Exactly. No one is talking about how a Muslim tailor was killed by a bunch of Hindus and brazenly captured in video which also threatened the country's PM of a similar fate. The Hindu community then proceeded to pelt stones on the Poli

I have been to one of these scam call centres. The workers there are just paid per 'lead'. They read off a script and the if the person at the other end agrees to part with the information, then they add the information to the fo

All of these scamming companies are subcontracted to by Americans. The employees there are just poor people manning phone desks - as long as it is wihtin the law they are not doing anything wrong. The Americans who subcontract to them are t

All countries have a deep corruption problem. Do you have any data to suggest that India's problem is bigger than others ?

Purpose of a company is to create value in whatever way it has identified. Growth is a corollary of that purpose. Once the company has identified what value it provides, creating more of that value is the next logical step - hence the pursu

America is beginning to sound a bit like China. The problem is that China had to roll over a Tiananmen to get here and even then it wasnt easy. Now either the Democrats+Tech cabal decide to tilt all the way to make America another China, or

I have tried all these things, but they dont work for me. How about when you dont feel like working, simply don't work. Do something you feel like and then work when you feel like it again.

Ridiculous meddling by the government. There are a zillion ways to circumvent this ruling - each of which are easier done by big guys rather than smaller startups. The only thing all this meddling ends up doing is making the space hard for

IMO the biggest Indian startups are dramatically reducing the cost of urban living. The fact that India's cities are heavily disorganised counter intuitively helps in this. The other sectors which is mostly overlooked but just getting

You are reading the article wrong - maybe because you are prejudiced to reading it wrong. The article is part legend and part truth. The robots weren't anything like the robots of today. There were mostly likely simple machines shaped

I actually didnt go out and got a dog for myself - I somehow got possession of him through a coincidental sequence of events. I didn't mean that my dog in particular was hard work - I guess all dogs are like this and which is why they

Had to walk my dog after dinner for atleast 30mins EVERY SINGLE DAY while he was around. That itself should account for this.

No its not. India has a ridiculous number of rivers and surrounded by ocean on all sides. What India is facing is distribution issues and there are already broadly understood solutions to the problem.

Sleeper buses are huge in India. The railways are choked because they are run by the government. For overnight travels outside your city, sleeper buses are the most convenient options for the vast majority of the people - cheaper than fligh

Actually for India the real electric car has already arrived and it is already seeing widespread usage. It costs less than $2000 and goes around 80kms on a single charge. It looks like a narrower auto rickshaw, most of them are manufactured

India auto sector (mostly ICE based) is a bit in the doldrums. It seems to me that govt. just maybe wants to let it be in favor of a longer term move to electric.

Contrarian view. Read the article top to bottom - there is no fraud here. This is exactly how it should be done. VC's dont know shit about AI and you cant expect them to. Anyone building a cutting edge AI product, SHOULD NOT build it b

Seems to me this is Tiananmen part 2 unfolding before our eyes. And doesnt look like anyone will come to Hongkongs help. Hoping India will step up and do something. Seems unlikely though.

India has a lot of people whose surname is Modi. Not all of them voted for Modi. And the urban migration didnt start after Modi - it has been happening for quite some time now.

I think urban areas of around 30-40mn are doable. We just need around 30 cities to take most of the population.
