@avidandiya Because here its not business or finance they can practice, but corruption.

Attended graduation ceremony in Boston. Almost 40% of graduating students who did masters in business and finance were from India. Had a chat with a few. None wished to go back to India.

While the world was busy watching other geopolitical fires burn, PM Modi quietly made five of the most important stops on the planet in five days.
UAE. Netherlands. Sweden. Norway. Italy.
Read that list again slowly. Because each one of those countries holds a key to something India desperately needs right now and cannot afford to get wrong.
Here is the context most people are missing.
Hormuz just got choked. Energy routes that the world treated like guaranteed infrastructure for decades suddenly looked fragile. Supply chains that took forty years to build started wobbling in weeks. Every government that was paying attention started asking the same uncomfortable questions at the same time. Where does our energy actually come from. Who really controls our access to technology. And which trade corridors are still going to exist in five years.
PM Modi clearly got the memo before most.
The UAE is the first stop and energy is the entire reason. The Gulf has been disrupted. Hormuz is under pressure. And the UAE just made a decision that changes everything about how it operates. It stepped outside the OPEC framework. It can now pump freely without anyone's permission. And it has a pipeline that moves oil completely around the Strait. For India that is not just useful. That is survival infrastructure. This meeting is about securing that relationship before the rest of the world wakes up and starts competing for the same thing.
Then comes the stop that will look most important in hindsight.
The Netherlands. Specifically a small city in the south of the country that most people have never heard of. The semiconductor war between America and China is not slowing down. It is accelerating. And India knows that if it is not inside that ecosystem now, it will be buying chips on someone else's terms for the next thirty years. The conversations happening there are not about trade statistics. They are about whether India gets to be part of the supply chain that decides who wins the technology race of this decade.
Sweden is quieter but the signal is loud.
When three leaders stand together in front of Europe's top industrial decision makers, that is not a photo opportunity. That is India saying directly to European capital, you have been talking about reducing China dependency for years and we are the answer you have been looking for. Sweden's industrial companies represent exactly the manufacturing sophistication India needs as it tries to move beyond being a cheap labour destination and become a genuine industrial power.
Most people will skip over Norway entirely. That would be a mistake.
No Indian Prime Minister has made this trip in 43 years. Norway runs the largest sovereign wealth fund on earth. It is patient, long-term, and looking for exactly the kind of growth story India represents. The numbers being discussed are not small. And beyond the capital, Arctic shipping routes and green energy corridors open up a completely different geography for Indian trade. The quiet stops are usually the most deliberate ones.
Italy lands the plane on something much bigger than it appears.
The corridor connecting India to Europe through the Middle East needs a European endpoint and Italy is it. When that corridor is fully operational, Indian goods reach European consumers faster and cheaper than they ever have before. Without passing through the chokepoints that everyone just watched become weapons. Add the India-EU free trade negotiations running in parallel and you are looking at a structural shift in how India plugs into the global economy.
Here is the honest truth about what this week actually means.
The world is being reorganised right now. Not gradually over decades the way it usually happens. Rapidly. In months. And the positions countries lock in during this window will determine where they sit in whatever order emerges on the other side.
India is not sitting still waiting to see how things shake out.
Five countries. Five days. Energy security, chip access, European industrial integration, sovereign capital, and a trade corridor that rewires the map.
PM Modi is not touring the world.
He is building a different India for what comes next.

@DesiEsco7 So many announced things haven’t seen light. What about Lithium in JK? Gold?

India is preparing one of its biggest offshore oil and gas exploration missions in the Bay of Bengal to reduce dependence on energy imports. Over the next two years, large seismic surveys will scan the key east coast and Andaman basins for hidden hydrocarbon reserves.

Good move for Southern states. One way to increase the falling fertility rate.
Don't know if the cash incentive is the correct way or not.

India’s compliance, China’s defiance: As New Delhi petitions Washington to renew the sanctions waiver expiring today so it can keep importing Russian oil, Trump says he is considering lifting U.S. sanctions on Chinese refiners buying Iranian crude. China defies American sanctions and gets accommodation; India complies and still needs permission.

@Shirink_13 @RidofRad Hindus don’t hate Muslims. It’s the other way round. Your religion teaches you to hate non- Muslims and use violence!

@himantabiswa Any industrialist from India could have made this collaboration with western tech

This is a huge strategic win for India’s semiconductor ecosystem. ASML is a global leader in lithographic solutions. And lithography is a foundational as well as one of the most precision driven processes in chipmaking which includes printing the circuit on the wafer.
Once India is able to ramp up to this critical tech, we will be closer to becoming a key player in the global chip industry.

Dad bought this AC in 2010
O'General imported from the Middle East. 16 years and not a single problem to date... It's installed in my hometown in AP where temperatures are really high 🥵
In the last 8 years, after I started earning - I purchased 3 ACs for our home in Pune. 2 have severe problems ... VOLTAS gone in 2nd year, no service, pathetic experience, lost 14K for gas, PCB charges and Finally left it to trash. Then Daikin in 2024 - which working fine to date, Last year bought our 2nd Daikin AC - which is giving problems already, last week PCB gone and replaced, today again gone.
Is it low quality of products over time ? Is it better quality when imported ? Is it location ? Is it manufactrer ?
I am not sure, and once AC stops working service is damn expensive.
P.S. we have bluestar (8-9 years old at hometown which is working fine and Lloyd 1 year old which is fine)
