Our sensitivities and sensibilities tend to define (and/or control) us much more than our ambitions and intentions. #TOTD

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

Sir. I think maybe I speak for a small but valid percentage of India when I say couldn’t care less what the congress did anymore. Let it go. India moved on. They are not in power for their deeds. We did jokes about them for years, we booed them at the commonwealth games, they were a punch line on this platform for years, they got voted out. That’s life. These kids giving exams don’t even remember a congress govt. Questions can only be asked of those in power. That’s not being selective, it’s just called living in the present. No one dealing with a paper leak cares about BJP/Congress or Hindu/Muslim or any partisan bullshit. They’re worried about the future.

"Due to extreme summer conditions,the water that we distribute evaporates on the way,which is why there is a water shortage in Delhi"

This is how CM Rekha Gupta justifies the water crisis in Delhi

I wonder how she can say such stupid things with a straight face

Chairperson CBSE is now Secretary Agricultural. What a tough action.

[Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats]

I'm never sure if transferring an official is a punishment to the official, or a punishment to the people in the area he gets transferred to.

[Alok Soni @AlokSoni]

@MobiKwikSWAT False promises. Already did all this a year ago. @RBIsays should investigate as @MobiKwik team is clearly incapable

[Alok Soni @AlokSoni]

Unfortunately @MobiKwik isn’t going to help in this regard. Neither @lendboxin nor @RBI helping. All the Xtra users are on their own. Lost a significant amt. @UpasanaTaku @BipinSingh it’s only fair to at least return the principal or announce that investors should write off this

[Subodh Haldar @SubodhHald15834]

What is happening @MobiKwik @lendboxin ? Where our repayment? Have you wiped out all the investors' returns?
We are waiting clarification from you @MobiKwik @lendbox

[Alok Soni @AlokSoni]

@MobiKwik @MobiKwikSWAT Has been absolutely useless support I've got in the past, no hopes. Show some genuine concern for users. Stop scamming people @RBIsays

[Shilpa Godbole @godbole_shilpa]

PM Modi's #MannKiBaat came & went without a mention of the NEET, CBSE & CUET mess.
Let's not pretend this is beneath the Prime Minister's attention. We have seen the full communication apparatus mobilised over far smaller matters. Photo ops, speeches, tweets & inaugurations for projects of purely local significance.
When millions of students are affected, however, the country is expected to accept silence.
Strange priorities for a nation that calls its youth its greatest asset.

[Abijit Ganguly @AbijitG]

Seriously is there any remotely optimistic news coming from anywhere with respect to how our country is doing? Inflation crazy high, petrol prices killing us, flight operations coming down and major cancelations by the duopoly, education at disastrous level with NEET cancellation and CBSE mockery, heat killing us because of crazy unplanned contracts & construction while cutting trees, media as always not giving a f**k downplaying 100s dying in cyclones till another country PM tweets about it, dowry deaths still happening at 15 a day, where is the hope? Where is the accountability? Kare kya bhai hum?

[Alok Soni @AlokSoni]

Absolutely! @MobiKwik has done nothing but shun the users whose money got stuck with @lendboxin /Xtra. Also, what’s the quantum of this 10%? It’s Mobikwik’s responsibility. @RBI has been equally ignorant.

[Aditya Shah @AdityaD_Shah]

🚨Mobikwick Xtra Fiasco-Who will help investors now?

Online Platforms sell anything and everything to get commissions,
Mobikwik, together with Xtra, kept selling bonds to customers,
Customers were lured the lollipop of 12% high returns.

These P2P investments were sold as
1. Fixed deposit type investment with higher returns
2. Risks relating to P2P were not known to most investors,

Many investors allege,
Investors attempting to withdraw their money—some with sums ranging from ₹91,000 to ₹4 Lakh—have found their principal amounts locked with no clear timelines for return.

Xtra experienced operational standstills following RBI regulatory changes, leading to several police complaints and FIRs

Mobikwik washed its hands off by saying:-
1. We are just the intermediary
2. Customers were aware of the risk,

Even if Mobikwik was an intermediary:-
Can Mobikwik wash its hands off?
Shouldnt thereby an investigation into the sales practises?

More importantly,
Who will save these investors?
Who will return their money?

Why doesn't RBI step in to clean up the fiasco?

[Joshi JI @JoshiJi_]

Funny how Some idiots are demanding accountability from a Insta meme account created 4–5 days ago, while spending 12 years defending a PM who has carefully avoided a single proper unscripted press conference. A random meme page hurts their sentiments, but unemployment, inflation, paper leaks, corruption, media control, agency misuse, and complete lack of transparency never bothered them. For them, questioning power is anti national, but blindly worshipping power is patriotism. That’s the level of propaganda addiction and intellectual collapse we are dealing with 🙂

[krishan sharma @krishan_sharmaa]

After reading @surjitbhalla ji’s article, I mapped India’s GDP growth across political regimes.

And I agree with him when he says-

👉BJP is winning politics decisively, but not economics at the same scale.

From 1999–2014, coalition governments took India’s GDP from about $459 billion to over $2 trillion.

From 2014–2026, despite a far stronger political mandate, GDP growth in USD terms appears slower comparatively.

This is not politics.
This is economics.

Our first priority as a nation is politics and not economics- we do not focus on economics 🙏

History shows:
Strong governments do not automatically create strong economic outcomes.

Sometimes politically “weak” coalition eras delivered stronger economic expansion than politically dominant eras.

In the end, elections are won by narratives.
Economies are judged by numbers.

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

In the near future, as this economic crisis unfolds, it’s going to be important for us to ask questions of our leadership. When you do, your replies and your timeline will be flooded with hate and attacks. Don’t take it personally, it simply means the question was a really good one. The quality of the question is directly proportional to the number of anonymous replies.

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

This is how Aaj Tak used to mock UPA and Manmohan Singh when Rupee was at 55 against the dollar.

Today, when it is 96+, forget mocking Modi, they can’t even dare report it.

This is what Modi did in 11 years, destroyed the ability and guts to question.

[Rahul Raj @x_rahulraj]

India is paying a huge price for governments, babus and ministers giving favorable treatment to a few business houses in all segments and creating hurdles for others

A promising product for the post-sales teams, @quivlyai.
Keep customers happy, grow accounts faster, and scale without adding headcount. All the best @Chandrika633

[Chandrika Maheshwari @Chandrika633]

Customer Success as a function won't survive AI in its current shape.

Most teams are still optimizing a job that's about to stop existing. Hiring more CSMs. Building more dashboards. Running more QBRs.

The work that adds value to customers isn't the work they're staffing for.

That's the shift we built @quivlyai for.

The AI workforce for post-sales.

[Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats]

If convoy sizes can be cut down overnight, then why were we waiting for an energy crisis to do it?

[Alok Soni @AlokSoni]

@shobhitic @sardamit Haha. Shobhit, the one we make is more of indori poha (or let’s say Malwa + Mahakaushal region combo). Fennel seeds instead of saunf, no heeng, and coriander powder (along with turmeric powder, salt) 😀

[Subodh Kolhe @subodhkolhe]

just give @Breethr_HQ a spin - @abhinavguptaIAQ is building a very special product 🤞
