What a terrific game of IPL! Go RCB! JioCinema viewership numbers say 492M (49.2cr) - is it possible that 35% of India’s population were logged in as unique viewers? Seems improbable. If someone can explain this, I’d like to know. #RCBvsCSK #RCBQualified

And it's WAYYYY cheaper to LEASE an EV than a gas car Uncle Sam pays $7500 off the top for an EV lease. You can lease some cars for 18 months, like a Nissan Ariya. UNCLE SAM pays $400/mo towards your lease, you pay ~$250/mo. Insane deal for a ~$60k car. I leased an Ioniq5.

Been a long journey, but they are just getting started IMHO. Congrats Ather Energy Tarun Mehta Swapnil Jain and co, wishing you lots of growth ahead! IPO listing soon? 😉

Can see myself in a pitch: Our solution may not be a vitamin or painkiller, it’s a toothpick. Solving some irritants that may not be obvious from the outside, but needs a fix. Eventually building a Swiss knife of powerful toothpicks. Metaphor TM Sajith Pai

Now LinkedIn is trying a video scroller functionality, like reels/shorts. Beta version. Will there be a rush to become a ‘LinkedIn video influencers’? Let’s see.

#GFF2024 is way too busy for my liking this time: - mad traffic to reach venu - they shut the area with stalls, saying “its full capacity” - too crowded for meaningful chats While everyone is at GFF, less relevant if you cannot find value for yourself Back to work today.
