Rise with the Sunrise: CBG

15 February 2026, Mumbai   Rise with the Sunrise: Compressed Bio-Gas and India’s Emerging Green Economy In every developing economy, certain industries initially appear futuristic and ahead of their time. Some of them fade away, but a few evolve into what we call  “sunrise sectors. ” After a period of incubation, these sectors become significant contributors to economic growth. India has witnessed this journey with Information Technology, Telecom and Modern Retail. Today's sunrise sectors are tomorrow's  dominant industries or mainstream economy staples. Today, sectors such as  Semiconductors, Solar Power Generation, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Millet-based Food Products, Green Data Centres, Green Warehouses, Technical Textiles and Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG)  are fast emerging as the new sunrise sectors of India.  While the underlying technologies have existed for decades, mainstream adoption is now accelerating.

Battle of Generations, Mumbai

 4th January 2026 Battle of Generations - Mumbai’s time is “NOW”.. Mumbaikars’ tryst with democracy is on 15th January when voting for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), asia’s richest governance setup takes place. This is a golden chance for voters across all generations like boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z to elect a set of corporators who could solve their basic problems, and address aspirations optimally. Although each generation’s priorities would be different – from modern infra to lesser corruption to transparency to communal harmony to environment to preserving linguistic identity or track record or diversity-equity-inclusivity to futurist (looking ahead).  This heady mix of generations and their priorities makes it a lot difficult for political parties to make a common denominator of promises, and put them on their voting platter. Hopefully, the intelligent ones will be able to make a good & believable platter of promises. Less of freebies and m...

Moment of reckoning, Mumbaikar

 Mumbai. For some it is a city of dreams and glamour, some had "haadsaas (accidents)", many made a "good life" out of it, few made generational wealth while enduring here. So what is this Mumbai exactly? Is it a home to slums or glossy sky-scrapers, curvy-flyovers or is it a thriving economy, or a culture or a simple habitat? Maybe all of that. Most importantly, it is like a sea of wealth!! With every incoming wave it brings wealth to many, and with every outgoing tide it erodes wealth of a few! This “sea of wealth” has been a relentless attraction for majority of its inhabitants. For ages and Generations. All socio-economic classes thrive on that sea of wealth : the ultra-mega-super rich to neo-rich to upper middle-class to middle class to lower middle-class to financially constrained. This sea of wealth gives rise to aspirations to each of these classes – every moment. All of these classes have a symbiotic relationships with each other, and that's how this ci...

वाट दिसू दे गा देवा..

२४ जुलाई २०२३ वाट दिसू दे गा देवा .. धनंजय   मधुकर   देशमुख ,  मुंबई       काही वर्षांपूर्वी "जाऊद्याना बाळासाहेब" गाजलेल्या मराठी चित्रपटात एक गाऱ्हाणे गीत होते..   "वाट दिसू दे गा देवा वाट दिसू दे वाट दिसू दे गा देवा गाठ सुटू दे"   ईश्वराला (देवाला) अत्यंत आजर्वतेने व अगतिकतपणे केलेले हे एक गाऱ्हाणे! वैयक्तिक जीवनात म्हणा की कौटुंबिक किंवा सामाजिक जीवनात, अनेकदा अशी परिस्थिती येते जेव्हा समोर काय वाढून ठेवले आहे, काय घडणार हे जाणण्याची अधीरता असते पण काहीच दिसत नाही, संकेत मिळत नाही.   धुमशान कोसळणार्‍या पावसामुळे कसा डोळ्यासमोर पांढरा अंधार होतो तसेच काही झाल्यावर अशी अगतिकता निर्माण होते, आणि आपसूकच मनात शब्द येतात " वाट दिसू दे ..".     राज्याच्या राजकीय मैदानात सुद्धा आज असाच काहीसा "पांढरा अंधार" साठलेला दिसतोय. २०१९ मध्ये एक चुकलेली वाट, राज्याच्या राजकारणाला आणि राजकारण्यांना अश्या गडद जंगलात घेऊन गेलेली आहे जिथून वाटा अनेक निघतात पण कुठली वाट खरी आहे हे कळायला कठीण जातेय.   ए...

YE "Ecosystem" Kya Hai?

14 April 2023, Mumbai YE "Ecosystem" Kya Hai? Today, Indian m edia is abuzz with claims and counter claims on the encounter that happened in UP. Some Writers, Journalists, advocates, politicians, debaters, social media influencers making commoners believe that this was a staged encounter. No wonder if an NGO file up a PIL for setting an enquiry committee to validate the encounter (like in many other cases). A few days later some legal expert, educationist, celebrities may react emotionally, and some filmmaker may make a film showing him being martyred. Obviously this is to lead the commoners to the old trap that a part of the society in India is victimized. Media will play to the gallery as usual. A very old ploy. This is not the only incident. A few months earlier, a small firm based in the USA called shots to cause one of the steepest falls in the fortunes of the one of the world’s richest people, who happened to be an Indian! We saw, how passionately some students were c...
