An interesting parallel to the FMCG sector in India.
Lot of D2C brands with new product proposition and new packaging got love from Indian consumers. Same pinched the established biggies! What next, smaller players bought in their fold and moved on.
Similar strategy? Not sure
Neha Bora delivered a fiery speech standing alongside INDIA bloc leaders 🔥
The BJP can so easily compromise on the Constitution and democracy because it played no role in laying the foundations of India’s democracy. 🔥🇮🇳✊🏽
Elon, you've officially run out of arguments. Now every Indian who disagrees with you is "Ambani's shill."
Nobody said Starlink is too strong. Nobody's scared of your competition. India's problem is you. A Pentagon contractor building Trump's Golden Dome wants to run internet over Indian soil, and he throws a tantrum every time someone asks who holds the off switch.
Ambani's de facto monopoly?
You SIGNED A DEAL with that monopoly in March 2025 to sell Starlink in India. You didn't have a problem with Ambani when he was your reseller.
You only discovered his monopoly when Jio announced its own satellites.
And let's talk about hypocrisy.
Tesla's biggest factory is in Shanghai. Starlink is banned in China. Have you ever called Xi Jinping a monopolist?
Called Chinese critics shills? Written a sarcastic letter to Prime Minister Xi?
No.
Because Beijing would shut your factory by Monday. India can't, so India gets the insults.
now the math your own fans keep posting starlink could add 100–200 million Indian homes. Starlink is approved for 600 Gbps over India. Split across 100 million homes, that's 6 kilobits per second each. Your revolution is slower than a 1998 dial-up modem. 🤡
If it's too expensive, no one will buy it.
Your own India website showed ₹8,600 a month. A Jio plan costs ₹349. Indians already ran the numbers.
Five days of meltdown. Crime against India. Prime Minister Ambani. collages. And now shills.
The richest man on earth, crying on his own app because a sovereign country wants a security check.
Sit down, elon. Finish the paperwork. India isn't a tesla shareholder you can bully on X.

@Olacabs — SHAMEFUL handling of a serious passenger safety complaint.
Your driver Shahbaz (MH01EM2074) allegedly demanded payment twice after the trip and threatened to physically harm my son when he refused.
The fare was ₹392 but was forced to pay twice. This is NOT a payment dispute. This is a passenger safety issue.
And what does Ola do? Close my complaint repeatedly without resolving it.
Are you protecting your drivers or your passengers?
I want an immediate investigation, written explanation and action against the driver.
A company that cannot protect its passengers has no business claiming passenger safety.
@Flipkart@flipkartsupport@HeroMotoCorp placed an order but no update or no of dealer I can reach out to. Among all this, getting ping on WhatsApp for downloading app but no vehicle details, WhatsApp chat says I don’t have an order & sms asks to review buying process!! HELP

“Some stories should not be scrolled past. This is one of them.
Col Anurag Upadhyay scored in the 99th percentile in CAT. He could have chosen a corporate career. He chose the Indian Army instead.
He volunteered for the Special Forces, completed probation with 3 PARA (SF), and joined the raising team of 12 PARA (SF). Even after a heart attack in 2008, he returned to active duty.
In August 2025, he suffered a severe posterior circulation stroke. Today, he has Locked-in Syndrome. His body has been severely affected. His mind has not.
He is conscious and aware. He remembers. He thinks. Through eye movements and alphabet-based scanning, he communicates his thoughts. Further complications resulted in bilateral below-knee amputations.
This post is not asking for sympathy. It is asking for possibility.
His family knows what the medical literature says. They are not asking for promises. They believe no credible possibility should remain unexplored because the right expert was outside their network.
They seek connections to:
• Neurologists and neuro-rehabilitation specialists experienced in Locked-in Syndrome
• Rehabilitation centres focused on neurological recovery
• Researchers exploring recovery of movement, speech or other functions
• Research and emerging technologies, including brain-computer interfaces
• Eye-tracking and assistive technology that could give Anurag a more independent voice
• Veteran organisations or individuals who can open the right doors
Someone reading this may know a doctor who has treated a similar patient, a rehabilitation team that has seen a different outcome, a relevant researcher—or someone who can make the right introduction.
His prognosis should be determined by medicine and how his body responds—not by a lack of information, access or connections.
Please make a connection if you can. DM “Tales Of A Gypsy” on Instagram. If you cannot, share this until it reaches someone who can.
No sympathy. Just one question: What more is possible for Col Anurag ?
Let us help him find out”

Prayers 🙌For You- Brother Anurag ❤️
Md Hidayatullah was Chief Justice of India, Vice President of India, and twice acting President.
Nobody else in Indian history has worn all three hats.
But the wildest part of the story isn't even his own résumé.
It's who's sitting in his family tree. 🧵

