At the end of the Ice Age, the sea rose 120 metres and drowned 25 million square kilometres of inhabited coast. An area larger than Europe. Nearly every culture on earth still remembers it. Episode 2 of The True Cradle. 1/41 🧵

US Secretary Rubio called India a “refining superpower” amid continued Indian imports of Russian oil, a US push to sell it more crude, and disruptions to Middle East supplies. Let’s look at India’s refining capacity and why it matters. (1/n)

#FinanceDaily @reliancejio Reliance’s journey from its modest 1977 IPO—which raised roughly $3–4 million, was oversubscribed seven times, and seeded a retail shareholder base that financed decades of expansion—illustrates long-term value creation, with early investments of $100–120 then translating into positions worth an estimated $500,000–550,000 today (ex-dividends). That foundation has scaled into Jio Platforms, one of the world’s largest digital platforms, which serves about 533 million customers, including roughly 285 million 5G users (the largest 5G base of any single-country operator outside China), around 28.6 million fixed broadband connections, and more than 60% of India’s wireless data traffic at average monthly usage of 43–44 GB per customer. The 21–23 October 2026 Jio Platforms IPO seeks to raise about $3.2 billion at a valuation of roughly $106–108 billion through a fresh issue earmarked for debt reduction, while Reliance Industries retains control and opens direct access for international investors to this half-billion-plus user connectivity and digital services platform. Complementing this digital scale, the Brownsville, Texas refinery—the first major new US refining facility in about 50 years, with construction costs of $3–4 billion and a 20-year offtake of US shale—strengthens energy security and reciprocal investment between India and the United States. Together, these milestones from capital markets and nation-scale digital infrastructure to strategic US energy partnership embody the long-term building for generations that underpins Viksit Bharat 2047. @DavidDTawil @WorldStrategist @anasalhajji @OfficialBBrooks @paul__mangione @KaufmanPulse @davevermilion @EladioSantiag14 @DuaneHope5 @GaryCardone @CarloDAngelo @JustinBrady @truthmarch2103 @PolarityRadio @ravikarkara @SpecialSitsNews @ind2047 @RajeevRC_X @monicaonairtalk @LauraLoomer @StealthIntelOps @DefiyantlyFree @SpencerGuard @elonmusk @bennyjohnson @AdarshSwaika1 @binaysrikant76 @USAmbIndia @AmbVMKwatra @RIL_Updates
