“ I will never give up, Never “
Its time to build - era of lean is over.
Too many negative vibes around India on this platform and too many questions around tourism and India .
It’s time to change the narrative , it’s time to show how incredible India truly is .
#MeraWalaIndia
They’ve shown you India in pieces.
Headlines. Noise. A story half-told.
But India is more.
So much more.
At Mony, we see another India every day —
the cafés locals swear by,
the streets you take friends to,
the moments that stay with you long after you’ve left.
So today, we’re launching #MeraWalaIndia.
A call to creators across India
to show your India —
the places you love,
the moments you’re proud of,
the India that doesn’t always make the headlines
but lives in our hearts.
Help us change the narrative.
Help the world see the India we know.
🎥 Post your reel

Because India isn’t just a destination —
it’s a feeling.

O kamle bhool na,

O gabru jhoom ja.

If visiting India this week, go Local !
🇮🇳 7 Things to Do in India This Week (Feb 2–8, 2026)
Jaipur – Jaipur Art Week (through Feb 3)
Last chance to catch Jaipur’s pop-up shows and creative crawl across the city.
Mumbai – Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (through Feb 8)
The ultimate Mumbai ‘culture walk’ with art, theatre, food and people-watching all in one loop.
Delhi NCR – Surajkund Crafts Mela (through Feb 15)
A craft lover’s paradise with handmade everything, plus snacks that justify a second lap.
Delhi – India Art Fair (Feb 5–8)
India’s biggest contemporary art week featuring galleries, collectors, talks and serious visual inspiration.
Delhi – TREESCAPES Congress (Feb 5–7)
Perfect for the climate-curious, with conversations on land, trees, farming and the future of nature.
Mumbai – Rhythm n Roots (Feb 6–8)
A lively community festival night with music, performances and that local college-fair buzz.
Kutch, Gujarat – Rann Utsav (through Feb)
For ‘wow’ photos, plan Kutch for a moonlit salt desert evening.
💡 Tip: For big culture weekends like Kala Ghoda, Art Fair or Surajkund, go early. Crowds spike after 4 PM, especially on Saturdays.
In today’s startup hustle culture, more people need to read this, And oh to be able to write like that and that last line.
Mony is developing some of the best content out there on how to truly go local & beyond the tourist traps.
India is culturally incredibly rich & diverse, but poorly documented. The work that the team is doing is making more of it visible to more people.

India has no shortage of great places. What it does have is a discoverability problem.
Some of the best cafés, shops, homestays, guides, and family-run businesses are loved by locals, but they’re often hard for visitors to find and even harder to pay at. That’s why we’re launching Mony Select.
Mony Select recognizes outstanding local merchants and experiences across India based on real traveller usage and trust, not ads or listings.
For travellers : Go local with confidence. Walk in, scan, pay.
For merchants : Visibility without compromise. No expensive hardware, no operational change.
Travellers should go where their heart takes them, not where their card limits them.
Local. Trusted. Discovered.
Today, we’re launching with hundreds of merchants across multiple Indian cities.
👇Help us expand the list:
Comment your city + one place (café/shop/homestay/guide) that deserves Mony Select.

Saw the parade floats? Now join the jam session. 🇮🇳📷
This Republic Day, dive into the beats, the laughs, the chai, the chaos—pay anywhere like a local with Mony.
No limits, just pure India.
Go where the music takes you. Go Local.

