Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition. GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before. Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country. The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything. The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot. Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart. GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution. Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time. For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day. GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission. Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru. Take a bow!

This is Shiba-san, the legendary Shiba Inu who "worked" at Suzuki Tobacco Shop in Tokyo. He'd slide open the window to greet customers, accept pets, and even show off cucumbers. Drew visitors worldwide until retiring in 2015. What a dedicated good boy. ❤️

When I was in Noida I met a taxi driver/owner , he told me his son is CA intermediate, and is studying.. His younger daughter is doing MBA ...! ...📌.. Now Salim Merchant has shared a beautiful ❤️ story Abt general family of a cab driver who is driving vehicle more 40 yrs🔆 Listne this story it's really impressive and inspirational too !!! 💯 When you feel low watch this !

For all those wondering where we use Trigonometry in real life, watch this. Also, wish such content creators would get the prominence they deserve.

People always wonder who after Ramanujan? Modern India is a powerhouse of mathematics, but because these minds work in the abstract upper atmosphere of logic, they do not always make the evening news. In the world of Algebraic Geometry, there was a haunted problem called the Zariski Cancellation Problem, posed in 1949. For 65 yrs, the world’s best minds failed to solve it. In 2014, Neena Gupta (from ISI Kolkata) provided a Negative Answer that stunned the global community. She proved that we can have 2 different geometric objects that look identical if we add a dimension to them...effectively proving that adding information can actually hide the true identity of an object. At just 35, she became the youngest recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize & won the Ramanujan Prize in 2021. Her breakthrough continues to be celebrated globally.

I've stopped reading Gulf war headlines. Here's what I track instead. We run an India-focused equity fund. 85% of India's crude comes from imports. Half of that normally passes through Hormuz. So yes — this crisis is personal. But the information environment right now is garbage. Trump says the war ends tomorrow. Iran says Hormuz is shut forever. One analyst says $150 oil, another says $60. You can't build a portfolio view on this. So I've narrowed it down to 4 signals. These are priced by people with real money on the line. They don't lie. 1. Ship insurance premiums through Hormuz This is the single best signal. Lloyd's underwriters have billions at stake on every pricing call. Before the war, insuring a tanker through Hormuz cost 0.25% of the ship's value. Today it's 3.5–10% — and almost nobody is buying. A $100M tanker that cost $250K to insure now costs up to $10M. When this drops below 2%, the people with the most to lose are telling you it's getting safer. No press conference can replicate that. 2. How many ships are actually crossing Every ship carries a GPS tracker (AIS). You can count exactly how many cross Hormuz each day. Before: 100+. Now: 8. That's a 92% collapse. You can't spin a ship being somewhere it isn't. Iran is letting some Chinese and Indian ships through, but it's a trickle. When this number crosses 30–40, trade is resuming. You can track this free on the WTO Hormuz Trade Tracker. 3. Paper oil vs real oil This one most people miss entirely. Brent crude (the headline price) is at $112. But Dubai physical — what Asian buyers actually pay for delivered oil — is at $126. That's a $14 gap. It exists because Trump's comments keep pushing paper prices down. Traders call it jawboning. But the refiners buying cargo aren't getting any discount. If you're looking at Brent to assess India's oil bill, you're looking at the wrong number. 4. The mid-April cliff Multiple emergency measures expire around the same time. The 400 million barrel SPR release runs dry ~April 15. The US waiver letting India buy Russian crude expires. Formosa Plastics has declared force majeure from April 1. Right now these stopgaps are keeping the supply gap at ~5 mb/d. Without them, BCA Research estimates it doubles to 10 mb/d — the largest crude disruption ever. If Hormuz doesn't reopen by mid-April, we're in uncharted territory. Bottom line: track the insurance premium, the ship count, the paper-physical spread, and the April timeline. Everything else is noise.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

One day, 𝑒ˣ sees 𝑥² running down the street in a panic. “What’s wrong?” asks 𝑒ˣ. “There’s a Differential Operator in town!” yells 𝑥². “If I run into him too many times, I’ll disappear!” “Don’t worry,” responds 𝑒ˣ. “I’ll go have a chat with him. No, don’t worry about me — he can’t hurt me. After all, I’m 𝑒ˣ.” So 𝑒ˣ walks down the street to the Differential Operator. “My friend tells me you’re a Differential Operator,” 𝑒ˣ says pompously. “Well, I’m 𝑒ˣ.” “Pleased to meet you, 𝑒ˣ,” says the Differential Operator. “I’m 𝑑/𝑑𝑡.”

Watch this carefully. Then ask yourself one honest question: What excuse do I really have?

This is the best news ever. Ab no more blaming rice for diabetes

@InvestWithAkhil hello

Deleting in 24 hrs, whoever Iikes and says “hello” we’ll send you a surprise dm! 🪄

@akoratana @JayaGup10 Is the event recorded. Would love to access it

Everyone is building a context graph but nobody knows what they are. Chances are if you’re trying to build one you should be at this Going to do a context graph launch event next week in SF. DM me or @JayaGup10 if you’re interested

So who discovered the Fibonacci sequence? Fibonacci? No, afraid not (no disrespect Leonardo Bonacci, aka Fibonacci). Another scientist? Nope. Who then? Here's @MarcusduSautoy (it wasn't him either in case you're wondering).
