@MoCA_GoI Huge thanks to the @MoCA_GoI and @rammohannaidu for their swift intervention! @IndiGo6E senior team has stepped in, successfully reinstated the 8mo infant, corrected the name for free, and fixed the itinerary. Consumer rights protected!

Thought to try new London-Delhi #Indigo flights, booked for my sister-in-law & her 8mo son. Requested a date change & the @IndiGo6E phone agent changed it for a fee. Happy? Not yet. New ticket shows only 1 person. The infant was completely WIPED OUT from the system! 1/3

@MoCA_GoI Thank you for your reply.
I've DM you please.

Publish or Patent?

Researchers publish to advance science.
Companies patent to protect innovation.
Some keep their best technology secret.

Samsung: 106k+ patent families
Huawei: ~62k
IBM: 38k
Google: 23k+
Rolls-Royce: 21k+

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

Meanwhile, SpaceX reportedly relies heavily on trade secrets for core technologies.

Three different philosophies:

Publish → Patent → Keep it secret.

If you discovered something revolutionary tomorrow, what would you do?

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

@IndiGo6E Checked with the travel agent, they say they will contact airline first and then update me, after 24 hrs.

I hope the "necessary refund" is full involuntary refund, at least. Otherwise, I'm prepared to escalate.

Strange, PNR is still showing active flight status for a single pax

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

@MoCA_GoI Thank you for considering.
Please share the outcome with me.
I hope the customer will not be punished for airline’s mistake. Thanks

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

Confidence isn't believing you're unstoppable.

Confidence is trusting the science, the process, and the system you've built.

Jet engines never stop amazing me.

Nickel-based single-crystal superalloys (γ–γ′ microstructure) have melting temperatures around 1300–1600°C, yet turbine inlet temperatures can approach 1800°C.

How? Not by the alloy alone -

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

The same applies to life and business.

Success rarely comes from talent alone. It comes from systems, discipline, continuous learning, teamwork, and execution.

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

@IndiGo6E … Your team deleted a paid baby from the system and then demanded money to fix it.
This is an absolute consumer fraud and you deserve a lawsuit. Worst service EVER. @MoCA_GoI @rammohannaidu @DGCAIndia

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

@IndiGo6E Thanks Angad. But after 5+ hours on 20+ calls, 40+ emails over a month, and endless empty promises, I can’t trust @IndiGo6E.
I have no patience left to talk. You have my details. Either issue a full involuntary refund or rectify the ticket for BOTH passengers immediately for free

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

Flight is in weeks. A nursing mother can't board an international flight while her baby is entirely erased from the system. @IndiGo6E refuses to honor the paid booking/provide involuntary refund. Urgent help needed: MOCAV/E/2026/0003659 @MoCA_GoI @rammohannaidu @DGCAIndia 3/3

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

Old ticket is gone. New ticket has ONLY the mother. The 8mo baby is on NO ticket at all! @IndiGo6E admitted the agent error on recorded logs, yet they lied to the Ministry on CPGRAMS claiming the baby is "auto-adjusted" while demanding AED 488 to put him back on! 2/3

@JBlog911 @elonmusk Someone ask @grok to rebut line by line

[Rakesh Kumar @DotRakesh]

@JBlog911 @elonmusk Cheers, enjoy your ignorance 🙏
