@iampavankalyank I ordered a soundbar from their website and I am suffering with defective product and pathetic service! @JBLSoundIn needs to pull their shit together when it comes to respecting customers. No response for the last 10 days and their service channel is slow and useless!

@JBLSoundIn @HarmanIndia @HarmanKardonIN I have a complaint on going - complaint id is : TN-C050825-34278 - I got the SB510 sound bar delivered on Aug 4, which came defective - the order was from JBL India website.

[Srinath @srinatsrinat]

For general public - please do not buy from JBL India website, it is pathetic! Their playbook is simple.
1. Make you follow up a million times.
2. Register a complaint only if you follow up.
3. Give the same response - pls wait 24-48 hrs.
4. Prioritize convenience over issue.

[Srinath @srinatsrinat]

Indeed.

Such a joy to work with amazingly talented people at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink & Boring Co!

@malpani It was never in the past while it was still present.

[Learner Vivek Bajaj @vivbajaj]

This is not a startup. Its a cult. What a money making machine. Just amazing. So much to learn from them.

[Srinath @srinatsrinat]

Deep tech is underrated, esp in combination with hardware.

[Rahul Raj @x_rahulraj]

Most of the unicorns celebrated in India are mostly fintech or aggregation platforms. This may be my personal bias, but I feel that manufacturing, automation and R&D startups need more support and recognition than what they get.

@Keyan99406 @SarojTripathi20 Yes that's why I singled out Electrical Engineering, I was foolish enough to waste my prime years getting a PhD, ultimately realizing how out of touch with reality academia was becoming.

At least it taught me a life lesson in being grounded in reality vs floating in abstraction.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

3/ The rot runs far deeper in academia. Fields as diverse as Electrical Engineering and Psychology have become increasingly detached from reality.

We must not accord the academic priesthood the automatic presumption of expertise but evaluate their claims carefully. 🙏

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

The argument that bitcoin is not subject to any government does not persuade me. Since its value is driven by psychology (we can make up any number of alternative blockchain currencies), military/state backing becomes a vital part of psychology. Governments have powers.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Why I don't invest in any cryptocurrency.

(Eventually fiat currencies will likely adopt blockchain TECHNOLOGY and that doesn't help bitcoin)

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

"43 unicorns in 2021 are more than the 30 odd unicorns created in the entire history of the Indian startup scene"

Anyone who has studied the history of investment bubbles should find this very worrying.

Here is a good book to read to prepare ahead:
