Winning against the Chinese. In China.

Power. Speed. Grace. Commitment.
But above all, teamwork.
This clip has it all.
I’m watching it on loop.
More of this please. 🇮🇳
The absolute horror of the Siya-Ketan incident lies in the sickening asymmetry between them: Ketan’s pure, almost childlike innocence paired against Siya’s hollow, predatory sociopathy.
Four days before he died, Siya had already tried to murder him by shoving him off a cliff. Ketan survived only because a stray tree branch broke his fall. But he was so hopelessly, blindly in love that he swallowed her absurd lie whole, she claimed she saw a snake and panicked, pushing him away to "protect" him.
Instead of feeling suspicion, Ketan felt profound gratitude. He hugged his near-executioner, thanked her for saving his life, and proudly recounted the story to his mother and relatives. The entire family praised Siya as a hero.
To possess even a shred of humanity means you would be crushed by guilt after such an act. Watching a completely innocent person, someone whose only crime was loving you blindly, thank you for attempting to end his life should break a normal human psyche.
But Siya is a different breed of monster. Looking at Ketan’s grateful smile, she didn't feel remorse; she felt irritation. Her only regret was her own poor execution. She didn't see a human being; she saw unfinished business. Four days later, she lured him right back to the edge of that same cliff. This time, she brought reinforcements, her boyfriend. Together, they finished what she had started. Imagine the horror and betrayal Ketan would have faced in last few seconds of his life!
Siya has forfeited her right to exist in a civilized society. Yet, under our flawed justice system, she will likely walk free in ten to fourteen years. She will go on to build a comfortable, quiet life with her accomplice or some new, unsuspecting victim, completely unburdened by an ounce of remorse, carrying the secret of Ketan's final, terrified moments like a casual memory.

This is an absolute masterclass by @anandmahindra on why the "ordinary" disposable lighter is a marvel of manufacturing and cluster economics.
The fact that China’s Shaodong county controls 70% of the world's supply by shaving thousandths of a cent off components within a 20km radius is exactly the benchmark we have to beat.
Mr. Mahindra, we aren't waiting for accidents. We are doing it on purpose. 🇮🇳
At Crackit, our entire mission is to completely Indianise the lighter industry and build that very ecosystem here.
Here is our ground-reality progress report:
80% Localized Already: We have successfully shifted 80% of our total manufacturing to India. We are no longer just relying on imports; we are actively producing.
Building the Cluster: Alongside our trusted moulding partner, @prakdadlani we are scaling up precision engineering and component manufacturing locally to challenge global supply chains.
The Next Phase: We are currently expanding and moving into a much bigger factory to bring more of the supply chain under one roof.
From raw components to the final mechanism, the infrastructure is scaling up.
The 100% Vision: In just a few years, you will see lighters that are 100% made in India, selling in India.
We are building the "Morbi of Lighters" one frame, one mould, and one factory at a time. The spark has been lit! 🏭🔥

Ujjwal had no background in manufacturing.
But instead of chasing a degree, he chose the factory.
He started a lighter business and partnered with us.
Now he's learning how products are actually made.
The plan is simple.
Learn the business.
Build his own moulds.
Then set up his own moulding plant.
This is how manufacturing grows.
Not by handing out more certificates.
By giving young people the chance to build.
People follow opportunity.
If we reward builders, India will create more builders.

I’m honestly very excited about Virat Kohli’s new brand.
He walked away from a guaranteed ₹300 crore of Puma money and instead threw his lot in with a little-known Indian brand called Agilitas.
This is their story.
Agilitas was started in 2023 by Abhishek Ganguly, which is interesting because Ganguly ran Puma India for years and built it into the giant it became here. Then he left to, what critics called then, career suicide. He decided to build an Indian footwear company that owns its own factories. Not a brand that designs shoes and ships the making off to Vietnam, but the full stack in-house: design, manufacturing, distribution. What’s interesting here is that Agilitas’ manufacturing arm, Mochiko, produces footwear for global brands like Adidas and Puma . When Agilitas acquired Mochiko it was doing about ₹640 crore in revenue; last year it closed around ₹1,350 crore, more than doubling it. The full stack bet is already paying off.
India has had sneaker brands before. It hasn’t really had an Indian Nike.
This is where Kohli comes in. He didn’t take a cheque to wear a logo. He moved his one8 brand into Agilitas, put ₹40 crore of his own money in, and came on as co-founder.
The closest parallel is Roger Federer. When he left Nike, he took equity in a then-small Swiss brand called On and helped co-build the actual shoe, and that stake is now worth more than twenty years of Nike paycheques combined. Kohli leaving Puma to own a slice of Agilitas is the same instinct.
And the timing is why I think he’s right. India is finally moving. 69,000 people ran the Tata Mumbai Marathon this year. Hyrox went from 1,600 entrants at its first Indian race to over 8,000 in Bengaluru within a year, sold out. The first wave of homegrown sneakers was lovely but lifestyle (think Comet, Gully Labs). What’s coming now is performance, and a decade of people buying and wearing out real sports shoes. Brands like Elevar and Yoho have set the stage, but Kohli’s star power combined with Ganguly’s insane scale experience is going to be exciting to watch.
IMO Kohli might be the perfect person to own this wave, because in a way he is the wave. Middle-class Delhi boy who made himself the fittest, hottest version of an Indian man we’d ever put on a billboard, and made a whole generation want the same for themselves. He is the aspiration.
The brand launches 21st June (in 3 days!) and I’m genuinely looking forward to what happens when it does.
