Whenever I come across such stories, I feel more confident about India's growth story!
Here's a farmer who earned INR 6L from lady finger (bhendi) and INR 4L from pumpkin!
All this within 6 months!
Earlier his plants were dying earlier due to various pests.
By using BharatAgri services, he reduced the incidents of pest attack by more than 50%!
He wants to form a group of farmers who will follow these practices on 50 acres in the village. And increase village income to INR 2Cr annually!
In the last 12 months, he has placed 90+ orders on the BharatAgri app!
He said he wants a gift on crossing the century mark!
What should we gift him?

BharatAgri private label just became operationally profitable!
It will now start generating cash flow for the business!
When we started this private label just 9 months ago, we wanted to fill a key gap in the market.
We advise new age products to farmers that reduce their chemical usage, improve soil health and increase their profits.
But such products were not easily available with offline retailers.
Launching this private label made it easy for farmers to follow advanced farming practices.
And hence our private label has almost doubled every month in sales!
Why I will never switch from my EV to one of these new gas cars.
1. Range anxiety - I am used to being on 100% every morning. With a gas car, I might not have enough gas to get to work and have to waste time going to recharge it.
2. Big maintenance problem - After 100k-200k miles you have to swap or rebuild the engine. That’s $10-20k on an old car. This is crazy!
3. Risk of fire - Gas cars have ~100x the likelihood of catching fire compared to EVs. You literally have a full tank of explosive liquid right underneath your back seats. No thank you!
4. Underdeveloped charging infrastructure - Every home has a power outlet. Every AirBnb has one too. No matter how remote. With a gas car, you have to go find special charging stations instead of charging while you sleep. Sometimes, the nearest one could be 50 miles away!
5. Environmental impact - Did you know it takes about 10x as much mining and pumping to get the oil needed to fuel a gas car over its lifetime than the materials needed to build an electric battery? Insane!
6. Range issues - Did you know that if you turn on aircon, charge your devices in the car and blast the infotainment system, your gas car range can go down by 20% or more?!
7. Cost - The average gas car costs 20% more than a Tesla. It’s just too expensive for mass adoption.
You have to be a real nutcase fan boy to switch to a gas car!

Today Dr. Tal Becker and Israel’s legal team presented its case to the @CIJ_ICJ.
With them stood the souls of the more than 1,000 Israelis who were murdered by Hamas on October 7th and are unable to testify.
Watch Dr. Becker’s opening remarks:
This is a must-read. When @SenDanSullivan visited @Harvard, he couldn't believe what he saw in the library. As Dan writes:
Nearly every student in the packed room was wearing a kaffiyeh. Fliers attached to their laptops read: “No Normalcy During Genocide—Justice for Palestine.” A banner stated in blazing blood-red letters, “Stop the Genocide in Gaza.”
Senator Sullivan struck up a conversation with organizers of the anti-Israel protest. One asked if he supported a ceasefire in Gaza and when he said he didn’t because he believes Israel has the right to defend itself, they said: “You’re a murderer” and “You support genocide”

My country, the only Jewish country in the world and the only democratic country in the Middle East, just released 6 terrorists in order to bring back home Ayisha and Belal - both of whom are Arab Muslims who were were kidnapped by the terrorist organization Hamas-ISIS.
It's ironic because these 6 terrorists, like other terrorists, have no problem killing, kidnapping or torturing Arabs like Ayisha and Belal just because they are Israeli citizens.
If you didn't get it by now, then you are an idiot so allow me to clarify again...this war is not between Arabs and Jews its between the IDF and the barbaric terrorist organization Hamas ❗️
Welcome HOME 🇮🇱 Ayisha
Welcome HOME🇮🇱 Belal
And we will not stop until everyone is back and Hamas-ISIS is destroyed ❗️
With many incumbent businesses rapidly embracing #GenAI, this means that a “disruption” opportunity that a startup was founded around may have shrunk or disappeared altogether. Every startup should assume this is happening and adjust their plans accordingly.

@isha_godara GAI will be accumulating way more data points and seeing connections and correlations than is possible by humans and systems today. It won’t make decisions but it will state probabilities.
I ended with a prediction: with the emergence of generative AI, ESG issues with portfolio companies will be alerted in real-time to fund managers and their LPs, so transparency will rise to a new level -- get ready for this!
