India has the among the lowest data prices in the world. It is so good that I don't even bother to connect to local Wifi when I travel in India and just tether my phone to work on my computer. Indians routinely have dual SIM phones with large data plans because they are so affordable. Ambani's launch of Jio is directly responsible for the low data prices Indians enjoy.

India has among the lowest drug prices in the world (and going lower still). People who visit India buy medicines to take home quite regularly now.

India has among the lowest cost payment systems in the world in UPI.

On the other hand, Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in the US market, keeping EV prices higher in America than elsewhere.

Prime Minister Modi has worked hard to create a competitive economy where the benefits flow to the average Indian. His government does not tolerate monopolies. He has also actively promoted and encouraged a massive surge in startups and that is the best signal of a highly competitive economy.

Directly due to Modi government policy, Indian startups are making major advances in low cost rockets and that poses a threat to SpaceX the same say the Chinese EVs threaten Tesla.

These are the facts Elon.

कैप्टन स्मित मच्छार जैसे वीर देश की शान हैं। माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी का उनसे स्वयं संवाद करना हर देशवासी के लिए गर्व का क्षण है।

देश के वीरों के लिए प्रधानमंत्री जी का नेतृत्व और प्रेरणा कितनी महत्वपूर्ण है, यह इस संवाद से स्पष्ट होता है। जब देश साथ हो, तो हौसले कभी नहीं झुकते।

You cannot go to Kargil and shout at our men in uniform that I pay taxes.

Go and tell that to mother of Captain Vikram Batra. She will ask you to take your money and give her son back 💔

Destroyed the Cockroach mindset.

Take a bow @smritiirani 🔥

94 out of every 100 Ather buyers pay Rs 14,000 to Rs 20,000 extra to get software features like Google Maps, voice commands, pothole alerts, and auto-hold on their scooter

That is not some niche add-on, Almost everyone buying it says yes. This software money, called non-vehicle revenue, now makes up 14% of what Ather earns. It grew 103% in single year.

That extra income is what helped Ather turn operating profitable for first time ever in Q1 FY27. Scooter brings customers in. Software keeps margins alive.

Ather and Hero are trying 2 different ways to make money from software on electric scooters. Ather charges Rs 14,000 to Rs 20,000 at purchase for its tech pack.

Hero charges Rs 999 per year for VIDA Edge subscription with navigation, remote controls, and vehicle health data. Ather gets big money upfront. Hero gets smaller payments every year but builds ongoing revenue as scooters stay on road.

Both prove same point - Margins in EV 2-wheelers come from paid software, not better motors or cheaper batteries

EV scooters crossed 10% of all 2-wheeler sales in India for first time in June 2026. Ather delivered 2.39 lakh units in FY26, growing 83%. Hero VIDA delivered 1.44 lakh, growing 196%.

At that volume, software revenue adds up fast. If 94% of 2.39 lakh Ather buyers pay Rs 14,000 to Rs 20,000 for tech packs, that is roughly Rs 170 Cr just from software per year.

TVS with SmartXonnect and Bajaj with TecPac run similar connected platforms but have not shared how much they earn from them yet

After Gurugram's latest flooding, author-columnist Suhel Seth launched a citizens' campaign against urban civic failures and asked people to send documented evidence. The appeal drew support from prominent personalities like Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, who said that the campaign should grow into a national movement, stressing the role of citizens, apart from that of governments.

Every single day, at a height of 214 feet, a priest fearlessly climbs the Jagannath Temple in Puri without ropes or any safety equipment to change the flag

Missing this ritual would mean closing the temple for 18 years

Dhwaja Parivartan is an 1800 year old ritual, this tradition is older than many religions

न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारि।
व्यये कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम्॥

Meaning:
Knowledge (vidyā) cannot be stolen by thieves, nor taken by a king (or government), nor divided among brothers, nor does it burden the bearer.
When spent (shared or used), it only grows every day.
Thus, the wealth of knowledge is the supreme among all forms of wealth.

Such was the Frustration

People in Flight are celebrating West Bengal Win!

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

The surge of relief and elation among Bengalis following Mamata’s ouster mirrors the scenes that unfold after an Arab dictator is toppled, and reveals just how bankrupt our democratic institutions have become, allowing dictators to thrive under the cover of democracy.

My views:

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Since childhood, we trade today for a “better tomorrow”, often chasing things we don’t even value. Don’t bet your happiness on success. Success also needs luck along with effort. Keep in mind, happiness isn’t having what others have, it’s appreciating what is yours.

यह सारा शर्मा है, यह दिल्ली यूनिवर्सिटी के दौलतराम कॉलेज में पढ़ती हैं।

कल इनको Ministry of Youth Affairs के एक प्रोग्राम में बुलाया गया, जिसका 'टॉपिक नारी शक्ति वंदन अधिनियम' था।

सारा का कहना है कि 👇

* जब मैं वहां पहुंची तो तब मुझे felicitation के लिए कहा गया था जैसे ही मैं मंत्री मनसुख मांडविया को felicitate करने के लिए बढ़ीं तभी एक अधिकारी ने रोक दिया. उनका कहना था कि आप स्लीवलेस सूट पहनी है आप नहीं कर सकती।

* जबकि वहां पर ज्यादातर महिलाओं ने साड़ी, सूट और स्लीवलेस सूट पहना हुआ था।

* यहां तक कि वहां पर मौजूद कुछ अधिकारियों ने कहा कि - महिलाएं इसलिए आगे नहीं बढ़ पा रहीं, क्योंकि वो घंटे-घंटे भर तो फोटो ही क्लिक करवा रही हैं.

Privileged to have been closely associated with so many of her timeless songs through HMV. Asha Bhosale had a phenomenal vocal range, effortlessly moving across genres, generations, and emotions.

There is so much Jay Shah in the video that a better soundtrack would have been the hit song from Qurbani - "Aap Jay Shah Koi..."
