Prime Minister Modi-ji's Independence Day call to Indian companies to join the ranks of leading global companies is deeply inspiring.
It means a stronger and deeper commitment to R&D at every level. Bharat must lead in algorithms and atoms, AI and photons, lenses and magnets, robots and rockets and all the technologies in between. We have the brains to do it!
His bold vision inspires us to work harder at Zoho.
Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind 🫡
A historic new frontier for India’s space journey!
At 11:30 AM today, Skyroot Aerospace will undertake the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle.
This four-stage rocket is designed to provide rapid and on-demand launch services. This mission highlights the talent, determination and entrepreneurial spirit of our youth. It also shows how our space-sector reforms are unlocking new opportunities for innovation and enterprise.
My best wishes to the entire Skyroot Aerospace team for a successful launch. May Vikram-1 soar high, create history and inspire a generation of innovators.
I urge all Indians, especially my young friends, to follow this historic mission and join in wishing Team Skyroot success using #IndiaWithVikram1.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

Day 1&2: Healing Little Hearts ♥️ Liv Forever camp -7, Cairo 🩵 Arrived just after midnight with a great team of 9 volunteers from @AlderHey whilst England beating Norway at the World Cup football ⚽️ Hit straight to theatre this morning and we performed 4 open heart surgeries with the brilliant local team. Hoping for a great camp for Liv & family and for her cardiac cousins in Egypt 🇪🇬 @HLHcharity@HeartCentreAld1@PICU_AHCH
Day 3&4: ❤️ Healing Little Hearts 💕 Liv Forever Camp-7 💙 Cairo. 6 open heart surgeries performed in these two days. Children are recovering well. The Ain Shams local team and the visiting team are working hard, round the clock for an impactful mission, and the results are amazing. Children need a holistic care in their recovery and the teams do their best. 🫶🫶 @PICU_AHCH@HeartCentreAld1@AlderHey@HLHCharity

Sushruta invented Surgery.
This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.
I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

Nobel Prize laureate Demis Hassabis was awarded the Nobel Prize for using AI to predict the structure of proteins. For him, AI is a tool that will help scientists make even more discoveries in the years to come.
Hassabis took part in our Nobel Prize Dialogue ‘The Future of Science With AI’ which discussed how AI might transform science in the future.

The idea of an all-new ‘Flying Sikh’ understandably captured headlines this past weekend.
And perhaps no event in athletics grips the world quite like the 100 metres sprint. The search for the world’s fastest human being.
As schoolchildren, we watched Jim Hines break the 10-second barrier at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. At the time, it was hard to imagine India ever entering that conversation.
Which is why the performances of Gurindervir Singh and Animesh Kujur feel so significant. They make us believe we do have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
India’s national record stood at 10.26 as recently as 2023. We have now moved to 10.09 in remarkably little time.
I checked on the net and found that Olympic finalists are typically in the 9.8–9.9 range.
World Championship semifinalists are often around 10.0–10.1.
And Asian/Commonwealth medal contention can happen around 10.0–10.15 depending on the field.
So Gurindervir is now operating at the edge of genuine international competitiveness.
(For perspective, let’s not forget that Su Bingtian of China ran 9.83 at the Tokyo Olympics semifinals in 2021.)
The final frontier, of course, is the mythical sub-10 barrier. One of sport’s rarest achievements.
A huge challenge still lies ahead.
But watching Gurindervir explode off the blocks and streak to the tape was exhilarating.
I’d like to start my week with that same momentum…🙂

#TotalHealth | Genetic blood disorders like Thalassemia and Hemophilia can largely be prevented through awareness and timely screening. Are these conditions always inherited from parents? Does Hemophilia affect only boys, or can girls also develop the disorder? From early symptoms and diagnosis to the need for repeated blood transfusions, the role of gene therapy, and preventive screening, experts discuss every crucial aspect in detail.
Learn how awareness, precaution, and timely medical tests can help protect future generations from serious inherited blood disorders.
