More than 10 billion devices run on his idea.
He made $0 from every single one ~ and he planned it that way. 🤯

Meet Ajay Bhatt 🇮🇳🇺🇸

> Indian-American engineer. Born 1957 in Vadodara, Gujarat.
> Came to the US with a master's degree and joined Intel in 1990.
> One frustrating night, he couldn't connect a printer for his daughter's homework.
> He asked: why isn't there ONE universal port?
> His boss said it would never work. Told him to drop it.
> He didn't.
> Built it with fellow Intel engineer Bala Cadambi.
> Then united 7 fierce rivals ~ Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq, DEC, NEC, Nortel ~ behind one shared standard.
> Apple fought it with FireWire. USB was cheaper. USB won.
> USB 1.0 launched in 1996. He went on to build USB 2.0 and 3.0.
> Intel made it royalty-free ~ free for the entire planet. 🚀
> Bhatt earned not a dime in personal royalties. By choice.
> 2009: Intel made him a "rock star" in a viral ad ~ played by a hired actor, not him.
> 2025: India finally honored him with the Padma Shri.

The man who connected the world.
And asked for nothing in return.

Absolute Legend 🐐

Hi,

We would like to clarify that,

- Allowing HDFC Gold ETF (“Scheme”) to invest in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCDs) is only an enabling provision, as per existing SEBI regulations.

- This does not change how the Scheme normally operates.

- Investment in ETCDs will be considered only in rare situations, such as when there is a temporary shortage of physical gold in the market.

- The Scheme does not intend to use ETCDs as part of its regular strategy.

- The core approach of the Scheme remains the same; Invest in physical gold to the maximum extent possible & keep the remaining portion in cash and net current assets.

- Our Current allocation reflects this approach: 98.65% in physical gold, 1.35% in cash, cash equivalents and net current assets (as on Feb 28, 2026)

In simple terms:
Physical gold continues to be the primary focus. ETCDs are only a backup option for exceptional situations.

As seen in the table from my latest memo, drawdowns in small caps during the January–March period—measured from the January peak to the February/March trough—are not an exception; they are a recurring feature of market cycles. Just as consistently, these phases have been followed by sharp recoveries once the market establishes a bottom in February or March.
Current sentiment is such that investors are overly focused on the negatives, making the environment appear so foggy that positives have become invisible. This fog, as always, will eventually lift.

While market bottoms and the depth of drawdowns can never be predicted, it is highly probable that market levels a few months from now will be disproportionately higher. Unfortunately, short-term declines are unsettling for investors, causing many to step aside and miss the eventual strong upswing.

In hindsight, this phase will look like an obvious opportunity. But while living through it, investors see only risks and landmines—never the runway for the next flight

Holy moly! If you buy SGBs in the market (not from primary issuance) you will pay full tax on capital gains when the bond is redeemed! This is from April 1, 2026

Very negative for SGBs if you have bought in the market.

Disappointing @EurekaForbes AquaGuard service! Degraded quality this year, can't provide service for more than 10 days #EurekaForbes #AquaGuard #ServiceIssues

[Vivek Lengade @viveklengade]

@urbancompany_UC Horrible experience. Professional did not start service in app and started the service later he left the service in middle. No way to connect with back office.

The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

Hey @WhatsApp, need urgent help! Tried all troubleshooting steps, reset phone, reinstalled WhatsApp, but still unable to receive verification codes after 24+ hours. SMS & call functions working fine. Any assistance ASAP would be greatly appreciated. #WhatsAppIssue

@JioCare one of the worst experience with Jio. Customer service and staff in stores don’t know how to deal with situations. This clearly shows that only they are not matured enough . @reliancejio .

@HDFCBank_Cares How many employees you have? Every day I get call from HDFC bank for personal loan and credit card. Even tough I am registered in DND and also have HDFC CC.

[Vivek Mashrani, CFA @MashraniVivek]

HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance should get award for their perseverance to call people 50+ times in a day for personal loan..

And call receiver should be given share of HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance from company for waste of time

What say?
