My prediction for World Cup. Germany vs Argentina Final. Nobody seems to be taking about Die Mannschaft. No pressure, no expectations, they always do well in Americas.
Argentina. Physical, solid defensively, will punish opponents in the heat. #diemannschaft

Noticed that @Uber_India has a “Seniors” section. So few brands design thoughtful features with India’s elderly in mind. More brands need to do this #thoughtfuldesign #designempathy

Whilst at Asian Paints, I was fortunate to see Piyush Pandey’s genius up close. He showed what true leadership looks like — genius, yes, but also humility, courage, and belief in others. He built people as much as he built brands. Om Shanti. #PiyushPandey #Ogilvy

@Nithin0dha a) Recalibrate and be Customer Centric. Not customer experience or customer service, rather rewire the entire company from the customer point of view. Consistently elevate relevant and recognisable value
b) long-term investment Brand building

Question for founders & marketing folks: Can brands still rely on the same tactics and strategies that worked in the past, or do changing times demand new strategies?
Here's the context: Our AUM share is growing (people with more money trust us), but our demat share is shrinking (fewer new accounts).
The people with money are sticking with us, but many others aren't opening accounts with us 😬. Most likely, the newer and younger, and people from tier 2 and 3 towns, are probably investing elsewhere.
The challenge is that once people pick a platform, they rarely switch. And we have constraints that our competitors don't:
We won't advertise.
We won't offer account-opening incentives.
Broking is cyclical by nature
So, how do you grow when you can't play the traditional acquisition game? The obvious answer may be "content," and we have significantly improved on it, but it's hard to measure the impact.
If you were in our shoes, what would you do?

Here’s the thing: Indians are rising.
And that is actually why anti-Indian sentiment is rising. Not because Indians are so weak, but because Indians are once again becoming strong.
CEOs of companies.
Leaders of countries.
Founders and investors.
Doctors, writers, professors.
Not just slumdogs.
Millionaires.
Now, I know what people will say.
Not all Indians are doing well.
More than a billion are still poor!
And of course that’s true, and will be for a while.
But Indians abroad have risen as individuals:
And India is now rising as a country:
Indeed, India is the fastest growing large economy in the world over the last decade:
And I think Indians have a lot of headroom left. Where does it end up? We don’t know, but if even 5% of 1.4B Indian nationals are at the same level as the ~5M strong Indian American diaspora that currently produces ~6% of US tax revenue, that’s ~70M people capable of producing ~72% of current US tax revenue.
So I think it’s at least possible that India returns to its historical level of relative prosperity:
As a plausibility argument, recall that before America was even a twinkle in anyone’s eye, Marco Polo sought out China and Columbus risked his life to trade with India. So those civilizations were giant economic centers for thousands of years.
And are becoming so again.
This perspective demands a different approach. Not the victim mindset where Indians mimic Western wokes in whining piteously upon every slight. But a mature, tit-for-tat morality befitting a rising people where you cooperate with those that cooperate, ignore what is best ignored, and (proportionately) punish only when necessary.
Because even from a purely realpolitik standpoint, constant cancellation doesn’t work. Recall that wokes tried that for the last decade, and all it got them was epic political defeat. They overused the penicillin called anti-racism, and now we have antibiotic-resistant actual racism.
Indians will need different tactics. And that starts with moving from victim mentality to Vedic mentality, if you'll permit the poetic license. Because India isn't just a rising civilization, it's a returning civilization. And wokes are proven losers, but Indians can be winners.

CNN’s @ScottJenningsKY schools former Kamala aide Ashley Etienne for praising Biden lamenting the decline of trust in the media and then hurling disproven lies about Donald Trump: “Has Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Karine Jean-Pierre ever lied?...Your speech is about the truth and one thing about Biden that has always vexed Republicans is that he spends a lot of time talking about him being the center of truth and the restoration of the soul of the nation and yet, he and his people spend a heck of a lot of time undermining that very talking point up to and including this year with the massive cover up of his own condition...I just want to make sure I understand that your position is, is that Donald Trump's words induced the virus to kill people?...He gave you the vaccine...This is crazy. I’m sorry, this is insane.”

@b50 True, most series on appletv are well-executed productions.
“The Crowded Room” is one too.

I am not taking any side here, but catching up with recent happenings within country, came across the news of the change of name of Nehru museum, in Delhi.
This has refreshed a part of my childhood, days spent in Delhi's South Avenue at Teen Murti Marg.

A trivia question:
How many economists have called #RBA pause in this cycle, only to add final 25bps hike, and then another final 25bps hike...and so on.