Happy #NationalTourismDay 🇮🇳✨
India is calling — from Himalayan treks to Goan beaches, street chaat to Taj sunrises. No matter where your heart takes you , we have got you covered. This year go local with Mony!
A key point here is how Dubai is enabling indian brands to expand outside. Dubai is India's largest middle class market, when you combine both indians living in Dubai and Indian tourists spending in Dubai. Indians are the largest community in India and largest % of tourists, putting total indian middle class spend in Dubai at around $50 bn., while a mumbai / delhi will clock around $15 –$25 bn in middle class spend.
People said Indians can’t build premium brands that work abroad, well here’s Rahul at Subkos flagship store at Dubai Alserkal, Superyou now sells in Dubai, 11.11 sells in New York and Brad Pitt wears it in a movie (unpaid), Nappa Dori is on the parallel street to Subko in Alserkal (ps I have nothing to do with Nappadori, just proud)
@jointhefoundery will hopefully create a few brands like this too...
Premium, artisan, COOL, Indian brands to the world ❤️ 🇮🇳
Norms are written by those who can enforce them
The Invoice of Power
For all the crying haters of U.S. power projection. You mistake American peace for a donation.
Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and by a debt of blood you never agreed to pay.
You mortgaged your future and outsourced your security. Now you project morality instead of power and call it “sovereignty.”
You cry foul when America decides the bill is due. When we choose to remove a parasite like Nicolás Maduro from the bloodstream of a hemisphere we’ve kept stable for generations. You say it’s illegitimate, unfair, and that it violates norms.
Norms are written by those who can enforce them.
You ask if we think peace is benevolent. No. Peace is transactional. The price is alignment, stability, and order. If you don’t pay it, someone else will, eventually with interest.
This is the sickness of the postwar world: a civilization feminized by safety it did not earn, mistaking feelings for force and outrage for deterrence. You boo and hiss about sovereignty while cheering mass migration, institutional decay, and the slow motion rape of the West. Your moral vocabulary is loud; your martial vocabulary is empty.
So understand this clearly: If you disagree, do something about it. Because your boos mean nothing to a nation that has seen what you applaud.
This is a mask off moment. You don’t have to respect America. Fear will suffice.
We are not cruel, merely structural. Gravity does not apologize to the weak for pulling them down. Fire does not explain itself to straw.
America is strong. You are not. That’s not personal. That is simply the way of things.
Power is the rent you pay to exist unmolested in a violent world. If you refuse to pay it, don’t be shocked when the landlord shows up.
I sometimes blackpill too hard. But lately, I’m starting to see America might not be in total decline, just hitting puberty. So yea, it’s about to get weird. But we aren’t going anywhere.
For the soft among you out there, I guess you’re just gonna have to deal.

Thank you @outofofficedaku for talking about us .
This 👆 is why we built Mony.
India shouldn’t be experienced through “card-only” bubbles.
We lets tourists go local — safely, transparently, and confidently.
No cash stress.
No awkward POS hunts.
Fewer scams.
More chai, markets, temples & hidden gems ❤️🇮🇳
At Mony, our mission is to help more tourists go local and go where your heart takes you — not your card.
There will be another round of exchange companies pushing Indians to send more money back home given recent decline against the dollar, after all India is the largest receiver of remittances globally, but the smartest strategy for NRIs is to actually not send any money back home at all . The bigger cross border opportunity is to help Indians gain exposure to dollar assets
This is modi’s gift to the congress and modi does not survive this without doing something in return, also zero chance an india Us trade deal happens now in the next few months
.@narendramodi ji,
Indians are pained by the return gifts you have received after the birthday call.
Birthday Return Gifts from your “Abki Baar, Trump Sarkar” Govt!
👉$100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas, hits Indian tech workers the hardest, 70% of H-1B visa holders are Indians.
👉50% tariff already imposed, a loss of ₹2.17 Lakh crore to India is already estimated in 10 sectors alone.
👉HIRE Act targeting Indian outsourcing.
👉Chabahar port exemption lifted, a loss to our strategic interests.
👉Even a call for the EU to impose 100% tariff on Indian goods!
👉Mr. Trump again recently claims (for the umpteen time!) that his intervention stopped the India-Pak war.
Indian National interests are Supreme. Bear Hugs, Hollow Slogans, Concerts and getting people to chant “Modi, Modi” is not Foreign Policy!
Foreign policy is about safeguarding our NATIONAL INTERESTS; keeping INDIA FIRST, and steering friendships with wisdom and balance.
It cannot be reduced to superficial bravado that risks undermining our long-term standing.
Pakistan is that startup which keeps raising massive rounds and you keep wondering what the product is or even what business they are in.
Protests in Australia, pressure on H1B in US, stagnation in Europe - the india smart professional exit valve is about to be shut. People were India’s biggest export - but also easiest to shut down, things are about to get very challenging for kids in school now
If you are feeling like you are having a tough month at work, I give you the US Embassy in India.
The partnership between the United States and India continues to reach new heights — a defining relationship of the 21st century. This month, we’re spotlighting the people, progress, and possibilities driving us forward. From innovation and entrepreneurship to defense and bilateral ties, it’s the enduring friendship between our two peoples that fuels this journey. Follow the hashtag and be a part of #USIndiaFWDforOurPeople.

Lots of debate around jobs for Americans and #H1B visas etc, raises a simple question what percentage of the US population owes its lineage to which decade of migration - because let’s face it everyone there migrated , here are the numbers. simply put 60 percent of the country landed there in last 200 years, 35 percent in last 70, 20 percent in the last 20 - draw the line as you will, but migrants are what makes the US
