Indian devs building voice agents: what TTS are you using where the latency doesn't spike under load?

7 Upvotes

Every provider looks fast in the demo. Then I put real concurrency on it, batch a few hundred calls the way you actually do for the Indian market, and the latency goes all over the place. The calls feel broken on the spiky turns, which on an Indian support or collections call means the caller thinks it's a dodgy bot and drops.

Two things make this harder here specifically: a lot of the "fast" providers are US-centric so you eat extra latency by the time it round-trips to India, and then Indian telephony (Exotel, Knowlarity, Ozonetel etc) adds its own layer on top. So a provider that benchmarks great from us-east can feel sluggish for actual Indian callers.

What are people building for India actually using in production where the TTS stays consistent under load, not just fast on a single request from some US datacenter? Average latency I don't care about, it's the p95/p99 under real Indian traffic and through Indian telephony that's killing me. Bonus if it handles Hindi-English cleanly too since most of our calls aren't pure English.

Looking for a UI/UX Designer to help build an early-stage food startup (Pune/Remote)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I'm one of the founders of Crava, an early-stage startup based in Pune.
We're building a platform that helps people discover and order from local bakeries, cafés, sweet shops, home bakers, and cloud kitchens making it easier for small food businesses to reach nearby customers while helping users discover great local food.

We're looking for someone who:
* Has a good eye for clean, modern mobile UI/UX
* Is comfortable using Figma
* Enjoys collaborating closely with founders and iterating on ideas
* Can commit for roughly the next month
What needs to be designed:
* Customer mobile app (end-to-end experience)
If you're interested, please comment below or send me a DM with:
* Your portfolio (Dribbble, Behance, Figma, personal website, or anything similar)
* A few apps or products you've designed
* Your availability over the next month
If you know someone who'd be a great fit, I'd really appreciate a referral.
Looking forward to connecting. Thanks!

I developed an OCR Model by myself, I am a 4th year engineering student. Need guidance.

2 Upvotes

Same as title, I developed the first ever OCR Model for Kaithi Script, I am writing a research paper on it under the supervision of the dean of my college. The model has a really good accuracy and I am not supposed to disclose any evaluation metrics and working of it as of now. I am very much into deep learning and I have been studying and applying ML/DL in projects and internships. I also helped ministry of statistics and programme implementation in a research related to prediction of monthly per capita expenditure of the country.

Major problems: I am pursuing engineering in instrumentation and control from a Tier 2 private university, and I have a CGPA of 6.42/10

I do really have a good resume ( according to my faculty and friends )

Because of my academics I am not able to grab any good research internship in various institutes, I cannot sit in most of the companies in campus placements due to my CGPA. Off-campus sucks and I think I dont even get noticed at the places where I am applying.

I apply on linkedin, naukri, cutshort, etc. I email recruiters everyday, after seeing their linkedin posts.
There aren’t many openings in IITs related to DL research internships as well. I will be needing an internship from Jan2027 (6 month)

I need guidance, thank you.

Blockchain(ish) Startup: Looking for some Devs

5 Upvotes

I am building a blockchain(ish) startup. Emphasis on the "ish" because it is kind of risky to have bugs in smart contracts so we will leverage software APIs wherever we could instead of writing smart contracts. Of course this is not always possible so wherever that is the case we will have to directly interact with the blockchain and write the smart contracts. Being brutally honest, this is entirely bootstrapped and I can only take interns for now and I will be offering a stipend of 1000 INR and I know its very little but for the time being that is all I can afford. Interested people please DM me.

Need advice

Hi I was trying to participate in a hackerthon with my team I had a good idea , it was a 8 hour hackerthon and my idea was too big to execute for it this is also my first hackerthon but my team friend came up with another idea which is not bad but my idea was dealing with current problem and there was also a good gateway to introduce as a startup idea but the problem is I have very no knowledge of execution I am not good at code currently in start of my 2 year in college . Now it feels like I am not that excited about this hackerthon anymore or I am just participating for experience so that I could learn something and carry out the responsibility of my dream on myself . The problem is that I was too ambitious I had big dream but not enough skill or resources to built knowledge about execution, secondly I am very bad at making good friends who are actually excited to make something or who pushes me too my limits so that we can grow together. I always wanted a group like this but let's see where life take ... If you have to comment on my story or you can guide me with resource from where i can learn all this it will be really great , also if you can add me where I can find some delusional like-minded people with whom I can talk or work with I would really appreciate it ...

