Quick notes: Electronics makers | Battery swap...

  • Indian Made Electronics: A mere 700,000 electronics manufacturing jobs have been created since Make in India started. Skilled workers such as industrial designers are in short supply, and there isn't yet much of a supplier network providing crucial components such as batteries, semiconductors and processors. "India is not there yet. But things are beginning to fall in place."


  • MNCs ripping off: A CPU purchased from an Intel Authorized Distributor costs 2.6x as much as the same would from a reseller in the U.S


  • Capitalizing on trade war: “There is one other monster country that has a huge domestic market, India, but they have got to get moving. There is no time to waste in catching that new wave and in fact the question is: Have they already missed it?"


  • Free battery swapping: Chinese EV maker Nio is waiving the fees for something that could be a real selling point in the EV market: battery swapping.


  • T.N.’s first public electric bus: The vehicle will be operated on a ‘battery swap’ basis and can run a maximum of 40 km with a fully charged battery.


  • Hindu girl in Japan: 15 yr old Japanese Girl Nadya Chants Rudram by heart in perfection ( Sathya Sai Baba Veda Poshana )



  • Indumathi D: The woman scientist behind India's proposed neutrino observatory


  • Urdu, the other colonial language: Put this on the agenda next -- replace Urdu with Kashmiri


  • K-pop in India: With the expansion of Korean culture, many Korean stores are coming up.


  • Millets: superfood to tackle malnutrition: After having lost out to commercial crops such as rice, wheat, and corn in the past, the resurgence of millets can also be attributed to the fact that they are climate resilient. 


  • American Factory: The film perfectly captures the escalating workplace cultural divides between the American workers and their Chinese managers: A Chinese worker asks a visiting Chinese-speaking US colleague if workers in Ohio really get eight days off a month, telling him workers in Fuqing production lines only get one or two days off a month, and work 12 hours a day.
