#BREAKING: Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen has died after setting himself on fire outside the United Nations headquarters in New York in protest against China’s occupation over Tibet. Moments before the act, he livestreamed an appeal for Tibetan independence and unity.

Pakistan’s sudden embrace of its pre-Islamic past is less a civilisational awakening than a carefully crafted geopolitical rebranding, aided by the West, writes @Utpal_Kumar1

I'm not against Indian hockey. I'm disappointed because I care.

My hockey knowledge may be limited, and this is just my opinion. (Armchair coaches, you can skip this.)

The last two FIH Pro League seasons have exposed the reality—we finished 8th. If not for Ireland and Pakistan, the standings could have looked even worse.

Don’t tell me that we are trying new players or we are applying new strategy’s 🙃

Yes, we won the Asian Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup. Congratulations to the team. 👏 But let's be honest: those tournaments are no longer the benchmark for judging where Indian hockey stands globally.

Now the usual explanation will be:
"We're focusing on the Asian Games because it's the Olympic qualifier."
That's understandable—but the Pro League table doesn't lie. It showed exactly where we stand against the world's best.

our junior team can beat Pakistan, it also shows the gap between India and the rest of Asia. Winning Asian tournaments is expected. The real challenge is consistently competing with the top teams in the world.
So here's the question:

Are we spending €24,286 ( approximately 25 laks ) a month on a foreign chief coach just to dominate Asian competitions? Or are we investing to become a genuine medal contender at the World Cup, Pro League, and Olympics?

Being satisfied with regional success while struggling against the world's elite shouldn't be the standard for Indian hockey.
Supporting the team doesn't mean staying silent. Real supporters ask tough questions because they want higher standards—not lower expectations.

Sleeping Giant is awakening

After 50 years, India's east coast belt has once again begun to unleash its industrial potential.

A lot is about to change because of this.

Existing coastal industrial hubs, especially along the east coast, are going to face tough competition.

19 years ago, it began with an India cap.
Today, another proud chapter is added to the story.

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

It’s been a minute.

2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.

2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.

Today

CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.

Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.

Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.

As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.

Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.

While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.

Onwards.

What an astonishing clip…Araghchi, JD Vance, Kushner, Sharif and Munir in one frame -
watch how the camera moves to capture the drama…
Munir grins as he sends forth Sharif… Araghchi says they’re leaving…
Sharif returns and gesticulates frantically…
Munir acts like he’s spotted a Brahmos missile and looks around the room…
Vance strides in to find out why they walked out… cameras continuing to roll.

(Btw can anyone tell what Sharif, JD Vance and Asim Munir ? lip readers?)
