MakeMyTrip is a Rs 60,000 crore company that, by all logic, shouldn't exist. It launched in 2000 when India's internet barely worked. Connections dropped, credit cards failed online, and most people used the internet to browse, not buy. The company faced a triple whammy of the dotcom bust, 9/11, and SARS in the early days, each hitting global travel harder than the last. Two decades later, COVID brought travel to a grinding halt—again. In between, deep-pocketed competitors launched brutal price wars that burned cash faster than revenues could grow. Desktop UX was losing ground to nimbler competitors. Hotels remained stubbornly offline—despite celebrity campaigns, the fragmented market wouldn't budge. Yet, against every odd, they didn't just survive—they rewrote India's internet story. In this weekday episode of the Blume Podcast, Karthik Reddy (Karthik) sits down with co-founders Deep Kalra (Deep Kalra) and Rajesh Magow (Rajesh Magow) to chat about building a generational company through two decades of chaos. Here's what makes their story remarkable: They grew 25× between 2005 and 2010—from near-bankruptcy in 2001, working without salaries in a ₹12/sqft mezzanine office where their knees touched when they swiveled around. They rang the Nasdaq bell in 2010—when Indian internet companies going public on a foreign exchange was virtually unheard of. 75-80% of employees held ESOPs that turned into real wealth practically overnight. They bet the company on mobile-first when it mattered—abandoning desktop entirely to win on app UX, never looking back. They survived a quarter with 96% revenue drop during COVID—and emerged with ruthless cost discipline and a stronger product, while keeping their best talent motivated when competitors were hiring aggressively. As Rajesh says, "Every crisis gives you the license to fix what you couldn't before." Today, MakeMyTrip is worth over ₹60,000 crore—but for its founders, it's still Day 1. With India's macro tailwinds and AI reshaping travel, the next chapter might just be their biggest yet. 🔗 Season Partners: IDFC FIRST Bank and Ultrahuman (Blume portco) Ashish Fafadia Sajith Pai Sanjay Nath Arpit Agarwal Ria Shroff Desai sarita raichura Alok Mehta Mitul Mehta Rohit Kaul Deepika Gautham S Elton Ray Coelho Vikram Gawande

What does the university of the future look like? According to Mr Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India, IIT Madras offers a glimpse. Speaking on the ANI Podcast with Ms Smita Prakash, he described IIT Madras as “the most interesting intellectual cluster in India right now,” pointing to its vibrant ecosystem of research, deep-tech innovation and entrepreneurship. From brain-mapping and Agnikul’s space rockets to e-planes, drone taxis and indigenous marine-engine development, the Institute is creating an environment where ideas move from research to real-world applications. Mr Sanyal also highlighted a key strength: learning beyond the classroom. With laboratories, prototyping facilities, research projects and startups on campus, students gain experience by building, testing and innovating. He suggested that universities across India could draw from this model by placing greater emphasis on experiential learning, research, industry collaboration, and entrepreneurship. 🎥 Watch the full conversation: Sanjeev Sanyal IIT Madras Smita Prakash ANI #IITMadras #Innovation #HigherEducation #ExperientialLearning #SanjeevSanyal #ANI

What happens when the subsidies fade and you’re already operating at a 15% disadvantage? As EV incentives are withdrawn globally and policy uncertainty looms at home, the bigger question isn’t survival, it’s competitiveness. On Young Turks Reloaded, Ather Energy’s Tarun Mehta says the future of India’s EV story can’t be subsidy-dependent. In fact, not qualifying for PLI pushed Ather to rethink its entire business model—from hardware to software, from one-time sales to subscription revenue. Now the bet is bigger. India could become one of the world’s largest exporters of electric two-wheelers—in what is a $100 billion global market. But that will require policy that supports innovation, not sidelines startups. Because capacity may come from legacy players. But the engine of disruption? That comes from startups.

