Long before UPI, smartphones and Aadhaar transformed digital payments in India, mChek was trying to turn mobile phones into wallets.The vision was ambitious.The execution was complex.And the ecosystem was still years away from catching up.In this episode of the Prime Venture Partners Podcast, Shripati Acharya speaks with Sanjay Swamy, former CEO of mChek and Managing Partner at Prime Venture Partners, about one of India's earliest attempts at building mobile payments.They discuss what it feels like to build ahead of the market, the hidden cost of ecosystem dependency, and why timing is often the hardest variable for founders to get right.The conversation also explores:• Why being early can sometimes look exactly like being wrong• How telcos, banks and regulators shaped the mChek journey• The operational chaos of building fintech in 2006 India• Why distribution does not always lead to adoption• What changed between mChek, Paytm and the UPI era• Why products depending on too many stakeholders are harder to scale• The difference between having the right idea and having the right timingIf you are building in a market that still feels early, this episode is worth your time.

Despite instant UPI payments, real-time notifications, and API-first financial infrastructure becoming normal in India, cross-border payments remain surprisingly broken for many exporters and global-first businesses.In this episode of India FinTech Diaries, we sit down with Anand Balaji, CEO & Co-founder of Xflow, to unpack why international money movement is still plagued by opacity, delays, compliance friction, and fragmented infrastructure.Anand takes us deep into the architecture of modern cross-border payments—from SWIFT and correspondent banking to compliance engines, FX intelligence, and programmable treasury infrastructure.The core argument is simple but powerful:Cross-border payments were designed for access, not experience.And that's now becoming a major bottleneck for India's global-first businesses.Key Themes from the Episode
This episode is part of our special series on the India AI Impact Summit, examining the conversations, decisions, and debates that are shaping global AI governance. The working group was designed from the start to be bottom-up rather than top-down. Rather than starting from the positions of countries already leading in AI, the agenda was shaped through consultations, bilateral discussions, and deliberate outreach beyond official channels. The concerns that emerged were consistent: uneven concentration of compute, limited access to quality data, dependence on external platforms, and the risk that much of the global south would not be able to fully participate in or benefit from AI-driven development. The two key outcomes are the Democratic Diffusion of AI Resources charter, a collective commitment to inclusive and equitable AI development adopted in the summit's final declaration, and MAITRI, a collaborative platform designed to connect governments, researchers, and institutions to the essential building blocks of AI without each country having to start from scratch. Saurabh Garg draws a direct line between these initiatives and India's own experience with layered digital public infrastructure, pointing to the principles behind Aadhaar, UPI, and the India AI Mission as exactly what informed the working group's approach. The real work, he makes clear, begins now. Every two weeks, Interpreting India brings you diverse voices from India and around the world to explore the critical questions shaping the nation's future. We delve into how technology, the economy, and foreign policy intertwine to influence India's relationship with the global stage.As a Carnegie India production, hosted by Carnegie scholars, Interpreting India, a Carnegie India production, provides insightful perspectives and cutting-edge by tackling the defining questions that chart India's course through the next decade.Stay tuned for thought-provoking discussions, expert insights, and a deeper understanding of India's place in the world.Don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review to join the conversation and be part of Interpreting India's journey.

In this conversation with Saurabh Mukherjea, we break down what's really happening to India's middle class — from stagnant incomes and rising debt to job uncertainty and changing financial behaviour. Based on real data, field research, and on-ground stories, this episode explores: - Why people earning ₹5 lakh to ₹1 crore feel stuck - How automation is silently reducing salaries - Why India's middle class is taking on more debt than ever before - The hidden impact of UPI and easy credit - Why people are taking loans for vacations, phones, and even concerts - The rise of risky investing and massive retail losses - How social media is reshaping aspirations and spending habits - And what this means for your financial future This is not just an economic discussion. It's a reality check.
Marta, Renata i Piotr spotkali się w 181. odcinku podcastu „Dyskusje o książkach”, żeby porozmawiać o powieści „Upiór” Macieja Siębiedy. Marta, która prowadzi grupę czytelniczą „Dom Mola książkowego”, opowiedziała o pasji do wspólnego czytania, a Renata przyznała, że to jej pierwsza przygoda z tym autorem.Najważniejsze punkty rozmowy:* Mroczny biznes pogrzebowy: Książka pokazuje kulisy branży funeralnej i to, jak przestępcy mogą wykorzystywać zakłady pogrzebowe do pozbywania się ciał. Padło też nawiązanie do prawdziwej afery „łowców skór”.* Bohaterowie i powrót z zaświatów: Choć to seria o Jakubie Kani, tym razem najważniejszy był Marek Kopczyński. Jakub Kania pojawia się rzadziej, ale za to w wielkim stylu – na początku zostaje uznany za zmarłego, po czym „wraca do żywych”.* Strach przed pochowaniem żywcem: Sporo rozmawiano o tafefobii, czyli lęku przed byciem pogrzebanym za życia. Renata, która na co dzień pracuje w szpitalu, opowiedziała o tym, jak medycyna sprawdza, czy ktoś na pewno umarł.* Historia i duchy: Wielkim plusem książki jest wątek Władysława Reymonta i jego pasji do wywoływania duchów. Pojawia się też bieszczadzka wieś Jawornik, słynąca z dawnych, brutalnych sposobów na „wampiry”.* Zalety i wady: Piotr uznał, że książka jest za długa i można by ją skrócić. Marcie natomiast bardzo podobała się dynamiczna akcja i to, jak autor układa fabułę z drobnych elementów.* Podejście do śmierci: Piotr wspomniał własne, trudne doświadczenia z firmami pogrzebowymi. Zauważył, że bohaterowie książki prowadzą swój biznes z ogromną klasą i szacunkiem, co rzadko zdarza się w rzeczywistości.Werdykt: Jeśli lubisz thrillery, ciekawostki historyczne albo po prostu nie boisz się tematu śmierci – ta książka jest dla Ciebie!

