Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw praises Ridit Kumawat's offline Jarvis-inspired assistant for privacy
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, founder of Biocon, gave a big shoutout to young tech enthusiast Ridit Kumawat for building his own Jarvis-inspired smart home assistant.
Unlike other devices like Google Home and Alexa, Ridit's device works completely offline, so your data stays private.
His viral Instagram video (more than 30 million views) shows the assistant handling commands like "study mode" and "good night" to control room settings.
Mazumdar-Shaw: assistant could help elderly, disabled
Shaw pointed out how Ridit's invention could really help the elderly and people with disabilities by making smart homes more accessible.
She praised his knack for solving real-life problems in creative ways.
The offline feature stands out, offering both privacy and practical benefits that most mainstream assistants miss.
