India hasn't been the first in any of the large areas in the past. We got our internet access right two decades after every one else. We skipped most of the CDMA drama and went straight to GSM+3G after the world had figured out mobile telephone way earlier. We were late to payments, but figured out a way better way to clear payments than most others.

We have been late to every new technological change, mostly because we've been loathe to invest large sums where failure is a given. Even our space and nuclear programs - where we have had to work indigenously with local research - we've taken a lot of time, to avoid major failures.

The cost of failure is not just financial in India, it's the fear of shame that runs way too deep. New nice looking road? Oh look, not enough traffic on it, shame. That rocket didn't take off? Shame on us, we should have worked harder so it wouldn't fail the first time. Failed an exam? Shame. A gap year in your resume to try something out? Shame.

This feeling is pervasive, but it's changing as we speak. As it does, India is investing into things, and we embrace failure a lot more these days. This will come from the next brand of companies that aren't afraid of failure, perhaps not so much from the older set of companies that have designed themselves to be cash flow giants. Not just IT, but in FMCG, etc. (Though in metals, we have seen massive risk being taken)

There are companies that have transformed themselves through very large risk oriented projects - the biggest company in India is one. But I believe technological risk will be taken by startups and will be funded by people in the space who've seen what risk can produce, through successful exits in ESOPs or as founders from companies in otherwise boring spaces.

We've lacked that capital really, because otherwise capital has been preserved in large families - risk taking is obviously stunted there as preservation takes a larger role in their future. Now that the first gen capital is more, expect some of this to happen. And no, I don't think the government should play this role (they can help by deregulating business) - it's private capital that should fund the next big thing. From the people that don't consider it shameful to fail.

जेंव्हा USD to INR 60 च्या पुढे गेला तेंव्हा मोदींनी सरकार वर हल्लाबोल करून PM मनमोहन सिंग यांना हैराण केले होते. राहुल गांधींकडे कितीतरी मुद्दे आहेत ज्यावर ते मोठे आंदोलन उभे करून सरकारला नाकीनऊ आणू शकतात. ते सोडून sky diving आणि ट्रेक करत बसलेत. आणि तुम्हाला त्या गोष्टींचे कौतुक. व्वा.

@NomadTrending @Rajiv1841 Staying calm, bowling changes, incredible catches, keeping the spirits high. Leadership does matter. I believe Surya captained the team well. I wouldn't remove him just yet. He is a destructive batter.

@Hyderabadi2911 Govt did raise taxes when Crude prices were downhill.

[Dipak Chavan 🇮🇳 @dipakdmc]

@Sanju_Verma_ Govt does benefit during crude price downturn where they increase taxes.

[Dipak Chavan 🇮🇳 @dipakdmc]

@Sanju_Verma_ Central govt should allow petroleum prices be dictated by market dynamics. Let those be reduced when crude prices go down. If they can increase taxes during crude price downturn, they should reduce taxes during crude price upsurge.

[Samhita @Samhitab4u]

People of India have taken a hit of 30 lakh crore when crude was under $80 by paying a higher price.

Most service providers on UC quote high charges & give their personal number to offer the service outside UC app. Same experience with Uber & Rapido on cab hire. Something aggregator app companies to think of. In Singapore, cab owners strictly work through Grab. Why are we like this?

[Dipak Chavan 🇮🇳 @dipakdmc]

@sahilbhadviya That's the pain. Petrol & Diesel price will not go down. Taxes will increase. Benefits don't pass down but costs do.

@PatakotaV @StarHealthIns Even Doctors are recommending NOT to have health Insurance from Star Health. What an ugly reputation this is!

[Dipak Chavan 🇮🇳 @dipakdmc]

@spinesurgeon If 4.5X is not enough, how many times is enough? There's no upper limit then. Govt has a mandate on per km rate. Apps have surge pricing mechanism. Captains see what is higher and demand that. They are inconsistent in their approach.

[Dipak Chavan 🇮🇳 @dipakdmc]

@HelleLyngSvends Agree PM can & should have press conferences but his ministers do. PM having press conferences is not a measure of good or bad democracy. PM gets abused everyday by some or the other group. He never indulges in arguments on those. His silence is not his weakness. That's the way he works while ministers and secretaries interface press. He addresses the nation when it matters. That works.
