AI Camp, Palanpur (May 1-3, 2025)

First of its kind in Gujarat.

3-day, day-night immersive AI camp in Palanpur.
550 students registered. Selected 105 via phone interviews (most had zero AI exposure).
Locked 100 talented students under one roof for 3 days. Total AI-AGI immersion.
Program: 55 hours of technical sessions covering Intelligence, Brain, Learning, Neural Nets, Training, Agents, AGI. Plus 6 hours of expert interactions.
Hackathon (Day 3): 30 teams built their first-ever AI projects. Themes: Agriculture, Health, Education, Social Impact, Productivity.
Pranav Mistry supported throughout and sponsored a special hack.
What made it unique: We conducted everything in Gujarati. Most tech events default to English. We broke that convention. People understood deeply because we spoke their language.

Went for NVIDIA AI Summit, Computex, and Jensen Huang's keynote.
Visited Dahu Lake. Got lost in Maokong Mountains at night (not planned, but became the best part).

Selected for China's biggest hackathon: AdventureX, Hangzhou.

Me and Khetesh Akoliya. Lived for 5 days among 300-400 of China's cream talent. Surreal in every sense.
Unitree HQ: We rushed there unannounced. Persisted heavily. They let us in. Saw their humanoid robot up close. Still thinking about it.
Suzhou (especially Tongli): Most beautiful experience of the trip. Old-world charm meets new-world energy.
What China taught me: Disappear and Build. Thinking in Scale.
I have wrote one detailed blog about this trip here.
