[Upendra V Kukanur @upendravk]

@sharankg @CountryGulshan Yes. Good quality cashews ranges from Rs. 700-1000 per KG.

[Upendra V Kukanur @upendravk]

@CountryGulshan It is always adviced to buy the cashews from local Goan's stores, not from the Delhi, UP people.

Kudos to @SWRRLY @drmubl for upgrading #12276 #Intercity Express with modern #LHB coaches. Clean interiors, better comfort, and a much-improved travel experience.

[Upendra V Kukanur @upendravk]

Maximum speed recorded: 122 km/h 🚄

Now it's up to us passengers to keep these coaches clean and hygienic. #Railways #LHBCoach

@Hubballi_Infra @BhatAnvesh @varungrao @Namma_Dharwad @Namma_HD @nagabhushanb @hublimandi @sachin80025 Yes! Work is going on in good pace. It is supposed to be completed in 48 months.

The exclusion of Dinesh Gundu Rao @dineshgrao from the State Cabinet is puzzling. Dinesh is a front-ranking leader of Karnataka Congress — a twice Minister, six-time MLA who has never lost an election, former President of Karnataka Congress, and the Brahmin face of the party — yet he has been left out. Strangely, neither the AICC nor the government has any answer to offer. Will he be given something else?

In a Telangana town, a bull comes to a dosa stall each morning for a snack.
The stall owner, the bull's friend, makes him two dosas with no-spice potato masala. The bull waits patiently until they are done.
After he fan cools the dosas he feeds them to his friend.
This routine has been on for years.

Manish Pandey deserves a special appreciation for taking one of the greatest ever catches.

- The reaction of Tyagi, David and Kohli says it all, Kohli personally went and hugged him. ❤️

At Hubballi, I got a chance to meet Sachin Arakeri, founder of Tangy Tong, a beverage brand trying to popularise non-coffeneited, non-carbonated, relatively lower sugar beverage options.

Sachin comes from an industrial production background and has worked as an R&D head at Vibhava Industries, an FMCG brand. His co founders Rohit and Abhijit bring strong R&D and marketing experience respectively.

What they are building is interesting.

Their belief is simple. Most soft drinks today are carbonated, high on sugar, and unhealthy. Instead, they are building fruit based functional beverages that are non-carbonated, hydrating, filling, and relatively low on sugar.

For context, their 250 ml drink contains about 10-12 grams of sugar per serving size of 100ml.

They have spent the last 12-18 months on R&D, working on taste, texture, and viscosity. I tried their lychee flavor and it was genuinely impressive. The kind of drink you would expect at a premium restaurant, but currently priced at Rs 50.

Their insight about consumption is simple. Young consumers today repeatedly consume sugary, caffeinated, carbonated drinks through the day. Why not offer something that is refreshing and hydrating, without caffeine and with lower sugar.

They have already built around 10 flavors and have tested the product across hotels and small stores in Hubballi. There are repeat orders coming in, and early signs of product market fit are visible. So far, they have sold around 8000 to 10000 units in the last 2 months of launch.

What stood out even more was the hustle.

They are currently using Dharwad's agricultural university bottling unit on rent. The team runs production, packaging, and distribution themselves. From running boilers in the morning to selling in the market, everything is hands on.

They are now looking to scale through contract manufacturing and expand distribution to cities like Bengaluru.

The team has been working without salaries so far and is now beginning to explore fundraising. It is early, just about 2 months into the market, but the intent, domain knowledge and execution are strong.

Personally, I feel a product like this could see strong traction in Bengaluru as well. They do have plans of introducing more premium options for the ultra health conscious segment too.

If you are in the beverage space, understand distribution, or are interested from an investment perspective, happy to connect you to Sachin.

Cheering for Sachin and the team.

ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಶುಭ ಸುದ್ಧಿ

ನಮ್ಮ ಭಾಗದ ಜನರ ಬಹುದಿನಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಿ, ನೈಋತ್ಯ ರೈಲ್ವೆಯ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ವಿಶೇಷ ರೈಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಇಂದಿನಿಂದ 'ನಿಯಮಿತ ಸೇವೆ'ಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿ (Regular Train Services) ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದು ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಗೆ ಹೊಸ ವೇಗ ನೀಡಲಿದೆ.

ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ - ವಿಜಯಪುರ ರೈಲುಗಳ ನಿಯಮಿತ ಸಂಚಾರ: ರೈಲು ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 56919/20 ಹಾಗೂ 66501/02 ರೈಲುಗಳು ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ನಿಯಮಿತವಾಗಿ ಸಂಚರಿಸಲಿದ್ದು ಇದರಿಂದ ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ, ಗದಗ, ಬಾಗಲಕೋಟೆ ಹಾಗೂ ವಿಜಯಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ನಿತ್ಯ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ, ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಸ್ಥರಿಗೆ ಹಾಗೂ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗಲಿದೆ.

ಹೃಷಿಕೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ನೇರ ರೈಲು ಸಂಪರ್ಕ: ರೈಲು ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 17363/64 ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ - ಯೋ�� ನಗರಿ ಹೃಷಿಕೇಶ ವಾರಕ್ಕೊಮ್ಮೆ ಸಂಚರಿಸುವ ರೈಲು ಈಗ ನಿಯಮಿತ ಸೇವೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಉತ್ತರ ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳುವ ಯಾತ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರಿಗೆ ವರ್ಷಪೂರ್ತಿ ಸುಲಭ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಒದಗಿಸಲಿದೆ.

ಇಂದು ಶ್ರೀ ಸಿದ್ಧಾರೂಢ ಸ್ವಾಮೀಜಿ ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದಿಂದ ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ - ವಿಜಯಪುರ ನೂತನ ನಿಯಮಿತ ರೈಲಿಗೆ ( ಮೆಮು ರೈಲು, MEMU- Mainline Electric Multiple Unit.) (ರೈಲು ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ: 66501) ಹಸಿರು ನಿಶಾನೆ ತೋರುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಚಾಲನೆ ನೀಡಲಾಯಿತು.

ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿ ಶ್ರೀ @narendramodi ಅವರ ದೂರದೃಷ್ಟಿಯ ನಾಯಕ��್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರತೀಯ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ದೇಶದ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ವೇಗ ತುಂಬುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ನೂತನ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಜನರ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಸುಗಮ, ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತ ಹಾಗೂ ವೇಗದಾಯಕವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ರೈಲುಗಳ ನಿಯಮಿತ ಸೇವೆಯಿಂದಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಆರ್ಥಿಕವಾಗಿಯೂ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಲಾಭವಾಗಲಿದೆ. ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ದರ್ಜೆಯ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಸೂಪರ್‌ಫಾಸ್ಟ್ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ಶ��ಲ್ಕವಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಮೀಸಲು ದರ್ಜೆಯ ಟಿಕೆಟ್ ದರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಮಾರು 30% ರಷ್ಟು ಕಡಿತವಾಗಲಿದ್ದು, ಪ್ರಯಾಣವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕೈಗೆಟಕುವ ದರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗಲಿದೆ.

ಈ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿಯ ನೈಋತ್ಯ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ವಲಯದ (SWR) ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಜನರಲ್ ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜರ್ ಶ್ರೀ ಪಿ ಅನಂತು ಹಾಗೂ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತರಿದ್ದರು.
