@BRICSinfo Lets every contry with navy do the same at their own perimeter and hormuz

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump says US may impose tolls on Strait of Hormuz if a deal with Iran is not reached in 60 days.

@jainimans @svembu @AvoiceofBihar Just need to block whatsapp like telegram on the basis of data privacy. Not a big deal.

@svembu @AvoiceofBihar How will you convince everyone to use Arattai instead of WhatsApp? In my network, only some people use Arattai, and most of the groups are also on WhatsApp. If I want to chat with a client, I will have to use WhatsApp. It's creating an international networking barrier.

Our teams have worked very hard on Mail infrastructure. Quoted below: customer praise for Zoho ZeptoMail which is our transactional email platform. We are applying these capabilities to broader instant messaging area as well. Thank you Sandeep 🙏

@Polymarket Dont know what Italians think, but world view Meloni as a strong politician, country that denied US to use their land for war isnt small stuff to pull. pure boldness.

JUST IN: Italy’s top diplomat cancels upcoming visit to the U.S. over Trump-Meloni dispute.

@anandmahindra Ecosystem and elite team is the base of it

I ran across this video a few days ago and couldn’t stop watching it. It’s about something ordinary & boring, a plastic gas lighter. But it changes how one thinks about manufacturing. That lighter in so many of our homes, holds pressurised gas. It has over 30 microscopic parts, has to pass international safety codes, & travel 10,000 miles by sea, & the total cost of doing all that, materials, labour, freight, every middleman along the way, comes to fifteen U.S cents. So how does anyone make money on this? Turns out almost the entire world’s supply comes from one place: a county called Shaodong, in China’s Hunan province. It wasn’t always there. But today, Shaodong has 114 lighter-related companies packed into the place & between them they source more than 200 different components from each other, all within a 20-kilometre radius. They supply something like seventy percent of the world’s disposable lighters. And the industry alone employs over 80,000 people locally. Nobody there is winning on cheap labour anymore. They’re winning by shaving a thousandth of a cent off the thickness of a plastic wall, or redesigning a base so a few thousand more units fit into the same shipping container. It took my thoughts back to an old professor of mine, Michael Porter. His 1980 book, Competitive Strategy, is still the 1st book most MBAs read, the one that gave the world the Five Forces and basically invented modern strategic thinking. But there’s a quieter piece of his work, on industrial clusters, that never got nearly the same attention, and it is the one that explains exactly what is happening in Shaodong. His argument was that nations and regions rarely win because of cheap inputs. They win when rival firms and specialist suppliers crowd into the same small geography for long enough that they keep pushing each other past what any one of them could manage alone. He found it in the Swiss watchmaking towns of the Jura, in the German printing press industry and in Italy’s ceramic tile and footwear districts (interestingly, it’s the SAME blueprint which built Morbi, in Gujarat, into the world’s second-largest ceramic cluster, now outproducing Italy by volume. I have posted before, about Morbi) None of these started out as giants. The neighbourhood made them giants. Which is exactly why it’s so relevant to India’s climb up the global manufacturing table I’ve also attached a slide with this post that I saw recently and which shows us breaking into the top 5 manufacturing globally. (A quick reference check told me that we may not have overtaken Korea yet, but the trajectory’s clear) That climb has happened on the back of scale: bigger plants, bigger parks, more FDI. I should declare an interest here, because the Mahindra Group set up 2 of India’s first integrated, plug-and-play business cities, in Chennai in 2002 & Jaipur in 2006. Both have been extremely successful. Chennai’s business zone alone today employs 45,000 people.. But I admit that we need to think differently. A park brings in investors and hands them a ready plot, power, water & roads A cluster is a completely different animal: hundreds of small, specialised suppliers, each obsessed with doing a tiny thing better than anyone else, feeding off each other’s presence for years until no outsider can compete with the whole. I think that’s the work ahead of us now. Not just more factories, and not just more parks. Policymakers & developers like us need to start consciously pulling as many of the inputs and resources a sector needs, the toolmakers, the component suppliers, the testing labs, the logistics specialists, into the same neighbourhood. Shaodong and Morbi both got there by accident, one town stumbling onto a way to shave a thousandth of a cent off a lighter wall, the other discovering it had the clay and, later, the gas pipeline for tiles. We don’t have the luxury of waiting for accidents anymore. We need to do it on purpose

@SagarAwatade I wish to develop / be part of an ecosystem that can build anything, a selfless team or community.

I wanted to build a 100% Made in India water flosser. So I invested ₹40 lakhs and 2 years of my life. The result? Not one product that met global quality standards. Today, that investment is almost zero. The problem isn't that India can't manufacture. The problem is the "Chalta hai" mindset. "Are nahi chalta bhai." Every "chalta hai" creates another import. Every compromise tells the world: "We don't care enough." Until we obsess over quality, we will always be slave to foreign imports.

@iNikhilsaini You might have forgotten that Tata owns Range Rover and Jaguar. If you have noticed, Tata started getting 5-star safety standards after the purchase of JLR.

Tata Sierra had an accident with an Audi Q3 and the difference is shocking. The Sierra barely seems to have any major damage while the Audi took a much bigger hit. For years there’s been an effort to undermine Indian car brands, but they’re proving themselves now. Indian cars are getting seriously good in terms of safety and build quality 📍Kullu

@svembu Build a national Scale Team: elite talent from every sector like engineers, developers, cybersecurity, manufacturing, operations, design and execution deployed into high-potential companies for 3–12 months with government support to build and scale faster.

Zoho views itself as "self-funding R&D labs". That is why we stay private. This model won't suit VCs or public investors. Outside of Zoho, we invest in founders (almost all engineers or scientists) with that same world view. Signal Chip and Netrasemi vTitan and Voxelgrids Ultraviolette and Boson Motors GenRobotics Zentron Labs and Pilabz ... and a few more not yet announced. All with this world view. None of them obsess about "exit". The last two even have "labs" in their name! The American approach of stock market capitalism is not the only path. We believe that model does not suit Bharat well, definitely not for building deep tech. We need a lot more "self-funding R&D labs". We will remain this way.

@DHSgov US has ~775–900 unicorns. Around 59% were founded or co-founded by immigrants. A large share of those immigrant founders came from 3rd World And this doesn’t even count immigrant CEOs, executives, CTOs or technical leaders at major US companies.

@DHSgov Out of ~455 immigrant-founded US unicorns(billion dollar company) 1st World: ~190–230
3rd World: ~180–250
2nd World: ~50–70 The gap is much smaller than most people think. India alone contributed 96 US unicorns. 425k direct jobs, paying 4B+ salary/month.

Import the third world, become the third world. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 🇺🇸

@narendramodi @BharatInnov2026 I’m prepared to move, but only if the process is straightforward and low-friction. I previously attempted to register a startup remotely via IndiaFilings, but the experience was unsuccessful and cost me ₹50,000.

Come to India. Work with us. Design in India. Develop in India. And create solutions for the world. @BharatInnov2026

@svembu I hope you are still working on arattai app, Bcs at one point whatsapp will be blocked in india like claude got blocked them models.

We think the Economics Nobel Prize confers some kind of real economic insight about how a poor country becomes rich. It does not. If you want real insight about how a developing nation gets rich, study Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, study Japan, study South Korea, study Taiwan, study post-Mao China. They have all lifted people up from poverty, produced widely shared prosperity but they do not produce Nobel Laureates in Economics. The book "How Asia Works" by Joe Studwell is a great read. Tldr; ignore Nobel Laureates in Economics. That is not the path to wealth.

@Keir_Starmer Wrong move. Social media trains people to process huge amounts of information fast. In a future with bci, digital fluency could matter more, not less. Instead of blocking under-16s, push more technology, science, and builder content into their feeds alongside normal posts.

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

@svembu NORTH KOREA is 4th in cyber hacking capability ranking, india is almost 10th in asia itself. it’s not we lack talent its because we arent trained to do so.

@svembu If you could make top hackers like Israel & china, you can control politicians & copy tech secrets around the world. Kaveri flight would have completed in a month than the prog runs 35years to figure out single crystal HPT blades. Hacker are secret pillar to build nation

I would frame the issue facing Bharat as sovereign tech in general and not just sovereign AI. AI is the tip of a whole pyramid of capabilities, most of it we don't have and we don't even hear about. Most of those capabilities are not very expensive to acquire (unlike AI itself) - they require time and talent, and far smaller amounts of money than AI. As an example, Japanese firms we don't hear about have critical technologies that AI data centers need. Japanese play in many such critical sectors. I would recommend a broad national effort at every layer of the tech pyramid. We must do AI R&D but we must not lose sight of the pyramid.

@vdsatheesan Medical tourism promotion can be done with the help of foreign influencers.

As soon as my attention was drawn to reports that financial assistance announced by the previous government for #Vinodini, a native of #Palakkad who had to undergo amputation of her hand due to alleged negligence by the Health Department, had been delayed for four months, I immediately contacted the Director of the Women and Child Development Department. Financial assistance to Vinodini and other children was being provided under the Sponsorship Scheme of the Women and Child Development Department. The pending arrears will be cleared at the earliest using the available funds. Necessary instructions have already been issued in this regard.

@PMOIndia Russia has the best mind when it comes to hacking. Please dont use their expert to build your own. If so dont release the hacked data to private companies via proxy. And dont build great firewall to track every data transaction.

@PMOIndia If a country build a hidden enterprise espionage using hackers, get the core weight of chatgpt and anteopic and copy paste to their own ai or similar. then use that model to build new models. do the same for satellite companies and semiconductors. You just need good hackers.

Deeply saddened by the loss of lives in Solapur Rural, Maharashtra, due to a tragic mishap. My thoughts are with the bereaved families in this hour of grief. Praying for the speedy recovery of the injured. An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi

@PMOIndia why do you think USA is friendly to japan and taiwan?? because they are the semiconductor experts. The next moment they achive it in house from elon musks terafab they are done. localisation is the future. Tech is the king. Isreal is best at it. they hack presidents.

@PMOIndia but dont do it, it is illegal . 🤫

@CENTCOM You are forcing india to become china. Lets be it.
