National Call to Action: Teen Launches Vision 2025 to Transform Accessibility for the Visually Impaired using AI
Bangalore, June 30, 2025: India's Accessibility Conversation Just Changed: Vision 2025 marked an important milestone in the pursuit of inclusive technology for the visually impaired. Conceived and led by 17-year-old innovator Ashwat Prasanna, the Bangalore-based summit brought together technologists, NGO leaders, educators, and disability advocates to confront a systemic gap: how can India empower millions of visually impaired children with tools that are affordable, scalable, and tailored for local context. Uniting a powerful cross-section of voices—ranging from blind education pioneers and national award winners to GenAI experts and nonprofit leaders working on the frontlines of disability inclusion, Vision 2025 witnessed key participants such as Ms. Madhu Singhal, founder of Mitra Jyothi and a veteran in disability rights; Dr. Rajdeep Manwani, a nationally awarded academic and motivational speaker who lost his sight at a young age; Shekhar Naik, Padma Shri awardee & former captain of India's blind cricket team; Mr. Arun Panayappan, Google Cloud's AI lead, who is leading efforts to bring next generation Gen AI for cloud and workspaces and leaders of various NGOs working with visually impaired children. Vision 2025 became a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and impact. The summit directly addressed the challenges of deploying assistive technology in India: language accessibility, integration with existing NGO programs, infrastructure gaps in rural schools, and the need for hyper-localized solutions. Rather than a conventional tech showcase, Ashwat, the brain & heart behind this event, designed a lineup that purposefully blended technical expertise with lived experience—ensuring that innovation stayed grounded in empathy, equity, and practical execution. It also fostered deeper dialogue among stakeholders and catalyzed action. A highlight of the event was the landmark launch of Ashwat's invention: the 'Eyesight' smart glasses. It marked the launch of Eyesight—an AI-powered smart-glass attachment developed by Ashwat Prasanna, a student at The International School Bangalore to support independent navigation and real-time scene understanding for visually impaired users. A year in development and co-designed with blind students in Karnataka, the device is currently in advanced prototype stage and is being field tested with real users. Eyesight retrofits onto standard eyewear, transforming it into an intelligent assistant capable of: ● Describing the visual environment in multiple languages using LLMs ● Reading text and explaining concepts described (e.g. textbooks) ● Providing haptic navigation guidance ● Identifying gestures, currency, and faces ● Issuing emergency alerts and proximity warnings ● Supporting Hindi, Kannada, Tamil & English ● Functioning affordably in low-resource school environments The solution drew strong interest from accessibility experts and school partners for its potential to solve everyday mobility, safety, and learning barriers—especially in underserved communities. Eyesight also received a $3,000 grant from the International Baccalaureate (IBO), recognizing its promise and real-world impact.

To Sam Altman's "Poaching" OpenAI Talent Charge, Meta CTO's "Dishonest" Reply
Meta has hit back at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for alleging that the Mark Zuckerberg-led company is offering $100 million compensation packages to poach AI researchers. During an all-hands company meeting last week, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth debunked Mr Altman's claim that Meta was paying "$100 million signing bonuses" and "more than that" in compensation to recruit OpenAI workers on its AI superintelligence team, according to The Verge. "Sam is just being dishonest here," Mr Bosworth, 43, claimed during the meeting. "He implies we are doing this action for everyone. You see, the market is booming. It's not really hot." Mr Altman recently expressed his happiness that none of OpenAI's "best people" decided to join Meta. During an appearance on the Uncapped podcast last week, Mr Altman further stoked controversy, claiming Meta "started making giant offers to a lot of people on our team." "You know, like $100 million signing bonuses, more than that (in) compensation per year," he claimed. Three leading OpenAI researchers - Xiaohua Zhai, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Lucas Beyer - each denied receiving a $100 million bonus for joining Meta, claiming it was "fake news" on X (formerly Twitter). hey all, couple quick notes: 1) yes, we will be joining Meta. 2) no, we did not get 100M sign-on, that's fake news. Excited about what's ahead though, will share more in due time! cc @__kolesnikov__ and @XiaohuaZhai. — Lucas Beyer (bl16) (@giffmana) June 26, 2025 "Sam is known to exaggerate, and I know exactly why he is doing it, which is because we are succeeding at getting talent from OpenAI," Mr Bosworth said. The ChatGPT creator is engaged in a fierce battle with Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to create cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Mark Zuckerberg, 41, has recently intensified his efforts to develop superintelligence-AI that is more intelligent than humans in terms of knowledge, memory, and reasoning. The company reportedly invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI and established a new AI lab aimed at obtaining "superintelligence." Meta has acquired the services of former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, the CEO of Safe Superintelligence, a $32 billion AI business. Trapit Bansal, a key AI researcher who has worked with OpenAI since 2022 and helped develop the company's initial AI reasoning model, reportedly departed the company for Meta on Thursday, according to TechCrunch.

Eggoz raises $20 million funding to expand branded egg business
Representative Image (AI-generated) BENGALURU: Branded egg producer Eggoz has raised $20 million in a Series C round led by Gaja Capital, with participation from existing investors including IvyCap Ventures, Rebright Partners, Avaana Capital, Nabventures, Merisis Opportunities Fund, Arvind Thakur, S Ramadorai, Artek Chemicals and Blue Dot Capital. The company, founded in 2017 by IIT Kharagpur alumni Abhishek Negi, Aditya Singh and Uttam Kumar, said the funding will be used to strengthen its market presence, expand to new cities, and invest in supply chain and technology infrastructure. Eggoz operates a tech-enabled, asset-light model integrating directly with farmers to ensure traceability and food safety across its supply chain. The company reported a 76% year-on-year growth in revenue, with net cash revenue reaching Rs 130 crore in FY25, up from Rs 74 crore in FY24. It achieved peak brand annual recurring revenue of Rs 200 crore and broke even on Ebitda in Q4 FY25. The Gurugram-based company's branded eggs are currently available in 11 major Indian cities, including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai, and are sold via e-commerce and quick commerce platforms. According to the company, more than 95% of eggs sold in India remain unbranded and lack basic hygiene checks. Eggoz aims to address this gap by offering eggs that undergo over 11 safety checks and are produced using herbal hen feed. It has also introduced a line of egg-based snacks, including momos and burger patties, catering to urban demand for high-protein, ready-to-cook food. 'Over 140 billion eggs are produced annually in India, yet quality remains inconsistent,' said Abhishek Negi, co-founder and CEO. 'We're building a trusted, scalable brand in a largely unorganised market while improving farmer incomes and consumer access to clean protein.' Gopal Jain, managing director at Gaja Capital, said Eggoz is 'well-positioned to lead the next wave of growth in India's food and nutrition sector' through its vertically integrated model and category-first branding.
