I support the GenZ movement catalysed by the Cockroach Janta Party.
It’s absurd to say that it is sponsored by the BJP to destroy the Congress. The BJP govt is trying its best to suppress it.
Though Dipke was with AAP, it is also absurd to say that it is an AAP startup.
Criticising a 10 day old GenZ movement for lack of ideology & well thought out policies is also misplaced.
Dipke has shown a great deal of energy, maturity & courage.
Sonam Wangchuk is a great mentor. Saurav Das is an excellent choice for a GenZ spokesman.
6 June will be an important day for our country. I remember how the arrest of Anna Hazare was the turning point of the IAC. Arresting Dipke will be a similar turning point for this GenZ movement
I find it odd when people turn businessmen into role models, and this seems to have become more common in the last 5-odd years. It's the same with idolising movie stars and sports stars. None of it should happen, really. 😀
When people come to me for advice, my first reaction is: What makes you think I'm qualified?
Just because I've gotten lucky in business, does that make me qualified to advise you on your career, your life choices, or anything apart from how to get lucky? 😀
There are startup founders, especially people working in the social sector, whom I meet through @RainmatterOrg, and I think they are far smarter and more capable of giving advice than I am.
If you still pick a role model, pick someone for a trait worth admiring in real life, not because of what they project to the outside world.
I think the government is being wrongly blamed for collapsing infrastructure, garbage on the streets, corruption, nepotism, and pollution. These are symptoms, not root causes.
The real issue is the "chalta hai" mindset - a culture where too many people refuse to take responsibility, pride in their work, or ownership of shared spaces. A society cannot outsource civic responsibility to the government.
Before asking what the government is doing, perhaps we should ask what we ourselves are doing.
IF NOT US, WHO?
IF NOT NOW, WHEN !
I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong... Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India.

One phrase to describe the Indian education system: it kills creativity and imagination. Too much memorization, too little curiosity. Too much conformity, too little critical thinking.
Anyone else forsee a future where we all collectively agree that social media reduced our average intelligence, fried our attention span and commodified truth to the most privileged? Then we start treating it like tobacco or legalized weed. Age limits, controlled dosage, health warnings. Take an algorithm designed for rewarding hate, add much much more AI….this doesn’t age well.
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
I was at a conference and an Indian uncle came up to me proudly extolling 10-minute delivery as an example of Indian innovation. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that delivering shampoo and chips faster is logistics optimization — not innovation. Innovation is creating things the world has never seen before.
1 extra kg of baggage and airline bills you exorbitantly. But 4 hours of flight delay and airline owes you nothing.
Airlines track your baggage weight to the gram. Why don’t they value your time to the hour?
If they can charge you by the gram, they must compensate you by the hour.
Today in Parliament, I asked the Civil Aviation Minister whether they are working towards a compensation framework for passengers affected by significant flight delays!
You think you’re drinking Fruit Juice? THINK AGAIN.
Big food brands are selling sugar water with shiny ‘fresh fruit’ pictures on the front. And hiding the truth in tiny fine print at the back of packet which reads ‘Pictures for marketing purposes only’. SERIOUSLY?
Today in Parliament, I called this out.
Because these misleading branding and false advertisement are pushing millions, especially kids, into diabetes and lifestyle diseases.
Time to expose the truth behind your juice box.
If leaders are cleared of charges after years of headlines, raids, and political drama, we have to ask - was this about justice or optics? How much taxpayer money, court time, and institutional bandwidth was burned chasing politics instead of fixing pollution, jobs, education, and infrastructure? Priorities matter.
