શ્રી મહાદેવભાઈ દેસાઈના આકસ્મિક નિધનના સમાચાર ખૂબ જ દુઃખદ છે. તેઓ ઘણા સામાજિક સેવાના ઉપક્રમોમાં અગ્રેસર હતા તથા વાંચન અને શિક્ષણને લગતી પ્રવૃત્તિઓને વેગવંતી બનાવવા માટે પ્રયત્નશીલ હતા. તેમના પરિવારજનો પ્રત્યે સંવેદના વ્યક્ત કરું છું. ૐ શાંતિ…॥
आज नई दिल्ली में माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के दूरदर्शी नेतृत्व एवं माननीय केंद्रीय गृह एवं सहकारिता मंत्री श्री @AmitShah जी की अध्यक्षता तथा माननीय केंद्रीय जल शक्ति मंत्री श्री @CRPaatil जी की उपस्थिति में नर्मदा अवार्ड से जुड़े गुजरात, महाराष्ट्र, मध्य प्रदेश और राजस्थान के दशकों पुराने लंबित भुगतान संबंधी मुद्दों का ऐतिहासिक समाधान वन-टाइम सेटलमेंट के माध्यम से हुआ।
यह ऐतिहासिक सहमति सहकारी संघवाद, आपसी विश्वास और राष्ट्रीय हित की भावना का सशक्त उदाहरण है, जो जल सुरक्षा को और मजबूत करेगी तथा भविष्य में अंतर-राज्यीय सहयोग को नई गति देगी।
इस महत्वपूर्ण सहमति के लिए आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी, माननीय श्री अमित शाह जी, माननीय श्री सी.आर. पाटिल जी तथा महाराष्ट्र के मुख्यमंत्री श्री @Dev_Fadnavis जी, मध्य प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री डॉ. @DrMohanYadav51 जी और राजस्थान के मुख्यमंत्री श्री @BhajanlalBjp जी का हार्दिक आभार।
Another bad comparisons. It takes 15/20 years minimum for anybody to rise to the C suite. One needs to look at data 20 years ago about women in the workforce and then see how many have risen to get a correct view. Talking a snapshot today without studying the prior data does not give correct data. Today many IT cos have 35/40% women in the workforce but 10/12% in the senior level because lesser women joined 15/20 years ago @ShamikaRavi

✅ या सेतूची थेट जोडणी मुंबई–अहमदाबाद राष्ट्रीय महामार्गाशी होणार असल्याने दक्षिण मुंबई ते अहमदाबाद दरम्यानचा प्रवास अधिक जलद, सुरक्षित आणि सुलभ होणार आहे
मुंबई-दिल्ली द्रुतगती मार्गावरील मुंबई-वडोदरा इंटर जंक्शनची वैशिष्ट्ये :

Zoho views itself as "self-funding R&D labs". That is why we stay private. This model won't suit VCs or public investors.
Outside of Zoho, we invest in founders (almost all engineers or scientists) with that same world view.
Signal Chip and Netrasemi
vTitan and Voxelgrids
Ultraviolette and Boson Motors
GenRobotics
Zentron Labs and Pilabz
... and a few more not yet announced.
All with this world view. None of them obsess about "exit". The last two even have "labs" in their name!
The American approach of stock market capitalism is not the only path. We believe that model does not suit Bharat well, definitely not for building deep tech. We need a lot more "self-funding R&D labs". We will remain this way.
JRD Tata loses a pen!
JRD Tata, then Chairman of the Tata group, and senior Tata Directors used to meet for lunch at Bombay House (the Tata Group's headquarters) every day. One day, JRD came to lunch, sad that he had lost his favourite pen. He used to always carry a Parker pen set - a fountain pen and a ball pen.
"Look", he said sadly, "I have lost the ball pen. I don't know where it has gone. I have looked all over...but it's gone."
One of the Directors in the lunch room that day was Dr. Jamshed (JJ) Irani of Tata Steel. He made note of JRD Tata's loss. A few weeks later, when he was visiting London, he went to a small shop near Selfridges specialising in pens, and found a ball pen identical to the one JRD had lost. He bought it immediately. The next time he met JRD Tata, he presented that pen to him.
JRD was delighted. "Yes, Jamshed, it is exactly like the one I lost." For the first one or two minutes, he used it and tried it out. Then, Dr. Irani saw JRD's expression change slowly.
After a couple of minutes, he gave the ball pen back to Dr. Irani, and said - "Thank you for the thought. This is exactly what I wanted, but I cannot accept it."
"Why?" asked Dr. Irani, "I thought you were looking for this."
JRD answered - "Yes, Jamshed. But it is a principle of mine not to accept any gifts from any of my colleagues at work. If I did, then I know my colleagues would try to outdo each other and give me exorbitant gifts."
Dr. Irani tried to persuade him. "But Sir, nobody would know that I have given you this pen. You can say that you found it in your room. I am not going to go around saying that I have given JRD an identical pen."
JRD responded - "Jamshed, I know you will not do any such thing. But I would know. I would know that I accepted this gift against my principles. I am sorry, but I cannot accept it."
Each of us decides the principles by which we lead our lives. The principles that we will stand by, even if no one is looking or speaking about them. The principles that define who we really are. This story of JRD Tata's lost ball pen can help us reflect on what our own life's principles are. #Tata #ethics
Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Bhai,
You have undertaken a “Bhagirath Karya” of making “Viksit Bharat” by centenary year of our Independence.
The foundation for the Journey has been laid through fiscal prudence, rapid infrastructure build up, prudent inflation management, improving ease of doing business and encouraging make in India / start up India kind of many steps.
The growth has been made inclusive through opening of Jan Dhan accounts, Ujjwala and Direct transfer of benefits to the millions of recipients kind of many steps.
While well begun is half the journey in proverb, in real life we know how many challenges arise. Your skilful navigation is needed to overcome current turbulent phase.
We pray to the almighty for your good health.

Ahmedabad’s urban transformation is getting further momentum!
The Cabinet’s approval for Phase 2(A) of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project will strengthen connectivity, particularly to the airport, thus making travel faster and more convenient. This expansion will reduce congestion, create employment opportunities and contribute to sustainable urban growth.

This is so touching. President Droupadi Murmu wiping the tears of Lt Shashank Tiwari’s grieving mother 🥹
Just 23 years old & barely six months into service, Shashank saw a fellow Agniveer being SWEPT AWAY by a powerful mountain stream.
He did not hesitate. He jumped in, saved a life, and paid with his own💔
The Kirti Chakra honours bravery. Lt Shashank Tiwari embodied it. In an age where courage is often spoken about, he lived it in its purest form.
We're proud 🇮🇳
Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
In this extreme heat, let us also remember the birds and animals around us. A small bowl of water kept outside your home, balconies, terraces, shops or offices can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird. May compassion guide us in these difficult days.
Whenever possible, call and check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during this heatwave. Remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out in peak afternoon hours and take rest whenever possible.
Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea or extreme fatigue. If someone around you feels unusually unwell, weak or develops a headache, it is best to help move them to a cool and shaded place immediately. Ensure they get water, ORS etc. that helps them. Children, the elderly and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat. Ignoring these warning signs can quickly turn dangerous and may even lead to heatstroke. In such weather, timely care and attention go a long way.
Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.
