@Ankittskedia What will locals eat if you export everything!! Ban export of mangoes and oranges

India produces over 24 million metric tons of mangoes every year, almost half the world’s supply. And still, we export less than 1%. A lot of the best quality mangoes go in that 1%, and the rest stays here. There’s a huge export opportunity, but we’re busy arguing over whether Alphonso is better or Langra. Sadly we dominate production, but not perception.

@manujjindalIAS Bainganpalle is the best mango ever !!

Ratnagiri mangoes grow in the beautiful lateritic soils of Konkan coast & get their distinct flavour from the salty breeze off the Arabian Sea… There is absolutely NO MATCH for the Ratnagiri Alphonso. That being said, Mumbai or Pune Vada Pav is also G.O.A.T of snacks!

@knbalaji_hosur @Technicalchart1 You consume only .5 ltr milk everyday?

@Technicalchart1 For ½ltr milk your mother orders from application daily ? What about delivery charges ? It'll be more than the price of the milk ! Why can't you people buy from those who deliver daily or buy from nearby stores ?

My mother buys milk on quick commerce every morning. She never compares apps. She just hits 'reorder.' Today I checked for her. Amul Gold 500ml: → Blinkit: ₹38 → Instamart: ₹33 Same milk. ₹5 difference. Every single day. That's ₹150/month. ₹1,800/year. Just because she trusted one app. Quick commerce isn't selling convenience. It's monetising your habit of not checking. @Amul_Coop — your consumers deserve to know. Save this. Check your app also. @instamart_it @letsblinkit

@Saanvi_dhillon What's the point in earning in youth and spending when you're old!! At live a reasonable good life with the help of EMIs!!

EMI system needs to be banned in India. Not everything should be available on EMI. Nowadays, people don’t want to become rich they just want to look rich. Everyone wants an iPhone Pro, even if they can’t actually afford it. People earning ₹20–25k are buying iPhones on EMI just to maintain an image at work. I even saw a garbage collector using an iPhone Pro Max. That’s when I realized this is pure show-off culture. Same with KTM bikes. Many are bought on EMI only for status, not need. EMI should be for important things like education or essentials, not for flexing. Looking rich is easy. Being financially stable is what actually matters.

Dear Mutuals and Friends, Thinking of switching to an EV scooter for daily use Which one would you recommend reliable, good range & value for money? Ola Electric ? Ather? TVS? Or something underrated? 🤔

@harimenon_bb It's not your slider zip lock bag it's ANY zip lock slider bag!!

Our team spent months working out the right pod size for this frozen pea, measuring it down to the millimetre. And yet, the zip-lock slider bag it comes in that took a day to design, has become as popular as the matar itself. I've been told that hundreds of people have written in about how they're happily reusing the bag for storing dry fruits and other pantry items. Something that none of us thought would impress so many. A reminder that the customer always knows something about your product that you don't... which is what makes them the most valuable people in your business. 😄 @bigbasket_com #bigbasket #fresho #privatelabels

@gurjota Foreign capital in equity markets itself is a geopolitical risk !!

One by one everyone is dropping truth bombs "India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows."

@gu__pt @BhavinTolia @Fintech03 I like the faint noise from EVs more than asymmetrical growl of ice !!

@BhavinTolia @Fintech03 Kabhi socha hai bahut sari cheez jaise mixer grinder ya electric shaver engine par chalte. kitna feasible hote ? Ha ye soch ke bhi ajeeb lagta hai... Itna hi ajeeb ICEs ko continue rakhna bas feel ke liye. EVs have much better efficiency, less moving part and less complicated

A traditional Toyota/Honda IC engine has ~200-300 major moving parts in the core engine (pistons, valves, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods, etc.), a high-end Chinese EV (like a BYD/Xiaomi) has about 20 moving parts in its electric drivetrain (primarily the rotor in the motor(s). Japan traditionally takes 48-60+ months to develop a new car model from concept to productio, China has compressed this to 18-24 months. Xiaomi went from smartphone maker to delivering its 1st production EV (the SU7) in ~3 yrs (announced intent around 2021, 1st deliveries in 2024). In contrast, traditional Honda/Toyota takes 5-7 yrs just to update a dashboard.

@BhavinTolia @Fintech03 Avg person need conveyance not a memoir!!

@Fintech03 We find mechanical machines fascinating. When driving an ICE vehicle, one gets to operate a partially mechanical machine. This lends a sense of occasion & it's a method of expression. One doesn't get to "drive* a smartphone on wheels, its simply operated like a washing machine.

@Mithileshdhar Here it shows 70 per kg max ?? Where are you buying from?

