Incumbents banning personal AI agents is an opportunity to disrupt them. Most if them were founded with that philosophy. People will use horizontal agents, as a new gateway, to buy / book stuff for them. It may be one of the main use cases. This is the time.

With mass adoption of personal AI apps such as Instinct and Muse the digital retail advertising revenue may see a drop, in a couple of years. #retailmedia

Conversations had already moved from Human to Smartphone apps and now to AI Agents. Next will be Robots and then, hopefully, back to Humans #AI

India’s GST works well, but for textile retail startups there’s a serious structural issue: 5% GST on garments 18% GST on growth spends (ads, retail commisions etc) This creates continuous accumulation of input tax credit with no refund for services (Sec 54). This is hard-earned capital locked indefinitely. Worse, this gets taxed as profit under income tax. Over time, this creates incentives to move marketing spends offshore, low growth, leading to potential loss of GST revenue and economic activity for India. Globally, VAT/GST is designed to be neutral — excess input tax is typically refundable. A small fix here can unlock massive growth capital. Kindly consider @FinMinIndia @nsitharamanoffc @GST_Council

Difference between constructive argument and debate: when in a constructive argument - put forth your point of view, but also absorb other PoV and be Ok to loose. but when in a debate - never be Ok to loose This is a constructive argument :)

My father on tarrif updates 🙏
#CommodityUpdate | आर.के. विज, प्रेसिडेंट, TAI - टेक्सटाइल इंडस्ट्री फैशन पर चलने वाली है। ऑर्डर 5-6 महीने पहले मिल जाते हैं। - 25% टैरिफ से पहले ही 30-40% यूनिट्स बंद हो चुके हैं। - इंडस्ट्री 3-4 महीने होल्ड कर सकती है। उम्मीद है तब तक हालात में सुधार होगा। - देश में कॉटन का उत्पादन बढ़ाने की जरूरत है। देश में कॉटन उत्पादन पाकिस्तान से भी कम। @Textile_In @Manisha3005 @akash_kgupta

Our govt has taken a great step to stop menaces (one of the smallest one) with their own moral compass. They should stop other menaces also basis this chart created from NCRB data and Google Gemini. The bigger ones are coming.. personal loan, FnO, stocks etc

#GST2 what about inverted GST refund? @nsitharaman ma’am so many young businesses are facing major problem because of this. Technically businesses legitimate profit (or hard earned money) is stuck due to this. Every biz that sell ‘goods’ takes ‘services’ and its their money stuck
