25. AIR 121, UPSC CSE 2025. LAMP ‘23. Public Policy. Forever nerd.

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

AIR 121, UPSC CSE 2025. Certain victories are not yours alone - they are the manifestation of the collective goodwill of family, friends, teachers, and colleagues.

Truly grateful and I hope to learn and do better every single day I am in service :)

@MyntraSupport The response is basically a non response. You’ve extended your response timeline till 20th June without any explanation of why the delay is occurring.

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@myntra @MyntraSupport have been trying to get a return picked up for 4 days now. There was no attempt to pick it up, yet your app says, “Unsuccessful attempt”.

There is no way to talk to a human - what sort of new age scam is this to disable return and not refund money?

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@MyntraSupport @MyntraSupport I have shared this in DMs. For the record, despite no attempts to contact me, yet again, the pick up attempt was listed as unsuccessful on the app

Refund the money and enhance customer experience

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@SwiggyCares Hi, I suggest doing your work sometimes as an org, so you can expect these delays. Because they happen LITERALLY EVERY TIME. So, thanks no thanks, you give a pathetic Rs. 100 coupon which nobody wants

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@SwiggyCares should be sued for harassment. One hour of placing an order and neither does the timer get updated nor is the order delivered. The support is a bot giving pathetic responses and refusing to connect to human. I truly hope they pay for this

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@SwiggyCares For the record, nobody from @SwiggyCares responded in chat. Someone called from @SwiggyCares who was extremely rude and said it was a non-issue. As I said, this is exactly the service you guys provide.

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@SwiggyCares @Swiggy has stopped taking any accountability for its delivery partners. No movement to pick up the order, missed orders - and the chatbot gives unhelpful responses. It is a pathetic service taking customers for granted.

#swiggy

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@SwiggyCares Hey, this is absolutely the sad service that is your USP. Have DM’d

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@Swiggy @SwiggyCares should have strict action against them. No accountability for partner not delivering orders or not moving towards location. Chatbot responses unhelpful and unwilling to connect to humans. Hope this pathetic service has an example made out of them.

This is exactly the question I’ve been unable to answer. If #Claude makes software engineering and other fields redundant, then where does the economy get the money from to sustain these #AI models? Companies running only on AI will sell what to whom?

who’s gonna buy your subscriptions then ?

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

Almost always a nobody founder of a nothing company that absolutely no one cares about, who is adamant about working during time-off to prove how important the enterprise is.

I’ll die on this hill:

Even on vacation, you and your team should still check in periodically.

2 minutes.
Quick peek at Slack.
Quick scan of Gmail.
Anything urgent? Handle it or route it.

If you completely disappear, you simply don’t care.

Tell me I’m wrong.

[Amrit Mahapatra @_amritastic]

@arunbothra @arunbothra sir, not to forget the multiplier effects on economy due to a functioning public transit system. Residents in peripheral areas can access opportunities seamlessly leading to distribution of fruits of inclusive development. Profits can’t be seen in silos!

@sudhikaushik Mehbooba Mufti as the CM of erstwhile J&K state

[The Quantum Hub @tqh_policy]

In August this year, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 was passed. The Act promotes e-sports and online social games while comprehensively banning all forms of online money games. The Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) has since released the Draft Rules, 2025 for public consultation.

At The Quantum Hub (@tqh_policy), we’ve submitted our recommendations to help ensure that the Rules balance accountability with innovation - enabling legitimate enterprises to comply confidently while continuing to create safe and engaging gaming experiences.

💡 Our key recommendations:

▪️ Clearly distinguish between online game service providers (OGSPs) and online gaming intermediaries.

▪️ Define where gamification ends and online gaming begins, and clarify whether indirect partners (e.g. sponsors) fall under the OGSP ambit.

▪️ Adopt a self-declaration and deemed approval process for non–money games, with defined timelines for registration and recognition.

▪️ Limit the definition of “material changes” to monetisation shifts that could turn a game into an online money game.

▪️ Clarify permissible monetisation models, including whether user participation fees can fund e-sport prize pools.

While the Draft Rules mark a commendable effort toward a structured and responsible framework, addressing these ambiguities will be key to ensuring regulatory clarity, consumer trust, and sustainable growth for India’s gaming and e-sports industries.

Went out this morning and saw a thick layer of smog at 11 AM; eyes burning and throat itchy ever since - idk if there is an improvement but it is not nearly enough.

If not for work, I’d not be in Delhi rn because it is a serious health hazard
