1 · Data sovereignty
2 · AI sovereignty
3 · Payments sovereignty
4 · Identity sovereignty
5 · Language sovereignty
6 · Regulation sovereignty

@hope01010111 @HimanshuT_19 Yes , 2019 was last launch and then 3 year support as per terms so around 2022-23.

[Shashank Desai @YoShanky]

Yes but Google would at least need a regional GTM and more brands as takers ( country specific I doubt they will pick for now) .

Also the takers requirement boils down to volume commitment to sustain this program , and then brands have to fight on differentiating on hardware specs.

Brands already has their UI skins so eventually the respective RnDs will loose interest.

Also let’s be realistic , last time when this program was launched it was almost a decade+ ago so the gap was clear , need was optimistic. Today , we have achieved the smartphone penetration of a scale with easy finance and many other things put together. Will revival still work ? Unless you restructure the whole program to a new level.

I feel Brands like Mivi can actually take advantage of the space here and built an india originated , globally aspired pivot around this. I had discussed this space with few of new age brands , but no luck.

@shreya_arora22 @zoo_bear By the way he is a Top Journalist as per X algorithm while you sign up a new on it.

[Shashank Desai @YoShanky]

When you sign up for a new account on X in India, Algorithm recommending “Top Journalists” accounts are as per the video for me.

Seems as per X , none of below prominent accounts are posting enough to be into country’s recommendation list 🥸 weirdo as almost all of them are daily actively engaged on X !

@theprayagtiwari Anonymous unverified bribe dumps sound edgy until the fakes and grudges turn a “transparency” site into a permanent liability dumpster fire.

Video of the day! Little Yato Wangnao from Nagaland singing the National Anthem on India’s 80th Independence Day is everything inspiring 🇮🇳🫡

A beautiful reminder that the pride of the nation soars when the young generation takes it ahead

Smriti Irani ji spoke the unfiltered truth millions of Indians feel.

There is no “Gen Z vs Rest” divide in Bharat - only those who build and those who divide.

Under PM Modi ji’s leadership, this nation has moved forward as one: across age, religion, gender, and region, without gaps or favouritism.

Credit where it is due. Do not dilute it.
Jai Hind. 🇮🇳

PS : I registered on 23rd but received confirmation yesterday late evening 🥺 😭

Prakhar, let’s keep the balls in place.

This isn’t “collective psychosis.”
It’s a loud, well-funded minority running a high-speed narrative operation - foreign money, selective outrage, and endless conspiracy templates ; designed to keep Indians suspicious of each other and of their own government.

Calling every supporter a “bhakt” and every critic a victim of “foreign funding” is the oldest, laziest playbook. It only works on people who’ve already decided the nation is the problem.

Gen Z isn’t some mystical internet tsunami.
They’re being sold the same defeatist script with better algorithms and prettier packaging.
Btw most of them are smarter than that.

Technology doesn’t change human nature - it just removes the friction. And right now the frictionless product being sold is permanent distrust.

The state isn’t “too slow.” It’s firm. Those still peddling paranoia as profound analysis are the ones who will be left irrelevant.

Looking forward to the livestream

Time to take CJP noise to back seat & amplify credible medical voices like UDF in the mainstream - doctors who understand the stakes for India’s students.

UDF (United Doctors Front) is a non-political registered trust of young doctors & medical students from AIIMS & top colleges pushing real NEET/NTA reforms via Parliament submissions & Supreme Court PILs - focusing purely on student merit & system trust.

Unlike politicised voices, UDF’s Dr Lakshya Mittal stresses no party links & practical solutions from those who lived the grind: replace NTA with a statutory body accountable to Parliament.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Delhi: United Doctors Front (UDF) submits a representation to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking the replacement of the NTA with a statutory National Examination Authority created through an Act of Parliament.

This reiterates the organisation's earlier submissions before the Parliamentary Standing Committee as well as its pending Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court.

Chairperson, United Doctors Front, Dr Lakshya Mittal says, "The UDF has no association with any political party, whether its the ruling party BJP, or the opposition parties Congress, AAP or the Cockroach Janata Party. We are here concerned for the students of India. Every doctor, once an medical aspirant, clearly understands the years of hard work, sacrifice, emotional stress that students and their families go through. Our message is simple, don't politicise students' future, reform the system, restore trust in NEET and the education system and let merit prevail."

@ANI Manoj Jha on protest: ‘Never seen such natural, spontaneous gathering.’

Fact: He assisted CJP with venue for their presser at Constitution Club in June.

Spontaneous gatherings don’t usually need MP recommendation letters.

[Shashank Desai @YoShanky]

@aravind Did you just demonstrate the very psyop you’re warning about?
A provocative prediction seeds a narrative, the algorithm amplifies it, people emotionally react, and collective imagination starts forming around it. That’s quite the reverse UNO if intentional. 🥸

For years, major institutions have framed India and Hindus through the lens of nationalism, extremism, and suspicion. But what we've uncovered on @Wikipedia raises a deeper question: who gets to write the public record?

Our investigation found that a small cluster of anonymous editors controlled more than 80% of the @HinduAmerican page. Among the findings:

Blatant Conflict of Interest: The editors aggressively shaping HAF’s page were the exact same people controlling the Wikipedia profiles of HAF's legal adversaries and academic critics.

Inserting False FARA Allegations: Editors laundered complaints from HAF's opponents into "facts," using demands for a DOJ investigation to falsely brand HAF as a foreign agent

Administrative Silencing: An admin with supreme platform permissions deleted quotes from HAF's leadership, stripping the organization of its right to reply to allegations.

Over four years (2021-2025), editors systematically erased HAF’s identity as an American civil rights group, transforming its Wikipedia page into a heavily curated dossier of accusations. Our report from @npovmedia documents how it happened. 👇