Scenes from Palo Alto in 1989. This footage captures Palo Alto during a time of transition. The city was already starting to change, but not at the scale or pace seen today. Tech companies were present, and venture capital was part of the picture, but the footprint was smaller, and the transformation was not yet complete. Some of the places shown are still recognizable. A few streets, storefronts, and buildings remain much the same. Others have been replaced, rebuilt, or removed entirely. It’s a mix of the familiar and the forgotten. What comes through is a version of Palo Alto that feels more grounded in everyday life. Before it became a global center for innovation, it was still just a town, with all the ordinary details that come with that. The song is by a now-defunct Redwood City band called Nord Mariner. It felt like a fitting soundtrack. Its lyrics about change, memory, and the things we take for granted echo the feeling of watching a place change so much that it becomes something else entirely.

An IIT Madras physics professor teaches a full graduate level quantum mechanics course for free, and almost nobody outside India has heard of it. It's part of something called NPTEL, a government backed program that now hosts over 3,200 free university courses taught by professors at IIT and IISc, India's top engineering and science schools. Dr. S. Lakshmi Bala's course, Quantum Mechanics I, runs through the same material a physics graduate student would sit through in a paid semester: postulates of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, quantum optics, all of it filmed lecture hall style and uploaded for anyone to watch. No login wall, no certificate fee required to just watch, no tuition. Just a professor, a blackboard, and a camera that's been running since the early 2000s. Western universities charge thousands per credit for exactly this kind of course. India just recorded it and gave it away. Is this the biggest free education archive nobody talks about, or are people just not looking?

AI will determine the future of WORK, BUSINESS, and LIFE. And there are huge questions: Will AI unleash our creativity and help us to flourish? Or will we lose even more power, agency, and ownership? It all depends on the design of the tech infrastructure. As Chris Dixon often says, “Architecture is destiny.” And how AI systems are designed will be key to the future we all live in. The team at gensyn is building a protocol that connects every device in the world into an open network for machine intelligence, with no gatekeepers or artificial boundaries. They are shaping a future of AI that is good for all of us. At a recent Innoveum event, I chatted to cofounder and CEO of gensyn about what they’re building, how it transforms AI, and why we should all be relieved, excited, and get involved. The full conversation is below in Episode One of Innoveum | The Podcast. 👇

It all depends on the design of the tech infrastructure. As Chris Dixon often says, “Architecture is destiny.” And how AI systems are designed will be key to the future we all live in. The team at gensyn is building a protocol that connects every device in the world into an open network for machine intelligence, with no gatekeepers or artificial boundaries. They are shaping a future of AI that is good for all of us. At a recent Innoveum event, I chatted to cofounder and CEO of gensyn about what they’re building, how it transforms AI, and why we should all be relieved, excited, and get involved. The full conversation is below in Episode One of Innoveum | The Podcast. 👇

NEW: Whitney Webb describes how Les Wexner, Netanyahu, etc. have "enmeshed" Israeli tech startups into Big Tech companies so "they [can] never meaningfully boycott Israel no matter what happens" "a lot of these startups, of course... are intimately related to Israeli intelligence and Israeli military operations. They're staffed by veterans of one or the other... for lack of a better word, they have an explicit policy of using them as front companies for intelligence" "so, basically, by having all of these Big Tech companies absorb them, the goal is to have a major economic lever of power over the tech industry in particular that would prevent U.S. policy from ever meaningfully challenging Israel, even at this point in time when they have actively been conducting a genocidal war for years in Palestine" This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), a contributing editor of Unlimited Hangout and author of One Nation Under Blackmail, is taken from an interview with Chris Hedges (Chris Hedges) posted to YouTube on August 5, 2026 ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "Well, looking at a lot of the tech companies and data center companies that have installed themselves in New Albany in particular, the vast majority of them have significant subsidiaries that operate in the State of Israel. "And Wexner, of course, is intimately related to the state of Israel through his own activities. For example, I think several decades ago, he was sort of acting as a middleman in some business capacities between Israel and China and also working on establishing Israeli businesses and helping them establish themselves in the occupied Golan Heights, among other things. "And that's to say nothing of his links to the Mega Group, for example, which, as you noted in your introduction, created Birthright Israel. And also Jeffrey Epstein, who, at this point, is quite known for his ties to former Israeli politicians and the Israeli state. "But I think it also speaks to sort of a broader issue, to have a lot of this infrastructure of technology in the US be intimately intermingled and connected to Israel. "And this was actually something that was furthered and actually developed in conjunction with Netanyahu and the so-called vulture capitalist and significant donor to neoconservative causes Paul Singer, who explicitly created a company called Startup Nation Central with the explicit purpose of making it impossible for the U.S. to ever significantly support the BDS movement or the Boycott Divest Sanctions movement. "And the goal was to basically market Israeli startups to U.S. big tech firms so that they would acquire a lot of those startups and unprecedented numbers and also contract with them so that US technological infrastructure on multiple levels would be so intimately enmeshed with Israeli interests that they could never meaningfully boycott Israel no matter what happened, essentially. "And a lot of these startups, of course, if you've ever looked into the Israeli startup scene, are intimately related to, you know, Israeli intelligence and Israeli military operations. They're staffed by veterans of one or the other. "And, at the same time, coincidentally that Startup Nation Central was created, the Israeli government developed an explicit policy where these startups would be used to conduct operations that previously had been conducted in-house by Mossad, Unit 8200, and other parts of the Israeli intelligence system. "So, for lack of a better word, they have an explicit policy of using them as front companies for intelligence. And so, basically, by having all of these Big Tech companies absorb them, the goal is to have a major economic lever of power over the tech industry in particular that would prevent U.S. policy from ever meaningfully challenging Israel, even, you know, at this point in time, when they have, you know, actively been conducting a genocidal war for years in Palestine."

