What’s stopping India’s billionaire business tycoons from building products like ChatGPT, AWS and Azure?
We have the money, talent and market. So, what’s missing?

The product is named Temple.
This isnt marketing.
its a plan to fool Indians, just like that famous person is doing.😂
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 😘🤗

IAS Officer: Do you have an appointment? Come back later.
Taxpayer: You are a public servant not a private employee. Serving the people who pay your salary is your duty not a favour.

US middle-class flex: 1+ acre , 2200 sq ft build up area, front + back yard, garage, extra parking, gym and actual seating area.
Bought for $440,000 (3.7 crore INR) three years ago.
Same money in Delhi NCR: a matchbox size apartment where you can high-five your neighbor through the wall, air that tastes like regret, water with extra minerals you didnt ask for, roads that lost a war, eternal traffic, zero greenery, trash that comes with the view and security that exists mostly on paper.
But at least the society group is active. 🥴
It blows my mind how easy it is for people in the US and Canada to own properties in the countryside.
People whom I saw struggling for a decent living in India shift to these countries, and I see them with the latest phones, a Camry, and an amazing villa in a green area within just a few years.
In India, people keep paying EMIs amounting to half their salaries for the rest of their lives just to own a 1,100 sq ft apartment in a dysfunctional city with poor infrastructure and polluted air.
This makes me realise how stupid and pointless our whole hustle is in India. Just relax and count days man.

'वोटर लिस्ट से एक करोड़ से अधिक हिंदू वोटरों के नाम गायब', CM योगी का बड़ा दावा
CM योगी ने दावा किया है कि उत्तर प्रदेश की मतदाता सूची से एक करोड़ से ज्यादा हिंदू मतदाताओं के नाम गायब हैं. उन्होंने कहा कि करीब 66 लाख लोगों के नाम पंचायत मतदाता सूची में हैं, लेकिन विधानसभा की सूची में नहीं हैं. करीब 55 लाख सरकारी योजनाओं के लाभार्थियों के नाम भी वोटर लिस्ट में नहीं हैं.

I was the first person to seek the registration of an FIR regarding the crores of rupees that went up in flames at the residence of Justice Verma.
Later, I heard from important sources that the money belonged to Justice Chandrachud. Gradually, talk spread among the members of the Bar, and now it has spread like wildfire—at least in Delhi. Everyone is saying that it was Justice Chandrachud’s money, with some claiming it was ₹700 crore. There is another rumor about ₹500 crore or a similar amount recovered from the farmhouse of a female Delhi High Court judge.
These are rumors, but there cannot be smoke without fire. That is why I moved the Supreme Court for the fourth time. If Justice Verma is innocent—and many sympathize with him in Delhi, believing that although he may be corrupt, the burned money was not his but Justice Chandrachud’s—these rumors and issues still need to be addressed.
When I mentioned the matter, the Chief Justice switched off the audio and video, so no one knew what was said or transacted in court. Judges face great difficulty in such matters. For a Chief Justice, Justice Verma’s case poses a dilemma due to a sense of collegiality—or a trade-union-like mentality among judges. They tend to protect one another.
Look at the damage this causes: today, people say the safest place to keep money is a judge’s residence. There are so many allegations against judges today that people consider the political executive less corrupt by comparison. While there are no allegations against the Prime Minister, many allegations persist against the government regarding various industrial groups.
Whose failure is this? It is the failure of the press and the failure of the Bar. As the Bar, we have failed to rise to the occasion. The so-called elite and eminent lawyers in the Supreme Court are hypocrites and sycophants—self-serving individuals who care for no one else.
Common people must step forward to raise these issues. Lawyers can utilize social media for this purpose. I am not asking anyone to take to the streets—that is dangerous, and lawyers should never do so—but we must address these matters.

Hotmail बनाने वाले सबीर भाटिया अब अडानी एंटरप्राइजेज के मानहानि केस का सामना कर रहे हैं। मामला प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी और गौतम अडानी के संबंधों पर बनी एक डॉक्यूमेंट्री को शेयर करने से जुड़ा है।
इस डॉक्यूमेंट्री में उनके संबंधों, कारोबारी सौदों और एक शक्तिशाली कारोबारी को कथित फायदा पहुँचाने पर सवाल उठाए गए हैं। वहीं, अडानी एंटरप्राइजेज का कहना है कि यह सामग्री झूठी है और उसकी छवि को नुकसान पहुँचाती है।
कलकत्ता हाई कोर्ट ने 26 अक्टूबर 2026 को डॉक्यूमेंट्री को आगे शेयर या प्रकाशित करने पर रोक लगा दी, जब तक अगला आदेश न आए।
लेकिन बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या लोकतंत्र में ताकतवर नेताओं और कारोबारियों पर सवाल उठाना इतना मुश्किल होना चाहिए?
अगर आरोप गलत हैं, तो उनका जवाब तथ्यों और सबूतों से दिया जाना चाहिए। लेकिन सरकार और बड़े कारोबारियों के फैसलों पर सवाल उठाना भी जनता का अधिकार है।
मजबूत लोकतंत्र में न कोई नेता कानून से ऊपर होना चाहिए, न कोई कारोबारी सवालों से। मानहानि से सुरक्षा जरूरी है, लेकिन अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी भी उतनी ही जरूरी है।@sabeer

In the festive season, lakhs of people from Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Faridabad were planning to come to Delhi and do the the shopping for Diwali.
Many BSIV car owners will now avoid Delhi markets as Delhi government is banning entry of such cars.
Massive loss to the businessmen of Delhi.
