@Normal_2610 Nice 👍

New Website :) You can Subscribe here and all the work will be updated here, and it is much easier and faster to access I honestly started this out of curiosity, but now it has become something much bigger. Because of that, I am shifting from this platform to my own website. From both my side and your side, Buy me Coffee site has not been working well. There is high loading time, and from sign-up to taking subscription, the process is very hard. Also, going through Stripe adds extra taxes on both your side and mine. Overall, it’s not worth it, and it wastes your time when the site itself doesn’t work smoothly. I have also received a lot of complaints from members about how difficult it is to read articles here. That problem is now solved, the new platform is much easier and smoother for everyone. For those who have taken a yearly subscription - from my side, out of courtesy, you will get 1 year subscription on the new website. I will send you a coupon code via email. For those who have taken a monthly subscription, you will get 1 month subscription there. You can simply sign up and use the promocode. A few articles are already live, and all old articles will be available within the next 2 days. Thank you for your patience, everyone. Now shift to the new website, it is much easier to navigate. Website: normalguy.co.in Yearly subscribers will receive an email from me with their dedicated promocode. Monthly subscribers, read this - buymeacoffee.com/normal_2610/mo…

@al3xis5_ @Androidheadline Either ways copied

@BestDeals90 @Androidheadline No, samsung now bar is copied from huawei

OPPO and OnePlus are bringing the Samsung NowBar over to ColorOS/OxygenOS. Who did it better?

@sourabhjain1996 @Normal_2610 Korean racism exists in Vietnam too

@Normal_2610 @BestDeals90 instead of blaming korea,u should speak how vietnam attracts so much manufacturing with 100 million population vs india 1.5 billion,dont blame south korea for indias failure

South Korea is the Most Cunning Partner India have :) FDI Comparison if we do - Korea total investment in Vietnam is 13-14 times higher than in India. Vietnam economy is only 1/10th India's size. Samsung alone exports $54 billion a year from Vietnam. India has huge market but gets less factories and jobs. Vietnam got the real manufacturing boom. Even Recently Samsung going to build new factory there in Vietnam, in case of china we know the problem but in case of South Korea they do business under Radar, even this is bigger than i Imagine How South Korea Used free trade deal with India is just a Case study - when yu read it in detail yu will get it. Korea got a free trade deal (CEPA) in 2010. Under that deal, Korean goods entered India at zero or low duties. Samsung, Hyundai, LG used this to sell massively into India - phones, cars, appliances. India's imports from Korea went from $10B to $21B. India's exports to Korea actually fell - from $8B (FY22) to $5.8B (FY25). The trade deficit tripled from $5B to $15.2B. But selling wasn't the only play. The real play was value extraction: Hyundai - Paid itself a ₹10,782 crore special dividend (7.2x its normal payout), then did India largest IPO - 100% offer-for-sale. Every rupee of the $3.3B IPO went to the Korean parent. Then raised royalty rates from 2.5% to 3.5% per car. Three moves, one after another, all designed to drain cash from the Indian subsidiary to Seoul. LG - Same template. 100% offer-for-sale IPO, $1.4B to the Korean parent. The Indian subsidiary now trades at $12.5B market cap - higher than the Korean parent itself. LG used Indian investors money to value an Indian business that it still controls and still pulls dividends from. Samsung - Royalties paid to Korea jumped 50% to ₹3,322 crore in one year. After Korea changed its tax law in 2023 (no tax on foreign dividends coming home), Samsung pulled ₹22B worth of dividends from all overseas units in 9 months. India was one of the biggest sources. Combined - Hyundai + LG alone pulled $4.7B out of India in 12 months. All legal under CEPA. Best way to fuck RBI stricter Foreign Outflow What Korea did in Vietnam (same period) Korea put $92B of FDI into Vietnam. India got $6.7B. India economy is 10x Vietnam size. Samsung alone runs 6 plants in Vietnam, employs 100,000 people, exports $54B/year from there - that's 13% of Vietnam's entire exports. Vietnam got factories + jobs + exports. India got imports + deficit + cash extraction. Why Delhi stayed quiet for 15 years Diplomatic politeness. Also, during 2010–2020, India negotiating leverage was weaker. India needed Korean investment, Korean tech, Korean defence platforms. So the imbalance was a known problem that time but that time of dealmaker didn't think of long term MEA Secretary Kumaran publicly named the $15.2B deficit before President Lee landed. Commerce Minister Goyal called the 2010 CEPA irrational and lopsided. This was intentional signaling. What India wants in CEPA 2.0 - Four things: Services access - Indian IT exports to Korea are only $200M (vs $200B globally). India wants visa quotas for Indian engineers in Korean semiconductor/AI projects, and recognition of Indian professional qualifications. Pharma access - Indian generic drug exports to Korea are just $167M. Korea has rules that kill generic price advantage. India wants those removed. Forced local content - Like what Vietnam and Indonesia did. India wants 50% local value-addition by year 5, 70% by year 10. If you want to sell in India, build in India. Reciprocal sourcing - For every $1B defence/steel/shipbuilding contract India gives Korea, Korea must buy equivalent value of Indian services, pharma, components.

