@AryamanBharat @grok explain in simple terms please

[Rishi Verma @rishivrm9]

Saw an ad on Insta today for a startup to raise funds.

Is it like even legal?

Sahara founder was jailed for it as their advertised bonds were treated as a public issue by the Supreme Court.

D2C Experts, Investment experts please enlighten.

Should know the history of it. They sold it due to the circumstances as RIL started hostile takeover of L&T

[Sundara Rajan @sundarmail]

Ultratech Cement reaches 200 Million Tonnes, twice the US cement capacity.

Ideally, L&T should not have sold it to Birlas

[Pubity @pubity]

Bosch just bought Bosch from Bosch and Bosch for $970 million in the most confusing business deal of all time.

An Indian company, Bosch Limited, bought a manufacturer, Bosch Chassis Systems, from 2 parent companies also called Bosch. They're all Bosch but also aren't Bosch.

A single ant has 250,000 neurons. Your brain has 86 billion. That’s a 344,000x gap. And yet what you’re watching is a colony solving a category of problem that no computer can crack perfectly at scale.

It’s called the Steiner tree problem. Given a set of points, find the shortest possible network connecting all of them. First posed in 1811, proved essentially impossible to solve perfectly in 1972 (the computing time grows so fast with size that the world’s fastest supercomputer stalls on a few hundred points). Still one of the hardest open problems in mathematics.

Ants solve it with chemistry. When an ant walks a path, it leaves a chemical trail called a pheromone. That trail evaporates over time. Shorter paths get walked faster, so pheromone builds up before it fades. Other ants prefer stronger trails. The colony converges on the shortest route without any single ant knowing the full picture. Jean-Louis Deneubourg at the Free University of Brussels proved this in the early 1990s with a dead simple experiment: two bridges between a nest and food, one twice as long as the other. Within minutes, the colony picked the short one.

In 1991, computer scientist Marco Dorigo took that discovery and turned it into an algorithm (a set of step-by-step instructions for a computer) called Ant Colony Optimization. It’s now used to route wires inside microchips with billions of transistors (one study found an 8% reduction in wire length over traditional methods), plan delivery truck routes, and manage internet traffic. The phone you’re reading this on was partially designed using math that ants figured out 100 million years before humans existed.

A 2023 study out of Stanford and several other institutions found that turtle ants in the tropical forest canopy build trail networks across tangled branches and vines that approximately solve the Steiner tree problem with zero central control. No ant has any information about the full network. Each one just follows a rule: at each junction, go where the pheromone is strongest. The collective intelligence comes from thousands of these tiny decisions stacking up.

Stanford biologist Deborah Gordon has studied this for decades. She compares it directly to how brains work: no single neuron tells the others what to do, but together they produce thought. A 2024 Rockefeller University study found that individual ants decide whether to leave the nest using the same yes-or-no process that brain cells use to decide whether to switch on. The colony is, in a real mechanical sense, a brain spread across thousands of bodies.

In early 2025, a Weizmann Institute study pitted ant groups against human groups on a task almost identical to this video: navigating a T-shaped object through a series of obstacles. The bigger the human group, the worse they performed. Too many competing ideas about which direction to push. The bigger the ant group, the better they got. No ego, no debate, just pheromones and simple rules scaling into something that looks a lot like intelligence.

250,000 neurons each. No leader. No blueprint. Solving problems that stumped mathematicians for two centuries.

Also, his first election was not from congress. He joined congress later.

@aviralbhat Incorrect comparison Aviral.

You are comparing revenue of marketplace and inventory led.

The correct comparison would be Revenue of Blinkit vs Rapido GMV

All this is okay, I was not aware of your game @Wowmomo4u you operate in Bangladesh as well?

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Dhaka, Bangladesh | Ahead of the General Elections scheduled to be held in Bangladesh in 2026, Mounota Alam, a leader in the non-profit youth organisation, Junior Chamber International (JCI), says, "There are a lot of possibilities here in Bangladesh and there is a wonderful scope for startups and entrepreneurs. I definitely encourage them... Sports is also a rising opportunity here, especially marathons... India is a very big market, and there are a lot of opportunities there. Collaborating with such neighbouring countries is a massive opportunity for us... Any kind of economic unrest greatly impacts a country, and it is a threat to startups and entrepreneurs as well..."

@Rahul_J_Mathur This is a known logic, happens with most of the airlines and is called “Skiplagging”

You can check skiplag website to find such more deals where you can book longer flights but drop mid journey.

Hey @grok Without mentioning the people, use @ username, who checks my feed very often?

And my first international trip was sponsored by One Card. I was one of the early users with a mere 20K limit. They were running a scratch card offer on Diwali in 2021 where they were giving away a scratch card on their app when you shop above 500.

My first international solo trip was technically funded by Amazon.

They had just launched Amazon Pay and were running an in-app contest. I happened to make a purchase by topping up my Amazon Pay wallet, turns out luck was on my side.

I won an Amazon voucher worth ₹1 lakh!
Post tax deductions, I received two ₹35K vouchers.
Used those to buy MakeMyTrip vouchers on Amazon… and off I went to Thailand.

[Rishi Verma @rishivrm9]

I went to Maldives with my sibling. And my own expense for the complete trip was around 800rs which was also of the cab from my house to airport and back.

Also, I don’t use one card anymore 🥹

Enough is Enough! Blood and Bookings wont flow together. We are suspending all flight and hotel bookings for Turkey, China and Azerbaijan on ixigo.

#BJP MP Nishikant Dubey in Parliament quoted #Jewish Rabbi #Mukhayriq who was the close friend of Prophet Mohammed ﷺ. Mukhayriq fought for the Prophet in the battle of Uhud and died. He was the one who first gifted his orchard as the #Waqf to the Prophet.

How does Mr. Dubey know all this? Even religious Muslims never heard of Mukhayriq, neither do they know that he was buried in Madina along with the Prophet’s companions.

It’s obvious BJP has a team of researchers and they didn’t participate in the parliamentary debate extempore.

Unlike the opposition leader #Rahul Ji who came in Pyjamas and flipflops, and #Owaisi ji who merely yelled and tore the bill.

BJP came with advanced planning, equipped with religious and legal arguments.

Those who prepare and revise before the battle win. Those who are complacent lose! What did you learn?
