Back in my fifties, when I lived in Pune, India, I met a Polish gentleman living in the flat below mine. We met when our landlord, the only Zoroastrian I've ever met, invited the two of us to a 'get to know you' dinner. I learned the Polish dude had lived in the building for one month, to my two. He revealed he was struggling to adapt to solo living because he missed all his friends back home with whom he interacted face to face frequently. A month or two later...

Our guest in this episode is Ali Hafizji, the CEO of Wednesday Solutions, who joins us from Pune, India. He's on a critical mission to steer startup founders away from the chaos and waste that often plagues their journey, offering them a clear, systematic path to success. In our chat, Ali Hafizji breaks down the fundamental mindset shift that separates a struggling project from a thriving business: the transition from being a "builder" to becoming a true "business owner." Ali provides a clear framework for founders to escape the dreaded "build trap" and focus on the activities that genuinely move the needle. Key points discussed include:* Make the critical shift from passionately building a product to strategically owning the entire business.* Your new job isn't coding; it's marketing, sales, fundraising, and gathering crucial market insights.* Leverage AI for incredible speed, but always guide it with uniquely human judgment and strategic focus.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Ali has a critical and incredibly timely mission: to help founders avoid the pain, waste, and chaos that so often derails promising startups. He provides a wonderfully systematic and clear path for entrepreneurs to move from a compelling Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to that all-important Product-Market Fit, and he does it with a logic that cuts right through the emotional turmoil of the founder's journey.Our conversation was a deep dive into the fundamental mindset shift required to build not just a product, but a sustainable business. Ali's insights felt like a much-needed dose of clarity in a startup world that is often filled with noise and distractions. He's on a mission to help founders cross the chasm from being passionate builders to becoming strategic business owners, a distinction that is truly at the heart of success.The Critical Divide: Are You a Builder or a Business Owner?The most powerful idea Ali Hafizji shared was the distinction between acting like a "builder" and thinking like a "business owner". So many founders start because they have personally experienced a problem and have the vision to build a digital solution for it. This is a fantastic starting point, but it's also a trap. They get their MVP built, show it to a few people, and then get stuck in a perpetual cycle of building.As Ali explained, their day-to-day becomes about micromanaging features and tweaking the product, not growing the business. They are acting like builders, not owners. This crucial difference in mindset is often what separates a promising project that fizzles out from a company that achieves real traction and makes a lasting impact.Escaping the "Build Trap": When Your Day-to-Day Doesn't Move the NeedleThis builder mindset leads directly to what Ali calls the "build trap". You get feedback, you add a feature. You talk to a user, you tweak the interface. You're constantly busy, your team is shipping code, but the core business metrics aren't changing. You feel like you're working incredibly hard, but as Ali puts it, you're just not "moving the needle".The litmus test he offered was profound in its simplicity: if you realize that no matter what you do, things aren't fundamentally changing, you probably need to change first. It's a sign that you must stop focusing all your energy on the product itself and transform your own role within the company.The Founder's New Job: A Four-Point Mission for GrowthSo, what does that new role look like? Ali laid out a new job description for the post-MVP founder, one centered on four key activities: marketing, sales, fundraising, and gathering insights. The founder's primary job is to be the external voice and vision for the company, interacting with the market, customers, and investors.This means handing over the day-to-day building to a team you trust, whether it's an in-house team or a partner. That team's job is to convert the rich insights you're gathering into a digital offering. This shift is a massive change, moving from the comfort of building to the challenging, but essential, work of business development.AI as the Enabler, Not the Answer: Building with True VelocityIn today's world, it's easier than ever to build something, thanks in large part to AI. Ali is a huge proponent of using AI, but in a very specific, strategic way. He sees it as a powerful enabler to get your MVP off the ground and to supercharge your engineering team, allowing a small "pod" to achieve twice the outcome.However, he was quick to point out that true velocity isn't just about speed; it's a combination of speed and direction. AI can provide the speed, but the direction must come from the human insights gathered by the founder. An AI-enabled team is powerful, but they are still relying on the founder's strategic guidance to ensure they are building the right thing.The Human Advantage: Why Saying "No" is Your Most Important SkillThis brought us to the crucial human element. With the ability to build things so quickly, the temptation to add every bell and whistle is stronger than ever. Ali argued that the most important advantage a human-led team has is the ability to say "no." It's about having the focus and judgment to decide what not to build.He used brilliant examples, like Instagram focusing solely on its iOS app for the longest time, or Snapchat starting with a single, simple feature. This disciplined focus is only possible through a consultative, back-and-forth conversation between the founder and the team, constantly asking the tough questions: "What business metric is this going to move?" That judgment is something AI can't replicate.Conclusion: Stop Listening to the Chaos and Start BuildingAli's message is ultimately one of empowerment. We are in an age where the tools to bring an idea to life are more accessible than ever. His final call to action was simple: "now is the time to build". But that encouragement comes with a critical piece of wisdom.You must start with the awareness that the goal isn't just to build a product, but to build a business. Be prepared to make that difficult but necessary transition from builder to business owner. Stop listening to the chaos, focus on what truly matters, and you'll be on the right path to turning your vision into a viable, impactful company.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Ali's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: Using an AI tool that helps you take interviews better by nudging you to look at the camera and build a genuine connection.Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Actively avoiding the use of AI for human connection to maintain authenticity, as AI-generated text often feels like fluff.Differentiate by leveraging AI: Focus on authentic video for marketing, as text is now commoditized and video offers a less noisy, more human platform.ActionIf you are thinking about building a business, now is the time to start. Use the tools all around you to build whatever you plan, as you don't need a lot of external help to get started.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Ali via the Wednesday Solutions website or by connecting with him on LinkedIn.Links:* Website - Wednesday Solutions* LinkedIn* Twitter - @wednesdaysol* Instagram - @wednesday.solCool Things About Ali* He is a "Founder Pain-Killer": Ali hasn't just built another software company.

I recorded this episode at Barracuda TechSummit25 in Alpbach, Austria, a mountain village that looks like a postcard and hosts some of the most grounded security conversations you will hear all year. My guest is Richard Flanders, Commercial Director at Aura Technology, a managed service provider on the south coast of England that supports public sector organisations and tightly regulated commercial clients. Richard arrived as part of Barracuda's Partner Advisory Board, which means he spends as much time feeding customer reality back into product teams as he does comparing notes with peers in the hallway. We talk through his first TechSummit experience and why the event's focus on hands-on engineering matters for MSPs who live in the weeds of configuration, policy, and response. Richard shares early thoughts on Barracuda's secure edge service and the continued maturation of XDR, but the heart of our chat is the pressure he sees on customers. Compliance is no longer a side quest. ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, supply chain reporting, and new European rules are shaping budgets and expectations. Boards want proof. Auditors want evidence. Buyers want to know a supplier chose fit-for-purpose tools. That makes documentation, contracts, and the ability to show your working as important as the tech itself. We also get into the human side. In a world that loves point solutions, many teams are tired of alert noise and tool sprawl. Richard explains why a single, coherent view helps his engineers move faster and train better, and why MSPs are leaning into prevention-focused workflows rather than waiting for the next fire. He is candid about the conversations no one enjoys, like end-of-life systems that keep a legacy app alive, and the need for tougher stances when risk sits outside an acceptable boundary. AI comes up too, without the hype. Aura is hiring a Head of AI and Automation, standing up a private AI platform, and committing to ship a handful of small, useful apps for customers in the year ahead. The lens is productivity and safety, with an emphasis on teaching teams how to question outputs and rethink everyday tasks. Add in security awareness training, phishing simulations, and tabletop exercises, and you start to see a culture shift from annual tick-boxes to regular, lived practice. There is a lovely moment of serendipity in here as well. Richard's first conversation on day one was with another partner from Pune, the same city where Aura runs its network operations. They swapped ideas on automation and integration that might never have surfaced on a video call. That is the value of getting people in a room together, especially when the room happens to be carved into the side of a mountain. If you work with an MSP, this episode will help you ask better questions. If you are an MSP, you will recognise the balance Richard describes. Pick the right controls for the risks you actually face. Prove what you do. Keep training. And give your teams a single place to see what matters, so the next incident stays small. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

