This could be the start of something big. Combine the EU and India, add Brazil and Indonesia, throw in Nigeria, Argentina, Japan and South Korea. Drive a common agenda (trade, tech, climate, security) through the whole thing. And you get the beginnings of a new geopolitical pole.
Long live India.
Long live the friendship between Europe and India.

ICYMI: Tech companies are investing billions to quickly construct tons of data centers. But they require huge #s of electricians & plumbers—sometimes 2-4x the membership of a local union shop. I wrote about how all of this is affecting local trade talent on the ground:

Climate and money are too often divorced in our imaginations, the assumption being that you can’t make money or properly run an economy and keep the climate from imploding at the same time. People who actually handle money for a living could tell you otherwise.
Nobody wants to admit to caring about the climate anymore, and yet clean tech financing is booming, making a mint for investors. Trump is betting the future on a shrinking pot. The smart money is going green.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
