Excited to take on the role of President of the OpenPOWER Foundation, representing Silver Members on the Board of Directors. This is a significant step in advancing open-source hardware, AI acceleration, and high-performance computing. My focus will be on driving open collaboration for AI and HPC on the POWER architecture, strengthening global partnerships with tech leaders and academia, building India’s deep-tech talent pipeline, and expanding OpenPOWER’s role in datacenters, edge computing, and AI infrastructure. With IBM’s Power ISA, OpenCAPI, and Microwatt, we now have a fully open, scalable platform for next-generation AI and HPC innovations. Grateful to IBM leadership, OpenPOWER members, and my team at Object Automation for their support, and looking forward to shaping the future of open-source hardware together.
