Karnataka charges the highest road tax (2.5x the national average),so that bbmp can dig up the same road 5 times a year. Bangalore’s infra is worse than a tier 3 Indian city.

@vaibhaw_vipul model building has always been easy. value lies in turning models into data products that drive economic impact. It's about understanding the business context, integrating with systems, and iterating based on real-world feedback. You will always be paid handsomely for that.

@sourav_bz They have tried in coimbatore. It works well for long distances but not for short distance. Getting to a atomic network takes a lot of resources. Also if it is open-source, who will be the customer support? Who will check for driver’s authenticity? It’s not that uber and ola are

@sourav_bz are extremely profitable firms. Even after all these years they have been loss making. eventual goal was to remove the need of having a driver through self driving. Which looks unlikely to happen in the near future (uber atg is done, and tesla looks the most likely to pull this)

@nishanth_who The loans for IIMs are extremely cheap (6-7%), which is as good as it gets in the current market. As for where the money goes - Professors salary(check salary diff at iim vs iit), PhDs, guest lecturers (expensive), and infra (Top IIMs have solid infra).
