Guys, I know that for genuine tourists, the amount of documentation required for a Schengen visa can feel insane.
But I think the context here is important. India is a massive country with huge economic inequality, and there are people who try to use tourist visas to overstay, work illegally, or immigrate through other routes.
So the genuine tourist ends up being clubbed into a much larger risk pool.
Most of us applying for a tourist visa simply want to go on a holiday and come back. But we're still a relatively small segment of the overall population.
It's frustrating, but this is probably the price we pay for the larger immigration risk associated with our passport.
For years, Ahimsa has earned the confidence of producers, cinemas and fans by keeping its word. When that confidence is threatened, we have a duty to speak up.
Deepa Iyer and Sudharsan Natesan once held positions of responsibility at Ahimsa. They used those positions to deceive the company and take more than ₹10 crore that was never theirs. The moment we uncovered it, both were removed.
They have not repaid a single rupee, and every bit of that money is still owed. We were not their only targets, and we refuse to let others walk into the same trap unaware. Neither of them has any link to Ahimsa, and we urge every producer, distributor, exhibitor and investor to keep them well away from their business.
They may have taken our money, but they cannot escape what they did. Karma settles every score.
Deepa Iyer and her husband Sudharsan Natesan were once part of Ahimsa. Several years ago, we discovered that they are frauds. They defrauded this company, lied to us repeatedly and took money that belonged to Ahimsa. Both were terminated as soon as we found out. The financial damage they caused was serious, and we are still dealing with it today. They have no connection with Ahimsa and they never will again.
We are not their only victims. They have done this to other people and they will do it again. So we are making this completely clear: do not work with Deepa or Sudharsan. Not now, not ever. Do not hire them. Do not partner with them. Do not invest with them. Do not give them money or access to your business under any circumstances. They are dishonest and they cannot be trusted.
If you know anyone in the industry who might come into contact with them, share this with them. Everyone needs to know.
IndiGo plans to pull out of several routes from Navi Mumbai as per the latest available schedule for Winter 2026.
Routes to below cities are suspended:
🔹 Thiruvananthapuram
🔹 Siliguri-Bagdogra
🔹 Kannur
🔹 Jharsuguda
🔹 Visakhapatnam (transfer to Mumbai)
🔹 Ghaziabad-Hindon (transfer to Mumbai)
🔹 Jabalpur (transfer to Mumbai)
🔹 Kochi (suspended for November)
🔹 Madurai ( suspended for November)
Routes which see capacity decrease (with some freq transferred to Mumbai partially)
🔹 Mangaluru
🔹 Jaipur
🔹 Goa-Mopa
🔹 Chennai
🔹 Patna
New routes and capacity increase:
🔹 Jodhpur (new route)
🔹 Lucknow (1 → 2x daily)
🔹 Nagpur (1 → 2x daily)
The trend seems to be against the direction the airport operator would like it to be and with reports about capacity shifting to NMI to accommodate BOM T1 rebuild, the schedule will likely evolve.
Hi @svembu
Arrattai needs to become something WhatsApp cannot easily replicate.
In case if you are not considering this strategy. You can consider this as well.
My 5-point strategy:
1. Privacy-first — No ads, no selling user data, India-first data residency.
2. Arattai Business OS — Connect Arattai + Zoho CRM + Books + Inventory + Desk.
3. Payments + Mini Apps — Chat → Discover → Order → Pay → Service, all inside Arattai.
4. AI + Meetings — Private AI summaries, translation, tasks, CRM automation and 250-person meetings.
5. Creator ecosystem — Channels + subscriptions + commerce + direct audience ownership.
Don’t position Arattai as “Indian WhatsApp.”
Position it as:
ARATTAI — Talk. Work. Pay. Build. Privacy-first communication built in India for the world.
WhatsApp has the network effect.
Zoho has the business ecosystem.
One private communication platform.
And the underlying Zoho ecosystem becomes:
Arattai
→ Communication
Zoho CRM
→ Customer
Zoho Books
→ Money
Zoho Inventory
→ Products
Zoho Desk
→ Support
Zoho Meeting
→ Collaboration
Zoho Analytics
→ Intelligence
This is the strategic advantage Meta doesn’t naturally have.
Turn that ecosystem into Arattai’s moat.
The goal shouldn’t be to get people to uninstall WhatsApp. The goal should be to make Arattai useful enough that people start opening it every day—even while WhatsApp remains installed.
