There's a joke amongst paleontologists: when looking for fossils, search in the museum drawer.

@Giridhar_Raju Why are you expecting to see Chennai if Madeaspatinam and Fort St George are already labeled ? 😊

@sid6mathur Also, I can see Madraspatinam but no Chennai anywhere.

This is the conceit of the young.
Imagine being born in America in 1910. When you were a teenager, the world switched from horses to cars. You lived through one war in Europe as a child, and a totally different one as a young man. You saw prohibition and the great depression, then barely two decades in, the most glorious period of growth in history. Your father perhaps fought in the civil war, and you got to see the civil rights movement. Your kids brought rock and roll into the home, and your grandkids listened to disco. You spent your middle age watching television every evening. You saw the moon landing at age 59, and if you were lucky you caught the end of the cold war.
Not bad for a generation that "lived and died within one aesthetic"
signüll@signulll
the strangest luxury? or maybe a kind of grief of being alive right now is being able to experience culture changing dramatically right before your eyes. i.e. for most of history you lived & died inside one aesthetic, one set of manners, & maybe even one cast of characters who existed around you. whereas now trends, relationships, & entire social codes turn over in months, maybe even less. i mean you don’t need a god damn tv anymore. daily life has acquired almost all of its properties. e.g. ppl now experience themselves partly as characters, relationships as arcs, conflict as content, time as seasons, etc. we all thought that the feed was built to document reality but in its true essence it actually now teaches reality how to behave. existence itself became the content. which is kinda crazy if you ponder over it for length of time.

@hschhaya @ietf @IIESoc_in @DhruvDhody Very kind of you, Harshal :). Yes, presentations should be available in a week or two at connections.iiesoc.in/programme

@sid6mathur @ietf @IIESoc_in @DhruvDhody I love this for so many reasons - being a standards nerd, an IETF fan, an impressed beneficiary of geolocations improvements over the years 😃
Thanks for sharing on here
Are the presentations available online?

@Giridhar_Raju They are separately labeled - reuse of the colour palette that’s all. Which city is of interest to you ? Lots of coastal towns in Andhra were OG trading ports then and some are shown with European colonial nation flags (“Explicatio Signorum”)

@sid6mathur the text is not readable, but the how come coastal Andhra and Srilanka are the same colour?

@thenaveeneffect @prakdadlani @nasscomstartups It still exists (moved to HSR) ; although it has a narrower IoT and small devices niche: coe-iot.com/innovate-iot-l…
(supported by Govt of Karnataka's IT/BT department)
English
@nasscomstartups in Indiranagar had similar ideas. They got started with having 3d printers, shared machines, labs, and a few others if my memory serves me right.
Another approach: have so many factories that they are all under utilised, that additional capacity becomes the launchpad for the new generation
English
If a salaried person wants to build a software application or digital services agency, the entry barrier is virtually zero.
They just need a laptop and an internet connection.
But if the same person wants to start manufacturing...
They need:
• Land
• Factory space
• Expensive machinery
• 6-12 months of approvals
• Huge upfront capital
My suggestion to the Government of India:
Build Manufacturing Parks for first-time entrepreneurs.
Instead of selling 10-acre plots, create buildings with 500-1,000 sq. ft. ready-to-use factory units.
Every unit should come with:
• 3-phase electricity already connected
• Pollution & fire approvals already cleared
• Shared CNC machines, injection moulding, testing labs & warehouses
• Common logistics and loading docks
• Month-to-month rentals instead of land purchases
• Single online portal to book a unit within 7 days
Let engineers keep their jobs while testing manufacturing on a small scale.
We built co-working spaces for software.
It's time we built co-factories for manufacturing.

Dear News18,
The BDA team wasn’t there on the TV. They were indeed on the field. Led by Brig Shantharam (retd) the BDA team along with your reporter is visiting site 1 tomorrow.
BDA is transparent and accountable. That’s why we are not just on the SM, but respond to queries in public view, which rarely any govt dept does.
Thank you News18. We will take your team to not just site:1, but any other site or every site that you team wants to visit.
And the audited expenditure details of this event will be published on our website on 27th July. Auditing is happening now.
The info on expenditure you have aired appears to be incorrect as no NGO working with BDA has reported taking such huge CSR funds.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Regards
BDA Helpline.

Ahead of July 4, I wrote about Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and how their wars against the British were avidly followed by the Founding Fathers. It concludes with my memory of visiting Tipu’s fortress as a teenager:
These battles have completely receded from the American imagination, even though, in some ways, the American rebellion was a sideshow to a far greater imperial drama. Britain, arguably, decided to cut its losses with the unruly thirteen colonies to better safeguard its more lucrative possessions in the Caribbean and South Asia. Meanwhile, every Indian schoolkid knows of Tipu Sultan’s last stand, and generations of Britons were raised on tales of colonial derring-do and the menace of the “tiger of Mysore,” Tipu’s sobriquet. (An ornate automaton that Tipu once possessed, of a tiger eating a British soldier, is probably the most well-known object in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.) In more recent years, the culture wars waged by India’s ruling Hindu nationalists have complicated the image of Tipu and his father, who some now have recast as bloodthirsty Muslim warlords rather than icons of national resistance. But that was not the case when, as a teen-ager, multiple decades ago, I went with my family on a tour of the ruins of Tipu’s fortress. Guides spoke of the monthlong siege that ended only because of the treachery of a local noble who turned on the sultan and allowed British troops to scale the walls. Tipu himself was found slain near a passageway once used to bring water into the fort; it’s dubbed the Water Gate. “First Watergate, Seringapatam,” the guide told us, elongating the consonants in melodious, if broken, English. “Second Watergate, Washington.”

@srinualavilli @GBA_office Need to 10x direct and indirect employment by state and municipal roles if our cities have to be rescued. Basically, to get Passport Seva Kendra level of services, only 10-20% staff hours should be “government employees”, everyone else should be SOP-powered private employee.
English
Our @GBA_office already has limited staff and many vacant positions, repeated deployments like this keep eating into civic officials’ time & less available to citizens.
In recent memory, the same staff have been pulled for door-to-door work : first the socio-economic census, then the Census in phases, and now SIR. Each time they’re retrained, posted across different parts of the city, and many end up seeking exemptions and quality of data suffers.
If we’re serious about fixing urban governance, we need to stop repurposing the same limited staff for every new exercise.
Either recruit more permanent staff, or outsource such time-bound activities as short-term jobs.
With so many of our educated youth already working gig roles, recruiting and training a temporary workforce shouldn’t be hard.

Feeling emotional walking into our new huge @arrayvc office in San Francisco in Dogpatch neighborhood!
This year marks 10 years of Array Ventures.
When I started the firm I had a simple conviction that every industry would eventually be rebuilt around data. Healthcare, finance, manufacturing, logistics. Data and AI would become the new infrastructure.
That’s why I named the firm Array after the first data structure that truly clicked for me in my CS classes. A decade later that belief has only grown stronger.
Today we’re managing $250M AUM, have backed 91 companies, partnered with 150+ founders, & celebrated 20 exits. And it still feels like we’re just grin getting started!
If you’re building an ambitious company, looking for a place to work between meetings, or interested in operations or analyst roles, my DMs are open.
More details on our office opening celebration soon! 👀

1. We should make it easier for companies to flip back to India.
2. We should make it easier for investors to invest in Indian companies
3. We should make it easier for investors to sell their stake
4. We should never ever ever impose retrospective tax on any company. Even RMG 🤮
5. We should make it easier for Indian companies to be acquired
6. We should make it easier for Indian companies to acquire other Indian companies
7. Our regulators and govt agencies should stop treating entrepreneurs as criminals and expecting "haazri". If you've found criminality, build a case and prosecute. Courts should fine the state for cases that they lose because of weak evidence. The process should not be the punishment.
Founders build businesses in this country despite the state, unless they're crony capitalists.
Every founder has a choice: build in this country or outside. Dubai and Singapore want founders to move and build there.
We shouldn't punish the ones that chose to build in our country.
I'm not saying this about Zepto or any company in particular. Just observations from conversations with founders.
Aaditya Aanand@biased_human
Exactly 60 days before Zepto filed for its IPO on 9th June, ED summoned both its founders, Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra. They had to show up in person. Kaivalya showed up twice, on 17th and 22nd April. Aadit went on 20th April and 15th May. But why? ED wanted to question them about the "Scheme". The Scheme is the reverse flip Zepto did before the IPO. Zepto used to sit under a parent company in Singapore called Kiranakart. They moved the holding company back to India right before listing. The updated DRHP admits that Zepto is a foreign-owned and controlled company even today. ED asked for foreign investments, how the reverse flip happened, old balance sheets, property they own, bank accounts, tax returns, basically everything. But they seemed especially interested in the holding structure and the reverse flip. If this turns into an investigation, it can lead to massive penalties for Zepto. And it is not me saying this. Zepto itself has admitted it in the DRHP. Source: Page 59 and 587 of the U-DRHP
