India's cricket team secured a decisive victory over Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup, while former Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko was detained attempting to leave the country, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a significant user base in India, according to reports on Sunday. Additionally, Kathmandu saw large crowds for the Shivaratri festival, and Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun startup accelerator program continues to be highly selective.
India's cricket team defeated Pakistan by 61 runs in a Group A match of the Twenty20 World Cup, securing their place in the Super Eight stage, as reported by Al Jazeera. Ishan Kishan's impressive 77 runs powered India to 175-7 at the R Premadasa Stadium.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) detained former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko while he attempted to cross the border, Euronews reported. The detention followed a corruption scandal that led to his resignation last November.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that India has 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users, making it one of the company's largest markets globally, according to TechCrunch. Altman made the announcement ahead of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. OpenAI opened an office in New Delhi in August 2025.
In Kathmandu, Nepal, thousands gathered at the Pashupatinath Temple for the Shivaratri festival, Euronews reported. The festival, which honors Shiva, saw crowds praying, singing, and dancing, with a rare legal allowance for marijuana use during the event.
Finally, Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun startup accelerator program remains highly competitive, with an acceptance rate of less than 1%, TechCrunch noted. The program, which now accepts startups of all types, runs for 12 weeks in San Francisco and has two cohorts a year, accepting around 50 to 70 startups. Joshua Lu, the program's general manager and a partner at a16z, stated that the focus will be on San Francisco from now on.
