Bharti Airtel and Ericsson just dropped a silent bomb on India’s digital future.

But what sounds like a tech upgrade… might just be a preview of India’s next business battleground.

A thread on what no one is telling you about Airtel’s new 5G move

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it later.Image
India has 850 million internet users.

Yet 44% of rural India still suffers from poor broadband.

In Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, people wait minutes to load a 30-second video.

That’s the real battlefield Airtel is entering — and this time, they’re not using fiber.

They’re using airwaves.
Enter FWA – Fixed Wireless Access.

What is it?

Imagine broadband delivered through air, not wires.

No messy cables.

No digging roads.

Just high-speed internet beamed straight into your home through 5G towers.

And now Airtel wants to make this the new normal.

The cement industry in India is worth over ₹10 lakh crores.

But did you know that just 5 states in South India dominate the entire market?

Let’s break down the regional power structure of India’s cement empire:

A thread that’ll change how you see bags of cement forever:

In a country where every metro, flyover, and skyscraper is booming…

South India quietly controls 32% of the nation’s cement production capacity.

Yes, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, and Kerala together are the biggest cement bosses of India.

But the story doesn’t end there.
Rajasthan alone accounts for 12% of India’s entire cement capacity.

One state. Nearly 1/8th of the entire nation’s output.

If cement were an election, Rajasthan would be the swing state deciding the winner.

Nestlé wanted to sell coffee to Japan.

They spent millions on ads.
Hired the best marketers.
Perfected the product.

But no one bought it.

Until one French psychologist cracked the code.

And changed a nation’s taste forever.

Here’s how Nestlé manipulated memory to sell 500,000 tons of coffee a year

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it laterImage
Let’s rewind.

Post World War II, Nestlé had a clear goal:

Create a coffee culture in Japan.

The product was flawless.
Well-packaged.
Great taste.

But sales were dismal.

Why?

Because coffee wasn’t a drink. It was a stranger.
The Japanese weren’t rejecting the product.

They just had zero emotional connection to it.

Traditional marketing kept shouting benefits.

But no one was listening.

So Nestlé tried something wild.

They hired Clotaire Rapaille a psychoanalyst trained in consumer emotion, and cultural imprinting.

How India 🇮🇳 is going to witness the Mother of all Bull Markets by 2035?

According to McKinsey, these 10 sectors are about to explode.

Some by 6 to 10x in the next decade

This is not just growth.
This is history being written

Over the next few years

India will add up to $5 trillion to its economy

That’s like building another India inside the current one

But this time it’s not just IT and outsourcing

This time we’re building chips, rockets, energy and AI

These 10 sectors are about to define India’s next decade
Sector 1: EVs and Batteries (6 times growth)

India is already the third largest car market

But electric vehicles are the next ₹40 lakh crore wave

Tata, Ola and Mahindra are building the vehicles

But the real money is in lithium, charging infra and battery recycling

One startup here could power 10 citiesImage

India has 1.3+ Crore kirana stores.

For years, they ruled the FMCG universe.
Then came quick commerce.

Brands shifted focus, margins squeezed, and kiranas got ignored.

Now? The giants are crawling back.

Here’s why ITC, Nestle, Coca-Cola, and Parle are tapping kiranas again:

Let’s rewind.

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it laterImage
General trade (aka kiranas) makes up over 90% of India’s FMCG sales.

But last year, brands hit pause:

They cut stock levels to kiranas

Pushed offers on Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart

Offered deep discounts online, but not offline

Result?
Distributors revolted.

Margins shrank.

And brands risked losing India’s strongest retail backbone.

Quick commerce might be fast.

But it’s not loyal.

If Zepto changes margins or Blinkit demands exclusivity, brands lose power.

With kiranas, the relationship is old-school: volume-driven, stable, and hyper-local.

75% of Indian middle-class families are just one hospital bill away from poverty.

Every 3 out of 4 Indians do not have life insurance policies.

Most Indians buy health insurance but don’t know what they’re entitled to.

Not because they’re careless.
Because no one tells them.

However, IRDAI has issued 11 key rights that every policyholder is entitled to.

Check how many you know (and the hidden exceptions):

A detailed thread 🧵👇Image
1. Right to Lifelong Renewability

Your insurer cannot deny you renewal just because you're older, have made claims, or developed a new illness.

Exception: Only if you commit fraud or hide information on purpose, they can refuse.
2. Right to Portability

You can switch to another insurer and still keep your waiting period benefits.

Exception: The new insurer has the right to reject your port request after evaluation. Best to port when you’re young and healthy.
