plan ahead, deliver well. We wish everyone all the best and sincerely hope together we change the landscape of tech education in India. Need of the hour!
As I write this, Indian Cricket team has just lost yet another knockout/critical ICC event.
Indian team performance in semi-finals or finals of key events (Latest first):
- WTC finals - Lost to Australia by 200+ runs.
- T20 World Cup 2022 Semi Final - Lost by 10 wickets with 4 overs to spare.
- WTC finals - Lost to New Zealand by 8 wickets.
- ODI World Cup 2019 Semi Final - Lost by 18 runs, but the margin does not show that they were 24/4 chasing 240 and they were behind most of the chase.
- Champions Trophy final 2017 - Lost to Pakistan by 180 runs.
- T20 World Cup 2016 - Lost to West Indies by 7 wickets.
- ODI World Cup 2015 - Lost to Australia by 95 runs.
People can blame selections, can blame conditions. But the fact is that these were not small margins of losses and they have been very consistent for a decade now.
This is also quite the opposite of India in the 2007-2013 era where they won all key ICC trophies.
One common thing in all these championship is that the team dominated almost all other matches. And a very different India turned up in the critical matches. In some matches, batting failed in the first 10 overs and in some, the team just dropped catches, or bowled no balls when it mattered.
It begs a question. What changed in 2013? And why is it getting worse. Some of these recent key matches have been very one-sided.
Few things that have happened in the last few years:
- India plays a vast majority of bilateral series instead of multi-team tournaments. Less exposure to knockouts.
- Increased workload with an intense IPL every year.
I hope someone in the management knows the root cause and is working to fix it. Fingers crossed.
--- From one of the biggest fans of the team.

Very grateful for the support 🙏
To create a new standard for high quality techies, we just launched a 4 year physical undergraduate program - @Scaler_SST
Differentiators in the thread (#NoBlueTick) 👇
Really excited about the @ScalerSchoolofTechnology launch. I'll be helping out as a mentor/instructor.
Do check it out: acredited CS degree from BITS, course taught and advised by industry leaders on modern stacks.
- Most importantly, Chemistry and Physics not in the criteria for entrance test.
We are trying to build an institute for the industry, by the industry. We hope to set a template for formal education through this effort in our own little way.
