Let me tell you a story - for 6 months we chased the 2 biggest toothbrush manufacturers in india for a quote & sample. We didn't get a response - the chinese vendor who produces 1 bn sticks a month, sent a quote in 3 days, sample in 7 and key line in 15. 14k moq - we buy monthly

@nntaleb Would the closest answer be 1,350? Succeeding 0.9999999 times in 1,350 tries?

Someone in my close network is hiring for a key AI builder role in his company.

They most recently did a 50M series B round, backed by Blume, Arkam, Mirae Asset, and others.

@wmakarand Putting it here - just for comparison in the assessment

[Makarand Waingankar @wmakarand]

Excellent technical analytical column by Balvinder Singh Sandhu.

Yeh Shaam tak khele - aur inki fat gayi

@HomerOpines

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@mahektetweet He did try exactly what you asked for

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@wmakarand I would have assumed that “workload analysis” in a test would contain the total numbers of overs bowled. But then again, I am no expert.

@weRcricket The funny thing is at the start of his career, he was supposed to be batter-wicketkeeper.

Has anybody asked for DK’s view on this definition?

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@chamat_kari Hahahaha - yeh toh kissi ne bataya nahi tha.

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@chamat_kari Feel custom designed, and that’s the best compliment I can give.

And as the new Rupay ad has taught me new words - these kicks got drip.

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@chamat_kari On GoComet - hadn’t heard of them. Bought a pair

I always have trouble with shoes, have to try multiple styles for a brand, not with these ones.

And it surprises me, but friends have asked if I am wearing Comets, w/o any prompting. So may be it is already out of the X chamber

@exceedingxpuns The difference between the two shots - the stump that it was on and the direction that the ball takes after hitting the bat - is what makes Virat’s shot one of its kind

If you don’t see that difference, then there is nothing to add

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

Of course, if there was one that was going to come from the heart, it had to be this one

[AFINUE @Afinue_com]

From the cricket pitch to our hearts, he's always been an undisputed icon.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the Legend.

@GemsOfCricket This is fabulous- great example of a statistic that gives no insight

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@ramkid I find it insane that the ad managed to reach a much older audience with just GenZ key phrases.

Probably proves that if one commits to an idea, should commit completely.

They used so many phrases, which are mostly still clear to most in my age group, that the ad is memorable.

@deepakshenoy Contd.

- large number of new Indian businesses are working in the robotics (H/W) with application across sectors, logistics, transportation. It’s just that limited VC capital is chasing these, hence they don’t make news. Though there is a fairly robust Pvt capital funding this.

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

@deepakshenoy My two cents:

- we are operating in a model where we have to make multiple GST across different states. It’s frustrating how uniquely difficult each state is. It has been faceless though.
- on the original statement by the minister - it’s fairly misplaced. (1/2)

[Ankit @PSAnkit]

Just checked out @airindia ‘s new safety instructions video.

What a fabulous job, would make every frequent flyer check it out as well.

The joy of Holi is in the choices...

The sweets you pick 🍮, the colors🎨 you play with, the flowers 🌼 you cherish, the beverages you share and same goes for wealth.

This Holi, may you have the freedom to choose the best 💙
