I did not know much about Piyush Pandey when he was alive, but now I have read a bunch about him. What an absolute legend he was, and it's heartwarming to see such amazing tributes to him. The number of legendary ads he created is mind-blowing.

Microsoft’s OpenAI bet might go down as the best VC investment ever made. Microsoft invested ~$13B in OpenAI. After yesterday’s restructuring, OpenAI is valued at $500B — and Microsoft owns ~27%, worth about $135B. That is a gain of $120B+ already in 5 years. On top of that,

ChatGPT Go is now available for free to Indians for the next 12 months! Looks like AI usage is going to be free for sometime for users given the competitive intensity in the sector.

The padel community in Mumbai seems like the most active sports community I have been part of. I needed to find a player yesterday, posted on the group, and literally got 5 people to reach out within 1 minute! Have not seen this kind of uptick for anything in any group ever.

I booked a SpiceJet flight after years, as I had had bad experiences with them regarding flight cancellations. Even while I was booking, I was concerned, and they ultimately canceled that flight after a few days! How is this airline still operating? With this level of
