Air India was undermined deliberately and then privatised. Result - India's aviation sector is now in the hands of 2 private monopolies. When safety norms were introduced, Indigo created a crisis to force govt to change the norms; Tata's Air india used the crisis to hike prices.

Imagine the plight of the IndiGo staff, who have to face a rightfully angry set of passengers for the screw up caused by the senior level management.

Those who spent years clamouring for Air India to be privatised and finally made it happen, preaching that privatisation was the only path to efficiency, are today crying about the massive airline mismanagement. Irony dies daily in a capitalist society.

Instead of rehabilitation, what India saw with Jet was a succession of dodgy bidders; great value destruction; and outcomes like what is unfolding right now across Indian airports -- a monopoly blaming mass cancellation on a minor shortfall of staff to bag State concessions.

In this brilliant piece @ssmumbai explains that the IndiGo flight cancellations are a failure of market design and regulatory oversight. A disruption of this scale, affecting an airline that carries 6 out of every 10 travellers, is not just about passenger inconvenience. It

The great fall. On December 4, 2024: Rahul Mamkootathil sworn in as MLA. On December 4, 2025: Congress expels him from party.

If the shoe was on the other foot, and it was an Indian ad, it would have been badla, revenge, jawab denge type crap all over again! Refreshing!

Jemimah Rodrigues just taught work-life balance better than Indian LinkedIn techbros. Of course they are losing their calm.

So so stoked for Asha Sobhana. From winning the title with RCB two seasons ago and then making her India debut to now commanding 1.10 crore in the #WPLAuction, nearly two decades of hard work will now not go unseen thanks to the league. "I was in the domestic circuit for

Sweetest news I heard today. Brisbane Heat has announced that Jemimah Rodrigues will miss the remaining Big Bash league season in Australia as she has decided to stay back in India to support her friend and teammate Smriti Mandhana.

In April 2024, ahead of Lok Sabha polls, Tata Group donated Rs 758 crore to the BJP. Weeks before, in February, the Modi govt approved three semiconductor units-two of them by Tata. Report by @sighyush, which points out a pattern. https://t.co/yuisEeJAd2
