I have been fortunate enough to visit several car manufacturing facilities over the years. Recently, I was invited by @VinFastofficial to visit their state-of-the-art factory at hai Phong, Vietnam. This short video showcases the body+weld shop and the final assembly line as well as the process of attaching the battery pack to the body of the car.
The main vehicles being made are the newly launched VF MPV7 and the VF5 SUV.

This is my friend Surbhi Sarna.
She came to Draper University in 2012.
She had painful ovarian cysts as a teenager, but doctors didn’t have tools that could detect cancer without harming the ovaries.
She studied molecular biology at UC Berkeley. Then came to DU.
Then she built nVision around a fiber optic line product that could go up the fallopian tubes to detect cancer without harming the ovaries.
Her medical device got FDA approval and nVision sold for $275 million to Boston Scientific.
200,000 women worldwide die each year from ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis by nVision can save many of these lives.
Incredibly proud to have invested in Surbhi, her mission and her product. She is one of the poster star heroes from Draper University and we will always be grateful.

🇺🇸 A top counterterrorism official in the Trump admin is under investigation… for seeking out sugar daddies
The complaint goes as follows: a man says he spent $40K on Julia Varvaro, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, in just 3 months.
Aruba. The Italian Riviera. The Swiss Alps. Milan. A $3,500 Bottega bag. Cartier jewelry. Half her rent.
Allegedly, the two met on Hinge and had a very expensive 3-month fling.
In texts, she called herself "boss princess" and told him she was "above being tested" when he warned her about drug use risking her clearance.
She allegedly had a profile on sugar daddy site Seeking under the name "Alessia," and claimed her jewelry was "trophies from sugar daddies" who also paid for her education.
Varvaro says she did nothing wrong and this is "just a mad ex-boyfriend putting crap together.”
The woman in charge of keeping Americans safe from terrorists is a 29-year-old sugar baby.
Ok then…

Gandhi didn't miss industrialization, he saw it and rejected it on purpose. Called it violent, exploitative, soul-destroying
Wanted self-sufficient villages running on spinning wheels and cottage crafts. Nehru disagreed but picked the Soviet model over the British one sitting right in front of him.
State-owned steel plants instead of private factories. Import substitution instead of exports. Consumer goods reserved for tiny firms by law.
India's founders didn't lack exposure to industry. They had an ideological allergy to letting private capital run it freely.
Japan sent the Iwakura Mission in 1871 - senior leaders touring factories, shipyards, railways across Europe and America.
Came back, killed the feudal system, sold government factories to private entrepreneurs at throwaway prices.
India London-educated leaders came back with law degrees and political philosophy, not engineering blueprints. Japan had no natural resources, no London connections, no English language. India had all three.
The difference was intent. Japan studied the West to copy its production systems. India studied the West to argue against its political systems.
The irony is Nehru did try to industrialize, He built Bhilai, BHEL, massive public sector units. But he also capped private firms, banned foreign companies, reserved consumer goods for village-scale production by law.
IBM and Coca-Cola were kicked out. Large firms needed a license to expand. So India got steel mills but no consumer economy around them.
Japan and Korea let private firms grow, compete, export. India gave its private sector a cage and called it self-reliance. The vision existed. The execution strangled it.
China early cabinets were full of engineers. India were full of lawyers. The training shapes what you even notice. A lawyer in London sees Parliament. An engineer sees the underground railway. India founders saw Parliament.
Kanpur is the proof that India didn't just miss industrialization, it actively destroyed what existed. The city was called Manchester of the East.
Textiles, leather, ordnance, all running before independence. Then came nationalization in the 1970s, and the mills started dying. Elgin Mills, Lal Imli blankets, all gone, 140 leather tanneries shut in five years.
A city that employed a million workers in leather alone now can't fill orders for Hong Kong fairs. India didn't lack industrial DNA. Policy just killed it.
The population argument doesn't hold up either. Delhi in 1900 had 400k people, London had 6.5 million, sure. But Tokyo was small too when Japan started industrializing in 1868.
The Meiji government didn't wait for cities to get big they built railways, telegraph lines, factories, and the cities grew around them.
Industrialization creates urban centers. Urban centers don't create industrialization. India's leaders treated cities as a problem to manage instead of engines to build around.
That sequencing error cost decades. I called it the whole OS is running on 1990 update
Well, I not know this much in details, did some Research :)

London had an underground railway in 1863. The first electric underground railway was built in 1891. Under-freaking-ground. In 1891. Gandhi (later Nehru and all freedom-fighting stalwarts) studied in London during that era. Surely they would have seen this underground railway but it’s surprising none of them said we should have a culture that builds this kind of thing in India when it’s free. Like how do you see an underground freaking railway in 18 freaking 91 and not get mesmerized by grand miracles of industrialization ? The one thing driving London during that era was industrialization. And yet they didn’t connect the two ? Japanese got that. You didn’t ? Like what was the grand plan ? Let’s free this country and turn it into a massive village ? That the country should have crooked, unplanned roads in cities 100 years after independence ? That the might of train engines should never be produced, and that no modern train engine, car engine or any modern industrial design should come out of the country ever ? To import every single thing from a neighbor that got to industrialization on its own despite not having any London-educated founding members ? Honestly what even was their vision for the country ? The masses are uneducated I get that. But the leaders didn’t have eyes ? They were right there in London! What was the option - to not be industrialized ? Rural economy forever ? Shitty cities ? Questions are rhetorical.

I took ~7 years off during undergrad. Worked at Starbucks, the postal service, a diner. Wasn't until making friends with some CS PhD students at UW Madison, who suggested sitting in on Eric Bach's class on the physics of computation, that I decided to go back (and then get a PhD)
Vru@vrundasays_
I need more examples of people in academia who haven't had a linear path at all and missed years on the way to PhD and still did their PhD. I don't wanna feel all isolated here

Raju Narayana Swamy was my classmate in IIT Madras. He also had a very high rank in IIT JEE 1985, my recollection was AIR 10 and he came from small town Kerala and most top rankers were from the big cities so he stood out.
Most of our classmates - including me - went abroad. He chose to stay in India.
Sann@san_x_m
His name is Raju Narayana Swamy. In 1991 he secured AIR 1 in UPSC. The best rank in the country that year. He had a computer science degree from IIT Madras. MIT offered him a scholarship. He turned it down. He said the poorest Indians had paid for his IIT education through their taxes. He owed them something back. So he joined IAS. His first posting: a real estate developer wanted to fill a paddy field. Sixty poor families said they would flood. He refused permission. He was transferred. He exposed illegal land deals by the children of Kerala’s Public Works Minister. The minister resigned. He was transferred. He uncovered corruption at the Coconut Development Board. Officers were suspended. He was transferred. He fought corruption in civil supplies. He was removed before he could finish. 32 transfers in 34 years. He once wrote formally asking why he was being paid a salary for work that was never assigned to him. In 2025 the Supreme Court dismissed his plea for promotion to Chief Secretary. Despite AIR 1. Despite 30 years of service. He also wrote 34 books. Won the Sahitya Akademi Award. Holds a PhD in law. MIT offered him America. He chose the people. India’s system sent him one message for 34 years. Honesty will cost you everything. He paid it every time. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.
