Most Indian vehicles aren’t even E20 compatible ..yet Nitin Gadkari ji is forcing 100% ethanol norms on us!
We the people pay full price for our vehicles + we pay road taxes, insurance, tolls, GST on vehicles, parking, GST on spares, basically or lot of money for everything that one can think of! And yet in return we get Pathetic roads, mostly terrible infrastructure, traffic jams and now fuel that destroys the engines and kills mileage of our vehicles!
Meanwhile we all know that most sugar mills owned by netas & their families and it is their linked companies that are minting crores from ethanol distilleries.
Let's cut out the BS, this is a straight-up Ethanol Scam! And while we INDIANs have to pay a price & yet suffer, these netas profit and make money! Also say if one wants non blended fuel instead of this nonsensical E-20, E-30 or E-100 why can't we be given that?

Today might be my favorite day building @sifthubhq.
Because this is the launch our customers kept asking for.
Today, we're launching SiftHub Pulse.
There's a moment in every enterprise sales call when a buyer throws a curveball the rep doesn't have an answer to, and the rep says what every rep says, "Let me get back to you." And we know what happens next, the deal loses momentum, the urgency goes away and the buyer's confidence drops.
We call it dead air, the gap between a buyer's question and the rep's answer. Those six words have probably killed more enterprise deals than any competitor ever has.
Almost every customer we spoke to shared a version of the same problem, and added, "The SE can't be on every call."
Somewhere along the way, we've normalized dead air.
A few months ago, we decided to change that. We decided that reps shouldn't have to leave a call to find answers. Because the answer to almost every buyer question is already somewhere inside the company, it just never makes it to the meeting when it's actually needed.
So we built SiftHub Pulse.
Pulse listens to live sales calls and surfaces sourced, contextual answers on the rep's screen the moment a question is asked, tailored to the deal in front of them: the account, the competitors involved, previous commitments from your team, and more.
And I'll admit it, watching Pulse in action on a live call still gives me chills! SiftHub already powers sales and presales teams at Saviynt, Quickbase, Parloa, Sirion, and many more. We are seeing some teams now handling 30-50% more deals with 5-10x faster sales processes and seeing win-rates increase by 15-30%.
It's one of those products that feels obvious the moment you see it. If you'd like to bring Pulse to your sales calls, reach out to me or the team. No more dead air.

The national high school exam of India, CBSE, has been Pwned!
This incompetent organization continues to deny the allegations against them. And a teenager has taken over their prod servers hosting the exam booklet scans of 2M test takers. They have just taken it down.
All they had to say is "can you help us fix the problem?" but their ego is too big to admit they were wrong.
Incompetence is one thing. The complete lack of accountability to the nation while your servers get catastrophically owned is another. Internet-scale embarrassment.
A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M+ students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks.
He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down.
This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter.
This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed.
This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered:
- the master password leak
- the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround
- tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values
- changing any password without knowing the old one
- an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks
For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below).
If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.
Whether the cockroach janta party is a legitimate movement or not, is not the question. Time will tell. But the traction they received, the sentiment behind it, the rhetoric from the youth, all legitimate. And if all that wasn’t legit enough, the utterly dumb move of shutting down their accounts legitimised everything.
A technical yes feels like progress.
So why does the deal still slip?
The POC worked. The demo landed. And somehow, you're still stuck in a follow-up loop, re-explaining things that were already decided.
Marco, Timo, and the team at @parloa_ai have lived this. And they're going to talk about it.
Join @Neil_Parekh for 'The POC Hangover' on 29th April at 3 PM BST/ 7:30 PM IST, a virtual session for SEs who are tired of winning the room and losing the quarter.
Spots are limited.
