@SunderjiJB@Swiggy 80% premium crazy, but like it has been pointed out, the menu prices are infact given by the restaurant themselves mostly to recover the commission they pay to both Swiggy n Zomato which is in the tune of 20 to 25%.
@swapniljain89 BMTC bus service is underrated in Bangalore cos it's not 'cool' enough to use them. We definitely need to change this perception cos they are very efficient and the most economical means of transport.
Meet the man with 27,500 daughters
That’s what they call him – Appa.
His real name? KP Ramaswamy. Owner of KPR Mills, Coimbatore. A textile baron by profession. A father figure by choice.
While corporate honchos talk about employee retention, cost-cutting, and bottom lines, this man is busy transforming lives.
How? By turning mill workers into graduates. By making education their stepping stone to a better life.
It all started with a simple request. A young girl at his mill once told him –
"Appa, I want to study. My parents pulled me out of school because of poverty, but I want to study further."
That one sentence changed everything.
Instead of giving his workers just a paycheck, he decided to give them a future.
He set up a full-fledged education system – right inside the mill.
📌 Four-hour classes after an eight-hour shift.
📌 Classrooms, teachers, a principal, even a yoga course.
📌 All fully funded. No strings attached.
And the result?
🚀 24,536 women have earned their 10th, 12th, UG, and PG degrees.
🚀 Many are now nurses, teachers, police officers.
🚀 20 gold medallists from Tamil Nadu Open University this year alone.
Now, you’d expect a businessman to worry about attrition. What if these women leave? What about workforce stability?
Here’s what KP Ramaswamy says –
"I don’t want to keep them in the mill and waste their potential. They are here because of poverty, not by choice. My job is to give them a future, not a cage."
And that’s exactly what he does….
They leave. They build careers. And then? They send more girls from their villages to the mill. The cycle continues.
This isn’t just a CSR initiative. This is Human Resource Development in its truest sense.
At a recent convocation, 350 women received their degrees. And KP Ramaswamy made an unusual request –
"If you or your friends can hire them, it will give other girls the hope to study further."
Think about it. A man running a multi-crore empire isn’t asking for business. He’s asking for jobs – for his workers.
How often do we see this?
This story isn’t just about KPR Mills. It’s a lesson in leadership, in corporate ethics, in nation-building.
B-Schools should teach this.
HR professionals should study this.
And the world needs to know this.
A story worth sharing.🙏(source:Unknown)
Breaking News: EPFO to Finally Let You Access Your Own Money! Revolutionary, Right?
In a groundbreaking leap for modern financial freedom, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced that, starting 2025, its 7 crore members will finally be able to withdraw their own hard-earned PF money directly from ATMs. Yes, you heard that right—no more waiting for just 7-10 days for a fraction of your own paycheck to boomerang back to you.
Under this innovative initiative, dubbed EPFO 3.0, members will receive special cards (don’t call them debit cards, it’s more profound than that) to access funds at ATMs. Imagine, you could be standing at an ATM, withdrawing your own savings, and pretending it’s a major milestone in human progress. How thoughtful of them!
But wait, there’s more! In a dazzling display of generosity, the EPFO is also lifting the 12% cap on employee contributions. So now, you can voluntarily contribute even more of your salary to an account that takes months of form-filling, bureaucratic acrobatics, and divine intervention to access. What a time to be alive!
And for the grand finale, they’re considering raising the salary ceiling for PF contributions to ₹21,000. Because, why not make it easier for even more people to experience the privilege of lending their money to a system that treats giving it back like a state secret?
The move has been hailed as a monumental step forward in financial innovation—or as some would call it, “finally letting people access their money like adults.” So, get ready, India! Starting 2025, you’ll be able to press a button, punch in a PIN, and take out the money that was yours to begin with. Truly revolutionary.
Bangalore Autorickshaw is the most uncomfortable mode of transport today. They all have these stupid mats which deprive you of leg space, over inflate their tyres (40 to 45 psi) and almost never go by meter. Is there a solution?

The worst thing about goa besides rampant urbanization are these private Taxi goons. Overprized and lazy buggers who just camp outside hotels and resorts and trouble tourists.
#Shocking! Taxi driver stops GoaMiles car with passengers inside, allegedly threaten them to cancel the ride which they paid Rs. 300 & instead take local taxi @ Rs. 1000!

@Akshat_World Goa's taxi mafia has been the biggest disappointment for us esp in the South. We have had horrible experiences in the past and now stick to either driving down or renting a cab for the entire duration of our stay.
It's sad that no Govt wants to risk changing/breaking this union
