Between Har Ghar Jal and 'Luxury Litigation': A Question of Water Quality
The Wire is run by a non-profit foundation and we need your support to keep our newsroom running.
Why water quality isn't a luxury
By Dharmesh Shah The top court's framing inadvertently imposes a problematic binary - basic water access versus water quality. In that, the logic is a bit like saying we should stop inspecting the safety of buses because some people still walk long distances to work. Or for that matter imagine telling the people of Haryana or UP worried about air pollution that their concerns are elitist because Delhi breathes even dirtier air.
Will Asia confront production or compromise the future?
The problem is that this growth is not aligned with sustainable demand trends. It is increasingly driven by fossil fuel overproduction, feedstock arbitrage (producing plastics in low-cost regions and exporting them globally, regardless of actual demand), and an industry push to create demand for materials that the world doesn't need. The waste trap For too long, global policy has treated plastic pollution as a downstream issue -something to be managed only after it becomes waste.
Delhi’s airpocalypse needs more than band-aid solutions
Quick fixes are politically convenient – they create the illusion of action without challenging powerful polluting industries. As I sat down to write this piece from my home nestled in the hills of the Western Ghats in Kerala, I had to try hard to summon a memory of the sharp sting of Delhi’s air on a bad air day. Unlike the residents of Delhi, I do not have a daily lived experience of pollution, but I have visited the city often enough to witness its impact.
Africa: Plastics, Power, and Politics - the High-Stakes Fight for a Global Treaty
Kerala, India — As the fifth round of negotiations of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) for a global plastics treaty concluded in Busan, South Korea (25 November-December 1 2024), the meeting underscored both the complexities and the promises of multilateralism. What we saw in Busan was indicative of other environmental treatymaking spaces, including ones on climate and biodiversity.

Enhancing Quality of Life: Integrating Yoga into an Integrative Healthcare Model

A.I.: Is It A Terrifying Competitor Or A Terrific Tool?
I posted this on twitter today. Read the following sentence: You are competing with A.I. [now reflect for 5 sec on what this means] There are two ways you may have interpreted this: 1. You are competing *against* A.I. 2. You are competing *using* A.I. Which did you pick?
Adobe + Figma: Match Made In Heaven, Process Made In Hell
News came out today that after over a year of regulatory review, the $20 billion Adobe + Figma acquisition is not going to happen. It would have been a great outcome for both companies. But, alas… The Adobe + Figma deal was a match made in heaven…with a process made in hell. I don’t have a lot of experience with M&A, but HubSpot did recently complete its acquisition of Clearbit recently, so it’s been on my mind. M&A is already really, really hard to get right.
A Simple Decision Framework: Debate, Decide and Unite
Across the 17 years of HubSpot, one of the most challenging projects I’ve worked on— and the most valuable, involved writing code of a different kind. It was the HubSpot Culture Code a slide deck we shared with the world a decade ago (in 2013) that describes our culture. The deck is 128 slides long. But despite that, it’s been viewed over 6 million times. But, this post is not about the culture code deck — it’s about a new, related project I’m working on called the “ HubSpot Guiding Principles”.

One of the more richly debated topics amongst SEO experts is the Google Sandbox.
The One Thing Google Got Wrong With Its New Gemini AI Model
Google recently shared an announcement about its new Gemini large language model. It looks cool. And the benchmarks seem impressive. But right now, that doesn’t matter. Not to me, and not to thousands of AI developers that are building products. Why? Because Google got one thing wrong when it comes to releasing an AI platform. They didn’t actually release the APIs for developers to build with. So, I can’t just go to a website, get an API key and start trying things out.
Sam and OpenAI Team Are Back! More Surprise Developments!
Late last night (Tuesday around 1am), I saw the (literally) late breaking news. tl;dr: Sam Altman is back as CEO of OpenAI along with key members of the team. Let’s start with the post from OpenAI itself. We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
Thoughts On The OpenAI Rollercoaster From A Fellow Founder
About two days ago on Friday November 17th, like so many others, I read the news that OpenAI had fired its founder and CEO, Sam Altman. Like so many others, I was shocked — and incredibly sad. Over the years, I’ve talked to my son (who is 12) about OpenAI and Sam Altman all the time. He uses ChatGPT pretty much every day, and he feels like he has a personal connection to Sam through me.
What Is Agent AI And Why All The Excitement?
If you hang out in A.I. circles, you’ve probably run into the term “Agent AI”. Even if you don’t hang out in A.I. circles, you’ve probably still run into Agent AI. And, you may have wondered, what exactly is Agent AI and why are the people that are excited about it so excited about it? A Term Is Born Anytime there is a new term that starts to get used in tech, one of the challenges is that nobody really knows what it means.

