Murali Krishnan shared thiswow! longitudinal data on emergent talent and migrations. thanks Deedy Das Wonder what is causing the slowdowns in recent migrations of talent. COVID? or growing opportunities?Murali Krishnan shared thisThe International Olympiads in math (IMO), chem (IChO), physics (IPhO) and bio (IBO) for 2026 just ended. The 7 usual suspects were at the top. China (19/19 golds), India, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Russia and the US. India specifically had one of its best performances of all time: 12 golds, 7 silvers. I analyzed all the past winners from these top countries since 2001 to figure out where they ended up: is brain drain really a thing? Here's what I found: – India has the most brain drain with only 28% staying in the country from 2001-2015 participants. It does seem the number is creeping up over time. – China is #2, although it's highly likely this number is inflated because of name collisions. I'm not sure I fully trust it, and some of these are really hard to tell. – Korea, Singapore, Vietnam are quite high too. For the first two, the number of people staying in their home country seems to rise at a faster rate. Vietnam is flat. – The fewest people seem to leave Russia of the lot, but the ones that do prefer Europe to the US. The crazy thing is really that more winners from these countries live in the US than all 6 home countries combined. While not without faults, that's the insane advantage of US high-skilled immigration. Source: https://lnkd.in/gt_pE6XJ Data: https://lnkd.in/gy5hmUMe

Murali Krishnan shared thisLearning from one’s experiences is powerful. Graham Weaver uses personal experience to bring simple lessons. It is easy to understand yet will take sustained efforts to put it into action. No one said pulling the nails out is easy. Nor is it easy to let go of the critic to embrace healthy self love. Done well these can serve one one to gain new perspectives in work and life. Let the innner voice speak. Yet also give attention to another silent second voice. #learning #fearless #self https://lnkd.in/g_3puR48Last Lecture Series: “How to Win Without Crushing Your Soul” - Graham WeaverLast Lecture Series: “How to Win Without Crushing Your Soul” - Graham Weaver

Murali Krishnan reposted thisMurali Krishnan reposted thisAn 88-year-old man just exposed one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. “We need more power to create change.” No, we don’t. For nearly 30 years, after retiring as an IPS officer, Inderjit Singh Sidhu woke up every morning and cleaned Chandigarh’s streets with his own hands. Think about that. Thousands walked past the garbage. Hundreds complained about it. Many blamed the system. One man picked up a broom. No authority. No budget. No team. No publicity. Just action. This week, India honoured him with the Padma Shri. But here’s the part that stayed with me: The award came after three decades of service. Three decades. In an age obsessed with instant results, overnight success, and viral moments, a man spent 30 years solving the same problem every single day. Without knowing if anyone was watching. Most people want recognition before contribution. He chose contribution without expecting recognition. And that’s why recognition eventually found him. Read that again. The world doesn’t change because of people who have the strongest opinions. It changes because of people who take responsibility for things that aren’t even their responsibility. Imagine if more of us adopted this mindset: “Why doesn’t someone fix this?” became “Why can’t I start?” Because every transformation begins when one person decides that complaining is no longer enough. An 88-year-old man with a broom just delivered a masterclass in leadership, ownership, and impact. The question is: What problem in your workplace, community, or life are you still waiting for someone else to solve? #Leadership #Ownership #Responsibility #PadmaShri #LeadershipLessons #Inspiration #SocialImpact #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #ChangeMakers #Legacy #PublicService #India #SuccessPrinciples

Murali Krishnan shared thisTough job market calls for steady unwavering engagement. What tips are working well for graduates?Murali Krishnan shared thisWe have 100s of recent CEG alumni graduating with an MS in the US. Many are navigating visa constraints like OPT/H1B while hunting for their first US role. Some possess heavy-hitting experience in India post-BE coupled with world-class US degrees. Still, breaking in is tough. The US BLS indicated 172,000 new starts in May 2026. Yet beneath the headline numbers, EPI data shows young college graduates face a much weaker labor market, with unemployment hitting 5.3% as hiring slows down. But remember: finding jobs has always been a steep climb. I graduated in the early 90s when most companies did not hire. I received help from my college alumni (both CEG and UW-Madison). It took a few days, but slowly interview calls and later on offers came by. We thrived through the 90s post-Gulf War freeze and the 2000s dot-com bust. யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்—wherever we go, we are family. 🌍 Our recent CEGAANA AI panel shared these field-tested tips: 🛠️ Contribute to open-source (for software professionals) ✍️ Write and share project breakdowns online 🤝 Seek internal alumni referrals What is working well for you in this market?

