Institutional drift seems so common that perhaps we should assume it's the default. Instead of taking institutions at their word when they point to their long and impressive histories, we should treat them as identical with what they've done in the past year.
@simplysud No it's not. There is no problem with wealth inequality if we are able to uplift enough people from destitute levels. If you don't cap the upsides, you will find a lot more people get more richer than they were even if they were poor.. The focus on 1% etc is useless.
For god's (and India's) sake get rich first and then talk redistribution!

Excellent talk by Prof. Devesh Kapur on Indian migrants and diaspora in the US… at the @PrincetonCGI India conference this morning. This famous graph plots migrants (size of circle represents magnitude of population), measuring education on x-axis and income on y-axis.
@Wander4_1 While the rich dont need much help, this is not free market. Opening of a school is so highly regulated and controlled by the state that schools take advantage of lack of competition. If schools were easier to open, then at that price the competition will force prices to correct.
So Indian workers must be protected inside and outside India. But the first step to doing that is to acknowledge the reality that cheap manpower is perhaps our single biggest resource. Why shy away from it? 6/n
Delighted to share that my book: "Accelerating India's Development" will release on 28 March 2024. Pre-order at: amazon.in/dp/067009594X It has been a labour of love over nearly 5 years, and synthesizes over 20 years of work. I hope you enjoy it!
Poverty reduction requires wealth creation which is rarely possibly without an increase in inequality between those who create wealth and the rest. While some love to sound an alarm over such inequality, people at large rarely resent wealth creators.
We take our plug points for granted. But electricity is such a miracle! And yet, we must reform it completely for a better future. How? @ajay_shah delivers a masterclass on the Brave New Future of Electricity in episode 40 of Everything is Everything: youtube.com/watch?v=zPY8if…

We did it :) Shoffr has closed what is perhaps India's first user-only round, raising about $1.1 million from 100+ customers who love what we're building!❤️ Any fundraise is validation for founders - but raising from paying customers is the strongest affirmation we can imagine!

Most of us underestimate what we are truly capable of. When I meet young founders, this quality is the major differentiator. A lot of them often seem borderline delusional. Makes me wonder if there's a way to strengthen our collective self belief. To multiply our ambitions?
Bioplastic pellets made from Hemp! It's crazy to think how markets function. Individuals anticipating an untapped opportunity invest their everything to take that one shot to glory. #fieldnotes
Met 2 founders today: 1. Alternative to thermocol. Uses agri waste with mushroom mycelium as binding agent. 2. Alternative to plastic. Bioplastic sheet made from Hemp. I love visiting manufacturing plants in #India. The energy is infectious and you get to see things in action!
