CoinDCX Co-Founder Sumit Gupta Offers Support To Namaste Buddy, An AI Platform Helping Children Learn Conversational English

Indore: CoinDCX co-founder Sumit Gupta extended his support to Namaste Buddy, an early-stage startup leveraging AI to assist children in rural regions practice conversational English. The encounter commenced on the social media platform X, where Gupta stumbled upon a post about Namaste Buddy and its objective of rendering spoken-English practice more accessible to children beyond India's major cities.

The concept resonated deeply with Gupta's personal experiences growing up in smaller towns of Madhya Pradesh. He communicated this sentiment publicly, highlighting the problem Namaste Buddy aims to address as "quite personal" to him. Subsequently, he asked his team to connect with the founders and explore potential ways he could contribute.

This led to a one-hour discussion where they deliberated on the startup's journey, the problem it tackles, the market opportunity in Tier 2 and Tier 3 India, and the future trajectory. The mission of Namaste Buddy to aid children in mastering conversational English resonated deeply with Gupta. Raised across various small towns and villages in Madhya Pradesh, including Rahi, Jabalpur, Khandwa, and Shivpuri, Gupta shared that had he had access to a similar platform during his upbringing, it would have made a significant difference.

"For children in smaller towns, learning English is often just the beginning," explained Nikhil Singh, co-founder of Namaste Buddy. "They also require the confidence to actually employ it, and that confidence is cultivated through practice, which is precisely what Namaste Buddy seeks to facilitate." The meeting with Gupta offered the Namaste Buddy founders an opportunity to glean insights from Gupta's entrepreneurial journey and gain valuable perspective as they navigate the company's growth.

  • Memory bandwidth, not VRAM size, determines LLM speed
  • Token generation requires reading all model weights from memory
  • RTX 3090's 936 GB/s bandwidth generates ~90 tokens/second
