Indian bureaucracy is crazy….top Babu’s exist only to sign files put by juniors. Brainless asses. That’s why they are called IASs

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The Govt has banned Telegram in India until June 22 over the use of the app by 'cheating rackets' for NEET-UG.

The Babu or the minister whose "big brain" idea this was should get the Param-Chaantt award.

They are assuming that the cheating network and their clients don't understand what a VPN is and can't access Telegram through one.

They think that because the paper was shared on Telegram last time, if it is leaked, it will only be shared on Telegram again. Are Discord, Signal, and WhatsApp a joke to them?

So, why not make your system foolproof and make leaks impossible instead of banning a mode of communication? Because it's a slippery slope. If the paper leaks and is shared tomorrow, you'll ban other apps too, and eventually the whole internet. But then again, papers were leaked and shared long before the internet era, too.

You open business in a place where markets exists. Rewards employees extra by means other than salary.

Why should there be need to use a convoluted work around? Simple and rational method is tax on gain when sold.

How babus harm Indian Engineers:
I ran a US based startup. My engineering team was in India. Not in Bangalore or Delhi, but scattered across small towns and villages around UP/Bihar/Assam.
They were some of the best engineers I have worked with anywhere. The only thing they lacked was the ability to speak English like someone who went to a Delhi private school. That one accident of birth kept them off the rosters of every shiny startup.
I turned that into an advantage. I go find them. And I pay them exactly what an English-speaking engineer in Bangalore would get, without making them move. Same code, same salary. English fluency was never the skill I was hiring for.
Now I wanted to give them what my US team members had: ownership. A real piece of what they were building. For a young dude from a village in Gonda or Chapra, that can be generational, life-changing money when we exit.
But I could’t.
The moment an Indian employee exercise their options (convert them to shares), without selling anything they get taxed on the paper gain as salary (I have heard it could be as high as 42%). For a private company, no buyer, no liquidity, no cash. But they get slapped with a tax bill, sometimes larger than their salary, on money they haven't earned.
So, if I gave them equity, the choice I wd have forced on those engineers was: pay lakhs out of pocket for shares they can't sell, or give up the equity.
In the US employees pay nothing until they sell, and if they hold long enough, they may pay almost nothing at all (federal).
I have heard that in India , there is a "deferral" now. But if my info is correct, it covers ~2% of startups. Like most other startups, mine wont qualify.
The fix is one line: tax the shares when they are sold, not when they are bought. Every developed country does it. India could do it tomorrow but it does not.
Why?
Due to babus (not Nirmala S).

Whatever the others may say what he is saying is correct. The jam on such dangerous road are caused by people trying to jump and blocking the oncomings lane. They are the guys who are creating risk for everyone.

This video is from Zoji La Pass, between Sonamarg (J&K) and Drass (Ladakh).

You can clearly hear truck driver saying that vehicles driving on the wrong side should be hit and thrown from mountains.

Such remarks are extremely concerning on a road as dangerous as Zoji La.

Authorities should take note, as he is openly advocating a dangerous act that could put lives at risk. 🚛⚠️🏔️

Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it?

The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well.

Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO

And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India.

The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption.

Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.

Should a financial advisor be looking at the value improvement for the investors or grappling with the national economic solutions?

Technically, a small unlocking of gold will help the national balance of payment. IMHO not a good advice

[Sudev Barar @sbarar]

@feroze_azeez Is this an investment advice? We are only return maximisation is look at or is it a nationalistic advice?

Kudos to the judge, however, instead of granting bail, the case should have been dismissed. She herself has described the intentions before, and after very clearly. So, where is the case of rape?

[Swati Goel Sharma @swati_gs]

A year ago, a Hindu woman studying at a college in Bhopal filed a police case against a college senior named Farhan that he befriended her under a false identity, and then drugged, raped, blackmailed and forcibly tried to convert her to Islam

Soon after, several women from the same college came forward with similar complaints against different men

Police found that the accused were part of the same gang and had the backing of a criminal named Shariq who is notorious in Bhopal by nickname ‘Machli’

Police found that the accused targeted Hindu girls in a coordinated manner - trapping one girl, then introducing her friend to another gang member, and so on

They also facilitated opportunities for intimacy and then secretly recorded videos

Two of the victims were sisters who had lost their parents long ago and were being raised in poverty by relatives. The scandal left them so shattered that one of them tried to kill herself and still bears a deep scar on her wrist

The revelations were reported as ‘Bhopal sex scandal’

Such was the outrage over the shocking revelations that MP govt got Shariq’s house bulldozed, top police chief of MP got involved, women’s commission got involved, and several accused were arrested. They continue to be in jail

The most important intervention came from NHRC member @KanoongoPriyank

He closely monitored progress of the case, ensuring it was not diluted. Such was his impact that a close aide of Shariq once reached his office in Delhi and asked him to withdraw from the matter. Priyank Ji threw him out of his office. The incident was widely covered by the media

Now comes his most significant intervention

He conceptualised a program to educate college girls across Bhopal about this racket as well as legal and social support available to any girl who is trapped but either is not recognising it yet or is too scared to break free

This program, named Sankalp, was taken up by @sewanyaya, run by @SanjeevSanskrit and me, and implemented through our partner @NetworkforJus

We selected a group of women college students from Bhopal, trained them and deployed them to conduct large-scale awareness sessions across campuses

In the past eight months, this group has educated over 8,000 girls across 100 colleges in Bhopal

During the program, several who attended these sessions later reached out to the team privately and managed to get out of such situations, while three went on to file actual police cases.

Yesterday, Priyank Ji and I were in Bhopal to mark the highly successful completion of the first year of this programme, along with MP Child Commission Chairperson Nivedita Sharma and the senior leadership of the LNCT Group of Colleges

I also met the remarkable trainers, mentored by the superb @nidhikartikey and @SalujaSanat

And I also met three victims of the scandal

Their stories are disturbing and I will share them another time

But I saw they have found their strongest support system and closest friends in the Sankalp team
