@_sameernigam @PhonePe Best wishes, folks. Keep going. People in the know know that much of the Media has no credibility, much less, honour.

Have got numerous inquiries today asking us whether Rahul & I sold $430Mn worth of our shares 'for personal liquidity'. The short answer is - Absolutely Not! In Sept 2025, all employees of @PhonePe , including both of us founders, were allowed by our Board and shareholders to exercise our vested ESOPs. Exercise of ESOPs triggers an immediate tax obligation on employees in India. To meet our respective tax obligations, the Board also permitted us to sell a fixed number of our shares (== the exact amount of each employees/founders' tax obligation!) to GA via a secondary transaction. The entire secondary capital was deposited to the company, which in turn deposited ~6000Cr total TDS to the tax authorities. NONE of us employees or founders got any personal liquidity as a result of this transaction.

Starting 2026 with a BANG! 💥 As they say in our heartland: "Re mittar, eb toh katti dhuuma uthega!" 🌪️ My heart is full today as I announce that the powerhouse of acting, the true son of the soil, @RandeepHooda, has come on board as the Brand Ambassador for @STAGEdotin 🤝🎬 For years, we have been relentlessly working to upgrade the canvas of regional cinema. We dreamt of a time when regional content would stand tall with global dignity. Today, I can proudly say that the Golden Era - the Amrit Kaal of regional cinema is finally here. We built this revolution brick by brick. And now, to add his immense strength to this movement, Randeep has joined our mission. Looking back, 2025 was a year of deep realisations and deeper value delivery. We unlocked new growth levers, but our biggest victory was cracking the highest watch retention in our history. We have a Retention Playbook in place that allows us to command engagement numbers competing with global giants like Netflix. We didn't just build an app; we built a habit. And this milestone isn't ours alone. We’re grateful to artists & creators for trusting us with their art. STAGE team, for their relentless passion that built this retention machine. Grateful to our investors for believing in the power of Bharat & backing a vision that many thought was "too niche". Today, it feels surreal that two icons - @Neeraj_chopra1 and @RandeepHooda - who represent the best of India for the world - chose to back STAGE - different fields, one clear goal: Entertainment for India’s regional cultures. 🎬

@PadmajaJoshi @rahulkanwal @ndtv @YRDeshmukh guys, RJD may have the highest number as per @AxisMyIndia exit poll but the fact is, the strike rate of the the 3 major parties- cong is excluded here- is pretty much the same, if these numbers hold good.

@kbennhold Hi, Referring to your piece in NYT, Mamdani's mother is a Hindu. She never converted to Muslim faith & so he was not 'born to a family of Muslim immigrants' from India.

@NickFerrariLBC fyi, India IS attending the Cop30 with its Minister for Environment leading a delegation. Thank you.

@sunandavashisht And, yes, the gratuitous nobel reco too helped.

@sunandavashisht Hardly 'smart'. Ultimately though, the huge contribution from Pak to the family's crypto fund is what did the trick, I think.

Pakistan has managed a reset in Washington DC and White House. They have managed it with a combination of following smart moves 1) Unabashed flattery 2) Putting natural resources on a platter for America to exploit 3) Offering security guarantees in West Asia which means they have enough impoverished people who can be sent to conflict zones to be used as canon fodder. All this is understood. There is another point that Asim Munir has been successful in drilling into Americans. He has told them they cannot lose India to China because there are very serious limits to India-China cooperation. It can exist only at economic level. For example - India will never buy Chinese weapons, India will not allow free flow of Chinese digital architecture. Once this was made clear to Trump, this relationship instantly improved. Trump has been convinced There can be no strategic alliance between China and India. That is where we are as of today.

@abhijitmajumder @TRobinsonNewEra Asvper Met police, it was 110k people.

London has exploded. 3 million British patriots took to the streets against illegal migration, unhinged Islamisation, and rape gangs preying on UK’s children. Perhaps the biggest backlash against demographic invasion facilitated by politicians. Superb show, @TRobinsonNewEra.

@ndtv @allister_dc #washingtonwatch reg crash into indian restaurant, the couple you spoke to are srilankan & not indian.

@OurTemples @rashtrapatibhvn She has NO power to punish the goons.

@kayarraghavan @rashtrapatibhvn So did she use her powwr to punish the uniformed goons who beat up that poor devotee?! Or did she turn a blind eye with her humble origins?

This is atrocious. Are we slaves in this country?! @rashtrapatibhvn. We don't want you to come to Srirangam. Do you think you will get and blessings whatsoever?! What a shame?! What a shame?! Sri Namperumal will be so unhappy about this man handling. It is a different matter that the police would have brought in sniffer dogs into the temple and fed them inside which is an Agama violation whole human beings are beaten and thrown out. Who wants you Draupati Murmu to come to Srirangam. Shame on you.

@CChristineFair Oh..yes. We know YOU ARE DUBIOUS and that English is not your forte.

I'm dubious. I need to see evidence.

@BeckyQuick hi, you keep saying USA winked & nodded on India buying Russian oil. It is a lot more than that, in reality. See here: x.com/RT_India_news/… cc @JoeSquawk @andrewrsorkin @CNBC @SquawkCNBC

@Suhelseth The #dumbass has no clue that the only thing that is long dead is his brain.

On a scale of 0-10, how much does the lad hate his country? How much?

@priyankac19 Touché. Btw, the only thing long dead seems to be RaGa's brain. cc @INCIndia @BJP4India

Not that one needs to say it there’s enough legitimate data available to know that Indian economy is in the top 5 of the world and one of the fastest growing economies. Calling it a dead economy can only come from a position of arrogance or ignorance. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

@bianca_nobilo Hi, is it so difficult to say 'new clear' rather than 'new killer'? Seriously...

Israel and Iran: The 40-Year Shadow War at a Boiling Point. How Did We Get Here?

@HarryStebbings Prayers & best wishes, Harry.

This week we got some bad news. The lesions on my mother’s brain have increased. In other words, her MS is progressing. Her response: walk a marathon with me and embrace everyday for the gift it is. She taught me that only you set the limits of your achievements and even then, you underestimate yourself. To so many mothers out there, you inspire your children in ways they will remember forever. ❤️

@smerconish @JoeBiden @CNN @cnni @AlexThomp Insiders @CNN & @jaketapper now pretend as though it is all new to them. You are a dishonourable network, Michael.

Tweet me your thoughts on @JoeBiden prior fitness for office and the new book ORIGINAL SIN and I will read some @CNN @cnni when co-author @AlexThomp joins me to discuss nytimes.com/2025/05/13/boo…

@DerekJGrossman How is this bad news for india as though the party represents India? Silly tweet.

Hey @MartineBBC #context do you know that all the four 7/7 bombers come from Muridke (from Pak occupied kashmir), a site attacked by India last night? @BBC
