We did it, @CNN. We crossed 600M with 5 days to spare.

Yes, We have a long way to go, but over the last 5 years here’s a *few* things we’ve done:

1. Created the world’s largest government fintech rails. Ask @Google, they want to take it to the US.

2. Got 500M people bank accounts #JANDHAN and achieved near universal banking coverage through rural banking correspondents and #AePS.

3. Brought 750M people online with the world’s cheapest data rates. 2 yr @airtelindia subscription cost = 1 month @ATT cost.

4. Built 150M toilets in homes to achieve almost 95% toilet coverage in 2020 from 40% in 2015. #SwachhBharatMission

6. Achieved 100% rural electrification in 2020 from 55-60% in 2010.

#india
7. Working on an ambitious tap water coverage program that has taken us from 17% to 42% coverage in just 2 years. We will get to 100% soon. #jaljeevanmission
8. Executing on one of the most ambitious highway building programs in the history of mankind at 36KM per day.

As I said, we have a long long way to go, but the show’s about to get even more exciting. Buckle up, @CNN.

Thread on test match viewing experience in India, using our trip to Pune yesterday to watch India and South Africa play:

1) My family belongs to what marketers call the Sec A1 segment, besides being lovers of Test Cricket.
(Cont'd) @bhogleharsha @chinmaybhogle @NorthStandGang
2) We bought the most expensive tickets available on the ticketing platform, and started from Mumbai at 530am to make sure we reach Pune in time.
3) We were made to park our car 1.5KM away from the stadium in a dusty ground.
(Cont'd) @bhogleharsha @chinmaybhogle @NorthStandGang
4) When we reached the stadium, we weren't allowed to carry our binoculars or hand fan - archiac security laws.
5) My mother is diabetic and keeps a snack / water with her at all times - she wasn't allowed this privilege.
(Cont'd) @bhogleharsha @chinmaybhogle @NorthStandGang
