"I find it ironic that the status quo is to then turn around and impose restrictive terms on distillation, and to reserve the right to learn from customer usage and interaction data. If learning flows in only one direction, economic value converges toward the owners of the learning infrastructure rather than the creators of the knowledge itself. Therefore, it's imperative that we distribute the learning infrastructure to every firm so that they can control their own learning loop."

Well said.

There comes a time in life when you choose your peace without apology and distance yourself from those who disturb it. If you’ve been thinking about doing that, let today be the day.

Happy New Year!

Lionel Messi is one of those rare athletes whose story transcends sport. His journey from a child fighting physical odds to a footballer who redefined excellence has moved millions across the world. As someone who has lived the life of an athlete, I hold profound respect and admiration for what he represents perseverance humility and an uncompromising pursuit of greatness.

Yet as his recent visit to India unfolded parts of it felt chaotic and left me quietly uneasy. It compelled me to pause and reflect not in judgment but in genuine concern about what we were really trying to achieve.

I fully understand the economics of sport. I understand commercial realities global branding and the magnetism of icons. I do not fault Messi in any way. He has earned every opportunity that comes his way and admiration for greatness is natural even beautiful.

But admiration must also invite introspection.

As a society are we building a culture of sport or are we simply celebrating individuals from afar.

Millions were spent for moments of proximity photographs and fleeting access to a legend. And yes it is people’s money earned honestly and theirs to spend as they choose. Still I can’t help but feel a quiet sadness wondering what might have been possible if even a fraction of that energy and investment had been directed toward the foundations of sport in our country.

Playgrounds where children can run freely. Coaches who can guide young talent. Grassroots programmes that give opportunity to those who may never otherwise be seen. Spaces where sport is not a spectacle but a daily habit a teacher and a source of dignity.

Great sporting nations are not built by moments they are built by systems. By patience. By belief in the ordinary child with an extraordinary dream.

Icons like Messi inspire us and that inspiration matters deeply. But inspiration must be met with intent. With long term commitment. With choices that reflect not just what excites us today but what will strengthen us tomorrow.

If we truly wish to honour legends like Messi the most meaningful way to do so is not through grand gestures but by ensuring that somewhere in India a young child has a field to play on a coach to believe in them and a chance to dream.

That is how sporting cultures are born. And that is how legacies endure.

Everyone who worked at Uber in 2017 know this but after the whole shit storm, in 2018, the now CEO Dara would answer anonymous questions posted by Uber employees during the all-hands. The anonymous questions became increasingly rude & not conducive for collaborative discussion about the company.

These rude questions would get great upvotes & engagement because obviously many people found it entertaining.

So at some point the office of the CEO decided anonymity wasn’t working. After they took away the anonymous Q&A for the all hands I remember civility returned & things cooled off a bit.

2017 was the last time we reached the Women's World Cup finals, & fell just 9 heartbreaking runs short of a championship. A 16 year old Jemimah, still over a year away from her own India debut, was there at the airport to cheer the team when they returned.
And eight years later....

To beat Australia chasing a world record 339 in a world cup semi-final , doesn’t get better than this. Incredible performance by our girls, one that will be remembered for years to come.
Wishing the very best for the Finals on Sunday. #INDWvsAUSW

@chandrarsrikant Have they released the headcount numbers? Couldn't see that in the article.

In 2007, sitting at my desk in Microsoft I got an email that my H1B visa was rejected. It was crushing and numbing at that moment, but life-changing eventually when I moved back to 🇮🇳. To those impacted today, be positive. There is something much bigger & better in store for you.

This @ACKOIndia folks are saying that they can't let us download the policy, and we definitely need an app.

Thats because the Privacy Policy and security of the website falls short of expectations and they have disabled access. If you intend to buy policy, stay away from Acko.
