Gives me great joy & pride to know that this conversation with our very own Shri Romal Shetty is now turning into reality.
Welcome @DeloitteIndia to Namma Mangaluru and may this be just the beginning of a wonderful innings of growth & expansion.
May this also inspire other Tech Giants to make our #SiliconBeach their home.
Our Ooru with its immense human & natural capital and the perfect blend of #VikasBhiVirasatBhi is the perfect location for enterprises & institutions that seek to grow & build sustainably.
#BackToOoru
A warm and engaging conversation at #TiEConIXE , with CEO of Deloitte South Asia, Shri Romal Shetty.
Deloitte today employs 4.7 lakh professionals globally, with 1.2–1.4 lakh in India. Scale like this can directly shape futures back home.
Invited him to look at Mangaluru through the #BackToOoru vision and explore how global organisations like #Deloitte can come to Namma Ooru, create opportunities for Mangaloreans, and give our youth world-class exposure and employment without having to leave home.
I’m committed to bringing opportunity home, and I’m sure Mangaloreans across the world will join hands and make this happen.

What Aa day.. dream come true for a lot of us . @rohithbhat it’s already getting traction 😃

11 Years of Governance Failure.
That is why Modi is asking us to buy less gold.
That is why Modi is asking us to save fuel.
Brilliant logic.
Except it is completely wrong.
Before you repeat that narrative.
Look at what 11 years actually built.
Not as BJP Supporter.
Not as Congress Supporter.
Let us count the failures.
One by one.
In 2013.
Per capita income: Rs 74,920 a year.
Today: Rs 2,05,324 a year.
Nearly 3x.
In 2013.
4 crore homes had no electricity.
Today: 99.5% electrified.
In 2013.
23.87 crore Indians had internet.
Today: 102.8 crore.
Four times the population of USA.
Mobile subscribers today: 116 crore.
Data cost in 2014: Rs 308 per GB.
Data cost today: Rs 9.34 per GB.
97% cheaper.
UPI did not exist in 2013.
Today, 21.7 billion transactions per month.
Accepted in 12 countries.
Highways in 2013: 91,287 km.
Highways today: 1,46,560 km.
11 km per day then.
34 km per day now.
Expressways in 2013: 93 km.
Expressways today: 3,052 km.
3,180% growth.
Metro in 2013: 248 km.
Metro today: 1,013 km.
23 cities.
Airports in 2013: 74.
Airports today: 162.
Solar in 2013: 3 GW.
Solar today: 150 GW.
53 times.
Third largest on earth.
Defence exports in 2013: Rs 686 crore.
Defence exports today: Rs 23,622 crore.
34 times.
100 plus countries.
Made in India defence: 25% in 2013.
Made in India defence: 68% today.
NAViC.
BrahMos.
Semiconductor mission.
Nuclear capacity doubled.
A warship every 6 weeks.
If India was failing.
Why is energy demand exploding?
700 Mtoe in 2013.
1,213 Mtoe today.
Nearly double.
Mtoe = Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent
A failing economy does not double its energy demand.
A roaring one does.
Fossil fuels in power: 90% in 2013.
73% today.
Renewables: 12% in 2013.
50% today.
This is a civilisation in mid-flight.
Hit by a storm it did not create.
Brazil.
Turkey.
Indonesia.
All falling faster than the rupee.
Nobody writes those headlines.
Modi's speech was not weakness.
It was a war communication.
A message to OPEC: India will not beg.
Ask who benefits from the "India failed" narrative.
Ask who profits when Indians lose faith in India.
That is the real war.
Fought with words.
With headlines.
With manufactured despair.
India has survived invasions.
Colonisation.
Partition.
Sanctions.
It will survive this too.
The temporary pain is real.
Accept it.
The destination is permanent.
Believe it.
If only @BJP4India @PMOIndia @AmitShah continue to support and pursue with him instead of listening other useless leaders and support AIDMK.. lost opportunity

Never buy from @HidesignHQ . Once a great company now a scam. They push u to buy costly but low quality products. When defect found they don’t replace but insist on polishing and giving it back. Need to boycott. @Suhelseth

Spot on. I’ve been saying this for a long time. But I have no hope. A system with no accountability has no incentive to become accountable.
Recording of my speech at Nyaya Nirmaan 2025 where I argue that the legal system is now the single biggest constraint to India's socio-economic progress. India can no longer wait for reforms in this sector.

Excellent post by @profvidhu that debunks incorrect claims by @OxfamIndia…
@Oxfam @OxfamIndia needs to make sure that their claims are based on sound, well-researched evidence, else they will be seen to undermining their credibility.
The ecosystem needs to understand quickly that the days when they had intellectuals only on their side are long gone.
My latest article in The New Indian Express on the topic of Who Pays How Much GST in India. Oxfam's claim that 64.3% of the GST is paid by the poorest 50% in India has been widely circulated several times in various media outlets.
Inspired by a student's comment during a casual discussion on the Indian Economy, I investigated this assertion. After analyzing detailed NSSO Consumption data and GST rates on over 400 items consumed by Indian households, the results revealed a stark contrast. The bottom 50% actually contributes 9.6% of the Total GST in India, debunking Oxfam's figure of 64%.

It can’t get better than this
Awww, don’t fight for credit kids, both of you deserve equal credit for getting Haryana SO wrong! @sardesairajdeep and @PreetiChoudhry
