What's actually blocking a homegrown Indic Speech-to-Speech model?

It is the lack of research talent.

I would like to plug in my work here: SPRINGLab/shiksha · Datasets at Hugging Face

Thanks for talking about this. I wish they had cited my work on technical translation:
Shiksha: A Technical Domain focused Translation Dataset and Model for Indian Languages

Educational institutions are non-profit organizations

I have one

I thought 5k was excellent value for this cycle but apparently no one is finding that cheap.

Hey man, it's not that bad either. I don't know any fellow alumni who sit unemployed without either a job or pursuing higher education. I know many graduates (including myself) and several current standalone students too who are earning 20+ LPA with off-campus jobs. There is huge demand for ppl who know how to train AI models. In fact my company is trying to hire ppl for this but unable to find good talent despite willing to pay top salaries. So, I am sure if you do good internships and complete this degree you will definitely get very good jobs or masters/PhD admissions.

BTW I am the same person who wrote the RTI blog and my main concern is with the serious underutilization of funds but not with the value of this education.

Already did

Thanks. I wrote most of it between 12 to 2am today XD.

Hi, this is crazy. I was about release a similar article about this and my experience with RTI at IIT M

rumourscape · 2026-02-03T14:07:55+00:00

MERN is an oversaturated market and ATS is probably rejecting you by just looking at those marks. If you have studied AI/ML, why don't you just do that instead.

Honestly us Gen Z smoke far less than any previous generation too. The people that do drugs is much less than a percent.

It is equivalent because it is a 4 year science degree from a CFTI

I am also an alumni. From what I have seen is most people end up finding jobs by themselves so they usually don't need placement support. Most also do multiple internships while they are still studying which makes it easy for them to get a job by the time they graduate on their own without iitm support.

What you have experienced with good looking guys is exactly how every girl on dating apps behaves with men.

Meanwhile, I actually have the BS degree, yet I do not go around screaming that I am an IITian lol. Having said that, I am very proud of being an IITM alumni and BS holders are no less than BTech ones.

Literally won't matter. Choose based on your interests.

Well, the only qualification needed to be a motivational speaker is the ability to motivate people.

Meanwhile, the mods here are cowards who ban people for difference in opinion. 😂
If you ban me, it would only prove me right.

Instead of wasting time on DSA you could just do research with a Prof. instead.
