[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

On that full moon night of #GuruPurnima 15,000 years ago, Adiyogi turned his attention to the seven sages, the Saptarishis. For the very first time in the history of Humanity, human beings were reminded that we need not be confined by the simple laws of nature. Adiyogi gave ways as to how to transcend this confinement. If we are willing to strive, every door in the Existence will open. Love & Blessings. -Sg

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

Whatever competence, capabilities, and genius we may have – all of it is meaningful only when there is balance. #SadhguruQuotes

[Munish Bhatia @munish_bhatia]

Really sad, upset and angry to the core to hear the news of #pahalgamattack. So many innocent Indians gunned down, time for terrorists to pay heavy price for it. Looking at leadership of Bharat for action now.

[Munish Bhatia @munish_bhatia]

Voted for development, national integration and security of our country. #EveryVoteMatters

@bhash @LinkedIn @Microsoft Kudos to you for taking a stand. We may not use their products but we are not there slaved that we have to forcefully import their cultural ideology. India will choose its own course. Bullying has to stop.

[Bhavish Aggarwal @bhash]

On @Linkedin, @Microsoft and their wokeness.

As an Indian institution, Ola is for genuine actions on diversity. We run one of the largest women only automotive plants. Not 1 out of 10 lines, or a small section, but the whole plant! Almost 5000 women now and will grow to tens of thousands in the coming years. And regarding gender inclusivity, we don’t need lectures from western companies on how to be inclusive. Our culture didn’t need pronouns to be inclusive for thousands of years. On a personal note, I had visited Ayodhya last year and learnt about how transgenders had been accorded special respect in our culture from ancient times! Here’s a short video from our national broadcaster DD on this - https://t.co/TGxfSjtM0F.

On the other hand, the pronouns issue I wrote about is a woke political ideology of entitlement which doesn’t belong in India. I wouldn’t have waded into this debate but clearly Linkedin has presumed Indians need to have pronouns in our life, and that we can’t criticise it. They will bully us into agreeing with them or cancel us out. And if they can do this to me, I’m sure the average user stands no chance. As a founder and CEO, this western DEI system has a major impact on my business as it grows an entitlement mindset in our professional lives and I will fight it.

This situation brings me to the need for us to build our own Indian tech platforms. I’m not against global tech companies. But as an Indian citizen, I feel concerned that my life will be governed by western Big Tech monopolies and we will be culturally subsumed as the above experience shows. This is not about Ola or any of my companies. Ola is too small to make any impact against this. I want to confront this forced ideology as a free thinking Indian and do what I can in my capacity. So here are the actions I’m taking. Putting my money where my mouth is.
⁃While we can’t do anything about Linkedin’s monopoly overnight, I’m making a commitment to work with the Indian developer community to build a DPI social media framework. DPIs like UPI, ONDC, Aadhaar etc are a uniquely Indian idea and is even more needed in the world of social media. The only “community guidelines” should be the Indian law. No corporate person should be able to decide what will be banned. Data should be owned by the creators instead of being owned by the corporates who make money using our data and then lecture us on “community guidelines”!
⁃Since LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and Ola is a big customer of Azure, we’ve decided to move our entire workload out of Azure to our own @Krutrim cloud within the next week. It is a challenge as all developers know, but my team is so charged up about doing this.
⁃Any other developer who wants to move out of Azure, we will offer a full year of free cloud usage. As long as you don’t go back to Azure after that! Mail us on [email protected]. Offer is perpetually open!

My remarks at the Oxford Union almost a yr ago have made their way across social media. I gave a perspective on what has changed in India, citing events & anecdotes to support my argument. I’m overwhelmed to see how it has resonated with so many of you.🙏

India is exceptionally proud of @DGukesh on becoming the youngest-ever player to win the #FIDECandidates!

Gukesh's remarkable achievement at the Candidates in Toronto showcases his extraordinary talent and dedication.

His outstanding performance and journey to the top inspires millions.

"Avimukteshwar should be a living reality by 2028" prophesied @SadhguruJV during our conversation on 14 March when he launched my book "Waiting for Shiva" at @ishafoundation ! The hidden import of this major statement is evident to those who know the issue 😊 @Vishnu_Jain1 @praveenBlu @BluOneInk

[Deepinder Goyal @deepigoyal]

I have received an overwhelmingly positive response on this launch from so many people. A lot of comments from young people who eat non-veg food saying “now my parents can also use zomato”.

I would like to repeat that this feature strictly serves a dietary preference. And I know there are a lot of customers who would never order food from a restaurant which serves meat, irrespective of their religion/caste.

But why did we need to separate the fleets? Because despite everyone's best efforts, sometimes the food spills into the delivery boxes. In those cases, the smell of the previous order travels to the next order, and may lead to the next order smelling of the previous order. For this reason, we had to separate the fleet for veg orders.

Please note that participation in our Veg delivery fleet will not discriminate on the basis of our delivery partner’s dietary preferences.

There’s an opinion that some societies and RWAs will now not let our regular fleet in. We will stay alert for any such cases and work with these RWAs to not let this happen. We understand our social responsibility due to this change, and we will not back down from solving it when the need arises.

And I promise, that if we see any significant negative social repercussions of this change, we will roll it back in a heartbeat.
