Climate change, electric mobility, energy transition - tweets are personal. Also, mostly too old for Twitter.

1/ BRICS went from 21.9% of world income in 2011 to 28.9% in 2025.
Now take out China.
The other ten members went from 11.9% to 11.5%.
They did not rise. They fell.

To use the result of an old measuring tape to compare with that of a new one is simply wrong.
The needless GDP number controversy, and the traction it had, hides a deeper faultline - a section of the population deeply wants to believe India is doing badly.
India's macro stability comes not as a chance but as policy decisions.
Certainly, a reason to celebrate that we remain the world's fastest growing economy despite a very unstable world.

Sad.

Best Ive read in a long time! What a delightful read.

Always knew that @PapaCJ was sharp, witty & incisive on stage
What I did not know till recently was that he was such a good writer.
This new @EconomicTimes column is going to be addictive!

[Mahua Acharya @mahuaacharya]

The urban collapse that is Indian cities. I hope we can wake up to fixing these unwalkable cities for atleast the current generation of kids that may still retain a desire to walk. https://t.co/yTuZoz6q42

[Prashant Bhushan @pbhushan1]

This is minor cronyism in this govt, done without blinking. The big ones are the ports, airports, mines to Adani & contracts to Adani & firms of BJP leaders & those who donate to BJP via electoral bonds etc.
The level of corruption now is many times of peak UPA govt

[Mahua Acharya @mahuaacharya]

Wow - Bangalore finally has some hope of cleaning up. A politician who recognizes the problems and appears committed to fix things. May the force be with him! @krishnabgowda

[KBG Blore Development Minister Update's @KBGBlrDevUpdate]

Apart from malls and parks, what other spaces do families in Bengaluru have to celebrate together? Can everyone afford to shop at malls?
Shouldn't we create opportunities for ordinary people to come with their children and families to celebrate? Doesn't everyone deserve a chance

[Mahua Acharya @mahuaacharya]

Absolutely. Befitting of the scale and vision of the Tata Group.

[Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw @kiranshaw]

Very poignant points. Noel Tata’s plans for Tata Trusts to build Institutional scale for Academic excellence is commendable. ⁦@iimb_official⁩ is a worthy recipient of this philanthropy 👏👏👏 https://t.co/3XmpswRfbK

Oh, no - very sad. He was a story of grit, resilience and the toughest of human spirit. RIP.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Saddened by the tragic death of legendary mountaineer Nirmal “Nims” Purja in the Broad Peak avalanche. A towering son of Nepal, he inspired millions to believe that the impossible could be made possible. Watched his Netflix documentary 14 Peaks, a testament to courage, grit and an indomitable spirit. RIP. Om Shanti 🙏 https://t.co/bSqAqV0TjV

My article in @htTweets on what it would take to electrify our freight: electrification targets for India's largest corporate emitters and producers of material that use roads to transport their goods. Its time. #electricvehicle #Climate #greening #de-diesel.

[Hindustan Times @htTweets]

#Opinion | If the goal is rapid, at-scale freight electrification, the clearest path is to give large freight users electrification targets

Incredibly honoured to receive the Royal Order of the Polar Star (Knight First Class) from the Government of @Sweden. Sweden has been a long-standing partner of India, and over more than a century Swedish companies have helped build industries, train talent and drive innovation here. Ericsson, Saab, Volvo, H&M, IKEA and many others have been part of India’s industrial and digital transformation.

Whether in Make in India, 5G, or renewables, this partnership has rested on trust, shared values and a commitment to making progress benefit everyone. Grateful to have played a part in strengthening this key relationship, and also deeply appreciative of Ambassador Jan Thesleff’s outstanding contribution to India–Sweden relations over these years. @SwedishPM @SwedensAmbIndia @SwedeninIndia

[Mahua Acharya @mahuaacharya]

Absolutely - steadfast and resolute, just the way it needs to be as the capital. Good on @govt and leadership.

[Amitabh Kant @amitabhk87]

Delhi has once again set the pace. Its new EV policy is progressive, forward looking, innovative and transformational.
The plan to stop new registrations of ICE three-wheelers and N1 trucks from January 2027 and two-wheelers from April 2028 is a bold step in the right direction. It has also given a big push to Charging infrastructure.
I am glad that Delhi has gone full hog on electric and abandoned its earlier plan to partly support hybrid.
My kudos & Congrats to @gupta_rekha on the most progressive #EVPolicy . Other Staes would do well to emulate the model of Delhi.

Before you read this article, grab a glass of water and a paracetamol. Walk over to your laptop—the supercomputer in your hand is not up to the task—and see if you can figure out how to apply online for an Indian visa. We’ll wait https://t.co/1sFnvOl2fb

Celebrating with some incredible women from so many walks of life doing such inspiring work. Some old friends and many new. Thank you to @fin-erth for having me! #lcaw London Climate Action Week

Indian cities - a case study on the failure of urban governance. A shame that they look the way they do, are the way they are.

Fantastic - advice for a lot of people, a whole generation. Get inside, get specific, contribute. Change happens in mundane ways.

My latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress is an open letter to the GenZ supporters of the #CockroachJantaParty. They don’t have to accept that label or be defined by it. Here’s what they can do:
