@IronyMeter @TVMohandasPai @RajivMessage And yet someone like Pai believes they are the reason for it.

@TVMohandasPai Not a pleasant sight to watch you sully Sikka in social media. One can easily say the same to your career achievements too. And wonder what difference it would have made if you weren't in the right place at the right time.

@Samhitab4u Not without a reason Bengaluru is the garbage capital of India. The current CM says its garbage lobby problem. One can't walk half a km in this city without a missing footpath, potholes, missing manhole cover, broken footpaths and garbage strewn all around the side walks!

@ravihanda @Iamsamirarora Can't blame the distributor community if investors are ignorant. With the level of transparency on NAVs for direct funds, it wouldn't take long to figure this, and we can't say that hidden. If it's large enough and important investors will figure out.

@ValueWithPrem Cities babe already transitioned to townships, large integrated complexes with offices inside. Townships like this existed since long as well. Jamshedpur is another example. We need more of these and that comes with targeted investments in ecosystem for specific sectors

@srinivas_deepu The lesser the number of times you step in to a PSU bank branch or a govt office or a police station, the longer your lifespan is.

@nikhilnarayanan You don’t meet the basic eligibility criteria. You have to be a Kannadiga who moved to Bengaluru from other parts of Karnataka.

@DcpComdCentre may we know what was the reason for activating the signal at the hanging bridge exit near Benniganahalli Metro station? Traffic seems to have jammed up till Avalahalli.

@gharkekalesh Like i keep saying when i see such idiots on the road and i stay away from them “They will meet their match soon” This is a perfect example of that.

@di_an @CricketopiaCom Good old days when ball tampering was so rampant and officials and public were naive enough to think its skill. I wouldn’t know whether he was a genuine great or a tampering tiger!

@HECTORS_TroY @CricketopiaCom Easy money bro. Purists can take a walk. Commerce drives sports!

[Senthil TG @tgsk2000]

@thekaipullai Several nuances involved. Judiciary needs to be efficient for serving justice in time. Stricter punishments will almost always lead to execution paralysis as decision making slows keeping this in mind. We need to study how this is ensured while increasing punishments.

@Raman7090159796 @Vivek_Iyer_ @kushal_mehra any dimwit who says Hindi is Bharat’s language doesn’t know the real bharat has multiple official languages, along with Sanskrit.

@dmuthuk Sums up perfectly. Cookie cutter approach hasn't worked and still not working. RaGa is right here. Not in this lifetime for the Gujjus.

How Government vs Market equation works and how we are still a weird country.

In Sept 2025, GST rates on motorcycles changed. It created 2 categories. Above and below 350 cc.

Older rate of GST was 28% on all bikes. Now, above 350 cc bikes had rate 40% and below ones had 18%.

So, that meant most models of Royal Enfield got cheaper and all bikes of Triumph got expensive as they started from 400 cc engines.

Triumph & Bajaj are in business partnership in India. Some bikes of Bajaj like Pulsar 400 & Dominar also got expensive.

But, Bajaj & Triumph decided to absorb the tax hike & did not transfer the load on customers as they are still finding a footing in India.

On the other hand, RE made bumper sales & launched new colours, models, & variants.
Triumph had to do something. They cannot always absorb losses.

So, they decided to cut some power in their 400 cc engine and relaunched all the models in 350 cc engines from April 2026.

Entire lineup of Triumph is now 350cc and they did not change the name of bikes. Imagine what all they had to do due to a little tax policy change by Government.

Is that healthy for businesses that they are vulnerable to such policy changes? I don’t know. Who decided that limit of 350 cc and not 400 cc? Or let’s say 200 cc? Was it some scientific or logical decision?

These things certainly discourage great international brands from coming to India.

@sumanthraman Rent seeking mentality has to go. Pay the candidate for the value he is bringing in and not what he was paid prior? If you pay peanuts you will get monkeys.

@bengalurupost1 this is atrocious abuse of power. What if someone else gets elected in 2 yrs time for this constituency? For sure this will be pulled down. Can’t expect anything better from this Congress govt which is in power to loot Bengalureans

@jcrajan00 Fabric is the largest cost of it. Imagine having to import Zippers, buttons, Fusings/linings which used to be manufactured in India before. Our dependency on global supply chain for a sector that we used to be atmanirbhar is an outcome of government apathy to a labour intensv ind
