@udaykotak Sir, I’m optimistic about Indian entrepreneurs. However Sir, I understand that you likely have multiple CAs and accountants to manage basic tasks. For us, resetting my https://t.co/YaOfd1oeaZ password is incredibly frustrating. No babu is using those sites. Hence they don’t care.
Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.
NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).
Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.
The official websites of MCA, IT, etc., are created by some school kids. I have reported a number of times, but no one listens. The thing is that the officers don’t have to use these websites, and hence they don’t know the frustrations of a user. A simple thing like reviving an old account on MCA takes a lot of sweat. Even a password reset is a project.
Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
Anthropic has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pending completion of SEC review, this gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering.

Researchers from IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru have solved a chemistry puzzle that remained unanswered for over 70 years.
As reported in The Indian Express, the team led by Prof. Sundargopal Ghosh and Stutee Mohapatra from the Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras, along with Prof. Eluvathingal Jemmis from IISc Bengaluru, has synthesised a carbon-free molecule that mimics the iconic ‘sandwich’ structure of ferrocene.
Using osmium and boron-based rings instead of carbon, the breakthrough marks the first stable carbon-free version of the molecule — something scientists worldwide had long attempted to achieve.
Published in the prestigious journal Science (https://t.co/zqkL1CSqz6), the discovery could open new pathways for designing advanced materials with unique chemical and structural properties.

US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social today promising to defend America's title as the "Crypto Capital of the World." It made me reflect. Sharing some thoughts:
The fact that the US is ahead in this space is not a coincidence; it is the result of deliberate policy. By providing regulatory clarity, such as approving spot Bitcoin ETFs, the US unlocked unprecedented institutional participation, amassing ~$100 billion in total net assets. Giants like BlackRock and Fidelity moved decisively. That is the sheer power of policy conviction meeting institutional readiness.
India should be paying close attention. I am incredibly bullish on our future in this fintech revolution because our fundamentals are unmatched:
a) #1 in Retail Adoption: We have topped the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index for three consecutive years in terms of grassroots crypto adoption.
b) Unmatched Talent: We are currently #2 globally and on track to become the world’s largest Web3 developer hub by 2028.
c) Robust Infrastructure: Our UPI-backed digital public infrastructure is the envy of global fintech.
Our business houses and family offices have the capital and appetite to participate at scale. But, exactly like US institutions pre-ETF, they are hoping for a definitive signal from the government and regulatory bodies.
The US has shown what happens when a government backs an emerging asset class with intent. We need that same conviction here: local support, clear regulation, tax parity with equities, and a structured framework.
Now is our time to seize the momentum. With friendlier policies, India won't just compete, it will lead. Just as the IT industry once did, crypto too can become a defining contributor to India's economy!
Best Health Care in 2026. Interesting to note that Ecuador has USD 509 per capita healthcare spending, yet it is at rank 6 in the healthcare index.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
I remember it took around 1 and a half months to complete the whole process. So many iterations. A few things can be improved at Zerodha's end as well. I had to send duplicate documents for NRO and NRE accounts. Once all the documents were verified, I sent physical copies. Then Zerodha staff insisted that I didn't send some of the documents. Which I am sure had been sent. Things like these...
Also, breathing through the right nostril can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen consumption. It essentially "revs" the engine, which can lead to a slight increase in metabolic heat. Breathing through the left nostril has been shown to lower blood pressure and have a calming effect on the cardiovascular system, which correlates with the traditional "cooling" effect. The right is Surya, and the left is Chandra.
