Every winter, Delhi’s air gets heavier. Kids cough through the night, and elders find it hard to breathe.

Then the sky fills with crackers, and more smoke goes into air that’s already stuck over the city.

Celebration should lift people up, not choke them.

CEF is turning Dal Lake’s weed into organic manure, changing the face of the lake and of Srinagar.

A first for India, and it needs to happen in many more places.

We’re ready to take up your challenge, sir @anandmahindra.

India generates lakhs of tonnes of waste every day. Most of it is never processed.
India doesn’t lack solutions. It lacks systems that stick.

India isn’t a straightforward buy-sell market. It has its own way of accepting products and services, at the policy level and the consumer level.

Consumer sentiment plays a big role here.

Maybe you just haven’t had the right team to crack it yet..

Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are …

This is a crime against the people of India!

Renewables are scaling fast, but coal still keeps the lights on. India's transition will be won by pragmatism, not slogans.
My part of the answer: turn waste into fuel. Every tonne of biomass converted into Bio-CNG is a tonne of imports we don't need.

Dear Cockroaches, You're missing one very important point.
Govt school teachers have spent the last 4–5 months on SIR duty, going door to door as BLOs instead of teaching.
Syllabus incomplete.
Kids paying the price.
Who answers for the lost classroom time?

I spoke on the #TheFoundersDream podcast about something I've believed for 12 years: India doesn't have a waste problem.
It has a value problem. Every tonne we dump is energy, fuel, and soil health we're choosing to lose.

As per published toll/traffic data, around 60,000 vehicles use the Gurugram–Faridabad State Highway every day.

Yet accumulated dust, sludge, soil, construction debris and stench are being left alongside the road impacting the two-wheeler riders, cyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers the most.

This photograph was taken by a commuter at 9:13 AM on 21 September 2026, just outside the Bandhwari landfill site.

📍 Bandhwari, Haryana
📍 28.41083° N, 77.16761° E

This is simply unacceptable, particularly when rules exist and government agencies are responsible for enforcement. These are public roads infact Highways not private property. @NHAI_Official

Please urgently inspect this exact location, identify responsibility for the waste, sludge and debris, ensure immediate removal and proper dust suppression, we await an ATR.

A clean, safe road is a basic necessity for the tens of thousands of people who use this corridor every day.

@RaoNarbir ji FYI and action please. 🙏

There's a version of leadership no slide deck can teach you.

It comes from staying close to the problem, not directing it from a distance.

.You can't solve what you haven't understood closely and that understanding never comes from a report. It comes from the ground.

[Maninder Singh Nayyar @maninder_msn]

Something I've been advocating since 2014 just came alive as a movie: The India Story.

Pesticide overuse and unchecked chemicals have quietly compromised our food for decades. The film just holds up a mirror.

Watch it for perspective.

23rd July: birth anniversary of two men who never met, Tilak Ji, who fought with words, and Azad Ji, who fought with refusal.

As young people fill our streets again today, asking questions institutions seem reluctant to answer, I wonder why courage still looks the same.

[Maninder Singh Nayyar @maninder_msn]

The 20th July march is a reminder: when people feel unheard long enough, they find louder ways to say it.

No comment on policy or party. Just a belief that real communication, both ways, is what keeps any relationship from reaching this point.

[Maninder Singh Nayyar @maninder_msn]

When the system turns on the people fixing it, you know something is deeply broken.
We'll keep doing the work anyway.

After 1857, the British made a calculated decision to keep India divided along religious lines, and it will never find the strength to rise as one.
What's unsettling? This strategy outlived its architects.

[Maninder Singh Nayyar @maninder_msn]

Let's honour what Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Kartar Singh Sarabha and countless unnamed others gave everything for.
Let nationalism be the only religion we practise.
