This is a great paper and provides insights on the role of gig work in India, Indonesia and Kenya

Suchir Kalra (@pixelatedSuchir) and his mother called on me today, and I am in utter shock at what power asymmetry between consumers and large corporations can lead to. The trauma they are enduring is a stark illustration of how companies like BSH India (Bosch Siemens) @boschindia@Neerajbahl05@siemens_press@SiemensHome_In use their immense influence to silence customers who voice their concerns. It is nothing short of corporate bullying to sue them for INR 2 Crore over a straightforward refund request of just INR 5,685.
By leveraging their extensive resources, these companies seek to suppress anyone seeking redress for paid, unfinished services. Rather than resolving a simple customer complaint, they retaliate with legal threats and proceedings. This is a flagrant abuse of authority; an unrelenting tactic to intimidate consumers and shut down any form of accountability, leaving ordinary people and consumer class vulnerable, powerless, defenseless, and exposed to corporate power/influence @jagograhakjago@BoschGlobal
He had his demons, but they never stopped him from searching for beauty. Because when you find beauty, you find inspiration. That is, if you stay determined.
Never stop, no matter how many failures. When you know you're doing what you're meant to do, you have to keep trying.
One doesn't expect to get from life what one has already learned it cannot give. Rather, one begins to see that life is a kind of sowing time and harvest is not yet here.

@ARanganathan72 Israel is killing innocent people in the shadow of killing "some terrorists". They don't even have a count of the innocent lives lost.
Your thoughts are shameful!
How would you feel if your loved ones become just another collateral damage?
@abhiandniyu "The opposition will get a chance" waah! Look at you urging your favourite party to prove your opinions correct but also doubting them heavily 😂

@smritiirani A good leader would have continued to commit to serve people.
A good leader would have had the humility to accept people's mandate, would have accepted that they probably failed to do what people really needed.
But here, look at you taunting and blaming people! Sheer arrogance!
@khanthefatima@dhruv_rathee You deserve it all and more! Thank you for all your work. Grateful to have journalists like you who are bringing out the truth when the majority have sold their souls.
Perhaps "NotAllMen", I sincerely hope "NotAllMen" but certainly #AllWomen have faced at least one unwarranted instance where a man, stranger or known, has ruined their day through no fault of their own. Ask the women around you. AllWomen!
