I finally did something I never thought I would: I vibe‑coded my first app. Turns out you don’t need to be a techie — just an idea and plain language. Wild to realise how accessible software has become. PS: Collage below has screenshots :) Full story: forbesindia.com/article/ai-t…

📦 Amazon is betting big on quick commerce in India, with Amazon Now becoming its fastest-growing ecommerce business and serving as a blueprint for its global expansion. ⚡ After years of watching rivals race ahead, the company is rapidly scaling its network of micro fulfilment centres, strengthening farm-to-customer sourcing, and integrating 10-minute deliveries into its wider ecommerce ecosystem, all while prioritising sustainable growth over aggressive cash burn. forbesindia.com/article/ente… By @nainithaker #Amazon #QuickCommerce #Ecommerce #Retail #AmazonNow #India #Business #Technology

If AI is making it easier than ever to start a company, why is scaling becoming even harder? Lightspeed’s Dev Khare says the startup game is being fundamentally rewritten, from how businesses are built to who survives the AI era. @lightspeedvp @dkhare 🧵by @nainithaker

Robots cracking an egg, slicing tomatoes, cooking an actual omlette, ... pretty unbelievable for 2026! The rate of progress in both hardware and software is awesome.
We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

Mounjaro’s rapid rise reflects a much larger story—India’s unmet obesity and diabetes burden, and a market opening up to new therapies. Even as generics enter, Eli Lilly says they’re not a threat, but part of the solution. by @nainithaker Read: forbesindia.com/article/news…

“…I don’t know that we’ve ever been anti ads. What we have realised is that we are pro people… We see it [ads] as a way to expand the pie; for people to be able to partake more in what’s happening and to offer a better quality of service...” says @bradlightcap of @OpenAI
