@hvgoenka ji, I feel your comments is a bit too "Harsh".

It is a private group of tourist just supposedly having some fun, without disturbing or inconveniencing anyone, as I can see from this video.

By this logic entire film industry should be criticised by you for doing silly dances across the streets, hills and tourist places in the world without purpose, inconveniencing many people.

Sir, with due respect, I think a stalwart like you should focus on mentoring youngsters , give some good business related data and information on your so well followed twitter handle about how to make #Bharat great in business, rather than such petty community shaming videos.

@vinitgoenka @RShivshankar I agree !

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

@RShivshankar ji , what does it mean by nashik MNC ?
Rather you should disclose the name of the company here , especially journalist of your stature whom lacs of people in India follow , should not hide these facts and give a long rope to the large conglomerate. The corporate governance failed and your channel should invite the Chairman of this company to discuss and clarify . @CNNnews18

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

Completely agree with Standing committee Chairman @nishikant_dubey ji. This is what we at CKS @CKSIndia have been saying for almost a decade or more . Thank you for this recommendation. Appropriate taxes should be charged / applied to intermediaries as publishers.

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

Proud to see Prabhu @RadharamnDas ji has clearly exposed the name of the company #TCS while senior media journalists like @RShivshankar don’t have the courage to discuss this on their channels. Why is TCS board members , chairman and other senior management not invited on channels to discuss this issue which they ignored under their watch ? Just blaming HR is not enough, Seems a long rope is extended to @TCS @TataCompanies by media groups ….
The Ministry of Corporate affairs must act here immediately and investigate this serious matter. If Hindu girls are not safe in Bharat in the corporate world in a so called professionally and ethically managed company , where will they be safe?

Very serious ! Needs investigation @abvp

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

Reports from #Nashik highlight serious allegations of forced religious conversion attempts involving multiple individuals especially targetting women from Majority community by a specific religious community. Such actions undermine constitutional rights and social harmony.
This is extremely serious if threats are issued for religious conversions in Top #MNCs which are supposed strong HR policy and corporate governance structure in place.
While I interact with many IT companies and their top leadership, I have been informed that #Namaz time-off is allowed by most #MNCs to specific religious groups on Fridays while no time relaxations in important occasions/ festivals are extended to majority community. This practice of relaxing work hours also must stop as this discriminatory.
I request Hon'ble CM @Dev_Fadnavis ji , IT minister @ShelarAshish ji to investigate through appropriate authority immediately. The organisation name where this is happening should be disclosed in public after investigation and role of HR and senior management should be investigated. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs , GoI should also investigate this immediately. @nsitharamanoffc

Honored to once again address the distinguished participants of the National Defence College #NDC on the theme: “Evolving Interplay between Social Media & National Security.”

In my talk, I underscored how digital platforms, while enabling unprecedented connectivity, also serve as conduits for misinformation, vectors for cyber espionage, and instruments of strategic communication. I highlighted how social media is used by State and Non State actors as a powerful tool for positive and negative narrative building. In the age of AI, social media causes many new threats. These dynamics demand vigilant responses and resilient frameworks to safeguard national interests.
This was my third consecutive invitation to speak at NDC, a privilege that reaffirms the institution’s commitment to engaging with diverse perspectives on the challenges of our digital era.

The National Defence College is India's apex institution of learning for the study and practice of national security and strategy. Established in 1960, it has over the years earned a reputation for excellence and gained world renown. It is dedicated to the intellectual development and strategic enculturation of select senior officers of the Armed Forces, Civil Government Services of India and those from friendly foreign countries, for higher leadership positions and responsibilities. The Course is run for 47 weeks from January to November every year. Every year the course has participants who are Brigadier or equivalent/ Director/ Joint Secretary Officers from the Indian Armed Forces, Indian Civil Services, Indian Police Service, other organs of the Indian Government and officers from Friendly Foreign Countries (FFCs).

My sincere gratitude to NDC for this honour and for fostering dialogue that strengthens India’s preparedness in the information age.

Jai Hind🙏

Visit to #AyodhyaDham

✨ A memorable visit to Ayodhya Dham- Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerthshetra with Former ISRO Chairman Shri Kiran Kumar, along with my friends and family. @ShriAyodhya_ @ShriRamTeerth
Walking through the sacred city, I was struck not only by its spiritual aura but also by the remarkable progress and development unfolding here. The transformation is visible in every corner — from improved infrastructure to modern facilities that make the pilgrimage experience smoother and more enriching. From 2015 till 2026 I have visited multiple times , I can see the growth and positive energy at this place.

🌱 Employment opportunities are rising as Ayodhya embraces its new identity. Local communities are benefiting from the surge in temple tourism, with livelihoods being created in hospitality, transport, retail, and cultural services.

🛕 The grandeur of temple tourism is positioning Ayodhya as a global spiritual destination. It’s heartening to see how heritage and modernity are being woven together ,preserving traditions while opening doors for sustainable growth.

Sharing a few pictures. Best time is Oct - March (weather is pleasant), it is well connected by flight, trains and road.

From 2025 to 2026: A Journey Through #Bharat 🚘 🚂 ✈️

2025 was a year of movement, discovery, and wonder. I wandered through Delhi’s vibrant streets and serene parks, admired the grandeur of Jaipur’s palaces, Navalgarh Havelli, and Alsisar Mahal in Rajasthan, along with visit to our family deities in Rajasthan. I breathed in the salty air along Mumbai’s coastline multiple times , blessed to have divine darshan of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, surrendered to the timeless ghats of Varanasi and blessed with sparsh darshan of Shri Kashi Vishwanath. I relished the food in Nagpur while participating at a Lit Fest, enjoyed my road journeys to Lucknow, found peace in the tea gardens of Kothagiri, found joy in weddings and cuisine in Chennai, Mumbai, Noida & Coimbatore, and countless moments of pride while traveling through the lush paddy fields of Haryana and Punjab to Patiala & Chandigarh. Work trips to other mega cities too kept me engaged, and but most of my journeys under 900 km were self-driven—where the smooth National Highways became my companions, a true game changer for Bharat’s connectivity.

