Very impressed with their portfolio building in healthcare, spacetech and deeptech (btw, Skyroot and Dhruva Space also were supported by this ecosystem)

T-Works is a hardware prototyping centre set up by the Telangana government. Think industrial-grade machinery, fabrication facilities, electronics labs and tools that help innovators turn ideas into physical products. An entrepreneur shouldn't need to invest crores in machinery just to test whether an idea works. T-Works helps lower that barrier. Think about what this means for someone building a medical device, an agricultural machine or an electronics product. They may have the technical expertise and a promising idea, but lack access to the equipment needed to build their first prototype. Access to infrastructure can be the difference between an idea staying on paper and becoming something tangible (thus giving VCs and investors visibility to commercial traction).

Spent some time with founders at T-Works and T-Hub last week. Left with something India needs more of - hope (not the blind optimism kind though) It also helped me answer Ashlee Vance's recent question: Why are Indian VCs so afraid to take risks and make money? 🧵

DailyObjects has convinced value driven Indians to pay INR 1000 for a phone case that otherwise could be a cheap chinese INR 150 purchase. Recently raised INR 332 Crs at INR 1050 Crs post money valuation. Here's what I think worked: 1. DailyObjects’ playbook is a bit different - lead with design and obsessed over quality and aesthetics. 2. Also, setup its own manufacturing facility instead of choosing to import from China and white label - gives more control over supply chain and quality. 3. Plus, people who are comfortable buying an INR 100,000 phone don't mind spending INR 1,000 for a premium case. FY26 net revenue of ₹210 Crs, nearly 2x its FY25 revenue of ₹111 crore. Good to see an Indian brand compete with Spigen, Rinke, Otterbox and other global brands. Congratulations @pankajgargtwt Saurav Adlakha and @daily_objects team

She bought the house because prices in Madh island are all set to increase. No one cares about the environment - all they care about is money.
Archana Puran Singh buying a massive new house just because Samay Raina promoted her YouTube channel on Latent 💀 -People think it's from decades of TV comedy but this is the real power of YouTube and heavy brand deals 😭 -She understood the business perfectly, so she literally launched a personal channel for every single son to farm that family vlogging ad revenue -No wonder they walked into the new house and immediately started planning where to put the cameras for brand shoots instead of beds lmaoo The influencer money glitch is actually insane wtff.
