Hey
@livemint
please know that I will NEVER become a subscriber as long as Manu Joseph is a contributor.
If I have to explain why, then you don't deserve my money or time.
I'm just one person and don't really matter, but consider that I might not be alone in thinking this.
This is devastating not just for Paytm Payments Bank, but Paytm.
If my understanding is correct, para 3(iv) will result in Paytm having to suspend its offline merchant business as well (merchant QRs, PoS machines, etc.)
Just got judged for being married to a woman taller than me... by the very chatty health insurance tele-verification person 😂
"lekin kaise"
"are you sure ki she's 5'9""??
I would pay for this recording.
VC/ startup folk need to stop with their 'we must rise above politics' takes. Your n00bness is showing. What we need is more people being actively political, not the opposite.
No transit remand.
No access to her counsel.
Remanded to police custody in violation of law and procedure.
This is state-sanctioned kidnapping, not an arrest.
With her permission I’m sharing the FB post by Senior Advocate Rebecca John. She raises some very serious points regarding the arrest of the young climate change activist Disha Ravi.
If anyone tells you that credible sexual harassment allegations will derail a privileged man's career, please ask them to go suck an egg.
This world sucks.
College should be free.
Sounds radical? It already is in many countries. And many of the best public/state universities used be free in the US until as recently as the '80s!
Don't own a two wheeler, but if I bought one it would likely be an Ather. 👏 Exactly the kind of reassuring, detailed comms you expect from a mature company.
Non-metro airports are such a pleasure to use. No crowds or queues, no long walks to the gate, and everyone is so relaxed. Makes you realise how much of the stress and pain of air travel is solely because airports are overcrowded.
My YouTube Premium subscription ended abruptly because of an expired card, and I just remembered how many ads YouTube has😳.
If you use YouTube a fair bit and you can afford it, the Rs. 139 a month it costs is a superb investment.
How the fuck has the oxygen supply situation in Delhi still not been fixed?? This is nothing short of a crime, and from the facts emerging from the hearings in the Delhi HC and the SC, the Centre is responsible.
At least 5 Delhi hospitals that I know of will run out of OXYGEN by midnight. From what I'm told, the authorities are well aware which ones.
Avert further unbearable tragedy.

RIL's legendary ability to 'anticipate' and leverage regulation continues:
21 June: DoT amends telco licenses to make WiFi calling (aka VoWiFi) possible
5 July: JioPhone 2 launched during RIL AGM, specifically advertising VoWiFi support
Happy birthday to my favourite adult in the world

No more appropriate way to ring this in than to spend it at a beautiful beach. ♥️
Hey
@IndiGo6E
I received an email last night that I had cancelled one leg of a return flight. Except I didn't do it! Your customer care claims I logged into the website and followed a 3-4 step process to opt for cancellation, which is impossible. Please fix this now!
Fuck anti-vaxxers, especially those who say 'some vaccines are good, but...' and plant the seed of doubt in pliable minds.
Really hope the health ministry and health reporters in the media counter this narrative effectively.
experts are saying coronavirus is the worst pandemic of our time? thats cute. i think ur forgetting about summer of 1999 when the entire executive board of did acid and decided to make desi Friends
Hearing credible reports that mobile internet has been suspended in some parts of New Delhi. Utter madness - this normalising of blanket internet bans to stifle dissent needs to stop.
All of us have complex feelings about WhatsApp now, but it's worth remembering that it's an engineering and design marvel. Extreme reliability in challenging environments, and stark simplicity. That's why it succeeded in a crowded field, and revolutionised mobile communications.
Sick of this 'judiciary is the last hope of the common citizen' narrative. It isn't. It's highly flawed and for every judgment that seems progressive and well reasoned, there are many more that are regressive or just plain wrong on the law.
The internet makes small organizations far stronger and large organizations far weaker.
Instagram shows how much you can get done with a few aligned people. And the government shows how little you can get done with millions of disaligned people.
By this point, if you look for insights about southern politics from 'New Delhi' publications and accounts, you're the fool.
Just read

Smart of Poonawala to leave India - this govt will try to blame him in the coming weeks instead of owning up responsibility. Better to be a comfortable scapegoat abroad than one under direct physical threat.
India May face vaccine shortage for the next few months. Capacity will increase to 100 MN doses only by July. “There were no orders we didn’t think we needed to make more than 1 billion doses a year,” said

A couple of good friends are starting up, and looking for kickass engineers.
It's a fintech startup building for blue collar workers, and they're attempting something that hasn't been tried before.
Please DM if interested and I'll put you in touch! RTs also appreciated.
Got an 18+ vaccination slot for 9am at a PHC thanks to
@sowmyarao_
's lightning fingers. We've been waiting since 8am, but they've just told us that they won't be doing 18+ vaccinations because 'the govt hasn't sent them supply for 18+'.
Just received the most incredible early birthday present ever from partner-of-the-decade

Sowmya has been a star forever, but this particular phase in her journey has been the most incredible. Trust me - this thread only highlights a fraction of the crazy difficult things she's done in the last 3 years.
Stop inviting bros on your pods and panels, invite her instead!
Ahead of women's day, here to drop some W: 🌟🌟
In the last year:
1) Sold my startup, acquired by a fantastic company in our vertical, made some money (FINALLY) and now have the AMAZING TITLE OF "Director of Payments".
2) Gave birth a few weeks ago - BABY SMILED AT ME TODAY.
If I were FB, I'd use
#tiktokbanindia
as an opportunity to build my first app focused on India. Insta is not going to attract stranded TikTokers - you need a dedicated short video app built from the ground up for markets like India. Do what G did with GPay - build for India.
@Ravisutanjani
People's credit scores can also be low for other reasons. For eg. lawyers find it hard to get credit cards and loans because they're usually not employees, and lenders hate giving money to lawyers. Makes it hard to build credit history and score remains low.
