🚨 Delhi’s toxic air isn’t just choking people. It’s cutting pregnancies short.

Nearly 1 in 8 babies in Delhi are now born premature.

In just 5 years, the preterm birth rate has shot up by 21%.

Doctors are increasingly linking it to toxic air pollution. Behind the smog are babies in NICUs, mothers struggling through pregnancy, and a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.

New opinion piece in @IndianExpress draws on UNHDR 2025 and argues how AI acts like a mirror, reflecting and amplifying the values, structures, and inequalities of the societies that shape it. Happy to hear thoughts.

My new article, "The Chimera Called AI Hub" in https://t.co/WNQEtxdPyg, argues how AI hubs risk becoming vast data pipelines feeding Big Tech’s global models while the data of Indian citizens, institutions power algorithms monetised elsewhere, amplifying digital colonialism.

The Chimera Called AI Hub: The New Face of Tech Dependence and Data Extraction

If we are serious about “Digital India,” it must be our digital India, not a data colony wrapped in tricolour branding.

@ShashiTharoor This is not in good taste. Unless this was deliberate. How is it that a person of such sophisticated language skills, doesn't know that emphasising "bihari" before driver would never send the right kind of message?

Hype-based narratives on emerging technologies are a form of power grab to preemptively close the debate and prevent democratic deliberations. Wrote for @360info_global

A wonderful article by Naseeruddin Shah. I entirely subscribe to his views. We were, fortunately, insulated from bigotry. I find the same wonderful ethos in my interaction with most Army colleagues. There will always be some who are different because of the anonymity of WhatsApp
