@the_hindu @adibharadwaja Literally no relief for those who bought units in apartments.

People bought units in Parkwest, Shapoorji Pallonji Bengaluru. Builder allowed them to make interiors.

Almost 6 months now and no OC for more than 1000 voters (200+ families) struggling cc : @PCMohanMP @dineshgrao

Met with the homebuyers of Parkwest Magnolia today to discuss a critical grievance. Hundreds of middle-class families are facing severe financial strain—juggling both heavy EMIs and monthly rent—due to an unjust, prolonged delay in receiving their Occupancy Certificate (OC). 
These are honest citizens who just want to legally move into the homes they’ve poured their life savings into. I stand firmly with them and will intervene with the relevant authorities immediately to ensure a swift and positive resolution.

Online business has compounded 100% for last 3 years & we boarded all the 3 top ECom & 3 QCom biz

We missed mid market & D2C segment. Today we announced acquisition of Shopflo. We get access to 1000 merchants and 65Mn consumers. And great product team.

What I told 2,000 future founders in Bengaluru today:

1/ We believe we are at the start of a second wave of Indian companies that will build world-class AI native products for the global market. Emergent and Giga are the model of the future.

2/ Just because a space seems crowded doesn't mean it's too late. Zepto, Emergent, Giga - none were first movers. Second mover advantage is real.

3/ In fact, a good formula for finding startup ideas is to look at ideas that are showing some promise and just execute them better. Execution is everything: if you're an exceptional engineer, and you can build and move faster than your competitors, you'll win.

4/ There is every reason to believe Indian teams can beat US teams building global products. The level of engineering talent here is on a whole different level, and that's the key input.

5/ In the AI era, the best founders are the ones building at the edge of what's technically possible. You need to be experimenting wth the latest models, the latest open source projects.

6/ Stay in the flow of information. Watch the right podcasts, follow the right people on X. With AI changing this fast, you need to know what the smartest builders are thinking.

7/ Most of the best startups don't come from someone explicitly trying to start a company. They start from someone building a project just for fun, or tinkering with a new technology because they are curious. India needs more of this "tinkering" culture - this is how you have novel ideas when technology is shifting quickly.

8/ Founders are getting younger. Aadit was 18 when he started Zepto. The Giga founders were 20 when they came to SF. Young people who can learn very fast have the advantage right now.

9/ The best founders are pushing AI coding to the max. You can now write 20K lines of code / day. One person can do the work that just a year ago would take a 100 person team. The best builders are taking advantage and building at Garry Tan speeds.

There are lots of demos and AI dashboards floating around. However, very few have tried to set up standards and protocols. Our CTO and @PineLabs have proposed a new protocol.

AI agents are no longer just generating text. They’re taking actions—sending emails, moving money, writing code, operating systems.

But there’s a problem:
We don’t yet have a standard way to safely grant, manage, and audit what agents are allowed to do.
Grantex is our answer. https://t.co/M2ja3IFZ8c

Think of it as OAuth for the agent era—a simple, open protocol for delegated authorization between humans, applications, and AI agents.

With Grantex, you can:
• Grant fine-grained permissions to agents
• Define clear boundaries for what they can (and cannot) do
• Audit and revoke access at any time
• Bring policy and security into the core of agent workflows

We built Grantex to be practical from day one:
• 30+ packages across TypeScript, Python, and Go
• 600+ tests and production-ready SDKs
• Integrations with policy engines like OPA
• SOC 2 Type I ready
• Self-hostable via Docker, Helm, and Terraform
It’s live. It’s usable. And it’s open. Give feedback here and also @mishrak_sanjeev

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET?
Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday.
Was it luck, or inside information?
Either way... someone just got rich.

Excited to have released our first App on ChatGPT. Pls try Setu Bharat Connect app on your ChatGPT app.

Most consumers are spending time on AI apps. They should do everyday payments on the same. Why use a dedicated payments App? UPI scanning would come next directly in AI apps.

Tucker Carlson asks Col. Douglas Macgregor how the United States can get out of the Iran war.

“Somebody will say, why do you end it? Because if we don’t, we’re going to hit $300 per barrel of oil. We’re going to watch 60–80% of stock values crash. People are going to lose trillions in wealth. It will be a disaster, and it’s not something we’ll recover from.”

“We’ve thrown all caution to the wind. Think of any number of worst-case scenarios, they are on the horizon.”

“President Trump is still president of the United States, not president of Israel.”

“He has to think about the consequences here at home for us for the average man, not for the billionaire class, not the Epstein class.”

@zomato it’s quite frustrating talking to your AI agents as they don’t get the context and gives the same answer back. How are we supposed to accept food that are delayed by over 20 mins when the food is ready and packed. That only means I’m gonna get cold food @deepigoyal

Today, we’re launching the NCMC Bharat Yatra Card on Blinkit.

It's a ₹50, zero-KYC, RuPay powered card by @PineLabs which supports instant UPI top ups and also eliminates the need for city specific transport cards.

This is a meaningful step in enabling public transport usage (metro and buses) across different cities in India.

We've started deliveries in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahmedabad.
