@b50 Excellent podcast with Kumar Bagrodia. Very insightful and informative.

@ActusDei I remember going to GIFT city in 2018. There were just a couple of buildings. The GIFT team was pushing aggressively for us to rent space. Rentals were very attractive but we didn’t accept the offer as it was too far for the employees. Great to see it grow.

In the Manchester Derby VAR audio the Ref is in a great hurry. He has a checklist in his mind that he is rushing through. The broader perspective of Enzo impacting play just never makes this list. Asst VAR should intervene.

This was exactly my thought. A six point swing on one weekday by erroneous referee decisions is not trivial. No wonder Mik Arteta was furious.

[Seewrap @craptor]

If not for a david raya peno save, there was a very real scenario where two horrific and egregiously bad reffing decisions swing the title race by 6 points. It's unbelievable how fucking incompetent the PGMOL and their refs continue to be. This is BASIC STUFF HERE.

@Iamsamirarora Yup. I am not much of a Tata fan. I think it’s more of a Brand rather than performance. Will be interesting to see what the do with Air India. I would posit that it would be lower than 70%.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump says he will issue a $5,000 "dividend" to every adult citizen in the US if the Republicans win the midterm elections.

There are currently ~245 million US citizens age 18+, meaning this dividend would cost ~$1.2 trillion.

This would mark the biggest economic stimulus payment since the pandemic.

This is going to destroy relationships. It's over. Boyfriends are cooked. Nuked from orbit. Toasted. Fried. 💀💀💀

@_prashantnair Whatever happens, Indian markets will be down 😀

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

@TheMahaIndex Agree. You just need to go to Kolhapur Station. It’s like taking a trek to get to platform 3

@InvestingTFD @AashishPS @contliving For White Oak my expectations are 9-10% pa. With more REIT ipo’s on the horizon, hopefully the market will expand.

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

@InvestingTFD @AashishPS @contliving Still early days. Invested in March. I had applied for the Embassy REIT IPO and then sold when there was that period of tax changes. But REIT/ INVITs are a great diversification product.

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

@AashishPS @contliving Invested. The big advantage of the MF structure is that the quarterly payouts sit within the fund and there is no tax leakage. Helps compounding. I have invested in a REIT PMS which is not tax friendly. If the White Oak fund does well, will shift the PMS to MF.

Fake comments attributed to politicians, players, celebrities is becoming a big part of X. Hope there is a crackdown. Use AI for this.

@IndianGems_ Come on. Where’s the fun in that. No additional monitors, no 3 spreadsheets open at a time, no schedule FA? Booorring 😀

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

Ever since Spurs lost that Man City game which was celebrated by the fans, it’s been downhill ever since. They’ve just not performed at the level of the Top 6. There is a lesson of life in this somewhere.

@jyotishiralee I had a rude awakening a couple of years ago when there was no card machine at Delhi T2 for excess baggage. No UPI. Only Cash.

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

Totally concur. For eg FD in joint names can be opened online. But to redeem I had to take my super senior citizen mom physically to the branch. ICICI no such crazy bureaucracy. Legal supersedes Customer in HDFC.

[Ritesh Jain @riteshmjn]

Talking from a personal experience over a period of last 10 years.

One indian private sector bank was always customer nightmare but was shareholders delight.

The same private sector bank today continues to be customer nightmare but has also turned into shareholder nightmare.

The lesson is that shareholder delight will be fleeting if they can’t fix their retail customer experience.

[Madhav Samant @madhavsamant]

A proper explanation
