@SharmaShradha Fantastic to see the state reach out to people like you who have both good intentions and ability to move the needle here. Look forward to some positive changes soon.
@KajEmbren Small correction. Pakistanis bet on solar before the crisis, because they had a power crisis well before any crisis now. As it turns out, the Pakistani government has benefited from that, and still remains intent on fritter g away those benefits too, if you look deeper.
What a front page by @mid_day Awesome! We need the crooks in the Govt and BMC enjoying benefits flowing from these fine gentlemen to also be paraded in this rogue's gallery.

@SandhuTaranjitS I believe @SharmaShradha has been working with startups with some real solutions to offer. I hope you get to see their proposals soon.
@SharmaShradha@AshwiniVaishnaw The Minister has done himself credit with the apology for the security related issues on day 1. For me, that's already the best thing to come out of the summit if more public officials accept mistakes and correct fast.
@SharmaShradha@PMOIndia@narendramodi Delighted to see the net expanding beyond the usual cities. So critical that talent finds a platform for validation and feedback. To see Yourstory do it is even better, with the long legacy of backing startups through thick and thin!
It's fascinating how Indigo's share price has barely suffered a dent when the firm is going through the equivalent of a full blown crisis for any other firm. The joys of being a dominant player with no other option in sight. It's also a massive regulatory failure.
Quick reminder - if you have signed up for the Pollution campaign, we are doing the all-community call at 7 PM Today. We will be deciding on the next steps!

See you soon.
I have moved my base to New Delhi recently, a city very close to my heart.
But I have been feeling really underwhelmed.
During my college years at St Stephen's, winters were beautiful and we used to look forward to foggy days. But it's not the same anymore. I wake up every morning feeling my throat is scratchy. I feel sick every time I step out - and you can't just stay at home in the air purifier all day.
Delhi air is a real problem and I feel we, as citizens, are not doing enough to turn things around.
Can we do something?
As a member of India's startup ecosystem, I feel we can do a lot more than just building our ventures. We have the sharpest minds solving some of the most complex problems - day in and day out.
Can we take a few hours out and spend time in brainstorming solutions for some of the most pressing challenges that we face as a society?
For now, if you are someone who lives in Delhi or has loved-ones who live here, air pollution has become an existential crisis.
This is what I am proposing:
1: Let's get together in Delhi and brainstorm some ideas on what it is that citizens can do to respond to this crisis. Just ideas and brainstorms, no cameras, no audience.
2: We compile ideas and solutions in a document and we present it to the relevant authorities. We also tell them specifically what we can do to help them.
3: And if the authorities want, we volunteer some time and resources that may be needed to fix this challenge.
If you want to join this brainstorm in Delhi, just fill this form and I will get back to you with details of the meetup.

@SharmaShradha Here's hoping for some real great ideas that can be place soo . People need to understand there is no quick fix, and the govt needs to stop being defensive and be more transparent in seeking solutions.

Officers are finding increasingly creative ways to practice corruption.
Meet Pradyumna Dixit, Jt Director in the Dept of IT at RajComp, Govt of Rajasthan.
He awarded govt tenders to two private companies on the condition that they hire his wife, Poonam Dixit, as a consultant, only on paper, and pay her a monthly salary. The companies complied.
Over two years, during the companies contract period with Govt, Poonam Dixit received nearly ₹40 lakh without ever visiting either office. Really innovative, but sadly got caught.
I'm impressed. In my opinion, GoI should constitute a Rashtriya Chatur Bhrashtachari Sammaan to award such innovative ways of doing desh-seva.
