My latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress looks at The “Pasni Paradox”: Pakistan’s offer of a port to the US right near the China-run Gwadar, the fulcrum of a relationship that’s vital to the state’s survival, risks eroding trust on both sides
I want to say a lot but the timing of this video is enough to expose your ulterior motives to defame Isha & Sadhguru before the Mahashivratri event. I have lived in ashram for years & it is the safest place for girls and women like me. Millions of volunteers will vouch for this.
Over the years, #Mahashivratri has become a global festival transcending barriers of race, religion and geography, as more and more human beings are beginning to seek a more profound experience of Life beyond the physical senses. To those willing and available to the Grace of Shiva, this Night can accelerate the journey to light up from within. –Sg
A company that has $1 billion cash, which is about 1.5 times its annual revenue, and is actually still growing at a decent 20% rate and making a cash profit, laying off 12-13% of its workforce should not expect any loyalty from its employees ever. And to add insult to injury, when it can afford $400 million in a stock buy back.
I can understand the unfortunate reality of layoffs when a business is struggling or declining and making a loss. This is not that situation, this is naked greed, nothing less.
Here is a critical question to its leadership: don't you have the vision and imagination to invest $400 million in another line of business where you can deploy those people you hired but you don't want anymore? Are there no such opportunities in tech? Are you so lacking in curiosity, vision and imagination? Are you so lacking in empathy?
This behavior, sadly, has become all too common in the US corporate world and we are importing it in India. It has only resulted in large scale employee cynicism in the US and we are importing that too.
This is why choose to remain private. We put our customers and employees first. Shareholders should come last.
You decide: am I a socialist to focus on the most important asset of any company - their own people and their well being?
Take Nvidia and AMD. Ultimately they triumphed due to their engineers and crucially the engineers that stayed long term to work on deep tech. Their CEOs are from Taiwan.
Now Taiwan itself has built incredible deep tech companies like TSMC, following a similar approach to talent - and Taiwan has about the same population as Sri Lanka.
That is how real capital building works: take care of your employees, your most valuable asset and build long term successful companies.
Intel took care of Wall Street instead, and they have lost comprehensively to TSMC, AMD and Nvidia. And now they have lost Wall Street as well.
It is a perversion of the English language that we think of the late stage hedge fund and PE driven financialism as "capitalism".
Capitalism needs capitalists - people who own and risk their own capital. What we have today in America is "we bet other people's money and if we win we keep a lot of the gains and if we lose we run to the Fed to bail us out and we cheer on the Fed to keep asset valuations high so we can cash out our financial instruments - never ever let the stock market down and whatever happens CEOs should be paid 500x average employee wages!"
Does that sound like capitalism to you? That is the system the US has practised for decades now. Even more of it is going to drive the country to a civil war.
Take the bailout of Silicon Valley bank last year. A lot of tech entrepreneurs cheered that on. They suddenly forgot "capitalism".
Should India import this system? Refusing to do that is "socialism"?
So please don't lecture me on "socialism". Practise some real capitalism first - take care of your people well.
That is also our Dharma 🙏
Kenya’s ‘Trees for the future’ (TREES) is recognized as one of the best examples of large-scale and long-term ecosystem restoration in any country or region, embodying the 10 Restoration Principles of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
TREES is now aiming at restoring 229,000 ha of drylands by 2030, an area almost 30 times the size of Senegal’s capital, Dakar. This is expected to create almost a 250,000 jobs, and capture and store 79.5 MMT of CO2 over 20 years – the equivalent of what a coal-fired plant would burn in that period.

150 police officers search Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation after Madras High Court’s order on two sisters staying there | India News - The Indian Express. Total excessive use of judicial authority. This is not justice. Shocking https://t.co/EtKOj7THsf
I’ve been following Sadhguru for 7 years, visited his ashram, and done his programs. Never has he encouraged being a hermit or socialite—it’s a personal choice. Even marriage rituals happen at his ashram. HC judges shouldn't make ignorant statements.
I have been to Isha yoga centre multiple times, also stayed there. From my personal experience I can say that #Sadhguru neither ecourages one to be heemitess nor a housholder. It is our wish to chose our individual path.
I have seen many married couples volunteering at the Isha Yoga Centre on a full time and part time basis. Even a number of marriages are conducted there on a daily basis.
One is not offered monkhood easily there...

To all the Misinformation cabals before you start your false narratives
Here is a simple clip out of many where Sadhguru says about the importance of Modern medicine, in a conversation with Dr.Prathap Reddy of Apollo.
Isha itself runs many modern medicine facilities and clinics.
So peddling the narrative of he preferred ayurveda over modern medicine wont work.
This "Dravidian Stock Doctor" spreading lies and portraying that #Sadhguru is against #Allopathy. Here is what Sadhguru says about Modern medicine, in a conversation with #apollo Dr.Prathap Reddy. Well, Isha itself is running many rural & mobile allopathy clinics. Stock = LIE!
