The more I see folks using AI, the more I see gaps in their skill..Hope people soon realise that AI can’t cover for the lack of skill(domain) they need to work on it

Yet again it proves why ethics, building things right, compliance and corporate governance are non negotiable while building a company. When we are in growth very important to view every move and initiative with these angles. It may slow the velocity but will not shut you down

[Vikram Chandrashekar @Vikrchan]

We love to fight for our cities. We show oneupmanship about a thing about the city. Mumbai’s never say die attitude and the “spirit” , Chennai’s music festival
Kerala’s countryside , Bengaluru’s weather. We also have mud slinging fests on the other cities and these fights have become an everyday affair. No one is gaining. We arent putting in efforts to change our cities , except a few noble souls. We don’t really are about our cities . If we did we would throw garbage all over the city.

We are a still in the nostalgia that our civilisation built stepwells, aligned with the stars, invented zero and all achievements great
Yet, place us in a lengthy queue ,something ancient and rebellious awakens. There are always folks cutting the queue.
It is not that we do not understand cleanliness or order. We adore it , alas only in theory. We admire spotless airport floors. We post photographs of European streets with captions about “civic sense.” We remove footwear before entering homes and temples with reverence.

Perhaps the problem is that our enforcement mechanisms are dull. A sign that says “Do Not Litter” has zero persuasive power A painted line on the floor assumes a level of obedience , does it?. If we have to improve civic behaviour, we must first understand ourselves. We are not frightened by rules. We are moved by spectacle, embarrassment, and competition.
Take littering. The average citizen does not fear a fine; he fears being noticed.
Maybe we need a “Sanskaar Rating,” a civic score attached not to income but to conduct. Return your tray at a food court? Five points. Pick up a stray plastic bottle? Twenty. Jump a queue? Minus fifteen. Those with high scores receive small, delicious privileges: a faster lane at government counters, a priority token at the temple, perhaps even a modest discount on income tax. We are a people who will stand in line for a crowded concert , a new hyped restaurant or for a new phone launch. Why not the same for dignity?
Some will argue that such measures trivialise a serious issue. On the contrary, they recognise a serious truth: culture changes not only through fear but through narrative. We behave impeccably in airports and temples because those spaces feel watched, valued, sacred. If we made our streets feel similarly visible we might discover that discipline is less about fines and more about audience. The Metro stations are a classic example . No one litters there . It is an equaliser of classes of society some say.
The real scandal is not that we litter or cut queues. It is that we know better. We lecture our children about responsibility while expertly shaving three minutes off a line. We sigh at overflowing drains while contributing a plastic cup to the mix. The contradiction is almost appalling .
So let us stop relying solely on stern signage and occasional fines. Maybe we could even try humour as policy. Or engineer embarrassment . Let us turn civic behaviour into a game we are slightly afraid to lose.

Maybe we should start teaching these things practically instead of schools . India has a great culture should be just with our homes and our Gods. Can we treat our cities and fellow living beings better. Instead of teaching moral science through a text book , can we show our children that we are indeed a culture who would like to preserve our cities and dignity by participating and involving them young .

We start saying it’s the elected Govts role to keep cities clean, we after all elected them and pay taxes . Doesn’t mean we should litter at will . We can take some responsibility of being a human . The governments too are happy not doing their bit , strict vigilance of the contracts , provide dustbins at all public places etc . They just sit back and watch us fight our other cities

Whose city is it ??

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

The number os helplines and apps that state government is rolling out, we need a helpline to know which helpline to use when and also one more app to give status on which ones are working and which aren’t, i am talking only about helpline and apps not help

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

I feel MLA should have a basic rating based on services done, if they don’t hit a certain rating they shouldn’t be allowed to contest next elections

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

Also important to deal with things in a local way, MLA and GBA in charge should map their area and have a basic checklist of what needs to be done. Seems like there is no intent

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

It’s very unfortunate that even after a year of what Bengaluru faced due to rains our infra remains poor. Yesterday was an absolute nightmare for people on the road.
We need better @GBA_office @DKShivakumar

@ganeshsonawane @myfrido one of the best products from your stable so far :) full day office usage and feels like feet and toes are free and not confined to a box.
Always had to resort to gel Kayano from asics for flat feet or birkens

Semi skilled and skilled labour addition has been slowing down and is a problem for the future

[Narayanan Hariharan @narayananh]

One unintended consequence of the food-delivery boom is that an entire generation stopped taking skilled trades seriously.

Electricians, plumbers, masons, carpenters, painters, etc saw fewer entrants because delivery apps, especially during the VC-fuelled growth years, made app-based work look like faster and easier money.

Today, a huge chunk of South India’s skilled labour workforce comes from UP, Bihar, Odisha, and the Northeast because local supply simply isn’t enough anymore.

Now funding has tightened, payouts are normalising, and reality is catching up. ₹20/km starts sounding unrealistic when even a small sedan costs roughly that much to hire.

The irony? My electrician makes well over ₹2 lakh a month. My plumber makes over ₹1.5 lakh a month. Both have more stability, stronger long-term prospects, and far more pricing power than most gig workers.

India genuinely needs more people going back into skilled trades.

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

@ShachiGambhir Oh..which level would be folks who watch reels and climb down stairs in public spaces and cut the line at metro gates..

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

Delhi Capitals didn’t seem like winning at any point of the game not even until last 2 balls! Cricket is a funny game.

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

@DeePakao Will you still have place in the room ?

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

IPL is a long tournament and folks can lose form during the season..time to give few of the non form folks a break..Jitesh, Bethell, Josh, Suyash, Rasik i feel is done for the season and we need to look for another bowler and Romario is neither batting or bowling, should be done

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

Folks who join an org in leadership roles can’t make a significant contribution unless they are there for at least 2.5-3+ years,how is that most leaders who leave the role in 15-24 mnths say they are the ones responsible for company scaling up delusional or am i missing something

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

@NammaBESCOM Hi Indu. How do I reach out other than tweeting ?

[Sanjay Sunku @sunku]

@NammaBESCOM 1912 doesn’t work and no response on the WhatsApp number. How to report that power isn’t there and also street lights aren’t working from a week ?

[Josh Payne @jnpayne]

Second-time founders be like…

> GTM > PMF
> Go fully remote
> Profitability is king
> Must have a Big TAM
> Outsource non-core tasks
> Have great advisors/investors
> Prioritize customer conversations
> Focused on retention over growth
> Hire fewer, more experienced people
> Document everything on Notion/Slack
> Thinking in decades and acting in days

None of this stuff came from a book.

It came from living through the first company.

The price of admission was worth it.

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence My ticket is pending resolution from 29th April. Your service team calls and says a technician is scheduled and nothing happens.
If this is not fixed by tomorrow I am going to port all 7 numbers to alternate service provider and move my DTH too.
