India is home to nearly 18% of the world's population, yet has only about 2.4% of the world's land area and around 4% of global freshwater resources. Supporting one fifth of humanity with limited natural resources is both India's greatest challenge and one of its greatest achievements. The question is not whether India has enough resources. The question is whether we can use our resources, talent, technology and institutions efficiently enough to support one fifth of humanity. Productivity, not population, will determine India's future.

Dear @RBI: Do not let the psychology of Rs 100 per dollar determine your policy response. 100 is just a number, like 99 and 101. Whether the oil shortage is short-lived or long-lived, the right response at this moment is to let the rupee depreciate. 1/6

College career path ‘over’ as skilled trade get 30% pay bump, recruitment giant says cnb.cx/3RjPiba "Specialized skilled trade roles are now offering salaries that compete with traditional office jobs, with wage growth up 30% in the U.S. in the past four years, up 21% in the Netherlands, 18% in Germany, and 9% in the U.K, according to Randstad’s latest data shared with CNBC. Mechanics now earn an average of $79,000 in the Netherlands and $76,600 in Germany, while in the broader housing and construction sector in the U.K., average salaries reach over $78,500."

Thank you @narendramodi 🙏🏻

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea. This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries. It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

"India's space program has seen exceptional achievements, including the successful lunar landings in 2023. Sweden does not have that ambition yet," says Sweden PM Ulf Kristersson as PM Modi smiles 🇮🇳🚀🇸🇪 Now Sweden will join ISRO’s Venus Orbiter Mission. ISRO has become a symbol of India’s scientific rise and strategic credibility.

Financial markets, of all domains, offer the optimal combination of deep and broad datasets for AI tools to operate on. Importantly, outcomes can measured and the models can be tested with a low margin of error. It is no surprise that DeepSeek emerged from a quant fund. It is also clear that funds like Citadel and prop shops like Jane Street push AI usage to the limits and find ways to extract alpha through it. The bigger question from here is how a technology capable of replacing researchers in finance can transform other domains. Access to clean, modellable datasets and clear, actionable content is often a bottleneck. This imposes constraints on accuracy and capability. Other companies well positioned to take advantage of their data are social media platforms. Modeling and predicting human decisions is possible because of the vast quantities of data available and constant feedback for testing that social media users offer by their mere presence. The learning curve, however, will taper without data from the physical world. IoT adoption and integration will be needed for access continuous large scale human preference data on a broader scale. If these firms want a gigantic live reinforcement learning environment, billions need to be plugged in even when away from their phones. Cars and drones are ideal data harvesters (the Chinese understood this early on). They beat wearables like AI glasses in terms of user uptake at this stage. A chip implant in the human body that collects vast quantities of biological data is even more intrusive and will find even fewer adopters to start with. Overall, the next big push to take AI to the next level will be on the technologies that create a step change in data harvesting.

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

India's peak power demand hit 260 GW yesterday. New all-time record. During a heatwave with 47°C temperatures across North India. The grid held. No blackouts. That sentence alone is an engineering achievement most people will not appreciate. Five years ago India had chronic power deficits. Load shedding was normal. In 2023, peak demand hit 243 GW and several states struggled. In April 2026, the grid delivered 260 GW without a single major failure. What changed: 26.5 GW of new capacity added in FY26 — largest annual addition in a decade. Solar alone contributed 18 GW. New HVDC transmission corridors connecting surplus regions to deficit ones. Battery storage deployments cushioning peak load. But the margin is razor thin. India's grid is designed for about 270 GW. We just touched 260 GW. That is 96% utilisation during peak hours. One more heatwave spike or an unexpected plant outage and the buffer disappears. This is why every power stock hit 52-week highs. The market sees what the headlines miss — India needs $150 billion in power infrastructure investment over five years just to keep up. Data centres, EVs, semiconductor fabs, industrial expansion — all need reliable 24/7 power. The grid is the bottleneck holding everything else together.

Join the nation in remembering the victims of the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack, which took place this day last year. India stands steadfast in its resolve to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

Pune: The civic sense and traffic discipline of Punekars have once again come under scrutiny. Near Westend Mall in the Aundh area, a reckless driver violated traffic rules and drove on the wrong side. What is even more alarming is that several two-wheeler riders blindly followed him, copying the same dangerous act. Notably, the car that first broke the rule was seen carrying a “Government of India” plate in the video. #Pune #PuneTraffic #CivicSense #RoadSafety #TrafficRules

India’s tallest 182m cable-stayed bridge Pune-Mumbai Missing Link set for May 1 inauguration 🇮🇳 The 13.3 km corridor bypasses the Khandala ghat, cuts ~6 km distance, and reduces travel time by 25–30 minutes. Features India’s tallest pylons (182m), an 8.9 km wide tunnel, and advanced engineering.

India is about to activate 3 trade deals in 6 months. UK FTA goes live May. Oman June 1. New Zealand signs April 27, force by October. 8 free trade agreements since 2014. EU concluded January 2026. US talks resume next week in Washington. The old knock on India was "they don't do trade deals." That was true for decades. Between 2004 and 2020, India signed exactly one major FTA (ASEAN). Since 2021: UAE, Australia, Mauritius, EFTA, Oman, UK, NZ, EU. Eight in five years. I think what's changed isn't just political will — it's that Indian manufacturing finally has something to sell. You don't sign export-oriented FTAs when your factories can't compete. You sign them when they can.

In India, a young guy bought a new motorcycle, and his mother blessed it with their house cat so it would protect him from accidents and bring good luck🥹🥰 In a world where cats are often seen as bad omens, this video made me so happy. One day when I get my own motorcycle, I’m definitely doing the same ritual with my cat Luna! ♥️
