Tech has always been political, and now days there is hardly any State visit without a tech related deal being signed “to advance bilateral relations” between two countries. And such was the case this week, where PM Modi announced that UPI will work in Israel. That is, if you really want to send money to Israel.

I want to make it clear that I use my platforms to also deliver messages on key social causes, some of which big content creation houses are too afraid to speak up about.