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-the-need-for-pax-indica-malacca-was-blocked-1001-years-ago-hormuz-is-choked-now-14005673.htmlIn 1025 CE, exactly 1,001 years ago, Emperor Rajendra Chola sent an armada (probably the largest fleet in history before the advent of steam) 4,000 kilometers clear across the Indian Ocean. It was on a mission strangely familiar to us in 2026: open up a critical strait that was being choked by a littoral state. The thalassocratic SriVijaya Empire of Sumatra was closing the strait and imposing tolls, as well as winking at a little piracy.The strait in question then was Malacca. The Chola goal: to reopen Indian trade with Southeast Asia and China. Remarkably, the Cholas were not interested in territorial conquest, only in freedom of navigation.It is ironic that today, it is again a question of free trade, that shibboleth that has been waved about for decades (although that was a euphemism for ‘managed trade that benefits the West').The difference between then and now? The salient fact is that Rajendra Chola was able to open Malacca with his wooden ships. With all his aircraft carriers and F-35s and missiles, President Trump is unable to open Hormuz. This must mean something, although reasonable people may differ on what that is. My claim is that it means India has the opportunity, in fact the need, to step into the breach.Maritime trade is severely disturbed today, and it is increasingly a disaster for innocent bystanders bereft of oil and gas. And it is increasingly the Indian Ocean that matters: specifically the sea-lanes from Hormuz to Malacca, which handle a significant portion of both oil/gas trade and goods trade globally.Geo-politics and geo-economics, Mahan's and Spykman's theoriesIt is a reasonable conjecture that the locus of power has shifted over the centuries: in the 19th century, the Atlantic was supreme; in the 20th century, the Pacific; and in the 21st century, the most important ocean is the Indian Ocean. Asia has returned to center stage. In support of this assertion, see how the economic center of gravity of the world has returned to the vicinity of India, after the European colonial interlude.It is therefore appropriate to ask what it would take for India to regain its former keystone role in the Indian Ocean. Of course geography offers it to the country on a platter. From both Alfred Thayer Mahan's theory of naval power, and from Nicholas Spykman's Rimland theory, India could be, or should be, the dominant power in the region: it is almost literally India's ocean.Mahan's ideas, updated for today, suggest that a strong navy should protect a large merchant marine fleet, manage trade, and control choke-points. The preferred hardware may have changed from battleships to aircraft carriers and especially nuclear submarines these days, but the basic idea remains: speak softly but carry a big stick with a force-projection navy.Spykman's Rimland theory seems more appropriate in current circumstances than the Heartland theory popularized by Halford MacKinder. The Eurasian land mass may well be subject to control by a coastal hegemon or an alliance that controls the sea lanes and choke points. Despite pipelines and rail-borne containers, maritime trade still dominates.Spice Route >> Silk RoadA stark reminder of this is the comparison between the fabled ‘Silk Road' and the ancient ‘Spice Route'. Despite all the breathless propaganda about the Silk Road, it is abundantly clear that sea-borne trade was an order of magnitude greater, because a caravan of 500 camels, braving deserts, bandits and so on across central Asia couldn't possibly carry more than 100 tons of goods; whereas an ocean-going stitched teak ship, like a single uru from Beypore, Kerala, could easily carry 400 tons. And the monsoon winds provided predictable, seasonal propulsion.India's prowess was built on the monsoons. By mastering the seasonal winds, Indian mariners turned the ocean into a highway. This made India the supreme trading power. Merchants from Rome and Egypt traded with Chinese and Southeast Asian counterparts on the Malabar and Coromandel coasts, leaving behind troves of coins as evidence.The SwitchThe remarkable thing is that these merchants did not even need to meet each other physically, because India provided the “multi-protocol switch”: translating their diverse needs and offering the conveniences of an entrepot, while also itself producing coveted, high-value products such as black pepper. For example, a Greek buyer could buy something from a Chinese seller, and settle the transaction using Indian credit.And how did India do it? By providing the “switching fabric”, such as the ports, the credit systems, and the security, that allowed these disparate worlds to exchange products and wealth without ever meeting.This is much like what a network gateway such as TIBCO does for packets of different kinds of data (in passing, how appropriate that TIBCO was founded by an Indian-American, Vivek Ranadive!). Hardware switches, eg. from Cisco Systems, have been around for a while, but TIBCO abstracted that functionality in software to connect those with different protocols.India already has many of the ingredients of the switching fabric in the India Stack. Using protocols like UPI, e-KYC, Account Aggregation, Central Bank Digital Currency, and ONDC, especially along with distributed-ledger blockchain-based Smart Contracts, it should be possible to provide end-to-end transparent and reliable multi-party trade support which complements the SWIFT payment system. Complement, not necessarily replace.The same pattern held with India's age-old trade system. The ports were on the Malabar Coast, such as Muziris; on the Coromandel coast, such as Arikkamedu; and on the Konkan Coast, such as Bharuchcha. The credit systems were run by temples which acted as both bankers and venture capitalists for the trading guilds. The security: well, that's what Rajendra Chola demonstrated in 1025 CE.Alas, medieval India lost its maritime focus. So did China. Both became insular, and were overwhelmed by invaders, including Turkics and Europeans. In India's case, the Turkic invaders were land-focused powers, although there were isolated maritime attempts (e.g. the Maratha Navy, Travancore defeating the Dutch in an amphibious battle at Colachel in 1741, etc.)Now, however, there are new ports. The most interesting is the Port of Trivandrum (Vizhinjam). This deep-water container transhipment port is only 10 nautical miles away from the Hormuz-Malacca sea lanes, and now when Dubai is closed, it reportedly has a backlog of a hundred container ships waiting to be berthed. Then there is the upcoming Vadhavan container port in Maharashtra, and the Galathea Bay container port in Great Nicobar, which overlooks the mouth of Malacca.Pax Indica todayThe modern idea of Pax Indica borrows from both perspectives: hard power and a switch. An Internet search brings up the fact that it was my friend Bapa Rao and I who first started talking about it in terms of India being the benevolent hegemon in the Indian Ocean, way back in the 1990s.Later, Shashi Tharoor wrote in his 2011 book Pax Indica that it could be “a peace system based on cooperation, stability, and rule‑based order in Asia and beyond, in which rising India helps shape the rules of the road rather than impose its will through hegemony.” That is, along roughly the same lines as the “multi protocol switch” or entrepot concept.Pax Indica is not an empire; it is an ecosystem. There are three aspects: military power, the full exploration of the multiprotocol switch, and the port-led development policy. Bapa Rao and I will consider these in a future article. Briefly, though, here is what these entail.* Project Power: Use a 3-carrier, 18-24-submarine navy to ensure no single power can close the ocean's gates.* Enable Trade: Use the Digital India Stack to act as the “Multi-Protocol Switch” for a fragmented world, plus super-ports like Vizhinjam (Trivandrum).* Secure the Choke Points: Be ready, like the Cholas, to act decisively when a “Srivijaya-style” blockade threatens the common good.Hard power needs to come through the acquisition of a blue water navy: at least three aircraft carrier groups, one for the Arabian Sea (Hormuz), one for the Bay of Bengal (Malacca), and one in maintenance, refit and upgrades.Even though drones and missiles have rendered them less dominant than in earlier times, carrier groups are still important for air superiority and power projection. But an ever-more critical factor is “area denial” by nuclear attack submarines (SSBN) that can launch second strike nuclear missiles as part of the “triad”, of which India should have at least three to four. In addition, there should be at least a dozen silent AIP-equipped diesel-electrics for securing straits, and at least 6-12 SSN (possibly leased) to enhance blue-water reach.“The IOR must become an Indian lake,” said General Raj Shukla on X. I agree: Not as a territory of conquest, but as a sanctuary of trade, where India sits at the center, as the protocol provider that makes world trade work again, as in millennia past.1500 words, 27 Apr, 2026Here's the notebookLM.google.com AI-generated video about this article: This is a public episode.

