India has so many athletes who, with the right support, can bring home so much glory for the country. But there's often a big gap between the kind of training and support an athlete needs and what they actually get. A better coach, a good diet, a proper rehab routine can take someone who is already extraordinary and make them even better.

This kept coming up in our discussions at @Rainmatterin. That's when we found the good folks at @OGQ_India (Olympic Gold Quest). What they've built is incredible. They support athletes with everything: coaching, sports science, nutrition, rehab, equipment, and even a monthly stipend so athletes can train without worrying about money.

And the results show. 13 of India's 21 medals in the last four Olympics were won by athletes supported by OGQ.

At the ongoing Commonwealth Games, three of India’s six gold medallists so far are OGQ-supported athletes. 10 Indian boxers have reached the finals, guaranteeing India 10 medals, each silver or better, and seven of the finalists are supported by OGQ.

All the credit goes to the athletes and the OGQ team. Makes me super happy that we get to support them in a small way.

Yashvir Singh with a huge PB of 85.41m takes surprise but very welcome bronze in the men's javelin throw competition in Glasgow. Massive effort in his last throw of the competition for the 25-year old from Jaipur! Two medallists for India in the javelin throw confirmed.

It's CWG decathlon🥉for Tejaswin Shankar. Historic first for 🇮🇳 . He finishes with 7976 pts behind ex Olympic champ David Warner (8036) & Olympic bronze winner Lindon Victor (8096). TJ needed a superhuman effort in the 1500m. But he's done brilliantly to make the podium

When coach Vaijnath Kale ‘adopted’ a disabled 11-year-old from an impoverished tribal family in Maharashtra, his only promise was to give him a better life. On Wednesday in Glasgow, that boy, Dilip Gavit, now 23, won gold at the Commonwealth Games.

Outcome decides the narratives.

If you persist and succeed, you would be glorified for not giving up.

If you persist and fail, you would be called as stubborn and stupid.

Will this ever change?

No.

As far as you are concerned, the efforts matter.

As far as the world is concerned, the outcome matters.

This is how it would always be.

[Muthukrishnan Dhandapani @dmuthuk]

If you look at success rate in any area, you would realise failure is the norm and success is an exception.

If you've succeeded, be grateful. Be kind to those who have failed.

Dear @letsblinkit, your Ambulance service is a lifesaver indeed. Jist this morning, a classmate of mine requested for an ambulance in Gurugram. It arrived in 4 minutes and his mom was in the emergencybward of a hospital within 20 minutes.
Both the paramedic attendants and the driver were topnotch and took excellent care of the patient.
After the formalities in the ER were done and the patient stabilized, her son went out to thank the ambulance guys, only to find out that they had already gone.
Two minutes later he got the scolding of his life from his wife for not giving them any token of thanks, especially since the ambulance service didn't charge anything. He had no idea and had just assumed that the charges would have been paid when his wife had booked the ambulance!
On that note, you may consider adding an option on your app for a token payment and perhaps a rating system for your ambulance crews after the job is completed.
They are a lifesaver indeed.

A year ago on this day, we started the Blinkit Ambulance service in Gurugram with a simple intent - to see if we could make emergency medical help reach people faster, when every minute counts.

It was uncomfortable territory. Emergency care is complex, sometimes outcomes are unforgiving, and there’s very little margin for error. And training people to make the right calls under pressure is a long, deliberate process.

Over the last year, this is what that effort has grown into:
• Our ambulance team has handled 4,200+ cases out of which 1,810 were time sensitive medical emergencies
• We now operate 25 ambulances across most of Gurugram & Manesar, and some parts of Delhi (Lajpat Nagar, Malviya Nagar, Patel Nagar, Dwarka, Greater Kailash)
• Our ambulances reached the patients within 10 minutes, 87% of the time
• We have trained and deployed 70 paramedics from the Blinkit Academy in our ambulances

All of this without charging any money from the families that needed this service.

But the work behind these numbers matters more than the numbers themselves.

We learned that we would have to invest massively in training paramedics. It requires infrastructure, investment, and constant review, especially when decisions need to be made in seconds, often with incomplete information.

We also learned that expanding responsibly sometimes means saying no - to moving too fast and to launching areas or cities before systems are ready.
We’re still early in this journey. We’ll keep expanding carefully, investing deeply in training, and work towards building a world class ambulance service.

Grateful to the teams on the ground who carry this responsibility every day 💛
