Siya Goyal is a soulless psycho.

All attempts to intellectualise her crime, infantilise her as ‘young’ or paint her as a trapped victim are a cop-out.

No amount of context justifies what she did.

[Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj @DeepikaBhardwaj]

No one cuts a sorry figure for a man who demands dowry from a woman because his parents pressurize him to, even if he is 19 or 20

He is supposed to know it is wrong

But the number of people cutting a sorry figure for a woman alleged to have murdered a man simply because she didn't want to marry him is appalling

Most Indians have not heard of Persistent Systems.

That is a shame, because every Indian should know what happened this weekend.

Let me explain everything from the beginning.

Persistent Systems is an Indian software company founded in Pune in 1990 by Dr. Anand Deshpande.

He started it after doing his PhD at Indiana University, came back to India, and built a technology company from scratch.

For most of its existence, Persistent was a mid-size player that did not get the same attention as TCS, Infosys, or Wipro.

Today, Persistent is recognised as the fastest-growing IT services brand globally in 2026. They have had 24 consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth.

So, for six straight years, every single quarter has been bigger than the one before it. That kind of consistency is extremely hard to pull off in any business.

Now, they did something that has almost never happened before in Indian tech.

An Indian IT company just launched a takeover bid for a publicly listed German company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Persistent is offering 81 euros per share to buy Nagarro SE, which works out to approximately 1.1 billion euros.

And they are paying 140 percent above Nagarro's share price the day before the deal was announced. That is how badly they want this company, and how confident they are in what the combined business will be worth.

So what does Nagarro actually do and why does Persistent want it so badly?

Nagarro is headquartered in Munich, Germany. They have 18,500 employees across 40 countries and generated 1 billion euros in revenue in 2025.

Their biggest clients include four of the top five European automotive manufacturers. So BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz type companies.

These are some of the most demanding engineering clients in the world.

Nagarro builds the software that goes inside these companies.

> The dealer management software.
> The supply chain tools.
> The digital interfaces that a BMW engineer uses when designing a new model.

This kind of deeply embedded enterprise software work is extremely difficult to replace once it is in place. These are long relationships measured in decades, not years.

That is why this deal makes strategic sense for Persistent.

Before this deal, only 9 percent of Persistent's revenue came from Europe. After this acquisition closes, that number jumps to 22 percent.

Right now, Persistent earns most of its money from North American clients, which means it is heavily exposed to whatever happens in the US economy.

If US companies cut tech spending, Persistent hurts.

Adding a strong European base changes that. Your revenue is now spread across two of the world's largest economies.

The combined company will have $2.9 billion in annual revenue and more than 46,000 employees across 40 countries. Of those, 37,000 plus will be in India.

So an Indian company, built by an Indian founder, that now employs 37,000 Indians and just bought a German company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

For most of the last 30 years, the story of Indian IT was that we sent engineers to do work that Western companies needed done cheaply.

Good work, real work, but fundamentally in a support role. You came to us because we were affordable and skilled.

But now with Persistent buying Nagarro, Coforge buying Encora for $2.35 billion, TCS buying Coastal Cloud, Infosys buying Optimum Healthcare IT, Indian IT companies going out and buying Western companies for their client relationships, their market presence, and their technology capabilities.

We are the buyers now. :)

India uses its 4th most powerful military in the world to help countries facing a crisis, even if they are 9000 miles away, instead of attacking them.

India set up a makeshift hospital during the Turkey earthquakes too, treating thousands of people as its military helped Turkish authorities clear out the rubble.

During the Russia-Ukraine war, India evacuated its own citizens along with stranded citizens of other countries, including Pakistani citizens.

India also led the medical and rebuilding efforts (by sending financial aid) during the Nepal earthquakes in April 2015. India sent the highest number of troops to the region and led the operations for months - free of cost for Nepal.

Even during the fall of Yemen in 2015, India evacuated its own citizens as well as American and European citizens, who were stranded there and expecting no help from their own military.

All this was FREE OF COST. India didn't send a bill to any of these countries.

We owe India gratitude, instead of the racist treatment it gets on social media.

Neville D’Souza scored a hat-trick in this match, becoming the first Indian and the first Asian to achieve the feat at the Olympics. He also finished as the joint top scorer at the 1956 Olympics.

Fast forward to 2026, and the Neville D’Souza Ground in Bandra is being converted into a convention centre by the BMC.

What a way to honour one of India’s greatest footballing pioneers. @Dev_Fadnavis @mansukhmandviya @praful_patel

At Melbourne 1956, India came within one win of an Olympic medal and finished fourth in the men's football tournament, still the country's best-ever Olympic finish in the sport.
