@FinoPaymntsBank I have received a series of SMSes informing me of opening an account with your bank. However, I did not initiate any such requests. I want to report this and put a stop to whoever is attempting to open an account by assuming my identity or phone number.

@AjeyGore Yes @AjeyGore , cluster of rpis and hdds is what I'm using to host my personal cloud for now. Among other reasons, lack of trust and concerns of security kept me from going with the popular out-of-box NAS solutions

@flipkartsupport Shared the order ID via DM. I hope you can work with me to come to a better resolution to the issue.

@Flipkart @flipkartsupport After spending an hour talking to your customer support with no resolution, I'm questioning what is even the point of your 'Open Box Delivery' when your delivery agent outright denies opening the box

If there is indoor stadium in Bangalore why is there no Bangalore Stadium in Indore? Any explanation?

I strongly believe that all managers in a technical area must be technically excellent.

Managers in software must write great software or it’s like being a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse!

@SwiggyCares The issue was eventually resolved. But you folks wasted almost a 100 minutes of my time waiting and trying to explain to your various customer care representatives. Just the pain to go through so many customer care people forces me to move to @zomato. So goodbye.

[Sumit Das @6ameDev]

@swiggy_in you gotta treat your customers better and compensate for wasting their time when you mess up. "We can't do anything about it other than cancelling and issuing refund" isn't gonna cut it. Moving to @zomato

More companies should make it fun and prioritise health of their employees

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

We are running a fun health program at @zerodha. Anyone on our team with BMI <25 gets half a month's salary as bonus. The avg BMI of our team is 25.3 & if we can get to <24 by Aug, everyone gets another ½ month as a bonus. It'd be fun to compete with other companies 😁 1/3

What else would you add?

[Sumit Das @6ameDev]

@pankaj013 @VernekarD @vikramadhiman Whichever aspect suits them, Indian startups will adopt it cause it's the 'standard' :)
