We’re hiring 3–4 high-agency people to work on real political economy problems in India and build something genuinely new.
No coasting. No performative work. Strong grasp of current affairs is *non-negotiable*. Tech fluency required. 7–15 yrs of exp.
Competitive pay. Link in bio

What does youth opportunity look like across Maharashtra—and how can it become more equitable?
With 3.16 crore young people across 36 districts, the challenge is to expand opportunity beyond state averages and address differences in jobs, education, skills and participation.
Join us today (Monday, 26th Oct) for the launch of the Maharashtra Handbook of Youth Opportunity, developed by the Future of India Foundation, followed by a panel discussion on turning evidence into action.

My cab driver repeatedly rolling down the window to spit is giving me a new kind of anxiety. When I asked him not to, his tautological response was "thookega to thookega nahi kya".

I was at a high school speech and debate competition today, and once again I was reminded that much of the world would vanish if people weren’t actively volunteering time and effort to make stuff happen.
Too much of "news" is individual centric. I understand the need for personification both from simplification and commercial aspects but the outcome is so banal and stupid. Yet there's no let up. Just unmitigated stupidity.

In a small Greek restaurant in Cambridge my journey of love began.
Rajiv and I created a world filled with love, laughter and memories. On 10th November, I share that world with you.

Living in Indian cities is a universally crap experience: pollution, noise, traffic, water logging in monsoons, zero walkability, arbitrary road obstructions and palpable lack of civic sense. There is literally no Indian city that doesnt suffer from almost all of these

I'm always struck by the petty ambitions of these individuals with huge public platforms and privilege. Forget doing something good, they run around collecting people's disrespect and disdain instead
Months after Yusuf Pathan broke away from the Trinamool Congress, the Gujarat government has proposed to hand over a long-disputed municipal plot in Vadodara to the former cricketer, gifting 500 square metres of the land and offering the rest at a concessional rate.

Excellent and emotive piece by @guptar (really one of my favourites writing on India) on the lack of decent employment opportunities in the country.

“However, despite youth unemployment being a central part of our discourse, I increasingly feel that our approach to addressing unemployment is fundamentally incorrect.” @guptar

I have had similar discussions where we wondered how many jobs and livelihoods would be lost if the systems actually became efficient.
A depressing fact about work in India is that fragmentation and low productivity are not problems but the way our country absorbs its labour.

Not sure whether the ongoing protests by political parties, students’ organisations and civil societies will culminate in the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar but the impact is already seen in the functioning of the poll body.
Changes in SSR 2027:
1. Soft copy of electoral rolls in readable format to political parties.
2. Additions, depletions and modifications lists will also be shared with political parties.
3. Soft copy of electoral rolls in readable format to be shared with contesting candidates.
4. Weekly list of claims and objections will be shared with political parties.
Though more needs to be reformed in ECI, this is a first step towards greater transparency in the making of electoral rolls.
First harass people to take out the literal two extra kilos of luggage in check-in luggage even when they have no cabin luggage. Then run around during boarding coaxing people to check-in their cabin bags. Totally daft behaviour @airindia