- 1 लीटर रिफाइंड सूरजमुखी तेल की कीमत- लगभग 200 रुपये
- 1 लीटर कोल्ड-प्रेस्ड सूरजमुखी तेल की कीमत- लगभग 580 रुपये - तेल निकालने के लिए सूरजमुखी के बीज की थोक कीमत (बल्क में)- लगभग 170–180 रुपये प्रति किलो - 10 किलो सूरजमुखी के बीज से निकलने वाला कोल्ड-प्रेस्ड तेल- लगभग 3 से 3.5 लीटर तो फिर रिफाइंड तेल इतना सस्ता कैसे बिक रहा है?? ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि कुछ प्रक्रियाएं अपनाई जाती हैं, जिनसे बीज से ज्यादा तेल निकाला जा सके। इनमें फिजिकल और केमिकल दोनों तरीके शामिल होते हैं। ज्यादा तेल निकालने के लिए हेक्सेन (Hexane), जो कि कच्चे पेट्रोलियम से बना एक पदार्थ है, मिलाया जाता है। रिफाइनिंग के दौरान इसका अधिकांश हिस्सा हटा दिया जाता है, लेकिन इसकी थोड़ी मात्रा (ट्रेस) तेल में रह जाती है। रिफाइंड तेल बनाने की प्रक्रिया में अन्य केमिकल्स भी इस्तेमाल होते हैं, जैसे कॉस्टिक सोडा (Caustic Soda), फॉस्फोरिक एसिड (Phosphoric Acid) आदि। कोल्ड-प्रेस्ड तेल में क्या मिलाया जाता है?
कुछ भी नहीं। इसमें सिर्फ बीज और तेल निकालने की मशीन का इस्तेमाल होता है। समझदारी से चुनें। 1st फोटो: लोकल दुकान में कोल्ड-प्रेस्ड तेल का रेट बोर्ड

@Nithin0dha Nobody tells that Foreign investment in equity itself is a geopolitical risk!!

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR: Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead. He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows. If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

@iamrakeshbansal Ease of ownership matters!! EVs are easier to own and maintain!!

Luxury Car Makers Now Watching Petrol Prices? BMW Group India President recently said that higher fuel prices and the push for ethanol blending may speed up the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. My simple question is this: Since when did luxury car companies start checking petrol prices so closely? Luxury cars were always sold as a symbol of success – not something you buy after calculating running cost. From my personal experience, this attitude already exists in luxury showrooms. The moment you ask the sales executive about the car’s average (mileage), their interest drops instantly. By default, they judge you – “Yeh average dekhne wala aadmi luxury car nahi kharidega.” They lose energy and treat you differently. What do you think? #LuxuryCars #EVShift #PetrolPrice #IndiaAuto

@san_x_m Just to put things realistically.. 3 lakh in 1985 is 30 crore in today's money!! Start a bank if your family can lend you 30 crore!!

His name is Uday Kotak. In 1985 he was 26 years old with an MBA and Rs 3 lakh borrowed from family. He applied for a banking licence from RBI. Rejected. He applied again. Rejected again. He kept building a finance company anyway. For 18 years he ran a non-banking finance company. Doing bill discounting. Vehicle loans. Small deals. Every year he applied. Every year RBI said no. In 2003 after 18 years of waiting RBI finally gave him a banking licence. Kotak Mahindra Bank was born. Today it is one of India’s largest private banks worth over Rs 3 lakh crore. He was rejected for 18 consecutive years. He kept building during every single one of those years. The men who build India are not the ones who stop when the door is closed. They are the ones who build the hallway while they wait.

@Atulsingh_asan @UPPCLLKO Lol.. how many people can be unimaginably ignorant!! Just install a 500 rupees analogue sub meter and make a recording!! You'll never think of posting such stupidity ever again

अलग लेवल का फ्रॉड चल रहा है , मेरा मीटर काफ़ी फ़ास्ट चल रहा है , सोलर लगने के बाद भी ज़्यादा बिल आ रहा हैं । 28 मार्च को 1912 पर कंप्लेंट किया और दस दिन बाद कल complaint क्लोज हो गया । बिजली विभाग से कोई मीटर चेक करने भी नहीं आया और complaint क्लोज भी हो गया 🤷🏻‍♂️ @UPPCLLKO @aksharmaBharat @MVVNLHQ @ZoneAmausi @UPGovt @myogiadityanath

@srikanthkoneru @EkanshMittal_KW Commercial EVs will be the biggest category soon!!

@EkanshMittal_KW Do we need biodiesel to replace diesel etc? Wouldn’t electric vehicles(especially with large vehicles)address the issue by freeing all crude import dependent countries?

