Why no major FAANG operations in Chennai? I always wondered why Chennai has no major faang companies. Google, Meta, Microsoft all have extremely large operations in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Gurgaon. Google has even opened a small office in Pune. But none of these companies even consider Chennai? Why is that so? Is it because of language, weather, lack of talent or lack of any support from govt which they expect? Many of these engineers in these companies earn 1.2-1.3Cr with just 4-5yrs of experience. Having such a economically viable crowd is always great for the micro... 2 0 replies

How can I help a sick stray cat, and where can I find affordable treatment for her? Back in December, during the rain, I let a pregnant stray cat stay under the parking lot with a little cardboard setup. Sadly, all her kittens passed away. She was really young herself and probably didn’t know how to care for them. Since giving birth, her stomach has stayed big and keeps growing. I tried giving her a dewormer mixed in food, but it didn’t help. She is lethargic, doesn’t meow much, barely moves, and her big stomach seems to weigh her down. She doesn’t play or chase around... 3 3 replies

Struggling to Find Supportive Care for Unintended Pregnancy – Help Needed Hi everyone, I’m currently dealing with an unintended pregnancy and looking for a compassionate, non-judgmental gynecologist around Porur. Unfortunately, my current doctor has been dismissive of my concerns, pressuring me to continue the pregnancy despite my personal circumstances(I'm married). I’m hoping to find a doctor who respects patient autonomy, offers clear guidance, and provides non-judgmental advice regarding medical abortion or contraceptive options. It’s also been incredibly frustrating to realize how hard it is to access emergency contraceptives in Chennai. Many pharmacies don’t stock them, which put me in this... 2 5 replies
A paranoid guy taking measures to mitigate phone and wallet theft I have been recently hearing of an alarming number of phone thefts and wallet thefts in my known circle.

Now I have decided to take a few precautions with the wallet: * Stop carrying debit and credit cards, leave them at home. Their use is now rare anyway. * Stop carrying PAN, Aadhar, etc. * Stop carrying vehicle RC,... 4 12 replies
