Most Indians have not heard of Persistent Systems.

That is a shame, because every Indian should know what happened this weekend.

Let me explain everything from the beginning.

Persistent Systems is an Indian software company founded in Pune in 1990 by Dr. Anand Deshpande.

He started it after doing his PhD at Indiana University, came back to India, and built a technology company from scratch.

For most of its existence, Persistent was a mid-size player that did not get the same attention as TCS, Infosys, or Wipro.

Today, Persistent is recognised as the fastest-growing IT services brand globally in 2026. They have had 24 consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth.

So, for six straight years, every single quarter has been bigger than the one before it. That kind of consistency is extremely hard to pull off in any business.

Now, they did something that has almost never happened before in Indian tech.

An Indian IT company just launched a takeover bid for a publicly listed German company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Persistent is offering 81 euros per share to buy Nagarro SE, which works out to approximately 1.1 billion euros.

And they are paying 140 percent above Nagarro's share price the day before the deal was announced. That is how badly they want this company, and how confident they are in what the combined business will be worth.

So what does Nagarro actually do and why does Persistent want it so badly?

Nagarro is headquartered in Munich, Germany. They have 18,500 employees across 40 countries and generated 1 billion euros in revenue in 2025.

Their biggest clients include four of the top five European automotive manufacturers. So BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz type companies.

These are some of the most demanding engineering clients in the world.

Nagarro builds the software that goes inside these companies.

> The dealer management software.
> The supply chain tools.
> The digital interfaces that a BMW engineer uses when designing a new model.

This kind of deeply embedded enterprise software work is extremely difficult to replace once it is in place. These are long relationships measured in decades, not years.

That is why this deal makes strategic sense for Persistent.

Before this deal, only 9 percent of Persistent's revenue came from Europe. After this acquisition closes, that number jumps to 22 percent.

Right now, Persistent earns most of its money from North American clients, which means it is heavily exposed to whatever happens in the US economy.

If US companies cut tech spending, Persistent hurts.

Adding a strong European base changes that. Your revenue is now spread across two of the world's largest economies.

The combined company will have $2.9 billion in annual revenue and more than 46,000 employees across 40 countries. Of those, 37,000 plus will be in India.

So an Indian company, built by an Indian founder, that now employs 37,000 Indians and just bought a German company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

For most of the last 30 years, the story of Indian IT was that we sent engineers to do work that Western companies needed done cheaply.

Good work, real work, but fundamentally in a support role. You came to us because we were affordable and skilled.

But now with Persistent buying Nagarro, Coforge buying Encora for $2.35 billion, TCS buying Coastal Cloud, Infosys buying Optimum Healthcare IT, Indian IT companies going out and buying Western companies for their client relationships, their market presence, and their technology capabilities.

We are the buyers now. :)

दोन दिवसांआधी मातोश्री वर खासदारांची एक बैठक आयोजित केली होती. @rautsanjay61 बैठकीत आल्या आल्या खासदारांना बोलले, "आलात का रे भोस*च्यानो?"

सर्व खासदार एक सुरात बोलले, "हो साहेब?".

एका खासदाराला भोस*च्या हा शब्द खटकला म्हणून तो लगेच उद्धव साहेबांकडे बघून बोलला, " साहेब हा शब्द संसदीय नाही?"

तेवढ्यात संजय राऊत मधेच उठून उभा राहला आणि त्या खासदाराला म्हणाला, " अरे तू ये*झवा आहे. बरं का... तुझ्या सारख्या चु*या माणसाला शिवसेनेत राहण्याचा अधिकार नाही. हे मी ऑनरेकॉर्ड बोलतोय."

तो खासदार मोठ्या आशेने उद्धव साहेबांकडे पहायला लागला. त्याला वाटलं साहेब काहीतरी बोलतील... संजय राऊत ला समज देतील. पण साहेब काहीच बोलले नाही. शेवटी तो खासदार तिथून तडक निघून गेला.

तेव्हा लगेच दुसरा खासदार उद्धव साहेबांकडे पाहून बोलला, "साहेब थांबवा त्याला!"

राऊत: "अरे हरामखोरा तुला पण जायचं असेल तर जा."

तिसरा खासदार बोलला, " साहेब आपली भाषा योग्य नाही."

राऊत: " तू असं गांडू सारखं बोलू नको. हरामखोर म्हणजे नॉटी."

