One American company is now worth almost as much as every company on India's stock market combined. All five thousand of them. It is Google, and the $80 billion it just raised is the part Uday Kotak is calling a wake-up call for India. His numbers hold up. Over the past year Google made about $160 billion in profit, which is about what all of India's listed companies earn between them. It is worth around $4.5 trillion. One firm in California, about the size of an entire country's stock market. Google is selling brand-new shares to cover this, even though it sits on one of the largest piles of cash on earth. Issuing new stock leaves everyone who already owns Google with a slightly smaller slice of it, an odd move for a company this rich. One of the buyers is Warren Buffett. For twenty years he called Google the one that got away. His own insurance company, Geico, was one of its earliest advertisers, and he still never bought the stock. His firm, Berkshire Hathaway, only started buying in late 2025, and it is now adding another $10 billion. About $30 billion of the $80 billion goes somewhere dull: covering the tax bill on shares Google hands its own staff. The profit is flattering too. Google's latest quarter showed $62 billion, but close to $29 billion of that was paper gains, profit it made only on paper because companies it has invested in, like the AI firm Anthropic, shot up in value. Nothing was actually sold. Strip those gains out and Google's core search and cloud business earned about what it usually does. The company is quietly cashing in on the same AI boom it is spending a fortune to win. And the raise is the small number here. Google will spend around $185 billion this year on the data centers behind its AI, more than every listed Indian company earns in a year, and it has told investors 2027 will be bigger still. That is the size of the future Kotak wants Indian companies to start building toward.

Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn. Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together. It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe. Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.

Hmmm.. getting compared to a bottom tier slogger.. this is perhaps the biggest insult to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the lowest point of his life. And I’m happy it has come so early in his career. I’m sure he’ll get over it soon, and after this, nothing negative will ever affect him again.

This must go so hard if you're retarded

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

That severance pay… is not extra money. Its school fees for a child. Its rent for the next month. Its groceries for a struggling family. Why are we taxing survival… Indian govt… please stop TAXING SEVERANCE PAY !

just came out of the theatre after watching dhurandhar 2 and the meltdown is real.

I am an intern here in Gurgaon, and I am going to show the reality of every corner of this city. They call Gurgaon a Millennium City, but this is what we see daily. Feels like no one really cares to fix it. 📍 Sector 66, Gurgaon - from IFC to M3M Cosmopolitan “Swachh Bharat” sounds good, but where is it here? Please comment and tag @DC_Gurugram @cmohry @MunCorpGurugram so this gets noticed.

Lucknow needs a visit by the Faridabad Intern.

Guys am I ruining Faridabad’s and India’s image (PR)? Were 12 years not enough to fix all the mess this city has? Will our cities ever be fixed without any criticism?

Bumrah should be handed over the trophy. Imagine SKY getting clubbed with these legends 😷

You won't get physique 3 in 10 years 😭

“Oh my God! Hi! Are you Arsh? Nice to meet you Arsh. Oh, by the way, I make 2.75 lakhs a month. My friend here? Pfft! He only makes a measly 72k a month. And you know what? We both started our careers at the same time. Isn’t that insane? Looks like this loser made some really bad choices along the way. Oh hey, I think this would make for a great X dot com post. You should definitely share it. Don’t forget to add hashtag salary in the end”

Day 7 of travelling in faridabad for my internship 🥰🥰 > Bc itna paani bina baarish ke kaise aa gya > Ballabgarh metro station > How filthy a city can get ???
