Adani Group ki do bade bade leaders pichhle 6 se 7 mahine ke andar group ko chhod ke gaye hain aur wo dono ke dono ek hi company ko chala rahe the jiska naam hai Adani Cements. Ab ye do leader kaun hain, ek ek karke samajhte hain aur iska significance ko zara samajhna. Sabse pehle aate hain aapke Adani Cements ki CEO jo the yani ki Ajay Kapoor sahab jinhone apni career ki 30 se zyada saal Ambuja ACC ke liye kaam kiya hai. And inhone basically group ko kiya hai bye bye aur ye chale gaye hain Suzlon Energy ka CEO banne ka. To that is one. Second person that has left is basically Rakesh Tiwari ji. Rakesh Tiwari ji Adani Cements ke CFO the. Usse pehle wo CFO the Adani Airports ke aur inki dekhrekh mein hua tha ki Adani sahab ne desh ki saat bade bade airports ko acquire bhi kiya aur Navi Mumbai wale airport ko bhi poora banaya. Usse pehle ye the CFO of Adani Transmission jahan pe Anil Ambani ka Mumbai wala pura jo power ka business tha. Massive cash generating asset hai, us business ko inhone wahan se acquire kiya. And usse pehle bhi Adani group mein kaafi kuch kar chuke hain. In dono leaders ne basically group ko chhoda. Main aapko lekin ek dusra perspective yahan pe dena chahunga, thoda sa practically zara sochna. Business jo hai poora cement wala hai, ye ek phase mein inka ja raha tha jahan pe ye alag alag companies ko kharid rahe the and wo wala poora journey ab complete ho gaya hai. Inhone announce kar diya hum sabko merge kar rahe hain. Sanghi cement ho, Orient cement ho, penna cement ho, ACC ho, Ambuja ho, saare ghuma firake ek ke andar leke aa rahe hain. To acquisition ka kaam ho gaya. Ab hai in saare business ko consolidate karne ka, jiske liye zaruri nahi hai same to same skill sets lage. To kahin na kahin inke liye bhi wo wala role play karne ka jagah nahi rehti ki yaar ab major heavy lifting humne kar di, humein aur koi bada assignment chahiye. To probably ye bhi karan ho sakta hai ki ye chhod ke gaye ho. But nonetheless, two big heavyweights from the Adani group have quitted. That is no doubt a big big loss to Adani group. Kya aapko iske bare mein pata tha? Kya kisi ne aapko ye bataya? Comments mein batao.

I think Anthropic just had one of the most important days in their company's history. Let me explain. So two things happen yesterday. First, they shipped Claude Opus 4.8. And second, they raised 65 billion dollars at a 965 billion dollar valuation. Now Opus 4.8 is a real upgrade. It's four time less likely to hide its own coding mistakes and Claude code can now run hundreds of parallel agents in a single session. But the model isn't the biggest story in my opinion. This funding round is what I keep thinking about. See, Anthropic spent three years telling the world that AI might be genuinely dangerous and that they might be building something that goes wrong in ways that nobody can fully predict. That narrative was built over time. When every other lab was just selling the best models, they were priming us into believing that they have something which is even better. And that has attracted capital from the likes of biggest investors like Google, Amazon, Sequoia. Now some people also say that this entire too dangerous to release messaging is just pre IPO marketing, which is a fair read, but the outcome still remains the same. Anthropic is almost worth a trillion dollars today and then best models still isn't even out. Sources are claiming that Lord Mythos will drop in the next few weeks, which just seems convenient timing after the funding round has been secured. So do hit that follow button to hear my thoughts when it drops and I'll catch you guys in the next one.

This can only be done by Gautam Adani, no one else would dare. Mumbai handles 30% of India's entire air cargo. And it all comes from one airport. Gautam Adani said, I'm building a new airport in Navi Mumbai. I'm investing so much in the cargo terminal there. You're saying we won't operate from there? Why? Because there's no connectivity. How will we do it? So Adani said, the airport in Mumbai, I'm shutting it down. I won't handle cargo. Bye-bye to 30% of India's cargo. This happened in May. Because at that time, they said the airport would open in August. So they were told, boss, it will shut down in August. Then there was backlash, they saw the airport wasn't getting completed, so they took it back. Now, when the airport finally opens on the 25th, on December 25th, they've announced these things again. For 10 months, if cargo movement doesn't happen from Mumbai's main airport and starts from Navi Mumbai, what investment will other companies have to make there? They've already done it. They won't come back in 10 months. It's a very intelligent play. They are using their monopoly appropriately. Because they operate both airports. Mumbai's aviation ecosystem is facing a monopoly. This is how it looks.

A transshipment port is being built in Vizhinjam, Kerala, by Adani, which is also expanding. However, a question has been repeatedly raised since the beginning: why was Gautam Adani, a wealthy individual, given a subsidy of ₹1,600 crore for this project? This is not capitalism; it's a financial obligation. This transshipment hub has no profit margins, as it needs to offer better rates than Colombo, potentially resulting in losses for 10-15 years. This means the project was uninvestable by market standards, and no one was ready to invest. However, the project was crucial for the government. After all, over 75% of our cargo is handled in Colombo, Singapore, or Dubai. Why should we hand over the key to our supply chain to a neighbor? Therefore, the government said, 'We will provide Viability Gap Funding.' Did you know the real reason? It's not a subsidy; it's India's geopolitical insurance policy.
