Welcome back to Season 4 of Truth Shots with Kapil – the season where we’ve promised to rip off the band-aids, burn the PR handbooks, and tell stories that make people squirm. If Episode 6 was a brutal takedown of corporate lies with PepsiCo’s CFO Kaushik Mitra, Episode 7 takes us into the beating (and […]
Trump just dropped the mic on globalization with a $100K H1B visa fee. Let’s be honest: this is less about jobs and more about misplaced bravado. The logic seems simple — make it unaffordable, save jobs. The reality? Those same jobs will be done from India, Vietnam, Eastern Europe… anywhere but the US. America loses […]
There was a time when America exported democracy like Coca-Cola and lectured the world on human rights. Today, it exports chaos—and unlike Coke, there’s no zero-sugar version. The killing of Charlie Kirk isn’t just a tragic headline; it’s the rotten fruit of years of political violence in America spewed daily on American airwaves. The political […]
It’s official: from September 22, 2025, the 56th GST Council, led by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has done what we thought was a fantasy—slashing GST on individual health and life insurance premiums to 0%. That’s right, the 18% that inflated your policy cost is now zero. This is being seen as a landmark move under […]
There was a time when Israel had the sympathy of the world. Holocaust survivors, surrounded by hostile neighbors, a tiny nation fending for its very existence. David is fighting multiple Goliaths at once. That story is dead. Gaza Israel Conflict: From Resistance to Elimination Two years. That’s how long Israel has unleashed relentless war on […]
Welcome to Season 4 of Truth Shots with Kapil – where we don’t decorate conversations with buzzwords, and we don’t serve watered-down truths. We serve them raw. Episode 6 was a masterclass in career reality-checks. My guest, Kaushik Mitra, is the CFO of PepsiCo India and South Asia. A man who has spent decades in […]
Remember yesterday’s blog about how social media giants arm-twisted Nepal into revoking its ban? How it wasn’t the people winning, but Silicon Valley flexing its power over a small nation? Well, that was just Act One. Act Two is here, and it’s far darker. Nepal has now spiraled from tech addiction protests into something resembling […]
So Nepal tried to stand up. It asked Big Tech to do something as basic as opening accountability offices—something India, Brazil, and every large economy already forced them to do. The platforms didn’t like it. What followed wasn’t democracy, youth power, or freedom of expression. It was straight-up corporate muscle. Let’s not romanticize it. This […]
So, Uncle Sam has thrown another tantrum – US tariffs on India and Indian goods. It’s the diplomatic equivalent of a schoolyard bully demanding your lunch money. Only this time, the “kid” being targeted – India – isn’t scrawny anymore. We’re bulked up, confident, and not particularly impressed by the bully’s biceps. The American playbook […]
Another woman killed by her husband and in-laws in UP. Another breaking news ticker. Another panel discussion. Another outrage. And tomorrow… nothing. We’ll scroll to the next meme, the next cricket score, the next “India is shining” propaganda. But here’s the truth nobody wants to hear: This isn’t just one murder. This is the systematic […]
