It's been exactly a year since we started This Is Business!
When we decided to get into video, we knew we wanted to go beyond studio conversations and visit businesses to see how things worked.
Our first shoot was with @tnpanil at SuperK. We barely had a team, a plan or a script, but he gave us a chance anyway. That video crossed 50,000 views in its first week.
Since then, we've done over 25+ shoots, visited some incredible factories and labs, and met people working on things we probably wouldn't have had the chance to see otherwise.
We're still learning as we go, but I'm so proud of the team and grateful to everyone who's opened their doors to us.
And we're always looking for interesting people and businesses to meet. If you know someone building something fascinating, please send them our way!
Btw, the SuperK episode crossed 500K views this week!

Bengaluru-based startup @dognosis is training dogs to identify signs of cancer from human breath samples.
For our latest episode of @thisisbizneshq, we visited their facility to see how the dogs are trained and how the team is building its own technology, and what it would take to make this work at scale.

Can dogs actually detect cancer?
On the outskirts of Bengaluru, in what used to be a pomegranate farm, a startup called @dognosis is training dogs to detect signs of cancer from human breath samples.
We visited their facility to see how the team has built tools like SniffSpace and DogOS to train the dogs and interpret their responses.
The team also published a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, reporting over 90% sensitivity in detecting cancer from breath samples, including early-stage cases.
Huge thanks to co-founders @akadogluk and @Itamar_Bitan for showing us around!

HackerFab @iitbombay is a first-of-its-kind student-run semiconductor fab in India, built by a group of students trying to make chip fabrication more accessible and hands-on.
We went to IIT Bombay to see how they’re doing it with low-cost tools, and what semiconductor fabrication actually looks like up close. Huge thanks to @aryamman_bhatia and @Abhineet_Avhad for taking us through the process!

Is it just me, or does life in Mumbai always feel so depressing?
Everyone seems to be struggling. I spent three days in Bangalore, and somehow it never felt like people there were this unhappy.

Dario is right
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

bro in the morning where i usually get a rickshaw easily it took me 15 mins to find one to college and i ended up getting late now we’re heading to a restaurant and we’ve been trying to get a rickshaw for almost 20 mins already all this shortage of rickshaws because drivers can’t speak Marathi and were forced to either learn it or leave Mumbai 🤡🤡
why is the government imposing such rules that every Mumbaikar should speak Marathi it’s literally a threat to the city’s diversity Marathis don’t even contribute that much to Mumbai compared to these people who actually keep the city running
It’s sad to see auto drivers probably thinking of leaving Mumbai because the govt apparently wants them to speak Marathi. Like, what the hell, bro?
Can’t even walk around a city like this without feeling like every step you take is a risk to your life, & your good pair of jeans.

The AI race is changing. Companies are no longer choosing AI over people, they're choosing AI with people.

📉 Most banks reported healthy earnings, but several missed the market's expectations on key metrics like margins, loan growth and asset quality.
Turns out a good quarter wasn't good enough.

if mainstream media wasn’t already irrelevant amongst the youth, yesterday marks the day for the final nail in the coffin.

Quick commerce is racing across India, eyeing every new city.
But in Meghalaya, Blinkit hit a roadblock. The state’s tribal council refused to grant it a trading licence, arguing that rapid delivery shouldn’t come at the cost of local traders’ livelihoods.
