@KaeCapital By this logic VCs who start their fund after 34 should not charge management fees for 18 months.

[Madhav Chanchani @madhavchanchani]

So true.

@deepakabbot Most of these foresest covers are in Odisha, M.P, U.P, CG, Arunachal Pradesh. NCR regions need to pick up.

As businesses grow, founders have to learn to let go.

Scale cannot depend on one person making every decision.

Strong organisations are built by empowering people to think independently.

Trust is what allows a company to grow beyond its founder.

@agracadabra Is that Benne Bombay?

[Neel Chhabra @NeelChhabra]

Bhanu Chopra runs RateGain like a venture portfolio inside a public company... cash cows fund teenagers, teenagers fund babies, and the babies that survive become the next generation of what everyone eventually calls obvious. The rate intelligence business nobody believed in 2004 is now the infrastructure every revenue manager depends on. The Sojern acquisition that looked like an audacious overpay is now 1.5 billion travel graph IDs and the world's largest travel intent data platform. What makes this founder genuinely rare is the combination of traits that usually don't coexist... the incrementalist who thinks only 2-3 years ahead yet somehow keeps expanding the TAM every cycle... the conservative guidance-giver who has made a personal philosophy of under-promising and over-delivering... the man who lost 75% of revenue in a single client decision in 2012 and responded not by shrinking but by rebuilding with acquisitions that each cost a fraction of the value they delivered... Adara bought at 0.7x sales when RateGain itself traded at 7x.

@joshimanasi11 Congratulations 🎉 both of you.

If you haven’t yet visited the breathtaking beauty of Sijimali (Tijmali) in the tribal heartlands of Rayagada & Kalahandi, visit before it’s too late.
The bauxite rush threatens to destroy these sacred and beautiful hills forever as Vedanta pushes deeper into Odisha’s pristine landscape.

Odisha’s Nature, culture, and indigenous identity are at stake.

From Sijhimali to Kutrumali, resistance is spreading across Odisha.
These visuals are not just protests. They are warnings.

When tribal women themselves stand on the frontlines against CM Mohan Majhi’s pro-mining push, it sends a powerful message to Delhi — a tribal face cannot hide a corporate agenda forever.

Hundreds of Adivasi women have marched against Adani & Vedanta’s proposed Kutrumali and Sijhimali bauxite mining projects, exposing the reality behind BJP’s “tribal empowerment” narrative in Odisha.

Salute to this fearless woman standing alone against the mighty police force while explosions for coal mining continue in the background. This is the real face of resistance. This is real #NariShakti.

Women from more than 200 families are protesting against forceful land acquisition and eviction by Nalco and Mytri companies for coal mining projects in Odisha.

The govt-corporate nexus has turned the lives of tribals and local communities in mineral-rich regions into a nightmare. Yet, women are rising, resisting, and leading the struggle across Odisha’s mining belts.

Development cannot be built on displacement, fear, and destruction of livelihoods.

Lunch at Baiana Hotel, Jajpur with Gobinda bhai & renowned artist Kesu Das. Gobinda bhai, my senior from F.M. College days, then went TISS & now into social entrepreneurship. Keshu da is one of the very few lacquer artists in India focused on preserving & promoting Jau Kandhei.

@ergo_im poda aloo bharta

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

Went to Mitra Cafe in Patia for an early lunch, they weren’t ready to take orders. Ended up eating at Desii, a restaurant started by a MasterChef finalist. Liked the taste, better than Odisha Hotel. Pricing is a bit on the higher side, that's ok as the real-estate is high too.

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

@LiveAshish Ohh bap re. Really? Long time Ashish. Where are you these days ?

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

@Suj1t It's just alloo bharta. But it is kind of a smoky, roasted mashed potato. Then added some water, garlic, chili, mustard oil and all.

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

@PRaiLAC @debiprasadss Acha. Will definitely make a visit soon. Thanks for the suggestion, sir.

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

@Suj1t And the other one is Aloo poda jhola

[Subrat Kar @subratkar]

@Suj1t Hey, that's rice.
