There's a frame in Made in India: Titan Story that lasts barely a few seconds. The series keeps its focus on JRD, Xerxes Desai and his team, whose faces we have decided to remember.
But the real story of Titan may belong to the men in that forgotten frame.
First, IAS officer Mahadevan. And then K. Rajaram, Minister for Industries in MGR's Tamil Nadu govt, head of TIDCO. And by the show's own telling - a man who did not trust capitalists. Here was a politician of conviction, suspicious of private capital on principle. And yet, when the Tatas came with a proposal... he said yes.
Why?
Because the deal carried a condition he could not refuse... Hire local. Employ the people of the soil. And so a watch factory rose in Hosur on the backs of a workforce that was barely 10th pass. The Minister set his ideology aside... Not out of weakness, but out of a higher loyalty. To jobs... To livelihoods... To the quiet transformation of ordinary lives.
And transform it did.
Hosur was a border town with an industrial estate and not much else. Titan turned it into an ecosystem. Suppliers. Training centres. Ancillary units. Worker housing. An entire economy spun out of a single anchor. A town became a cluster.... an industrial powerhouse.
In 1984, TIDCO staked ₹10 crore on Titan. 40+ years on, that bet is worth nearly ₹1 lakh crore - close to 1/3rd of Tamil Nadu's projected revenue receipts of ₹3,44,575 crore for 2026-27... Imagine that.
I think about that scene very often... because it echoes something older and closer to home. People of my parents' generation in Bihar tell me they watched the 1982 Asian Games on TV sets built by a Bihar govt PSU. The same PSU once made video equipments too. There was a time when a state could believe in industry... Build it.
And perhaps that is the real lesson buried in that single forgotten frame: a state's destiny is not decided by what it owns, but by what it has the courage to believe in - and the patience to let that belief grow.
There are sports journalists and editors who have been saying that they had not heard of Curacao before today.
Folks, you did not even know they were in the World Cup?
You missed all those articles written about the tiny nation when it surprised everyone by qualifying for the World Cup a few months ago?
Are you sure you are sports journalists and editors?
Curaçao a nation with 1.5 lacs of population has scored against the mighty Germans. Word cup never disappoints.yesterday Morroco & today Curaçao. #GermanyvsCuracao
No praise is good enough for this hero duo Riyazuddin and son who emptied their shop of mattresses to spread them on ground - to cushion the fall of people jumping off from the burning hotel in Malvia Nagar. What an act of humanity and quick thinking. In that chaos to think straight and save lives - this hero deserves full compensation by MCD and commendation by the govt and also a public felicitation at a prominent place in Delhi @LtGovDelhi@gupta_rekha
As the fire was raging, people were ready to jump to escape the fire. This mattress shop guy, pulled out 20-22 new mattresses from his shop. Laid out on the road. And saved lives of absolute strangers. He knew nobody would pay him. Govt should compensate!

“The real disruption is not AI replacing people. It’s people with AI replacing everyone else.”
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, says the people predicting the collapse of white-collar work are missing the real story.
AI is not a replacement layer. It’s a force multiplier for people with expertise. Engineers, doctors and builders won’t disappear — they’ll operate at a scale that used to require entire organizations.
It isnt surprising that NEET exam has been cancelled by the @NTA_Exams . The hub of this entire operation is Sikar, where the success rate is 6X of national average. A similar thing happened in 2024 too, but the allegations were brushed under the carpet. Had we dealt with it in 2024 with an iron hand, this wouldnt have repeated.
What we know is that 140 of the 180 questions in NEET were part of a guess paper of 410 questions. What is alarming is that the order of the questions and the options were exactly the same.
The modus operandi is simple. In Sikar, the students are called in for a Mock test, a day before the actual exam and made to prepare for each of the questions in the guess paper. The students had 140 of the 180 questions preepared, thus guaranteed 600 of the 720 marks even before they entered the exam hall.
Time to go after the paper leakers. Jail them. 23 Lac students and families will pay the price of the brushing under the carpet we did in 2024. @careers360
What did CBI do last time ? same old shitty coverup will happen. this nation needs leader who can take responsibility & ensure such things never happen, but it has happened twice in a row.
NEET 2026 के पेपर लीक की खबर सुनी।
परीक्षा नहीं - NEET अब नीलामी है।
कई सवाल परीक्षा से 42 घंटे पहले WhatsApp पर बिक रहे थे।
22 लाख से ज़्यादा बच्चे साल भर रात-रात भर आँखें जलाकर पढ़ते रहे और एक रात में उनका भविष्य बाज़ार में सर���आम नीलाम हो गया। यह पहली बार नहीं है। 10 साल में 89 पेपर लीक - 48 बार दोबारा परीक्षा। हर बार वही वादे, और फिर वही ख़ामोशी।
मोदी जी, जब आप अपनी हर नाकामी का बिल जनता पर डालते हैं, तो ग़रीब के बच्चों का भविष्य भी उसी बिल में आता है।
22 लाख बच्चों का भरोसा टूटा है। और मोदी सरकार से बड़ा ख़तरा भारत के युवाओं के सपनों के लिए कोई नहीं।
मैं भारत के युवा के साथ हूँ। यह वक़्त बेहद मुश्किल है - मैं जानता हूँ। लेकिन यह व्यवस्था ऐसे नहीं रहेगी। हम मिलकर इसे बदलेंगे।
What did CBI do last time ? same old shitty coverup will happen. this nation needs leader who can take responsibility & ensure such things never happen, but it has happened twice in a row.
NEET (UG) प्रवेश परीक्षा का रद्द होना यह दर्शाता है कि इस पेपर में बड़े स्तर पर गड़बड़ी हुई थी। राजस्थान की भाजपा सरकार ने जानबूझकर दो सप्ताह तक इसे छिपाने की कोशिश की और युवाओं के भविष्य से खिलवाड़ किया। नेशनल टेस्टिंग एजेंसी (NTA) ने परीक्षा रद्द कर और सीबीआई को जांच सौंपकर युवाओं के हित में एक साहसिक निर्णय लिया है।
राजस्थान की भाजपा सरकार ने पहले कर्मचारी चयन बोर्ड में हुए OMR शीट घोटाले को छिपाया, ताकि सरकार की बदनामी न हो। कमजोर पैरवी के कारण उस मामले के आरोपियों को जमानत भी मिल गई। इसी प्रकार, अब NEET (UG) परीक्षा लीक की जानकारी को भी छिपाने का प्रयास किया गया और एफआईआर तक दर्ज नहीं की गई। अब सच्चाई सामने आ गई है और भाजपा सरकार का असली चेहरा बेनकाब हो गया है।
Can @dpradhanbjp Education minister pls resign ? show some balls & take responsibility over NEET UG leaked papers ? Its high time someone should. you cant understand the pain & mental condition of students who put hours & hours to compete. #NEETUG
