Glad to get an opportunity to share my knowledge with students at #NISM Patalganga campus. Special thanks to @jyotibudhia

@Adani_Elec_Mum Soniwadi area in Borivali West has been facing power outage for the last three days from 11:30 pm to 1:30 am. Kindly address the issue.

@mybmc Another gimmick. Expected better from the mayor.

@Ravisutanjani Must add that service remains a major issue. Huge waiting period. Thankfully I have found local mechanics.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@Ravisutanjani I replaced a decade old Activa with Revolt RV400 in 2021. Activa gave an average of 35km, Rv400 full charge runs 110-120 km for a single seater. Charging cost is less than Rs 60.
Younger brother has been using Ola since 2022, similar performance.

India wants to become a $10 trillion economy.
But CBSE could not protect a password.

And no.
This is not a joke.

18.5 lakh Class 12 students appeared for CBSE Board Exams in 2026.
Their answer sheets were handed to a company with 51 employees.
A teenager reportedly broke into the system within minutes.

This was not innovation.
It was institutional comedy.

CBSE launched On-Screen Marking.
OSM.

The promise?
Transparency.
Accuracy.
Speed.

The result?
Swapped answer sheets.
Blurred scans.
Missing pages.
Portal crashes.
Embarrassment.

Some students opened photocopies of their answer books.
They found someone else's handwriting under their roll number.

Now look at the scale.

18.5 lakh students.
26 countries.
7,574 exam centres.
120 subjects.
98 lakh answer booklets.
40 crore pages.
77,000 teachers logging in.

All processed in 10 days.

And managed by a company smaller than many CBSE schools.

Then came the tender.
Two companies qualified.

TCS.
600,000 employees.
57 years of credibility.
$29 billion revenue.

And Coempt Edu Teck.
51 employees.

Guess who won.

Not the company trusted by banks.
Airlines.
Governments.
Stock exchanges.

The other one.

But there is a twist.

Coempt was once called Globarena Technologies.
The same company linked to Telangana's 2019 Intermediate Exam fiasco.

3.8 lakh students received wrong marks.
Toppers became failures.
3 lakh sought reverification.
20 students died by suicide in eight days.

Months later.
Globarena changed its name.
The memories remained.

Then came the cybersecurity masterpiece.

OTP verification on the browser.
Not the server.

Password resets without old passwords.
Examiner IDs editable from browser storage.

And a master password sitting inside public source code.
No encryption.
No hashing.
Just there.

A School project is much secured and Scalable than this.

Like keeping jewellery outside a jewellery shop with a sign saying:
"Please don't touch."

CERT-In was reportedly informed in February 2026.
The platform went live anyway.

77,000 teacher logins.
40 crore pages.
No fix.

70,000 answer books required rescanning.
15,000 shifted back to physical evaluation.

The digital revolution quietly asked for revaluation.

Then officials defended the system.
And later called IITs to help fix it.

Which is a bit like crashing a bus and then inviting ISRO to explain gravity.

Now comes the uncomfortable question.

TCS was on the shortlist.
TCS lost.

A company carrying the baggage of a past exam controversy won.
How?

Who approved it?
Who reviewed the risks?
Who signed the file?

Nobody seems eager to answer.

NEET chaos.
Now CBSE chaos.

Every year we hear the same slogans.
Student-centric.
Technology-driven.
Future-ready.

Wonderful words.
Terrible execution.

India does not have a shortage of talent.
India has a shortage of accountability.

Mr. Education Minister, will you answer?

@REDBOXINDIIA @saybwala Bhai ye thoda zyada hogaya.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@MehulThakkar_ Twenty years ago the road itself didn't exist, this entire stretch has been encroached with full political backing.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@PiyushGoyal Another attempt to misguide the masses.

@AmolPlanRupee Most of the jobbers and Delta traders trade in a Pro account. One account multiple traders.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@Amena__Bakr And that would be?

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@creditcardz_in Yes you can. Start with the PM's Europe trip.

@mariawirth1 You are right in your assessment.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@rammadhav_ You spoke without a filter for once. Sad that you can't stand by your words.

[Karan Joshi @_RiskManager]

@narendramodi Sir you have thousands of followers who will blindly imitate you. If you don't follow safety rules and don't wear a life jacket, your followers will do the same. All this for a photoshoot??

@MEAIndia Grow a spine. Respond sternly.
