@praveentintu @ccg33k Atlas to Neo? That isn't an upgrade I guess.

Nine years ago, "Dabba" was just a Raspberry Pi hotspot taped to a table at a chai shop.

@ShubhenduSharma and I just sat there waiting to see if anyone would connect.
They did... within hours.

Everything since has been the same idea, just at a much larger scale.

[Dabba Network 🟨 @DabbaNetwork]

The network is growing itself.

Half a million people on Dabba WiFi daily.
1,400+ terabytes consumed every day.
$600K+ in recurring monthly revenue.

April 15th, $DBT launches to accelerate what already works.

This is how we built it 👇

@tryneoapp It's a go

Chief Engineer used to be the final technical authority on board. Now the power’s shifting to shore teams and dashboards. If not careful, shipping gets accountability without authority. Connected ships need connected trust, not just more data. #shipping https://t.co/0KFiJ6VY2o

@ANI Served a 3 month notice period? @IndiGo6E

AIS is no longer background noise.
Every “small” route tweak, speed change and AIS gap is replayed and judged months later by people who only see dots and timestamps, not the weather or traffic.

Shipping has quietly entered open source seamanship.

Jaspreet Bumrah was born/stays in ahmedabad, speaks fluent Gujarati and plays for Gujarat. Experts consider him a talent like Donald Bradman, once in a century talent.

Hardik Pandya stays in Baroda ( a twin city of Ahmedbad about 110 KM away / ~ one and half hour drive )

Akshar Patel stays in Nadiad ( ~ 57 KM away / under an hours drive )

Three player ~ 27 % of team playing in this final are from Ahmedabad or surround area which represents under 1 % of India’s population.

Can this happen without a sporting culture ?

Infact not many people would know but the first time cricket in the subcontinent was played in Khambhat ( Englishman’s pronounced it as Cambay ) few centuries ago, when the English crew of a waiting ship played the game.

India, unlike, many western paradigms cannot be analysed in black and white, in linear equations or algorithms. It has to be felt, embraced and understood.

Maersk freezing most Gulf bookings isn’t a “shock” event. It’s shipping’s new normal: trade lanes can be switched off overnight by geopolitics and risk. Are your contracts, networks and crews planned for that reality? #shipping #maritime #Maersk #logistics #supplychain

Marine Tanks
New Delhi. The news of the death of Indian Merchant Navy Captain Ashish Kumar, a resident of Bihar, in a drone attack in the Gulf region near Oman has sent shockwaves through his family and the entire area.

According to information, during the drone attack the vessel MV Skylight came under its impact, after which a massive fire broke out on board the ship. It is reported that a burnt part of Captain Ashish Kumar’s body (bone) has been recovered from his cabin. Final confirmation will be made through a DNA test.
Following the incident, the entire family is in deep shock. Captain Ashish Kumar is survived by his parents, wife, a five-year-old son and a daughter, two younger brothers and a married sister. The family has been devastated by this tragedy.
