Recently caught up with @LumioIN's co-founder & COO @kailazh to talk about their fast-growing ₹100 Cr run and their leap into the audio segment with the new Lumio Aura 5 bookshelf speakers. After hearing them in person, that ₹19,999 launch price is tough to beat.

I'm facing the same thing with HDFC and Kotak. Every call starts with, "Just checking how the app is working for you" and within a minute it's an insurance sales pitch.
Even Amex has joined the club. Doesn't seem to matter to them how many times I say I'm not interested.

Technically challenged ppl plus arrogance and sitting on high pedestals of power they give a damn to miseries of ppl so they don’t care
The state of the DND feature from @TRAI . I had enabled it more than 10 years ago, still get bombarded with spam calls every single day. Ideally I should not be getting any unwanted calls and messages.

e20 gives slow death to e10 cars by cutting its life short
The issues that customers are facing for the last three months might be because of these reasons and multiple reasons
- Pump level poor quality fuel because of bad tanks
- Pump level separation not worthy to store e20 fuel
- Staff not trained enough to prevent tanks from moisture and water seeping in
- Ethanol quality varying from state to state
- Ethanol quantity unchecked
- Ethanol 25 and 27 silently getting tested at some pumps
- Adulteration before fuel reaching pumps
There are 100 such possibilities
Media, instead of wasting time in studio, should take 30-40 samples from each state and try figure out the exact issue. Things vary from pump to pump.

As per NITI Ayog’s report in 2020, using e20 on e10 vehicles was a safety issue and they were urging to provide e10
Today everything is fixed! Wow!

Recently worked on a story about a Chennai traveller who was stranded in Doha due to flight disruptions and later completed his journey after taking a road route across the desert. The report focused on his experience as well as the impact on his family back home. @varunkrish

Still can't believe we found no takers for a Community builder role in Chennai that is open to take freshers too. Surely there's someone out there that will enjoy this role.
If you know that someone, please tag them or point us to them!

This is an assault case. The pilot must not be allowed to get away with this. The @DGCAIndia must investigate the matter. As also the @AirIndiaX must take action against the pilot. This is not a routine matter. It is a serious case of assault on a passenger. @RamMNK
Now this pilot has replied through a lawyer as his job is under threat for his rowdy behaviour.
He claims he was just a passenger and airline must not be involved! Says he was provoked by casteist remarks.
What was he doing in the crew line then? Where are those defending him saying he was crew?
