In the US, I can register a business and start operating. I don’t have to tell the government exactly what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, or who my customers are. That’s business IP.

In India, entrepreneurs can face layers of licenses, disclosures, deposits—and sometimes demands for bribes—just to try something new.

When permission comes before experimentation, innovation dies. And “innovation” eventually becomes another word for copying what worked elsewhere.

@sabeer No need to prove anything to anybody it would be just wise to ignore comments from bootlickers who are in for the biggest surprise in their lives

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

Many people on social media who don’t like my independent views keep playing the same broken record: “Washed-up uncle. Did nothing after Hotmail.”

Washed up? I’m in the best physical shape of my life. 😄

More importantly, is life really a series of projects to prove something to strangers—or a beautiful story we get to write?

BTW, I can’t share much yet, but an idea I’ve been working on received complete validation from another government—not India’s—this morning.

If implemented, I believe it could transform the country.

The story is still being written.

No amount of government propaganda can hide the fact that Amit Shah is running away

@Patimmigrant9 @sabeer This is a bit account directly connected to a technology cell!

[Derek Demitrius @punepetpark]

@Patimmigrant9 @sabeer This is the reason why he does not want to build it here.

[Derek Demitrius @punepetpark]

@sabeer Would love to be a part of it!!

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

I’m sitting on an idea so “explosive” it could turbocharge the economy of a developing nation.

I wanted to build it in India—for the good people of India.

But the laws around financial innovation are so draconian that I’ve decided to ditch India and implement it in another country first.

When regulation drives innovation away, the country loses.

@SauravDassss For too long bureaucrats have had free pass for everything and it is time now to hold them accountable.

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

Indians and Pakistanis are essentially the same people, divided by borders and kept divided by politicians on both sides who benefit politically—and perhaps financially—from hostility.

Imagine if India and Pakistan signed a real peace treaty. Trade, tourism, investment, culture and human connections could explode.

The economic upside could be enormous.

So I keep wondering: who benefits from keeping us enemies?

Plastic instead of torsteel rods in an RCC slab, discovered along the Amritsar-Katra Expressway!

BJP corruption awaiting that fateful pilgrim bus to Vaishnodevi, that will fall into a gorge to reveal Amrit Kaal...

@ARanganathan72 Best suggestion ever

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

BREAKING: Bill tabled in Parliament making it mandatory for the President, the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice, and all their near and dear ones to be treated for their medical needs and emergencies only by doctors who obtained -40 marks out of 800 in NEET-PG medical exam.

[Derek Demitrius @punepetpark]

@suchitra2026 @SauravDassss Must also mention how did BJP cough up money for buying MLAs into their party and why is money pouring out to foreign countries from Indian coffers for development of those countries when we have thousands of villages who lack basic facilities like water

NALSAR student-lawyers with a spine.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

They’ve completely destroyed the morale of the bureaucracy. Using selected officers—most times incompetent in honest policy making—and giving them repeated extensions, they’ve weaponised bureaucracy for illegal, morally bankrupt ends. Hence you see paper leaks, broken roads, counterfeit medicines and what not.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

Students will clean up this arrogant ruling class! They will bring the real India we dream of.