The webinar featured Professor Michael Hatchet discussing "Prayer in the Periphery" on August 25, 2025. He explored the philosophical challenge of "praying without ceasing" as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:17.Key points covered:The problem: How can one pray continuously when daily tasks require full attention?Professor Hatchet introduced a framework analyzing consciousness as having three parts:He proposed that continuous prayer might be possible through "peripheral listening" - maintaining awareness of God in the margin of consciousness rather than the center or context. This allows one to remain receptive to divine communication while engaged in necessary tasks.The discussion included parallels with Hindu concepts, noting similarities between Christian prayer and bhakti yoga (devotional practices). Professor Jain highlighted how the topic connects to both dualistic perspectives (where God and devotee are separate) and non-dualistic perspectives in Hinduism.The session concluded with reflections on comparative theology between Christianity and Hinduism, acknowledging Christianity's long history in India dating back nearly two millennia.Professor Michael Hatcher earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Southern California. He has taught at Valparaiso University in Indiana—literally meaning 'Vale of Paradise'—and now teaches at FLAME University in Pune, also nestled in a scenic valley. His academic journey, therefore, has moved between valleys, both geographical and intellectual, exploring the depths of philosophy and theology. In this webinar, he spoke on a fascinating theme: 'Prayer in the Periphery.' Drawing from philosophical theology and phenomenology, Professor Hatcher will explore the possibility of unceasing prayer as envisioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:17.Interestingly, the name Thessalonica—from which Thessalonians come—means 'Victory of Thessaly' in Greek, with nikē meaning victory. This resonates with the Sanskrit words jaya and vijaya, which also mean victory. Such linguistic resonances remind us of the deep Indo-European heritage shared by Greek and Sanskrit, bridging traditions and contexts much like Professor Hatcher does in his work. Through the lens of contextual and marginal awareness—as articulated by Gurwitsch and Arvidson—he will invite us to reflect on how individuals might attune themselves to the divine voice while navigating the rhythms of everyday life . Valleys are often places of learning and reflection, where depth of thought can flourish. From Valparaiso, the 'Vale of Paradise,' to the valley setting of FLAME University, Professor Hatcher's path has been marked by such spaces of contemplation. In this lecture, he invites us into another kind of valley — the philosophical and theological exploration of unceasing prayer in everyday life.

Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This week belonged to Ed Sheeran in more ways than one. First, his return to the stage saw a sold-out and highly anticipated two-night run at Strawberry Arena in Sweden on August 22 and 23. Fans sang along to new hits and old favorites as Sheeran's + – = ÷ x Tour rolled on, with highlights that included a surprise live debut of a Justin Bieber cover and a duet with Tori Kelly that left social media buzzing, as evidenced by numerous Instagram reels and TikTok snippets capturing the energy from the Solna shows. The tour continues its globe-trotting momentum, and just yesterday, IANS reported that Sheeran is set to hit India in early 2025 for a string of six major concerts spanning Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Shillong, and Delhi. Promoters are billing the shows as a stripped-back, intimate concert experience, putting Sheeran and his storytelling center stage—something fans who missed his previous Mumbai gig know not to pass up.Hot on the heels of his stage successes, Ed grabbed headlines in the business world as his streaming influence remained colossal. HypeAuditor put him at 49.3 million followers on Instagram with a monthly earning estimate of around 99 thousand dollars, reaffirming his position among the top global influencer celebrities. On the content side, he sent fans into a frenzy this week by dropping a stripped acoustic performance video of his new single, A Little More, standing barefoot beside a pool at Mexico City's landmark Cuadra San Cristóbal—as reported by ABC Audio—instantly making the video a must-see across all platforms.If you like your music news with a hint of mischief, Sheeran's latest prank is making the rounds online—a giant dinosaur prop that he commissioned for friends, sparking a lighthearted TikTok trend and TikToks reusing the footage. Meanwhile, The News Pakistan spotlighted Sheeran's unfiltered moment of candor in a new interview on Barry Keoghan's GOAT Talk, where he confessed his £200,000 Aston Martin was his worst ever purchase, lost to floodwaters and never recovered. Aside from his music and money moves, fans loved the nostalgia when The Straits Times shared photos Sheeran posted of himself with Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Bruno Mars, using rare throwbacks to tease his upcoming single Old Phone.In summary, Ed Sheeran balanced blockbuster concerts, viral social media content, a candid financial blunder, and industry dominance. With a jam-packed schedule, loyal fans, and an eye on his past and future, Sheeran remains a headline magnet as summer 2025 winds down.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

