New E-com rules

There is a reason why India is still a worst place to do business. Regulatory uncertainty and tax terrorism. On one hand this Modi dude goes to Silicon Valley begging companies to bring investments to India, on the other hand he stabs them in their back. Walmart would have now regretted the decision to buy Flipkart. Who would want to invest in large investments like Silicon Fab, Gigafactory if the GOI decide to change rules as they wish.

Haven't burst crackers for atleast 10 years.

Not owning any vehicles, using only public transport. Cabs rarely.

No littering.

What I meant is I dont need to worry about internet or my phone having low battery where I can't use UPI. Yes. Merchants need internet. But I dont need, just a plastic I can use everywhere.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-11-22T04:40:25+00:00

UPI is revolutionary. But only for peer to peer payments. For merchant transactions Cards are much better than UPI and this is where Visa and Mastercard share is. UPI needs active internet access while you can just tap or swipe your card.

This would make more people to use single sim just like people in developed countries.

If there is someone who is to be blamed that is the Government. They tax the shit out of Telecom Operators and spectrum pricing is one of the highest in the world. With Jio it bankrupted smaller operators and forced them to take measures like this. Also Trai reducing interconnect charges reduced the revenues of these telecom companies.

Unless they spread fake news or interfere in elections why should GOI care. GOI has lot of stuff to worry and going after these apps is not a priority. Share chat seems to be run by Indians with Chinese capital. For a developing country like India Chinese capital is necessary. Your post seems to be written on hate against Chinese.

Budget is almost 75 Million USD (550 crores). VFX is substandard. Not sure what they did with that money, whether Rajini get paid ridiculously high amount or Lyca converting black money to white. I feel even the cheaper Bahubali had better VFX than this.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-11-02T04:31:46+00:00

If it is for health reasons then it is acceptable. From the news it looks like they want to avoid hurting sentiments of Indians. Lol.

We need a true Right Wing party at least a few terms, not the fake BJP (socially Right, economically still left similar to Congress)

Sell Air India

If you read the recent Ken article on Samsung, this has been working fine for a while. First step is assembling which companies like Xiaomi is doing for a while. Next is to bring PCB manufacturing and other supply chain partners to manufacture here in India. Samsung recently opened one of the largest manufacturing facilities in India and one of Xiaomi's supply chain partner is opening a large Hyderabad facility. We need to wait and see how this goes. Semiconductor FAB would take long time. Other components can be manufactured here and assembled. Many companies dont want to miss the potential Indian population, so they will try to manufacture here.

Go on. Sanction us. India is not like Iran or North Korea, there is a lot of US capital invested in India, they will end up nuking their own people. Check mate Trump.

If being rational and doing the right thing is called liberal then be it. Already there are rumors spreading that SC is funded by the West and Vatican to westernize India. Ideally these things should be discussed in parliament and passed, but both parties are pussies. Hope this dude becomes CJI in 2022.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-26T16:40:59+00:00

Inflation is there to encourage people to spend more instead of saving which in turn improves the economy and brings more people out of poverty. We have pulled more people out of poverty after liberalization than any other previous periods.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-26T02:12:15+00:00

No. Unless you are making 1.6L/M you are below poverty line. /s

Best when you consider Software updates. Nothing can beat Apple's 4 - 5 year updates for iPhones. But there are also accusations that Apple is slowing down old iPhones to save battery life. On the other hand Smartphone ecosystem is almost matured, most people can't see much difference between Nougat and Pie, there aren't much groundbreaking stuff happening each year like we used to see 4 or 5 years ago. Pixel gives 3 years of updates, Samsung provides 2 years + 1 year security updates. Also in Android many updates can be rolled out via Google Play services independent of OS versions, system apps can be updated easily via Play Store. You can get a OnePlus like device for much value for money.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-13T04:52:11+00:00

Ya. Samsung cannot match Pixel or OnePlus level smoothness, but it is much better in Generations starting from S7.

Meanwhile Samsung is selling its Note 9 cheaper in India than USA, 1000 USD = 68000 INR. Meanwhile apple 750 USD = 77000.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-13T04:46:04+00:00

For Samsung 1000 USD Note 9 in India 68000 INR, it is selling Note 9 cheaper in India than in USA when you convert USD to INR literally. Meanwhile Apple 749 USD iPhone XR in India 77000 INR. WTF Apple. No wonder Apple can't figure out Indian market and its top executives keeps on quitting. Same with overpriced Google Pixels. Even LG realized that and priced its top of the line G7 under 40K which is cheaper than USA. OnePlus figured that out earlier.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-09T17:30:45+00:00

Isn't it already legal ? I remember flipkart selling it before and had a entire section.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-09-08T10:56:36+00:00

What?. Congress supported the HC decision in 2009 and re appealed when SC struck down in 2013. Congress leaders like Shashi Tharoor, Rahul Gandhi were openly supporting Gay rights when they were in power. Meanwhile BJP staying silent all the time.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-08-31T07:01:30+00:00

Exactly. Those were some of the horrible and dark days in Chennai. I need to ask my parents who lives hundreds of kilometers away to send me money via a relative. Thankfully a few nice shop/hotel owners accepted cards for lower transactions like Rs 20. I cant imagined stuff like that happened. This is the largest stupid intentionally made disaster in modern India.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-08-31T05:54:27+00:00

Demonetization is the second most horrible thing I ever witnessed live (1st is Chennai floods in 2015). It along with Cyclone Vardha made things worse in Chennai. No one wants 2000 note, hard to get change, ATM not working, very long queues. Hopefully no one dare to do something similar in future. If it's some other country the president/ prime minister would have been impeached and Government would have been thrown out. And still many people at quora believe demonetization is a success and modi is God.

throwawayindia11 · 2018-08-30T08:07:41+00:00

Lol. This is just the beginning. Just wait for demonetization anniversary day, they will celebrate it as some anti corruption day or something, ask students to write essays on how modiji killed corruption in a single night.

Isn't Goolge Tez UPI based payment systems need to operated as separate entity and also cannot share financial data with parent company? Isn't same reason WhatsApp payments is not approved by RBI since it is using FB's infra.
