Comparison of India's and China's GDP years after their liberalization. India reached 32 years in 2022 and China did in 2007.

This photo was a watershed moment for GalaxEye. They had been struggling for two years to capture a coherent SAR image. Then, on May 4th, 2023, they snapped this from a moving drone. Now they've put the first-ever OptoSAR satellite in orbit. Made in India 🇮🇳 for the world!

Five years ago, the team at @GalaxEye were students at IIT Madras, chasing what many would have called an “outrageously ambitious” dream. Yesterday, they launched Mission Drishti, the world’s first OptoSAR satellite. There’s a simple but powerful lesson here: leapfrogging the world begins with a leap of faith. By combining optical and radar imaging into a single platform, they didn’t just improve on what existed, they reimagined what was possible. They’re showing us that the way to take a place on the global stage, is not by catching up, but by changing the game. They’re my #MondayMotivation

Two goated companies in @LightspeedIndia portfolio joining hands to do the most goated thing ever: send GPUs into space! Good luck spacefaring compute cowboys, the world is rooting for you! @PixxelSpace / @SarvamAI

I visited OLA's Cell factory, saw how the cell is made and interview/converse their Factory manufacturing lead, cell R&D lead and COO with tech questions .... the conversation was pretty interesting to say the least. You can make your own opinion. I was impressed. Link below.

IQ is a terrible measurement of a human being’s worth you dumbasses. Stop editing embryos based on it. (Sorry for being rude.)

I feel attacked 😂

@solankineha Aadha aadha gyan de rahe ho.. Baad Mein koi course to nahi bechoge??

Knowing when to stop is a skill..most people only learn it after they have already gone too far.. Anyways, its never too late..

This is my friend Surbhi Sarna. She came to Draper University in 2012. She had painful ovarian cysts as a teenager, but doctors didn’t have tools that could detect cancer without harming the ovaries. She studied molecular biology at UC Berkeley. Then came to DU. Then she built nVision around a fiber optic line product that could go up the fallopian tubes to detect cancer without harming the ovaries. Her medical device got FDA approval and nVision sold for $275 million to Boston Scientific. 200,000 women worldwide die each year from ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis by nVision can save many of these lives. Incredibly proud to have invested in Surbhi, her mission and her product. She is one of the poster star heroes from Draper University and we will always be grateful.

@solankineha Buy low sell high 😂😂😁

Son got good JEE mains rank..rishtas have already started to line up..ewww, indians..

@NasheCeezet_zw My Dad was famously late but in time at the right place for many..!!!

My doctor was always 45 mins late, every visit. No apology it’s just "Take a seat." Last time I waited 1 hour 20 mins then I left. Then wrote a google review. I wasn’t mean but just honest: "Always late, brings a book."2 stars. He called me that night from his personal cell. "You think I'm late because I don't respect your time?" I said "...yes?"

@PRAVESHPARAS Mil owners... Mill??

In the heart-wrenching streets of Noida, where desperate workers finally rose against unbearable exploitation, the situation may seem under control with dozens of FIRs and arrests, but the real pain lingers unspoken. These are not criminals—they are fathers, sons, and brothers, toiling over 12 gruelling hours daily in factories, only to receive meagre stipends instead of rightful salaries. Mill owners grow richer while workers families starve, dreams shattered under the weight of endless labour and broken promises. Their stones and anger were born from years of silent suffering, not malice. This fire in Noida is a cry for justice that will echo across India’s mills. Until exploitation ends and dignity is restored, unrest will spread like wildfire, demanding the nation finally hears their tears. We are not police state. We must address their problems. Why should milk owners become billionaires and these poor workers find it difficult to manage two meals a days. This is very unfortunate. They don’t have lawyers to get bail. They will spend rest of life, fighting in courts. Families will be shattered. They don’t have even 2-3 lacs to spend on their children wedding whereas milk owners enjoying with 49-50 lacs crores market cap. Why DM of Noida has not been suspended by now for not taking workers protest seriously.? You can’t destroy a city just because you are influential and nobody will touch you. @DILIPtheCHERIAN @iamnarendranath @JournoAshutosh @bainjal @rohini_sgh @vijaita @suhasinih @NidhiKNDTV @Saurabh_Unmute @NEETAS11 @maryashakil @BDUTT @myogiadityanath

Too much testosterone!!!

On Insulting Men for not Reading Novels Manu Joseph "As an expert on men, let me explain why most of them don't read novels. Because they find novels boring. There needs to be no other reason. Finding something uninteresting (including my own novels sadly) is a human emotion that does not need to explain itself. But still, you may want me to explain, so I will try: Most men have no curiosity about the lives of people they do not know, especially made-up people; and they lack the narcissism to connect the drama of fictitious people with their own lives. As a result, they are unable to overlook unremarkable plot lines and unremarkable scenes, particularly in 'literary' novels." (Read the entire piece free on my Substack. Link is in the comments.)

@WG_RumblePants Anil kumble didn't miss it!!!

I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance). So far I’ve got: Sir Viv Richards Sir Curtly Ambrose Courtney Walsh Sir Ian Botham Darren Gough Graham Gooch Robin Smith Kapil Dev Anil Kumble Mohammad Azharuddin Allan Donald Lance Klusener Javed Miandad Saeed Anwar Imran Khan Wasim Akram Waqar Younis Who have I missed out?

@solankineha Too much competition in that space plus the gov only rations a certain amount of soft power to these people. Happened to most of their peers as well.

I checked opindias tl and the engagement looks very low..there maybe ads, SEO traffic, reader funding etc, it still feels weak at a financial level..anyway, interesting to see the drop compared to what it was 6 yrs ago when i joined tw..

TMC did what RJD, JDU or LJP should have done, just as token of appreciation for what her dad did!!
