Had a great chat with Mr @ajeetbharti on the need for Make in India, why power electronics is important, and some insights for the college students as well who are interested in core engineering. Special thanks to @x_rahulraj as well
India enters the big 5 in manufacturing toppling South Korea. At current growth rates, even considering rupee depreciation, India will displace Japan to become the world's third largest manufacturer (> $1 trillion) by 2029.
Also,
1960: $3 billion -> 2015: $328 billion
2015: $328 billion -> 2025: $781 billion
So India has added as much in manufacturing in the last 10 years as it added in the last 70+ years.
India must issue notice to all Indian sailors to strike and return back to India. Let the world's shipping stall. Let's see how Trump keeps energy moving and China its exports shipping.
I have long been suggesting India create a network for Indian diaspora, of nurses and doctors, shippers and pilots, workers and constructors etc.
Every Indian going out to work from India - record their skills, put them into a database, give them a community to connect to, with GoI giving info and incentives for them there.
Use the power of this network when needed. Tap their skills if they return to India. And utilize their value outside India.
All countries will be much more respectful to India if India can unify its diaspora workers and make them act in national interests like China does.
Used Lava Agni 2 for a year, then upgraded to Lava Agni 3 and still using it. Both Really good phones, no complaints. My little daughter especially loves the small black display where the cute dog shows up. #vocalforlocal Plus Lava is in the sector 63 as me so its HYPERLOCAL ! :)
To everyone who flagged the anomalies in that image - thank you. We had spotted them too. But when something touches customer safety, we take it seriously.
Two questions became our sole focus: Was the person safe? And if something had genuinely gone wrong, where did we fail? We reached out urgently. Repeatedly. You now know what this really was.
What stands out for me in this episode is the response from our Customer care team. No panic, no shortcuts. Just a quiet, methodical focus on the facts. I couldn't be prouder. It was a powerful reflection of a culture that does the right thing even when no one is watching.
As for the motive behind this I'll leave that to others to judge. But two things are clear:
1. AI, when misused, is not a harmless tool. It can damage reputation and trust.
2. If this was a deliberate attempt at defamation, it reflects a worrying decline in standards. Competition belongs in the marketplace, in innovation, in execution, in earning the customer's trust. Not in manufactured crises.
To everyone who stood by us through this I am deeply grateful. 🙏
So where does all of this leave India?
India has started making cells, but making cells and actually understanding HOW to make better ones — that gap is still enormous.

Major Development: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has commissioned a 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat.
This is the world's largest single-location BESS deployment outside of China and was completed in 10 months.
The facility expands AGEL's operational BESS capacity at the site and can store enough energy to power nearly one million homes for a day. AGEL aims to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years.
Hinduism itself.
A billion people taught to find meaning in unity and bhakti. Imagine a billion people taught to find meaning in excellence instead.
Shed the defeatist myth that we are trapped in Kali Yuga. We aren't. It’s an excuse that rationalizes weakness as wisdom and passivity as destiny. Burn it.
Nobody is coming to liberate us, only we can do it.
The Vedic civilization wanted to conquer the world. Somewhere we forgot. We must trade the paralysis of endless abstraction and detachment for the pursuit of tangible perfection.
Stop debating the universe, start conquering it through obsessive excellence and raw beauty!
Fewer Upanishadic lectures.
More Rigvedic Samhitic fire.
The Mahabharata begins with a dog being beaten for no reason.
It ends with a dog walking a king to the gates of heaven.
Here's the story most retellings skip👇
Just in: At Hyderabad speech, PM Modi calls on citizens to use metros, opt for car pooling, & increase usage of electric vehicles amid global fuel supply issues. The Indian PM also called for work from home arrangements, urged farmers to reduce usage of chemical fertilisers
Half of the manufacturing issues in India would resolve itself if customers paid their vendors on time and not treated them as a bank overdraft facility.
Full form of noida we know
NEW OKHLA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
but OKHLA itself is an acronym so actual full form should be
NEW OLD CANAL HOUSING AND LAND AUTHORITY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
or NOCHLAIDA
Tell me a piece of trivia about your city that you think most people will not know.
Here's mine: The official name of Marine Drive in Mumbai is Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road.
