@303extreme Yes the placement rate will fall but the average salary should go up. The star performers are going to be valued a lot more than the average. At my engineering business we have stopped hiring freshers except for construction site roles. AI tools and agents can get work done!

Next year average salary will drop to 15lpa, and placement will drop further more. A tsunami is coming, if you dont have 50lakh+ savings or a govt job, then go into survival mode right now.

True

No one gets a college degree to become a delivery rider or MBA Chai-wala or B-Tech Dhokla wala. They do this work because there are no other opportunities left. When delivery riders start making equal money as PhD holders, it shows that degrees are pointless. And, we as a society have stopped valuing education. This creates a system= people devalue education = less focus on research= low competitiveness = you get Instagram consumption economy. Only way to earn becomes: "blue collar jobs" or "get ready with me" influencers. Celebrate this? seriously.

@hellonehha I was in Germany last week and really it is so much easier to buy a house here and with a lot of peace and a better property too. India RE is just crazy with most of the properties owned by a few.

In Bangalore, with 2 people's salary we had hard time to buy a flat (later we cancelled it) 2 years after moving to UK bought an independent 3 bed house, with all kitchen appliances - gas, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, carpet , lighting, etc. with backyard , good views, and parking. no one asked for black money. bought it on 1 person's salary. got 1st buyer discount. 100% transparency.

I'll admit this might sound odd coming from me, maybe even clichéd. But it's something I've been sitting with for a while, so here goes. When I started out, like most people, I had a simple wealth goal. I'd actually written it down: hit ₹5 crore, retire in Goa, beach shack, done. That was the dream. After the Zerodha journey, I find myself on a very different side of that equation, and the dark inequalities of wealth and opportunity are harder to ignore than ever. We all know the numbers on inequality. The concentration of wealth among the top 1% is severe and getting worse, and it's even starker among the top 0.1%. The post-2008 era of rising asset prices has likely made this worse, because the people who hold financial assets are, by definition, people who already have money. This isn't unique to India. Barring a few exceptions, it's a global phenomenon. I'm cautious about attributing every socio-political problem we face today to inequality, but it's hard to deny the role it's played in the political upheavals we're seeing across the world. History rarely shows that sustained, extreme inequality ends well. To me, it increasingly feels like sitting in a car with the brakes cut, watching a cliff approach. Btw, all of this even before AI, which has a non-trivial probability of making things worse. I'll stop short of prescribing solutions. It's too easy to reach for simple answers to complicated problems, and that's a separate conversation entirely. But I think we need to collectively acknowledge this: wealth that just sits in financial assets whose value keeps compounding upward doesn't do much good for anyone beyond those who already have it. And if that wealth isn't in motion, if it isn't doing some social good, the fabric that holds us together will only continue to fray and lead to cynicism, resentment, and worse yet, nihilism. We're already seeing all of it. What I am saying is that even if a portion of that wealth were channelled into things that could materially improve lives, that seems worth doing. Hoarding wealth, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really help anyone.

@HDFCBank_Cares No I have not approached anyone. I just wanted to vent my frustration dealing with large Indian companies that are full of incompetent people. Thank you

@nitinv8 Hi Nitin, we'll certainly look into this for you. If you have approached any of our communication channels then please DM us the complaint/reference number you may have received for us to look into the matter. -Anay, Service Manager twitter.com/messages/compo…

@HDFC_Bank please hire a better content writer and software developers. Your emails are cryptic with limited information and generally have terrible User Experience. For India's leading bank, such simple improvements should be easily achievable.

Sit down Rajdeep. You supported the farmer blockade that went on for over a year & caused traffic havoc. Also the shaheen bagh protests that screwed Delhi traffic for 4-5 months? As I recollect you were benched for falsely claiming some tractor terrorist was shot yes?

The global split we are seeing at OpenClaw is wild: In America, installing OpenClaw on your work computer gets you fired. In China, not installing OpenClaw gets you fired. Two completely different theories of the next decade.

@Acer_India I am sorry I do not understand what else you want to know. I have already shared photos and sufficient details about the product and the issues. I have shared my Phone number and email on DM.

@nitinv8 Hi Nitin ! Greetings from Acer. Regret for the inconvenience caused. We’d like to understand what went wrong and help you resolve it. Kindly share your concern along with the machine serial number via DM so that we can assist you accordingly.

Never buy an Acer laptop. They use highly substandard materials especially plastics even in their premium series. The back cover of my Swift 5 is totally warped @Acer @Acer_India

@Acer_India Apparently this is a major issue that has also been reported by other users. community.acer.com/en/discussion/…

@nitinv8 to further assist you. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Acer_India My laptop is working fine except the back plastic panel. My question is where can I buy a replacement back panel so that I can continue using the machine for another couple of years.

@nitinv8 Dear Nitin ! We truly value your feedback and understand your disappointment regarding the quality; this isn't the experience we intended for you. We take your concerns seriously and are here to ensure this is resolved. Please let us know if there is anything specific we can do

@Acer_India I messaged on Direct message only to get a standard response. My intention is to warn other users of the quality of material used by @Acer @Acer_India and not really anything else.

@nitinv8 Hi Nitin! Greetings from Acer. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We would like to understand what went wrong and help you with it. Please share your concerns with us via DM so we can assist you further. twitter.com/messages/compo…

Police issued a ₹10,000 pollution fine… on an ELECTRIC VEHICLE ⚡😂 ❌No engine. ❌ No emissions. Still “polluting” according to them. Even after explaining it’s an EV, they refused to listen instead started adding MORE fines (tinted glass, etc.) just to justify it. So the real question is: Are laws being enforced… or just used to extract money? 🤔 Educated system or automated extortion? 🚨Repost for better reach

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR: Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead. He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows. If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

Well, fuck Anthropic. I've bought a 3 month Claude Max sub to a friend as a gift. Sent it to them. 10 days later, their gift is GONE from their account. No trace whatsoever. I go to Anthropic to request a refund: - I can't it's not my gift. - They can't, it doesn't exist. Oh, and you have NO WAY to contact a person who understands the problem, you can only talk to a fucking AI whose job is to get rid of you. It just closes the convo with "End." after you explain what's wrong.

@js81234 Excellent! Very rushed but extremely powerful and humbling. Govinda Govinda 🙏

@nitinv8 How is Darshan experience

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) the new system for booking VIP darshan online is totally full of bugs and it is not working. It is apparently made for travel agents and insiders who know how to book and not for normal people who are trying to get Darshan

@raghav_chadha This is dirty politics. You represent the youth and future of India. More power to you.

To my colleagues in AAP who were forced to issue videos saying that “Raghav Chadha failed to raise Punjab’s issues in Parliament”, here is a small trailer…Picture Abhi Baaki Hai. Punjab isn’t a talking point for me. It is my home, my duty, my soil, my soul❤️

@js81234 Thank you. Managed to get a new booking via Srivani Trust Donation route. It was much harder than it should have been. But clearly it was God's will that we were called today. Govinda Govinda!

@nitinv8 No one will help you. Only option is book for any date in July month which would release on 23rd April
