On Monday we announced an equity offering for Alphabet - part of our multi-year investment strategy to meet the AI opportunity ahead and support the demand we’re seeing from enterprises and consumers. Pleased to share the offering was well over-subscribed. We raised a total of ~$45B, with an additional $40B to come as part of an “at the market” program starting in Q3 (for a total of ~ $85B). A huge thank you to our investors, including Berkshire Hathaway who invested $10B.
@VedicWisdom1 Namaste,
Can international people take this course and how should payment be made?
Currently the payment options are not working when I try to enroll.
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
Cadbury Comparison:
India vs. Australia 🇦🇺🇮🇳
A recent viral video has sparked a heated debate over food safety and quality standards in India.
A man compared two Cadbury Dairy Milk bars, one made in India and the other in Australia… the differences are eye-opening.
🔍 Key Findings:
> Ingredients Matter: The Indian version lists sugar as the primary ingredient, while the Australian bar starts with full cream milk.
> Milk Quality: India's bar uses milk solids (milk powder), whereas the Australian one uses fresh milk.
> Fats: The Indian chocolate contains fractioned fat (palm oil) to achieve its creamy texture, while the Australian version uses cocoa butter and original chocolate base.
> Packaging Perks: The Australian packaging clearly highlights "Milk Chocolate," a detail noticeably absent on the Indian wrapper.
> Cost vs. Quality: While the Indian bar is cheaper per gram (₹1/gm vs. ₹1.4/gm), the production and labor costs in Australia are significantly higher, suggesting a much better value for money in terms of quality.
Why the Difference?
The creator argues that stricter food safety regulations and consumption norms in Australia force companies to prioritize quality.
In contrast, he claims the Indian market allows for cheaper ingredients to maximize profits, leaving consumers with a lower-quality product.
Is it time for India to rethink its food safety standards? 🤔
#Hubballi A 15-years old boy died on city outskirts allegedly during a shoot of a car/bike stunt for social media reels. Deceased Namish is the son of a local politician and was studying in Mysuru @NewIndianXpress@XpressBengaluru@KannadaPrabha
Overwhelmed with the support. The encouragement means a lot and inspires me to do better.
Missed the target this time but I absolutely gave my all.
Good things are coming I'm sure.
Thank you all! 🙌
A young boy in Gujarat lost his father when he was just 5 years old. His mother raised him alone in Ahmedabad, struggling to make ends meet.
As a young boy, he had only one pair of shoes and a single T shirt. He washed the T Shirt every night, so he could wear it again the next day.
With no fancy facilities, he taught himself to bowl on the streets of Ahmedabad, developing the characteristic slingy action the world now recognizes instantly.
In 2012, a video of his bowling caught the eye of John Wright, who was then working as a talent scout and coach for the Mumbai Indians, and he was called for trials.
In 2013, he was picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL. A skinny young fast bowler with a strange action… but incredible talent.
During the early years of the player's IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, Mitchell Johnson noticed his unusual bowling action and raw pace during practice.
Johnson, who used ASICS shoes himself, gifted the player a pair of ASICS bowling shoes.
His first pair of high quality shoes.
Years later, the same boy who once struggled to afford shoes became a global ambassador for ASICS.
From IPL newcomer to India’s strike bowler, he went on to take 400+ international wickets and become one of the most feared fast bowlers in the world.
And today, that boy from Ahmedabad stands tall as a T20 World Cup 2026 champion for India.
The World knows him as Jasprit Bumrah.🔥🔥🔥
🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once.
The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time.
Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight.
The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate.
What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field.
Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal.
We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain.
The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours.
This bird does 11 days.
Without a runway.
Now look at that record. Just look at this record. THE BEST. ACTUALLY I WILL GO TO SAY UNBEATABLE @GautamGambhir - I salute you my friend. You have done a remarkable job. Like I said to you shut your years when someone talks nonsense about your capabilities. No one can take your place. 🙌🏾🙏🏽👏🏻
A distinguished soldier and strategic voice falls silent
In sad news - Today, 26 February 2026, India lost one of its most respected soldier-scholars, Major Maroof Raza (Retd) whose life was a testament to service, insight and the spirit of inquiry.
Born in 1959, Maroof Raza graduated from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, before joining the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun, where he was commissioned into The Grenadiers Regiment in 1980. His early years in the Army took him into counter-insurgency operations in India’s North East, experiences that shaped his lifelong engagement with security and defence.
After leaving the service, he became a leading strategic affairs expert, author and media anchor, known for bringing the soldier’s perspective to public discourse. He hosted acclaimed television series such as Line of Duty, anchored programmes on national security for major news networks, and wrote extensively on India’s military and geopolitical challenges.
His work bridged the realms of lived military experience and thoughtful analysis, earning him respect across India’s defence and media communities.
Maj Raza leaves behind a legacy of clarity, courage and dedication to understanding the forces that shape our world.
Our deepest condolences to the family. 🙏🏵️
