Most Indian companies are just misusing cheap internet, illegally exploiting customer data and it should become more expensive for them.

I have a @HathwayBrdband internet connection as a backup and it's recharged every 3 months. Every time the due date was 12-15 days away, their people would start calling and messaging 15-25 times a day, from multiple numbers insisting that I pay asap. As if I was missing a loan payment. And all were rude dehatis who couldn't spell internet even if their lives depended on it.

After multiple requests to stop went without resolution, I wrote a LinkedIn post and tagged a bunch of top-level employees. I got a call within two hours from a mid-level employee who insisted that the system operated in such a way that the calls were inevitable, but she promised they would try to reduce the frequency. After I refused to budge, she promised that the calls would stop if I just deleted the post. A few of the tagged employees had already blocked me and I refused to delete it anyway.

Now I found out that the calls stopped only because they had deleted my phone number from all company records. Now I can't login to pay bills or get a request registered using my phone number. This is the quality of IT infrastructure of a major Indian ISP.😅

Another culprit is @airtelindia which forces customers to install its highly intrusive AirtelThanks phone app for even the basic account management by disabling all the major features on their website. Typical makkhi-choos exploitative lala company mentality. 

Then there are a bunch of orgs, big and small who just keep spamming customers on Whatsapp and email ignoring their own opt-out messages. ISKCON is perhaps the worst in this regard.
Only option with them is to report and block and in my case, lose a paying customer.

Why I bother? Because all this user data collected by private orgs as well as govt is routinely sold without consent (and very frequently hacked by criminals) which is causing multiple issues now and will only get worse.

Privacy in India is an absolute joke. Until these companies face harsh consequences for harassing people, stealing data and forcing crappy apps down our throats, nothing will change.

@Olacabs @bhash OLA gives airport fare, Driver asks for extra money as not satisfied with OLA fare, driver holds luggage hostage in cab. We have to pay additiinal amount under duress as we have a flight to catch. Is this how OLA works now?

Dipesh Tank, an Indian man, has caught over 150 sexual h@rrassers in Mumbai trains and has also worked with NGOs to rescue young girls who were being trafficked to bigger cities.

We need more men like him tbh ✨️

This clip which was shared with me is about Shri Inder Jit Singh Sidhu of Chandigarh.

Apparently, every morning at 6 AM, in the quiet streets of Chandigarh’s sector 49, this 88-year-old retired police officer begins his day in service.

Armed with nothing but a cycle cart and an unwavering sense of duty, he moves slowly and purposefully, picking up rubbish from the roadside.

He says he wasn’t happy with the ‘low rank’ Chandigarh got in the Swachh Surekshan listing. But instead of complaining, he chooses action.

Each piece of trash he clears is more than just litter removed. It’s a statement. A quiet, persistent belief in a better world. A belief in living with meaning, regardless of age or recognition.

In a world often obsessed with youth and speed, his slow but steady footsteps tell us that Purpose doesn’t retire. Service doesn’t age.

A Salute to this quiet warrior of the streets. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Article is from October 2024. But not yet implemented in Delhi. Why is the government holding back benefits from scrapping old vehicles to reach the common man?
@LtGovDelhi @gupta_rekha

[javed shakeel @javedshakeel]

Govt departments are impounding vehicles forcefully from parking areas at home. What benefit does the common man get in return?

A friend owns a small sporting goods store in Bangalore. Regardless of the government in place, he and other businesses around him are forced to pay lakhs in bribes. Lakhs.

Someone from the Department of Metrology will come in one day. Go through EVERY item in stock so they can find something where the label has fallen off or is less visible. They ask that it’s okay for them to give him a court date so he can resolve it. Or he can pay a “fine”.

In a few days, the Department of Labour comes in. They will come with several people and go through every book and registration. Find something to blackmail him about. Then ask for a fine. Mind you, this is a person that is a stickler for transparency and is very organised.

Then there is the GST audit. The slabs are very weird here. It goes from 2.5% to 18% even though everything is sports. They will find one entry in a thousand within the inventory and repeat threat of courts.

A businessman close by to his store told them no, they couldn’t do this and even he had political reach. They gave him a date to resolve it in court where he spent months trying to respond to the summons. Unsure which department it was for.

Then there is the trade licence. They need an NOC from everyone about the business. They can go and ask people in the neighbourhood if they are okay with the footfall or if it gets too noisy. If they can frame anything as a complaint, they do.

There are well-known characters in the process. A man, well-dressed, well-known to businesses across town, makes lakhs in a day. He sits at the store and does not budge until he finds something. Keeps conversation light. Finds something. Asks to be paid.

Add here the random drop-ins by the cops who tale away goods worth thousands for 200 because “if something happens, like the lock on your shutter door is broken or your store is vandalised, you will need us. Help us out for now.” That is a hardly veiled threat.

This is understood to be normal. This needs to change.

BREAKING NEWS (MUST WATCH) 🔥

"Kanwar Yatra blocks roads for weeks

Bhandara blocks roads for 3 hours

Jagran blocks roads for 5 hours

Then why is the govt only banning Namaz on streets which takes just 15 minutes?" 🫡

A brahmin journalist raising the voice for Muslims is the most brave thing you will see from mainstream media.

Last month, a number sent me malware via an APK titled 'Union Bank Aadhar Update' on Whatsapp.

These typically just lamely forward all SMSes received to steal OTPs, but this one turned out to be a significantly more sophisticated op.
