India is smashing it: 42.5GW of new solar in 2026 ALONE. Think about that scale - it’s more than the entire installed capacity of most developed nations At this exponential rate, solar capacity is on track to CRUSH coal in India by 2028 THREAD

This one is a direct @JaipurLitFest connection - 'The Sneaky Artist' aka Nishant Jain on the Say Again pod, talking about how we all need to look up, pay attention and be present. Ideally with a sketchbook he says. This clip is him sharing #gratitude @SanjoyRoyTWA @NamitaGokhale_ 💜

How many important historical buildings in the UK have a bust of their architect in situ? While nobody denies that Edwin Lutyens designed governmental Delhi not sure why we need to celebrate him with a bust in Rashtrapati Bhavan. We can acknowledge the man without glorifying him

Never fly @airindia if you have a time sensitive task or meeting fixed. Daily delays, no prior information, unprofessional staff … the list goes on. Two flights I was on delayed in the same day, had to change aircraft 1 hour after boarding, return flight also delayed. Short day trip has turned into a 18 hour nightmare.

Ah - the fallacy of the inapt analogy. GDP is a flow variable. Market Cap is a stock variable. GDP is national income. Market cap is the aggregate value of all the shares of a company. You don’t compare a stock variable to a flow variable - apples and oranges. It’s a bit like someone saying “My house is worth more than your annual salary so I am better off than you”. If you want to compare Google to India then compare Googles revenue to India’s national income. Googles revenue is USD 400 bill. Its market cap is roughly 10x of that which is approx. USD 4 trillion. If countries could be listed and have a market cap then applying the same multiple India’s market cap would be USD 40 trillion around 10x of it’s GDP

So much b.s in this. So much. I have never seen an event of the scale in my life other than kumbh. Very big conferences in us like new neurips is still 1/10th of this.. Everything is actually allowed inside and there is absolutely no problem. 5 to 6 places I have eaten all of them actually only ask for UPI. The total time it took me to get in was less than 30 minutes on both the dates. All the talks I attended started and ended on time ...all the panels started and ended on time.

the impact ai summit in delhi was a perfect demonstration of why india keeps losing in tech and i’m tired of pretending it wasn’t a disaster. let me paint the actual picture: > cash-only payments at a “digital india” upi ?? > pm visit → main hall cleared for hours, everyone else just stood around doing nothing > exhibitors locked out of their own stalls > 3-hour queue just to enter > a founder’s product got stolen during the summit > no wifi at an ai event. > can’t take your keys if you came via car/bike > no laptop/camera at tech event > people were asked to sit on the ground > speaker lineup with consultants/bureaucrats who’ve never shipped a real product > the registration system crashed multiple times. people who registered weeks in advance couldn’t get in. vips walked past massive queues while founders and builders stood outside in the heat. 🤡 and 27 countries witnessed all of this live networking areas? no space to stand. many demos didn’t work because there was no stable internet. 5g?? this is what happens when optics matter more than execution. when innovation becomes photo-op the sad part is india has insane talent. founders building world class products. engineers and researchers doing real work. leave India for a sec, im at network school and the youngest crowd is all Indians. but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with performative nonsense. the west isn’t winning because they’re smarter. they’re winning because they care about details. because they respect builders. because their tech summits actually work. same story when @sama came to india last time. boomer uncles asked the dumbest questions. and when he said it’s hard for india to build foundational models, we took it on our ego. rn, every founder who attended left embarrassed. imagine international delegate left with stories about our “infrastructure.” many friends and young builder lost a little more faith. this wasn’t just bad planning. it was a signal of what we value. and clearly, it’s security theater and photo-ops over builders. we can do better. we have the talent. we have the market. we have the potential. what we don’t have is execution and respect for the people building the future. maybe one day we will do better. till then if you’re a founder, ignore the noise. keep building.

Just went for a long walk across the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026. Vibes are fantastic. Sessions packed. Expos buzzing. From use-case demonstrations & workshops to hyper scale build-outs; today, this is a real AI festival.

I attended day 2 and it was fine. The sessions could’ve been better planned as in the content of some but it caters to everyone from Govts, large corps, startups & general public. The venue is large, well designed and has more than enough capacity to accommodate all those who attended. Yes there was some traffic outside the venue but not more than a lit fest or rock concert. I would pick on the design of the sessions most of which were too policy oriented & helmed by those with little link of AI developments at the moments. #AIImpactSummit

I spent 5 hours there and all the theories floating were wrong: - Drinking water is available in every hall, free of cost - All food stalls accepting UPI - Crowd is managed well, no stampede kind of situation. Of course if event is free, you'd many turn up. #IndiaAISummit2026

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness. I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so. Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented. At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet. So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI. I am happy but also sad and confused. If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

The book by @amritat explores love, loss, sibling bonds, and the quiet strength of women navigating life’s emotional landscapes. A moving read that lingers long after the last page- perfect for readers who appreciate stories rooted in emotion, empathy, and resilience.
