Shri Dharmendra Pradhan is one of the finest public servants I know. He cares deeply about the youth of this nation, and particularly about rural students. We have had many discussions on how to better skill our rural youth.
I am sad to see him resign. He has put the nation above self, and my respect for him is even greater now.
Thank you for your service Pradhan-ji, please keep fighting the good fight 🙏
Some facts: about 90% of our revenue comes from outside India, won against tough global competition.
About 2% of our revenue is from the government and when we do business with the government, we always save the taxpayer money, which we have the utmost respect for. We are also among the largest tax payers in our region.
I have never asked for a favor from the government and I never will. When asked for advice, I provide it and I do it independent of political ideology - the Kerala Startup Mission, when the Left Front government was in power, wanted my advice. I told them Keralam has the potential to be a major R&D hub of India. Since then, we have invested in numerous R&D driven statups in Keralam.
In Tamil Nadu, our Chief Minister has made a great new beginning and I am happy to support his effort. It is not because of political ideology but because I want good things to happen in Tamil Nadu.
I love our nation, and I speak my mind. I will not bow down to attacks nor threats. The attacks make us stronger and help us achieve greater success.

Say whatever you want

Abuse him all you want
But remember one thing
"MODIJI is always MODIJI"
🚨 One popular Instagram and YouTube influencer couple is in big trouble.
Allegedly took money to spread fake news under the guise of protest coverage, inciting violence.
#BREAKING: Big move by Govt inside NTA. National Testing Agency has terminated 47 officials from their service. Legal and criminal actions will also be taken against some of these officials. This is part of a complete overhaul of NTA that has been in controversy over paper leaks.
A Petition was filed in Delhi High Court to stop NIA investigating the funding behind the CJP protest.
Delhi HC firmly denied any intervention citing national security,
Now
NIA can investigate the funding and most probably many prominent NG0's name will come up.
Govt wil get a ground to make FCRA rules more stronger.
FCRA is coming.🇮🇳⚔️
Don’t know about Rang De Basanti, but let me tell you what some of us millennials actually grew up watching.
I was in primary school during the 1993 Mumbai bombings -- too young to even understand what terrorism meant. But I distinctly remember my mom repeatedly warning me not to pick up anything lying around while playing outside because, you know, it could be a bomb.
That was childhood.
Then came the seemingly endless procession of attacks: the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Red Fort in 2000, Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai bus bombings and Akshardham in 2002, three separate blasts within eight months in Mumbai in 2003, the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2007 Hyderabad bombings, and the 2008 Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts.
In July 2006, I was supposed to be on one of the trains that was bombed near Mahim. I stayed back at the office because of a meeting. A completely mundane change of plans is probably the reason I’m alive to type this instead of being a name on a list of the dead.
I remember that evening far better than I remember any stupid movie. Our office went into lockdown. Phones were jammed. People were crying and frantically trying to reach their families. Nobody knew what was happening, whether there were more bombs, or whether someone they loved was lying dead inside a mangled train compartment.
Two years later came 26/11.
I had the misfortune of watching uncensored footage of the aftermath. One clip showed bodies being piled and stacked inside a makeshift room at CST while someone wheeled in another load on a bloodied wheelbarrow, with blood dripping onto the floor. The sanitised footage shown on television didn't come remotely close to what actually happened inside that station.
So yes, us millennials lived through an era where we went to work knowing that the crime of simply boarding the wrong train, getting on the wrong bus, eating at the wrong restaurant, or standing on the wrong street at the wrong fucking moment could get you blown to pieces or riddled with bullets.
Some of us literally went to work wondering, somewhere at the back of our minds, whether this would be the commute we wouldn't come home from.
So please, spare us millennials this sanctimonious horseshit about Rang De Basanti and what some Bollywood movie supposedly should have taught us about how to vote.
Give these people the fame they asked for.
Make these abusive videos go viral so their parents and relatives are forced to confront the result of their failed parenting and zero etiquette.
Anand Ranganathan: "I want the resignation of Pradhan, as well as the education ministers of Karnataka & Punjab, over the paper leaks."
Vijeta Dahiya: "This is WHATABOUTERY"
Anand: "If three people have committed the same crime, why are you demanding that only one be punished?
Hold everyone to the same standard."
Anand Ranganathan (continuing): Just keep eating your burger and enjoy 😂
I again request the GoI. As these protests are resolved, India must:
- Ban social media for under 13
- Moderate social media for under 18
- Regulate social media companies
- Mandate a reporting tool under every post to GoI
- Setup a SM/M monitoring & response cell
- Study & research social media trends & Algo
- Take up propaganda on state media with countries
- Take up anti-Indian SM psyops with partners
- Monitor and control "finfluencers" farms
- Start units that can counter the infowar on India
And I hope India is using the current opportunity to study social media operations, organization, and algorithmic warfare of the adversaries on India.
To take the right corrective measures soon, understanding that adversaries and anti-india cabal have infiltrated SM companies with insiders.
So simple ad-hoc solutions like MPs, or even cyber armies, posting our narrative on Insta now is going to solve little, as algorithm will still suppress one side and amplify the other.

Several Pakistan Army/ISI sponsored X and Instagram handles banned in India. This should have happened immediately after Pahalgam terror attack during Operation Sindoor. Not only do they monetise through Indian audience but also provoke violence and spread misinformation.
After witnessing the disastrous upbringing of these clowns, I’m deeply grateful to my parents for instilling strong moral values and raising me with discipline 🙌
That girl in Mumbai who stood in front of the police van immediately started a 140 Rs subscription on Instagram after that, allegedly. I love this country. Protest hai ke time pass?
