Raipur’s Solar Sunrise India’s FIRST Virtual Net Metering Rooftop Solar under #PMSuryaGhar launched at Raipur apartment! Every flat gets clean solar power - NO rooftop panels needed. Building Smart City Raipur with “हमने बनाया है- हम ही संवारेंगे” spirit.

Over the last five financial years, public sector banks, government-owned/controlled financial institutions, and foreign direct investments have cumulatively invested around ₹7.16 trillion (~$79.13 billion) in #India’s #RenewableEnergy sector. mercomindia.com/india-attracts…

In an exclusive interview with Mercom, Nishanth Dongari, Founder and Managing Director at @pureenergyindia, discussed his company’s offerings, the #battery #energystorage systems market in India, and regulatory and policy challenges faced by the segment. mercomindia.com/made-for-india…

With #CERC proposing a further narrowing of the DSM tolerance bands, project developers expect to see revenue losses as high as 65% for #wind and #solar projects. The rise in project costs are likely to be passed on as higher RE tariffs. My deep dive for @MercomIndia

I am starting a resistance movement against intellectual decay. An offline experiment in Bangalore - Indiranagar, Koramangala, HSR. No AI. No noise. Just very hard, intellectually stimulating problems being solved the old school way. Every weekend, a few of us meet underground (read cafes & offices) to solve brutally hard problems - math, code, biotech, philosophy, rocket science; anything that hurts the brain a little. Not a startup. Not a class. A club for thinkers who want to develop an intellectual edge. The idea is simple: AI is making our lives easier, but our minds weaker. There was a time we wrote algorithms by hand. Debugged for days. Solved equations that obsessed us for weeks. That pain built mental muscle - but with AI its being degraded. As AI becomes smarter, intellectual inequality will increase, & being sharp without AI will be your advantage. If this speaks to you, drop me a dm/comment. Welcome to The Mind Club.

Still working on my Kannada… but Rizta’s picking it up faster. The Kannada dashboard will start rolling out tomorrow via OTA in a phased manner. Happy Kannada Rajyotsava!

Bengaluru airport is in talks with traffic police to impose fines on vehicles parked over five minutes at Kempegowda Airport to ease congestion. However, both BIAL and traffic police maintain that the proposal is still under discussion. A similar attempt was earlier scrapped after public outrage @BLRAirport @blrcitytraffic

@BlrCityPolice Many of the traffic junctions in #Bengaluru were dug for installing #VAC traffic signals,but after the installation of the new signals roads are not leveled,hence making them accident spots @BBMPCOMM @ICCCBengaluru @Jointcptraffic @anil_lulla @ChristinMP_ @Melvin_Mercom

Elections to five Bengaluru city corporations are certain as KPCC president @DKShivakumar on Sunday appointed Congress MLCs to coordinate with Ministers. A committee has also been formed for party organisational work for the upcoming polls.
