Founder creating equal employment opportunities by motivating to program for Accessibility

@anon_opin When finances are running dry for some and work opportunity gives that slim chance to grow and when reasonable accommodation is an hour away from work…

And schools want more money every now and then for sports day costumes and all.

Education for kids is becoming way beyond expensive! My daughter is now in LKG. Her fees are already 60k+. When I thought this was high for kg level education, her primary schooling fees are over 2 lakhs now. By the time she gets to her 1st standard, I guess fees could be 2.5 L!

⁦@WhatsApp⁩ should have “lists” in attachments which can appear in media/links/docs/*lists tab. Would be useful to pin or export to other list apps like to-dos/planners. #featureRequest

⁦@rapidobikeapp⁩ how does support work? Seems stuck. No one is calling. No one is chatting. Bot promised to connect with human and no trace. I am supposed to exit chat? Or if exit chat will close the session?

@ku1deep I switched to Payoneer. Fast transfers and better conversion rates.

Use of screen (#textToSpeech) announced it as “Shreyas Lah’yer)

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

@inshorts - why are you using “l” for @ShreyasIyer15’s last name. The letter “l” stands for “letter” whereas “I” stands for “Iceland”/“Iyer”

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

Check this screenshot of your shorts.

@Google coming up with Android for PC. I hope they get the accessibility focus well-synced with keyboard focus. My experience with Android TV and kb connected smartphones gave lags in dragging both together from an element to next. #Accessibility #android #keyboard #PC

Investors shouldn't face both equity dilution and taxes on funded ventures.

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

The government taking equity stakes in startups, instead of only providing grants after a certain valuation or turnover is reached, is a good way to generate revenue. Grants can continue to support startups during their founding periods. #governance #startups #returnsOnInvestment

In May 2025, #Maharashtra implemented a new Aggregator Cabs Policy that caps surge pricing for app-based cab services like #Uber and #Rapido at 1.5 times the base fare

And @Uber_India still manages to cross 75ish mark for a 50ish ride.

@Airtel_Presence That is dirty way of earning money. CC @thetimesofindia @theindianexpres @ndtvindia @palkisu @jagograhakjago

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

@airtelindia Has this weird way of looting people with #disabilities.
1. No compliance with #accessibility requirements.
2. No way I can stop plan.
3. When I haven’t recharged, force an extended 1 month plan.

@Airtel_Presence To force a connection when no renewal is made is #lootTheCustomer policy.

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

@Airtel_Presence I have shared WiFi connection details. Please close the connection. I have been wanting to cancel it since May 2025. As your app is not accessible, could never find where and how to stop services. Had thought not renewing will do the needful and now have overdue notifications.

[Siddhant Chothe @sidnc86]

6. I am now stuck in a loop getting nowhere.

4. No way to reach a human to get issue addressed (inability to cancel and forced extra month charged)
5. If I use pause feature, it asks for payment for the 1 month they forced on me leaving no accessible means to cancel.

2. I switch it to French sometimes and have started to refresh my lost vocabulary.

@GeminiApp’s live feature is simply fantastic for blind user like me:
1. As a parent, it assists me in understanding my daughter’s HW assignment from her book.
