Thinking to create a badminton only group If you want to get added drop a message 👇

@MSEDCL when will this load shedding stop in Pune, we are in the twenty first century and we still have this going on

@volklub @TorqueIndia No resale value is also an issue, I think the big upfront cost will be compensated in a couple of years but no resale value isn’t something the consumer can accept

@TorqueIndia 433 comment responses are interesting where customers feel (as per Grok’s summary) Majority responses cite poor highway charging networks, range anxiety, lengthy recharge times, and high upfront costs as reasons to stick with ICE vehicles for flexibility and peace of mind. 😞

People losing trust on Ice future ? Only 50% said no to EVs 👀

@kmr_dilip You should also consider supporting grassroots badminton there is a lot of talent but not enough investment

Rainmatter has invested in a number of companies building sports and fitness events in India - Hyrox, Ironman (Yoska), Devil Circuit, Yodha Race (Spectacom), Navy Half Marathon, Bajaj Pune Marathon ( Fitpage) and a few more. Collectively, we’ve invested 100Cr+ in this category because we want more Indians to move, play and stay active. Btw, this is not just a thesis but also of our culture at Zerodha and Rainmatter. So sharing a few thoughts from our lens as investors and also active enthusiast and supporters of the ecosystem. Twenty years ago, cricket in India was largely limited to Tests and ODIs. Then we got T20 and IPL. And since then cricket evolved at the intersection of performance and entertainment. It has expanded the audience, brought in more capital, and created a platform for talent discovery. It’s a cultural product than just sports today with memes, video content & podcasts all playing a role in making it what it is today. There were many involved to make this happen and they did a stellar work. The noise around Hyrox this week i feel is a signal that means fitness is starting to behave like cricket did in 2008. People are forming opinions and that's how a culture gets built. If fitness and other sports have to become mainstream in India, we need to build them into daily culture and not just occasional or only do when your doctor asks you do stay active. Cricket has set a high benchmark both as a spectator and participatory sport. But there has never been a better time than now to attempt doing the same for other sports and fitness activities. Whether it’s paying 9K for Hyrox or 2K for running a marathon, we need all kinds of products across price points and formats. Each will serve a different audience just like X, LinkedIn, and Instagram have their own native behaviors. Fitness and sports in India i think will also fragment into multiple formats and communities. We will need global products like Hyrox and Ironman and also homegrown formats like Devil Circuit and many more experiments. India is at an early but real inflection point in this space. We’re committed to doing our bit beyond just investing. So, we started a new initiative- Peakst8. More on this later. But yes, we will continue to partner, build, and contribute to this ecosystem where staying active becomes a culture in India.

Unnati Hooda has started off incredibly well, Tomoka yet struggling to find her rhythm here Unnati leads 11-8 at the interval of G1

@BadmintonJust Fantastic

Decider A dominant display in G2 by Unnati as she wins 10 of the next 13 points since 11-5 against Supanida Katethong to take G2 21-8

@aparanjape You can find some good ones here @urbancompany_UC I used their services last week. A very satisfactory service

A good time to get your Air Conditioners checked and serviced (filter, refrigerant gas, etc) is in March. Helps ACs run fine and efficiently (saving power), through the summer. Note - Good AC technicians are always hard to get a hold of, when summer hits!

@volklub @DealsDhamaka More people to buy EV cars now

@DealsDhamaka Ethanol raw material is basically imported too (US & Ukraine), toh woh strait of hormuz se nahi ayega? Asking for a friend

Be ready for 6 Km/Ltr mileage soon

The entire city seems to be heading to office, any direction you go there are traffic blocks @CPPuneCity

@nykaafashion Well all that is good but a quick resolution is all I request

@psvikram your patience and understanding. (2/2)

@nykaafashion it’s been 6 days we are trying to getting a return done for an item purchased. Everyday the delivery person @shadowfax guy says will be done but it doesn’t happen. Can’t be this difficult

@nykaafashion Order number : NYK 36851881-2922186

@psvikram Hey, we regret to hear about your unpleasant experience. It is never our intention to let our customers down. We'd like to help you with it. Please DM us with your order number so that we can have this addressed.

@aparanjape @MulaMutha @PuneCityTraffic @PuneGrandTour @PuneCityPolice Could have done over a weekend rather than doing on Monday & creating difficult to working population

I think it's a 8 km preliminary race across the city... so should be quick. Road closures should be brief ideally. No idea how they are planning it....and what the exact start timings are. And how long the roads will be actually closed. They should share these details! cc @SidShirole @mohol_murlidhar @navalMH @collector_pune

@JioHotstar why no coverage of BWF Indian open ?

@Iamsamirarora In similar context then what about no holidays in Diwali for all exchange participants???

So if it does not matter to anyone who does it matter to. I hope u will say the same thing when the market is open on Sunday Feb 1st. Why do we want market to be open just because there is budget that day? If our exchange has international linkages is it not unfair to foreign investors to have market open on Sunday. And what about January 1st each year.

@volklub @SavageAryan007 Iss main bhi jugaad hain people will engage the seat belt pahile and then take their seat

@SavageAryan007 That's actually a good feature. Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi maante. Main to kehta hoon Government ko saari seats ke liye mandatory kar dena chahiye yeh.

Why are people hating on this safety measure?💀 I see this as a huge positive, since Indians don't change their mentality unless we're forced to change it. I actually hope other manufacturers implement similar systems or government makes it mandatory for all cars.

@volklub @throttleandtech Vag 2.0 are not the same standards

1.0 VAG cars, definitely yes. Customers never valued them the way they should have. The paint quality and overall interior finish were at a level that even many 30-lakh cars don’t offer today. VW-Skoda's finished their own legacy in quality by pushing old customers into buying 2.0 cars by exchange.

If maintained well, VAG diesels don’t age. Will keep pulling like a locomotive while delivering a 20+ KMPL economy.
