To the Point | This piece examines the moral economy that underpins platform capitalism, where founders are cast as benevolent agents of progress while workers are denied recognition as well as basic rights.

From Platforms to Protocol
Wrote for @PCC_Global on Bengaluru’s tech shifts—how local, alternative models could challenge global platforms to build a more inclusive tech ecosystem.
But to what extent? Yet to be seen!👀

The 𝕏 algorithm assumes that if you interact with content, you want to see more of that content.
One of the strongest signals is if you forward 𝕏 posts to friends, it assumes you like that content a lot, because it takes effort to forward.
Unfortunately, if the actual reason you forwarded the content to friends was because you were outraged by it, we are currently not smart enough to realize that.
🚨Exciting News🚨
Think20 (@T20org) published a policy brief contributed by me (@GVAGrad) and @PrakashGupta28 (@OMIFoundation) on regulating #AlgorithmicManagement practices in #DigitalPlatforms

🗨️ All technology reflects the society that produces it, including its power structures and prejudices. This is true all the way down to the level of the algorithm.

Uber joining @ONDC_Official can be a game changer! From platforms to protocol… curious to see how would the model span out!

It was an honor to speak with @NandanNilekani about India’s progress on building digital public infrastructure. The scale of the work being done and its impact is stunning. I’m excited to see how @Uber can step up its collaboration with the ‘India Stack’