"Of course BHIM is giving crazy cashbacks. That's where I pay my bills."That's not a BHIM fan but a product head at a competing UPI app.After demonetisation hit in 2016, India desperately needed a way to go cashless overnight. UPI existed but barely anyone was using it. Banks were dragging their feet and private players were too small and too few. So, NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) built an entire payments app in weeks and put the Prime Minister behind it. BHIM clocked 10 million downloads in just 10 days. But just as quietly, NPCI put it to sleep and the private players took the bait.Fast forward to today, PhonePe and Google Pay between them own over 80% of all UPI transactions. Two American-backed companies are winning on the very road NPCI laid, while the architect has 0.8% market share on its own railway.So BHIM is back. With MS Dhoni as brand ambassador, cashbacks flying left, right and centre and a stated goal of hitting 5% market share. But can a government app out-app the giants it created? And why is it back and why now?Rahel Philipose and Praveen Gopal Krishnan sit down with Arundhati Ramanathan, deputy editor at The Ken who wrote the original BHIM story in 2017, and Abhishek Madan, co-founder of Alt Inc and former VP of product at Paytm, to find out.Read more:- The unlikely story of BHIM, the upsetter of plans by Arundhati Ramanathan (25 January 2017)- NPCI resurrects its own UPI payments app dreams with Bhim by Arundhati Ramanathan (19 March 2026)______This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, share it with your friends, family and colleagues.

