“The battlefields of Europe and West Asia have shown that there are no superpowers left,” @samirsaran tells @smitaprakash and @ishaan_ANI in a thoughtful conversation.
On Jamnagar: “India is to refining what Taiwan is to semiconductors.”

FROM SEWER TO SPACE- WHAT CREDIBLE LEAP

Our Anjani Mashelkar Prize winner, Genrobotics, began with a profound mission- eradicating manual scavenging. 👇

Their 'Bandicoot' innovation doesn't just save lives in the sewers; it restores human dignity by training sanitation workers to become highly skilled robot operators.👇

The scale of their journey today is staggering:
•Deployed across 19+ Indian states and expanding to multiple countries
•Just won a massive water infrastructure contract in Singapore, beating 600 global competitors
•Partnered with ISRO to engineer advanced robotic boom arms for space satellites!👇

We couldn't be prouder to have championed them when they were just beginning their flight.

Join us as we back the next great breakthrough at the 2026 Anjani Mashelkar Prize ceremony on November 17th. 👇

Just back from meetings with Sovereign Funds, Endowments, Family Offices & Pension Funds across the US & Canada over the last two weeks.

Spoke on India Opportunities at the TIFF conference in Boston.

Key takeaways:
• India remains firmly on global investors’ radar
• Strong AI trade over last two years led to some reallocation away from India (higher valuations + easy exit)
• Resilience of the Indian economy stood out despite US tariffs, supply-chain disruptions, higher oil & below-average monsoon
• Strong India Inc. earnings have made valuations ~30% cheaper over two years — now looking fair to global investors
• Lower oil + potential AI trade reversal + corrected valuations = interesting setup

Reminded of Birbal’s story: when King Akbar asked to make a line bigger without touching it, he drew a smaller line underneath.

India is looking better on a relative basis . With Russia a no-go, South Africa struggling, Brazil’s election outcome unnerving investors, and China delivering profitless growth.

Hoping the next Samvat we grow our line bigger than everyone else.

[Monika Halan 🇮🇳 @monikahalan]

The one lesson older investors have learnt that the new ones learnt this time round is this: don't listen to the daily news cycle or the doom stories about markets. Don't listen to the bull run and doubling of returns stories about markets.

Investing in risk is not a sure thing, but if done right, it keeps your money ahead of taxes and inflation.

Happy Diwali!

[Sri Aurobindo @integralyog]

A divine life in a material world implies necessarily a union of the two ends of existence, the spiritual summit and the material base.

Congratulations, Harsh.

Well done!

Incredible set of results so far. With nearly 70% of results in for the Nifty 500, median profits are up 21.4% year on year (for the Sep 2026 quarter).

With the House and Senate gone, #Trump is a lame duck at home and could be facing impeachment. Other countries need to watch out; FP is where he still rules largely alone. What he loses in #Washington, the world may pay for. Can Congress restrain him abroad? 🤔

[Monika Halan 🇮🇳 @monikahalan]

Many people I know are curious about @integralyog philosophy.
For those wanting to do a deep dive, this course is a great place to begin.
I personally know @devdip who is running the course.
Can't recommend it enough!
