🚨 BIG: A treatment that costs over ₹3 crore in the 🇺🇸 US is now available in 🇮🇳 India for approximately ₹30–40 lakh.

India developed NexCAR19, its first indigenous CAR-T cell gene therapy for blood cancer, through a collaboration between researchers at IIT Bombay & Tata Memorial Centre.

I started Zomato with a spirit of service. Blinkit Ambulance is what that spirit of service looks like today.

In the last 2 years, we have served ~20,000 emergency cases (~42,000 cases in total). We haven't charged a single rupee for any of them. And we want to keep it that way.

With everything free, a growing share of bookings are for routine checkups, hospital visits and hospital-to-home transfers, trips that an Uber or private transport could have handled just as easily. Every such booking keeps a fully equipped emergency ambulance with paramedics off the road when someone's life may depend on it.

So we are making a change from now onwards: Emergency transfers – free, as always. Non-emergency transfers – ₹2,500, charged after the trip. Broadly in line with what private ambulances charge. This money goes to Eternal Foundation, which runs these ambulances and will help us scale them even further.

We hope that this charge will dramatically drop the usage of our Ambulances for non-emergency cases. 10-minute ambulances have saved and can save thousands of lives, and we need to keep them available for emergencies that need them the most.

One more thing. Scaling high quality ambulances is hard. The biggest bottleneck is trained, empathic paramedics. Our training academy is scaling as fast as we can without compromising on quality, and @albinder and team are committed to bringing Blinkit Ambulance to all major cities in India in the next 2-4 years.

Stay well, and I pray you don't need us. @sparsh_sehgal – I wish your grandma a speedy recovery, and I am so glad we were able to be there on time.

@never_released It's very hit or miss tho; It took me multiple tries and many many hours to get chats transferred successfully.

@never_released Authenticator has such a terrible experience. My phone stopped working and logging in to my MS acc in the new device didn't automatically move things. Best part is, the app can't locate my cloud backup either.

Also, WA allows cross OS transfer on Setup.

I think what is actually needed is for Indian people to actually give a damn about their cities and fellow citizens.

Anybody using the "I pay taxes, I shouldn't have to do anything" excuse should go live in another country. India isn't developed, it's developing, so it needs patriots, not parasites. If this triggers you, it means you're part of the problem.

If you're not happy with the footpath (or a pothole, or anything else which is broken), fix it, or call someone to fix it, and don't give up until it's fixed. Be relentless. Be vocal. Be creative. Make it your mission to get that one thing fixed. Look at what Virendra (@Virendra0698) did by just calling the right people and being respectful (but also persistent). He and Arun Pai (@arunpaiblrwalks) along with the help of GBA and some wonderful volunteers turned an unofficial garbage dump into a pristine, beautiful footpath through sheer force of will.

I wrote a new Task Manager that runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can get it now at https://t.co/OZcq1axGTb ... but why?

Well, it started as an argument over whether you could vibe code Microsoft Word today. I didn't think so. But I figured... maybe something simpler like Task Manager. But you can't just tell Claude, "Hey, write a task manager!" Well, you can, but it'll be hot garbage.

Then my kid blew out his appendix and needed surgery, so I had a couple of days in waiting rooms to tinker with the idea. I broke out my new M5 MacBook Air, and I put together a 107-page spec, like I was some caffeine-addled PM from the 90s. Everything you could ever want to know about a task manager, how it works, what it should do, and what it should look like.

By the time he was out of the hospital, I had a rough app working. But then he started bleeding internally, needed emergency surgery and a blood transfusion. Happy to say he's all better now - but suffice to say I had the rest of the week to tinker as he healed.

But why write a Task Manager? Because when I wrote the original in '95, it was on a P90 or something equally weak. Updating, scrolling, and painting without using more than a percent or two of the CPU was the modest goal.

Now that we have 5 GHz CPUs and GPUs to help, why not push the limits? Animate everything at 60Hz, instead of once a second. History mouse tracking, a summary page, and all the features I would have added then if the hardware had allowed it.

My autism leads me to embrace neon and high contrast in a way that's not to everyone's taste, so there's a saturation slider to control the color. But this one goes to 11.

You can also select from a bunch of DEC VT220-inspired themes like Green Phosphor, Amber, or White. And I added Blue to match my VSCode theme!

The code is fully native: Direct2D/DirectComposition on Windows, UIKit on Mac, and Qt on Linux. The UI communicates with a shared CPP core, which branches out to platform-specific helpers. There's NO electron, HTML, JSON, etc.

Thanks to David and Rutger for their help along the way, I couldn't have done it this quickly on three platforms without them!

If you've got some cycles to spare, give it a try and let me know if you run into any issues!

Search is one of those places in Windows where small amounts of friction add up quickly.

Opening an app. Finding a file. Changing a setting. Getting the right result should feel clear and focused.

Excited to see these Search updates go live. The Windows Search Box is getting calmer, easier to scan, giving you more control over web and Store suggestions, and also improving how results appear across apps, settings, files, and more.

क्या हमने सफलता की परिभाषा को केवल एक सुरक्षित नौकरी तक सीमित कर दिया है?

भारत को केवल Job Seekers नहीं, बल्कि Job Creators चाहिए। इसके लिए युवाओं को सलाह नहीं, विश्वास, मार्गदर्शन और Hand-Holding Mentorship चाहिए।
