It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity

Trai’s been trying to curb the menace of spam calls & messages for 15 years. In 2018, it implemented a blockchain-based system for this. Is it working?

I block a few phone numbers everyday. After reading today's story by @TheDataAreClean & @PratapVikramSin it's clear that incentives to spam are so great that no amount of blocking can help. Must read @TheKenWeb the-ken.com/story/spam-gushe…

Today Nhost is featured in @TheKenWeb (by @TheDataAreClean) in an article about @HasuraHQ and open-source businesses.
It's amazing that an open-source project started at Facebook (GraphQL), led to Hasura in India, and then Nhost in Sweden.
Standing on the shoulders of giants 💪

got an automated spam call yesterday - it was a telephonic survey in kannada asking me what I think about the government’s actions on hijab, halal & loudspeakers - a press 1/2/3 type of thing.
did anyone else receive one?
I have so many questions.

Can the very feature that got open source co Hasura all the $billion valuations be the one that is hobbling it? @TheDataAreClean has an interesting story today!
⚖️ Building an #OpenSource business is a constant balancing act.
🔓Too open, and it’s difficult to earn and sustain. Too closed, and it’s hard to grow a community around it.

Building an open-source business is a delicate balancing act. Especially in India, a market that’s notorious for its price sensitivity. How do you make money when your core product is available for anyone to use without paying a cent?🤔

India’s first open source unicorn, Hasura has shattered the notion that proprietary tech is the path to building a billion-dollar business. Could its biggest strength be its greatest commercial weakness? @TheDataAreClean has a great read today: the-ken.com/story/hasura-ope…

A lot of estimates about where the internet startup ecosystem comes from Redseer. So much so even IPO prospectuses now use Redseer. But Qs linger on it methods that are all not above board. the-ken.com/story/market-res…

India’s cleanest city, Indore, is home to 10% of the country’s registered investment advisors (RIA). But the city’s RIAs are also subject to 90% of the investment advisor complaints made to market regulator Sebi. And naive investors are not the only victims. What is going on?
🧵

ALT Indore is a nesting ground for both registered and outlaw investment advisors. While authorities occasionally clamp down on improper activity, a web of dummy addresses, prohibited sales techniques, and plain chutzpah keeps the gravy train going, hurting retail investors and advisors trying to work in line with the rules

.@TheKenWeb is running a two part story about the Women's IPL. Good to see a highly regarded business publication giving this topic a close look. Reaffirms my belief: women's cricket is good business.
Looking forward to part two next week.
In this week's edition of Moneyball, The Ken's weekly newsletter that explains the business of sport, @jaideepjourno explores why a women's IPL is imperative for the future and growth of women's cricket in India.

Indian engineering edu is a victim of bureaucracy, with AICTE as its regulator. Its replacement, HECI is meant to delegate more autonomy to colleges. @TheDataAreClean looks at the draft bill & writes on whether HECI can really be any different.