CrowdScience listener Rit, from Pune in India, is staring out of his window at the falling rain. It's been pouring for four days now, and shows no sign of stopping. The laundry is piling up, all his shoes are wet, and he's worried about the effect it's having on the environment, and on agriculture. When it rains like this, the animals suffer, and the crops are destroyed. Cloud seeding and Weather Engineering are hot topics right now, and can bring the rain to places that need it. But Rit wants to know whether we can artificially stop the pouring rain, especially in an emergency. Following the devastating floods in Texas, it's clearly not just a problem for countries with a monsoon season. Presenter Chhavi Sachdev is also sitting in a downpour at home in Mumbai. She dons her rain jacket and rubber boots to try and find out whether science can help Rit with his question. From controlling the clouds in India, to bringing rain to the deserts of the UAE, to firing high-powered lasers into the skies above Geneva, we find out what weather engineering is really capable of. With thanks to: Dr Thara Prabhakaran, from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology Alya Al Mazroui, Director of the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science Jean-Pierre Wolf, Applied Physics Department of the University of Geneva Presenter: Chhavi Sachdev Producer: Emily Knight Series Producer: Ben Motley(Image: Girl carrying umbrella while standing on road against trees during rainfall.

Shoanak (Sean) Mallapurkar is the founder and CEO of RecruitCRM, a complete CRM and business management system for global staffing companies and recruiting agencies. He started the company in 2017 with his father, a technical expert who had experience as a senior executive in large staffing companies. Sean handled customer-facing jobs in sales, success, and product management, and his Dad managed engineering, finance, and marketing. They started in Pune, India, but both Sean and his father moved to Dubai in 2023 for lifestyle and tax benefits. RecruitCRM employs over 150 remote employees in India to serve thousands of customers in more than 100 countries. RecruitCRM revenues grew quickly to nearly $10 million ARR in 2025. Their product suite includes CRM, billing, applicant tracking, AI resume parsing, financial management, and more. The company is very profitable and growing steadily (Rule of 70) and the co-owners/co-founders have no intention of selling. They see a steady path to a $100 million revenue business as an independent company. Quote from Soanak (Sean) Mallapurkar, founder and CEO of RecruitCRM “The one thing that really worked for us was keeping costs extremely low and having over three years of capital runway. That wasn't millions of dollars for us. It was $100,000. And we didn't even spend it. We only spent about $80K before we started selling and got to breakeven. “When you have enough time,you can you can do more things, you can try more things, and make it happen. If you only have a year to succeed, you're screwed. Get through the really hard stuff and get to a million in revenue “Then resist the urge to raise capital until you are at a million dollars in revenue. Then ask yourself if you need it. If you can resist the urge to raise capital, a lot of opportunities open up to you. And it's a very different financial outcome than having investors.” Links Soanak (Sean) Mallapurkar on LinkedIn RecruitCRM on LinkedIn RecruitCRM website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

What does it take to build a $100 billion cybersecurity company in today's cloud-first, AI-infused world? And how do you balance relentless technological change with the practical realities of compliance, risk, and leadership? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Sumedh Thakar, CEO of Qualys, during his visit to the UK for the company's QSC conference. From starting out as one of Qualys' first engineers to leading the company through a new era of risk-centric cybersecurity, Sumedh brings a unique blend of technical insight and lived experience. We discuss why compliance remains such a challenge for enterprises, how the conversation is shifting from attack surfaces to risk surfaces, and why many businesses are overwhelmed by security signals but underwhelmed by strategic clarity. Sumedh shares his view on the growing importance of the Risk Operations Center (ROC) and how AI is complicating risk profiles in new and unpredictable ways. He also reflects on the future of cloud security and why the market remains wide open for innovation, even as it becomes more crowded. Beyond the tech, Sumedh opens up about his personal journey from Pune to Silicon Valley, how a threatened farm purchase changed his life, and why leadership is ultimately a game of time, trust, and communication. He leaves us with a powerful book recommendation, Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, which he credits with transforming his leadership style and helping him build stronger relationships across the board. Are we thinking about risk in the right way or simply throwing money at the latest acronyms? And how do you build a meaningful legacy in cybersecurity without losing sight of the human side? Join the conversation and let me know what resonated with you most.