"The ocean doesn't just drown you; sometimes, it spits you out into something far worse."UPI – ankansharmishthabose@sbiBank Account Details: Name - Ankan BoseAccount No- 20391072480IFSC Code – SBIN0015986SWIFT CODE - SBININBBXXXSix strangers, pulled from the wreckage of separate violent shipwrecks, find themselves locked inside the suffocating, blood-red lounge of a rusted cargo ship. Outside, a massive cyclone is tearing the sea apart. Inside, the tension is deadlier. As the survivors wait out the storm with a silent, eerie deckhand and a praying cook, the terrifying reality of their isolation begins to sink in.To break the suffocating silence, the survivors begin sharing the harrowing tales of how they cheated death. The arrogant millionaire Vikram Bajaj, the calculated antiquities dealer Rakesh Singhania, and the clinical Dr. Alok Verma each unravel their own cryptic encounters with fate and survival. But the atmosphere turns to pure ice when the grizzled Commander Singh recounts the bone-chilling fate of his stranded vessel, the Jal-Dev. He speaks of a dead zone in the ocean, a rotting crew, and a slithering, unseen terror from the abyss—a Bhooka Samundar that hunted them in the pitch dark.What these survivors don't realize is that the real nightmare hasn't even boarded yet.Welcome back to the Bhay Originals universe, Bhay Vasis.

Retired FBI Agent Stewart Fillmore was trained to break down evidence to solve crimes and build cases. Here, he focuses on the forensics of the JFK assassination and the likelihood that the hole in the front of the late President's throat was an entry wound, not an exit wound as the FBI and Warren Report had concluded.Stewart walks us through the evidence he's gathered, and what it tells him about the nature of the crime. Importantly, his account aligns with the prior testimony of HBH guest Tosh Plumlee: Namely, that there was a shooter to the left front of the President's limousine, from the top of the South Knoll and that gunman was captured in photo taken by UPI reporter Frank Cancellare.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

The hunt has just begun, and what waits at the end of the alley... defies science.Welcome to the Bhay Originals universe.

2026-02-22 | UPDATES #138 | Massive blow for Russia — the Votkinsk strike.A bold, deep-strike into the heart of Russia's missile industry — Ukraine has hit the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant. It's a long-range, high-value operation that — if confirmed — could blunt Moscow's ability to replenish ballistic and cruise missiles.On the night of 20–21 February 2026 — Ukrainian forces say they struck the JSC Votkinsk Machine Building Plant in the Udmurt Republic, a core site that manufactures engines and components for systems including Iskander, Oreshnik and some larger strategic missiles. Kyiv's General Staff publicly stated the strike and confirmed some details, saying it used domestically produced FP-5 “Flamingo” ground-launched cruise missiles.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 56: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In destroying The Washington Post yesterday, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. Democratic leaders must commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially. Every would-be president, senator, representative must vow to break the oligarchs - Bezos, Musk, Trump, and all the rest. Bezos first hollowed out the Post to make it servile to Trump and his gang. Now he's destroyed its foreign and sports desks, and its viability as a counterweight to the anti-democracy forces abroad in the land. All so he could spend $75,000,000 or more on a vanity project designed to tell Trump a life: that his wife is an attractive "movie star." We are not going back to the America of 1885. We must bankrupt Jeff Bezos. (And I apologize for the slipshod nature of this episode. I'm under the weather, throat bad, was planning to postpone this episode but this could not wait. Please forgive for the extemporaneous nature of the commentary; the rest of the show is interesting but not new) B-Block (30:00) OLYMPICS TIME: As the 2026 games begin in Italy let me take you back to the most famous winter games yet: the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, which I covered as a 21-year old rookie with United Press International (while my bosses tried to teach me how to work and drink at the same time).
