At the 3rd Edition of the Women’s Conference on Safety and Security 2026, Bharat1.ai led a critical conversation on placing humanity at the heart of AI safety, protecting people, preserving dignity and strengthening trust as cyber threats evolve in the age of AI. @BlrCityPolice In the esteemed presence of Shri Seemant Kumar Singh, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru City, Dr. M.A. Saleem, IPS, Director General and Inspector General of Police, Karnataka, Dr. Jija Madhavan Harisingh, former Director General of Police, Karnataka, Dr. Pronab Mohanty, IPS, Director General of Police, CID, Special Units and Economic Offences, Karnataka, and Shri Raghavendra Auradker, Administrative Member, Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal and former DGP, Karnataka, the conference connected institutional responsibility with technological possibility. As an organizing partner, Bharat1.ai bridged policing priorities and deeptech through three tracks: Fireside: Beyond the Algorithm: Building Trustworthy AI Technologies in the Age of Digital Fraud Mr. Karthik Bappanad, Cybersecurity Consultant, and Mr. Swapneel Patnekar, CEO and Chief Security Researcher, Shreshta IT Technologies, joined moderator Ms. Mamatha Venkatesh, CMO, Bharat1.ai and former Vice President and Head of Startup India to explore defence-in-depth, enforced permissions, controlled data and tool access, human oversight, machine accountability and research sandboxes for advancing frontier research in AI Safety. Cyber Mini Hackathon The hackathon showcased technology solutions to combat digital arrest scams, enable deepfake takedowns, verify callers, counter cyberstalking and support privacy-first sextortion reporting, bringing innovators together to protect women’s safety, identity and dignity online. Participants now join Bharat1.ai’s three-month AI Cybersecurity Lab, Kavach to build and pilot their solutions. Next Gen Deeptech Innovation Showcase Community safety means recognising risks early, reaching people when help matters most and protecting dignity throughout. The showcase explored how digital twins can help design smarter societies and plan future infrastructure requirements, smart wearables that can support SOS and timely assistance, edge technologies that can process sensitive data locally for the department, and UAVs and multi modal robots that can extend emergency response capabilities. Together, these technologies offer a path towards more responsive public safety systems, with privacy, human oversight and community needs, guiding their deployment. Every woman deserves to participate in the digital world with confidence. Building that trust is a responsibility we share.

Meet IRONA - Dexterous Flying Humanoid Robot on @nvidiaomniverse @NVIDIARobotics I've been fascinated by Robots from a very early age, but probably the first robot I could connect with in my childhood was Irona, Richie Rich's Personal Assistant Humanoid. Irona is a highly generalized humanoid that could nail household tasks, but also use its multimodal navigation skills to beat up crooks and save Richie. I have anyways been building drones for a while now, but wondered what if I could own a flying dexterous humanoid ? I got some great reasons lined up to position this as a real product. 1. Homes : Unorganized, messy and robots stumble 2. Wires : They tangle up and messy all the time 3. Extra DoF 4. Water, Oil (Robots Skid) 5. Kids would love these 6. Future Space Explorations Many years later, I now imagine IRONA in the digital twin of our World on NVIDIA Omniverse! Teasing v0 of IRONA : 3 ft / 15 kg humanoid in Isaac Sim 5.1 · native USD physics, 62 joints · 7-DOF bimanual arms, two 16-joint five-finger hands · quasi-static bipedal gait, 70 s verified · thrust-vectored hover on four gimballed jets with geometric SO(3) control and constrained LS allocation · simulated @RealSenseai D455 RGB-D + 32-channel 360°×30° RTX lidar · full ROS 2 Humble bridge with RViz · closed-loop vision-driven grasp using no ground-truth pose · optional GR00T N1.5 zero-shot grasping · STEP CAD + printable exterior kit. All figured out by @OpenAI GPT6-Astra in 16 hours!!! The best part : I have decided to completely Open Source the project for the Community to go crazy with this robot! Github Repo : lnkd.in/gZKXqmvB PS : The project was to challenge myself as to what can be really built quickly using the GPT Astra as a complete noob in Humanoid design, it still trips many a time but learning day by day for sure!

We have heard many a time that India needs more gritty entrepreneurs who hold, rather than sell. All the blame goes to the founders, but when you zoom out, you will realize it is a complex ecosystem play that needs to work in tandem and in the favor of our founders. Here is a beautiful piece detailing each component of that ecosystem and how startups can leverage the benefits from the ecosystem, written by Mamatha Venkatesh, who has accelerated India's Startup Growth Journey through her earlier initiatives at Startup India! If you are a startup, and want to overdrive and stand independently as a unicorn, let's speak! Comment what you have been building and what ecosystem support you would exactly need to get there ⬇️ Blog : linkedin.com/pulse/sold-befo…?

CERN built a 27-kilometer ring to collide particles because theoretical physics reached the point where mathematics alone couldn't validate reality. Physical AI is facing that exact same inflection point today. We have reached the limit of scaling intelligence purely on internet text and video pixels. If we want Foundation Models to interact with the physical world, navigating our streets, operating machinery, and co-existing with humans, we cannot treat safety as an afterthought or rely entirely on narrow synthetic benchmarks. That is why we are building the CERN for AI at Bharat1.ai A 70-acre globally accessible physical-digital living testbed and city-scale simulator designed to capture the physics of reality in high definition. Every physical interaction leaves a causal trail. By bridging raw physical interaction with real-to-sim determinism, we are building the empirical foundation for safe human-robot coexistence across visual-spatial physics, multimodal sensor fusion, and multi-agent causality. To envision this embodied agentic future, we have operationalized a 500,000 sq.ft AI Superpark right here in Bengaluru. If you are a pioneer, researcher, startup, or learners pushing the boundaries of real-world AI, join us today to access the shared infrastructure and compute to build this future.
