This is the condition of freelancing in India.
I don’t usually use X for this. But sometimes you have to speak up so other freelancers don’t walk into the same trap.
Around August 2025, I worked on a project with Honey Veda (they also appeared on @sharktankindia )
The workflow was standard: 50% upfront, 50% after delivery
Everything was delivered fully documented and completed.
After delivery, the person I was directly working with this guy Vivek Rajoria — suddenly changed the narrative. The project was apparently “not complete” anymore, despite receiving 100% of the deliverables.
Then the classic move started: Ghosting. Delays. “Talk to the CEO Hardik Joshi instead.”
The CEO Hardik Joshi apparently hardly have time to check his email, whatsapp, and all the communication media, even a cellular call. Must be an extremely busy schedule lol.
After months of chasing a payment that was already earned, I eventually gave up for my own mental peace.
That was 7 months ago.
Today something unexpected happened. They accidentally added me to their SEO strategy call that was meant for another freelancer. I joined the call, greeted everyone normally. They said I was added by mistake.
But since the CEO was on the call, I thought it was the perfect time to ask about the pending payment.
The moment I started speaking: The CEO instantly left the call, then Vivek Rajoria started abusing me, and then he left the call as well. Professionalism at its finest.
Fortunately, I recorded the call.
The video below shows exactly how the conversation went.
I’m posting this for one reason:
Freelancers deserve to be paid for work they deliver. If you’re working with HoneyVeda, make sure your payment terms are protected.

I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs.
(Saves ~$30K per collection shoot and boosts on-site conversion rates by ~20%)
Here's what the system does under the hood:
→ Firecrawl pulls product images straight from any e-commerce collection URL
→ Calico AI turns them into realistic model videos capturing fit, texture, and movement
→ Every video starts and ends on the original product shot for seamless looping
→ Output is auto-labeled, sorted, and pushed directly to Google Drive
→ The entire pipeline runs in batch — zero manual intervention
The outcome: brands can give every single SKU a video asset, not just their bestsellers — and conversion lifts are immediate.
Static images don't cut it anymore.
Buyers want to see how a product moves before they commit.
If you want the full breakdown,

I'll send you the complete n8n workflow, every prompt, and a step-by-step walkthrough video — totally free. (Must be following so I can DM you.)
No more $30K production shoots.
No more wondering if your product pages are leaving money on the table.

I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs.
(Saves $30K per collection shoot, increases conversion rates by 40% on sites)
Here's how the automation works:
→ Firecrawl scrapes product photos from any e-commerce collection page
→ Google's Veo 3.1 generates professional model videos showing fit and movement
→ Each animation starts and ends with the original photo for seamless looping
→ Videos are automatically organized and stored in Google Drive
→ Everything processes in batches while you handle other business priorities
This system can transform how fashion companies showcase products and consistently drives higher engagement from potential customers.
Static product photos just don't cut it anymore. Customers want to see how clothes actually fit and move before they buy.

Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out.
We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away.
Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else".
Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do?
It does not make any sense @harleyf@ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions.
Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify.
When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out.
Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify@tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.
Best thing about @PerplexityComet :
There is a canva file which completely hangs my laptop when I open it in chrome.
Works ok when I open through comet