Murali Krishnan shared this☀️ Chennai summers are hot—and so is AI! 🤖 We are incredibly excited to officially launch the Summer Internship Program at Vaidharma AI Lab (VAIL)! Thinking back 30+ years to my own 2nd-year college summer at CEG, I spent my days in the computing center. I was fixing old PCs, tinkering in UNIX terminals, and writing C programs. Also I got projects from my mentors (thanks Jeyakesavan Veerasamy, PhD) and the Ramanujan Computing Center (RCC). The hands-on experience was life-changing. Now, it’s time to share and help! 🤝 Today's 2nd and 3rd-year students are hungry for real-world experience, and VAIL is stepping up to provide it locally. Here is our step-by-step game plan for the summer: 🏕️ Phase 1: Basecamp We start with the essentials. Students will learn core tech tools, practice writing documentation, form teams, and sharpen their presentation skills. 🚀 Phase 2: The Projects Next, teams will dive into a growing pile of real-world challenges to build, test, and learn: - The Practical: Running self-hosted LLMs and building AI tutors. 💻 - The Aspirational: Designing the tech to land a person on the moon on a tight budget! 🌕 We are also proud to partner with Thisai, a local company that will help our students dive deeper and discover their true potential. 🌱 💡 Want to get involved? It takes a village to raise the next generation of tech leaders. We welcome your ideas, advice, and mentorship. Send me a direct message if you'd like to help shape the future! 📩 cc: Sundar V.

Murali Krishnan shared thisSoma's loss is huge for Seattle Tech and Indian community. Many of us are still digesting the sudden loss of S. Somasegar. I knew him during the Windows NT days in the 90s. He was very mindful of quality and community engagement. It was a pleasure for me to know that one of my college seniors was leading charge on several important products at Microsoft. When I started working in the startup world over the past decade, I got to know more about Soma. He was a kind and smiling person - always willing to listen. I have had many discussions about the twists and turns in my startup journey. On several occasions he opened doors and connected me with others. He had great insights on the evolving technology trends and early stage startup investing. He was always responsive and willing to give a few minutes of time when needed. Thank you Soma. He had equally invested well in the South Indian community - for social events, movies, cricket, etc. His loss is huge for his family. He is also a loss for College of Engineering, Guindy. I always looked up to him as an alumnus having achieved great heights in Seattle area. May his soul rest in peace. If anything, this loss further reminds us how short life is. Giving time and support is paramount for building a stronger community and society. I pray for his soul to rest well. And wish his family to regain the strength from this loss. #CEG CEGAANA #Microsoft Madrona #startups #seattle https://lnkd.in/g7mF9pFx

Murali Krishnan reposted thisMurali Krishnan reposted thisAt 90 years old, one truth has become impossible for me to ignore: The world existed long before you were born. And it will continue long after you are gone. The oceans will still move. Children will still laugh. Birds will still sing at sunrise. People will still fall in love. And somewhere, someone will still worry about things that will not matter 20 years later. When I was younger, I thought the world depended on my stress. My deadlines. My reputation. My achievements. My fears. My opinions. Old age quietly humbles you. You begin to realize that most things you lost sleep over were temporary noise. The company survives without you. The meetings continue without you. The world adjusts faster than your ego ever imagined. And strangely, this realization is not depressing. It is freeing. Because once you understand that you are only a small part of a very large universe, you stop carrying life like a burden. You start appreciating it like a gift. You become kinder. Softer. Less obsessed with proving yourself. You stop trying to control everything. At my age, I no longer believe the purpose of life is to become important. I believe the purpose is much simpler: To experience life deeply while you are here. To reduce suffering where you can. To love people honestly. To leave behind warmth instead of wounds. One day, every one of us will become a photograph in someone’s drawer and a memory in someone’s mind. So before that day comes, sit with your parents a little longer. Take the vacation. Watch the sunset. Forgive people. Protect your peace. The world will keep moving either way. The real question is: Did you truly live while you were here?

