Excited to see @TheKenWeb start an @AcquiredFM like Business podcast focusing on Indian companies.
The first one - a two-part series on Asian Paints is out.

TIL: Dot & Key is owned by Nykaa.
Dot & Key products are quite good!

Nykaa has pulled off the best brand acquisition in India in recent years: In 2021, it spent ~₹97 crore (₹47 crore to buy secondary shares and ₹50 crore of fresh growth capital) to acquire 51% of Kolkata based Dot & Key Since acquisition: (a) Revenue is up 18x from ₹27 crore (FY 21) to ₹427 crore (FY25) (b) Profit is up 30x from ₹1.8 crore (FY 21) to ₹56 crore (FY25) (c) Dot & Key accounts for 60% of Nykaa’s private label BPC sales Here is the story of this bootstrapped skincare brand became the crown jewel inside House of Nykaa ⤵️

The invisible force that enables AI to be built and served at scale is Data Centers.
They are characterized by
• Storage
• Compute and
• Connectivity for Communication.
But what's the history behind it? What goes behind building one?
If you are curious about this, Stepchange podcast has a 4 hour long-form deep dive on Data Centers. Brilliantly done. Highly recommended

@ryancarson @DevinAI What is Devin doing well that CC and Codex don't have yet?
English
Paid $500 for @DevinAI - liking it so far.
You can tell this team is much further than other agent labs when it comes to being truly remote-first.
Very mature, advanced tooling and it just works across all surfaces (iPhone, Slack, Browser, GitHub, Linear).
I was tired of trying to hand-connect everything with a custom setup of Open Inspect + Codex + Linear.
When you look at your hourly effective rate, it stops making sense trying to hand-build all this stuff.
Nvm the all the maintenance hours you need to put in.
I'll keep using Devin 100% for the next week and report back.
So far, my PR shipping velocity is higher than before - so that's good obv.

Since alliances seem to be making and breaking, I have an important announcement to make…
After long backroom talks and zero consensus,
I’ve officially broken a long time alliance …. with carbs !🍚💔
After 15 months of tough negotiations,
35 kilos left my coalition !!
No seat sharing…
No compromise…
Launched key welfare schemes:
🥗 Calorie Deficit Subsidy (fully utilized 😌)
🏃♀️ Daily Workout Scheme (attendance compulsory)
🚫 Junk Food Prohibition Act (strictly enforced 🚨)
Strong implementation!
Zero corruption 😄
And in the end…
I WON WITH CLEAR MAJORITY
🏆🔥 👗💪 🏆🔥
105 ➝ 70 kgs !!
Presenting Dr Sharmila 2.0 — upgraded version
Secret of success ?!
Democracy of discipline 😄💪

I am seeing this beginning to happen in Healthcare too.
It is going to take far lot lesser time to learn and work with AI to build than to work with an outsourced team where you have to keep repeating stuff.
every. single. meeting!

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it. He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time. His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages. His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything. My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder. I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

Today, Ozempic, Mounjaro & other GLP-1 meds just got cheaper in India.
So the big question:
Should YOU start using them for weight loss or diabetes?
Here’s a clear, evidence-based breakdown thread for you.
(Consult your doctor, I am just a messenger)
English
Very important PSA , given that we now have generics in India for GLP-1.
Go meet a doctor first!
Chirag Barjatya@chiragbarjatya
Asking someone NOT to take GLP-1 ozempic type of drugs is a medical advice as well. No fitness coach, health wellness entrepreneur without a doctor degree is allowed to decide whether you need a medicine or not. Don't let your local gym trainer or coach decide this.

This week, I encoded Edward Tufte's data visualization principles into an API. Then I let an AI agent try to pass it.
I gave @ManusAI a CSV of women's bachelor's degree percentages across STEM fields (1970-2011) and one prompt: visualize this data.
It produced a standard chart. Correct data, readable axes, nothing wrong. But a legend box instead of direct labels. No annotations calling out the rise and fall of women in Computer Science. Default colors. This is what every AI agent produces right now.
So I pointed it at the Tufte Test, a quality standard I built in Truesight that checks charts against seven of Tufte's core principles. The API came back: fail on direct labeling and integrated annotations. Five other criteria passed.
A quality standard gives an agent something a vague prompt never can: a precise list of exactly what to fix.
Manus revised on its own. Legend box became direct endpoint labels. A subtitle surfaced the key insight. An annotation marked the Computer Science peak at 37.1% in 1983. Two prompts total from me. Everything else was autonomous.
Any AI agent that can call an API could do this. What matters is the pattern: encode expert judgment once, deploy it as an API, and every AI agent in your stack builds against it. Your taste becomes infrastructure at scale instead of manual review.
The Tufte Test is available as a template in Truesight if you want to try it on your own charts.

@JayaGup10 Enterprise Orgs have just discovered Cursor!
Been over two since we moved stock, lock and barrel to either Codex app or Claude Code.
English
I can’t remember the last time I met a single person that used Cursor

We are in very early days of how coding agents in UI would look like.
TUI is good -but terminal isn't approachable to a lot of people. Even very good developers that I know dont want to entirely work off terminal.
Codex app and Claude/Cowork app are very good first iteration.
We will soon see something more complex and yet useful - probably a Slack-like interface.
Channels for different projects. Ability to tag different channels. Individual agents or ppl within the channel. Threaded conversation. Hooks. Files. Everything in one place.
