Two years ago, a former senior brand executive at Nike wrote:

“Nike invested a material amount of billions of dollars into something that was less effective but easier to be measured vs something that was more effective but less easy to be measured.

In conclusion: an impressive waste of money.”

Combining both a quantitative and a qualitative approach is a must. It is never a question of one over the other.

Underrated career advice: Choose to work in a place with high talent density early in your career.

You tend to rise or fall to the level of the people around you. When you work with exceptional people, you absorb their standards, pace, frameworks, and instincts almost through osmosis.

High-talent environments compress learning cycles and force you to grow faster than you would on your own. They change your opportunity set and rewire your brain. The compounding effect of a few years in that environment can change the trajectory of your life.

Early in your career, there’s probably nothing more valuable than choosing the room with the highest talent per square foot.

When starting a marketplace, focus on getting more of whichever side is rarest, which is almost always buyers rather than sellers. (If it's sellers, you've discovered a gold mine.)

Let me explain. To be successful in building consumer products, you need a culture of creativity. Hyderabad has none. You’ll struggle to find a decent copy writer, art director, a professional chef, a book shop, an art gallery, a theatre group, a sculptor, a rock band, not even a shayari mehfil.

Arts are shunned, and creativity starts and ends with Tollywood. You won’t find original thinking product based companies coming out of such an environment. VCs also give it a pass. However I’m seeing a new breed of entrepreneurs doing wonderful work in defence, space, aerospace. Maybe these entrepreneurs will define Hyderabad in the years to come.

GLM 5.2 is very underrated! Much better script outputs from it than Sonnet. Both API based. Literally at a fraction of the cost.

My friend, who owns and runs several mega farms in south east Oz and Tasmania, told me nobody in the region seeded for new crops due to the fertiliser shortage.

I’m starting to get that Feb 2020 feeling again where the western world (and markets) are asleep as to what’s about to happen.

@DaikinIndia Your service standards have been terrible these days. After 3 days, post service request BAN1704202650781415, you cancelled it and its impossible to connect with your call centre.

Sorry, does NOT cut it. Who drafted this atrocious document? How did it even pass the first cut in the internal meeting? Who drafts your policy? What is the current policy document? Why are you not making it public? How about a simple, clean, clear apology saying that you are sorry your company fu@&ed up? @peyushbansal, you don’t need to add ‘context’, you need to apologise. You company policy, as recent as Feb 2026 said explicitly that hijab was okay, but bindi/tilak/Kalawa was NOT okay. In a Hindu majority country where your customers are primarily Hindu. NEVER going to buy from @Lenskart_com EVER again. #NoBindiNoBusiness

[Shefali Vaidya. 🇮🇳 @ShefVaidya]

So I confirmed, this is genuine. This is what @peyushbansal tells his employees, hijab is okay, but bindi/tilak/Kalawa is not, for @Lenskart_com, a company that exists in Hindu majority Bharat, where most of the employees and consumers are Hindu! What do you say to this? This is page 11 of the Lenskart style guide for employees. You can find the link here. https://t.co/KOaQq9u11Y

Thirupparankundram is the First of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). The practice of lighting lamps atop the hill during the Tamil month of Karthigai is an ancient tradition of Hindus. It is sad and ironic that today the Hindus in Bharat have to seek judicial interventions to practice their faith and perform their rituals. If, even after winning a decisive legal battle, devotees cannot perform a simple, peaceful ritual on their own property, then where, in their own country, shall they truly find constitutional justice?

In short and simple, let all the Hindus in Bharat understand this - The bitter truth is - The Chennai High Court affirmed our right to light the Deepathoon - first by a single judge, then upheld by a higher bench. Legally, the battle was won. Yet, practically, we were forced to adjust.

Ask yourself - Can any religious festival be moved a week late? Can a holy day's celebration be shifted to a different time? No. Because the sanctity of religious time and the integrity of every religious calendar is non-negotiable.

Yet, for Sanatana Dharma, the moment—the sacred Karthigai Deepam—was stolen, vanished forever. Why? Because Hindus can be taken for granted. Sometimes it's the governments, sometimes it’s the executive, sometimes it’s the NGOs, sometimes it’s a random pseudo intellectual groups – but every time, it is Hindus who accept the loss and adjust. We secured the right, but lost the ritual. This repeated, systemic denial is why a time has come to demand more than just court victories - We need the Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board where devotees actively manage their own temples and religious affairs.

Mockery of Hindu traditions and rituals has become a norm for certain groups. Do they dare to do the same for other religious events?

Does Article 25 become an optional right instead of a fundamental right to the Hindus? Can a Police Commissioner or a District Magistrate unilaterally nullify a specific High Court Directive? If the High Court confirmed the Deepam lighting was a "harmless religious act" on legally owned land, who decides that this practice constitutes a threat to "communal harmony," and by what legal mechanism? How come HR&CE Department consistently and repeatedly act against the interests of Hindu devotees and their temple's traditions, and how do these officials evade serious accountability?

Hindus should observe the collective spirit and solidarity shown by practitioners of Abrahamic religions (religions of Arabian origin) when religious issues arise. They overcome their ethnic, regional, and linguistic differences for the sake of their faith.

As long as Hindus remain divided by caste, regional, and linguistic barriers, the mockery, insults, and abuses against the Hindu religion and its practices shall continue. If Hindus in our nation don't unite under a common minimum program with the collective spirit of Hindu Dharma (or Aram in Tamil), this spirit will be lost.

I hope for a day when every Hindu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kamakhya to Dwarka wakes up to the humiliation Hindus face in their own land.

I don't think people fully appreciate what it means for the Chinese government to ban Chinese companies from buying Nvidia chips.

This product is so vital to every major American tech company that tech CEOs literally beg for the opportunity to buy them from Nvidia's CEO. It is more foundational to the leading frontier of tech than even Intel was to the PC race, because you didn't need a hundred thousand Intel chips, you just needed one (or one per employee). There has never been a more critical product to tech.

And China is like, "Yeah sorry you can't buy them" to its own companies. China doesn't do things out of pride or spite, government policies are coldly rational to a fault.

Which means its domestic semiconductor industry has been determined to be more than capable of matching the needed performance and delivery at scale of anything Chinese tech firms could possibly get from Nvidia. China would never cut itself off from a core resource unless it knew it had a rock-solid alternative. This is like China saying, "Nah, we're not going to buy oil any more."

If I were to guess dispassionately as to what this means, I'd say China is already likely ahead in one or more key areas of AI but just downplaying it (as it does).
