20% of global headcount. 🌐
Over 50% core engineering talent.🏭
The software brain of global automation. 🧠

While the world views India through the lens of cost-competitive shop-floor assembly, global industrial leaders are realizing something far bigger: India is writing the code that runs the world's smart factories.

Rockwell Automation CFO Christian Rothe just made it clear:
• Nearly 20% of Rockwell’s global headcount is in India.

• Over 50% of that talent is core engineering, building the automation software and controls running factories worldwide.

• India contributes more to Rockwell’s global technology than almost any other geography.

The bigger story:
automation + industrial AI is now letting Indian MSMEs cut unit costs, hit global quality standards, and become certified suppliers for world supply chains.

Rockwell has also put hard caps on AI token spend so digital transformation delivers real ROI, not runaway bills.

India is no longer just a market or an assembly base.

It’s becoming the software and control-systems operating system of global advanced manufacturing.

It’s that time of year when I break my Twitter hiatus to talk about the Annual Book & Bake Sale!

This year, we have over 5K books, and its our BEST collection yet! Everything will be sold for Rs 20-350, and the proceeds will support education for children in need.

India’s semiconductor industry is now operating at next level of depth and coverage. 𓇲

620 startups founded. ✅️
$1B raised cumulatively. ✅️
Late-stage VC funding up >3x since 2023. ✅️

In addition, 20% of the world’s chip designers already operate out of India.

The real structural shift: pure-play design services → proprietary IP + global M&A.

Key signals from MCA and Tracxn data:
• Late-stage capital inflection: $108M (2023) → $361M (2025) + $228.7M YTD 2026.

• Investor depth: First-time chip investors jumped from 12 (2021) to 80 (2024).

• M&A velocity: 68 deals in 5 years; 2026 median deal size surged to $125M.

• Architectural buy-in: Infineon bought C2i (AI power controllers). Renesas bought Steradian (radar IP). Global majors are acquiring core architecture, not just headcount.

Domestic sovereign pull (CCTV, biometrics, EV motor controllers) is providing local fabless ventures with real commercial off-takers, breaking the endless "seed-stage trap".

Fabs give physical supply-chain resilience.
Fabless IP gives enduring economic leverage.

India’s definitive moat isn’t just building the cleanroom. It is owning the architecture.

Pleasantly surprised to see this iconic photograph in @bsindia today, as part of a wonderful piece chronicling 35 years of Hyderabad’s transformation. In 1997, I had the opportunity to make a presentation to Bill Gates on why Microsoft should choose Hyderabad. That meeting eventually led to Microsoft setting up its first development centre outside the United States in Hyderabad.

The rest, as they say, is history. Hyderabad’s journey is a reminder that transformative change begins with a bold vision, backed by persistence and policy consistency over decades. I’m enclosing more pictures from the archive here -

The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵
