Oracle fired 12,000 of its Indian workforce and is expected to sack more.

Another reminder of how fragile stability is in the private sector. One secures employment, income begins to flow, long-term plans take shape, home, car, loans, EMIs. And then, a single decision by the corporate to “rationalize” or “downsize,” and everything collapses overnight.

Unless you quickly re-enter the job market, fixed liabilities don’t pause; they compound stress and can upend an otherwise steady life.

While you earn, you must pay taxes. The moment you lose your job, you’re on your own. In fact, you even have to pay tax on the severance also.

Maybe it’s time to introduce reforms, such as mandating severance pay ranging from three months to one year based on an employee’s tenure, as is the norm in the West; allowing EMI pauses for a 3-6 months; and providing a time-bound monthly allowance from the govt for involuntary job losses.

If Ladla/Ladlis can get free money, free ration, free water, and electricity, without paying any income tax, why not support a worker who has been paying taxes and contributing?

What use is tech talent without civic sense? Can’t we use technology to keep our city clean, to discipline our traffic and improve infrastructure? If China can use robots to collect garbage, clean sewers n control traffic offenders, why can’t we? Come on techies rise to the challenge - waste to wealth n to a clean and green city

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

CEO of Alphabet is Indian.
CEO of Microsoft is Indian.
CEO of IBM is Indian.
CEO of Adobe is Indian.
CEO of Chanel is Indian.

True. But these successes aren’t automatically a point of pride for India; on the contrary, they expose weaknesses in its ecosystem. Leaders like Pichai, and Nadella did not become global CEOs because of India’s corporate, academic, or policy environment. They succeeded after leaving India, shaped by Western universities, meritocratic firms, deep capital markets, strong institutions, and a reliable rule of law.

India’s only real credit is raw talent. Beyond that, it failed to build an ecosystem where this talent could thrive. The talent was exported; the value addition happened elsewhere.

If India were truly benefiting, such leaders would be building world-class companies from India, not running them from abroad. Celebrating them avoids the harder question: why can’t Indian companies, operating in India with Indian capital and institutions, produce leaders of similar global impact? Until India moves beyond identity-driven appeasement, hierarchy, jugaad over systems, regulatory hostility, and risk-averse capitalism, “Indian CEOs abroad” remain less a badge of honour and more a reminder of what India fails to retain, empower, and scale at home.

@AskAnshul People don't accept this now, but reservations have to go from this country's system.

People are trying to find workarounds for their incompetence.

With AI on the rise, people have become more lazier.

Reservations will hollow this country out.

[Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0 @DrNimoYadav]

Reporter was asking BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya about the deaths of 10 people who died after drinking contaminated water in MP

Minister said, “Don’t ask me nonsense questions. Tu kya ghanta hoke aaya hai?”

Repoter gave him a chokeslam after that 🔥

[Suraj Kumar Talreja @suritalreja]

I am genuinely surprised why more people in India aren’t talking about this openly.

If you want clean drinking water, you have to buy a water purifier and then pay 18% GST on it.

If you want clean air, buy an air purifier again, 18% GST.

If you want 24×7 electricity, don’t rely on the grid buy an inverter.

If you want quality education for your child, forget government schools, you have to go private, where fees run into lakhs.

Government schools are not even a serious option for most middle-class families.

If you want good healthcare, you go to a private hospital and once you step inside, your bank balance starts bleeding. Many families literally take loans to survive medical emergencies.

Now leave all this aside.

Even pure food is hard to get.
Paneer is adulterated.
Dal is artificially coloured.

Street food?

Nobody knows what’s being mixed dirty hands, sweat, sometimes worse. We just hope nothing happens.

Try walking outside:
• Footpaths barely exist.
• Vehicles come from all directions.
• People don’t follow lanes.
• Potholes everywhere.

One wrong step and:
you might get hit by a vehicle, or
you might fall and injure yourself

And who takes responsibility?
No one.

Ask questions and suddenly you’re:
• called deshdrohi
• told to “go to Pakistan”

Why should expectations from my own country be compared with Pakistan?

When India plays cricket, do we compare ourselves with Kenya or Zimbabwe?
No.

We compare ourselves with Australia, England, big teams.

Then why, as a country, shouldn’t we compare ourselves with: China, the USA, Japan, Australia other large economies?

People say “India is Vishwaguru.”

If that were true:
• why are so many millionaires leaving India?
• why are top celebrities and athletes settling abroad?
• why do people with money still choose foreign education, healthcare, and passports?

Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent.

Asking questions is not anti-national.

Expecting clean air, safe roads, honest food, affordable healthcare, and quality education is not a crime.

Patriotism is not blind worship.
Patriotism is demanding better because we believe India deserves better.

If this made you uncomfortable, maybe it needed to be said.

Share it.
Talk about it.
Silence won’t fix anything.

@GabbbarSingh Despite holding a paid membership, the frequency of advertisements on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Hotstar is unacceptable. This practice undermines the value of a subscription, and consumers across India should collectively protest this change.

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

I challenge the Government of India & @DoT_India to launch an app called रिश्वत विरोधी (Anti Bribe)

Let it come pre-installed in all Phones. It can have permissions for microphone & camera. Let all Government Services be listed with Location access.

When anyone has any Government related services to avail, they should log it here. They should be allowed to record their conversation with the Government Officials & report Corruption immediately. Let Officials Fear hundred times before even Thinking about taking a Bribe.

Officials should be immediately penalised if they are guilty. Build AI models to ensure that data will be genuine and not compromised. Educate Citizens on how to use it.

Citizens will appreciate it more. Sanchar Saathi is good, but can wait. Bribes are Bigger Problem in India.

If you are reading this and feel this is more important than Sanchar Saathi, tag relevant ministers and share on your timeline. Let this be done....

[Revant Himatsingka “Food Pharmer” @foodpharmer2]

Everyone tells Indians to walk 10,000 steps, but no one tells us “Where should we walk?”

Try stepping out to walk in any Indian city.

Chances are:
-There are no footpaths.
-If there is one, it’s broken.
-If it’s not broken, it’s occupied by hawkers, scooters, garbage, or parked cars.

I’ve lived in countries where walking is therapy. In India, walking is a punishment. You dodge potholes, pray you don’t get hit by a car, and come home covered in dust.

We talk about building smart cities, but what’s the point of smart cities if we can’t even walk safely in them?

Our cities were never designed for people. They were designed for traffic. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that walking is not a privilege, it is a basic human right.

Let’s stop designing cities for cars.
Let’s start designing them for people.

Let’s Make India Walkable Again!

Sonam Wangchuk has done more good things for India than all BJP leaders combined.

They are targeting him because they cannot tolerate educated people who speak up for their rights. They want everyone to be dumb Andhbhakts. It is similar to how Hitler targeted Albert Einstein.
