Terrible experience with an auto driver today. I had a really unpleasant experience with an auto driver today, and I wanted to share it here. I booked an auto for a short distance of around 4 km and had some luggage with me. The bill amount came to ₹59, but the driver demanded ₹80 instead. I politely said, “Sorry, Anna, for such a short distance, I can only give ₹65-70.” But to my shock, he started swearing at me in Tamil—using the worst swear words you can imagine. It was beyond disrespectful. Just because I refused... 2 0 replies

Data privacy is a joke in India! I stumbled upon a glaring issue with a govt website (Kerala Tailoring Workers Welfare Board) website that exposes personal and sensitive information of citizens publicly. No login, no verification — just a serial membership number (incremental!) is enough to fetch everything. Here’s what’s accessible: * Full name * Aadhaar number * Mobile number * Address * Bank account details (incl. IFSC code) * Date of Birth * and the list goes on The site’s API lets anyone retrieve this data easily. By looping through membership numbers, you can scrape... 5 0 replies

PN Gadgil - the Next Jewellery Giant? PN Gadgil, came with IPO in Sept'2024.

In last few years company has focused on increasing the SSSG and didn't open much stores however it seems that after IPO, company has focused on opening the new stores also. This could possibly help in further revenue growth. Company is going to... 2 0 replies

Are IPOs and acquisitions the only two positive outcomes for startups, or are there other success paths? I recently spoke to an acquaintance who spent the last 10 years growing his company. Their last VC round was 2-3m Series A before they couldn't raise any more. The investors and customers then was much more pro-spending. His company is currently (finally) at a stage of profitability, and he's stepping away from it. He cautioned me that the path of VC-financed has only 2 endgoals - IPO and Acquisition. And they want you to do that fast, not (for eg) take 10 years. Are there any other favourable... 4 0 replies

Have a couple thousand to ten thousand usd contracts here and there, totalling around 100k but none of them are recurring, all one offs. In fact they're not even about the core technology but some random consulting we're doing on the side. Is a seed round possible with these metrics? Or how realistic would you say it is? The company is in a hot but... 3 0 replies
