@Radio_India_ Vishakapatnam will be the mumbai of the east India. 10 years for full development.
I personally know a lot of friends and acquaintances who have setup their base in Vishakapatnam.
@10xravi Neopolis is a game changer. If everything goes well and the government also invests on infrastructure, there is no stopping in making Hyderabad the next big business / transit destination.
Trnasportation price needs to reduce. Ideally we shouldn't be spending on transportation so much, it is increasing the prices of basic needs.
and any D2C brand thinking they are banking on India's consumption story is living in history - Our consumption story will decline.
In Hyderabad, the prices have dropped by 25 to 30% already. I anticipate a further drop of 10-20% in the next two years - this is expecially for projects that started last year and need to sell out inventory to complete the project.
I am hearing Singapore & Dubai are already facing the heat.
Europe has had a falling real estate pricing.
US will face it soon in a couple of years.
New: Joe Rogan is shocked when Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas explains how Bill Gates tricked all of America into becoming office workers:
SRINIVAS: “Microsoft built this concept of the office worker because they wanted to sell office software.”
ROGAN: “Wow. This type of lifestyle is a very recent thing that we’ve just now accepted as normal.”
SRINIVAS: “It was the mission of Bill Gates to put a PC on every desk and get people glued to them.”
ROGAN: “What a freaking wizard. Boy did they nail that one.”
SRINIVAS: “It wasn’t about making computing beautiful like the vision Steve Jobs had.
All they cared about was selling computers so they could sell software. When you sell more software that’s when you become rich.”
ROGAN: “They’re so sneaky man.”
SRINIVAS: “That’s why we all got trained into using Microsoft Word and Excel.
Once you learned that then you could work for a company that has a PC on their desk who’s paying Microsoft money to use software.”
India's per capita emissions are a fraction of the West's. Yet it carries most of the blame.
The answer is not getting defensive. It is narrative.
Tell India's story, on India's terms, at a global scale.
For years, the narrative about India has been negative. As if we live in the worst country in the world.
That is a soft power problem, not just PR.
India needs to actively project its culture, heritage and arts to the world. Whoever shapes the narrative, shapes the future.
Look at the climate blame.
India got singled out for its record heat. Now Europe and the US are breaking records too, with far less scrutiny.
Extreme heat is a global problem, driven by global emissions and cycles like El Niño. It does not stop at India's borders.
When your flight is delayed and diverted to another city, with no alternative explanations. How can the passengers be calm?
Happens only in the US - passengers from across the world can't risk complaining.
In-flight entertainment is a strong way to launch India's soft power in the world.
Imagine a person on a 15hr flight, what will they do?
I have seen people indulging in K dramas, south east Asian movies.
