@vinodchendhil Flying has become mainstream only in the past 10 (max 20 years). Kaun sa tradition 🤣
Also I don't know of a tradition which says - "Don't eat stuff at home, but pack everything and spread your buffet on a rather cramped public space you will occupy for 2-4 hours"
These bank sales agents selling loans and credit cards have suddenly become very rude (especially the women).
Will some one tell them they are first in the line of the AI Armageddon
These RAs never made money in the market.
Their source of income was always the commission they got. Now that the markets are down and those are starting to dry up, they have resorted to engagement farming to get their pennies from Elon
In a decade, Arteta’s Arsenal will have left a bigger mark on football than Cruyff’s Ajax. But no matter how much the tactical landscape shifts, the legend of Messi will still outshine it all. 🐐🇦🇷✨ #Arsenal#Messi#Football
People keep asking why we won’t celebrate Kunal Shah heading WhatsApp or Meta throwing $900M at CRED.
Because the lesson isn’t inspiring. CRED proved you can hand out fake rewards nobody wants, build features nobody asked for, and still become a billionaire darling. The points were mostly worthless, the value proposition was fuzzy, and yet investors kept lining up.
Why? Because the real product was never bill payments. It was a live dashboard of India’s wealthiest spenders: their income signals, spending habits, repayment behaviour, lifestyle choices, and purchasing power.
Build a bill-pay app. Hand out rewards worth less than the electricity used to display them. Convince investors it’s revolutionary. Use the hype to aggregate one of the most valuable consumer datasets in the country and then sell it to an unethical immoral big tech conglomerate like Meta.
That’s not a startup success story. It’s a masterclass in turning con hype into a business model.
Meta didn’t invest $900M because of cred points, cashback, or digital scratch cards. They invested in knowing who has money, how they spend it, and what they’re most likely to buy next.
The app was the bait. The data was the business. Meta didn’t buy the points. They bought the people behind them. The rewards were the advertisement. The users were the inventory.
@mountain_rats I don't understand this superiority complex of being an OLD football fan.
Am I expected to watch football from my mother's womb qualify as a real fan 😔
