FIRES, STAMPEDES, PAPER LEAKS.
Unease of living in India proven by this tragedy in Delhi's Malviya Nagar.
The citizen has been left hanging by the state. Unforgivable.
@sandipsabharwal Everyone wants to become rich in short duration of time and to achieve this goal they take bribes so top to bottom everyone is corrupt
More than 20 people killed in a tragic fire at a Hotel in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi
Now all the norms that were flouted will come out, the owners will be arrested etc, which is fine
However how are norms violated systematically. It is only due to extreme corruption that exists in India. How could norms be flouted so blatantly unless there were payoffs to the Municipal Authorities?
सब गोलमाल है!

#BREAKING: Indian nationals will no longer require a transit visa when traveling to another country with a layover at a German airport. The lifting of the so-called airport transit visa requirement for Indian citizens was announced in the Federal Law Gazette (Bundesgesetzblatt) on June 2, 2026, and takes effect on June 3, 2026.
The Delhi High Court's reasoning hinged on three specific factors: Hindware being a coined mark rather than a generic term, its well-known trademark status, and Google's alleged active role in suggesting and auctioning the term through its Keyword Planner.
“Remove any one of these, and you return to the MakeMyTrip outcome from 2024, where the Supreme Court said competitive bidding on non-coined marks is fine,” she said. “So no, this does not mean every brand in India can drag Google to court. But some of them should be looking.”
In March 2024, the Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea by MakeMyTrip against Google, ruling that competitors bidding on a registered trademark as a keyword on Google Ads does not constitute trademark infringement.
In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement.
The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware.
This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade.
Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us.
This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise.
There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it.
But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword.
The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic.
This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur.
While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher.
Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.
@drm_dli@RailwaySeva Why Railway Approved water cannot be sold by all the vendors at railway stations. Again I visited same stall & yesterday & nothing changed vendor was selling Nova & Divya Jal water for Rs 20 instead of railway approved water which only cost Rs 14
@RailMadad I am at Shakur Basti (SSB) railway station & all the vendors on platform 3-4 & 5-6 are selling Divya Jal water bottle for Rs 20 and not selling cold Rail Neer bottle at Rs 14. Can you please register a complaint & take action at the earliest
You are telling all this as if Zomato is very clean & ethical company. Zomato is totally fraud company just fooling customers with higher prices, overcharging, levying extra charges & zero customer service....
I have heard of a Zomato loophole which is so simple, terrifying and Zomato should be losing sleep over it
A person orders 1 roti on Zomato. ₹40.
Then he calls the restaurant directly 6 rotis, paneer butter masala, malai chaap, dal makhani, gulab jamun and pays them on UPI.
Tells the restaurant to pack everything with that 1 roti Zomato order.
The Zomato rider picks it up. Delivers home. No clue that ₹1,200 of food is riding shotgun with a ₹40 order.
He’s using Zomato’s app. Zomato’s rider. Zomato’s entire logistics network and paying zero commission on 90% of his bill.
It’s cheaper than booking directly from Porter and restaurant.
The restaurant loves it. Full margin, no 25 to 30% Zomato cut.
The customer loves it. No platform fee. No surge. No GST on the hidden portion.
Zomato? Quietly subsidising the entire operation.
And here’s the part nobody’s talking about this isn’t one rogue customer. Restaurants are in on it. They may be whispering this tip to regulars to keep them off the app.
If this spreads, the unit economics of food delivery don’t just dip they bleed out from the inside.
Zomato needs to plug this loophole. This is exploitation of the system. Zomato MUST do something to stop this.
Have you seen this happening in your area?
Corruption is at its peak in all the Government departments in India whether it is central or state government or local municipal bodies. Situation is really worst at ground level but @narendramodi@PMOIndia keeps on talking about Developed India by 2047 which is ridiculous
Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:
Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.
On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.
He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.
If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.
Madness of showing #1 every week between business channels is next level. Not sure what they want to prove and to whom. Stupidity only #zeebusiness#cnbcawaaz
ICICI has stopped fresh flows into its passive multi asset. This fund has a big chunk of Naren's money. A pity, given how much potential it has.
Reason: Not fitting into any category. Concerning: Will be merged/wound up after 3 yrs!
Redemptions allowed.
Feeder fund route, just got harder. LRS is best.
