@viprabuddhi Thanks @viprabuddhi
And thanks to @rajeevdeshpande too to pointing at this after our conversation on 15 Aug 🙏🏼
A long endured ache is resolved for me...

Great to see we are catching up with China... mostly on our own and with reasonable/ feasible investments.

Not sure how much of the equipment is procured from China though. That's the next frontier to open!

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

India just crossed a historic line.

For the first time, clean electricity capacity (338.74 GW) has surpassed fossil fuel capacity (301.95 GW).

That's 12x growth in 25 years

A major shift in India’s power landscape, driven by the rapid expansion of clean energy in recent years.

An eye opener for all who are designing for customer requirement vs customer experience.
Must add one more critical gate / decision cycle for the design team to build, while setting up the specs for procurement and manufacturing teams.
Thanks @sachindn

Are we becoming a dumping ground for cheap electronics?
Something we learnt the hard way these past few months.
Customers started returning our UPS units, saying backup wasn't enough. We pulled every returned unit, charged it, loaded it up, and ran it down. Full backup, every single time. On our bench, nothing was wrong.
This went on for almost 3 months. Honestly, a wild goose chase. We suspected our design, our battery batches, everything except the actual problem.
The actual problem: The humble 12V 2A adapter powering the router. After about a year of use, even at a small 1A load, these adapters don't give 12V anymore. We measured 10.4V on some.
Our UPS sees 10.4V and thinks the power has gone. And switches to battery. Sits on battery the whole day while mains is perfectly fine. So when a real power cut comes, there's nothing left. Customer is right no backup. But the UPS was never the problem.
We thought fine, let's just source good adapters for our customers. Turns out most "Made in India" adapters are SKD kits — the cheapest possible design imported from China, assembled here. Nobody checks whether it still holds voltage after a year, because nobody's testing it after the return window closes.
So here we are, building our own 12V 2A adapter now. Yes, with Chinese components; that's just the reality of electronics today. But the design is ours. Stable voltage for years, low ripple, proper protections. Boring stuff nobody prints on the box.
A 200 rupee part quietly killing the devices around it, and the device maker takes the blame. And this isn't just our story; it's happening across categories.
We badly need stricter standards on what gets imported and assembled here. Otherwise we're just the last stop for the world's worst designs.
If you build hardware in India, I am sure most of you would have faced this too.

#मराठीदिन निमित्त एक मजेशीर गोष्ट. काही वर्षांपूर्वी मुंबईच्या झेवियर्स महाविद्यालयातील काही मुलं मला भेटायला आली.

मला म्हणाली -“सर, झेवियर्स महाविद्यालयात खूप पूर्वीपासून मराठी वाङमय मंडळ आहे परंतु काही कारणाने ते अनेक वर्ष निष्क्रीय होतं. आमचे सर आहेत - शिंदे सर - त्यांनी या मंडळाला पुनुरुज्जिवित करायचं ठरवलं आहे. या मंडळाच्या उद्घाटनाच्या कार्यक्रमाला प्रमुख पाहुणा म्हणून आपण यावं अशी आमची इच्छा आहे. तुम्ही याल का?”

तरूण मुलांशी संवाद साधायला मी कधीही नकार देत नाही. मी त्वरित होकार दिला. तसा त्यातला एक मुलगा जरा ओशाळून म्हणाला - “एकच प्रॉब्लेम आहे सर. मंडळ नवीन आहे आणि तुम्हाला झेवियर्सची कल्पना आहे. आमच्याकडे बराचसा श्रोतृवर्ग अमराठी आहे. तर तुम्ही तुमचं भाषण इंग्रजीतून कराल का?” मला याची गंमत वाटली. कुणी म्हणेल हे कसलं मराठी मंडळ! पण मला यात एक संधी दिसली. मी म्हटलं मी इंग्रजीत हे भाषण करेन. मुलं खूष होऊन परतली.

