Gemini seeing news that Google is going to invest another $40B into Anthropic on top of the 14% it already owns of the Claude maker

I am not sure how many of us are aware that C V Raman did not start out as a scientist. He was a Govt Auditor (Finance Department) in Calcutta. He used to work his day job, then run to a tiny, modest lab at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at night. He once told a colleague that he did not need expensive European equipment. He used a small astronomical telescope & sunlight to prove light changes color when it hits molecules.

Sounds like a Ponzi scheme

India’s precision strike capability from the skies The Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (#SAAW)indigenously designed and developed by #DRDO and manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited (#BDL), developed for precision warfare, strengthens India’s ability to dismantle critical enemy assets from a safe distance. With a 90–100 km strike envelope, it empowers #IndianAirForce platforms to engage targets deep inside hostile territory without breaching dense #airdefence networks. #AtmanirbharBharat #AatmanirbharDefence #AirPower #DDP

Modern problems require modern solutions.

@SkyrootA Great going boiz

Vikram-1's Integrated Electrical Test Campaign — Phase 3 of pre-launch testing — is complete. This campaign brought everything together — the vehicle, ground software, and electrical interfaces — running as one system for the first time. Every on-board system had to initialize correctly. Every sensor, actuator, and control element had to respond exactly as commanded. Every team had to work together exactly as they would on launch day. And it did. 🫡 Next stop: Sriharikota.🚀 #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace

This steel line between the tugboat and the ship carries tons of force. It’s not just about pulling — it’s about controlled maneuvering. The critical factor: constantly changing tension. What do you think is the biggest risk

Some humour for the wonderful mango season! 😀😛😂 #mango #humour

@indianmatrix Well explained

Every infrastructure project is, in the end, an argument about time. Steel, concrete, and capital are the medium; what they produce is hours pulled out of the commute, the freight run, the ambulance ride. We have counted those hours across eighteen of India's largest transport projects built in the last decade. The numbers are striking on their face. - The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway compresses a 24-hour drive into 12 hours. - The Samruddhi Mahamarg halves the 16-hour Mumbai–Nagpur journey. - The Atal Setu folds a 2-hour crawl around Thane Creek into a 12-minute glide across the harbour. - The Zojila Tunnel, when it opens, will turn a 3.5-hour seasonal pass into a 15-minute year-round drive. In percentage terms, most projects compress their journeys by sixty to ninety per cent. But the deeper point is not that India is moving faster. It is that India is being remapped. Travel time is the truest measure of distance, not kilometres. Cities that are three hundred kilometres apart on the atlas may be functionally ten hours apart, while cities fourteen hundred kilometres apart on an expressway are functionally twelve. Every major piece of infrastructure in this dataset is a quiet redrawing of the country's real geography as experienced by the farmer with produce to sell, the worker with a job to reach, or the first-generation student with a university to reach. When a ferry of two hours becomes a bridge of ten minutes, the range of places a person can live, work, and belong greatly expands. This is why the phrase "space–time compression" is not an abstraction. It is a force that reshapes where people build homes, where companies locate offices, where hospitals get built, and eventually, where cities emerge. The places that will define the country in 2047 are being named on these corridors now: Jewar, Dholera, Partapur, Chirle, Sonamarg, and Modipuram. Today, they are dots on a spreadsheet. Tomorrow they will be economic facts.

