Found something weird on Zomato 👀

Same restaurant. Same item ₹394.83. Same ₹140 coupon.

iPhone 14 → GST ₹12.74
iPhone 16 Pro → GST ₹19.74

5% GST should be ₹19.74 before the coupon.

Why is the coupon reducing taxable value on one device but not the other?

How do you keep track of all your subscriptions?

I've realized I have subscriptions spread across streaming services, software, cloud storage, apps, memberships, etc.

Some are monthly, some yearly, and some I barely remember signing up for.

I'm curious how you deal with this?

My Beardo trimmer stopped charging. Customer support said it’s out of warranty, so buy a new one. They don’t even have service centers for repairs.

Selling electronics without repair support only creates more e-waste. #RightToRepair #Beardo

This is the confirmation email after submitting an application to @IITKanpur

No applicant name and details.
No next steps.
No timeline.
No warmth.

A confirmation email isn’t just a notification - it’s the first impression after a long application process.

Apple didn’t just acquire an app.

It acquired a workflow.

The best acquisitions aren’t about removing competitors.
They’re about bringing the best ideas in-house.

That’s exactly what Play brings to Xcode.

Dear @IITKanpur

World-class education deserves a world-class digital experience.

An application form shouldn't expose backend validation errors, hide required fields, or make applicants guess what's wrong.

Good UX isn't a luxury. It's the first impression of your institution.

"Human Capital + Token Capital"

That's how Satya Nadella sees the future of companies.

AI won't replace expertise. It will amplify and compound it.

The real moat isn't the model. It's the learning loop between your people and your AI.

A single government order can cut off access to the world's most advanced AI models overnight.

Just as India built its own capabilities in space, defense, and payments, we need sovereign AI infrastructure too.

AI is no longer just technology. It's national infrastructure. 🇮🇳

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Real leadership is when development reaches villages, not just headlines.

Andhra Pradesh securing 5 National Panchayat Awards shows what focused rural governance can achieve under ’s leadership.

Strong villages build strong states. 🇮🇳 @paw

1995:
Call pizza shop → order in 2 mins → delivered in 30 mins.

2026:
Download app → signup → OTP → map issue → payment failed → surge fee → 140 mins delivery.

Technology improved.
Experience didn’t. 🍕

Anyone can create hype.
Very few can build trust.

@PawanKalyan chose the harder path - patience, alliances, governance, and responsibility over shortcuts.

Leadership is tested after the applause fades.

A few years ago, building software felt intimidating.

Today AI lets anyone with curiosity become a builder.

Grateful to be in Replit’s top 2% builders today. 🚀

@claudeai is powerful, but the usage limits are frustrating.

You hit the cap after just a few prompts, and you’re stuck waiting for hours — even as a subscriber.

Great product, broken experience.

One mistake many legacy brands make after becoming famous:
they stop seeing the customer.

Visited Babai Hotel today at Whitefield expecting authenticity.
Got indifferent service, poor hygiene, and below average food.

India’s biggest startup advantage isn’t invention.

It’s adaptation at population scale.

That’s harder than copying.

[Veera @virupaaksa]

India quietly built billion-dollar startups by adapting global ideas locally.

Not copying.

Re-engineering for India.
