According to World Bank's latest report, India's extreme poverty has fallen from 27.6% to just under 2.6%.
And for Indians living under Rs. 400 a day (lower middle income), it has come down from 57.7% of the population to 16.1%.
Remarkable achievement by India given the rupee depreciated and the inflationary pressure of a fast growing economy.

18 years ago, I helped pioneer Indiaās drone revolution as a founding member of ideaForge.
After years spent working with our armed forces along the Pakistan and Bangladesh borders, and with paramilitary forces in the jungles of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, Iām on a mission to build Indiaās defence against the very drones I once helped build.
At @ArmoryShield, we build counter-drone and electronic warfare systems in India, end to end: RF front ends, electronics, firmware, software and AI models. Designed, developed and manufactured in-house, on our own IP.
Grateful to early believers like @antlerindia, @growxventures, @dexterangels, @industrial47, AC ventures and our angels.
Sovereign Defence. Nothing less.

The photo shows the original 18th century Maratha cavalry "bhala" that was often 12 feet long. Made from hollow bamboo, they were light enough for one hand and flexible enough not shatter on contact. This is what made them deadly. Tactical use: A small squadron of Maratha horsemen would ride rapidly toward the enemy line, brandishing their ultra-long bhalas. They would deliberately stir up massive clouds of dust to obscure their true numbers.Just as they drew close to the enemy's musket fire range, the Marathas would abruptly turn their horses and flee in apparent panic and disorder. Seeing the enemy run, opposing commanders or overeager cavalry would often break their disciplined formation to give chase. The moment the enemy line fractured, the Marathas would instantly wheel their highly agile horses around and counter-attack. The British eventually developed packed musket formations (such as squares) to beat cavalry. This was then used against Napoleon at Waterloo by Wellington
State Elephant, Benares (Varanasi). Photograph circa 1880s.The Maharajas of Benares (known as the Kashi Naresh) maintained a lavish royal household and fleet of state elephants used for ceremonial processions, durbars, and festivals.
State elephants were draped in heavy, gold-embroidered silk, brocade cloths, and jewelled body paint. They carried ornate metal or silver howdahs (riding seats) where the Maharaja or high officials sat.
The elephant was guided by a mahout (elephant controller), whose official uniform often reflected his status within the royal cavalry or household staff.
A prominent context for these elephants was the grand annual inauguration of the Ramnagar Ramlila. Started in the mid-19th century by Maharaja Udit Narayan Singh, the Kashi Naresh traditionally led the opening pageantry of the 31-day folk-theatre cycle riding atop a ceremonial state elephant. #Varanasi #royalty #elephant #history

šØAther's market cap now 3.5 times Ola's, share price delivers nearly 5x returns
The two Bengaluru-based companies were once seen as direct rivals in India's electric two-wheeler market. However, their performance has diverged sharply over the past two years.
Soon after listing in August 2024, Ola Electric's market capitalisation hit Rs 64,000 crore before dropping to Rs 16,000 crore in October this year. Even from the IPO price, Ola's share price is down by over 50 percent.

#Aurora 2026: Indiaās National AI Forum to Bring Industry Leaders Together to Explore How AI Is Reshaping Business and Technology
Quantum Tiger-supported virtual forum takes place on October 30, bringing together perspectives across industry, engineering, banking, education and enterprise AI.
India, October 29, 2026: As artificial intelligence moves beyond experimentation and increasingly shapes how organisations operate, innovate and compete, Aurora 2026, Indiaās National AI Forum, will bring together industry professionals, technology leaders, educators, entrepreneurs and practitioners on October 30, 2026, for a cross-industry conversation on the opportunities and challenges emerging from the AI transformation.
Supported by Quantum Tiger, Aurora will take place virtually from 2:30 PM to 6:15 PM IST. The forum aims to move the conversation beyond AIās technical capabilities to examine its real-world implications for industries, businesses, institutions and Indiaās wider economic future.
The central idea behind Aurora is straightforward: Indiaās AI opportunity is not limited to adopting technologies developed elsewhere. It also lies in building the infrastructure, applications, talent and ideas required to shape its own intelligence economy.
Across sectors, AI is influencing product development, financial services, engineering workflows, workforce capabilities, customer engagement and organisational decision-making. Yet adoption brings important questions around implementation, skills, productivity, trust, infrastructure and the ability to translate technological advances into measurable outcomes. Aurora seeks to bring these questions into a practical, industry-led discussion.
The forum will feature perspectives from professionals working across different domains, exploring how AI is changing their industries, where the most significant opportunities are emerging, what challenges organisations face, and how leaders should prepare for the next phase of technological change.
Among the perspectives represented at Aurora are engineering capability development, semiconductor development, banking and startup ecosystems, education, and the application of AI to business and institutional transformation. The programme is designed to connect these distinct experiences and encourage a broader understanding of AIās impact across the economy.
āIndiaās AI conversation needs to move beyond experimentation and demonstrations towards building meaningful capabilities, products and outcomes. We need to understand not only what AI can do, but also how it changes the way industries work, how people build skills, and how organisations create value. Aurora is intended to bring these perspectives together and encourage a more grounded conversation about the opportunities ahead,ā said @bladeit , Founder and CEO of Quantum Tiger.
Aurora reflects Quantum Tigerās broader focus on making AI practical and accessible, while advancing the conversation around sovereign AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption and the development of technology capabilities relevant to Indian businesses and institutions.
The forum will feature individual speaker sessions followed by Q&A segments, with a panel discussion bringing together perspectives from across the programme. The emphasis will be on practical experiences, emerging opportunities, implementation challenges and the questions industry leaders must confront as AI becomes increasingly embedded in their work.
Aurora 2026 is intended for entrepreneurs, CXOs, enterprise leaders, researchers, educators, students and practitioners interested in understanding the implications of AI beyond the technology itself.
The event is supported by presenting partners AVNi, Bharat Whytec, APEG & Revopsly.

Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.
Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it.
The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.
Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which weāre pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
Weāre seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and weāve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, weāre going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

Being the LoP @RahulGandhi, I suggest you refrain from politicising every issue. Also, casually labelling commercial and legal matters as criminal is unacceptable.
You have repeatedly decried the successes of Indian industry & our entrepreneurs. Now, are you trying to incite our business leaders to join you in spreading distrust & toxicity?
For decades, your party had smothered the spirit of the Indian entrepreneurs under the stifling āLicence-Quota Rajā & inflicted poverty on crores of Indians.
On the other hand, our government led by PM @narendramodi values the Indian industry as job creators & drivers of economic growth. Our policies have been tailored to enable enterprise, support industry and encourage investment.
Political parties, leaders, governments and institutions share an equal responsibility to support our industry, strengthen our farmers and secure the future of our youth.
Therefore, it is essential to engage constructively rather than casting baseless aspersions to suit your narrow political motives.
The Constitution of India ensures justice to all its citizens & our Honourable Courts are entrusted with upholding it. History is witness to the shoddy manner in which you, your party and the PMs belonging to your party have demeaned the judiciary.
So Rahul ji, refrain from seeing ghosts everywhere.
