@UMRAJ001@cardzbuzz@HDFC_Bank I reached out to my RM & he informed me that it was a glitch. They are not issuing these two cards currently, but I can get the Regalia Gold against FD.
Gurgaon hack is to drive to the office when govt issues an advisory to work from home due to heavy rains.
There are zero rains & the roads are empty. Best drive.
Call me a pessimist, but India will never be a developed nation. Politics and too much democracy, leave no chance for its rapid progress.
Once the phase of demographic dividend is over, the slide downhill will be quick.
The politics of votes is inhumanly hopeless and damaging.
funny thing, the product that made me want to start a d2c brand still hasn't launched.
it's not even a clenne product. sitting in a note, waiting.
the idea that starts you isn't always the one that carries you. wipes weren't the dream, they were the doorway.
wipes are a commodity. so is most of d2c honestly. anyone can enter. so the moat isn't one thing, it's all of them stacked. the name, the packaging, the formula, the feel. the reason someone picks you off a shelf of identical stuff.
i didn't start with a product, convenience is one of the most underrated things a brand can sell. services were impossible next to a full-time job so d2c it was. then covid made everyone reach for wipes, watched dude wipes on shark tank. category picked itself.
before clenne the shortlist was:Care&Co,simplessentials, Kayliya, Actiwipe, SoleUse etc.all of them died for the same two reasons. trademark already taken, or it just didn't feel like anything. naming is 90% rejection. you don't find the name, you delete everything that isn't it
1.5 years ago choosing a brand in a google sheet at 2am.
today: clenne's on blinkit.
knew nothing about formulation, listings, freight. just wanted something that was mine.
documenting it all from here. boring parts too.
Funny part is that paper leak is not even an issue that resonates with most people. Public is just angry and fed up with govt for a variety of reasons and had no outlet to express it irl. Now they suddenly got one and are making full use of it. If they somehow force him to fire his cabinet minister, it'll be like a dopamine hit and the size of the protests will triple.
The Prime minister should do an address to the nation & re-assure students how the examination system will be made robust henceforth. Take personal responsibility in ensuring this. The feeling of being wronged among the students is bigger than these overnight activists. The govt should acknowledge the sentiment. Let law deal with the miscreants. But do reach out to students & parents.
