@Harshith740 Pain is a good teacher.

Dear Mr. Sayan Ganguly at @IndiaToday You’ve published a factually incorrect and poorly verified story, and falsely attributed statements to me and @meangeekchick. You wrote: “However, he claimed the officers sent to assist were the same personnel who had earlier issued the threat.” This is completely false. I have never said this. Let me spell it out clearly: * The first set of officers arrived at 2:30 AM (we have photos/videos). * The PCR van personnel refused to come upstairs and asked us to come down. * A third, entirely different team came at 9:30 PM on 27 April. At no point have we claimed these were the same officers. Stop putting words in our mouth. Secondly, this entire story is stitched together from tweets — ours and @dcp_southwest — with zero verification from your side. No outreach. No fact-check. No attempt to understand the issue. The real questions you ignored: [a] Police behaviour and alleged intimidation [b] What exact rule mandates a 10 PM shutdown for cloud kitchens? Show it. [c] If the concern is theft/crowd, is policing not the police’s responsibility? [d] We have formally asked for clarity on 24x7 permissions — where is that in your story? You also suggest we should file a complaint. We already did — multiple times: * Calls * Physical visit * Email * Hand-delivered letter (Refused to Accept) Complaint via Hon. @LtGovDelhi Listening Post All documented. All ignored in your report. We’ve even shared CCTV footage publicly showing the full sequence of events. So tell us — are we the culprits here, or is this just another half-baked story built off tweets without basic journalistic diligence? Did it not occur to you that reaching out for a statement might be the bare minimum before publishing? Link to Youtube: t.co/ulUrHla73r Photo of The Letter Sent Attached May I also point you to some resources, including some from your website 1. restaurantindia.in/article/delhi-… 2. indiatoday.in/cities/delhi/s… 3. industries.delhi.gov.in/sites/default/… 4. indiatoday.in/lifestyle/food… 5. indiatoday.in/information/st… The Fact of the Matter is * Policy intent (2023) → explicit permission for 24-hour functioning * Ground reality (2026) → actual 24/7 kitchens operating and facing regulatory issues Please do some research before making up stories about what we said.

I wouldnt disagree with your opinion completely but here is how I look at it @svembu I have been an NRI for 3 years now. I am not sure how long will I continue to be one but I am emotionally connected to whats happening in Bengaluru/Karnataka/India than anything else. Life is a package and there are good and bad things in every part of the world. Are Indians treated as 2nd grade citizen and are there issues of racism abroad - Undoubtedly, there are challenges. While not everybody you come across is a racist, it would be unfair to say there are no issues at all. Would it hurt us - Certainly, why wouldnt it. Are there positive things - Ofcourse and thats why people have been migrating and thats why people try to digest the issues like racism. Can we attract NRIs back to India - Why not. Some may lose jobs/Visas and come back forcefully, some come back to support their aging parents an some come back to genuinely build something in India. Last but not the least - NRIs can talk about the clean air, clean water, Clean roads and other Infrastructure benefits the first world gives. We must improve all this in India not to lure NRIs back to India. Honestly, these are the guys who left India for something better. But Indian Infrastructure and Cities needs to be fixed for the sake of Indians who decided to stay back, who decided to work hard, build something in their own country despite having challenges around Corruption and lack of Governance. Bottomline: The Indians who stayed back in India for whatever reason deserve to get a better life and for their sake, India needs to get fixed.

Most are misunderstanding the message from @svembu. This isn't about "hey India is now like Singapore, come back"; this is about hardship and coming back on a mission to have an impact. I came back after 15+ years and wrote about it here (share.google/01MTe6cUKz6T3n…). This isn't for 99% of people out there - they should stay back, build their careers, etc. Everyone has that right. This is about a very specific type of individual who wants to go through the difficult nation building phase but didn't have the opportunity ten years ago. We didn't have any s-tier AI research, or climate, or space or robotics work happening here. Today we do, there are career options for those wanting to do real cutting edge work in private sector and academia. There is capital. Government support. There is definitely glory at the end of the suffering. But it was never going to be easy. It's easy to quote things like 'ask not what your country can do for you' etc, but there's a reason that that generation in the US gets so much respect. It's a very specific type of an individual who'll return this call, quietly, without Twitter ragebait on all that's wrong in India. I've met a bunch, there are more coming. You know who you are, DMs always open. Just don't expect flowers.
