Shocking that Kwality Walls was allowed to sell ice-cream with palm oil instead of milk in India.

From 2027, it’ll finally launch actual ice cream made from milk.

But - Shame on you, @fssaiindia for letting us eat the garbage for decades.

Will Sabeer Bhatia advise the Jews to "appreciate" the Holocaust chapter of their history?

As a matter of fact, only because the Jews remember the history and said "Never again", have they been able to build Israel and all its technological prowess and they have also revived the Hebrew language.

Bharat will do all of it - we will rebuild our great civilization, we will remember our history (Never again!) and honor the memory of our ancestors, and we will also revive our great languages.

One company I hugely admire is NPCI, and every time I use UPI, I think of their work and the massive impact! So it is an honour to do the podcast with their CEO Shri Dilip Asbe. Thank you Dilip-ji🙏

Any warmth, optimism and positivity that you have towards Chennai evaporates the moment you try catching a cab after stepping out of the airport

Because unlike most cities where you get out, open an app, book a cab and go, in Chennai you have to

Haul your luggage in the enervating heat to an overcrowded buggy stand.

Then wait for an buggy which takes an eternity to arrive.

Into which you are then stuffed like a sardine in a can and driven for 20 mins to a god forsaken "mall"

Where you again have to compete with a batallion of tired and hungry travellers and their luggage to get onto an elevator

Which will take you 3 floors up to a taxi stand where you hope there is cab available

Which will then drive you down those very three floors to take you into the city

I seriously cannot comprehend how the supposedly knowledgeable Chennai people messed up something as simple as an Airport cab pick up

All of Chennai's aspirations to be a megapolis dies in that gap between the airport arrival and that cab pickup station

A big thank you to all the finance leaders, speakers, and community members who made the Chennai edition a memorable evening of insights, collaboration, and future-focused conversations.

To someone who says you need to leave India to build something global.

Sridhar Vembu proved otherwise!!

In the upcoming episode of NPCI’s Innovators Playground, @dilipasbe speaks with @svembu, Co-founder and Chief Scientist of @Zoho, about the blueprint for building a global tech-giant from the heartland of India and much more.

Coming soon…..

You cannot understand Indian trajectory without doing three things:

1. Live abroad to see that people are fundamentally the same, with some differences of course. There is no god-given reason for any large group to be perpetually ahead of any other. If anything, scale means the larger group has an edge.

2. Read lots and lots of economic, financial and political history. And I mean lots. How others became rich. What does money mean over the ages. How did state capacity develop. How does it overlap with civilisational substrates etc

3. Not get cynical through this process of traveling and reading. Many (not all) NRIs - who are best placed to compare across nations - end up exaggerating Indian faults to rationalise their life decision. Subconsciously I maybe doing the reverse but at least not consciously.

If you travel/read a lot and go by numbers and not emotions, I think it is fairly likely you will come to the conclusion that India is an incredible growth story and investment opportunity. Of course different views exist - which is why markets exist.

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.

OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!! 🤯🙌

THE FIRST MAN IN ENTIRE HISTORY TO BREAK 2 HOURS IN A MARATHON! 🔥🔥🔥

Kenya's Sabastian Sawe broke the World Record with 1:59:30 timing at London Marathon

FOLKS, THIS IS SUCH A UNIMAGINABLE STUFF!

[Amit Thadhani @amitsurg]

For the first time, an official stand of @narendramodi govt in Supreme Court - “Govt does not want to control temples at all”.

And for the first time, the Supreme Court has directly been told that it is not competent to decide on matters of belief and practices of religious denominations and should restrict itself to matters of constitution. Even the temple entry bogey has been called out.

A day of celebration for us, who have campaigned vigorously for this since the past decade. The battle will not be over, however, until every Hindu temple is freed from control of govt, politicians and babus.

[Zoho @Zoho]

On the issue raised by FlexyPe on @ZohoBooks through social media and reported in the press: this issue was not from Zoho Books.

It was caused by incorrect payment status updates from a third-party tool that FlexyPe was using called Cashfree, which marked incomplete or dropped transactions as successful, leading to reconciliation discrepancies.

We at Zoho, have actually helped FlexyPe identify the issue and CashFree has acknowledged that the issue was on their side. The Cashfree team has publicly confirmed the issue: https://t.co/egLoRAhcWH

Unfortunately, while the investigation was still underway, FlexyPe prematurely took to social media and made a big attack on Zoho Books that was entirely false. Even after it became clear that the issue was not with Zoho, they have not retracted their falsehood. They continue to insinuate that somehow Zoho was partially at fault, which is again false.

As a result, we are compelled to pursue stringent legal action on FlexyPe for posting this malicious false claims.

False statements like these are not going to change the value we provide to our partners and customers. Thank you to all of you for standing with us and looking out for us! 🙏

A rational Pakistani video on Modi & India. And what the guy is saying applies to Indians too. Rational, unbiased, unemotional analysis of facts is important. Be it politics or geopolitics. Or reality will look different. And we will be misled into wrong thinking and decisions.

[Aravind @aravind]

In Australia, Pakistan, Thailand, petrol has run out in many of their bunks. In the US, Europe, and China petrol prices have risen up to 50%. India has so far managed so well this fuel crisis. But if the crisis continues, an increase in prices is inevitable.

Yet such timely measures by the govt to reduce duty and impose additional duty on exports definitely help. Commendable economic management during another crisis by the finance minster yet again. Crisis after crisis we have seen her keep inflation low and still deliver economic growth to a $4.5T diverse economy.

[Zoho Payments @ZohoPayments]

[Shashi Bellamkonda @shashib]

The ERP is no longer just a back office system for recording history. It is becoming the digital nervous system of the enterprise.

Live from #ZohoDay26, @isiva Sivaramakrishnan Iswaran shared a vision that should fundamentally change how CEOs and CFOs view their financial core.

For decades, the ERP was a siloed "system of record" used to reconcile what already happened. Today, that model is failing because it cannot keep up with the speed of global business.

Iswaran argues that the modern ERP must act as a system of intelligence. When your financial data is unified with your front office operations, the ERP stops being a passive ledger and starts providing real time signals.

This shift is critical for two reasons:

Resilience:

In an era of constant supply chain and economic disruption, you cannot wait for end of month reports to make decisions. You need an ERP that surfaces risks as they happen.

AI Readiness:

AI is only as good as the data it can access. A fragmented ERP prevents AI from seeing the full picture of your business health.

The strategy for the next five years is clear.

We are moving away from monolithic, rigid implementations toward flexible, unified platforms that treat every transaction as a data point for future growth.

I just published my full analyst notes on Siva Iswaran's keynote and what it means for the future of financial leadership.

Is your ERP a rearview mirror, or is it the nervous system of your company

Wow! AI working so seamlessly on the edge!

In this second example, we demonstrate a hybrid edge-cloud architecture applied to a stock broking app. The user can fetch live data, query a portfolio, execute trades, and review research all with voice processing running locally and LLMs and APIs on the cloud. We believe apps will be able to provide convenient hands-free voice experiences at super low operating costs.
