I worked out way more between 2020-2022 (and even the 10 years before that) compared to what I did between 2022 and 2024. So, what really changed to make such a difference in just the last 2 years? Here’s what I’ve learned, simplified for you: /thread

In today’s creator economy, audiences are constantly told to question brands — which is fair. The creator ecosystem works best when opinions are independent, criticism is honest, and commercial conversations stay separate from editorial narratives. Sometimes that line isn’t always respected. Not favouring anyone here, but as the head of my previous brand, I saw multiple instances where a few creators suddenly became “consumer warriors” on launch day right after paid collaborations didn’t materialize (remember the dead motherboard videos on launch day?). But as a brand head I didn't react and took criticism, whether genuine or not, on my chin. As over long period of time consumers see genuine efforts. At the same time, many creators remained extremely professional irrespective of business discussions — people like Arun Prabhudesai, TechBar, GeekyRanjit and several others who understood the difference between criticism and coercion. Honest criticism helps brands improve. Arm-twisting disguised as objectivity hurts the credibility of the entire ecosystem. Sometimes I see 'a few' creators suddenly take the moral high ground on “ethics” and “consumer interest” when they themselves have spent years blurring the line between honest opinion and commercial leverage. Audiences are smarter than the ecosystem assumes. They eventually see consistency — or the lack of it. FYI, just sharing a perspective, not favouring or speaking against anyone.

OK, I did not expect this. Really Disappointed. Also, I don't think tech community asked (atleast thats what I think) for clarification or a platform for explanation. In my view blanket legal notices/cases on creators is wrong in every way. There is no justification to this.

On behalf of My Tech Community, humne ek big approach liya aur AI+ ke Madhav Sheth se roktok sawaal kiye hai. Maine woh tough sawaal pooche hai jo tech community sach mein puchna chahti hai. Yeh sirf teaser hai — full podcast kal raat 8 PM Techno Ruhez channel par aayega. Aur haan, mujhe pata hai kuch log bolenge “paid podcast hoga” ya bina poora dekhe negative comments karenge. Isliye bas ek request hai — pehle full podcast dekho, phir jo genuine opinion ho woh dena.

Yeah, Pune has everything… except a proper international airport 🙂 But still better than Bangalore where it takes 2 hours just to reach the airport from the city…. Thanks to Missing Link, Navi Mumbai airport is now under 90 mins from Pune.

I’ve mostly been uploading my vlogs on Instagram till now, but since @nikitabier mentioned that the platform is pushing more original videos these days, thought of giving it a try here as well. Let’s see how the response goes

Finally experienced the Missing Link/ Connecting Link on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. • Crossing the entire ghat section now takes just 8-10 minutes. Unreal considering it used to take hours sometimes. • The tunnel is massive, 4 lanes + service lanes inside. • The bridge section is genuinely an infrastructure marvel. • Found a hidden spot in Lonavala from where we could see the entire Missing Link from far away. Beautiful view. As someone who regularly travels between Pune and Mumbai, this is going to make a huge difference. Now just waiting for Navi Mumbai Airport international flights to start.

As someone who has spent years in tech content, this issue genuinely matters to me. What’s happening with @TechWiser and @ShokeenSanchit, fellow creators who’ve been doing great work for years, is honestly concerning. Creators should always be responsible and factual. But honest criticism, questioning claims, and expressing concerns in good faith should never become something creators are scared of doing. If brands start silencing creators with legal notices instead of addressing concerns, we’re all losing something important. Hope this resolves soon. Standing with TechWiser & TechBar on this.
TrakinTech@TrakinTech

Stay strong @techwiser and Techbar (@ShokeenSanchit). Hope honest tech journalism and fair criticism continue to exist in India.

As someone who’s constantly travelling between Pune and Mumbai, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been stuck in the Lonavala ghat for hours. So for me, the Missing Link isn’t just “30 mins saved.” It’s those random 1–2 hours stuck behind trucks that finally go away. Glad heavy vehicles won’t be allowed initially. Less stress, safer drives, especially during monsoons. Also, driving through the cable bridge in the rains on a fresh route… that’s something I’m actually looking forward to. Can’t wait to experience this.

I’ve seen Apple under Steve Jobs, Apple under Tim Cook, and now I’ll be witnessing Apple under John Ternus’s leadership. Steve Jobs gave the world the iPhone and MacBooks, but Tim Cook broadened the category with AirPods, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, and more. Tim Cook didn’t create the iPhone, but he built Apple into a $4T machine. Pure execution, scale, and consistency. John's a hardware engineer, and I’m hoping he brings back the bold innovation of the Jobs era and blends it with the business scale and execution that Tim Cook built. What are your expectations from him?

Motorola has shared a clarification regarding the legal action taken against several creators, including our @TrakinTech Marathi channel. As a creator, I believe social media thrives on the right to share honest, factual experiences. Criticism is a core part of this ecosystem and shouldn’t be treated as an immediate threat. At the same time, misinformation, especially around safety issues like devices catching fire, is serious and can create unnecessary panic. Good to see Motorola acknowledge that some creators were impacted inadvertently and issue an apology. Going forward, brands need to be more careful and precise with such actions so that genuine feedback doesn’t get caught in the crossfire. Transparency and accountability go both ways. You can read Motorola’s official statement below 👇

It feels almost impossible to rebuild once you get into controversies, but Samay Raina handled it really well through his Still Alive show. Made me realise how fragile everything is. One moment things are going great, and the next your entire image is under question. And the hardest part? There’s no perfect move. You stay silent, people assume the worst. You speak, people question your intent. Rebuilding trust takes time, consistency, and the courage to keep showing up. Not easy. But definitely possible.

Windows for 20 years. Mac for 5 years. Mac is better in almost every way. But I still don’t understand this: Why is there no actual Delete key? (ok..delete key is present, but not the same functionality, no forward delete) Am I the only one annoyed by this?
