@makemytripcare And this request has now taken 1 year - still not resolved. Flight was for 22 April 2020

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

@makemytripcare This is the error which I keep getting - MMT is no longer generating new requests. Moreover, I got a whatsapp saying that refund is not at all applicable (even though MMT has refunded wrong amount)

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

@makemytripcare Booking id is NN2112953081056

Over delivery at work is directly proportional to insecurity

SaaS for SMBs - replace pen and paper
SaaS for enterprises - replace MS Excel

@makemytripcare Great, now an automated reply to the tweet as well?

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

@makemytrip, @makemytripcare - your customer support has gone into a loop.
Automated chat on web asks me to call.
Automated voice on call asks me to go to web.

@aniket_baj Pitch 2 (whatsapp audio recording) - I was selected in a global lottery organized by Whatsapp. The payment has already reached India and require Aadhar, bank details to process payment. Also suggested that I don't disclose this to anyone - else someone might try to scam :p

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Scammers are definitely creative minds.
Heard two different (equally creative) pitches to share my Aadhar number and bank details

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

@aniket_baj Pitch 1 (call to my mom) - said that one of my investment policy has matured and I am not picking up the call. Hence asked my mom to share my Aadhar card and bank details on my behalf so that they can validate and process payment

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Wasn't aware Japan lags India on digital payments penetration (despite higher internet and banking penetration).

Just like VCs support young entrepreneurs and reap rewards when they succeed, scientists should start seeking funding for risky research in exchange for co-authorship on the paper.

If the paper becomes a breakthrough, the funder deserves as much reward as the scientist.

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Why haven't we heard anything from Jio on food delivery yet?

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

We should talk more about India tech stack. Got to know that Aadhaar e-KYC reduced cost of customer onboarding for a bank from $23 to $0.15.
Also, without eKYC, it would have been impossible for Jio to verify 100 Mn users in its first 6 months

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Two ways to improve a market and increase efficiencies:
1. Kill unorganised and replace with organised players
2. Organise the unorganised
Not sure which one is easier

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Social commerce has more users from T2+ cities vs Metro/T1
T2+ is now starting to lead the way in upcoming business models

[Shaurya Gupta @Shaurya120]

Smartphones, smart homes, smart cars, smart watches..

When will we have smart apparels?
