Amit Shahs operations management and execution should be taught in businesses and colleges. I can’t think of many in industry who can deliver with this efficiency.
Bengal will see Expressways, Vande Bharats & Investments. It sits at such a strategic geographic location, that it’s a shame it was lagging behind.
It’s time for the rise of Bengal. The resurgence of the erstwhile Capital of India, Kolkata.
Beating Trinamool Congress in West Bengal in 2026 would be like defeating BJP in Gujarat. if it happens, it would be one of the biggest political moments in India.
It is extremely difficult to dislodge TMC from Bengal.
Bengal had 27% Muslims in 2011, now it may be anywhere between 32–35%. They all vote for TMC. Imagine going into a fight where you need 51% to win, and 32–35% is already in your kitty.
The remaining 65–68% are divided. Some vote for TMC for its socialist policies, some out of fear of repercussions if they don’t, some belong to a self-proclaimed intellectual class whose sole identity is hating BJP, and some older voters remain loyal to the communists, effectively splitting the vote.
So, BJP winning Bengal would be nothing short of a miracle. I hope it happens.

What a “Soul Stirring” movie! While it doesn’t sugar coat the struggles it also showed the harsh reality of the migrant workers during Covid! But the heart of the movie lies in its subtle, unspoken bonds. Moved me big time! @ishaankhatter kudos to you and Vishal!
Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.
Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.
It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.
Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.
This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.
This is an early look, and right now only available to Pro subscribers. We will work hard to improve the quality over time and to find a way to bring it to Plus subscribers too.
Huge congrats to @ChristinaHartW, @_samirism, and the team for building this.
If a plane had to fall on a residential building to inflict maximum casualty it would fall on a hostel mess during lunch time, that too budding doctors who are most needed during such a crisis. Nightmarish 2 months for India.