How IIT Madras is Changing Global Security The End of Hacking? IIT Madras is spearheading India's push into quantum-secure communications through the IITM-C-DOT Samgnya Technologies Foundation, launched as the National Hub for Quantum Communication under the National Quantum Mission. This initiative aims to make communications "unhackable" by shifting from math-based encryption to physics-based security, countering future quantum computer threats. ​ The hub, inaugurated in December 2025 at IIT Madras Research Park, partners with C-DOT and is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It focuses on developing indigenous quantum hardware, QKD networks, quantum repeaters, and satellite-based systems to protect critical infrastructure like AI data centers and defense networks. Traditional encryption relies on complex math that quantum computers will crack in years. QKD uses quantum physics: any eavesdropping alters the quantum state, alerting the system instantly and burning the key. IIT Madras claims an edge in secure transmission over computing leaders like the US and China. ​ The hub builds real-world testbeds, subsidizes hardware for startups, trains experts, and links globally via IITM Global outposts. It positions India to lead in quantum-secure networks for sovereign AI and government use within five years. ​ IIT Madras also runs CyStar, a cybersecurity center advancing quantum security, AI model protection, and IoT defenses since 2024. This aligns with national goals for unhackable comms amid rising cyber threats. Credit : AIM Network.

The Indian Government just did something that has Silicon Valley terrified. India is not simply buying AI chips. It is deliberately making AI compute cheaper than Amazon, and in some cases free. Under the IndiaAI Mission, the government has launched AIRAWAT, a national AI compute platform, alongside iKosha, India’s national AI data treasury. Together, they give startups, researchers and universities access to high-end AI compute at a fraction of the cost charged by Amazon, Google or Microsoft. For public institutions, researchers and selected early-stage startups, access is heavily subsidised, and in some cases provided entirely free. This is a fundamental shift in how AI infrastructure is being built. On Western cloud platforms, AI compute is priced for multinational corporations with deep pockets. India has chosen a different route. Instead of locking AI behind expensive pay-per-use contracts, it has created shared national infrastructure, where GPUs are pooled and made available at cost. Startups do not need millions in venture capital just to train a model. Researchers are not forced into foreign cloud dependency. Innovation is not restricted to those who can afford Silicon Valley pricing. The rollout of tens of thousands of GPUs, many of them Nvidia, is not about stockpiling hardware. It is about democratising access to compute. India is making it clear that if you are building something useful, locally relevant, or public-facing, you should not be priced out of AI by Big Tech. This is why it matters globally. India is not trying to outspend the United States or China. It is doing something more disruptive: undercutting the cloud monopoly model by making AI infrastructure cheap, shared, and in some cases free. That is also why this development receives so little attention in Western tech media. This is iKosha, AIRAWAT, and a conscious move towards AI sovereignty — affordable, accessible, and designed for public good rather than corporate rent-seeking.
