For 18 years, Virat Kohli gave his heart to a team that had never touched the trophy.
Waiting for the light of that dawn.
And now, at last, the stars have answered his faith.
Loyalty like this doesn’t just win titles — it carves legacies.
When Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he had 90 days to save Apple from bankruptcy.
Everyone in Silicon Valley thought it was doomed.
Steve was right. Everyone was wrong.
It's the comeback story of the century and every entrepreneur must know how he did it 🧵:
Ok you know what? That's sick
Math Notes = write down a math problem with Apple pencil and the app solved it immediately
They're not calling it AI (they haven't said it once yet) but that's powerful

I was happily surprised to see that we are ahead of China. That must be because the western half of China is sparsely inhabited.
More interesting is that we’re within striking distance of the U.S.A.
I’m sure @nitin_gadkari ji can set a goal to overtake the U.S not too long from today! 🇮🇳💪🏽
My year end musings. A Financial Sector Model for India’s dream: 9% annual growth, $30 trillion GDP by 2047.
India is transforming from a nation of savers to investors. The tussle between the saver/ borrower and issuer/ investor model is underway.
In the early 80s, the Indian saver had low confidence in financial assets versus gold and land. Slowly the saver moved some part to bank deposits, UTI and LIC.
Even in the 90s, investing in equities was considered “speculative”. Hence companies looking for capital went to the foreign institutional investor (FII). FIIs saw potential and bought into companies while the Indian saver stayed away. Companies raised capital through the less known Luxembourg stock exchange. India’s capital market was being exported.
Some of us highlighted this phenomenon to SEBI. That began the private placement market (QIP) in early 2000s. Hence FIIs could also buy on Indian markets. The Indian saver’s interest in markets improved after the global financial crisis.
That saver is now savouring the joys of investing. Mutual fund platforms, cash equities and derivatives markets, insurance funds, global private equity in India, other platforms like AIFs, lower tax regime for equity, have all converted a saver to an investor.
How do we create a sustained growth story hereon?
1.Many investors have joined post Covid. They have mainly seen upside. While the situation is not comparable at present, we need to keep Japan of the 80s at the back of our mind. Its Nikkei Index peak was 1989. 34 years later with near zero interest rates, the Nikkei is still below its 1989 peak. We must avoid bubbles through policy, regulation, education, and supply of quality paper. Companies should raise equity at lower cost of capital for productive use.
2.While we must avoid tax arbitrage in debt, unless debt markets grow it will be a one legged race. The current gap on highest marginal tax rate between debt and equity of 39% and 10% is perhaps too wide.
3.Double taxation on dividends needs relook. A shareholder is like a partner. There is no additional tax when money is moved from the partnership to the partners capital account. Same principle applies to shareholders.
4. Low cost leverage through derivatives can distort financial markets. This needs attention.
https://t.co/M1heYN2OvA savers become investors the banking sector faces challenges on its deposits and cost of funds. The large corporate sector has to meaningfully move to capital markets (debt and equity) and away from banks. Banks will become distributors of corporate debt rather than storage houses. They will need to penetrate mid sized corporates, MSMEs and consumers.
6. We should avoid a retrospective tax and regulatory regime. We will need to balance developmental and regulatory role.
7. Two areas which need urgent focus for India’s aspiration are acquisition financing and streamlining of the IBC/ NCLT process.
As India aspires, the financial sector will be the key engine for delivery. Impact of technology is a separate subject of discussion for a future date. The saver/ borrower and the issuer/ investor models will coexist. It is time for a wholistic financial sector view.
