Grateful for this opportunity to cover #Midterms26 for @NDTV and @NDTVWorld . From now till November 3rd, stay tuned for continuous coverage.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Nero almost brought it down in one. I spoken with @ShivaniSinghRna on @ndtv on how #JensenHuang who built a near four decade career brought it all down in four days.

I joined @ShivaniSinghRna to talk about the poor Outlook for tech. From the NVIDIA ignominy to a poor day for Microsoft, you could say tech was not going to Excel. Such a bad tech day, even live broadcasts hit the off snafu.

Aviation outage and recorded from an Amtrak for @ndtv

Surprised Nvidia comms team has kept this up and running.

Filming at sunset! @ndtv @NDTVWorld

I spoke to @ShivaniSinghRna on @ndtv on the export controls aspect pertaining to Commerce Department and the brouhaha at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veteran's Day.

#NVIDIA in the news. #Microsoft says hold my beer. Either way, it's a gloomy Outlook for tech today. apnews.com/article/microsoft…

I spoke to @VishnuNDTV on @ndtv on the genius and eccentricities of Silicon Valley pioneers - think Steve Jobs at Apple and the quintessential turtlenecks, Jensen with his leather jackets - the maverick mavens are because they're innovators. When Jobs passed away, little was known about Apple's future, but Tim Cook took Jobs' vision and built on it to make Apple the behemoth it is today. Little is known about what #Nvidia looks like beyond Jensen, but the goal is to find an innovator who can take it to the next level. #JensenHuang

The writing was on the wall. Rome wasn't built in a day, but Rome can be brought down that fast. A story that spans Silicon Valley tech, Washington's top federal agencies and the White House, Wall Street Investors, Singapore companies, Beijing's security agencies and of course, Taiwan. The Chips are falling in place, out of place, falling they are... wsj.com/business/nvidia-is-p…

What a morning to wake up to - #Nvidia and #JensenHuang resignation, and then DC active shooting. The newsroom means no rest for the weary.

Where the Chips fall! My morning live hit on the current NVIDIA story with @SehgalRahesha on @ndtv

#Midterms2026 Scott Colom wins Mississippi. First Democrat senator since 1982, state’s first African American Senator from Mississippi since the Reconstruction Era., and beats incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith who was endorsed by President Trump. Total count is now 55 senate seats for democrats, 44 for republicans, only remaining Alaska - other 99 accounted for. thehill.com/homenews/campaig…

A story that originates in Silicon Valley and spans to Washington’s most sought after address, to several federal agencies to Singapore to Beijing and Taipei. A story that truly captures global imagination and both hemispheres. Chips and Dip! wsj.com/business/nvidia-is-p…

It was a pleasure to speak with Chairman @RepKevinBrady, veteran Texas Republican, former Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and now Senior Policy Advisor at @akin_gump for @ndtv and @NDTVWorld. Rep Brady served in Congress for 26 years and chaired one of its most influential committees, overseeing taxation, trade and major economic legislation. A key Republican voice on the 2017 Trump tax reforms and now the official @b20 USA Sherpa for 2026. We touched on the #Midterms2026, Texas now with a Democrat Senator, New Republican leadership in the House, G20, US-India relations, President Trump and tariffs, and the Indian diaspora in Texas.

“In choosing Mr. Jordan, House Republicans signaled a desire for fresh leadership after their biggest election losses in decades. Mr. Jordan defeated Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who is currently the No. 2 Republican and who has been in leadership since 2014.” nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/po…

The 120th Congress will have over 100 new members in the House of Representatives, the largest freshman wave in decades including more progressives and more members of the DSA, in a clear demarcation between the moderate wing and the progressive wing of the Democrat party. youtu.be/9fhBFFuTFxk?is=8ZOj…

I weighed in on @ndtv on the latest geopolitical standoff. On the one hand, POTUS has effectively declaring victory, saying Iran's military capability has been neutralized. On the other, he says American forces remain 'locked and loaded.' POTUS is attempting to turn military dominance into diplomatic leverage. He's starting that Washington sees no immediate need for further military action, but that restraint should not be mistaken for retreat. But there is aregional dimension. Trump says neighboring countries have asked Washington to maintain the status quo. That suggests the White House is weighing the concerns of Gulf partners, in KSA and UAE. particularly the economic consequences of prolonged instability.

This has to win the internet!
