It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
Thank you Odisha, and Bhubaneswar, for making us proud by being selected as host of the 2028 World Athletics Indoor Championships
But we recognise that this isn’t an isolated achievement.
It’s a textbook case of strategy executed over time.
Michael Porter, the Guru of competitive strategy, described how nations build advantage through clusters: dense ecosystems where infrastructure, talent, institutions and demand reinforce each other.
Such clusters create a flywheel: better facilities attract events, events sharpen execution, execution builds credibility, and credibility attracts more investment.
This is exactly the flywheel Odisha set in motion.
The lesson is simple: you don’t bid for global events.
You build ecosystems, and the world comes to you.
BREAKING: India’s External Affairs Minister called Iran’s Foreign Minister and asked for permission to use the Strait of Hormuz. He received it.
That sentence should be read slowly. The world’s largest democracy, the fifth-largest economy, a nuclear-armed state with the fourth most powerful military on Earth, a country that imports 85% of its crude oil, called Tehran and requested a waiver to transit an international waterway that has been open to all nations under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea since 1994. And Tehran said yes, on the condition that Indian tankers notify Iranian authorities before entering.
Iran now issues transit permits for the Strait of Hormuz the way a border authority issues visas at an airport. China transits via shadow fleet under IRGC protection without asking, 11.7 million barrels since 28 February, because China funds the war machine. Bangladesh negotiated a waiver on 10 th March. India negotiated one on 11th March. Thailand did not negotiate. The Mayuree Naree was struck by a projectile. Three sailors are missing.
Four tiers of access now govern a 33-kilometre international waterway. Tier one: China, which transits freely because it pays. Tier two: India and Bangladesh, which transit conditionally because they asked. Tier three: the Western alliance, which cannot transit because Iran declared every tanker serving the US, Israel, or allies a legitimate target. Tier four: everyone else, who transits at the risk of being mistaken for tier three by one of 31 autonomous commands that distinguish targets by presence, not flag.
PM Modi’s government told the United States last week that India “never depended on any country” for permission to buy Russian oil. This week, India called Iran for permission to buy any oil at all through Hormuz. The multi-alignment doctrine that positions India as beholden to no single power has produced a country that simultaneously rejects American conditions on Russian crude and accepts Iranian conditions on Gulf crude. India does not take orders. India takes permissions. From everyone, depending on the waterway.
The Jaishankar-Araghchi phone call is the most consequential diplomatic exchange of the war that nobody is covering. It establishes that the post-28 February Hormuz is not closed and not open. It is licensed. And the licensing authority is a government whose Supreme Leader is cardboard, whose military command just announced continuous strikes, whose 31 autonomous provincial commands operate on sealed orders from a dead man, and whose foreign minister grants transit waivers that no one can guarantee the military will honour.
The waiver is issued by Tehran’s diplomatic wing. The weapons are controlled by the Mosaic Doctrine’s 31 autonomous commands. The diplomatic wing and the military wing do not communicate through a functioning chain of command. The same disconnect that burned Oman’s oil tanks while the president apologised could strike an Indian tanker while the foreign minister guarantees its safety.
India has 10 million citizens working in the Gulf. Their remittances sustain families across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. India imports two-thirds of its LNG through the Strait. India’s March fertiliser tenders went unawarded because no cargo could transit. The permission is not optional. It is existential. And the country granting it cannot guarantee its own military will respect it.
The Strait of Hormuz now operates on the same principle as every chokepoint this war has created: the threat is cheaper than the defence, the insurance cannot price it, and the authority that grants passage answers to a dead man’s orders and a living man’s cardboard photograph.

