Deep Saxena’s Post

First of all, it is not an Indian company. He studied higher education in the US, founded a company in the US as a start-up, raised VC money in the US, flourished in the US start-up ecosystem and now, when he is successful, how did it become an Indian start-up? Do you also post the same for all the start-ups that were founded outside India by Indians and that failed? Do we claim their Indian roots?

I don't think perplexity is an Indian company. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am proud of this Chennai Boy who offered to buy Google - Best and honest tool Commet and Preplexity - I use it - see the gaps which Google had - More productive and dependable. All Power to him and his future endevours.

Impressive milestone though but it raises an interesting question. Aravind Srinivas He has never expressed a desire to live or build in India in fact, he was previously seen advocating for permanent residency abroad and elon muk was trying to advocate the same too, yet his success is being celebrated as an “Indian” achievement Let’s be honest if he would have been building Perplexity in India, he probably wouldn’t be a billionaire today. It highlights how India is still seen more as a massive market than a nurturing ground for innovation. Time we reflect on how to change that narrative to make India a place where global-scale products can truly be built, grown, and scaled. Team Narendra Modi whats your take on this ????

Being indian by origin does not means you are contributing to growth of India. I am happy for him or any tech geek on their success but his company is US based not headquartered in India

real pride isn’t in proximity to power, but in contributing to India’s progress & economy

They didn't make a foundational model, instead just fine tuned existing models for two billion dollars. I respect deepseek a ton more that them.

Congratulations

Excellent
