Had a great evening at tonight’s @MagicEden & @portalsFDN event during @Breakpoint2025 in Abu Dhabi. The venue TIKI Pacifico was great, view spectacular, food amazing, the drinks 🍹flowing. Even caught a cool drone show in between the laughter w/ new friends. IYKYK.

Mahatma Gandhi's name to be removed from rural employment guarantee scheme, states to be forced to bear a higher share of the cost, and benefits to be increased. One more unfunded mandate on the states. Increasingly the Union government has focused on centralisation of all

Jugaad and power are a mix that has 'managed' a lot of public problems without letting them get out of hand. But eventually we discover that there are limits to those. Some of the images from the capital aren't very different what we'd get from fire-smoke.

Why are some regions in a state so weak in economic terms compared to the richer places? The gaps are huge. In KA, the 'magnet' quotient of Bengaluru is so high that the next biggest city is only 1/15th the size of the capital. This should not be, considering that the state

Today we announced positive Phase 1b/2 results from our ongoing TUPELO trial evaluating REC-4881 in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) – a rare, inherited disease with no approved pharmacologic treatments. Treatment with REC-4881 demonstrated rapid and durable

Supreme Court judges regularly affirm that 'bail is the default' but if @Wangchuk66's wife files a habeas corpus petition months after arrest, the court gives a hearing date after yet another month. Walk the talk?

I read somewhere that K-DEM also has a focus on agri-tech among other things. Perhaps there is a way for multiple schemes of national and state government to promote some goals TOGETHER. They can be brought together by DCs and ZP CEOs in a few places who are usually aware of

BRMCL should extend the Pink Line to connect to NICE Road junction. The Yellow and Green lines to the east and west of Pink already do that. So does the Purple Line. While developing large mobility infrastructure, it is important to connect it to transit points where people can

What will it take to change the clear differences on this map of multidimensional poverty in the state?

Meet the Redwood Battery Bin: a patented system designed to safely collect mixed batteries and devices at scale, with remote monitoring and fire safety at the core. With automated sensing and real-time telemetry, it unlocks the critical minerals sitting in America’s junk drawers

We're used to watching national and state polls, but around the country there are a number of local elections also ongoing which the people in those places are using to send messages to parties. Here are four that are interesting... (a) In Kerala, the opposition won more local

STATE OF THE CITY - December 2025 - ROADS This is part 2 in the series after the earlier post on Housing. These are based on notes I made to myself about the overall state of things in the city in each topic. There are 15 topics I've identified so far, and I'll try and compile

Large floral-style cutouts of political leaders across the city are a gauntlet flung before the municipal administration - take this down if you dare. The fact that they're up for days is the response.

From this week's Economist - "making megacities more livable can start with changes to governance, not with huge investments. Overhauling power structures is harder than splurging on big projects. But the potential payoffs are mega."

When KWIN, SWIFT City, Aerospace Park, NPKL, Shivarama Karanth Layout, the new airport and the layouts around PRR are all developed, the metropolitan Bengaluru region will have a population of 25 million, and there will be 65 MLAs from the region in the Assembly. And if that

Nearly 80% of Bihar's budget comes from other states and the Centre. Numbers for other states too are high. For this kind of dependency, there should be targets for development.