Every EV, every solar storage system, every phone battery on Earth runs on lithium and India has almost none of it domestically.....
Lithium, cobalt, nickel all imported, all subject to global price swings and geopolitical chokepoints, the exact same vulnerability with rare earth magnets.
Dr. Vilas Shelke and Dr. Manjusha Shelke, a husband-wife scientist duo, founded a company called Rechargion Energy in 2021. Rechargion is trying to make that dependency optional by building battery cells that need none of those three metals at all.
Dr. Manjusha Shelke is also a Chief Scientist at CSIR's National Chemical Laboratory, India's premier government chemistry research institute.
This is not a garage startup pivoting into hardware, it is an official spin-off from NCL, built directly on the work of Shelke's own research group, which is why the science checks out rather than being marketing.
Sodium-ion batteries using sodium instead of lithium as the ion that moves and stores charge....
The company has patented its own hard carbon anode material, proprietary electrode materials, and sodium compounds, and this is the elegant part.....
The sodium is derived from seawater and aluminium, 2 things India has in near-infinite domestic supply, unlike lithium.
Rechargion's cells have demonstrated a cycle life of 10,000 charge cycles translating into a potential battery life of 25+ years. A typical lithium-ion EV battery today lasts ~8-10 years before serious degradation.
This is claiming ~3x that, using metals that do not need to be imported at all.
Why it is credible, not just a claim....
- In August 2025, the Automotive Research Association of India ran an independent 2 month evaluation of Rechargion's cells at its Chakan testing centre covering vibration, mechanical shock, crushing, high-temperature endurance, short circuit, overcharge, and forced discharge, under the international IEC 62660 protocol.
- Rechargion became the 1st company in India to achieve IEC 62660 compliance for sodium-ion batteries, independent, govt body verified safety testing, not a startup's own lab claims.
Rechargion is almost entirely non-VC, which is itself telling, support has come from the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries, the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, Tata Power-backed Social Alpha, ARAI, Venture Centre Pune, and Rice University, Houston.
This is patient, institutional, science-first capital, not hype-chasing venture money.
A pilot plant installed in 2024 is already producing 10 Ah capacity cells, and the company is now building a facility to scale to 500 cells per day, moving from lab research into actual commercial manufacturing with an initial focus on India's massive electric two and three-wheeler market.
Why this matters for Bharat...
India's entire EV ambition currently rests on a mineral India does not have. If sodium-ion chemistry proves out at scale, the country's electric mobility future stops depending on lithium mines in Australia and Chile and starts depending on seawater and aluminium resources India actually controls.
A husband-wife scientist team out of a Pune government lab, quietly building the battery chemistry that could make India's EV revolution genuinely self-reliant. 🙏🙏
🇮🇳 Minamarg Check Post Incident | Ladakh Sector
A video from the Minamarg (Minimarg) check post has circulated showing a tourist arguing with security personnel over a temporary road restriction.
The Indian Army, in coordination with local police and civil administration, implements such measures as a routine and essential part of anti-terrorism and security operations in this highly sensitive high-altitude border region near the LoC.
Road closures, cordons, and regulated movement are standard when:
• Intelligence or operational requirements demand a search/cordon to neutralise potential threats
• Weather, landslides, or convoy movements require safety clearances
• The safety of residents, tourists, and troops must be prioritised
These are not arbitrary or “anti-tourist.” They exist precisely so that civilians, including tourists can travel safely in an area that has historically faced infiltration and terror risks.
Compromising a security protocol for individual convenience could endanger dozens of lives.
To the individual in the video and similar voices:
Being “Gen Z” (or any generation) is not a qualification, a badge of entitlement, or a licence to disregard security protocols. National security does not pause for slogans, tax receipts, or generational self-identification.
Comparing legitimate operational restrictions to “locking Kashmiris” is both factually misleading and disrespectful to the forces who protect every citizen, Kashmiri, tourist, or otherwise in this challenging terrain.
Threatening Parliament while creating a public confrontation at a sensitive post does not strengthen democracy; it risks operational security.
We urge all visitors and residents:
Support these measures. They are conducted for your safety and the nation’s security. Patience and cooperation save lives.
The Army and police work hand-in-hand daily so that tourism and normal life can continue in J&K and Ladakh.
Respect the uniform. Respect the protocol. Respect the reality of the frontier.

A 20-year-old Delhi techie, Aryan Nishad, has launched https://t.co/rlW7xL7nnF, a platform where citizens can anonymously report bribe demands.
Users can log the amount, location, department and the service involved. These reports build a public database that exposes bribery patterns across government offices in India.
The site even helps people turn their reports into formal complaints for anti-corruption authorities.
The response has been huge, 25 lakh requests in just 10 hours.
Anupam Mittal called it a potential game-changer for governance and accountability.
One simple website is giving common citizens the power to document corruption and make it visible.
Note: These are crowdsourced allegations, not confirmed proof against any official.