हा वाद वाढतोय अस दिसताच @OfficeofUT मधेच बोलले, " आपण ईथे यासाठी आलो आहोत की ऑपरेशन टायगर करून तुम्हाला शिंदे गटात घेऊन जाण्याचा प्रयत्न चालू आहे. आपण सर्व मर्द आहोत, आई भवानीची लेकरं आहोत. निधड्या छातीने आपण संकटाना सामोरे जाऊन मावळ्या सारखे लढू. असे कित्येक अफजल खान आपण या मातीत गाडले आहेत. आपल्या पाठीत जे खंजीर खुपसण्याचा प्रयत्न करतील त्यांना मी सांगेल छातीवर वार करा.... दिल्लीच्या आणि गुजरातच्या तख्तासमोर मी झुकणार नाही.

एक खासदार मनातल्या मनात बोलला, " साहेब तुम्ही अंबानीच्या लग्नात सहकुटुंब जाऊन नाचता आणि कार्यकर्त्यांना सांगता झुकू नका."

शेवटी अर्धा तास टोमणे मारल्यावर ठाकरे म्हणाले, "तुम्ही सगळे शपथ घेऊन सांगा की तुम्ही माझी साथ सोडणार नाही."

सगळे खासदार एका सुरात बोलले, ", साहेब, संजय राऊत ची शपथ घेऊन सांगतो आम्ही तुम्हाला सोडणार नाही." अस म्हणून ही मीटिंग तिथेच संपली.

The only thing GOI needs to do to beat this IT myth is,
1. PM and respective state CM visit IIT Bombay, Madras, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, IISc Banglore.
2. Hold meeting with Director and HOD of their computer science department.
3. Ask the Director and HoDs for AI models, Social media app to be built from scratch.
4. No Bureaucracy involved. Time bound projects.
5. No funding issues.

I can bet within 2 years we shall have enough LLM models and social media apps to beat the west.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

To understand the depth and breadth of what Prime Minister Modi has achieved, we must remember what he inherited.

The Congress Party had a disastrous flirtation with Soviet style socialism (and the word "socialist" is still there in our Constitution, thanks to Indira Gandhi). With the Soviet collapse, India faced bankruptcy and the Congress switched to the Washington consensus, Davos-style globalism. To be fair to them, it looked reasonable in 1991, and people like me supported it, but far deeper thinkers like Gurumurthy saw that Davos globalism also as a dead-end. It met its end in the Global Financial Crisis 2008-9.

Modi's Swadeshi philosophy has achieved the balance of building up our capability while also earning the respect of the world. Like all great transformations, it takes time.

My prayers for his good health because so much work lies ahead 🙏

🚨 "Never invade Russia in winter 🇷🇺
Never attack India by Twitter 🇮🇳"

All those handles posting "NVIDIA bigger than India" are pushing a narrative which is pure misleading hype. Here's the important context they ignore: 👇🏻

• Nvidia’s ~$5 trillion market cap is just a stock valuation based on future AI bets, not cash, not revenue, not real economic output.

• India’s nominal GDP is projected at $4.15 trillion in 2026, actual production, services, and goods created by 1.4 billion people.

• Nvidia’s annual revenue is only around $216 billion. One company’s sales don’t dwarf a sovereign nation’s entire economy.

🇮🇳 India is one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies (6.5% real growth), with surging manufacturing, strong services, massive infrastructure push, a young demographic dividend, and rock-solid domestic demand.

A chipmaker’s share price is not “bigger” than India’s real economy.
This clickbait nonsense won’t change India’s rise.

@Praval @Zoho Zoho in Nagpur. Nice.

[Praval Singh @Praval]

It's a big day for us here at @Zoho! We've been quietly building something since 2020.

We run Zoho on Zoho. Now that includes the hardware too. A server, designed by our engineers in Nagpur. Owned entirely in India.

We're calling it Nathu La, and it's live inside Zoho's own data centres.

Here's what made this feel different from our usual product launches:

The team that built it started as freshers. No experienced hardware talent in Nagpur. We ran a programme, hired from engineering colleges, and gave them a problem to solve over five years.

The result: 20-30% lower cost of ownership, 12-18% lower power consumption, and more importantly, critical for something that's now foundational to running AI workloads.

We're at a few hundred servers today. Targeting 2,000 by end of year. What does "owning the stack" mean for a software company in 2025?
