Billionaire Bryan Johnson, who wants to 'live forever', has a message for Indian techie bragging about working till 4 am
Bryan Johnson
has offered some stern advice to an
Indian techie
who bragged on X (formerly Twitter) about working until 4 a.m.
'It's 4 AM guys, but builders are building. What's your excuse?' the techie posted.
Johnson replied: 'It may feel heroic, but you're spending down your human capacity. That posture reduces
brain oxygen
by 30%. The blue light suppresses melatonin, fragments deep sleep, and blunts next-day
insulin
sensitivity. The missed sleep raises cortisol, increases visceral fat, and decays memory.'

Another added, 'Whatever they are building now by staying awake will be built by an AI agent in 10 minutes five years from now. What's the point?'
A third said, 'The excuse is to feel good, rest, be healthy, and make better decisions. Sure,
working late
can sometimes be fun, like a night out—but it should be special, not routine.'

His routine includes a variety of health and wellness practices, some of which might appear unusual to the average person. He begins his day by measuring his inner ear temperature and using various biohacking tools like the BP (Blueprint) hair serum and a red light cap.This is followed by exposure to 10,000 lux light to help wake up his body, and then he proceeds with a shower, washing out the serums from his hair.
He then moves on to a regimen of longevity-based nutrition, including a 'Longevity Mix' and a combination of protein, collagen, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and berries. This is followed by a comprehensive supplement stack aimed at enhancing overall health. Afterward, he engages in a physical workout session that focuses on strength, balance, flexibility, and either Zone 2 or High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

‘Half way through our journey to become a global airline by 2030:' IndiGo CEO Elbers
NEW DELHI: 'I know the opportunity is huge. The only thing I don't know is how huge.' This is what co-founder Rahul Bhatia had three years back told Pieter Elbers, then KLM president. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now That was the time the domestic market leader had set its sight on spreading its wings in the international skies. Last week, IndiGo started its first flights to the UK and Europe using wet leased (hired with pilots) wide body planes and will now grow its long hauls aggressively. After Jet Airways' collapse in April 2019, Air India was the only Indian carrier with twin aisle aircraft in its fleet for nonstops across the world. 'You find Indian travellers all over the world. But for very long, (a vast majority of them) have been deprived the opportunity to fly an Indian operator,' Elbers, who joined IndiGo as CEO in Sept 2022, told TOI after the inaugural Mumbai-Amsterdam flight touched down in his home country. In the last 2.5 years, Bhatia and Elbers have been executing a strategy to change this. Asked where is the airline in its plan to become a global airline by 2030, he said, 'We're half way through. ' The post-Covid travel boom made desi carriers realise they needed to get a bigger slice of the international travel pie to and from India. This was enabled by the mega Tata Group acquiring Air India & AI Express in Jan 2022 and well-capitalised IndiGo deciding to replicate its domestic success in international skies along with a big boost in the country's airport infra. 'The fact that we are touching down now in Europe is a big thing because of a number of firsts for us — flying long haul, serving hot meals and having stretch on international flights. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So it is much more than just two new destinations in Europe. It is the start of a very new chapter in the book of IndiGo. When IndiGo started in Aug 2006, Rahul Bhatia had a certain vision and he created that (making IndiGo India's biggest domestic airline),' Elbers said. Three years back when he met Elbers, Bhatia started making moves to replicate IndiGo's domestic success in the international market too. Their ambitions were on the same trajectory as that time Elbers was looking to be part of something that had the potential become really big. 'All the things we have been doing (since 2022) were building blocks to making IndiGo a global airline. These steps are not just individual or random. They are all part of a holistic plan.' These 'building blocks' include starting Stretch (or business) on some domestic flights since last Nov 'we have some experience in serving serving (premium) customers when we go to Europe. The loyalty programme was started to have corporates and SMEs on board,' he said. The focus on internationalisation comes from an aspirational India's prowess as an economic giant with a booming GDP, middle class and spending power. 'When IndiGo was was created 18 years ago, there was a vision and there was a relentless execution of that vision. What we see now (international growth) is, I believe, a bit similar to what we had seen then.' IndiGo currently has one wet leased Boeing 787 from Norse Atlantic which is being used on the Mumbai - Amsterdam and Manchester routes. It will get three more B787s this calendar year and then two early in 2026. The Dreamliner routes announced so far include London and Copenhagen. The airline expects to start getting its single aisle Airbus A321XLR (extra long range) from this year which will be used for routes like Athens, Delhi-Bali and southeast Asia. The closure of Pakistani airspace meant Mumbai got the first two flights to Europe as flights between Delhi and the west are much longer these days. When the Pakistan airspace opens, Delhi will also get flights. 'You have seen our network over the past few years. How we expanded at both Delhi and Mumbai. And even Bangalore and Hyderabad. We're not a single hub operator. We have multiple origins — Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore. They all have their own kind of focus areas, and and even even natural flows.' IndiGo has 30 wide body A350s on order whose induction will start in 2027. Given the fact that aircraft delivery delays continues due to supply chain constraints, will IndiGo wet lease more wide bodies to augment its international capacity. 'We are not ruling out any opportunity or any chance. We keep looking and keep evaluating options,' Elbers said. IndiGo has seen a large number of its Airbus A320 grounded for years due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues. The peak aircraft grounding number on this count was 79 and the same is down to 30s. Then post Covid supply chain challenges meant slower deliveries of everything right from planes, engines, seats, components and parts. 'Overall, we still have supply chain challenges. But our big order book (IndiGo was yet to receive 916 of the ordered Airbus planes as of last month) helps us average out deliveries. I don't want any delays, but the reality is what it is. I still hope and am cautiously optimistic that we'll have our first A321XLR before the end of this calendar year,' he said. While North America is on IndiGo's radar, the CEO says he will first like to 'make sure that we are well positioned in Europe. There still are parts of Asia where we don't have any operations like Japan, Korea. And there's Australia too. With our partners Delta and, we will connect passengers to 20 North American cities (from Amsterdam),' he said.