What if your investments could do more than grow your wealth? What if they could also fight injustice, uplift your neighbor, and even bring joy to the world? Joy probably isn't the first word that comes to mind when you think about investing, but maybe it should be. Robin John joins us today to share how investing can be more than financial—it can be deeply spiritual.Robin John is the CEO at Eventide Asset Management, LLC. Views expressed in this podcast are intended for information purposes and do not constitute investment advice. Eventide does not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice. Eventide's values-based approach to investing may not produce desired results and could result in underperformance compared with other investments. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.A Life-Changing Encounter in IndiaRobin was just 23 years old when his employer sent him to Pune, India, to support an outsourcing initiative. Although born in India, he had moved to the U.S. at the age of eight and was returning for the first time as a young professional.While staying in a guesthouse, he noticed two young men—Amal and Kamal—who took care of him daily, preparing meals and ironing his clothes. One evening, Robin asked where they slept and was shocked to learn they were sleeping on the hard floor of a hot, cramped pantry.“I had a beautiful air-conditioned room with extra space,” Robin recalled. “But they had no bed, no pillow, no blanket. And I looked just like them.”When he raised his concerns, he was told the guesthouse workers were not his company's responsibility. That response, though typical in business, left Robin deeply unsettled. It pushed him into prayer, fasting, and a season of searching. He began to ask: “Is business just about profit? Or could it be something more?”From Disillusionment to a Renewed MindThrough time in Romans 12—“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”—Robin experienced a major shift in perspective. He began to see that work, business, and investing could all be expressions of love for neighbor and tools for redemptive impact.That shift eventually led him, alongside his friend Dr. Finny Kuruvilla, to launch Eventide Asset Management—an investment firm with a bold mission: to invest in companies that make the world rejoice.What Makes a Company Worth Investing In?Eventide's approach centers on one key question: Is this company doing good?They look for companies whose products are truly good and whose practices serve others well—employees, customers, supply chains, communities, even the environment. Investing is a form of ownership, and when we invest, we are rooting for that company's success.But Eventide doesn't just embrace the good—it also avoids the harmful. In the book, Robin likens harmful companies to dragons that lurk outside the village in ancient stories, threatening human flourishing.Companies profiting from gambling, addiction, or exploitation—like sports betting platforms—may look appealing on a spreadsheet, but Robin challenges us to consider their deeper impact. As Christian investors, we must ask: What are we promoting in the world? Are we fighting the dragons, or feeding them?Cultivating Goodness, Like a GardenFrom the very beginning in Genesis 1, we see that we are called to cultivate, to build, to bring about flourishing. Business and investing can be part of that calling.From companies developing cancer treatments to those honoring their truck drivers by ensuring they can sleep at home with their families, these are the stories of modern cultivation, and they're the kinds of businesses Eventide champions.A Framework for Faith-Driven InvestingEventide's “Business 360” framework reflects biblical values and centers on love for neighbor. It seeks to:Avoid companies that cause harm.Embrace companies that promote human flourishing.Engage with companies to encourage positive change.Investors can explore two free tools at GoodInvestor.com:Portfolio Screening Tool – See how your current investments align with biblical values.Advisor Connection Tool – Get connected with a financial advisor who practices faith-aligned investing.Your Investments Can Honor GodRobin's hope for every reader of his new book, The Good Investor, is that they will walk away inspired, believing their investments can change the world and honor God in the process.You can purchase The Good Investor wherever books are sold. And if you're ready to explore how your wealth can serve the Lord and bless others, visit GoodInvestor.com to begin your journey.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:You've mentioned a specific company when talking about reverse mortgages on past shows. I recall you saying that it's the one you usually recommend. Can you remind me of the name?My wife and I are both chiropractors, but she's feeling called to stay home with our kids. We're still working through student loan debt and also hoping to buy a home here in Florida. I'm feeling torn about how to make the budget work.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)GoodInvestor.comThe Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World by Robin C.

