Now is the time to be *extra* careful with Covid safety. More so than March (remember those days?)

@entrackr is doing some brilliant work around startup news. Honest, unbiased and factual reporting. Haven't seen a lot of guys go through MCA filings to report facts accurately.

More power to you @jaivardhan88 and the whole team at @entrackr.

I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday.

Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.

But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@jaivardhan88 @entrackr @entrackr matters and the ecosystem recognises that. Huge respect for what you’ve built in such a short time. Sequoia says it best - It takes resilient founders to build enduring companies. The “share” “retweets” and “likes” will follow!

Paytm just announced through a blog that Paytm Postpaid is live and in use https://t.co/506SG14vvd. If that's the case - Why Paytm Care said to multiple users via tweets - Paytm Postpaid has been suspended forever? Refer to screenshots in our story.
