Godrej is a well known low quality builder indulging in outright fraudulent practices. Having dealt with them personally, I advise people to stay away from their properties. From struggling to get GST receipts for plotted projects to delayed handover to the cooperative society, buyers are left chasing what they’re owed. We pay on time, then spend months chasing answers and basic obligations. RERA has no actual use anywhere. And to top it off, In 2026, we’re still fighting for clean air, reliable water, walkable footpaths and public parks. We pay taxes, pay a premium to private developers, and then fight to get what was promised. Probably the Amrit Kaal we were waiting for since 2014.
The worst investment I did is buying a property of Godrej- big brand bigger, bigger fraud. Bought a property in 2023, they told we will get possession in 2026 mid, forget the possession, they are telling they want to add additional floors and that too 8-9 floors, without adding any extra plot to the project. From past 3 months the CRMs has bullied, disturbed, bribed and what not for us to sign the consent form to modify the RERA, as a person who works a full time job, this kind of harassment takes a toll on mental health, as now I am paying full EMI and possession not sure when they are going to give(maybe 2028(Rera date)), the constructions they have left in mid. For Phase1 owners also they are pushing the handover deadline. This is so disappointing! and now I am stuck, so whenever you decide to buy a property in Godrej, think 100 times before.

Yeah lol Tier 3 has nothing to do with a basic hygiene expected of a responsible entity. Anyway most Indian govt contracts are basically a bureaucrat awarding it to a known entity or to an entity owned by their family. Story of every other Indian govt contract.
Gross incompetency from Indian certificate authority eMudhra. You had one job: generate a 384 bit private keys and instead you used: 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237. This allows attackers to issue certificates for any websites. Embarrassing that it’s a family business run by largely computer illiterate people. Only 1 of the 3 have a remotely computer-related background and even they never actually worked a technical job in their life. If you look at the LinkedIn, their tech team is young, from tier 3 education and paid sort of bottom barrel. Imagine how many attacks you can design with AI given the existence of this genre of gross negligence.

Elon, as usual, is using his platform to shape public opinion and potentially pressure the Indian government into opening market to Starlink. What he fails to understand is that India can't be governed by online narratives. It's far too large and complex to be swayed by an oligarch pushing his own agenda.

This is how irrelevant and useless political class has become. Out of touch withpublic sentiments. India needs a change and now.

I have been requesting you guys to remove an unwanted service from my postpaid account. But I don't get a response from you guys. How do I escalate it? @airtelindia

The disconnect between India’s political class and general public is starkly visible in this tweet. The responses should be setting off alarm bells, yet they’re easily ignored when political interests take priority. Only a civil uprising can make things work for India.
Why not Pune? Joined a brainstorming session (virtually) with GCC leaders and industry experts to discuss Pune’s journey towards becoming a leading Global GCC Hub. With its exceptional talent, innovation ecosystem and strong industry base, Pune has immense potential. We are committed to addressing industry needs, enabling investments and creating the right ecosystem for faster growth. Pune is ready to take the next big leap! #Maharashtra #Pune

The Indian govt’s U turn on MDR for UPI coming so close to Apple’s launch definitely raises questions. The timing makes you wonder whether there was some US govt pressure behind the scenes?

Universities worldwide have far stricter rules on plagiarism and unfair academic practices than IITs, including the misuse of AI. I’ve seen these rules evolve from the pre AI era to today. But the quantum of punishment is not the larger issue. What we need students to understand is that academics is never a do or die situation. Professors and especially parents must build a culture where learning is enjoyable, setbacks are survivable, and changing direction is normal. Interests evolve, fields evolve. Students may discover that they simply don’t enjoy the course they once chose, CS has seen a decline among University students. The Indian education system needs far greater flexibility to change streams, transfer credits, or even change degrees midway. Geoffrey Hinton did his undergrad in experimental psychology.
A few thoughts on the IITB tragedy. First, exam cheating is not a minor offence in a serious academic institution. Neither is a 19-year old a kid whom the professor has to mould. Foreign universities have far harsher penalties than IITB. I personally saw a guy get expelled from a prominent French b-school and also lose his visa because of a cheating incident. Unlike cases of academic pressure, there is intent here. Second, there has to be due process to investigate the matter. The invigilator/professor has no right to threaten ANY consequence. Their job is to report the case and allow an impartial enquiry. Third, there is a serious problem if this is the fourth student suicide this calendar year (9 months so far). The institution needs a serious audit on how it functions. Fourth, it is sad to see how generative AI is wreaking havoc on people. This is no better than a narcotic epidemic systematically destroying societies or homes. Do better than ChatGPT.

Funny you deliver incomplete items and then after raising a request you ask me to call restaurant or mail you? Seriously? Order ID 8626360639 @zomato

Perfect example of how food delivery companies have a free hand on collecting arbitrary amounts as tax with no accountability and checks. Swiggy here justifies charging GST on original amount after literally giving away the item for pennies.

@adi_daga Thank you. GST was calculated on the original price, Aditya. ^Ashwin

Scratch beneath the surface of many “government backed” startups and the conflicts of interest are staggering. Contracts and hackathons conveniently land with firms linked to bureaucrats or their families. Most famous of it being Digi Yatra
This is the reality and quality of the startups MeitY is promoting. They’re lying about data sovereignty too - I was able to access their full infrastructure and found sensitive court data being processed on production servers based in Japan.

State of affairs of the so called best Police department. Every response in this thread is a blunt shrug off and asking the user to simply call the other person. This continues until you reach a thulla who takes 100rs under the table and closes the case. Bravo mumbai police

I see a dark pattern with Indigo. I book paid seats and meal and they move my seats right before departure. 2 people booked on a PNR are then made to sit 10 rows apart. IndiGo is falling apart in services. And I wish them doom if it continues with this shady pattern. @IndiGo6E

That's why I pay for internet. Use of AI where we are not chasing ever elusive benchmarks and scores, but using it to better the lives of people we love
My dog Rosie was given months to live. Chemo and immunotherapy failed I used chatgpt + computational genomics to design a personalised mRNA cancer vaccine for her tumour. Several of her tumours shrank Today we launch Gamgee (YC S26): personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs

Brown Milords are scared of being judged on social media. See the irony?
Supreme Court directs that there shall be no extraction, modification, dissemination, posting or reposting and uploading of live-streamed court proceedings on social media and other digital platforms without prior permission of Secretary General of Supreme Court and Registrar General of High Courts. Supreme Court orders that the Secretary General of Supreme Court and Registrar General of High Courts shall display this order on their court websites. Supreme Court makes it clear that the order shall have no bearing on news reporting. Supreme Court issues notice to Centre, and State governments on a plea seeking restraint on unauthorised extraction, dissemination and monetisation of court proceedings video on social media and other digital platforms.