India-US trade deal: Industries prepared for trade talks outcome, national interest in focus; says CII President
India-US trade deal: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) President Rajiv Memani emphasised that the Indian industries are prepared for any outcome which is proposed after the bilateral trade talks between the United States and India, reported the news agency ANI on Sunday, 6 July 2025. Memani also said that industries will not pursue deals that are likely to compromise the national interest. The Indian government consulted industry stakeholders before entering trade negotiations with the United States. 'The Indian government has given considerable time to understand industry concerns, issues and opportunities. Every industry, every size of industry has been consulted to understand how India should be positioned,' said the CII President, cited in the agency report. The executive also shared that India is not compelled to conclude the trade deal with the US at any cost until the deal is in the interest of both nations. 'There is no doubt that India will only do this deal when it is in India's interest and America's interest. Until it is not in the interest of both countries, this deal will not happen. There is no compulsion in this regard,' Memani told the news agency. The CII President also pointed out that Indian industries will only support the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) if it offers them favourable terms compared to those of the other countries affected by the Trump tariffs. 'The 26% tariff that has been imposed will come down, and industry will get opportunities to operate there. We will remain more competitive compared to other countries,' said Memani, according to the agency report. Acknowledging that certain sectors like automotive will face difficulties if the trade deal doesn't provide a suitable outcome, Rajiv Memani highlighted that automakers in Mexico would be the primary beneficiary with the nation's tariffs at a near 0% level, making them the 'most competitive.' 'The maximum alternative replacement will come from Mexico, with some possibility from Vietnam,' he said, according to the agency report. Vietnam has a 20% tariff deal with the US, making it 'slightly less competitive' than Mexico compared to India's 26% tariff. The CII chief's assessment cited in the report suggests that the existing trade relationships can harm India's competitiveness. 'Many American companies may also invest in India to export from India. Indian companies will also have to focus on their competitiveness,' he told the news agency, suggesting that the government may need to implement reforms and support measures to help the domestic industries become more competitive in nature. CII President Rajiv Memani also highlighted that India needs an average nominal GDP growth rate of 10% annually to achieve the Viksit Bharat target by 2047, reported the news agency PTI on Sunday. 'India would require an average about 10 per cent nominal growth to achieve the Viksit Bharat vision,' Memani told the news agency. The nominal GDP of a nation is the total value of goods and services produced in the nation, determined by measuring the current market prices. This nominal GDP data is without adjusting the values for inflation, unlike real GDP data. Memani was appointed as the President of the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) on 1 June 2025. He expects both the nation to finalise the trade pact shortly and remove the uncertainties looming over the market due to the negotiations.
