The old belief that progress depends on collaboration is being replaced by self-preservation. The feeling that essential infra must be owned & operated domestically, is fueled by nationalism and populism. My op-ed in @livemint today makes a case for India building from within.

Air-India’s app at 10:40 PM has not announced boarding for a 10:45 PM flight AI 2986 BOM-DEL at 10:40 PM. Now an hour later boarding done & ready for takeoff Captain announces that the tow-tractor🚜handling pushback has broken down! @airindia truly finds new ways to delight!!

@airindia @DGCAIndia @TataCompanies @RamMNK @MoCA_GoI Now Captain announces that one runway has been closed by Delhi ATC! @airindia AI 2999 awaits fresh runway to be assigned. Wait continues interminably. Weather is all clear by the way. @DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI @RamMNK @DelhiAirport

Mayhem at Delhi airport as bad weather has messed up flight schedules. @airindia randomly cancelling flights with zero intimation. Just got to hang in there with hope and @X for company.

The more people like my friend @sardesairajdeep try to separate the act (Islamic terror) from the source (an uncontrolled radicalization of Islam), the more we will have incidents like these. Calling out good Samaritans seems like the right thing to do (and is immensely

One hopes the fog descended upon Delhi this morning doesn’t cloud out the pollution woes; just as the T20 & ODI wins vs South Africa don’t fog out our test white washes. #fog #DelhiPollution #TestWhitewash

Getting messy in Kolkata! #SundayFunde

The arrogance of an elected representative in full display. You don't need to understand Kannada to get the tone and tenor of DKS "talking down" to citizens. Disgusting!!! Clip courtesy: @ChristinMP_

A privilege to address the Indian Institute of Internal Auditors, Delhi Chapter & Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) on how Boards see fraud in the context of corporate governance & reputation. #AI & tech are helping the move from fraud detection to fraud prevention.

Brilliant performances in Urban Suburban Productions’ staging of Ayn Rand’s “Night of January 16th” in Gurgaon! The beautiful setting of the Museo Camera added to the gripping nature of the play with the jury picked from the audience.

Much of the success of the $5 billion Qcom market in India is driven by the cheap availability of labour (delivery boys). With 6 players -many with deep pockets -some consolidation & shakeout is due. My take in this article by Udisha Srivasatav in Business Standard. @letsblinkit

Indigo’s reputation has taken a huge hit with the recent crisis. Dilip Cherian, Mark D Martin, Hemant Misra and I weigh in on the #IndiGoCrisis in this @financialexpres article by Geetika Srivastava.

Clearly peak #IPO season is back! It took forever to get to the front page of today’s @EconomicTimes with 3 full page ads of the Nephroplus, Wakefit & @park_hospitals IPOs. Health is in! And @AdfactorsPR has more advertising in today papers than the top 10 media networks

Find out how is SG leading Southeast Asia’s energy transition through increased renewable financing and project development, production as well as distribution.

Indigo has 5085 pilots for a ~65% market share. Air India has 6350 pilots for ~25% market share. Is there something serious here? #IndiGoCrisis

Gurgaon liquor shop names are getting innovative. From “Angrezi sharab ki dukaan” to Daily Dose! 🙄

Terrific session at the #HTLS2025 with cricketer Deepti Sharma and India coach Amol Mazumdar brilliantly anchored by Sharda Ugra. Amol’s coaching wisdom needs a bigger “field”, possibly a team that needs help?😉@BCCI are you listening?

Remarkable (& characteristic) candour by @OmarAbdullah in his chat with @sunetrac | He’s India’s most honest politician by a mile. Some (headline worthy) bites: • INDIA Alliance on life-support • “We” (INDIA Alliance) pushed out Nitish Kumar. I was in the meeting when it

In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.

Hugh Grant, an absolute delight in this fascinating discussion with Rahul Khanna! Brilliant wit, delectable humour and priceless anecdotes. Rahul K made the conversation come alive. #HTLS2025 Saw many of the ladies in the front rows drool!
