🧵Yesterday’s announcement of a 1 GW #DataCentre in Vizag was widely reported in the press. The announcement in itself was stunning for the sheer scale (largest single FDI till date as reported in some media) and was of particular interest to us in #SiliconBeachofIndia as we are working to position this region as a Data Centre hub.

I just got stopped by these 2 vehicles because I questioned them for having used sirens to get their right of way through traffic in a busy road near Lingarajapuram flyover?
What is this VIP treatment for? When will these politicians understand that we Citizens voted them to power? @dpkBopanna @ndtv @nikhilchinapa @ShivAroor

🚨 The Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru Vande Bharat train has recorded the highest passenger occupancy at 189.35%.
Featuring the first episode of “5 to 9” as it dives straight into Mangaluru’s equestrian circle and what life actually looks like when the laptops close and people head to the stables. 🐎
Give it a watch, share it around with folks who need to see what life back home feels like, and drop a comment on who we should feature next! ❤️

Milk prices hiked. Bus fares next
People are angry over rising costs under Congress in Karnataka
Meanwhile, language politics and fresh controversies dominate headlines
Now, an anti SIR protest is scheduled for November 5, just a day after the bus fare hike on November 4
When governance fails, create distractions 💯
Classic Karnataka Congress tactics🤡
BIG PROTEST PLANNED IN BENGALURU ON NOVEMBER 5!

Mohandas Pai is from Seshadripuram in Bangalore,he was born here, grew up, studied and worked in Bangalore all his life. He's created multiple jobs, invested in the economy and has contributed more to Karnataka than anyone else. To turn on him like this...is just unpardonable
@CMofKarnataka avare You are our CM. Please decide if you are ruling our state or these vigilantes are running the state @DKShivakumar @PriyankKharge @lkatheeq @rk_misra @kiranshaw @republic @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @DeccanHerald @BPACofficial @BCLIPAlumni @CPBlr @DgpKarnataka

Mangaluru just secured one of the biggest tech commitments in its history.
Scaling to 2,500+ by 2027.
Nearly tripling an entire workforce. Right here in Mangaluru
NTT DATA has officially committed to scaling its Mangaluru presence from 900 professionals today to over 2,500. What began locally with Niveus Solutions is transforming into a massive global powerhouse, one of the largest enterprise tech operations this region has ever seen.
This goes far beyond conventional IT support, bringing specialized, high-value engineering to the coast and tapping into the world-class talent our region's premier institutions cultivate.
As global enterprises and GCCs look for the next major tech hub, Mangaluru is answering the call.
This is Karnataka’s Beyond Bengaluru vision in full motion: bringing high-value enterprise opportunities directly to where talent lives, backed by dedicated single-window facilitation, top-tier office infrastructure, and sustainable data centers.
As Hon’ble Minister Shri Priyank M Kharge put it: “Karnataka’s next chapter of growth is being written beyond Bengaluru, and Mangaluru is leading that story.”
A massive congratulations to NTT DATA. We are proud to see you anchor your global growth on our coast.
A defining new chapter in the Silicon Beach story has just begun.

I was not the compulsive firecracker bursting type of a person for #Deepawali, but I am SO sick and tired of courts, zombie politicians and every woke libtard and their grandmother lecturing only to Hindus on how to celebrate our festivals, that I have started buying crackers not just for myself, but for children from a nearby basti. Where is this fake outrage against pollution when the rich and the famous use fuel guzzling SUVs? If you agree, RT this tweet.

Capitalism at its best. The next goal for India is to move 500 million into the middle class.
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

No one can take this milestone awy from us.
Now, lets never slip into this ever.

POV: You thought Mangalore was just beaches. 🌊🤭
Plot twist: it's sunsets, street food, culture, hidden gems, and main-character moments all rolled into one.
There’s much more to sea. ✨👀

Young startup founders in India getting disappointed by VCs / Investors.. who don't show up for meetings, don't respond to emails or chats, reject the pitches, or simply pass on your startup?
Wait till you meet Investors who go back on their word, fish info for their investments, do not honour commitments, withdraw termsheets, vanish before signing SHAs, have cold feet on executed agreements, and so on.
Stop crying foul about it, and move ahead with building your business. It's all part of the game you signed up for.
Founders have to win despite all of this, and they do win!

@shylajarao, Founding General Partner, @Ventanaventure, features in this edition of Fund in Focus, sharing how the fund backs early-stage gaming and interactive media businesses, with a focus on founders building original intellectual property (IP) and offerings that can reach audiences beyond India.
Ventana’s investment approach centres on the strength of a company’s intellectual property (IP), community or data, and the team’s ability to build products that keep users coming back. Drawing on its operating experience in gaming, the fund works closely with founders on monetisation, distribution, governance, and preparing for future funding rounds.
The feature also explores the role of secondary sales in creating liquidity for early-stage investors, alongside emerging opportunities in Indian gaming infrastructure, AI-driven experiences, sports technology, and interactive entertainment for children. These areas offer new avenues for investment as India’s gaming and interactive media ecosystem develops.
