To hell with Make in India. @cbic_india

307 kg single shipment of high-value leather goods, manufactured by us for one of the largest financial institutions in the world, was held at Kolkata customs for physical inspection.

They physically opened 5 of the 17 cartons to "inspect".

And this is not a one-time instance. I am certain this continues to happen with many exporters. Chemicals, pharma, textiles, etc. Please, please comment if you've been/going through this tunnel as well.

Ours, after all, are simple leather goods. Can Indian customs assure that none of these goods was retained during this "inspection"?

I bring USD to India. Through back-to-back e-commerce orders and customised high-value shipments. We aspire to compete with Montblanc and Cartier. How do we do that when our consignments are held up for days at Indian customs during exports (even barring this particular 307 kg shipment)?

I am happy to share the SB no. with the relevant authorities.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Amazing that instead of East Asia, AMD wanted to Make India its Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub and was investing 3 Billion$ in a Fab in India back in 2005 but it all fell apart just because,

When their Equipment came it got stuck at customs and wasn’t cleared leading to return!

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.

Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.

Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.

Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.

Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."

Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.

Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

Mythos kind of AI will reshape India. There's no escape. Change for the better fast or get wrecked. CBSE or IRCTC or HDFC or Ambani or Adani, none will be spared by such AI in the hands of adversaries unless these Indian orgs and companies invest in the right innovations and adapt. But if they still continue to have lousy cyber security policies and continue to be stingy about IT and innovation, god save India. The adversaries are going to mess with us big time.

It is a tragedy that a state that produced Vivekananda, Netaji, AJC Bose, Tagore, Bankim and Vidyasagar is today thought of merely a source of household help in the rest of India. While there is nothing wrong in working as a maid or driver (all honest labour should be respected), the cultural and economic decline of my home state is not the joke that this gentleman seems to think. Some of us witnessed the collapse over half a century, and find this obnoxious.