South Korea is the Most Cunning Partner India have :) FDI Comparison if we do - Korea total investment in Vietnam is 13-14 times higher than in India. Vietnam economy is only 1/10th India's size. Samsung alone exports $54 billion a year from Vietnam. India has huge market but gets less factories and jobs. Vietnam got the real manufacturing boom. Even Recently Samsung going to build new factory there in Vietnam, in case of china we know the problem but in case of South Korea they do business under Radar, even this is bigger than i Imagine How South Korea Used free trade deal with India is just a Case study - when yu read it in detail yu will get it. Korea got a free trade deal (CEPA) in 2010. Under that deal, Korean goods entered India at zero or low duties. Samsung, Hyundai, LG used this to sell massively into India - phones, cars, appliances. India's imports from Korea went from $10B to $21B. India's exports to Korea actually fell - from $8B (FY22) to $5.8B (FY25). The trade deficit tripled from $5B to $15.2B. But selling wasn't the only play. The real play was value extraction: Hyundai - Paid itself a ₹10,782 crore special dividend (7.2x its normal payout), then did India largest IPO - 100% offer-for-sale. Every rupee of the $3.3B IPO went to the Korean parent. Then raised royalty rates from 2.5% to 3.5% per car. Three moves, one after another, all designed to drain cash from the Indian subsidiary to Seoul. LG - Same template. 100% offer-for-sale IPO, $1.4B to the Korean parent. The Indian subsidiary now trades at $12.5B market cap - higher than the Korean parent itself. LG used Indian investors money to value an Indian business that it still controls and still pulls dividends from. Samsung - Royalties paid to Korea jumped 50% to ₹3,322 crore in one year. After Korea changed its tax law in 2023 (no tax on foreign dividends coming home), Samsung pulled ₹22B worth of dividends from all overseas units in 9 months. India was one of the biggest sources. Combined - Hyundai + LG alone pulled $4.7B out of India in 12 months. All legal under CEPA. Best way to fuck RBI stricter Foreign Outflow What Korea did in Vietnam (same period) Korea put $92B of FDI into Vietnam. India got $6.7B. India economy is 10x Vietnam size. Samsung alone runs 6 plants in Vietnam, employs 100,000 people, exports $54B/year from there - that's 13% of Vietnam's entire exports. Vietnam got factories + jobs + exports. India got imports + deficit + cash extraction. Why Delhi stayed quiet for 15 years Diplomatic politeness. Also, during 2010–2020, India negotiating leverage was weaker. India needed Korean investment, Korean tech, Korean defence platforms. So the imbalance was a known problem that time but that time of dealmaker didn't think of long term MEA Secretary Kumaran publicly named the $15.2B deficit before President Lee landed. Commerce Minister Goyal called the 2010 CEPA irrational and lopsided. This was intentional signaling. What India wants in CEPA 2.0 - Four things: Services access - Indian IT exports to Korea are only $200M (vs $200B globally). India wants visa quotas for Indian engineers in Korean semiconductor/AI projects, and recognition of Indian professional qualifications. Pharma access - Indian generic drug exports to Korea are just $167M. Korea has rules that kill generic price advantage. India wants those removed. Forced local content - Like what Vietnam and Indonesia did. India wants 50% local value-addition by year 5, 70% by year 10. If you want to sell in India, build in India. Reciprocal sourcing - For every $1B defence/steel/shipbuilding contract India gives Korea, Korea must buy equivalent value of Indian services, pharma, components.

#OperationSindoor: राष्ट्र के अपमान का भीषण प्रतिशोध और संकल्प की विजय!✌🏻🇮🇳 पहलगाम की शांत वादियों में जब 22 अप्रैल, 2025 को कायर आतंकवादियों ने निर्दोष पर्यटकों का रक्त बहाया, तो समूचा राष्ट्र गहरे शोक और आक्रोश में डूब गया था। आतंकवादियों ने न केवल निहत्थे परिवारों पर प्रहार किया, बल्कि भारत की अखंडता और मानवीय संवेदनाओं को चुनौती दी थी। इस क्रूरता का उत्तर देने के लिए भारतीय सशस्त्र बलों ने #OperationSindoor का बिगुल फूंका। 6 और 7 मई की दरमियानी रात प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी के नेतृत्व में भारतीय सेना, वायुसेना और नौसेना के अद्वितीय समन्वय ने सीमा पार स्थित जैश-ए-मोहम्मद, हिजबुल मुजाहिदीन और लश्कर-ए-तैयबा के नौ प्रमुख ठिकानों को मिट्टी में मिला दिया। सटीक खुफिया जानकारी और अचूक निशानेबाजी के साथ 90 आतंकियों का संहार कर भारत ने यह स्पष्ट कर दिया कि हमारी बेटियों के माथे से सिंदूर छीनने वालों का हश्र केवल मृत्यु ही होगा। यह अभियान उन बलिदानियों को एक सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि है, जिन्होंने पहलगाम हमले में अपनी जान गंवाई।
