RT if you would pay extra for eco-friendly packaging when you use @Swiggy_in & @ZomatoIN? We need them to realise how much the plastic waste steals the pleasure of having food delivered – and that we're waiting for a chance to pay for sustainable packaging. #NoPlastic @fayedsouza

@fayedsouza @deespeak Nice one Faye. Been thinking that @swiggy_in & @ZomatoIN are both snoozing on a huge opportunity to win customers by offering zero-plastic options. Boost vendors with sustainable packaging, or offer it as a premium option. Everyone I know would love it. Everyone wins. @harshamjty

Anytime a debate kicks off about public transport in Indian cities, I think of a scene I saw on a late summer evening in 2006 (when I still used buses). I think it was route 422, going past Nizamuddin down to Badarpur Border. (1/n)

So much 💓 and pride for my friends @TillotamaShome and #vivekgomber when will we get to see #Sir in India?!

In the middle of election madness, with news, "news", opinion, analysis and just plain shouting, let's stop and think about all the things that make up our identities in India, and how they affect the stories we tell: bit.ly/2ZdnXYA #HeyMediaIntersections

We're all talking about PM Modi's popularity as if it's based on a psychic link with the public. Newsflash: it's based on a publicity / propaganda campaign more expensive than you'll believe. I lift the lid on the insane numbers: youtu.be/CwmcHHhdHks