@BaluGorade Busy podcasting

Zerodha announced US stock access via the GIFT City route. It's been 6+ months. Still waiting. So… what's really going on here? 🤔

@shivaprasa31563 @swarajk_ Well said

@swarajk_ racist bastards India should boycott samsung

yikes lack of korean/samsung investment was always weird, especially after the PLIs. their reluctance seems structural or cultural idk

@SamMobiles Ok, give them iPhone then

Give the people what they want! sammobile.com/news/one-iphon…

@typesfast Say cheese

While the world was distracted by AI, India just became the world leader in cheese.

@AdityaSatsangi Pls expand on this critical issue to bring more awareness to all

South Korean Catholicism evangelism is increasing in India. That's a security risk.

India's trade deficit with South Korea has tripled since the CEPA agreement took effect in 2010. Before President Lee landed in Delhi, the MEA publicly named the imbalance for the first time. That's a remarkable shift. Here's what India is now trying to fix. 🧵

@Kyunghoon_Kim_ SRIB is run by racists Koreans and supported by spineless opportunistic Indian VPs. Most patents quality is questionable. Check commercial beneficial patents for Indian benefit - Zero!

P.P.P.P.S. (OK, really really last.) R&D investment? Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore (SRI-B) is the Samsung's largest R&D Center outside of Korea. With over 11,000 global patents, SRI-B firmly establishes itself as India’s No. 1 patent filer in the private sector.

Trust me, I’ve been criticized in Korea for trying to understand and convey India’s perspectives on trade and the CEPA upgrade. But this line of argument leads nowhere. We need a more objective, clear-eyed assessment. Let me try: (1/n)

@itiha29 Well said

Americanization of Indian Healthcare. And no, it's not a good thing for our country.

@dalevon_digital Always

I have mixed feelings about the Samsung phones in general.

@PunditAsia @TVMohandasPai @Kyunghoon_Kim_ That's how Indians screw Indians when one stands up

@TVMohandasPai @Kyunghoon_Kim_ You don’t need to respond to him. He’s just a right-wing fascist troll. This is his pastime. He was HR Head with Infosys now stale mind …

Suzuki has localized for many years but Hyundai has not to the same extent. Why give this excuse? It is deliberate strategy by Hyundai

@TVMohandasPai Agree that Korean companies are very narrow selfish and unlike Japanese partnerships in India. It shows in culture in these korean companies and the attitude of expats. Unfortunately supported by a few "useful idiot" Indians who are only promoted to top positions

@Kyunghoon_Kim_ Not fully true. Let's talk CSR, that you mention. Samsung uses 90% of its budget for 'Samsung Solve for Tomorrow'. Sure Indians benefit but very marginally, but It is just Samsung band building using CSR money. Rest 10% they use for school painting

- It also overlooks Korean firms’ broader contributions: job creation, tax revenues, consumer welfare, and CSR, along with growing (albeit early-stage) exports to third markets (partly thanks to India's new FTAs). (4/n)

@dhanyarajendran Fake useless thread

Edappadi Palanisamy in an interview to Julie of ToI. Every BJP ally defends everything- from CAA to delimitation.

@Normal_2610 @cvkrishnan Almost All Korean companies have only Koreans as heads and treat Indian workers as second class citizens

Samsung, Hyundai, LG together take out massive profits from Indian consumers every year. When Lee Jae Myung lands in Delhi today for the first state visit in 8 years, the pitch is $50bn bilateral trade by 2030. But if the gap stays 3:1 in Korea favour, that just means India sends even more money out. Trade targets mean nothing without fixing the ratio. India imports $19.2bn from Korea and exports just $6.4bn back. That is a $12.8bn trade gap running for decades now. The K9 Vajra deal is $850m for 100 more units, and Hanwha still gets roughly half that money for supplying kits to L&T. Indigenisation went from 50% to 60%, which sounds nice, but the engine, fire control core, and gun system still come from Korea. India is now talking about a third batch of 200 more units plus air defence systems from Hanwha. Every new order deepens the dependency on Korean sub-systems instead of building that capability at home through DRDO or Bharat Forge. Korea runs the same pattern with every partner. Sell finished goods, take the surplus, invest just enough locally to keep the orders coming. Samsung alone treats India as its second biggest phone market after the US. Hyundai lists its India unit separately to raise capital from Indian investors. The money flows one way. If India is buying defence platforms worth thousands of crores, the bare minimum ask should be Korean procurement of Indian IT services, pharma, and auto components at real volume. Not MoU photo ops. Korea just playing nice boy Game from LG IPO to Hyundai >>>
