Humour or marketing?

Acknowledging your partner Jensen Huang style. During his GTC Taipei keynote, the Nvidia founder opened with a giant slide displaying almost 150 partner logos, as he acknowledged the companies that help build the chip giant’s AI infrastructure.

Huang announced that he wanted to thank every partner individually and proceeded to walk across the stage, stopping to pose for photographs with each logo.

As the exercise stretched on from one partner to next, the audience started to erupt in laughter, as the sheer size and reach of the world’s most valuable company became apparent.

Better late than never

When the stock exchanges are executing orders in nano-seconds and trade cycles are being attempted at T+0, an administrative warning letter dated May 25 by the capital market regulator SEBI to ICICI Prudential AMC was received through email on June 2 and the disclosure was made on June 3.

Though there was no major breach, people are wondering whether there was a slip between the cup and the lip.

Wheels of virtue

Austerity can be a demanding virtue. Especially when there are cameras around.

This week, Delhi’s favourite visual was ministerial car-pooling. With the Prime Minister urging curbs in government expenditure, several Union Ministers duly arrived for the Cabinet meeting in shared vehicles, producing exactly the sort of images that communications teams dream about and television channels happily replay.

The moment, however, proved short-lived. Ahead of a conference the following day, organisers hosting a senior Union Minister reportedly received a request that no photographs or videos be taken during the Minister’s arrival or departure.

Cameras would be welcome, but only once the guest of honour was safely inside.

The instruction may well have been routine. Yet its arrival so soon after the public celebration of shared transport has given Delhi’s professional eyebrow-raisers plenty to chew on. The obvious question, whispered rather than spoken aloud, was: what exactly was not meant to be photographed?

After all, if the arrival was entirely unremarkable, why the concern about who might be watching the driveway? In the Capital, where optics often enjoy a longer shelf life than explanations, the request has generated more curiosity than the event itself. Some journeys, it seems, are meant for the cameras; and some are best left out of the frame.

Unperturbed

The Sangh Parivar didn’t seem perturbed over the happenings in Tamil Nadu’s BJP. A little bird said it took over 90 years for the parivar to ascend to power in Delhi.

“Probably, we will get another one better than Annamalai?” the little bird said.
