91 year old P N Sankaran has done more for Indian sport than anybody I know and I do know many people from the world of Indian sport. He played a huge role in the promotion of sports by @TataCompanies. From @BCCI cricket to basketball and from the @Olympics to the @AsianGamesOCA and the @hashcwg there are few sports or events he has not tried to develop and support through the 60+ years of his involvement with sport. Even at 91, what speaks loudly and eloquently of his behind the scenes contribution to the @TataMumMarathon from the day of the 1st Mumbai marathon is how no race of @procamintl is conducted without Mr Sankaran’s presence. I hope that the government will take note of Mr Sankaran’s selfless contribution over the years. I am fortunate to have him for a friend.
Looks like @ncbn has an ability to attract great talent. His minister for MSME, @SKondapalliOffl is Extra ordinary.. Srinivas garu Is a former IT professional who understands how tech can transform MSMEs and is committed to make it happen. When committed political leadership works with a driven bureaucracy of the kind at @apmsmedc. good outcomes are guaranteed. Thank you Vishwa garu for spending as much time with us as you did.
@MohnishPabrai is famous. Yesterday I learned that his brother runs an ice cream business. It may mot make as much money as @MohnishPabrai does from investing but it certainly brings happiness. The nalen gud ice cream
Is their most popular offering and understandably so for the happiness it brings to customers. I am told that Pabrai icecream has expanded to Mumbai where they have to contend with Naturals. But the nalen gud ice cream will certainly help them win customers and not just Bengalis alone.
While it is true that a visit to the place was sold to me on the strength of the @MohnishPabrai connection, I will return for the nalen gud icecream.
Even as late as 8 pm on a Friday evening, the Secretariat in Dispur was bustling with intense activity. The security guards of. @assampolice at the entrance tell me that many ministers and bureaucrats work late almost every day, Leading by example is the Hon’ble CM @himantabiswa who works the hardest. Looks like Lahe Lahe is a thing of the past in Assam. No wonder they had such an incredibly successful investment summit. @CMOfficeAssam Huge Congratulations.
@IndiGo6E surprised me today. All passengers on a flight diverted for reasons ostensibly outside the airline”s control were served snacks within minutes of landing at the airport to which the flight had been diverted. Nobody had to pay. Well done, Indigo.
A tale of two cities. Of 2 people in 2 cities.
@saahit in Hyderabad our marketing czar, gently persuades potential customers to ask for our product, @iris_carbon, whose development @AshishSinghvi18 leads out of Surat. Making @sanghaviharsh happy.
A product which, as G2 @Gartner_inc will tell you, ranks higher than that of our competitors.
A product that we #MakeInIndia for the world. Who says India does not make world class products. Who says good world class technology cannot come out of Gujarat? @CMOGuj@CRPaatil@Bhupendrapbjp
I reckon India have at least 10 players not playing today that would get in most other teams in the World .. they are now that strong at white ball cricket .. #ChampionsTrophy#India
Witnessed the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between Department of Industries, Trade and Commerce, Govt of Goa and IRIS Business Services Ltd in the presence of MLA & IDC Chairman Shri @ReginaldoGoa, CEO of IRIS Business Services Shri S Swaminathan and other dignitaries.
The IRIS Business Services shall Create and Develop an MSME Dashboard to help the Department of Industries, Trade & Commerce to Monitor MSMEs, and developing e Bookkeeping Services, e Inovice Services, e Marketplace for MSMEs, Delivery Solutions among others to strengthen MSMEs in the state.
Thank you Chief Minister for your support. The first chat I ever had with any state on how data can be leveraged to boost #MSME growth was with the late Manohar Parrikar. It won’t be long before every state would want to copy the #Goa model to give their own MSME ecosystem a boost. @XBRL_IRIS@dhavalikars

Ian Chappell has a problem with @bcci dominating world cricket.
He forgets that until not long ago, @ICC was controlled by the white cricketing nations with veto rights. I wonder if that was ok with him.
He forgets that when it came to divvying up the collections, TCCB @ECB_cricket shared no more than crumbs with other countries until the audacious bid put in by @bcci led to the kitty to be shared more equitably.

I believe that what makes someone an entrepreneur is a burning desire to be free. It’s not about the greed of money, it’s the pursuit of personal freedom. I don’t think you can teach that. It only shows up in about a third of the population.
Today is Netaji Subash Chandra Bose's birthday. I hope that future generations of kids will learn more about his contribution to the freedom struggle than I did in school.