Murali Krishnan shared thisA(G)I: Are we there yet? Some work remains. What started as a casual conversation led to a bunch of us playing with a simple question. ---- A new car wash opened at 250 feet away. I need to wash my car. How should I go? Drive or walk or run ---- We each tried on a fresh browser session (incognito mode) to see what answers come back. Good news: answers came back screamingly fast. Even better, one of the service even used the Map service to pin me down and suggest local car washes. when we read the answers, it was a different story. the default go to recommendation was: **Walk** wait, did we not ask for washing the car? fast crunching perhaps leaves a few bits of info and insights behind still. We tried a few variants of the prompts - varying (shorter) distance, traffic, no pedestrians, etc. Most times the recommendation was to walk. Oh to add humor, "I'm late" means suggestion came back "Run!" Love to know what answers are you getting. What variations / prompt did you try. Bonus: What may be going wrong with these responses? #AI #AGI #Inference #Walk #Run #Drive #CarWash #Prompts #Engineering

Murali Krishnan liked thisMurali Krishnan liked thisIt is Friday! And a perfect day for posting this gratitude note. Six months ago, I announced the newsletter Thriving as a Human in the Age of AI after running a survey to understand the pressing concerns everyone is experiencing with the advent of AI. The top three concerns in the survey were expressed as: loss of human judgment or creativity, ethical Use of AI, and job availability in the future. I decided to focus on these topics in the newsletter. Since then, the newsletter has addressed many topics under this umbrella, in collaboration with the groups of people I am honored to call my friends. The 14th edition was published this past Wednesday. So, first let me thank all my collaborators: 2: Eli Potter: Practical AI, Purposeful Leadership - Thriving as Human in Age of AI 3. Edward Dixon: Building in the Age of AI and a Parent’s Guide to AI in Primary Education 4. Bruce Rosenstein: From Drucker’s Timeless Principles to the AI-Shaped Workplace 5. Radha Basu: Inclusive AI Begins with Education: Reflections and Practical Steps for Educators 6. Murali Krishnan: Leadership, Innovation, and Winning in Today’s Job Market 7. Karl Waldman: Architecture Over Algorithms and The Discipline of Thinking 8. Mark C. Crowley: Rebuilding Connections: The Missing Link in Workplace Wellbeing Today 9. Keerthi Raghavendra: On Long Walks and Agreeable Machines 10. Shobana Radhakrishnan: Human Agency, Startup Agility: A Guide to Leading and Adapting in the Age of AI 11. Kalpana Sundar: Breaking the Cognitive Submission Habit: Cultivating meaning in the age of AI 12. Peter Boatwright: Educating the Thinkers: Human Judgment in the Age of AI 13. A J Balasubramanian "AJB": A Better Future with AI: A Call for Appropriate AI and Empathy 14. Hemant Julka: Disrupt Your Own Inventions: Thriving in the Age of Abundant Intelligence You all made my life, and the audience's, rich with your insights. Thank you! 🙏 A newsletter exists because the readers actively engage with it. There is so much information served up every day, and those of you who read, liked, reacted, commented, and gave this newsletter some of your precious attention. I am very grateful! 🙏 And to all the subscribers - close to 2990 - thank you for subscribing. Many of you have told me offline that you read it. Much gratitude! 🙏 The link to the newsletter is in the comments. If you haven't come across the newsletter, please check it out and subscribe if you think it is worthwhile. Finally, these days, I spend a considerable amount of time photographing flowers in my garden (also dabbling in gardening!) and in my neighborhood. So the image for this post is my pride and joy, from my garden. A red rose that says, "All You Need is Love." 🌹

Murali Krishnan liked thisMurali Krishnan liked thisToday we come out of stealth. I founded Bluecore Energy HQ to democratize access to clean energy. My team and I took nuclear reactor technology that's been powering plants safely for 70 years, scaled it down, and put it on a barge. A power plant that floats. In less than six months, we've secured a port terminal, a barge, a test pressure vessel, our nuclear reactor is under construction — and we've built a world-class team of nuclear, rocket, maritime, and automotive leaders. All based in the largest port in America. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to democratize access to zero-emission maritime nuclear energy. When a coastline goes dark, or a port runs short, or disaster hits — the power won't take a decade to arrive. It will arrive in days. Over 3 billion people live within an hour of water. We want to power them all. None of this is possible without the investors, team members and partners who believed in me from the start. Special thank you to the first team members who joined me - Kwadwo A., Megan Moyette, Andrew Phillips, Jonathan Kyle, Ph.D. and William Zimmer. We raised $10 million in an oversubscribed round led by Slauson & Co., with participation from Harlem Capital, Precursor Ventures, LMNT Ventures, Chris Larsen and Michael Brune, Visible Hands, Karman Ventures, Capital Factory, Share Ventures, X&, Markham Valley Ventures, HartBeat Ventures, and — alongside angels Ryan Williams, Leandre Johns, Will Drewery, Sahin Boydas, Grant Newman, Kiswana Browne, Travis Mason, Wyatt Smith, Siddharth Sridharan, David Sesi, Greg Matter, David Ross, Demarco Duran, Jason Chow, Joshua Steinman 🇺🇸, Tony Asante and Zan Asante.
