I wish I could scream much louder about the trauma.
Good to see this is now being highlighted more and more. But in India, scammers will get more advanced in their techniques than actually terrified.

Bloomberg News has won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary for “trAPPed,” a graphic novel depicting the psychological ordeal of a woman in India held under “digital arrest” for eight days, subjected to 24/7 surveillance in a widespread and ruinous scam. https://t.co/4u5ZXmvW4f

The designer Ray is the coolest Ray. For me he will always be the guy whom i first met on the cover pages of the coolest children’s illustrated monthly magazine ever produced in India. Nothing comes close!

A man had to carry his sister's dead body to the bank to prove her death. A woman on IV drip had to turn up to work to prove she was sick. The marginalized of this nation face apathy and dehumanization on new levels every day.

You open your TL and watch the Indian heat map turn an ugly, blistering red. Then you scroll down a few tweets and see AI data centres in Andhra Pradesh... Over 10,000 trees will be butchered in Andaman and Nicobar islands... Despair is not the word.

The arrogance of humans to cut down trees and think air conditioners will cool us

Her name is Malavika Hegde.

In July 2019, her husband VG Siddhartha walked onto a bridge near Mangalore and told his driver he would be back shortly.

He never came back.

Siddhartha had built Cafe Coffee Day into India’s largest coffee chain. 1700 cafes. 25000 employees. He had also buried the company under Rs 7214 crore of debt.

The board panicked. Analysts wrote CCD off.

Nobody had accounted for Malavika.

She was an engineer. A mother of two. She had never run a company in her life. Her father SM Krishna was a former Chief Minister of Karnataka. She could have lived in that shadow comfortably.

She chose the debt instead.

In December 2020, she took over as CEO. In the middle of a pandemic. Her first act was a personal letter to all 25000 employees. She wrote the CCD story is worth preserving. I will fight for this brand.

Then she got to work.

She called every lender personally and renegotiated terms. She sold Global Village Tech Park to Blackstone. She closed every loss making outlet. She exported premium Arabica beans from her own 20000 acre farm to international markets to generate fresh revenue.

She never raised the price of a single cup of coffee.

By 2021, the debt was down to Rs 1731 crore. By 2023, it was Rs 465 crore.

A 93 percent reduction in four years.

Today, CCD runs 423 cafes and 55733 vending machines across India. Netflix is developing a web series on her life. Business schools are teaching her turnaround as a case study.

She had no playbook. She had no mentor. She had grief and 25000 people depending on her.

That was enough.

Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

The coolest and half-drawn animal by mother nature. Like her art material got over. 🤣