Technology has concentrated unimaginable wealth and power in the hands of the likes of Altman, super bright at one level, but totally missing empathy and integrity in his make up.
Einstein was a huge fan of Mahatma Gandhi and a dedicated pacifist and humanist, Oppenheimer was distraught about the implications of the atomic weapons he had helped develop, Banting sold the patent of insulin for $1 so that it could help the maximum number of diabetes patients.
Where did we go wrong?
@NTA_Exams@narendramodi There is youtube channel called Eduniti , they have clarified. Answer key is correct but order has been changed which is creating issue. I stand corrected.
@NTA_Exams Dear @NTA_Exams why almost all the answer of 23rd Jan shift 2 has been changed? It's really a blunder , pl accept this.
@narendramodi Dear Sir, pl make someone to look into this, around 14 lac students gave this exam and NTA is making mockery of serious students
@NTA_Exams@narendramodi Pl don't declare result without taking honest corrections. It will lower the morale of serious students. Also most of them will start facing board exam , imagine their heartbreak after seeing wrong result.

@svembu Hope you read my message Sir 🙏
Yes , it's a biased message from a parent but with genuine Good intentions. Hope this suggestion reaches to many IT , AI ML, HFT firms.
#Google#meta#Microsoft#nvidia@elonmusk pl read the above suggestion
@svembu Dear Sir, I have a suggestion. Say a student gave jee mains and get even 4 lac AIR.
Then he takes admission in any tier 3 or 4 college then he seats for campus selection. In college he studies mostly outdated things.
Why not they get a chance of 4 years in your firm 1/n
as an intern by paying suitable fee and learn updated things. And then slowly start working on real project n if Zoho find them useful,they can offer a job. In this way atleast they will build real skill which will definitely help them even if they miss a job in Zoho @svembu 2/n
@svembu All I am trying to say- if a student is not studying in IIT, NIT, GFIIT or some other renowned college,they are mostly wasting their time. So pl on the basis of jee mains rank you or company like yours should hire as an intern and they will pay you for 4 years n learning real 3/n
Today’s Budget cannot be routine. It must be transformational.
The world has changed.
Technology has changed.
Competition has intensified.
We are no longer a $1 trillion economy.
We are moving toward $5 trillion, and global relevance.
You cannot run a giant economy with a small-economy mindset.
If not now, then when?
This is the moment to address unemployment decisively, push manufacturing aggressively, invest deeply in education, ensure disciplined execution, deepen capital markets, and strengthen investor confidence.
I believe this is the right moment to rise to that scale.
This Budget has the potential to be defining, even historic. 🇮🇳 ✌️

It's not about raising tax revenues I think. It's about making gambling more expensive. Look at what we have created - the world’s largest casino! I know you might disagree but just stating an alternative view from society’s viewpoint.
And any drop in market cap of businesses which do not make money from F&O trading activity is just noise - something I think you may agree with.
@Sanjay__Bakshi Dear Sir, I think I saw you in today's Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight !
Wanted to speak but couldn't gather the courage to ask you, was it you ?
Invest 31 minutes in building your knowledge of the future.
See the Elon Musk speech at #WEF2026.
Will summarise it by the afternoon.
Its a very busy Friday !
@Nithin0dha Yes, I understand . My point is you are transferring the burden on the user . Your system can easily flag high value transactions and your customer service team can email and phone the user to confirm that it's a valid transaction . Why make me do the work ?
What happened last night is a testament to the fact that when you give wings to a dream, dreams do come true.
The girls were brilliant, but one must acknowledge the support behind this watershed moment, four years of planning and belief. When @JayShah Sir was the BCCI Secretary, the @BCCI introduced initiatives that changed the course of women’s cricket, from equal match fees and the Women’s Premier League to a stronger domestic structure, India A tours, and a thriving U19 pathway.
Now, the @ICC continues to shape the women’s game, with the World Cup being hosted at home and the prize pool raised to 13.88 million dollars, a fourfold increase that shows how far the game has come.
For every person standing behind a young girl who dares to dream of wearing India’s colours, this is a pivotal moment, a reminder that dreams do come true when those dreams get the support they truly deserve. ❤️