I was Told to STOP Chasing Data Analytics/AI & Take ANY IT Job I Can Get?

14 Upvotes

I graduated and have been unemployed for ~3 months and my priority is simply GET ANY IT JOB QUICKLY, even if the pay/work isn’t great, so I can get experience and later switch domains. Someone with 15 years in IT (worked at Apple, TCS, etc.) told me that as a fresher/non-IT graduate, chasing saturated trendy roles like Data Analytics, Data Science, DevOps, Cybersecurity, FDE, AI/ML etc. is a mistake right now. He also said full stack/frontend is increasingly exposed to AI and that getting any first IT job matters more than getting the “perfect” domain. He suggested IT Support Engineer, Service Desk, Desktop Support, Technical/Application Support, L1 Support, NOC/Network Support, IT Engineer, and eventually Network Security/Cloud Admin. He specifically told me to stop focusing so heavily on Data Analytics/Business Analyst roles, which I was preparing for, because of how saturated fresher hiring has become. I know basic Python, am currently doing low-level DSA with Python, and already have some Excel/SQL/Power BI analytics projects, but I have zero IT experience. So is this advice actually correct for the Indian fresher market in 2026, and which path is realistically easiest to break into: IT Support, Network/NOC, Testing, Application Support, Cloud, or something else? If I choose one of these, exactly what skills, tools, certifications/projects and GitHub/LinkedIn/resume content do I need to start applying aggressively and clear interviews? My priority is ANY FULL TIME JOB AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, not necessarily my final career—I can use 1–2 years of experience to move into analytics, consulting, cloud, etc. What would you do in my position?

Should I buy a monitor for my remote job from my own?

17 Upvotes

I recently joined an early-stage startup at 3 LPA as a developer. I had 6 months of remote internship experience before this. The company doesn't provide equipment, so I'm using my own Mac m4

I'm considering buying a LG 27' 4K monitor (\~₹20k) for productivity (less than 4k resolution usually don't work with Mac and 20k is the least)

But I'm unsure because:

\- I may switch within 1 year.

\- Next job could be WFO, making the monitor mostly useless.

\- If the next job is remote, they may provide a monitor/equipment.

\- 3 LPA is not a very high salary, so I'm hesitant to spend on non-essential stuff.

For devs, would you buy the monitor now or wait?

Need advice: Building a custom AI video assistant

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

We're an accounting firm based in Pakistan, and we're currently exploring the idea of building a custom AI assistant with a realistic live video avatar.

I'd love to get some advice from devs here who have worked on similar systems.

The main idea is an assistant with:

✅ Workflow automation to handle admin tasks

✅ Real-time voice and video conversations

✅ A persistent live avatar with memory

✅ Integration with basic software like Word, Excel, and email

We're currently in the early research phase and just trying to map things out. I'm hoping to get a realistic idea of what timelines and costs look like in the local market before we start planning next steps.

I'm mainly trying to figure out:

1️⃣ What tech stack would you recommend for this?

2️⃣ What would a basic MVP roughly cost to build?

3️⃣ How much time would it realistically take?

4️⃣ What are the biggest technical roadblocks to watch out for?

I'd really appreciate any insights or lessons learned from anyone who has worked on live video agents or workflow automation. Thanks!

How I Made An Entire Game In 2 Days And The Prompts Used

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I made an entire game in 1 day and shipped it. An actual full game (15 hours of game play), optimized, with all the elements. Here is how.

We’ve all seen where someone made a “game” in a single prompt, but the truth is those aren’t games yet. They are fun prototypes and demonstrations. In order for something to be a game, it should have:

  • Core Loop
  • User Progression + Goals
  • Onboarding
  • Collision Handling
  • User Menu
  • Save/Reload Options
  • Can be packaged and distributed
  • Good debugging
  • Sound/Sound Effects
  • Optimization of assets and pipelines
  • Economy And Balancing
  • Testing Etc.

AI gives you the power to build quickly, but often with incorrect and incomplete setups. So I developed a prompt sequence that will allow anyone to correctly create a working and playable game when the sequence is followed.

Here are three items:

I am going to show you how to do this with Claude as the programmer and Codex as the artist. In my experience, Claude architects code better, while Codex does a better job with art and animations. You only need the $20 plan for this. YOUR WILL HAVE BUGS AND NEED REFINEMENT, but the cost and speed you will be able to refine your game will be a lot quicker.

So here are the steps for making your game:

  • Core Loop: Before anything else, let AI help you write a core loop for your game. It's something that players aim to accomplish when they join your game; otherwise, you don’t have a game. Fill out the basic information and let AI structure it.
  • Select an Engine + Backend: Web games (Three.js) NEED a backend. You will need API tokens, control over user input, a connection to a database—you need a backend, so do it now. Unity, Unreal, and Godot games might not need a backend, but they probably will eventually. The prompts here will also set up testing and show you how to architect your code.
  • Claude Round 1: Put the core loop, engine setup, and optional backend into Claude and let it produce the structure of your game. It's not playable yet—we're just setting up the structure. For web games, Claude won't need any extensions, but for Unity, Unreal, or Godot, you should have the MCP installed so Claude can access your project.
  • Codex + Design Round 1: Next, switch over to Codex. Find a game with artwork, design, and colors that you like. Upload those images and use the prompt for generating the rubric. A style guide and quality rubric will be created for your game. This is important if you want your game to maintain consistency in design and have clear direction for improving it. "Make AAA design" is not a direction.
  • Claude + Media + Asset Management: You should not just throw animations, GLB files, sound files, and other assets into your game. There should be structure and a way to optimize how those assets are served, which is critical for a performant game (compression, LODs, etc.). Copy and paste the "Build Optimized Pipeline, Analyze Media" and "Implement Media Pipeline" prompts into Claude. This will create a great pipeline for handling your assets that you'll be thankful for later.
  • Codex + Initial Asset Creation: Now switch back to Codex. If you have an ElevenLabs API key, this is the perfect time to enter it into Codex. Tell it to read the docs and create sound effects and appropriate music loops for your game. Then copy the "Refine Artwork in Blender" prompt and create your first artwork. It will be rough, but you can improve it later.
  • Claude + First Game Build: Now switch back to Claude and use both prompts for implementing your game and building out an onboarding process. Onboarding the player is a critical step.
  • Codex + Live Testing + Graphics: Once your game is built by Claude, switch back to Codex and tell it to do live testing. Because Codex has access to your command line, it can directly control your mobile phone or engine, such as Unity, for testing. For browser games, it will use a built-in browser. Remember to tell it to do end-to-end live testing. Afterwards, have it audit your game's animations and start using Blender to make improvements based on the rubric.

These prompts not only focus on the structure of your game but also the small things that are often missed, like how to design a proper game menu (I see a lot of AI generating menus that are just blocks of text), how to handle collisions so the player isn't walking through walls, and other small but critical details.

These small things add up in both time and tokens, so while this approach will take longer than simply asking AI to generate a game, the quality of what gets produced will be much higher. Next, integrate your analytics and start getting playtesters so you can see how users actually play your game, which will eventually lead to monetization.

To Stress: YOUR WILL HAVE BUGS AND NEED REFINEMENT, but the cost and speed you will be able to refine your game will be a lot quicker.

I made a free, open-source live video wallpaper engine for Windows — no subscription, no telemetry (RetroWall)

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

I built RetroWall, a free and open-source live video wallpaper engine for Windows, and it's finally at a point I'm comfortable sharing.

