When India opened its doors to foreign universities, the promise was delivering global education on domestic soil πŸ§‘β€πŸ«πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“ But early enrolment reveals a reality check – student uptake has been slow, marked by sharp variations across institutions. Why? πŸ“š πŸ“š #NEP #foreigneducation – at Rho, Lombardia

For years, the Big 4 (USA, UK, Canada, Australia) have been the top study-abroad choices for Indian students. But 2026 is a year when there is a definitive shift, and students are choosing Germany, UAE, NZ, Ireland, France, China. #foreigneducation #studyabroad #education @r_g – at Linguaglossa, Sicilia

I tested the Tesla uniquely -- driving it from Gurgaon to a village in Rajasthan, on the expressway, over broken roads, on sandy tracks. Great car, minimalist, powered by Grok, but is it really built for India? πŸš—πŸš¨πŸš—πŸš¨ #TeslaModelY #ModelYL #ElonMusk #Starlink #Tesla @elonmusk – at Gurgaon, India

Good story by @Alisha2494, but my sub-editor skills noticed only the chart headline. It is either "In the slow lane" or "On the road". What is "On slow lane" 🀷🀷 Unusual for a page 1 story in a national newspaper. #English #grammer #newspaper #FinancialExpress – at Delhi, India

Why didn't Renault Duster work? With sales of just 7,422 units in 7 months (see chart), the return of the Duster wasn't the blockbuster comeback the icon deserved. But it's making a second coming within a second coming. Can Hybrid resurrect it? (1/2) #RenaultDuster #DusterHybrid – at Delhi, India

My article in @IndianExpress explains how Mahindra's XEV 9S beat MG Windsor to become India's top selling EV! The XEV 9S has proven that mass-selling EVs need not be in Rs 10-20 lakh range, as the XEV 9S is priced in Rs 20-30 lakh segment. @mahindraesuvs @anandmahindra #Mahindra – at Noida, India

Can we stop AI-related cheating in exams? πŸ€–πŸš¨ We can't, but what if we turn AI into exam paper! IIM Bangalore gave its students a month to develop their own chatbot, and they used that bot to answer exams on their behalf. The better the bot, the higher the scores. πŸ†πŸ† (1/2)

Mahindra targeted margin dominance; Tata flooded the sub-β‚Ή10 lakh floor. πŸš—πŸ€Ί So well written, @Sanjay_Sriv @TataMotors @anandmahindra @Mahindra_Auto @mahindraesuvs #Mahindra #Tata – at Gurgaon, India
Mahindra targeted margin dominance; Tata flooded the sub-β‚Ή10 lakh floor. πŸš—πŸ€Ί The result: Just six months after Mahindra seized the crown, Tata Motors has toppled its rival to reclaim India's No. 2 spot in H1 FY27 (376,840 units vs. Mahindra’s 358,142). πŸ₯ˆ Here are the strategic takeaways behind the flip: 1. Volume Still Lives Below 4 Metres In India, aggregate market share is won on the sub-β‚Ή10 lakh floor. Tata’s multi-powertrain strategy (ICE, CNG, EV) across Punch and Tiago, capped by the new Aeris sedan, built a volume runway that Mahindra could not match without a mass-market entry. 2. Mahindra’s Premium Ceiling Mahindra commanded high-margin positioning with β‚Ή20 lakh+ launches like the XEV 9S and XUV 7XO. But high average selling prices (ASPs) cannot compensate for raw volume deficits when defending a podium spot. 3. Structural Vulnerabilities on Both Sides β€’ Tata's Midsize Deficit: Tata remains weak above 4.3 metres; the revived Sierra continues to lag significantly behind the Creta, Seltos, and XUV 7XO. β€’ The Counter-Strike: Mahindra is readying 3 product unveilings for H2 FY27/FY28, while Hyundai’s upcoming Bayon threatens to disrupt both from below. The Takeaway: Mahindra proved margins build profitability; Tata proved entry-level density still dictates the podium. The race for No. 2 in passenger vehiclea remains India's most intense corporate battleground. @TataMotors @Mahindra_Auto @HyundaiIndia @SIAMIndia By @_vikramch #AutoIndustry #TataMotors #Mahindra #Automotive #BusinessStrategy

Is this a sign of India warming up to bigger bikes? @royalenfield launched Himalayan 440 a couple of weeks ago, but said it is stopping bookings because stock worth six months has been sold out. Is this bike that special, read my test ride report here (1/2). #Himalayan440 – at Noida, India
