This is what happens when a Babu whose only expertise is corruption grants a tender based on kickbacks.
I have seen 6 crores per year being paid for single page websites that were a commodity even in 2015.
Whoever granted the tender must be investigated
Landing soon, @spc_india!
Curiosity 2026 — Hard Tech Edition.
The most ambitious builders. The hardest problems. One event.
May 30–31, Bengaluru.
Details coming soon, watch this space!
Why am I so hopeful about India’s young, leading India to greatness?
Read this post.
Yesterday, I inaugurated the factory of Arctus, a young startup building unmanned aircraft in Bengaluru.
All the founders, led by Sri Purna, are 2024 graduates from IIT Madras. Not one of them looks a day older than 25. Gen Z. From modest backgrounds. But powered by audacious dreams.
Three things stood out for me at this event.
One, an India where institutions like IIT Madras are not just granting degrees, but enabling ideas to become products, products to become companies, and companies to create wealth. This is the template more universities must adopt.
Two - After the initial incubation in IIT-Madras, they moved to Bengaluru to build their factory. A city with unmatched depth of talent, risk capital, mentorship, and manufacturing capability. This ecosystem is our city’s strategic advantage. We must strengthen it further.
And third and most importantly, an India where government is no longer a gatekeeper, but a partner. Sri Purna shared how agencies like DRDO and ADA, including the Chitradurga testing facility, have actively supported their journey. A decade ago, this would have been unthinkable. PM Modi’s Government is not a regulator. It is a facilitator.
This is the transformation of the last ten years.
This is the legacy of Narendra Modi.
Young Indians who don’t just aspire, but build. Who don’t just dream, but deliver.
It is these founders, these ideas, these risks that will power India to Viksit Bharat.
If you want to see the future of India, don’t look at reports.
Look at these young builders.
That is the power of a confident, resolute India.
Onwards guys, my best wishes.

"Can technology deliver us materially better prosperity at scale?" Thats the question that drives Armor.
There isnt a better person to be helping us build this @prateekmehta42 🙏
Real, working demos are hard. Making them excellent is harder. At @spc_india doing hard things, is the thing! That was the brief for our second ever Demo Faire in India!
Here's a quick highlight of the evening, followed by all the demos from SPC India companies!

🚨 BREAKING: Swiggy shutters Snacc
Food and grocery major Swiggy has decided to shutter Snacc, a dedicated app it launched for 15-minute food deliveries, just a year after the offering was launched as the company struggled to make orders profitable, as per an internal email seen by Moneycontrol.

@bmwindia@bmwindia I hate to do this but you force me to do this everytime. My vehicle is soaking sun at your dealership who has failed to provide any concrete update after 4 days.
Best way to sink a crore and buy some misery. @BMWGroup@BMW
It’s been just over a year of @southpkcommons in India.
The defining word has been "inflections".
Changes in the ecosystem, shifts in my own perspectives, big wins, and big spikes.
Thoughts on these, from my keynote at the SPC BLR annual event. 🧵
