@ankurb So the hypothesis that autowallas are not facing any impact, is exactly what has to be probed and proved right.

@ankurb …and prevent new competition because their pricing is predatory. If it is really happening then stop that, else let it be.

@ankurb In principle (and theory) the problem is that it is unfair for some large companies to drive smaller companies out of business…

@ankurb Umm, not talking about Net Neutrality here. Airtel Zero isn’t really a Net Neutrality violation.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ankurb from Mahavir Enclave, New Delhi

@ankurb Do you see any problem with the idea of Airtel Zero?

@ankurb So the contention is that they are preventing others from “innovating” or “executing better” through predatory pricing.

@ankurb Basically Ola and Uber have so much money that an Autowala cannot stay in the business until they run out of cash.

@ankurb Predatory would mean pricing services such that it becomes unsustainable for others to compete until the predator runs out of money.

Why on earth is this “people shouldn’t be sleeping on footpath” defence going around? Footpath is where people should be and cars shouldn’t.

@kingslyj @_basestation Improved that, thanks!

Btw, how come you stay in Bangalore and are not used to taking turns at the dead end?

@KishoreBhargava Pour over is the favourite. And Aeropress for the convenience + control.

Those days of raising service tickets to the MCA are back! :/

@kingslyj Ha. I was telling @nigelbabu that. :)

@twitortat I suggested QBO to him and clearly he’s not happy.

At @hasgeek events everyone asks for discounts (source: medium.com/@zainabbawa/on…).

And I ask for vadas.

via Tweetbot for iΟS from Malviya Nagar, New Delhi

@harisibrahimkv Absolutely. Also commendable is writing that thing in an hour. @zainabbawa

I have a feeling that @zainabbawa thought of me when she talks about interfacing with “people of all dimensions, shapes, sizes…ys

It takes a hell lot to organise events. Here’s what @zainabbawa endures to put up conferences I look forward to: medium.com/@zainabbawa/on…

Mom wants a Whirlpool engineer (and not a technician) to inspect the fridge. Guess next she’ll verify the degree of the guy who comes in.
