During the Bangalore floods, an area that was badly affected was Outer Ring Road i.e ground zero of tech companies. In all the footage, you'll notice a red skywalk appear again and again. There's a story behind this skywalk. And it's a metaphor for the city's urban governance.

This week, Two by Two debuts a new format: “Reverse engineering the playbook.” Why are companies like Perplexity, Google, and OpenAI racing to bundle their expensive premium subscriptions with Airtel, Jio, and Phonepe? Hosts Rohin and @peegeekay attempt to crack the math.

“Learning for a colonial child became a cerebral activity. Not an emotionally felt experience”. The power of words. The power of a great sentence. A good podcast is one where you start with one topic but end up exploring different branches. Thanks to Rohin and @peegeekay and
Datasets, not GPUs, are India's real defence. For Two by Two, we spoke with Ozonetel's Chaitanya Chokkareddy, who says India’s focus on acquiring GPUs is a flawed, capital-intensive race it cannot win. Instead, the defensible moat lies in India’s cultural and linguistic data.

I am looking for Product Designers to work with me. Before you rush to hit apply, something you should know — this isn’t your typical Product Design role. The JD itself is about 2000 words long, written as an essay. Application link within. https://t.co/9ll3wnCWsG

Perhaps one reason for India to kill real-money gaming now is not too different from what drove the British colonial government to kill 'Barsat ka Satta' in 1897, writes @peegeekay in this week's The Nutgraf.

@TheKenWeb broke the story in Jan 25 about a mystery fund wreaking havoc on India's stock market. Our story in Jun 25 pointed to Jane Street as this all-powerful hand. @SEBI_India's ban now on Jane Street is vindication. https://t.co/2Kt71i5vqQ

from hosting Leila to Chhaava, Netflix has changed, or had to change. reminds of what @peegeekay said in nutgraf few weeks back. The new television will look more old television. The new television will have to wait a little bit longer in India.

Fame gives little to no upside and instead puts you at the mercy of a crowd or an audience. The best life is lived on your own terms, of your own will, in privacy. Seek popularity for your work and obscurity for yourself.
