300+ Indians have spent years of their lives building satellites and critical technology for this country. They deserve better than having their work and patriotism questioned by manufactured controversies.
I owe them a response. Here it is:

India lost 94,000 government schools in a decade. Enrolment down 8%. Cue the panic headlines.
We went back to the UDISE+ data.
The real story: it's not policy failure. It's fewer children. 🧵

India is an ancient civilization, a young republic, and an unfinished project.
That might be our greatest privilege.
There is still so much left to build, discover, fix, invent and imagine.
May we be worthy of that opportunity.
Happy Independence Day. 🇮🇳

How much of India's infrastructure was built after 2014?
• 100% of Dedicated Freight Corridors
• 98% of Solar Capacity
• 85% of the Expressway Network
• 79% of Tap Water Access
• 75% of Metro Rail
• 71% of Port Capacity
• 69% of Railway Electrification
• 60% of 4-Lane National Highways
Infrastructure is built over decades.
But some decades build more than others.

The map of what India can't yet build, and who's building it, is filling in fast.
Where it stands:
-5,100+ capabilities tracked
-450+ fully researched pages
1,580+ builders
-across 18 sectors.
This week alone: 180 new pages, 640+ builders, 70+ reader-flagged gaps.
A slice of the hard ones that went up this week:
• Harmonic drives (strain-wave gears)
• Silicon photonics & co-packaged optics
• Gallium production
• Industrial-grade MCUs for robotics & drones
• Real-time industrial fieldbus (EtherCAT/PROFINET)
• Aircraft-carrier arresting gear
• Next-generation marine propulsion
• Warp knitting machines
• Onboard perception for autonomous machines
• AI-driven small-molecule & peptide drug discovery
And a few of the builders climbing them:
Ati Motors · Minus Zero · Qure.ai · Cron AI · Boltzmann · Sensa Core - alongside hundreds more, from LMW to Hetero Drugs.

A historic new frontier for India’s space journey!
At 11:30 AM today, Skyroot Aerospace will undertake the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle.
This four-stage rocket is designed to provide rapid and on-demand launch services. This mission highlights the talent, determination and entrepreneurial spirit of our youth. It also shows how our space-sector reforms are unlocking new opportunities for innovation and enterprise.
My best wishes to the entire Skyroot Aerospace team for a successful launch. May Vikram-1 soar high, create history and inspire a generation of innovators.
I urge all Indians, especially my young friends, to follow this historic mission and join in wishing Team Skyroot success using #IndiaWithVikram1.