In the past two decades, there's been a wave of liberal arts universities in the country – these challenge the traditional Indian model that sequesters students into strict streams. FLAME set up shop in 2007, then Azim Premji, Shiv Nadar, and Ashoka University in 2014. This year, Nayanta University of Pune will take its first batch of students. Liberal arts universities encourage students to take classes in lots of different departments. They also generally have smaller class sizes and focus on the Socratic, discussion model of learning. Liberal arts universities have been around for quite some time now, but what do they offer that's so different from traditional Indian colleges? What are the career prospects of their graduates, and have they changed in the recent past? They're also quite expensive, in the tune of 30-40 lakhs for a three-year Bachelor's course, for instance; are they worth it? Tune in to the latest episode of The Signal Daily to find out more.

Turns out, in India's healthcare industry, prevention isn't just better than cure—it's also far more investable.The new buzzword making the rounds? Health assurance. Not insurance—assurance.It means what it sounds like. Unlike traditional insurance, which kicks in after you fall sick, health assurance is about keeping you healthy to begin with.A Pune-based startup called Loop Health was the first to introduce India to a variant of the same concept. It positions itself as a corporate broker, not an insurer. So it doesn't underwrite risk, but instead sells third-party insurance products to HR heads and bundles its own health perks alongside. The assurance model has helped this seven-year-old startup grow rapidly. Loop is dreaming big. It's done being the middleman. Now, it wants to go full stack. But between regulatory hurdles and skepticism from the insurance and broking circles, its success isn't assured. Tune in.

This episode, the chaos begins with names—Jim Sarbh explains the minimal effort behind his naming, while Amit Sadh reveals how his was the first thing that must’ve popped into his parents' heads. From there, it’s a deep dive into their backgrounds—Jim’s posh Mumbai schooling and expat education, and Amit’s roots in Lucknow and a couple other places, his dad’s sports legacy, and a shared alma mater with Cyrus. The trio bond over their football allegiances (Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal—civil war!), working on Pune Highway with Rahul and Bugs, and a surprising amount of love for biking, animals, and awkward film screenings. We also get stories from their first films (Kai Po Che, Neerja), biking as therapy, illegal rallies, acting school camaraderie, and one wildly specific joke comparing Cyrus to a Cyprus tree. It's raw, real, and very Cyrus Says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the Catch Up on 3 things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is the 9th of May and here are this week's headlineIn a decisive military action, India launched "Operation Sindoor" in the early hours of Wednesday, executing precision strikes on nine terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). This operation was a direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Indian tourists. During a press briefing in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh detailed the operation's objectives and outcomes. They confirmed the destruction of camps associated with notorious terrorists Ajmal Kasab and David Headley. The strikes were meticulously planned to avoid civilian casualties, utilizing advanced weaponry and precision-guided munitions. Targets were carefully selected to dismantle terrorist infrastructure while sparing Pakistani military installations, underscoring India's intent to avoid escalation.A day after India struck Pakistan terror camps, during a special briefing on Operation Sindoor the government said today that the “Pahalgam attack was the first escalation,”. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh addressed the media again on a day India neutralised an air defence system in Lahore. This comes on a day of fast-paced developments after India asked OTT platforms, media streaming platforms and intermediaries operating in India to discontinue the web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming media content originating from Pakistan. Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned that those trying to test India's patience should be ready to face ‘quality action' like yesterday's in a reference to Operation Sindoor. The day started with India's reveal that Indian Armed Forces neutralised an air defence system in Lahore after Pakistan attempted overnight strikes on multiple Indian cities.India conducted a nationwide civil defence exercise, codenamed 'Operation Abhyas,' across 244 districts. This large-scale mock drill, organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs and coordinated by the National Disaster Management Authority, aimed to bolster emergency preparedness amid escalating tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The drills simulated various hostile scenarios, including air raids with siren activations, blackout procedures, urban fire emergencies, search and rescue operations, casualty evacuations, and the establishment of temporary hospitals. Major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Pune