Lessons From The Unlikely Story of HubSpot

NGOs’ business activity puts charity on backseat, taxpayers should watch out Original
Educational institutions, including medical colleges, are exempt from taxes if they are registered under section 10(23C) or section 11 of the I-T Act. Yet, they are allowed to charge fees for offering their services to the needy. Though such fees is intended to recover their operating costs, at times, these activities generate profits. These profits, if used again for charitable purposes, are also entitled for tax exemption.
In Tamil Nadu, a Glimpse of What ‘Control’ Means in ‘Pollution Control Board’
Representative photo: PTI We are all aware of the phrase “rules are meant to be broken”. When thinkers first envisaged it, it was meant to convey the fact that sometimes a rule may not ensure a good or fair outcome and could thus be broken. But we are witnessing quite the opposite in Indian environmental governance, where good laws designed to protect the environment and human health are being broken with impunity.
Why India Should Join the High-Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution

This will be the first of five meetings to be hosted under the aegis of the UN Environment Assembly between 2022 and 2024, following up from its March 2022 resolution.
The NGT’s Tightrope Walk on the Yadadri Thermal Power Plant
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court pronounced its judgement in a near-decade-old petition concerning a 3,600 MW thermal power plant of the IL&FS Tamil Nadu Power Company in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu. The key contention in the IL&FS case was that the project developer carried out a rapid Cumulative Impact Assessment instead of a detailed one, which the National Green Tribunal (NGT) deemed illegal and grounds for canceling the project’s environmental clearance.

Does Marketing Really Matter? (8 Benefits That Show It's Critical)
Many small businesses don’t think they “do marketing,” or need to “do marketing.” In fact, around 37% of small businesses in a survey of 500 small businesses don’t have a website to market their products and services. The basis for this line of argument for many of them is that they’re too busy trying to get customers through the door to be bothered about “fancy marketing.” However, marketing is a more effortless and surer way to bring in the business they want.
Smart to aim for 17500 if it holds support at 16800; Bank Nifty may soon head towards 37300; SBI and TCS store best bets
By Dharmesh Shah The NSE Nifty 50 index started the week with a negative gap (17172-17009) and traded volatilely guided by global indices. However, supportive efforts emerged from the lower consolidation band (16800) on a few occasions, which allowed the index to recoup intra-week losses. As a result, weekly price action formed an inside bar as Nifty hovered within last week’s trading range of 17415-16825, indicating choppy consolidation amid stock-specific action.
Reliance Industries, SBI, TCS, ITC Among Top Stock Picks; Nifty unlikely to break 17200 support

Broader market indices performed in tandem with the benchmark, with the Nifty midcap and small cap losing 1% each.

As a result, the weekly price action formed a bullish candle bearing a higher high, indicating the resumption of the uptrend as the index resolved above the two-week consolidation (17440-17000). Going forward, we expect the Nifty to extend its northward journey and head towards 18100 in April.
Nifty could hit 18,000 in the coming months on cooling in the VIX, crude oil; buy RIL, SBI, Infosys to pocket the winnings
By Dharmesh Shah On the expected lines, the Nifty 50 index has resolved higher and approached our target of 17300. The weekly price action has formed a strong bullish candle carrying a higher high-low, indicating the continued positive bias.

The biggest challenge will be to implement highly ambitious recycling and reuse targets in a country where various existing waste management rules haven’t been implemented.

Photo: Reuters/Anushree Fadnavis In her budget speech, Union finance minister Sitharaman expressed a need to expand the scope of the single-window green clearance portal, called ‘Parivesh’. A single-window clearance system will hasten processes designed to rationalise – perhaps even delay – ecological destruction caused by human activity.
