@riyaelity Zom/Swgy shud first reduce their cut of the restaurants sales & let restaurants list items on their platform at their original rate. And Zom and Swiggy shud charge delivery (distance based) + platform usage charges only from customer.

Saw a couple of tweets explaining ways to scam Zomato. People are ordering one low-value item, then calling the restaurant directly to place a bigger order and getting it delivered using Zomato riders. The worst part is people are calling this genius and proudly boasting about it. We have normalized exploiting loopholes and playing with systems for personal gain. But from a business point of view, how does any company survive when a large section of the population is constantly trying to cheat? Deepinder Goyal once mentioned in a podcast how some people even use AI to create fake cockroach or insect images in food just to claim refunds. A bad citizen creates a bad nation. No need to scam. Maybe you save 20% today, but if something goes wrong tomorrow, you won’t just lose money, you could end up in legal trouble too.

In Thane, I saw a restaurant taking direct orders on the phone and then sending the same via Rapido, with customer bearing 1/2 of the delivery charges. The customer is happy since he is able to order w/o inflated price of Zom/Swgy and also saves on platform charges etc.

@IndiaInfra02 Ok cool. And opening of that will ideally eliminate the Trucks taking the Thane city-GB road route right?

@KotakBankLtd kindly advise when and where did I speak to your representatives about a personal loan? Never expected this kind of spamming from an esteemed bank like you! @RBI @udaykotak

@law_ninja All the phone backups incl WA use Google account that's logged in on that phone. So unless your employees have office provided phones with office owned Google accounts, you cannot download those backups once that employee leaves. Am hoping that the article above assumes that.

Last month a business owner in Surat lost his best salesperson. The guy did everything right. Clean handover. Excel sheet with 200 buyer names, quantities, pending dues, phone numbers. All organized. The owner looked at the spreadsheet and felt sick. Because the Excel had data. But the relationship was gone. Which buyer likes to be called on Sunday morning because that is when he plans his week? Which one gets offended if you send a junior instead of coming yourself? Which one's business is struggling and needs 60 days credit this quarter but will be back to 30 days by Diwali? Which one was about to place a large order because his daughter's wedding is in December and he needs extra inventory? That context. Built over 4 years of chai meetings, lunches, factory visits, late night phone calls, shared victories when a big order came through and shared stress when a shipment was delayed. None of that fits in an Excel column. The new salesperson got the spreadsheet. Called the buyers. Got polite responses. Lost 6 accounts in the first quarter. Not because the product changed. Because the relationship walked out the door. The owner told me "I had the data. I lost the intelligence." Every business owner reading this knows this fear. Your best sales person, your best operations guy, your best procurement manager. They are carrying your most valuable asset in their head and on their phone. Nothing is stopping them from taking it to your competitor next month. This is not a loyalty problem. Good people leave for good reasons. But when they leave, they take something no notice period can recover. The context of every relationship they built on your behalf. And here is the thing. All of that context is actually being recorded. Right now. Automatically. You just do not know it. Every Indian business runs on WhatsApp and phone calls. The sales guy negotiates pricing on WhatsApp. Confirms delivery dates on WhatsApp. Handles complaints on WhatsApp. And makes 30 phone calls a day where promises are made, preferences are expressed, and deals are shaped. The entire nervous system of the business runs through a chat app and a phone. Both of which the employee owns. Not you. But WhatsApp backs up every chat to Google Drive. Automatically. Every night. That backup is sitting in your Google Drive right now. Months or years of every conversation. Every client interaction. Every negotiation. Every complaint. Unencrypted. You have never looked at it. And phone calls? Most Android phones can record every call automatically. TrueCaller, ACR, Cube. These apps could be saving recordings to a folder on the phone that nobody ever listens to. Thousands of hours of conversations. Piling up. Unheard. Now think about what happens when AI reads and listens to all of it. Take the WhatsApp backup from Google Drive. Take the phone call recordings. Run the calls through a transcription service. Now you have text from every conversation your business has had, chat and voice, for the last 1 to 3 years. Point Claude Code at all of it. "Read everything. Build me a client intelligence database. Every client. What they buy. Last price quoted. Last order date. Pending commitments. Unresolved complaints. Promises made on calls. How each client prefers to be dealt with. What patterns exist in their ordering." What comes back is not a spreadsheet. It is a business brain. The context that the owner in Surat lost. Reconstructed from actual conversations. Now when your next salesperson leaves, the intelligence stays. The conversations were backed up. The calls were recorded. The AI read them. The context belongs to the company, not the person. But it is not just about protecting against departures. It is about seeing things nobody in the company can see right now. Your top salesperson promised 4 clients delivery by the 15th. Operations can handle 2. Nobody knew about the conflict until all 4 called on the 16th. AI flags it from the call transcripts before the 15th arrives. A client called 6 times in one month with the same packaging complaint. Each call handled by a different person. Nobody saw the pattern. AI reads all 6 transcripts: "This client has raised the same issue 6 times. Unresolved. Risk of losing the account." Your supplier quoted 3 different prices to 3 different people in your company over 6 months. Nobody compared notes. AI reads every procurement chat and call and shows you the real price range. CRM software was supposed to solve this. It never did. Because CRM requires someone to enter data after the conversation already happened. That is double work. Nobody does double work. The CRM stays empty. WhatsApp stays full. The founder pays Rs 50,000 a year for software nobody uses. AI does not ask anyone to enter data. The data is already there. In Google Drive backups. In call recordings. Already captured. Just never read. A 50-person company has 3 to 5 years of WhatsApp backups and thousands of hours of call recordings. This contains more business intelligence than their CRM, ERP, and Tally combined. Nobody has read it. Nobody has listened to it. AI does both in an afternoon. The first businesses that figure this out will not just have better data. They will be the first Indian businesses that actually own their client relationships instead of renting them from their employees' phones. Your most valuable business asset is not in your Tally. Not in your ERP. Not in that empty CRM. It is in your Google Drive backup and your call recordings. Unread. Unlistened. Waiting. Build your business brain from it before your best salesperson builds their next career from it. Who says AI is only taking away jobs? You could be consulting real businesses and help them figure this out. They will pay for this.

@anishmoonka fun fact: every phone asks for a PIN to be setup before allowing biometrics setup - that PIN can be used to unlock the phone when biometrics doesn't work. A stranger can very well bypass biometrics and crack the PIN unless the phone strictly disallows that!

An algorithm cracked 87.5% of “complex” Android pattern locks on the first try, using phone camera footage from 8 feet away. That cool-looking swipe pattern is the weakest option on this list. A 3x3 grid technically has 389,112 combinations, but the average person connects just 5 dots (about 7,000 combos) and most use only 4 (1,624 combos, fewer than a 4-digit PIN). 44% of patterns start in the top-left corner, 77% start in a corner, and about 10% of people just draw the first letter of their name. The biometrics tell a different story. Touch ID’s false acceptance rate (odds a stranger’s finger unlocks your phone) is 1 in 50,000. Face ID jumped to 1 in 1,000,000 using 30,000 infrared dots to 3D-map your face, though twins and kids under 13 can sometimes fool it. Optic ID matches that 1 in 1,000,000 rate, but the biometric underneath is far richer: your iris has over 200 measurable features versus 40 to 60 for a fingerprint, patterns form randomly in the womb, and even identical twins have completely different irises. PINs look decent on paper (10,000 combinations for 4 digits) but collapse in practice. In a 3.4 million sample, 10.7% of people chose 1234. Try just 61 combinations and you’d crack a third of all PINs. A study found 6-digit PINs provide “little to no increase in security” over 4-digit ones, because people just pick 123456 or a birth year. Random stranger picks up your phone? Face ID and Optic ID are 20x more secure than Touch ID and orders of magnitude ahead of most people’s PINs or patterns.

@CalvinSeip @pickover Oh ok. I thought the OP is implying the full number to be prime!

@DilipUd @pickover He said it's the last 21 digits of 99^99 which has many more than just 21 digits. Also a fun fact there are 9 other numbers that aren't 9 haha 🤣

Mathematics. 9s on parade. This image below shows the final 21 digits of 99^99. The number below is a prime number (and also has 12 copies of the digit 9).

Some ppl might be offended but the bitter truth is you can build houses for them, fill their plates with free ration, give them jobs, clothes, and blankets yet many will sell what you give, drink away what you offer or waste it in gabbling, and still call themselves poor. The problem isn’t resources; it’s the refusal to rise. Month after month, the government distributes ration, but when diyas are lit, they still rush to steal oil from them. Not out of need, out of habit. Out of the comfort of dependency that generations have learned to wear like pride. You can’t fix this problem. Until they decide to stand up for themselves, no government, no policy, and no god can lift them. Poverty of money can be cured but poverty of mindset cannot.

Same can be done for other big trxns such as real estate and vehicle purchases. @PMOIndia @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @IncomeTaxIndia

TCS is another example of how our GoI punishes honest to weed out the dishonest! TCS on FX can be easily done away with if Banks/Dealers are linked to ITR systems to see if the PAN used is genuine tax payer or not @PMOIndia @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharaman 6/

For every return that got processed by ITR CPC in Sept within few hours of filing along with credit of refund if any, there are countless more filed in July still awaiting their attention - including mine among them; @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @IncomeTaxIndia 1/

@RahulChels @Sahilinfra2 Have they completed the wiring? It was only poles right until this Sunday.

@Sahilinfra2 Hmm maybe just pushed by a few days. No worries.
