Communicate Karo

A few days ago, a video went viral of a schoolgirl with disabilities in both legs walking nearly two kilometers to her school. Many people, including celebrities, raised the issue and demanded that the Gopalganj (Bihar) administration provide her with a hand-tricycle. After massive outrage and media coverage, officials finally reached the village, handed her a tricycle, and promptly uploaded pictures on social media. The DM happily took the credit (image). Within just four days, the so-called sarkari tricycle broke down and stopped working (video). What the hell is this? Did they give her some third-class junk or a second-hand repainted tricycle just to stage a photo-op and claim credit? If this is the level of insincerity and negligence even in a case that went viral across the entire internet, one can only imagine the sincerity of the system in thousands of cases that never get any attention at all.

14th edition of @xamdavad Meetup was bursting with energy, a room full of ideas, old friends, and new insights. From public health to public transport, from community building to personal branding, we covered it all. The knowledge-sharing sessions were as rich as the offline conversations that followed. What stood out? The way people are using X not just as a platform, but as a tool for professional growth, civic engagement, and real-world impact. Offline > Online? This meetup proved it’s not either/or — it’s both. It was fun. 🤩 #xAhmedabadMeet @jatin10 @XCorpIndia

i-Hub Gujarat & @eChaiVentures successfully hosted the “Ahmedabad Startup Day”. The marketing for startups panel was an interactive one; the panelists shared insights into how to effectively build marketing strategies for different domains.

@grok what’s your assessment of X profile of @kumarmanish9 What’s positive and negative about the account.

As AI reshapes industries and human interactions, startups have an opportunity (and responsibility) to innovate responsibly. Had the privilege of co-hosting a fascinating session along with @jatin10 with Michael Hsieh, Fellow at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation and former technology leader at DARPA The most fascinating thing to know about how DARPA has developed cutting edge technology for military purposes but now majority of it is used by civilians like internet, GPS, CD disc player among others. ( Do google DARPA) The event was co-organized by @eChaiVentures @communicatekaro @GUSECIndia, American Corner Ahmedabad, & US Consulate General, Mumbai.

@facebook is replacing fact checkers with community notes like @X . - Mark Zuckerberg. “Fact checkers just have been too political and have destroyed more trust than they created.” This is a defining moment.

Celebrating the Spirit of Community at #eChaiAwards last night at @DevX_Work . An evening of connection, collaboration, and community!

A student who commutes daily to school on a @OfficialGsrtc bus transformed his journey into a unique gift by creating a detailed miniature model of the bus and presenting it to the Rapar depot. Irfan Anwar Mir, a 12th-grade student crafted the two-foot model complete with 52 seats, lighting, and functional doors and lights. For Irfan, public transport isn’t just a service-it’s a lifeline, empowering his & many others' education and future. This heartfelt tribute shows how public transport changes lives. @sanghaviharsh @MORTHIndia @ITDP_HQ @WRICitiesIndia @urbanvoicesin Credit : @sunnysweet201