participated, with specific activities like a 10-minute blackout observed in Haryana and siren activations in Delhi's 11 districts.The Supreme Court warned Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on March 25 that AIIMS may take over its management if it continues to violate land lease terms requiring free treatment for poor patients. Over 12 years, Apollo reportedly allocated only 17% of its mandated Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beds, with some years as low as 12%. The court's rebuke follows a review of internal records revealing chronic underperformance. The hospital was granted land at concessional rates with the condition of providing EWS care, a commitment it now risks losing if non-compliance continues.India and the United Kingdom inked a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on Tuesday (May 6), bringing to an end around three years of negotiations. The timing of the deal, signed by the world's fifth and sixth largest economies, respectively, is significant. It comes as global trade is reeling under the tariffs unleashed by US President Donald Trump in early April. The agreement is expected to boost bilateral trade by £25.5 billion a year, from 2040 onwards, Britain said. Trade between the two nations totalled £42.6 billion in 2024. Total UK exports to India amounted to £17.1 billion, while total UK imports from India amounted to £25.5 billion in 2024. India was Britain's 11th-largest trading partner last year. Britain said the deal was the “biggest and most economically significant” bilateral trade agreement it had signed since leaving the European Union in 2020 (what was dubbed “Brexit”).
This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha Sharma.Today is the 7th of May and here are the headlines.In a decisive military action, India launched "Operation Sindoor" in the early hours today, executing precision strikes on nine terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). This operation was a direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Indian tourists. During a press briefing in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh detailed the operation's objectives and outcomes. They confirmed the destruction of camps associated with notorious terrorists Ajmal Kasab and David Headley. The strikes were meticulously planned to avoid civilian casualties, utilizing advanced weaponry and precision-guided munitions. Targets were carefully selected to dismantle terrorist infrastructure while sparing Pakistani military installations, underscoring India's intent to avoid escalation.Colonel Qureshi emphasised that the operation aimed to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam attack and their families. Wing Commander Singh highlighted the use of "niche technology weapons" to ensure that only intended targets were neutralized, minimizing collateral damage. In the wake of the operation, Pakistan has condemned the strikes as an "act of war," claiming civilian casualties and asserting that Indian military aircraft were downed—a claim not corroborated by India. The situation has led to heightened tensions along the Line of Control, with reports of cross-border shelling and civilian casualties on both sides. The cross-border shelling by Pakistani forces has claimed at least nine civilians lives and 38 injured in Jammu and Kashmir today. The international community, including the United Nations, has expressed concern and urged both nations to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation.The ministries of IT and Information and Broadcasting are “constantly monitoring” content being uploaded to social media platforms for misleading content related to the aftermath of ‘Operation Sindoor' to issue takedown orders, and have sensitised social media platforms to block any content that is unlawful, a senior government official told The Indian Express. Agencies and organisations which are in charge of India's critical infrastructure, such as the Power Ministry, financial institutions including banks, and telecom operators are also on “high alert” after having faced a number of cyber attacks following the Pahalgam terror attack last month. “There have been some DDoS attacks on some infrastructure, but we have contained them. Now we are on high alert because such attempts will certainly be made,” the official said. A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a cyberattack where an attacker overwhelms a website, server, or network with malicious traffic from multiple sources, making it slow or inaccessible to legitimate users.India conducted a nationwide civil defence exercise, codenamed 'Operation Abhyas,' across 244 districts.

The conclave to select the new pope will begin behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel today afternoon as cardinals from 70 countries will be secluded, their cellphones surrendered and airwaves around the Vatican jammed in order to find the next leader of the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church. Ahead of the Papal Conclave, a few names have propped up who are being seen as favourites to succeed Pope Francis, namely Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo among others. The uncertainty over the level of support for any one cardinal amongst the 133 cardinal electors suggests that it is one of the most wide-open conclaves in history.
