@SubramanianKri True, Those fantasising of SriLanka type debt trap for India are indulging in blatant and deliberate misrepresentation of data. India's total external debt is $621Bn of which Cent Govt’s debt is just 21%. Nearly 50% of it's debt taken by non-Govt companies and households (1/2)
You got your two minutes of fame. Congratulations on picking up a non issue and creating fault lines where there were none. Enjoy your victory on defeating a peace loving and gentle class of people who let this pass.
Public Statement
I would like to sincerely thank all media organizations, journalists, and reporters who covered this issue and helped bring attention to the concerns that were raised. Your interest and coverage played an important role in ensuring that the matter received the attention it deserved.
However, I now request all media representatives to kindly refrain from visiting our property and housing society for further coverage of this issue.
For nearly a week, the residents of the society have experienced continuous disruption due to repeated visits, interviews, and media activity in the common areas. While the coverage was appreciated, it is important that normalcy returns for all residents.
I am pleased to state that the dispute has now been resolved through dialogue and cooperation. The white patti that was at the center of the disagreement has been removed, and the affected area has been restored and repainted to its original condition. The matter has therefore reached a satisfactory conclusion.
I believe that when a dispute is resolved peacefully and constructively, it is equally important to know when to close the chapter and move forward. In the interest of maintaining harmony, respecting the privacy of residents, and allowing the society to function normally, I consider this issue closed.
I once again thank the media for its support and understanding, and I respectfully request everyone to allow the residents to return to their daily lives without further disturbance.
Thank you.
@SutharAdit32523@canarabank@RBI@DFS_India Customer fault, trying to intrude on the specific space of Bank employees. Yes, they can go for lunch at one time, that's why guards keep the gates locked. At some branches which have high footfall, employees mutually decide the lunch timings rotation basis.
@dmuthuk All 5 South Indian states together have
129 / 543 = 23.8% of today
195 / 816 = 23.9% in the proposed model
Share is basically the same
And share of the magic number is also obv the same
129 / 272 = 47.4% of the majority today
195 / 409 = 47.7% of the majority after expansion
@DealsDhamaka If seats go from 543 to 816 seats, the magic number goes from 272 to 409.
All 5 South Indian states together have

A client of mine runs a 40-person IT services company in Pune. They landed a contract with a European bank last year. Dream deal. 18-month engagement. Everyone celebrated.
3 months in, the bank's project manager asked for "a small addition." Then another. Then a full module that was never in the original scope.
My client said yes to everything. No pushback. No documentation. Just delivered. Worked weekends. Put his best people on it.
He thought if we go above and beyond, they will renew. They will refer us to other departments. This is how you build trust with large corporates.
Invoice time came. The bank's procurement team pulled out the MSA.
"We only owe you what is in the signed scope."
40% of the invoice. Rejected. Rs 1.2 crore in delivered work. Zero recovery.
The project manager who asked for all those extras? He shrugged. "That was informal. You should have raised a change request."
This is not a one-off. I see this pattern with Indian service providers exporting to large corporates every single month.
They come from a culture where over-delivery builds relationships. Where the client remembers your extra effort. Where trust is earned by going beyond.
That works with Indian SMEs. It is disastrous with multinational corporates.
Here is what Indian service exporters do not understand about how large corporates work.
The person pressuring you to deliver fast is measured on project delivery. Not your invoice.
The person who pays you has never heard your name. They only read the MSA.
The legal counsel reviews every line item against the signed scope. Your hustle is invisible to them.
The procurement team pays against signed documents. Not verbal promises. Not emails. Not WhatsApp messages from the project manager saying "please add this urgently."
These are three different people in three different departments with three different incentives. The person who asks for the work has no power over the person who pays for it.
Every single change in scope needs a written request, a documented approval, and a signed amendment. Before you write a single line of code. Before you assign a single developer.
No paper trail means no payment. No exceptions. Not even if the client's own team asked for the change.
India has over 50,000 IT services companies exporting to global corporates. Most of them are run by brilliant technologists who have never read their own MSA. Who treat the change request procedure as bureaucracy. Something that slows things down. Something to skip when the client is in a hurry.
It is not bureaucracy. It is your invoice protection system.
The MSA protects them. The change request procedure protects you.
The vendor who over-delivers without documentation is not being generous. They are doing free work and calling it strategy.
As soon as Afghanistan secures victory over Pakistan, the Afghan/Taliban government will take several major decisions.
The first decision will be to hand over Kashmir to India in its entirety, without any interference.
India was our friend, is our friend, and will always remain our friend. 🇦🇫🇮🇳
به محض اینکه افغانستان بر پاکستان پیروز شود، حکومت افغانستان/طالبان چندین تصمیم مهم اتخاذ خواهد کرد.
اولین تصمیم این خواهد بود که کشمیر را به طور کامل و بدون هیچگونه مداخله به هند واگذار کند.
هند دوست ما بود، هست و همیشه خواهد ماند. 🇦🇫🇮🇳
