Great way to start the Sunday with a family run at the @IDFCFIRSTBank-@indiannavy event this morning! Don’t miss emphasis on the word ‘Naval’ in the 2nd picture! @nat_ahuja (my daughter) didn’t think just ‘Test Pilot’ was enough!🙃 Tagging @IAF_MCC (Indian Air Force) for fun!

Super proud of @QuBeatsTech and their brilliant founders @RajatSethi86 @ @mak_ichiban. Their pioneering work will provide resilient navigation in GNSS denied and/or GNSS spoofed environments. Surely the first of many recognitions to follow for QuBeats Technologies.
You’ve seen @RajatSethi86 on TV debates, but likely didn’t know about this other hat he wears. His deep-tech defence startup QuBeats has just bagged a ₹25cr Indian MoD grant to build GPS-denied quantum navigation systems for the Indian Navy! Super congrats Rajat & team! 👏🏽🇮🇳

Honoured to have been invited to speak to DU students on ‘Indian Navy as a Career Option’. My message was simple - the Navy is not just a ‘career’….it is a ‘way of life’…..it is, as advertised, ‘an ocean of opportunities’ - both for the individual as also the family!
As part of its mission to promote #Maritime awareness among students, the #IndianNavy through NHQ/DNE organised an impactful, engaging & visionary mission oriented lecture at Hindu College, Delhi University. The session, led by RAdm Surendra Ahuja (Retd), a renowned expert with vast experience in maritime affairs, offered invaluable insights into India’s rich maritime history, modern challenges at sea, the Navy’s capabilities, recent operations, and career opportunities for young minds in the Indian Navy. #MaritimeConsciousness #JoinIndianNavy #EmpoweringYouth #DelhiUniversity @SpokespersonMoD @UnivofDelhi @AhujaSurendra

Enjoyed the conversation! Do watch the video at youtu.be/1NG0oojsS5A to understand the difference between landing ashore versus aboard an aircraft carrier that is moving away from you and is rolling, pitching plus yawing - all at the same time! Now imagine all that at night!
Dive into naval aviation with Rear Admiral Surendra Ahuja. Learn about carrier landings, test-flying aircraft, formation aerobatics, and the future of unmanned aerial technology. #NavalAviation #MilitaryFlight WATCH:youtu.be/1NG0oojsS5A @gargashutosh

Enjoyed talking with Dr Hindol Sengupta of Global Order on Quad, Indo-Pacific and much more.
In this conversation Rear Admiral (retd.) Surendra Ahuja, and former navy test pilot, tells Hindol Sengupta about, •⁠ ⁠the historic expansion of the Chinese navy, •⁠ ⁠⁠the contest between the US, China and India in the Indian Ocean Region, •⁠ ⁠⁠emerging problems in the Bay of Bengal region, •⁠ ⁠⁠how India can compete with China even with lesser naval resources.

Proudly reposting my daughter’s insights from @OurWorldInData! Good stuff @nat_ahuja! Keep them coming.😊
1/ It's often believed that Indian food is 'carb-heavy' and that Indians eat more carbs than people in other parts of the world. But when we look at the data we see that calories from carbs are similar and stable across different geographies over the decades.

Recently, while exploring global population data on @OurWorldInData, I came across some eye-opening insights. A monumental shift is occurring in the world's demographics that may not be widely known. My first(!)🧵:

Boeing is proud to be associated with the Indian Navy in it’s 24x7x365 mission through the P-8I - arguably the world’s best long range maritime patrol and anti submarine warfare platform.
INAS 312 squadron operating P8I aircraft based at Arakkonam clocks 40,000 hrs as the aircraft complete a decade of diverse Naval Operations. The first P8I landed at #INSRajali on 15 May 13 with Capt H S Jhajj as the first Commanding Officer. @IN_HQENC @IndiannavyMedia

Interesting statistic here! @BharatShaktiBSI thanks for that. Boeing is proud to be supporting the Indian Navy’s 24x7 mission at sea via this phenomenal platform.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the LRMRASW ac P-8 I, in service to the nation. It is incredible that the aircraft has clocked over 44K hrs with @indiannavy. That means of the 10 yrs in svc, the ac has been in Air for 5 yrs. @nitingokhale @CaptDKS @BoeingDefense @Boeing_In

Couldn’t have been said more beautifully - ‘maestro of repair’ and ‘the man who won against himself’! I would add, ‘…..and the world’!
Grit. Skill. Jugaad. The maestro of repair (of both himself and boat) is now sailing in for the FINISH of the most important race of his life so far - the one within. Cheering him thru the airwaves. Salaam @abhilashtomy 🇮🇳🇮🇳. Congrats Urmi, Vedant, Abhraneil and all at Bayanat.

Agree. Completely. This is epic! Proud of you @abhilashtomy (&, @Urmimala_A)!
There are moments that come but rarely in history, when a person is about to achieve something so incredible, everything pales in comparison. We're almost there, folks. Show some love. 🇮🇳 Qayamat se Bayanat Tak -- The Abhilash Tomy Story kaypius.com/2023/04/27/qayam… via @realkaypius

Boeing is proud to be associated with the Navy in this. With this, India becomes one of the only four countries that have P-8 simulators. This is by far the most comprehensive training facilities of all....with more devices under one roof than any other!
Shri Giridhar Aramane, Defence Secretary, in presence of VAdm Biswajit Dasgupta, Flag Officer Commanding in Chief, #ENC and VAdm Sanjay Jasjit Singh VCNS, inaugurated the state-of-the-art P8I #simulator named ‘Ashok Roy Training Simulator Complex’ (ARTSC) at #INSRajali #Arakkonam
