This is not an ad for @Meta. Facebook didn’t pay me to share this. But I’m sharing it anyway, because I think it matters. If you agree, pass it on.

Imagine New Delhi becoming home to the world’s largest museum display area?
Think scale. Think culture.
That is the vision behind the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum!
Today’s Cabinet decision will give impetus to transform historic North and South Block buildings into a magnificent celebration of Bharat’s civilisational journey.
From ancient knowledge systems, mathematics and astronomy to architecture, art, languages and spirituality, the museum will bring thousands of years of our heritage to life through immersive experiences and world-class galleries.
Buildings that have been centres of governance will now become a place where millions can discover, experience and celebrate the timeless richness of our civilisation.
A historic new chapter for India’s cultural heritage!

A very happy Deepawali to you all.
May this festival of lights bring prosperity in your life and keep you in the best of health.

Sunil Mittal's resilience in building a 10 lakh crore company, adding significant market value, and establishing a strong business, with foresight in satellite communications by launching OneWeb.
Sunil Bharti Mittal recounts the telecom shakeout of 2016, when billions of dollars in investments were wiped out and companies disappeared. He tells @FLacqua how he doubled down, acquired assets and raised $18 billion in 34 months, betting that surviving the storm would make Bharti Airtel stronger than ever bloom.bg/3VK36KK

Indian founders and start up fellas are excellent at congratulating each other when there is a good news of funding, launch or what not.
But Terrible at standing next to each other.
Asking Temple for data = fair.
Calling a founder a fraud, scamster and trolling, that’s not cool.
You can defend the person without defending the product. Most didn't.
Indian startups have a lot of fans. Very few friends.
Dear Concerned Indian Doctors,
I see your rage against Temple on X. I have a few points
to make:
1. First and foremost, a business lesson: if Temple were a scam, and any of what we said weren't true, people would know it in just a few days of using Temple. We have 14-day, no-questions-asked returns (which even Apple doesn't offer in India). If the product doesn't work, it fails out of the gate and the company dies before recovering a tenth of its R&D.
2. We have already spent $30m building Temple, $20m out of which is my own money. Selling a few thousand devices recovers a small fraction of this investment. A scam that pays nothing is not a scam anyone would run.
3. I left the Eternal CEO role to chase purpose with Temple. This is not about money. I have enough of it to last for generations. My incentives are fully aligned with getting the science right. I am not staking a reputation earned over 20 years on making a quick buck.
4. Our employees bought into our round a few months ago. The round we're raising now is mostly our customers. Scams don't build that cap table.
5. Most wearable companies start with internal studies. Whoop shipped its band in 2015, and the first published validation followed a few years later. We hold ourselves to a higher standard; pre-prints are a step prior to peer reviewed publications, and they are coming up.
6. At some point you have to stick your neck out and say: we believe in our science, and the product is now valuable enough for people to pay for and use. We believe we are there. More validation continues in public.
7. We are confident that we are building something that the world is going to be positively astonished with. We stand by our science and our methods. Each of our claims is easily verifiable by individuals and institutions alike, and you will see a lot of independent studies come up on their own when the device becomes available to use.
Last but not the least, the most ground breaking features in Temple are not even public yet. And some of them, thankfully, have nothing to do with doctors 🤭
Hope this addresses some or all of your concerns. If not, keep raging 😘🤗
Delivering groceries is one. But ambulance? That’s a whole new level. With the success, I am now very positive about the project. Best wishes, team Blinkit. I hope to see you across India very soon. Especially in rural India.
Way to go. I must confess I was a bit sceptical in the Board meeting when the idea of an Ambulance service was proposed. How on earth would we ensure arrival in ten mins. Initially in the pilot period there were one or two ambulances servicing Gurgaon only. I disregarded it as a small side activity. And then before I knew it the service had expanded to cover all of Delhi NCR. And I began to get messages from all sorts of people about how good the service was and how it was a life saver. When the tragedy at Satya Niketan happened and I saw all the reels praising Blinkit I called Albinder and asked how many Ambulances were deployed to cover all of Delhi. He told me 67 - at any point of time there are that many ambulances active on the streets of Delhi. And after Satya Niketan I have begun to get calls from people all over India requesting for the service to be started in their city including from Members of Parliament @deepigoyal @albinder @letsblinkit @zomato @blinkitcares

Also, just to be clear because I am seeing a lot of "give me clinical evidence". Temple is a fitness tracker, and wellness device. We are not a medical device. If at some point, we clinically validate any of our metrics, we will let you know.
