Spotlight on DeepSeek | ChannelDrive.in
In an age defined by unprecedented digital connectivity and super-charged digital highways – Artificial Intelligence or AI stands right at the helm of business transformation whether it is an enterprise or cloud communications provider or even a telco.
Driving innovation in a completely new direction – DeepSeek is fast emerging as a great alternative to ChatGPT and unique enabler that leverages advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics to revolutionize how enterprises manage, process, and utilize telecommunications infrastructure and data in a cost effective manner.
DeepSeek represents the next phase of intelligent solutions and can provide enterprise with the ability to navigate vast volumes of information, uncover actionable insights, and optimize networks with unprecedented precision. Its integration within business systems can drive completely new levels of efficiencies, enhance customer experiences, and enable robust decision-making in an increasingly complex business landscape.
Understanding DeepSeek
At its core, deep seek technology is an advanced data-mining and pattern-recognition system designed to identify, analyze, and interpret information at unparalleled depth and speed. By leveraging machine learning (ML), AI, and real-time analytics, deep seek tools excel at:
Pattern Recognition: Identifying trends and anomalies in telecom data, such as usage spikes, latency patterns, or network vulnerabilities.
Predictive Analysis: Forecasting potential issues, network demands, or customer behaviors based on historical data.
Resource Optimization: Suggesting strategies to optimize bandwidth, reduce costs, and improve overall network efficiency.
Investor Community and DeepSeek
Bhaskar Majumdar, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures, comments, “I strongly believe that India should see AI as a “solution” rather than software. India is jumping on to AI mission with massive Nvidia GPU purchase plans. Indian solution makers are also thinking of AI as building it on top of NVIDIA cloud accelerators.
The Deepseek moment is a reminder that accepting the status quo is a wrong strategy. All of us will witness significantly power efficient, high performance, solution centric chips in the next few years that will shake the likes of NVIDIA. Anticipation of this disruption will benefit India and its solutions community. This was the logic of us investing in Netrasemi as the company believes in this disruption and betting on this change.”
Narendra Bhandari, General Partner, Seafund, says, “DeepSeek and some of the other newer models have demonstrated a fantastic opportunity for India. Indian startups can aspire to build relevant models at much lower costs. The government should focus on a few areas:
1. Fund the capital build out as laid out in the budgets to much higher returns in the new environment.
2. Attract Talent (Indian Diaspora) from across the globe to help build out these newer models.
It has been demonstrated that smaller teams can build this quickly.
3. Balance the research funding to include universities, Research labs and Fund of Funds. Focus on DeepTech investors to drive and manage the innovation pace.
Govt and Investors continue to focus on Design capabilities (ex. DLI) and expand funding significantly. Accelerate the adoption of Indian designs by large computing installations and. We believe this is the right time to focus on the India opportunity in building AI models because DeepSeek has shown that innovation can be done at a much lower cost”
Bruce Keith, CO-FOunder & CEO, InvestorAi, comments, “DeepSeek R1 has definitely challenged the dominance of a few players in the models and data ecosystem – OpenAI, Google and Meta will feel it the most. R1 will have a significant impact in the AI landscape. The announcement drives home the importance of innovation and focusing on the applications and data rather than just the processing power. This genuinely democratises AI and gives countries who don’t have the existing infrastructure a huge leap forward to experiment and be part of the frontier.
The fact that they created this platform with under $6 million investments has shaken the tech CEOS globally highlighting that game changing innovations don’t necessarily need billion dollar investments.
However, from a supply/demand perspective the GPU market which Nvidia dominates is still far away from hitting peak demand”
The Road Ahead
DeepSeek holds great potential and can transform business landscape by providing powerful tools for network optimization, customer engagement, data analysis, and cybersecurity.
Its ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real time and in a cost-effective manner can better empower organizations to make informed decisions, enhance performance, adapt to a rapidly changing environment and most importantly move towards a growth trajectory.
