"The Hindu" 's billboard presents a great stance against the VIP culture in India. Is this what you too think: How come rising fuel prices worry a single-car owner, but not a VIP moving in a 20-car convoy? But I am thinking 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀? There is something that "The Hindu" missed. Lets draw a line here for the people questioning a convoy of the head of a nation/state vs other VIPs in terms of threat perception, and security protocols. Security of a Head of State is not optional, symbolic, or designed for “show”. It exists because a single failure has the power to disrupt governance, shatter national morale, and trigger diplomatic crises. Those massive convoys aren't just traffic; they are highly calculated operations driven by live intelligence, sanitized routes, and strict anti-attack protocols. There is a vast difference in perspective: - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝘀: A long line of vehicles disrupting traffic. - 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗲: Potential attack vectors, live threat mitigation, and national responsibility. Criticizing these measures without understanding the stakes only exposes an ignorance of how national security functions. Lets raise the awareness!

Most cities try to solve litter with signs. “Don’t litter.” “Keep our city clean.” Sweden tested something different. A pilot program built a machine that rewards crows with food when they drop in cigarette butts. No lectures. No moral pressure. Just aligned incentives. Even birds respond to good system design. Founders: this isn’t about crows. It’s about this: If you constantly have to remind your team, your customers, or your market to behave a certain way… You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a system problem. Most companies say they want referrals. But their system looks like this: “Hey... if you know anyone...” That’s not design. That’s hope. If referrals matter, build them into the experience. Make the moment obvious. Make the reward clear. Make sharing frictionless. The best operators don’t rely on reminders. They design environments where the right behavior is the easiest behavior. Incentives > instructions. Where in your business are you relying on “please” instead of structure? #Mindset #PM Follow Namit Kumar Duggal

Today, I shut down my Microsoft laptop for the very last time. On my first day, I walked in dreaming to solve the biggest problems in tech, building products for the masses, and learn alongside some of the brightest minds. On my last day, I am walking out with lessons — especially for the new joinees(from colleges) starting their careers in uncertain times: 👉 Your worth is not defined by an org chart. 👉 The skills, resilience, and curiosity you bring will outlast any restructuring. 👉 The connections you build and the mindset you nurture will stay with you forever. To my network: as I navigate this transition, I’m grateful for your support and guidance. I’m optimistic about new opportunities to learn, build, and grow. If you’re also navigating change (whether you’re a new joinee or a veteran), let’s connect. None of us need to walk this journey alone. 💙 Here’s to resilience, community, and new beginnings. #Careers #Technology #Tansition #Networking #Layoff
