In case of Claude Pro, the mobile app version is cheaper than the web version.

Asked Claude why.

Apparently, App Store/Play Store pricing uses a periodically updated USD to INR conversion rate, while the web version uses the real-time exchange rate and that's what causes the difference.

[Ankit @speakupankit]

Claude Pro's annual pack in the mobile app vs. the web app is INR 2400 cheaper.

Is there a difference in access/usage as well? Anyone?

[Ankit @speakupankit]

@Rahul_J_Mathur As more companies jump into data labeling, they end up competing with each other for the same set of buyers, giving those buyers the pricing power and splitting revenue thin across everyone.

@ShubhAgrawal26 Looking to connect with who handles hills and rivers in the valley. If you're that person, please accept my invitation.

@pranesh @neeleshmisra @digilocker_ind Users during their onboarding on the Digilocker app allow these accesses on their own.

@mojito_09_ @bot @cursor_ai @SpaceXAI Yup. Doing well.

Being close to sunshine, beaches and boats definitely helps. 😄

Thankful to Gurgaon for giving me all this without much of a hike in the cost of living.

Swimming my way to client meetings.

[Ankit @speakupankit]

Need the full list.

Curious to see what happens to:

- Salmon Bhai
- Yuva Neta Rahul Gandhi
- PM Modi

My CM will bring out the bulldozer if anyone tries to touch him or play this game with him. 😂

Americans are waiting until 30+ to tie the knot, but Denmark takes being single personally.

​If you turn 25 unmarried in Denmark, your friends tie you to a pole and douse you in cinnamon. Still single at 30? They upgrade to black pepper.

Seems like everyone is betting on me.

Except me.

@narayananh Not true.

Pummy's Amritsari Kulcha in Mangolpuri are the best. No match.

Something interesting is happening around the world.

The playing field is changing.

Bangladesh beating Australia in cricket. Ireland beating India.

Paraguay knocked out four-time World Champions Germany at FIFA 2026, and Morocco did the same to the Netherlands.

Gen-Z protests forcing a rare government concession in India.

Aditya Dhar’s films becoming blockbusters while some legacy Bollywood houses, Yashraj and Dharma Productions, struggle.

Lovable, barely two years old, reaching a $13.3B valuation and overtaking Figma, a decade-old company.

None of these is extraordinary on its own.

Underdogs have always won.

What feels different is the frequency.

Scale, reputation, incumbency, and institutional power don’t seem as powerful as they used to be.

Speed. Technology. Community. Adaptability.

These are becoming new ways to win.

Maybe the world doesn’t change through one big event. Maybe it changes through hundreds of small upsets.

The playing field is changing.

@nitprashant So when do we see the builders regrouping.

[Ankit @speakupankit]

@narayananh Watched the movie today.

Loved it. But this question remained as I watched hindi dubbed version.

Thanks for clarifying.

[Ankit @speakupankit]

Why this movie name is Balan: The Boy?

Any Malayali in my network who can explain?

I mean the boy had many names but Balan was none of them.

@narayananh any clue?

[Ankit @speakupankit]

@narayananh Oh I thought, it's a name or surname.

Thanks a lot for clarifying.

@vivekraju93 Zudio does ads. But it’s super targeted and ridiculously cheap.

SMS to existing customers.

Ads on the Truecaller widget.

No fancy campaigns. Just smart distribution.

Sometimes, good marketing is less about spending more and more about spending where attention already exists.

We don't celebrate the heroes and sheroes of our independence enough.

Maybe because we no longer fully understand the value of independence.

We're slowly losing the generation that witnessed those times and carried stories of pre-independence India with them.

Being an independent nation is a blessing.

And what India has achieved in 79 years, despite all the odds, is remarkable.

I love the spirit of our people—the resilience, ambition and belief that tomorrow can be better than today.

That spirit motivates me every day to do my best.

We need more people who don't just love India, but care deeply about its people and its future.

I believe India will soon be among the world's top 3 economies.

Let's build it together.

Happy 80th Independence Day, India. 🇮🇳

Love seeing how AI has woken up the builder inside investors/once builders.

Been following Vaibhav since the DataDoctor days. Also had the chance to interact once during Stoa.

He’s someone you can learn a lot about business/life.

Once a builder, always a builder.

Today we're launching Arbr.

Every team building with AI right now is quietly giving up control. Over which models they run. Over their data. Over what happens when a provider changes a price, deprecates a model, or ships an update that breaks production.

Arbr is about taking that back. We're calling it what it is: independence.

Independence from model lock-in. Route every call across any provider. Switch models without rewriting your stack.

Independence from vendor lock-in. Self-hosted, MIT licensed. Runs on your own infra, not a SaaS you rent.

Independence from model churn. New models ship every week. Shadow test and adopt them safely, on your terms, without betting production on a version bump.

Independence from flying blind. See every call. Score quality on live traffic. Turn what you learn into training data you own.

Arbr is the open control plane for AI workloads. Route, govern, observe, evaluate, capture, deploy. All self-hosted, all open source.

The closed stack was never going to give you independence. So we built the open one.

This is year one. Go try it, star it if it resonates, and tell us what breaks.
