@RoadsOfMumbai When it was Jazz by the Bay ages ago, it was simply awesome.

The #scrappage incentive would have been more beneficial for the end user if the incentivisation was like income tax slabs. Older the vehicle gains a bigger incentive % to scrap and so forth. 20k on new seems too meagre. Is there a Govt rebate too? #Auto #incentivisation #policy

@nicogarcia Millions have heard of him and his philanthropy! “Never heard of” is a big exaggeration! 😅

@airtelindia #WiFi goes kaput for 3 days n I raise a complaint on the @Airtel_Presence app. Complaint is registered, technician calls but he doesn’t turn up! Now w/o WiFi I’m not able to raise another complaint. What lightening speed does @airtelnews talk about!? Pathetic!!!

@Prateek34381357 Which Tata vehicle has a carburettor? 🤔

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

That’s Mr. Arvind Saxena. Auto industry veteran. Or, am I missing something?

@airindia Sure, there can be tech problems but doesn’t mean pax should be kept languishing in the aircraft without aircon especially in this heatwave. Now I hear it’s taking off at 2200 (hopefully). Way too much delay! And BLR airport is too far out. Decisions should be taken faster.

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

@airindia AI 641 to #BLR was supposed to take off at 1850. Pax boarded at 1745 but due to aircon issues flight had not taken off till 15 mins ago. Pax were not even deplaned n shifted 2 another aircraft. No rescheduling either! More than an hr w/o AC in place. What’s happening?

@QuickRidein something wrong with your app? Trying to book a cab in Chennai to a city destination and look at the fares!

@rahulmlakhpati @Maruti_Corp @TataMotors I finally bought neither

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

Went to @Maruti_Corp & @TataMotors showrooms to test drive cars. Planning to buy a second car. Chalk and cheese experience in both showrooms. Big difference in products too. I am a customer, about to buy so this is my real time experience. Read on… #CustomerExperience

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

@Maruti_Corp your products might be best selling but your salesmen need training on customer treatment. I wont be going for any of your cars. Product wise @TataMotors cars were impressive, very spacious, sturdy and had a decent feature list. Clincher was the nice salesman.

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

@NexaExperience - salesman attitude was as if he was selling a #Minicooper 😄 Didn’t have a test drive car. Showed us a customer #Fronx due for delivery for Gudi Padva - the car was filthy and delivery was 2morrow. I walked out. #CustomerExperience

[Sushant Balsekar @sushantis]

Too high level, without much detail on how will this secure OEMs who have already committed and manufacturing #evs. Will be interesting to see how much FDI this will bring in.

@mahapatra_abhi @ICICIBank @HDFC_Bank too. Guess they get paid to not serve customers but to only disturb them by calling them as soon as a new scheme is launched.

@sumantbanerji I mean, that’s why the long article. Fortunate that he was given the space.