India's ethanol blending achievement: 20% Missing from the celebration: The diesel problem. The reality: Diesel = 38-41% of India's petroleum consumption Petrol = 16-17% Ethanol blends with petrol. Cannot blend with diesel at scale. Why not? Government to Parliament: "Ethanol with diesel not meeting flash point requirements" Translation: Safety concerns. The implication: India's largest fuel category = Completely untouched by ethanol. Even if petrol reaches 100% ethanol blending (impossible): → Still only impacts 16-17% of oil consumption → 38-41% diesel remains crude-dependent → Plus ATF, LPG, petrochemicals The math: Total oil import bill: USD 150-200 billion/year Ethanol savings (at 20%): USD 3 billion/year That's 2%. Because you're only touching a small slice of total consumption. What about alternatives? Aviation fuel (SAF): - Target: 1% by 2027, 5% by 2030 - Cost: 2.5-3x conventional fuel - Needs heavy subsidies Diesel alternatives: - Biodiesel theoretically possible - But scaling challenges similar - No meaningful progress yet The structural trap: India's two biggest liquid fuel consumers: 1. Diesel (transport, agriculture, industry) 2. Petrochemicals Both = Crude-dependent Both = Hard to replace with biofuels Ethanol in petrol = Good start But addresses small part of problem The result: Crude import dependence: 84% → 90%+ Despite 20% ethanol blending. Despite ₹1.55 lakh Cr "savings." Because the diesel elephant remains in the room. For energy investors: Don't expect ethanol to solve India's oil dependence. Do expect: - Continued crude import growth - Oil marketing companies' import bills expanding - Energy security remaining vulnerable Ethanol = Margin improvement Not structural solution Source: Article by Prashant Mukherjee in Economic Times Research desk → katalystwealth.com

@srikanthkoneru @EkanshMittal_KW Bio diesel is far more expensive to produce and we don't produce enough locally so no point!!

@akshay_ranjith @prakdadlani @kushgrwl The director is routing this via purchase manager!!

@prakdadlani @kushgrwl Did you inform the director?

India could be a great place to do business. But middlemen destroy the whole vibe. A director of a major OEM, called us personally. He’d heard excellent feedback on us from the market and was excited to collaborate. We were pumped. Then the Purchase Manager jumped in. He asked for prices. We told him our price (even shared BOM). He laughs and says he gets it at 30% cheaper. Which is complete bullshit. Cut to a few days later: A third party called and advised us to keep 5% commission for this purchase manager Deal died right there. Our respect fell. Enthusiasm faded. And we decided to let go of this one. Because a 'NO' deal is better than a bad deal.

@imkin @abhishek92aman @kushanmitra Absolutely!! Png is atleast 30% cheaper to lpg

@abhishek92aman @kushanmitra SCM is the unit for PNG. Based on 0.75 SCM per day, which accounts to 22.5 SCM PNG per month which is equal to 1.3(approx) cylinders per month. that makes PNG 1177 Rs compared LPG 1241. If you are using the cylinder for three months then 0.75 per day is not correct for png

So we switched from LPG to PNG just over five years ago. While it isn't quite fair to do a cost comparison between the two for me, since we only did about five months with LPG when Boyzilla was an infant, piped gas is much more convenient and the monthly usage bill (two month cycle) is between 350-500. So at par if not slightly less.

@Technicalchart1 Any news on this? Or simply made up?

In November 2016, the government announced demonetisation overnight. A Delhi company had ₹3.19 crore in cash. Legally earned. Fully documented. Tax returns filed. They went to Axis Bank to deposit it. Bank refused. Called it "suspicious." They went again. Refused. Again. Refused. Sent emails. No response. Went to RBI. No action. Filed a writ in Supreme Court. Still nothing. The deadline passed. ₹3.19 crore in cash became worthless paper overnight. They filed a consumer case in 2018. Fought for 8 years. Last month — court ruled. Axis Bank ordered to pay ₹3.19 crore. Plus 6% interest from December 2016. Plus 9% if they delay payment. The bank called their money suspicious. The court called the bank's behaviour illegal. Save this post. If a bank ever refuses a legitimate transaction — get it in writing. Then fight

@Gogalguy @ChanakyaShah Absolutely!! Nobody will copy babul toothpaste because there is little money in it!!

A fake Sensodyne Toothpaste factory was caught in Delhi. Reading this, I actually feel some respect for small, local products. At least they’re honest. You know it’s cheaper, and that’s why you’re paying less. But this is worse. You go to the market, buy an apple, and when you get home you realize it only looks like an apple… but it’s actually a cheap imitation made to fool you. That’s straight-up cheating, illegal, unsafe, and deserves strict punishment. This isn’t tested or licensed, and people are putting it in their mouths. Brands need to step up. Better packaging, holograms, anything that makes it harder to copy. As a brand founder, it’s sad to see this.
