A lovely film made by Raju Hirani on the occasion of 100 years of Bajaj group, a business family I respect immensely. What was amazing to me was that the characters enacted by the Bajaj family members are all done by AI!!

Jai Maharashtra,

Two days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to Indians to adopt austerity. Reduce gold purchases, avoid unnecessary foreign travel, consume less petrol and diesel, shift to electric vehicles, and embrace work-from-home practices. Why? Because gold and crude oil are imported, and they drain precious foreign exchange reserves. And with the Iran conflict escalating, global crude prices have surged sharply.

Fair enough. But the Prime Minister and senior leaders continue to travel across the country with massive convoys, roadshows, helicopters, flower showers, and extravagant political campaigns. Will the prime minister admit that ‘such political excesses were our mistake, and all of us including me, will not repeat it’? Why should the common man suffer for your mistakes? Is austerity meant only for the citizen and never for the political class?

Crude oil today is hovering around 90–100 dollars per barrel. But this is not the first time the world has seen such prices. During the 2008 financial crisis, during the Arab Spring of 2011–12, and the 2013–14 phase (when the BJP itself aggressively attacked the UPA over fuel prices) and again during the OPEC production cuts in 2022–23, crude prices had similarly touched these levels. During 3-4 such periods Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister. Narendra Modi himself held the position once. Dr. Manmohan Singh did not ask citizens to stop travelling abroad. Narendra Modi himself did not make such appeals earlier either. So why now? When global crude prices had fallen to nearly 60–65 dollars per barrel, Indian citizens were still paying extremely high prices for petrol and diesel because of heavy taxation. The government earned lakhs of crores through fuel taxes. Where did that money go?

The Prime Minister once mocked the “freebie culture.” Yet elections - from Maharashtra to Bihar to West Bengal - are increasingly fought and won through precisely such populist giveaways. In Maharashtra, the ‘Ladki Bahin’ scheme has put tremendous strain on state finances. Instead of genuinely empowering women through jobs, education, and safety, governments distribute temporary cash benefits while inflation silently takes back much of that money. If the economic situation is indeed serious, will the Prime Minister openly ask all political parties to stop competitive populism?

The PM now asks citizens to reduce fuel consumption. Fine. But why did this wisdom not emerge during massive election campaigns involving thousands of vehicles, endless roadshows, and the transport of lakhs of supporters across states like West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala? That itself would have burnt crores of liters of petrol and diesel. This didn’t occur to you when massive money power was wielded to gain votes there? Citizens are also being advised to avoid foreign travel. But how many Indians can afford international travel today? Even the middle class that can afford it is living under constant job insecurity. Students wish to study abroad because India has not invested deeply enough in higher education over the last decade, nor created enough confidence in domestic institutions. All you seem to be interested in is imposition of Hindi.

Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors have been steadily pulling money out of Indian markets. Estimates suggest that nearly ₹1.5 lakh crore has exited over the past few months. The Prime Minister and his Chief Ministers travel to colder climates to cement investment deals. But if they are making those deals with Indian companies, why even go to Switzerland for it? The Prime Minister himself is embarking on another multi-country foreign tour beginning May 15. First cancel these travels and then preach austerity.

They call this the ‘road to heaven.’

Looking at that horizon, I can see why.

I haven't been there yet, but I can already feel the silence.

A reminder that while we are blessed with friends and family to cheer us on, the most important journeys are the ones we take within ourselves.

We all eventually have to find our own road.

Today I am posting four videos of a brave, courageous, common Indian woman who has gone viral across India.
Why?
Because she did what most of us feel… but rarely say.
A political rally blocked the roads for hours. Commuters were stuck. Chaos everywhere. And this woman? She just wanted to pick up her child from school.
But when patience ran out, she stepped forward.
She questioned the system. She questioned politicians. She questioned the police.
And she asked the most powerful question:

“Who are you to block these roads? Just get out and clear them.”

No slogans. No politics. Just a citizen demanding accountability. We need this courage.We need more voices like hers.Because democracy doesn’t just survive on votes , it survives on citizens who dare to ask questions.

The humble ‘auto’ has been one of the most common elements of India’s transport ecosystem for decades. They are everywhere.

Yet, for too long, they have been mostly noisy and their designs so static that they almost commoditise the look and feel of our urban roads. Every time I passed one, I wondered why they couldn’t look more appealing, even futuristic.
After all, the sci-fi comic books of our youth often featured pod-like city-shuttles that looked exactly like evolved auto-rickshaws!

I’ve always believed that a three-wheeler with contemporary design and a quiet electric powertrain could be a global success, even in the West, as a sleek city-centre shuttle.

A few years ago, I shared the story of the BIJLEE, our first electric 3-wheeler launched back in 1999. It was born from the inspiration of one of our great engineers, the late Mr. Nagarkar. While the BIJLEE didn’t endure because the ecosystem wasn't ready, the dream of a modern, dignified three-wheeler never died.

So, thank you, @BosePratap, for taking up the challenge. You’ve created a design that is sleek, aerodynamic, and evolutionary. It enhances the dignity of the ‘pilots’ without alienating them through over-disruption.

And kudos to @sumanmishra_1 for the courage to invest in productionising this vision, and to your team for executing with such efficiency.

Mr. Nagarkar would have been as proud of you all as I am.

Welcome to the Mahindra UDO.

May you Rise, as your name says you will...

In Parliament, I explained why India must put land & property records on BLOCKCHAIN.

Land records in India are in utter chaos. Ordinary citizens are made to run from pillar to post at registrar offices, while dalals and middlemen capture the system. Circle rates are exploited to fuel cash deals, property tax leakages continue, fake documents and encroachments multiply, and disputes over title never end.

The numbers tell the story:
•⁠ ⁠66% of all India’s civil disputes are land disputes.
•⁠ ⁠45% of properties lack a clear title.
•⁠ ⁠48% are already under dispute.
•⁠ ⁠India ranks 133 out of 190 in property registration efficiency.
•⁠ ⁠Even a simple property sale can take 2 to 6 months. When disputes arise, civil courts take 7 years on average to resolve them.
•⁠ ⁠And 6.2 crore property documents are still pending digitisation.

That is why I argued in Parliament for a National Blockchain Property Register. Time stamped, tamper proof, fully transparent. It can make title verification instant, and ensure every sale, mutation and inheritance is recorded cleanly and traceably in realtime.

Countries like Sweden, Georgia and the UAE have shown what is possible. Transactions can finish in minutes, and dispute rates fall sharply.

India must move from chaos to clarity. From a land record system that creates obstacles to one that prevents them.

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

Every night before you sleep, write one page on your experience today – not in terms of activity but whether you were a little more joyful and peaceful. Then you will know whether you are moving forward or backward. This is like if you are running a business, you keep accounts. Otherwise, one day you will go bankrupt and wonder what happened. #SadhguruWisdom
