Cope harder!!
One in four iPhones is made in India, but imported parts and costly subsidies complicate the success story. @andymukherjee70 takes apart an iPhone to explain why copying China's manufacturing model may not pay off 🎥

कल चुनाव है और आज ये एक और वोट की पर्ची मेरे एक साथी ने मुझे भेजी ….
कल जब मैंने ऐसी ही कई वोटरों के नाम की स्लिप दिखाया तो @ceoup ने कहा की आज दोपहर तक जाँच करके अधिकारी बतायेंगे की ये कैसे हुआ लेकिन अभी तक जाँच का कोई अता पता नहीं है ।
लेकिन ऐसे नाम अब तक कई निकल कर आ गए हैं..

#WATCH | Myanmar Training camp case: Bailed-out US National Matthew Aaron Vandyke arrives at Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court to appear before the NIA court, after returning from the USA.
He was granted permission to travel to the USA to meet his family. In September 2026, the court had granted him permission to travel to the USA for a month. He was directed to return to India and to appear before the court.

And that is why I have huge respect for founders who stay in India and build companies, not just for patriotism; but because they see a problem here and have a deep urge to solve it.
I'm immensely thankful to founders of Zomato, Swiggy, Ather Energy, Paytm, Groww and thousands more who showed us that growth opportunities exist here, more so than most other countries.
These companies have generated employment for millions and have made thousands rich through ESOP buybacks, which was unimaginable a decade back!
These employees now believe in the India growth story and will lead to building thousands of more successful companies right here, in India!
The smartest Indians continue to come to build in the US for the simple reason that the economic incentives are far far better.
Perplexity ($20B), Skild ($14B+), Baseten ($13B), Together ($8B), Glean ($8B), Modal ($5B), Rubrik ($25B), Harness ($5B), Blacksmith, Parallel, Greptile, CodeRabbit, Composio, Distyl ($2B), Resolve, Luma, Cartesia, Wispr, dMatrix, Arize and many more - all started by at least one Indian-born founder.
The US is a far easier to raise capital in with far less dilution. Most Indian companies are switching where they're domiciled to get access to the US capital markets. Every single Indian venture firm is trying very hard to invest in the US or risk not participating in the AI race (ironically, the management fees of venture firms are so high in India relatively that this is the one group that net of carry actually has incentive to be in India because they take home well north of a living wage whether or not funds perform do)
While Zomato ($35B now, $8B at IPO) might be the biggest outcome in Indian venture, Cursor ($60B), Reflection (potentially $20B+), World Labs ($8B), OpenRouter ($8B), HuggingFace ($12B) and of course the $1T+ big labs quickly make those outcomes seem small and happen on a much smaller time scale, with much higher IRR.
Engineers at these startups regularly get paid $1M/yr, and make $10M+ on exit. Even in BigTech, it is trivial to pull up levels fyi and see that if you're L6/L7+ with ~10 years of experience, you're making $1M/yr there too. And of course, we all know the slew of Indian CEOs of companies here, not to mention a huge bench of lesser known executives across the board in public and private companies.
I say all this because every time there is a slight immigration hiccup in the US, I hear the online pleas to "build in India", I struggle to understand why most engineers, academics or founders would do that net of desire to be close to family, failure to obtain visa and devout patriotism.
This is not a superiority thing or a US v India thing. The economic incentives at least for technologists to being in the US outweigh India by at least an order of magnitude.