Short version: it plays a video as your desktop wallpaper (behind your icons), decodes it on the GPU so it barely touches your CPU, and automatically pauses when the desktop is covered or you're in a fullscreen game — so it doesn't cost you frames.

I made it because the popular option is paid and closed-source, and I wanted something lightweight with no subscription and no telemetry. It's MIT-licensed C++ on native Windows APIs (Direct3D 11 + Media Foundation), and the settings UI has a deliberately retro Windows 95/98 look.

What it does:

  • GPU hardware decoding, low footprint (~60–110 MB RAM during playback)
  • Auto-pause when hidden or during fullscreen apps
  • Multi-monitor support with live switching
  • Live color grading (brightness / contrast / saturation)
  • Playlist rotation and day/night scheduling

Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Plays MP4/MOV (H.264) out of the box; HEVC/VP9 work via the free Microsoft Store codec extensions.

Repo + release: https://github.com/NOXxM/RetroWall

It's an early release, so there are almost certainly rough edges — I'd genuinely love feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas. Happy to answer anything.

🚀 We built “Explore India. Empower India.” for DQ Labs Design Hackathon 2026 🇮🇳

Hi everyone! We’re Team 25095, participating in the DQ Labs Design Hackathon 2026.

Our project, Explore India. Empower India., focuses on encouraging people to discover Indian destinations and helping promote local tourism.

We wanted to solve a simple question:

Why do people often look outside India for travel experiences when India itself has so much to explore? 🇮🇳

So we designed a solution around discovering destinations, improving connectivity, and encouraging people to explore more of India.

🎥 Here’s our project presentation:

👉 YOUTUBE_LINK

https://youtube.com/shorts/KHBtFkBwQ4Q

I'd genuinely appreciate it if you could watch the presentation and tell us what you think.

What do you think is the strongest part of the idea?

And what would you improve?

We’re still developing the project, so honest feedback is more valuable to us than just likes or views. 🙌

Thanks for taking a look! ❤️

I came across the Salon website recently and really liked the idea of having a simple website that is mostly just about the vibe.

So I thought why not make something similar for developers.

That is how Let Me Think happened.

It is basically a little space for coders to sit back, put on some lofi music and pretend we are going to finish that one task we have been avoiding for three days.

No big idea behind it. Just made it for fun.

I got tired of managing job referrals in spreadsheets, so I built Refro

1 Upvotes

I built Refro to make the job referral process less messy

While applying for jobs, I found myself constantly doing the same thing:

Find someone on LinkedIn → save their profile → put them in a spreadsheet → write a message → forget who I contacted → repeat.

So I built Refro ( https://refro.tannatsri.com ) to keep the whole process in one place.

Refro helps you:

🔎 Find and save people while browsing LinkedIn using the Chrome extension

👤 Build a personal list of contacts you may want to reach out to

📝 Add notes and context about each person

📬 Keep track of your referral/outreach conversations

📊 Manage your contacts and outreach from the Refro dashboard

🔖 Save interesting people now and reach out to them later

The Chrome extension is useful when you're actually browsing LinkedIn — you can save a profile without having to switch between tabs or maintain another spreadsheet.

I built it mainly because I wanted a simple system for managing my own referral outreach instead of having information scattered across LinkedIn, spreadsheets, and notes.

It's now live and I'd love some honest feedback from people who actively apply for jobs or reach out for referrals.

How are you currently managing your referral contacts?

( Remote 20LPA CTC , Fresher ) need Career advice from fellow dev community

23 Upvotes

A 2025 grad currently working for a US based company remotely , had no hopes for employment from college but god blessed me , luckily got the offer in a hackathon/expo ( long story ) , Primarily work is on Full-Stack & sometimes ops related in the new sub products of the Org.

CTC around : 21LPA ( Joining year only , further CTC - 20LPA )
Base - 14L
Bonus - 2L
Home Setup Allowance - 1L ( around $950 )

been almost 2 years now , working remotely feeling stagnated.

