Silencing reality 

The sophistication of the jargon such as shared mobility and the driver as a partner in the shared/gig economy as spouted by the Ola founder, cannot mask that these folks are susceptible to price adjustments, no sick leave, zilch support otherwise. The narrative of disruption often silences the social fissures catalysed by neoliberal capitalism. 
The language of Dalal Street is nauseating.

Start Ups need to follow the law

A start up founder down south did not pay his vendor, was arrested. The hooplah about his arrest connected to business environment is absurd. Defaulters of all ilk, would have to follow the law and its long arm. I have not been paid for my consulting services by founders who think they are humankind’s gift to India. Honestly, people do not need your homestays nor your tents. Fancy communication and TED Talks do not cut ice. Pay up Dudes.
