I repeat. We are being gaslighted in multiple ways.
Good read.

Allow me to make an observation. Next time, someone tells you Indian don’t value time, ask them if they understand about the concept of monochronic and polychronic cultures. There are cultures that measure an outcome on more axes than the time and effort invested. India is one of them. It is important that you understand this about India lest you develop an inescapable inferiority complex about your own people indexing on someone slinging their half cooked rhetoric built up their lack of serious education.

Do we misunderstand pollution? Can anyone tell me who the whole country can be red?
English
@twinitisha Been dealing with the same question. My understanding so far, it has always been the fog with particulate It has become well known ever since AQI measurement started in around 2014.
Importantly, particulate % has been steeply increasing in the last few decades/years.
English
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve grown up in the north (UP,Delhi mostly) and we always had dense fog in the mornings and evenings in winters.
Then we called it smog.
Why are people panicking and calling it air pollution? This kind of dense fog with almost zero visibility was always seen in northern belt of India.

This is extremely horrifying and disturbing. There is literally 0 Visibility due to pollution in India’s National Capital. This is a healthy and Public emergency But PM is on tour CM is busy meeting footballers IT cell is justifying pollution

@nixxin This seems like a disaster for businesses. SMS was killed so would be WhatsApp business usage?
English
After this:
1. Can't use whatsapp/telegram on tablets without SIM
2. Can't use whatsapp/telegram on companion device
3. Will get logged out of desktop apps after every six hours. Irritating.
4. Can't use whatsapp/telegram on international SIM when traveling abroad
5. Businesses can't use WhatsApp for business which has automation and API based access
6. Someone moving out of India wanting to keep whatsapp contacts and messages can't change number because account is locked to SIM
This is largely based on my reading and responses I've received. Will think of more.

SIM binding for WhatsApp, telegram, and other messaging and social media apps mandated by India's Department of Telecommunications.
Can't use your account if the SIM you registered with isn't in the device.

@nixxin @aseemmanchanda How does it affect WhatsApp Business API based platforms? If linked devices are affected, would it be business API?

@dharmeshba Status > Money > Time.
Most people negotiate only because it's more to do with Status than money even when losing time.
English
Indian consumers don’t think in “features.”
They think in:
Will this save me money?
Will this save me time?
Will this save me embarrassment?
Everything else is secondary.

@prajnay_darkins Voice is human. It carries emotions & more micro context.
English
Why send voice notes when voice-to-text is simpler?
They're tedious to listen to, lack searchability, and our brains process text faster than audio
English
@dharmeshba Because everyone is advising against it, it would have a gap as an opportunity.
India has mostly been DIFM, Ai would spoon feed bridging the gap.
India is value sensitive and Ai can/should be used to drive the outcome.
English
Most VCs and founders advise against building AI for India.
What contrarian insights do you have that argue for building in this market?
English
@rajeshsawhney I like to describe new interfaces as ask and visualise without needing buttons, menus etc.
There would be visual interfaces with conversational assistants alongside which take conversational input, voice or text and visualization to show results.

@iuditg I believe all the LLMs are getting equally smarter leading to commoditision. Google should win with distribution.
English
@vaibhavbetter Initially smarter when it would push people to ask better questions and understand and explore more.
Eventually dumber when it would start taking control and do everything end to end.
English
AI will make smart people smarter — but will it also make dumb people dumber?

@Dixit__Nikhil @dharmeshba Owners do not want to buy luxury for businesses but something which is functional and good.

@1ndus Most other days keep us so low that even small dopamine really gives Nirvana.

some startup days hit you with dopamine shots so strong…that it feels like a 30-sec peek at nirvana
