@narendramodi Ye MOM kyun mil raha hai humein?

I think @deepigoyal rightly pointed out a while ago, India is a market of super brands & not super apps. Great insight!

A world where brands shudder at the thought of Amazon entering their domain, #Zomato swimming against the tide & getting into Amazon's

Why have all banks started to add deceptive pop ups in their apps ?

What should have been a UX driven initiative has become a landmine of accidental clicks. Pretty much moved back to the desktop for financial transactions.

@thevirdas hi, caught your show in Bangalore yesterday. Had a great time :)

I really enjoyed the opening act of Laani as well. Where can I find her music online?

Overtime my technology purchase choices have gone from "features, colours, screen resolution" to "battery life" will literally compromise on anything else

Excited to unveil India's first crowd-supported weather infrastructure, https://t.co/qE9kkfoisG. A proprietary network of 650+ on-ground weather stations, it is the largest private infrastructure of its kind in our country.

These weather stations, developed by Zomato, provide localised, real-time information on key weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall etc. Currently available across 45 large cities, we are expanding this in other Indian cities very soon.

This rich data holds significant potential in unlocking weather use cases for enterprises and research institutes. Having already collaborated with CAS - IIT Delhi, we expect more institutions and companies to benefit from this and contribute towards the greater good of our economy.

At Zomato, it was crucial for us to have access to precise and real-time weather information to make the right business decisions to serve our customers better. Hence, we took it upon ourselves to develop a solution capable of empowering us on this front.

We are now opening up free access to this (through an API) to all institutions and companies in the country. Wait. What? Free? Really? Yes, we believe that this data is too valuable to keep to ourselves or to monetise; therefore, as a Zomato Giveback, we are opening up access to this data to everyone for public good. Multiple companies and public institutions should use real-time weather data, to boost the productivity of our economy.

Also, a lot of Zomato employees have hosted weather stations at their homes. As we look forward to further expanding this infrastructure, we welcome volunteers who want to provide us space on their premises to install these weather stations and contribute to nation building.

I hope some podcasts acquire other podcasts with VC funding and just shut them down. Every random dude is "talking" to people about their 2 year journey post college

@parkplus_io Still not fixed. Seriously pathetic

[Saket Gupta @saketpgupta]

It's been a while since I've come across a more frustrating app than @parkplus_io

Right from customer support to UX to overall functionality sucks

[Saket Gupta @saketpgupta]

@parkplus_io Shared. However multiple mails have been shared already, this seems pointless. Can someone call and understand the problem first?

At Facebook, I coined a term called Filipino Product Market-Fit:
Every year a product manager would observe their new product getting intense adoption in the Phillipines and proclaim their idea was working. Directors would quickly staff the team and alert their VPs of the newfound discovery—only to find out that the pattern was not reproducible in other countries.
The Philipines has one of the highest time-spent online in the world and they will try literally anything for a few days.

Keep calm and keep working quietly. Noise and fomo around will reduce overtime. Everything makes sense in retrospect.

I read #OLA is launching e ricks now. It's crazy how this company has launched a plethora of products in e mobility, food, transportation et al but it still can't get their driver partners to accept rides consistently
