Basecamp is our tribute to the builders powering India's most exciting ecosystem. The ones who start before they're ready, keep going when it's hard, and build things that outlast the doubt.
And we're opening the week with Basecamp Dialogues, a curated evening for the audacious founders who make India’s startup ecosystem unique.
We’ve curated this as an honest conversation about what it actually takes to turn an idea into an enduring business, and everything that happens in between: the long odds, the hard calls, and the belief that keeps you going.
You'll hear it firsthand from people who have lived this journey:
→ @nikiparmar09 Ex-Google Brain; author of the “Attention Is All You Need” paper; Head of Reinforcement Learning, Anthropic
→ @Nithin0dha, Founder & CEO, Zerodha and Rainmatter
→ @PawanKChandana, CEO, Skyroot Aerospace
→ @pratykumar, CEO, Sarvam
→ @viditaatrey, Founder & CEO, Meesho
We believe the people who build the future rarely do it alone. Come spend an evening with the ones who've done it, and find the conviction to be audacious. That's the spirit behind @basecampblr!

India is exporting the architecture for the digital economy. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this remarkable journey. Thank you, Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and Hon'ble Minister Shri @PiyushGoyal Ji, for your vision and leadership in creating a digital ecosystem that is now inspiring nations across the world. #ONDC #ION #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DPI #OpenNetworks #DigitalCommerce #India #Indonesia #Innovation #AI

मुंबईकरांसाठी खुशखबर!!
मुंबईच्या पब्लिक ट्रान्सपोर्टला मोठा डिजिटल बूस्ट!
👉 मेट्रो २अ आणि ७ ची तिकिटं आता १४+ ॲप्सवर उपलब्ध
मुंबईकरांसाठी मेट्रो प्रवास आणखी सोपा, जलद आणि हरित होत आहे. आता तुम्ही मेट्रो लाईन २अ आणि ७ च्या क्यूआर-आधारित तिकिटांची खरेदी थेट १४ पेक्षा जास्त लोकप्रिय मोबाईल कन्झ्युमर ॲप्सवरून करू शकता.
८ ऑक्टोबर २०२५ रोजी लाँच झालेल्या भारतातील पहिल्या सामायिक मोबिलिटी ॲप – #MumbaiOneApp ला मिळालेल्या प्रचंड प्रतिसादानंतर (दोन महिन्यांत ३,७८,७९२+ डाउनलोड्स), एमएमआरडीए आणि महा मुंबई मेट्रो यांनी डिजिटल तिकिटिंगमध्ये आणखी मोठी झेप घेतली आहे.
मेट्रो २अ व ७ या मार्गिकांसाठीची मोबाईल क्यूआर तिकीटं मोठ्या प्रमाणात घेतली जात असून, यापुढे ओपन नेटवर्क फॉर डिजिटल कॉमर्स (ओएनडीसी) च्या माध्यमातून ही तिकीटं १४+ कन्झ्युमर-फेसिंग ॲप्लिकेशन्सवर उपलब्ध होणार आहेत.
आज, मा. मुख्यमंत्री श्री. देवेंद्र फडणवीस जी यांच्या हस्ते आणि मा. उपमुख्यमंत्री तथा एमएमआरडीएचे अध्यक्ष यांच्या प्रमुख उपस्थितीत या उपक्रमाचा शुभारंभ झाला. यावेळी श्रीम. अश्विनी भिडे, प्रधान सचिव, मुख्यमंत्री कार्यालय, डॉ. संजय मुखर्जी, महानगर आयुक्त, एमएमआरडीए आणि श्रीम. रुबल अग्रवाल, व्यवस्थापकीय संचालक, महा मुंबई मेट्रो आदी मान्यवर उपस्थित होते.
ही सुविधा लाखो दैनंदिन प्रवाशांना देणार आहे:
✨ अधिक वेगवान सेवा
