I received the following message from a colleague on an internal WhatsApp group. All three gold medallists at IIMA in the class of 2025 are from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies. Quite remarkable. Well done SSCBS. Move over IIT. Make way for the new kid on the block @IIMAhmedabad @IIMAVentures @SSCBS

किताबवाला में इस बार हमने नीति आयोग के पूर्व सलाहकार, देवाशीष से बात की. उनकी किताब, “India’s Blind Spot”के ज़रिए हमने शहरों के बनने की प्रक्रिया, गांवों को बेहतर करने की सम्भावना पर जाना. साथ ही नरेंद्र मोदी से जुड़े मीटिंग के अंदरखाने के क़िस्सों पर भी चर्चा हुई.

In 2020 someone asked me about the US election, and I told them that Joe Biden is a transition President and eventually Michelle Obama will be the Democrat Nominee in 2024. Let’s see if the second half of the speculation comes true.

Thank you for sharing about the book and your kind words Sahil! Glad you liked it.
Are they the future?
The thought was triggered by India's Blind Spot, written by @dhardevashish. A well-researched book on the past, present, and future of cities. Recommended for people interested in planning, public policy, and economics. This was my 5th book of the year.