त्या कार्यक्रमात मी मराठी का बोलली गेली पाहिजे. या विषयावर इंग्रजीतून भाषण केलं. पुण्याचे अनिल गोरे ज्यांना महाराष्ट्र शासनाचा भाषासंवर्धन पुरस्कार दिला गेला आहे, ते एकदा जे म्हणाले होते तेच मी या मुलांना इंग्रजीतून सांगितलं. आपण इंग्रजी बोलतो. उदा. आपण म्हणतो - “Virat Kohli is riding on a wave of popularity.” किंवा “I was surfing channels on my TV.” ही भाषा कुठून आली? तर ही भाषा समुद्रातून आणि नौकायनातून आली आहे. कारण इंग्लंड हा देश पाण्याने वेढलेला आहे. त्यामुळे औरंगाबादला राहणारी मुलगी जेव्हा riding on a wave म्हणते तेव्हा ती second hand अनुभवातून बोलत असते. लाटेवर स्वार होणं म्हणजे काय हे कळायला तो अनुभव स्वतःच्या इंद्रियांनी अनुभवायला हवा! आपली भाषा आपल्या मातीतून उगवते. म्हणूनच हिंदीत - “अफ़वाहों की बाढ़ आती है” आणि मराठीत “अफवांचं पीक येतं”. म्हणूनच मराठीत “पिकतं तिथे विकत नाही” आणि पत्रकार “घोटाळ्याची पाळंमुळं खणून काढतात”. लोक म्हणतात भाषा केवळ एक संवादाचं माध्यम आहे. भाषा संवादाचं माध्यम आहेच पण ‘केवळ’ नव्हे! भाषा संस्कृतीची वाहक आहे.

आपली ओळख म्हणजे काही जन्माचा दाखला नाही. आपली ओळख सनातन आहे. भाषा ही आपल्या ओळखीचं एक परिमाण आहे. म्हणूनच तर ज्ञानेश्वर आपल्या रक्तात आहेत आणि तुकाराम आपल्या नेणिवेत. मराठी भाषेमुळेच शिवाजी महाराज म्हटलं की आपल्याला होणारी जाणीव ही इतरांना होणाऱ्या जाणिवेपेक्षा काहीतरी वेगळी आहे. भाषा आपल्या पर्यावरणाशी असलेलं आपलं नातं आहे जे आपल्याला जमीनीशी, वास्तवाशी जोडून ठेवतं. आणि म्हणून जिथे आपण राहतो तिथली भाषा आपल्याला येणं इष्ट असतं.

मला ठाऊक नाही की माझ्या बोलण्याचा किती परिणाम झाला पण दोन वर्षांपूर्वी मला झेवियर्स महाविद्यालयात पुन्हा बोलावलं. या वेळी संपूर्ण कार्यक्रम तर मराठीत झालाच पण मीही माझं भाषण पूर्णपणे मराठीत केलं. पुन्हा एकदा माझं आवडतं वाक्य म्हणतो आणि थांबतो.

वीज वाचवायची तर तिचा वापर कमी करायला हवा, पण भाषा वाचवायची असेल तर तिचा वापर वाढवायला हवा!

@samruddhi_mokal SYSTEM

[Samruddhi Mokal @samruddhi_mokal]

This AI system researches prospects like a psychopath and writes to them like a best friend.

This combo is absolutely insane for outreach that actually books calls.

No SDRs. No manual research. No sales reps spending 3 hours per prospect.

Just AI tools working together like a professional sales team.

Here's how it works:
→ AI scrapes LinkedIn profiles + recent posts automatically
→ Perplexity researches their company across the entire internet
→ Claude analyzes pain points and writes hyper-personalized 3-email sequences
→ System references specific achievements like you personally studied them
→ Emails send in proper time zones with perfect deliverability rotation
→ Sequences stop automatically when prospects reply

Perfect for anyone tired of 2% reply rates and "hope this finds you well" templates.

The power is in the combo:
LinkedIn scraping = behavioral data most sales reps ignore
Perplexity = company intelligence that makes prospects think you know them
Claude = emails that feel like a best friend wrote them, not a robot

While others are manually researching 10 prospects per day, you're personalizing 100 per hour.

Test different angles.
Book more calls.
Scale immediately.

Like, RT + reply with "SYSTEM" and I'll DM the complete workflow
(Must be following so I can DM)

Skip this and keep manually copying LinkedIn bios into ChatGPT.