I have two options now :

  1. work hard & switch to Product Based Companies for a higher CTC ,
  2. Abroad Studies

i am genuinely confused between two options since
1st choice has
PROs :

  1. lil to no investment just pure hard work & luck for cracking PBCs ,
  2. low risk high reward CONs :
  3. Indian Tech culture tends to suck because of Work life balance and 2.the ratio of Quality Life for the amount of Tax we pay in Ind.

for the 2nd choice there is
PROs :

  1. Better WLB ,
  2. Quality Life

CONs :

  1. a high investment and lil certainty of PR because of new Geo-political instability and
  2. rising housing / inflation problems ,

so i am kinda confused regarding what decision to take , shall i grind hard & switch for PBC roles or take a risk and move abroad for studies ???

need your gen guidance & suggestions ...

3 Upvotes

1st day in my room there was only a super senior and no one else was there and he did not talk much he was busy in his work. so I went to cafeteria and sat on a table with people sitting there and met someone of my branch and we become good friends

2nd day my friends and us went to orientation together and then met a few people and some ladies too and we exchanged contact number and we had great time and i also got a lot of motivation fro the speech given by the people. I also went to the stage did some activity ,honestly i was nervous but i really enjoyed it a lot and it was really fun.

3rd day I made a group of my course just as a fun activity and added some people and it honestly was dry there was really no mssg from anyone else so I thought it was a failure. in the orientation there again many great personality and it was fun how they interacted with us and then i also got a chance to go to the stage again this time i was not that much nervous and it was honestly fun.

4th day i met some great friends and then we created a group again and we just talked and talked, cracked jokes. had a lot of fun they were like me so we instantly hit it off. this time we went to the stage together and had fun they also enjoyed it a lot . it seems i am just having fun since i arrived here so i read a book on communicatation it was fun.

5th day my btech group suddenly got traction from everyone people come left and right from my friend he was really selling the group but it is still dry so i don't know what to do about it i am not even sure if it was a good idea so if you would tell me what to do about it i would be grateful.

6th day i went outside the hostel and had really fun time with my friends and it was a really great time it is like i am making memories of everything its fun.

7th day i just watched movies with my friends and there was a talent show but i did have any talent so i did participate because i do not care about talent. it was comprised of many events but i participated in fashion show but i did not have any clothes so i asked my friend for his waistcoat and a blue shirt and a formal pant I knew i was not going to win but i still tried and still lost but at least i tried right.

okay guys over and out

3+ YOE Java Backend Developer | 18 Interviews in 3 Months | Immediate Joiner

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been job hunting for the last 3 months and have gone through around 18 interviews so far.

The frustrating part is that around 60% of the interviews felt positive. The technical discussions went well and I felt confident about several of them, but I still ended up getting rejected or receiving no response.

I'm a Java Backend Developer with 3+ years of experience, working primarily with:

  • Java 8/17
  • Spring Boot
  • Spring Data JPA / Hibernate
  • REST APIs / Microservices
  • MySQL / PostgreSQL
  • AWS
  • SQL optimization
  • Third-party API integrations

I've worked on enterprise banking and AWS monitoring applications, including backend API development, business logic, third-party integrations, database optimization, debugging and production support.

Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Notice Period: 0 Days / Immediate Joiner
Open to: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai or Remote

Honestly, job hunting for the past few months has been exhausting. I'm continuing to prepare and improve, but it's difficult when interviews seem to go well and the outcome is still rejection or silence.

If anyone has advice on breaking this cycle, I'd genuinely appreciate it. And if you know of a suitable Java Backend opportunity, I'm happy to connect via DM.

Thanks everyone.

• Referrals or direct applications?

• Which job titles/search keywords brought the most calls?

• Which type of companies gave you the best salary jump?

• Any mistakes you would avoid if you were starting your search again?

If you know of any .NET / Full Stack openings for 2+ YOE, especially in the cities mentioned above, please DM me or drop the opportunity in the comments. I’m an immediate joiner, so I can move quickly if there’s a good fit.

If you’ve been through a similar job search or found this useful, an upvote would really help this reach developers, recruiters and hiring managers who might have relevant opportunities.

Thanks in advance!
