People often ask me what it took to scale @Swiggy. And they seem disappointed when I don't give them a single silver bullet.

The truth is that scaling a business, an organization, or tech platform is largely plain and simple execution, done every day, year after year.

The daily grind of fixing the small things that no one expects you to do. Taking baby steps towards that grand vision. Showing up and getting the job done, every single day.

And then one day, we turn back and are amazed at how far we have come.

If you want to build something great, fall in love with the grind.

20% TCS on credit card use outside India.

The biggest risk to India story is Finance think tank. Keep changing taxes n increase burden on the same 4-5 cr people who pay tax -thru STT, capital gain, dividend, TCS, angel tax, fringe benefit tax etc

Speed breaker mindset- instead of catching d erring people , make everyone suffer!

"Retirement" from work as a risk factor for #Dementia: experience of 5 recent patients

1. I saw 5 new cases of dementia last month, which apparently started within 6 to 18 months after retirement from work. All were cognitively normal until retirement.

Of 1980 acre belonging for Airport Modernisation of CSMIA, 309 acres are illegally occupied slums. We not only romanticise slums, we bend over backwards for their pleasure. New terminal capacity tweaked, cannot build vital separate runway (Present one is Intersecting) value lost?

@AmazonHelp I did report the issue to your Helpdesk. However, they have been utterly unhelpful. There has been no effort to find a resolution other than telling us to ‘Please contact MI customer service”. We need to escalate this because your regular cust service hasn’t been able to help.

Hey @AmazonHelp, we had ordered an Mi Band 5 on Amazon. Instead, we were sent a faulty Mi Band 4 in an Mi Band 5 box. We realised this only when we took the product to the Mi service center to get it replaced and they told us that the product is actually Mi Band 4 while the

invoice says Mi Band 5. Given the mismatch, the Mi service center said they can’t replace the product. And now your customer care is shirking the issue saying that it’s past the return/replacement period and they can’t really help us. This is nothing less than fraud.

A Sri Lankan friend tonight told me people outside the country asked her if she's safe, what with the protests and all. People are asking me also it's safe to travel to #SriLanka. Some even cancelled out of fear.

Tenants are the daughter and son in law of the promoter of Linc Pens. They have been refusing to leave since mid-2018 and have not paid any rent since then.

As the Omicron surge of infections abates,

Its worth reflecting on few lessons we learned

Today, lets' discuss whether Omicron was indeed "milder"

Short answer? Yes it was

But it still caused a devastating loss of life

And that's a lesson for managing future waves

From the CEO of Flexport, @typesfast on the @theallinpod.

Inventory, inventory, inventory.

The coming shift in consumer spend from goods to services is going to be painful for a lot of companies and industries.

Where there are shortages, there is double ordering.

Hey @mybmc @MumbaiPolice, @AUThackeray!

I hope you understand the enormity of the problem that Lower Parel has become.

Mahalaxmi Bridge: Dug up till Race Course
Science Centre Side: Metro Work
Sriram Mills Road: Road Shut
Delisle Road Bridge: What's that?

Let's rename it?

Frustrated, exhausted, angry , you work on your case , prepare , burn the midnight oil, and when your case is called out you are told”sorry, we don’t have the time to hear your case today” why can’t the courts get their act together ? These are courts of injustice !

Breakthrough cases of polio—including deaths—were common during early polio vaccination.

What kept us safe was not perfect vaccine efficacy. It was that Americans quickly & massively stepped up to get the imperfect vaccine, quashing transmission.
