After 14years in Germany, I’m back in my beloved Bangalore with bigger dreams than I initially left with 🤩 If you’re building something in automotive or anything tech really, I have a decade of R&D experience & expertise at Mercedes, let’s talk! DMs open.

Update: twitter came through. I've received 24000k so far. A friend has assured 10k and our law firm (corporate office) has assured 10k. That reaches the target. Thanks to each and everyone of you for contributing and also for helping spread the word. PLEASE DON'T PAY FURTHER

Ask any Neonatologist what their top 5 worst case scenarios to get crash called are. One of them definitely is prolonged labour going to emergency c-section. So, please can the idiot men stop ‘section shaming’ women! Khud se toh kidney stones bhi sehen na ho 😏

Some man commenting on the grit, determination and ‘skill’ of a pregnant lady to give birth ‘normally’. Le me—-

My househelp's sister 's son has to undergo a surgery. they are struggling to arrange the fee. KC General sent them to Manipal. They haven't given a clear estimate yet but have informed that surgery post op care will cost about 60,000 rupees. Do you know any NGO that may help?

Ladies, be physically active during your pregnancy. Talk to your gynaec about what work outs are safe and what isn’t. But working out is NOT a guarantee for a vaginal birth. There many other factors that contribute. Vaginal or C-Section, birth is birth. What matters is a healthy baby & mother at the end of it.

Repackaged ಸ್ಟೀಲ್ ಪಾತ್ರೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್! Does anyone remember?

I think it's kinda poetic how for his first win with Ferrari, Lewis was on the podium with a Mercedes and a McLaren driver, his previous two teams

Bengaluru may soon turn lost lakes and waterlogging spots into floodable landscapes to tackle flooding. GBA has identified 19 disused lakes for the intervention. Interestingly, it’s old wisdom with modern names. Read on 👇 (Also, how many of these lakes have you even heard of?)

How this unplanned real estate hell is going to be reversed is unfathomable. Ppl are buying these at multiples of crores each without any consideration for urban planning, utilities, amenities or traffic patterns/public transit.

Dear @DKShivakumar avare, For too long, successive GoKs have focused on Bengaluru & missed opportunities for diversified growth coming from Mangaluru-Manipal belt, and Hubli-Belgaum which have great potential. Hoping that your stint will change this one horse policy of the state.

Huge congrats to Lewis 👏 First 1-2-3 British podium for almost 60 years which is pretty cool 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Deutschland!! Los geht’s!! 🇩🇪

Even the Hermes annual report is on brand

2/2 If you or your loved ones have lived with child B cirrhosis, portal hypertension or variceal bleeding, I'd be grateful if you could share your experience. Looking for hope, guidance and positive stories right now. Please help this reach people who've been through it. 🙏🏻

1/2 🧵 The last few days have been some of the hardest of my life. My father (teetotaler) was admitted to the ICU after severe variceal bleeding and now has been diagnosed with child B liver cirrhosis.

Save Mangaluru. Save Netravati. Stop Yettinahole. We grew up believing Netravati was permanent. Today, that belief is being tested. Since 2012, the Yettinahole Project has grown from ₹8,000 crore to over ₹25,000 crore. Yet the one question nobody seems willing to answer honestly is this: How much water can be taken from Netravati before Mangaluru begins to run dry? Netravati is not surplus water. It is the water in our homes, in our farms. The water that sustains fishermen, farmers, businesses, wildlife, and entire communities across Coastal Karnataka. When a river is called "surplus" from an office in Bengaluru, it sounds like a number on a file. For us, it is life itself. The warning signs are already here. Reservoirs are under stress. Water scarcity is becoming more frequent. Farmers are worried. Fishing communities are reporting changes. And still, the diversion continues. What makes this even more painful is that once a river is damaged, there is no undo button. If Netravati weakens, Mangaluru weakens. If Netravati dies, a part of Tulunadu dies with it. Once a river is lost, no amount of crores can bring it back. If we remain silent today, future generations will ask why we watched the lifeline of Coastal Karnataka disappear without a fight.

Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it? The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well. Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India. The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption. Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.

India's top 5 IT companies have generated total net profit of 10L Cr or $125B since 2015, of which $90B was given in dividends Anthropic has raised a total of $40B in the same time frame, with India's IT majors giving 2.5x in just dividends We could have made a serious AI lab
