Archery world cup (For those who wants to follow)

This is current status after phase-2 completed recently in Shanghai China.

  • Stage 1: Puebla, Mexico (April 7–12) [Finished]
  • Stage 2: Shanghai, China (May 5–10) [Finished]
  • Stage 3: Antalya, Türkiye (June 9-14)
  • Stage 4: Madrid, Spain (July 7-12)
  • Grand Final: Saltillo, Mexico (September 12–13)

There're multiple events, men & women individuals, teams (3 players), mix doubles (men & women).

These gold ones are directly not for grand finals only individual ones are directly selected for finals, India only has one individual bronze medal, but two team gold medals, this performance is quiet improvement from previous seasons, hope for better.

There're no team matches in Grand Final, so only 4 winners from each stage, 3 from world ranking, 1 host country wildcards are allowed in Grand finals.

Some stats of Indian archery. India has won a total of 10 individual medals in World Cup Final history:

  • The Lone Champion: Dola Banerjee remains the only Indian archer to ever win a Gold medal at the Grand Final, achieving the feat in Dubai in 2007.
  • The Silver Streak: Deepika Kumari is India's most successful representative, having qualified for the Grand Final numerous times. She has won 5 Silver medals (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2024) and 1 Bronze medal (2018).
  • Compound Breakthroughs: Abhishek Verma won a Silver in 2015 and a Bronze in 2018 in the men's compound division. Most recently, in October 2025, Jyothi Surekha Vennam made history by becoming the first Indian woman compound archer to secure an individual Grand Final medal, claiming Bronze.

This year scenario if Sahil Jadhav continues his performance in next two seasons in turkey and Spain, he has high chances of qualification through world rankings, other possible chances as of now are Deepika Kumari and Jyothi Surekha Vennam.

It's interesting to follow this sports, as things are growing but not at the scale it should've as we already have Deepika Kumari who continuously performed individually and now there're back to back two golds in two seasons.

Most Indians don't want to contribute to Indian AI journey just they want to make it politicial when it's not, Indian govt is the only reason why Indian hope in AI & Quantum are still alive, private ventures are the real issue

SarvamAI who launched sarvam-105b (which i think most of people don't even know), is supported by government and private venture and they already have a Deepseek R1 level model and as of now they're working on a Trillion token model, also they don't just have 2 LLMs but have multiple other models, they have OCR model, Vision models, STT, TTS, a whole stack. As firstly sarvam got funding from VCs and then govt. totally supported them in this february they launched our own LLM which was praised by many experts worldwide like Sebastian Raschka(LLM Expert & Book writer).

the main issue is: Those who posts are mostly those who doesn't care about what India have or what not they basically wanted to justify their claim that India can't do anything so they start a debate which shouldn't be an ideal case, firstly you must checkout what's the core issue and what we already have and then come up with a detailed review what you think and what we should do, atleast have a power of saying what you did, and now what's you're expecting.
