Did you just post about the glaring gender pay gap in India? The comparison between the salaries of multiple women vs just one man is staggering. Successful, C-suite women are ambitious,incredibly career driven. They aren't wasting time looking for a match in https://t.co/AAfJPaiTvx.
China's Gaokao — the world's largest exam & India's equivalent of JEE/NEET rolled into one — was conducted smoothly for 1.3 crore students in just 2 days 🎓
Factories paused. Roads quieted. The entire nation rallied for its students.
चीन की गाओकाओ — दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी परीक्षा, जो भारत के JEE और NEET का संयुक्त रूप है — को मात्र 2 दिनों में 1.3 करोड़ छात्रों के लिए सुचारू रूप से आयोजित किया गया। 🎓
कारखानों ने काम रोका। सड़कें सन्न रहीं। पूरा देश अपने छात्रों के लिए एकजुट हो गया।

@xenaslover Great interview. Similarly Aishwarya and Rekha’s old interviews show how talented and articulate they were. Also striking is none of them spoke with the horrible SOBO accent.
Rahul Gandhi is the only leader of this era speaking for ecological balance, sustainability, and a future that doesn't come at nature's cost.

Your calm, articulate, non confrontational communication skill is so refreshing to see in a leader. Country had enough of decisive politics creating ‘enemy’ mobilise people. A leader that united to find solutions to problems is what the country needs. Can we hope to see you in mainstream politics, leading from the front to be future PM of India ?
India will never produce an NVIDIA, and it has nothing to do with talent. R&D is the purest form of investment, and the central bank has spent decades making investment the dumbest thing you can do with a rupee.
I've been surfing the semiconductor wave for a while now, reading 10-Ks for fun. Spent last month in the Bay Area and the gap between India and the US is not a gap; it's a different universe. Conversations about agentic AI and the next decade of hardware, with my boomer relatives Waymo-ing around SF and self-driving home on Tesla FSD like it's normal. Nobody there thinks any of this is remarkable; they already live in the future.
NVIDIA spends nearly twice as much on R&D as every listed company in India combined. Silicon Motion, the world's leading maker of NAND flash controllers and around since 1995, ploughs 29.7% of revenue back into R&D. Micron runs 10.2%, NVIDIA 9.9%, on revenue bases that dwarf anything we have. India Inc? 0.85% of turnover, and half our listed companies report zero R&D at all.
The easy move is to lambast our promoters and the dhandomaxxing capitalist class, or the foreign MNCs running India as a glorified offshoring unit, or the babus who fund nothing useful. Satisfying. But Wrong. The reason no rational Indian founder pours money into frontier R&D is that there is genuinely no payoff at the end of it. Why?
1. R&D compounds, and compounding punishes laggards. At the edge of science a 1-2% gain is a moat; Intel spent 20+ years performing impossible physics every 24 months because Moore's Law was the business model, and that consistency makes them one of the goated companies of all time even after they got mogged recently. NVIDIA lives the same way today: invent at the limit or cease to exist. If you're 50% behind, no quantum of innovation closes that. You never touch the high end. You stay a mass-market producer of things that already exist. India is precisely there.
2. The supply side is the real thesis, and it's monetary. Two decades of high inflation, high money-printing, high nominal rates. That regime subsidises consumption and taxes patience. R&D is the longest-duration, highest-variance bet on the board; it is the first thing a 8% risk-free rate kills. Frontier R&D only ever gets funded two ways: a psychopathically risk-tolerant capitalist with cheap capital, or a state with Stalin-grade control. The USSR took agrarian peasants to the first man in space in 20 years; China built its own version. India has neither the state capacity, the political will, nor the balance sheet to do that. So nobody does it.
Talent was never the bottleneck. Capital structure was. If you want a SpaceX or a TSMC born here, you need an environment where a conglomerate can deploy $10B and sleep at night: a low-rate regime that makes long-duration investment rational, IP and patent courts that actually function, and policy that doesn't get rewritten every 2-3 years on a minister's whim. Stability is the input. Innovation is the output.
Bay Area versus Bombay, we are several universes apart, and you cannot print your way across that distance; you can only compound your way there, and we've spent years optimising for the opposite. The gap won't be bridged. With luck, it narrows.
When a new train launches, a highway gets built or an infrastructure project succeeds, the entire credit goes to one leader. But when paper leaks, unemployment or institutional failures happen, suddenly “PM can’t be blamed for everything.” You can’t centralize credit and decentralize accountability.
This content creator insta @shrutii_gaurr reportedly received a legal notice from IRCTC after publishing a video showing allegedly poor-quality food being served on a train. The video, which went viral on social media, raised concerns about hygiene standards, food quality, and passenger services on premium railway routes.
The controversy sparked online debate, with many passengers sharing similar complaints about overpriced or unsatisfactory food served during train journeys. Supporters of the creator said such videos highlight real issues faced by passengers and push authorities toward accountability and service improvement. Critics, however, argued that viral clips can sometimes present isolated incidents without full context and may negatively impact the reputation of Indian Railways and IRCTC.
IRCTC and railway authorities have previously stated that strict action is taken against catering complaints and that misleading or incomplete videos regarding railway services can create unnecessary panic or misinformation.
What is your opinion on this?
@Raptorr0s@ndtv@GaurieD@HelleLyngSvends Didn’t ask you andh Bakth. Eat less shit, so less shit comes out and pollutes the world. This is not an Indian platform. If you can’t take it leave and use an Indian chat platform.
I know you are desperately trying to hack the account but since you have failed to do so. Let me share the real data.
Why would you call 94% of Indian youth as Pakistanis?