#2025 was not only about places, it was about #people. Multiple Roundtables on #DataSovereignty. #DPDP Rules were notified, a gamechanger for Bharat and its people.

The best part of my journeys involved interacting with children, from 8th grade to graduation, through the #MMGEIS initiative. Engaging in conversations about the future of Bharat left me overwhelmed with hope. Their clarity of thought, curiosity, and confidence reminded me that the true strength of our nation lies in its youth.
These young minds are not just students; they are the architects of tomorrow. Their questions challenged me, their dreams inspired me, and their vision for Bharat reaffirmed my belief that our civilizational journey continues with renewed energy.

Each city and town carried its own rhythm—its own heartbeat—and together they painted a mosaic of experiences that only Bharat can offer.
Bharat is not just a destination; it is a civilizational journey. From the Himalayas to the backwaters of Kerala, from ancient temples to futuristic skylines, Bharat embodies diversity unmatched anywhere else. Its food, festivals, languages, and the warmth of its people remind us that tourism here is not just travel, it is transformation. Every chai at a roadside Dhaba, every sunrise over a new horizon, every temple bell and every folk song is a reminder of Bharat’s eternal soul.

As 2025 closes, I carry gratitude for these experiences and step into 2026 with anticipation, ready for more journeys, more stories, and more moments that remind me why exploration & interaction is the greatest gift of all.

In my book #EnemiesWithin, I have written that my political and social life has taken me to countless cities, towns, and villages across Bharat, yet I never felt alienated at any part of India. That is the essence of Bharat—unity in diversity, a land where every traveler feels at home.
🌟 Mera Bharat Mahaan! 🌟

“You really want your grandson to become a delivery boy?” I had questioned a set of audience, in New Delhi on 23rd of August, 2018 at @medianama conclave.

Today, it seems my fear has turned true. Any lane I go to, any road I travel in mega cities or smaller towns I see the gig workers riding on a bike rushing through the roads, breaking signals, not concerned about anything but quick deliveries. I always ponder what’s happening.

I keep wondering who pays for the bikes, the petrol, the jackets and caps, the bag on their back and what is this craze for 10 minute delivery. Well, I appreciate that e-commerce has changed the way we buy in India, rather how we live in India today, but at what cost?

An entire generation turned into delivery boys, with zero dignity of labour ! #Gigworkers does not imply exploitation of labour.

And yet, these young delivery men are the lifeline of our cities, invisible but indispensable. They deserve recognition, fair wages, and protection, not exploitation in the name of convenience. If we continue down this path, we risk creating a society where speed is valued more than human dignity, and where the dreams of our youth are sacrificed for the hunger of instant gratification.

I request the Ministry of Labour , Government of India to regularize this industry , investigate if all applicable labour laws the respected as per law of the land and take appropriate punitive or corrective action to ensure that the people employed in this industry are treated fairly.

While these so called corporates today are receiving tons of funding, enjoy huge market capitalization, and they have liberty of spend crores on PR and social media activities and sponsorships while hiding cleverly the fact that they are making losses to the tune of thousands of crores , it is hard to believe they charge the rider for their T-Shirts and Hoodies/Jackets and the rider has to use their own vehicle and petrol ! The principal employer should have some basic responsibilities.

Time to discuss this in the interest of dignity of labour.

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

🎉Six years ago, we embarked on a mission to shape the discourse on #DataSovereignty in India, publishing the first-ever book dedicated to the subject, addressing the urgent need for strategic autonomy in digital governance and countering the looming threats of Data Colonization. Today, we proudly celebrate 6 Years of its enduring impact!

🚀 A Legacy of Influence & Action
✅ 40,000+ copies in circulation, shaping conversations across policy circles, academia, corporate sectors, and defense institutions.
✅ Featured in Parliament Library, Military Colleges, Leading Universities, Schools, and Corporate Think Tanks, serving as a reference for thought leaders and decision-makers.
✅ Instrumental in influencing policy frameworks such as the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and shaping India’s Data Localization Strategy to safeguard national interests.

This milestone is a collective achievement, made possible by the vision, research, and dedication of the brilliant minds who contributed to this pioneering work.

A heartfelt thank you to all my co-authors namely Respected Lt. Gen Dr D B #Shekatkar Sir, Late Lt Gen V. M Patil Sir, Lt Gen Lt. General Vinod G. Khandare PVSM, AVSM, SM, Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia, PVSM, AVSM, SM (Retd), Shri . Jayadeva Ranade & Bharat Panchal PhD , our researchers, and collaborators, whose expertise helped craft a compelling narrative that resonated across industries and governance structures. Your insights continue to drive meaningful change in India’s digital policy space.

🔹 A Special Gratitude to Former Chairman of #ISRO Kiran Kumar Sir, We are deeply honored that ISRO Chairman Kiran Kumar penned the foreword for this book, lending his invaluable perspective on the critical intersection of technology, data sovereignty, and national security. His visionary leadership has inspired generations, and his support for this work has strengthened the movement toward a self-reliant, technologically empowered India.

As we mark this milestone, we reflect on the strides made and reaffirm our commitment to advancing India's data sovereignty agenda. The journey continues—toward a future where India controls its digital destiny, safeguards its citizens’ data, and strengthens its strategic autonomy in the evolving global landscape.

We look forward to further engagements, deeper collaborations, and new frontiers in knowledge and policymaking. Here’s to the next phase of the movement! 🚀
