@prakdadlani we see this all the time. Loyalty has no respect in most cases. Hence it's important you choose a partnership based on people and not just on product or standing of a company in a market or category

You find a factory. You buy from them for years. You build the market. You take the risk. Then they sell the same product to your competitor. When it was you, who worked your a*s off. Now both you & your competitors fight for the same piece of pie that you baked. As a result: - Prices drop - Money is lost - Trust is gone Suppliers do this for a little extra money. It is not worth it. Good buyers are hard to find. Greed kills good partners. Protect the ones who stayed loyal to you.

@svembu i wish everyone in zoho and zakya understand this and follow. domain and also skills to understand how hardware works and how they can build solutions that's not hardware dependent or makes hardware expensive to run the solution

Here is what I tell our software engineers on how to thrive in the AI era: be very good domain experts. Programming skills are the foundation (and we definitely don't want to lose them) but deep domain knowledge is what customers pay for, along with reliability, security, support and compliance. The productivity gains from AI are still hotly debated: we definitely get to a working prototype much faster but a finished product has a lot more to it and not all the stages can be sped up by AI. That is why I advise our technical teams to not obsess about programmer productivity as a metric but focus on how we can offer a far better experience to customers using AI. There is a lot of needless or incidental complexity in software that can be eliminated by AI.

@ggreenwald when was it closed sir?

Nobody in the "credentialed class" ever thought any American President could get the Strait of Hormuz opened. Dozens tried, yet they all failed: until now. Trump somehow did it. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Strait of Hormuz was OPEN to movement of oil.

"On the night of December 18, 1994, a 27-year-old woman named Alison Botha did something completely ordinary. She dropped a friend home after a quiet evening of pizza and board games in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, grabbed her laundry from the backseat, and walked toward her apartment building. She never made it inside. A man with a knife forced his way into her car. He made her drive. He stopped to pick up a second man. Together, they took her to a deserted clearing in the dark outskirts of the city — far from any road, far from any voice that could help her. What happened next is almost impossible to write, and yet it happened. She was raped. She was stabbed in the abdomen more than 36 times. Her throat was slashed 17 times — so deeply that her head could no longer hold itself upright. They left her in the dirt, certain that no one survives that. One of them said exactly those words before they walked away. But she was still breathing. Alone in the dark, with her body barely held together, Alison made a decision. Not a loud one. Not a dramatic one. Just a quiet, fierce refusal to disappear. First, she wanted them to be found. Using the last strength in her fingers, she scratched two names into the sand — the names she had caught during the attack. Beneath them, she wrote four words: I love Mom. Then she began to move. One hand pressed against her abdomen to keep her organs inside. The other held her head in place so it wouldn't fall backward. She crawled. She fell. She got up. Her vision came and went. The pain should have made thought impossible. But something deeper — a stubborn, unbreakable sense that her life still mattered — kept pulling her forward. She reached the road. At around 2:45 in the morning, a young student named Tiaan Eilerd was driving that same stretch of road when he saw something on the white line. He stopped. He stayed with her. He called for help. He would later say he believed he was meant to find her at that exact moment — and that night changed the entire direction of his life. He went on to become a medical doctor. At the hospital, the surgical team had never seen anyone arrive in that condition and still be alive. She was not expected to survive the operation. She was not expected to make it through the night. She survived both. Unable to speak at first, she identified her attackers from a formal lineup — in a case that became the first in South African legal history to use a two-way mirror to protect a victim from facing her attacker. Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger were arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1995. But Alison wasn't done fighting. At a time when survivors were expected to stay silent, she spoke. She wrote a book called I Have Life. She stood on stages across more than 30 countries, telling her story not as a victim, but as proof that the human will to survive is more powerful than the worst things humans can do to each other. She had two sons — something doctors had once told her might never be possible. Then, in July 2023, after nearly 30 years, her attackers were granted parole without her being properly consulted. She found out by phone call. The stress of that news contributed to a massive brain aneurysm on September 25, 2024. She required emergency surgery to stop the bleeding, then a second surgery for fluid buildup. She lost movement. She lost speech. She had to relearn how to stand, how to talk, how to exist in a body that had already survived the unsurvivable — twice. And still, from her hospital bed, she sent messages of hope. On February 4, 2025, the Minister of Correctional Services revoked the parole. Both men were returned to prison. Alison continues her recovery today. In a recent message to the people who had supported her, she wrote: ""Whatever you're going through, it's just a patch. It might hit you unexpectedly and feel heavy, but if you keep moving forward, you'll come out the other side. Joy and happiness are waiting there for all of us. I WILL be okay."" She once said her life was too valuable to let go of. She has proven it — not once, but over and over again, one impossible inch at a time. If this story moved you, share it. Someone out there needs to read it today."

@prakdadlani very true. many don't look at all these and just look at price. product life cycle and whether support will be there for the life cycle is also important

If you are planning to import from China or already importing from China… You may be losing money without knowing it. Most importers focus only on price. Smart importers focus on: - fake factories - payment traps - quality scams - shipping delays - mould ownership - supplier psychology - hidden compliance risks One small mistake can destroy margins for months. I just wrote a detailed guide on how serious buyers actually manage Chinese suppliers from India. If importing is part of your future, you need to read this. Subscribe. x.com/prakdadlani/st…

@prakdadlani Sunday 19th April will u be there sir ?

China banned international booths this phase of the Canton fair 😭 So this time around visiting to hunt for the next line of products to Swadeshify 🇮🇳 Will be here for the next few days, mostly in area A DM me to meet up and discuss any opportunities to Indianise! My WeChat:

@dmuthuk corruption should be eliminated. serious penalty for corruption is required. companies who ever breaks rules and compliance should be seriously punished. cancel few of their license to operate the fear will bring the change

I know we cannot replicate China or Singapore model in India. At the same time, these two countries imposed death penalties for food adulteration, spurious drugs and many other crimes which is considered normal in India. Unless we bring serious punishment for crimes and actually implement it, very difficult to grow as a nation. Not only our netas and babus, as a society, we are extremely corrupt.

with all the challenges TN is still a well developed state. if we bring in good civic sense and ensure the younger generation have avenues to learn many foreign languages and explore the world TN will grow faster. it's possible and key is to build. Can the govt who ever facilitate this?

To be honest, if my memory serves me right, for almost last 15 years we have 24/7 power in Tamil Nadu.

@prakdadlani fast and consistent. china is not about cheap labor. they are innovating now. we also need to think and leap frog and innovate too.

India pays workers about ₹20K/month. China pays ₹55K/month. So we think: India is cheaper. But wait. China workers do 2–5x more work. That means: 1 worker in China = 2-5 workers in India So per product, China can still be cheaper. Now look at Vietnam: - Pays around ₹17–20K/month - Workers are faster than India - And goods come to India at low/zero duty So companies think: “Why make here… when we can import?” Now you see the real issue: India is not losing on wages. India is losing on speed and output. Cheap is not enough. You have to be fast.

Who is the best spiritual guru in today’s India? I see million babas but no one of class of Osho or Swami Vivekananda or Jiddu Krishnamurti or Sri Aurobindo.

@RoseTint4 why do you even think people in TN won't want to learn Hindi. do a survey of what's the second language most kids have selected in school. you will be surprised. just try

I have been living with a Tamil girl for the past two months. She rented a floor in my house, and we’ve developed a close bond. She can’t speak or understand Hindi, which is perfectly fine. One day, we were having a conversation, and she said she doesn’t like the attitude of Tamil Nadu politicians toward Hindi. I responded that I feel if South Indians don’t want to learn Hindi, it shouldn’t be forced on them. She then said that they don’t even allow those who willingly want to learn Hindi. To be honest, I find it hard to accept that there are people in Tamil Nadu who actually want to learn Hindi. Isn’t it hard to believe?

Om Sree Mahaperiyavaa Saranam!!
