A few years ago, building a global rocket company from India felt almost impossible.

Today, Vikram-1, India’s first private orbital rocket, is at the spaceport in Sriharikota — and @SkyrootA has raised $60M at a valutation of $1.1B, backed by some of the world’s most reputed investors.

The round was co-led by Sherpalo Ventures and GIC, with participation from funds managed by BlackRock, the founders of Greenko Group, Arkam Ventures, Playbook Partners, Shanghvi Family Office, and others.

Honoured to welcome Ram Shriram, one of Silicon Valley’s most respected investors and a longtime Google board member, to Skyroot’s board.

Now, on to the spaceport with Vikram-1. Excited to get to Lift-off soon. 🔥🚀

Disagree vehemently ma’am (long post + thread)

1) previously the threshold of retaliation was kept deliberately low, precisely because of Pakistani nuclear threats … ergo the response was seldom “firm” - our “response” to 26/11 for example.

2) Yes, maintaining channels of communication is statecraft - but it isn’t the ONLY statecraft. When the very existence of communication is weaponised - as it was in pakistan as “india cowered, they had no option” then the statecraft lies in ending communication

3) Their standard fallback was “pakistan is a stakeholder, talk to us”. Right now the insurgency has ended (not terrorism - but the state of insurgency) - ergo the “stakeholder” argument also goes out of the window

4) With pakistan, engagement grants something far worse than mere immunity. It grants the notion of submission- that india was terrorised into talking - that’s how it is amplified to Pakistan’s domestic audience

5) The accusation isn’t a moral one - it’s an intellectual one - failing to realise the basics have changed and going back to staid patterns that yielded sub-optimal if not abysmal results at the best of times

6) The suggestion of a women’s caucus assumes that women will somehow find ways or means that men have not been able to. Yet engaging women in previous track 2s has yielded absolutely no discernible difference in outcomes - to statistically merit an all woman effort: your own, plus Chokila aunty and Meera Ma’am’s foreign secretary-ships being some examples - all three with very different outlooks but all three operated under the same pre “talks+terror” rubric. All of you plus several women were involved in track 2s .. to what different result?

7) Invoking the suffering of victims is not deploying rhetoric. Far from it - every victim is statistical proof, a walking talking data point, of the failure of past policy. Asking someone to confront statistical proof of policy failure is not rhetoric - quite the antithesis in fact.

8) Agree 100% on judging policy by who agrees and disagrees. However as a general rule, we’ve seen Pakistanis agree with every single proposal of talks - precisely because of points 2,3 & 4 raised earlier

9) As you yourself point out ( I agree) - the end game has to be “containment, deterrence, internal strengthening, and selective engagement”… that - including selective engagement is exactly what is happening. Selective to the point it reduces the weaponisation opportunity given to pakistan.

10) Regarding “reducing pakistan to rubble” - this is an extremist point and I’d say you’re caricaturing the other PoV here. What has happened however is that the limits of nuclear deterrence have been tested and shifted very significantly. That is brinkmanship yes, but necessary brinkmanship against a high-risk-acceptance adversary

11) Regarding your 4 points
First we are in complete agreement - but what you fail to mention is that the sticks - specifically military retaliation has increased significantly imposing disproportionate costs. That’s a recalibration of the calculus.

12) Second - Pakistan’s veto on india has finally ended after nearly 40 years of insurgency & bombings - starting with Punjab, through the mumbai bombings, the dual - Kashmir-Punjab insurgency, the mumbai attacks. My question is where exactly are you seeing a Pakistani veto on/over india right now? And how did talks in the past negate that veto?

13) Third - refusing engagement & keeping it to the bare minimum (Indus waters for example) and cancelling even that is ALSO - CONFLICT MANAGEMENT. It may not be your preferred method, but that doesn’t mean it’s not conflict management and it is significantly more successful than past methods in reducing indian fatalities

14) Fourth: which part of current policy suggests we haven’t kept alternate futures in mind?

@n_sri_laasya I don't think dating works like that. it's never about doing similar things or having similar taste. you can get friends with the things you are suggesting but attraction to opposite gender doesn't work that way

@KapilChopra72 @gupta_rekha Hi kapil, just wanted to know, why is your HQ for eazydiner and postcard still gurugram? why can't you shift to BLR/HYD or Goa where the quality of life is relatively significantly better ? Is being closer to old money and govt helps business in anyway?
