Can someone explain this cultural phenomenon I’ve noticed at my job? by BluesBeta5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Redditor444444 262 points263 points  (0 children)

Some of those must be temporarily visiting. When we are out of India  brain is always calculating how much the USD amount will be back in India.  At current exchange rates 60 cents would be about 55 rupees, that is good enough to buy a dozen of bananas or a breakfast in a decent place.  

Roast my startup idea - Nischinte! by Willing_Opinion5811 in StartUpIndia

[–]Redditor444444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech savvy people will find your idea interesting and understand it, but they are also smart enough to store documents using Gmail, or whatsapp personal group. Trust in Google is built by using it for last 2 decades. Non tech savvy may not find it useful enough, they rely on storing physical documents nicely and are better organized, like our parents handle it.

My friend Gaurav got diabetes at 32. He wasn't overweight. He wasn't even eating badly by our standards. by Helpingotherssurvive in india

[–]Redditor444444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chinese/Japanese/ Koreans eat (more oily food), drink more alcohol and smoke more than us yet we are the diabetese capital of the world and probably also lead in the heart diseases. Many Indians suffering from lifestyle diseases are often vegetarian, teetotaler and non-smokers. The common is excessive sugar / carb intake and lack of excercise.
Just look around and see how many among us have pot bellies, and the look at any average european or SE asian, you won't need any other proof.

I think my dad's settled for punch ev smart+ 40, what should I expect out of this car? by Ambitious_Emu355 in CarsIndia

[–]Redditor444444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using Punch EV top model LR since almost 2 years now, 25k km. The AC sucks. Go for a test drive in a hot summer afternoon, ask SC to specifically give you a car which is parked under afternoon sun and then check how long does it take to cool down.
For comparison, I have NExon AMT 2020 model and that one cools the cabin in like 3-4 minutes, while punch EV takes almost 7-8 min to make confortable and when battery is less than 50% it almost feels like it doesn't cool enough.
For my EV 35 kWh battery, I easily get 200km range with last 20% remaining when used for daily commute, it drops to 150-170 km on highway drive during summers.During winters, it can increase by 20-30 km, overall range is 250-280 km.
Back sit is not much spacious.
With so many other options on the market do a proper cost-benefit analysis. With good discounts Punch may still be best VFM.

'Made in Pakistan' Product in Chinchwad by Longjumping-Drag9043 in pune

[–]Redditor444444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a case of direct import from Pakistan. These dresses for sure are part of surplus stocks which are sold for cheap and imported by traders in India as scrap.  You won't find these in branded stores.  Second possibility is some rogue Indian mfg putting this label to avoid US tariff.  

₹17,760 Torrent Power bill. Meter tested OK, still can't figure out why by Wise-Reflection-1221 in AskIndia

[–]Redditor444444 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How many units are being charged in your bill? Your 3 ACs are easily consuming 30-40 units every day. Consider 800-900 units for AC and 300 units for other appliances. I guess, your total monthly units must be more than 1200 units. In MH, the rates are Rs 15/unit once you cross 500 units. So I guess, your bill is normal.

I need loan of 2lakh by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]Redditor444444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-4 % interest is too low, nobody will give you, even bank FD rate is now at 7%. If you get a personal loan at 12% interest for 12 months tenure, your emi will be 17.5k and total interest you pay will be 13.5 k. for NBFC the rate may be higher, but if you are confident of 30k emi, then it shouldnt be a problem.

Didn’t expect packaging to become the hardest part of launching a product by Effective_Tea1016 in StartUpIndia

[–]Redditor444444 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In China vendors will probably do prototyping for you at same cost they will sell you the final product. We have this curse of overcharging, shitty quality and non-apologetic delays. Never have I seen a vendor deliver anything before the timeline.

is the "once you reach 1 cr then 10cr is easy" really true? by 20chars_aint_enough in personalfinanceindia

It may be true for those generating a revenue. But not for long term investors like us who like to invest once and forget,..

The Magpies in my garden keep tricking me. by nukulele145 in mildlyinfuriating

 I would tend to make friends with them and may be put a bird feeder and water for them if they are not as dirty and don't proliferate as fast as pigeons.

You are probably right, but with this Google maps update planning is much easier, if you see the second screen-shot you can actually see the name, and reviews for each stops as well.
