Huge congratulations to the @SpaceX team on a historic IPO debut.

Fueling the next frontier of space and AI. 🌌

NVIDIA's partnership with SpaceX spans nearly a decade, from hand-delivering the world's first #NVIDIADGX-1 supercomputer in 2016 to the custom DGX Spark handoff at Starbase. Together, we've been pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing to help power the future of space exploration.

Pleased to share that #IRDAI has acted on consumer demand via @LocalCircles late last week and demanded that all insurance platforms operating in India remove dark patterns to comply to #CCPA guidelines and submit compliance report within 15 days! @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare

“We can’t stand in queues like the general public,” say our elected representatives. Yet it is that very public that stands in line to vote them into power, pays for the system they enjoy, and is now being told that equality ends where privilege begins. Sad is this justice! Do you agree with me?

NO FITNESS = NO FLYING, NO PAY !

Air India rolls out a strict cabin crew fitness policy effective from May 1, linking BMI compliance to flying eligibility, non-compliance could result in loss of pay

BMI of 18–24.9 is the desired range; underweight crew can fly only if they clear medical and functional assessments

Crew with BMI of 30+ will fall under obese category and will be immediately derostered and placed on loss of pay until they meet norms

Failure to clear assessments in under/overweight categories can also lead to derostering and loss of pay

Please lodge this as a formal complaint against the ground staff on behaviour.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

@airindia: pathetic attitude of ground staff (boarding gate 41A) in BOM airport flight AI-2771

Took my bag when I specifically mentioned I have to hurry in my next stop, was carrying just one bag plus hand bag.

Absolutely pathetic.

PS- flight crew was nice enough to apologise.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

The ground staff said I ‘don’t care’ if you are silver, gold, platinum, or premium economy - I will not allow.

PS- was on premium economy, gold and clearly stressed at the time as I was running late for my event in Kolkata.

Wow!

Dear @SEBI_India

Please end this KYC hell. I own a handful of PSU bonds, paid for from my already KYCed bank account. Interest has been received in the same account all these years. My PAN, using which I have paid taxes for 30 years, is registered with them and when making the investment.

How many times do we have to prove who we are? Just look at how much paperwork this involves. Also, why should I hand some RTA a copy of my bank statement?

Stop this madness, please.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

The new customisations by @StarbucksIndia finally solves for my needs-

Grande
Frappuccino
Blonde roast
No base
Sugar free caramel
Less ice
Skimmed milk
Chocolate protein powder
Without whipped cream

And with that you get low calorie, high protein, light roast, cold coffee.

#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra | EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "Different people absorb information differently. Most of you will use this (points to a phone), some of you will use this (points to a book)... But take an interest in the world. It's as simple as that... My message to everybody is very simple. Take an interest in the world, because the world is taking an interest in you... I tell people, "When they say,' What should we do?', do anything so long as you're interested. If you're interested, you'll do well. If you're not interested, it doesn't matter what they pay you; you'll be average. So, stay with the interest..."

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

@airindia - you should incentivise people
to cancel their bookings free of cost so that you can sell them at much higher prices.

Will help create supply in this market.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

@OfficialDMRC- Why don't you try and run 10 coaches in Yellow, Blue Line. Initial coach and final coach will be out of platform and doors for the same wont open.

One can use next coach's gate for entry/exit. Passengers can be suggested to use these coaches only for long distance

[Deepak Shenoy @deepakshenoy]

What an awesome current account surplus in q4. Charts coming soon. We have really upped the ante in services and remittances played a good role. a move to make more for India will anyhow cut merchandise deficit in the coming years.

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action.

India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

I so much wish this is true. The South Asian Sub Continent needs peace and growth.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

Request you to kindly report on this key issue on weekends also. Even a 15 minute special bulletin works.

PS: Seems like I’m watching MacKenzie McHale’s newsroom. #AaronSorkin

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

@ShereenBhan - The reporting by CNBC TV18 as part of your flagship show, India Business Hour on India - Pakistan conflict is the highest quality of reporting on this critical national issue. Clean facts, responsibly reported without any hyperbole / sensationalisation.

[Lakshay Goel @LakshayTalks]

@CMODelhi @cmohry @CMOfficeUP - please figure out multiple bus routes between NCR. 40K e/CNG buses in next 5 years is truly a big hairy audacious goal to take.

All are now BJP states- best time for cooperative federalism to kick in.

@PMOIndia should ideally facilitate this.
