And the same V cries why their manufacturing efforts are not visible. V should look in to the mirror and talk to themselves. Hypocrisy at its best. Oh! And they say calling out and showing mirror is Hate!

V founder posts and promotes Chinese products. A founder calls out, as we build competitive products in India and asks V to start building your products to support eco-system. V falsely claims that A’s products are not open source and not popular.

While #Bengaluru's trees cover was reducing, @saytrees_ind was slowly and steadily planting saplings across many parts of the city. 700,000+ saplings have been planted in last 19 years by SayTrees in #Bengaluru. This year, Saytrees is joining hands with Bangalore Development Authority in their initiative to plant 1.5 million trees in #Bengaluru. Inviting corporates to Join hands under their #CSR initiative and bring back the lost greenery. Mail to : info@saytrees.org

Most people hear “advanced chips” and think AI processors. But the global economy runs on older “mature-node” chips — the kind used in cars, telecom gear, power systems, radars, appliances and factory equipment. That is exactly where 28nm sits.

DINK’s are doing it wrong. Andhra Pradesh is now doing it wrong. Hope other states don’t follow. The incentive should be in the form of tax benefits - like Indonesia does it. This will encourage our best earning population to have more children.

Late Shri Manohar Parrikar Ji once narrated his ordeal. "I'm from Parra, a village in Goa, so we're called 'Parrikars.' My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers there held a 'Watermelon Eating Contest' in May, after the harvest. All the children were invited and asked to eat as many watermelons as they wanted. Many years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. Then I returned to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market to look for watermelons. But they were gone. The ones I found were very small. I went to meet the farmer who used to hold the 'Watermelon Eating Contest.' Now his son had taken his place. He still held the contest, but there was a difference. When the old farmer offered us watermelons to eat, he would ask us to spit the seeds into a bowl. We were forbidden to chew the seeds. He was collecting seeds for the next crop. We were, in effect, unpaid child laborers. He would keep his best watermelons for the competition, using them as the best. He obtained good seeds, which produced even bigger watermelons the next year. When his son arrived, he thought the larger ones would fetch a higher price in the market, so he started selling the larger ones and keeping the smaller ones for competition. The next year, the watermelons grew smaller, and the next even smaller. A watermelon generation lasts one year. In seven years, Parra's best watermelons were wiped out. In humans, a generation changes every 25 years. In 200 years, we will realize the mistakes we were making in educating our children. Selecting good seeds, that is, talent, is a huge task in itself. Due to irrelevant ideas and useless things, our good watermelons will go to market, leaving us with useless, inferior seeds. We must think about this in today's context.

@karthikRanga92 And, we are back to Bangalore!

Bro I am not even kidding! We are in Hyderabad and it was so damn hot and said to be +40°C. Guess what? It's raining!

We demo'ed this drone everywhere we possibly could in the last one month. Delhi(couldn't fly), Bangalore(we flew it indoors, video in the comments) and then in Hyderabad. One amazing feedback or comment we got was, "This drone feels like DJI. Rock solid stability, responsive and well tuned". This is what we strive for! How many of you are interested in getting a drone platform like this? A complete drone kit(excluding radio controller and any payloads). Comment below. We may plan to put it up on the website.

Hyderabad trip has come to an end! It was amazing! Lot of lessons learnt. There are really good companies working on cool stuff who also liked our products. Now back to the cave building what the users want. A lot of cool stuff is in development. Hope to share some more soon!

Your like can get us a monitor. Yes. This is our entry for @isawsukul’s contest where the most liked wallpaper wins an Obsidian monitor. Sharing our submission on mobile and Mac. If you like it, drop a like.

The drone is so easy to fly. Completely stable even without GPS/GNSS. Thanks to Agam FloRange Sensor which has Optical Flow sensor and TOF sensor integrated which makes drones easy to fly.

Fly stable, fly safe with @AgamRobotics drone flight controllers. Laksh got an opportunity to try out their innovative build frame.

Bangalore Drone Expo was so overwhelming that I still haven't come out of it! The crowd, questions, conversations, discussions, sales, myths and breaking those(like are we really making it in India? Yes, that was the question!), enquires, etc was wild. As few visitors resonated, we felt there were many companies selling Chinese parts and drones and few did indigenous. Surprisingly there were few stalls put up by Chinese companies themselves. Not sure how that was even allowed. Nevertheless we got a good amount of visibility, many didn't know us and got to know what we do. Had a few of my followers from here visiting our stalls as well and was happy when they said they were inspired by what we do. Excited about what comes next! Oh wait, components shortages! That's what is coming next! We have a lot of work to do. Bye.

@AgamRobotics If you missed seeing our demo at Drone Expo, do visit our office and see the exclusive demo. Connect to us on our website agamrobotics.com and schedule a visit to our office. x.com/KapilAare/stat…

If you missed us in Delhi, you have another chance to visit our stall in Bangalore next week at BIEC on 17th and 18th!

Wonderful 2 days at Bangalore Drone Expo2026! Thanks to all the visitors, all our team members and staff of @DroneExpo_com for a successful expo. #AgamAutopilot #AgamFloRange. #AgamFrame #NoGNSS #Indian #IDDM Drone flying in an impressive stable condition.

80% of the components in this Drone are indigenously designed, developed and manufactured in India! @AgamRobotics Battery, Motors, Propellors - Hope to see updates in next few months.

For most parents, digital devices have become a pacifier😬, it's a way to keep em quiet, and it's understandable, but ends up creating a dependency in the long run. At Kiaan's(son's) school, no digital device is allowed and at home, we restrict screen time to 30 mins a day. But even then, it is crazy the addiction to reels/clips, I normally catch him browsing through that.

@karthikRanga92 @khushiyant Thanks for visiting us at our stall!

@khushiyant Yes we will be!

The beauty part of the expo isn't about its marketing or sales or even PR. It's the meeting of your existing clients, friends you made on the internet(especially here on Twitter), and followers who say they have been following the journey and keep cheering you on. I met @PritnRandom from NaxatraLabs but forgot to take pictures because when we meet like minded people, we are excited to delve into the tech and are not really excited about clicking pictures. We also met 2 of our clients and also made sales. These are the other perks.

Visit us at stall no 134! See for yourself all the products and the quality with which we manufacture. There are more surprises at the stall. 😉

Popular induction cooktop models are flying off shelves and out of stock within hours with online platforms reporting unprecedented order spikes. Had a really interesting conversation with a friend in white goods industry recently about what it would actually take for Indian firms to build genuine domestic manufacturing capability in this space. Turns out it's far more complex than it looks. Apparently an induction cooktop has 4critical components. The first is the transistor (specifically an IGB). The power semiconductor that generates the electromagnetic field that heats the vessel. This is the core of the device and India makes essentially none of them. The good ones come from Infineon in Germany or Japanese suppliers. Second is the PCB. The printed circuit board that controls power, temperature, and safety. Almost entirely imported, with China dominating supply. Third is microcrystalline glass, that heat-resistant ceramic surface cookware sits on. Also largely imported, no meaningful domestic production. The one bright spot? The copper induction coil which is the actual heating element. Indian manufacturers do have some local capability. One out of four isn't nothing, but it isn't manufacturing independence either. So what would scaling up actually require? Transistors mean semiconductor fabrication which is exactly what India is pursuing through the Semiconductor Mission, but that's a 5-7 year horizon at best. Microcrystalline glass needs specialised float glass technology that simply doesn't exist in India today. PCBs at scale need a deep electronics component ecosystem that PLI schemes. Lot of energy in the sector. Directionally we are doing well. The West Asia crisis has created the strongest demand signal India's induction cooktop industry has ever seen and the domestic supply chain to capitalise on it just isn't there yet. Short term, India will import its way through this. The medium-term question is whether this demand shock adds urgency to what the government is already pushing hard on. Moments like this make you appreciate just how relentless and long-haul the work of building domestic industrial capability really is. And kudos to Modi govt for trying things here.
