@sabeer you know why that happens, stakeholders treat themselves as kings , delegate the jobs and never get involved on the ground, hence you get flavor of twi India's
@SaralPatel We saw this firsthand at the inaugural Bharat Tex Expo 2024. Despite going in with strong expectations, it turned out exactly as the gentleman described more of a mela, which amusingly also means exhibition.
@sabeer Great, finally you got it. I did see you trying hard daily to decode, I too thought ', it's not my problem ". Ironically that's how we are bought up, high population so many things happening on a daily basis, we get programmed to move on, else you hear "apna kam se matlab rakh"
Imagine building a brand, getting everything ready… and then your VAT registration gets rejected with no reason. That’s us today. No VAT number = no marketplace access. Transparency shouldn’t be optional. @HMRCgovuk
@sabeer Agree, India does not lack creativity or talent. It lacks a system that genuinely rewards it. Good mentorship and honest support can make a huge difference by helping talent grow instead of forcing it to struggle against the system. Some industrialists are trying this.
You can't make complaints about smart meter installation appointments cancellations, no option on webform @BritishGas
Apparently there are technical faults engineers call drops and they cancel appointments leaving the customer waiting. @BritishGasHelp
@sabeer Hard work is not the issue people are generally hardworking. The issue is social norms: when poor behaviour is visible, it becomes normalised and others tend to copy it, reinforcing the pattern through social conformity rather than individual intent.
@sabeer Part of the reason may lie in deeply rooted social hierarchies that place too much value on status and too little on humility and mutual respect.
@TJiMTS HMRC is ridiculously slow in VAT registration. I know a brand applied three times and HMRC keeps rejecting applications for vague reasons. One key point to note this brand sells zero vat items and needs vat registration for trading with mainstream retailers.
@prakdadlani MOQ problems exist across Indian manufacturing because suppliers stick to make‑to‑order. If they move to make‑to‑stock, someone has to bankroll that inventory. At the end of the day, it's just risk vs confidence. Competition vs Collaboration.
Can someone give advice on the prompt for illustration of the car with a driver in Hindustan Ambassador , @ChatGPTapp , @grok both creating images with the driver on the wrong side. Cars in India are right hand drive, drivers should appear on the left of the image.

- Honest political parties can cultivate a more honest society by promoting civic education, enforcing anticorruption laws, and modeling ethical leadership.
- Dishonest parties can erode societal trust, normalize corruption, and weaken democratic norms.
