Ten years ago, we set up India’s first mental health story telling platform. Sharing some of the behind the scenes from an unpublished chapter…

AI in the M&E space is clearly in a deployment boom at the moment. Whether you're looking at streaming platforms, broadcasters, or content creators, the use of AI is scaling fast. But the value creation and impact on P&Ls?
That's uneven.

One of the most interesting aspects of working on enterprise AI with teams across 2 continents—Not only has AI changed the entire game when it comes to content creation, and the value chain, cost compression and speed gains are very real.

India is smashing it: 42.5GW of new solar in 2026 ALONE. Think about that scale - it’s more than the entire installed capacity of most developed nations

At this exponential rate, solar capacity is on track to CRUSH coal in India by 2028

This one is a direct @JaipurLitFest connection - 'The Sneaky Artist' aka Nishant Jain on the Say Again pod, talking about how we all need to look up, pay attention and be present. Ideally with a sketchbook he says. This clip is him sharing #gratitude @SanjoyRoyTWA @NamitaGokhale_ 💜

How many important historical buildings in the UK have a bust of their architect in situ? While nobody denies that Edwin Lutyens designed governmental Delhi not sure why we need to celebrate him with a bust in Rashtrapati Bhavan. We can acknowledge the man without glorifying him

Aircraft not even cleaned before the flight and fraying at the edges … literally

[Abhishek Kumar @akumar2408]

Never fly @airindia if you have a time sensitive task or meeting fixed. Daily delays, no prior information, unprofessional staff … the list goes on. Two flights I was on delayed in the same day, had to change aircraft 1 hour after boarding, return flight also delayed. Short day trip has turned into a 18 hour nightmare.

[Sanjeev Bikhchandani @sbikh]

Ah - the fallacy of the inapt analogy. GDP is a flow variable. Market Cap is a stock variable. GDP is national income. Market cap is the aggregate value of all the shares of a company. You don’t compare a stock variable to a flow variable - apples and oranges. It’s a bit like someone saying “My house is worth more than your annual salary so I am better off than you”. If you want to compare Google to India then compare Googles revenue to India’s national income. Googles revenue is USD 400 bill. Its market cap is roughly 10x of that which is approx. USD 4 trillion. If countries could be listed and have a market cap then applying the same multiple India’s market cap would be USD 40 trillion around 10x of it’s GDP

So much b.s in this. So much.
I have never seen an event of the scale in my life other than kumbh.
Very big conferences in us like new neurips is still 1/10th of this..

Everything is actually allowed inside and there is absolutely no problem. 5 to 6 places I have eaten all of them actually only ask for UPI. The total time it took me to get in was less than 30 minutes on both the dates. All the talks I attended started and ended on time ...all the panels started and ended on time.

Just went for a long walk across the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026. Vibes are fantastic. Sessions packed. Expos buzzing. From use-case demonstrations & workshops to hyper scale build-outs; today, this is a real AI festival.
