@prajnay_darkins Congratulations sir

Machines have arrived. 2000 kgs of steel, hardened iron and copper. Crane has arrived. Lifting our capacity 5x. Pun intended.

Power of gathering people to change a pricing rule. Story time: Back in 2016, the Karnataka transport ministry capped cab aggregator pricing at ₹19.5/km even during peak hours or rain. Sounds consumer-friendly, but it meant drivers earned less exactly when demand was highest. We believed the rule needed change. So we mobilised. - Set up an IVR to reach drivers at scale - Collected physically signed letters from top drivers - Submitted those letters during the amendment hearing - Asked drivers to show up for the hearing in person - Ran 3 UberSamaaj sessions a day, 25 drivers each, educating them on why this mattered The result? The cap was revised from ₹19.5/km to ₹24/km (if memory serves right). Sometimes policy changes don’t start in boardrooms. They start by organising people around a shared incentive.

@Dhichkyaaon Stairs physio and peak performance

Please suggest a good physiotherapy/rehab centre in Haralur/Kudlu. HSR also works if they’ll not ask for kidneys. Need longterm help for multiple issues

Is there a ready resource or list of lawyers who help in cases of crimes against women or organisations that help guide women with the legal process? Would be great if we could reply with name and city in this thread.

@Ajain112 Yaar, how's this comparable? How can we compare a low aov sachet product to a higher aov smartphone? Also, the penetration of the iPhone increased due to low cost emi options?

can someone who actually tracks this let me know what happened?

Favorite part from the book , how to know a person by David Brooks:

@heydambis Sending you rental company contact

The beauty of boring businesses. While building a coffee brand, I’ve realized something interesting: The founders making the healthiest cash flows are often running “boring” businesses: trading, packaging, manufacturing, construction materials, etc. No fancy branding. No Meta ads. No influencer marketing. Just: - strong referrals, - repeat clients, - and solid products. Most of these businesses were built by the previous generation, and many are now shutting down because younger folks don’t want to run them anymore. Ironically, these “unsexy” businesses often have: - better margins, - healthier liquidity, - and less runway stress than many modern D2C brands. The only real pain point: Credit cycles destroying working capital. That’s why many are moving to cash-and-carry models now. Sometimes the most boring businesses are the most beautiful ones.

@keerthisiddeshw @tempofuel Good enough, just make sure you invite them for your next set of sample tasting sessions

For now, we have done following things to collect: - Text/Call them to hear their feedback to assess the taste, texture and energy consistency throughout the run - set up a exclusive page to hear feedback and put the same on the packaging as well tempofuel.in/feedback What do you suggest? anything that we are missing?

Distributed nearly 400+ sachets of @tempofuel’s Endurance Fuel Mix to 100+ endurance athletes in Bangalore. Loved the feedback and response received so far. I'll now do the same in Chennai and can't wait to hear the feedback here. Shoot me a Hi if you're in Chennai and want to try Tempo Fuel @jayshreeanand

@ku1deep Bhaape da dhaba, eat kulfi at kuremal kulfi and pan at pandeys.

Chat!!!! Drop me your best Connaught Place recommendations.

@xerefic Agree 💯

I have two cents about NCR being better than Bangalore (except for weather and pollution)

@PrateetJain Post knee injury, strength training core + legs

@lightroastguy Solid split. Curious about the physio days, are you working around an injury or just using it as structured recovery?

Good morning, drinking this beautiful Kenyan washed as an iced pour over. Have a great Sunday!

The adult-money urge to get a vinyl player and an espresso machine just to avoid cafe disappointments in Bangalore.

Zero luck🥲

@nocashirl The Swiss cheese burger

i’ve never been able to have the actual basic smash burger at beyondburg because they always have something special i end up being coaxed into getting

Pay it forward, founders. Connect people. Share vendor contacts. Share the agency you’re working with. Share your packaging supplier. Share your due diligence POC number. The strongest founder communities are built when people genuinely help each other grow.
