Go india. Create a wr and win the wc for us again @cricketworldcup @BCCI @IndianCricketTm

@rajivtalreja Agreed. I would have loved to go to both, however the 3-4 hours spent prior and post the concerts in traffic and entry/exit makes it unviable to be a repeat customer. Those who can afford it, end up traveling to other cities built to manage large scale events

We have 2 Bengaluru's & both are lovely... Experienced 2 concerts in the last 8 days in Namma Bengaluru... Diljit Dosanj's Diluminati and Bryan Adams' So Happy It Hurts... The Diljit concert was magnanimous, the Bryan Adams concert was musical... The Diljit concert had the young Bengaluru, people from all over the country who've made Bengaluru home... The Bryan Adams concert had the vintage born & raised here and even been here for generations Bengalureans... Had friends from other parts of India with us who were amazed at the calmness of the people of Bengaluru... People walking in and out of the concert without being a mob... Cars waiting in line without honking or cutting lanes with patience for the traffic to move in and out... One thing that stands out about the People of Bengaluru is Decency... Our city has manners...

@architgupta Absolutely. The last decade has clearly shown why one should join a startup for accelerated learning and earnings!

🇮🇳 startups providing ESOPs liquidity is the story I want to talk about all day long. Yesterday was perfios (what a great story!) Many more to come.

An intriguing future awaits us🤖

@madnavin @IshiraBhattach Kanha ?

Met some furry friends last week in the central Indian jungles. Chasing the alarm calls (when the mobile ones fail!) & the long waits for a glimpse of these majestic beasts are always totally worth it! Photo credits (mostly) go to my lovely travel companion @IshiraBhattach

@upadhyay_harsh1 Can you share the early stage qoq view for the last 2y? Curious to see the impact on early stage volume and value of deals in current funding slowdown

Q1 saw 82 seed funding whereas 23 deals were in pre seed stage. This was followed by Series A, pre Series A where 49 and 24 startups got funded. In growth stage deals, pre-Series B, Series B and Series C saw 5, 9 and 9 deals respectively.

Startup Funding Report [Q1 2023] Data compiled by Fintrackr shows that nearly 260 startups raked in $3.4 billion in March quarter (🧵)

Pretty awesome.. now customize your own LLM and not rely on proprietary chatGPT

India is getting an eye-wateringly big transport upgrade. The country is experiencing an infrastructural makeover on a scale unprecedented outside China. Spend on transport infrastructure @ 1.7% of GDP ~~ twice the level in America and most European countries @nitin_gadkari @AshwiniVaishnaw economist.com/asia/2023/03/1…

If only we look out the window instead of snoozing. Western ghats. Not sure which mountain range

Bangalore traffic woes now on the airstrip too. 40 mins and still 4th in line. When is the new terminal opening up? #Bangalore #bangaloretraffic

The walk ends with a lovely breakfast at the original MTR. You are whisked in with no waiting!

The bark of the cinchona which gives quinone, is a cure for malaria, was discovered by a British solider. He also discovered that malaria, which plagued 15% of the population, was carried by the female anophele mosquito. We now enjoy quinone in our g and tonic

Vijay Thiruvady has an exquisite way to weave in history, geology and botany as part of his Lalbagh walking tour. bangalorewalks.com/html/musings.h… We did his walking tour as part of a team outing, highly recommended. Here are just a few tidbits
