Idiotic idea, not sure why they did this for menu items. Restaurant menu should show real images so that people ordering should have a better picture and decide accordingly. Plain and simple. 
 Looks like some weird Product Manager and Designer might have collaborated thinking the idea will looking cool.

@ka123321 Don't the restaurants themselves upload pics? Seems like a restaurant owner did this

Product Manager

Probably both the app and restaurants are trying act smart, but this is honestly worst customer experience even before ordering

On zomato, I see same food image on multiple restaurants which are not even under the same company. Thats equally misleading.

Yea I have seen that, esp dessert/bakery shops
Looks like Zomato provides a folder of common images to choose from

A few years back; Insta was run by Google influencers.
After some time then Microsoft & Amazon entered.
Then it was COVID > Layoffs season.

Now we see Instagram influencers from TCS, Accenture, WIPRO, HDFC Bank, SBI, Junior Constable from CRPF & so on…

Where we are heading? If everyone becomes an influencer then who will close the JIRA tickets? 😉🤷‍♂️

Which one is your weirdest corporate influencer?

How to launch AI in kitchen?

How can I make sure that the influencer that I'm following and consuming content of, is an expert on the topic that he's knowledge sharing on? Are there platforms for this?

Asking coz the number based metrics like follower count, likes, comments etc. can be manipulated easily and now in this AI age, even content can be. Where's the trust and authenticity?

The messaging, effort, influence and impact are the metrics I feel should drive an influencer’s social capital. Any views on this?

To all paytm folks and people having first hand knowledge of this matter: how true is the statement that the 1k layoffs are due to AI? or is it just a bs PR move to justify layoffs (like any other organisation)

Paytm: AI led job loss

100% bullshit 😆 
  
 AI is like an easy target to blame.  
  
 Truth is - They have accumulated insane NPAs in low ticket size loans which RBI also highlighted. Pausing that business made a huge chunk of people redundant. At the same time, there’s insane pressure to boost up the stock price as it’s still treading much lower than IPO price.

People who argued over authenticity over other thread. Here is the confirmed report on layoff!

PayTm layoff confirmed ✅

I ordered food and found insect inside the food. When i complain to swiggy customer support, the stupid executive told me to mail the issue.

One thing i don’t understand is if i have to mail the issue then what is chat feature for? Just to tail the user to email?

Does swiggy really care about customer? Would like to know someone who is  swiggy employee here

What can i do to teach that executive a lesson and do max damage to restaurant(mad over donuts) which sent food with insect? Someone from swiggy may know it better so asking it here.

Swiggy is getting worst day by day.

Does swiggy really give a damn about customer?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The startup I work at, in all of its existence, it has never given half a shit about AI. 

Now that the company is looking to raise its series C, over the last 2 months, all of the employees have been asked to build AI products so that the founders can sell this lollipop to investors and get a massive round. 

Guess what? it's working!

We'll soon close the next round by selling random nonsense in the name of revolutionary AI technology.

Not going to lie but Ashneer was right, Mankur Marikoo ka naam saath mei mat lena, tu mujhe gaali se se but naam saath mei mat lena( because he’s the biggest scam artist after Dakshat Shrivastava)

 Just like Vauld, Marikoo turns out to be the biggest sell out of all time yet again. With Fraud Shamani and Chetan Bro-goat following him, they promoted a scam Startup Conference in Noida stating you can raise funding there, that too within 3 days.

Turns out you have to pay 💰 a boatload of cash to get into the conference. Now it turns out to be a scam when the organisers fled away with the money.

It’s a pity that people follow these charlatans who masquerade as superior beings while their true character is revealed in moments like this..

- AEON, a Japanese supermarket chain, has implemented an AI system called 'Mr Smile' to assess and standardize employees' smiles and service attitudes across its 240 stores.
- Developed by InstaVR, the AI evaluates over 450 elements, including facial expressions and voice tones, and incorporates game-like features to encourage staff improvement.
- A trial involving 3,400 staff members showed a 1.6 times improvement in service attitude over three months, according to AEON.
- The initiative has sparked concerns about workplace harassment, with critics arguing that enforced smiles could exacerbate customer harassment issues.
- Comparisons have been drawn to McDonald's 'Smile zero yen' policy, highlighting ongoing debates about the impact of such measures on employee well-being.

Japan Supermarket Uses AI to Measure Staff Smiles, Boost Service Quality

Food app consumers being so nonchalant is just disrespectful 

P.S. I am very sensitive about food

Why would you order Biryani & Chinese from same place?!

Nestlé’s baby food brands including Cerelac and Nido added sugar in the form of sucrose, in lower and lower-middle income countries including India — but not in the products sold in Europe or UK, according to a report by Swiss investigative organisation Public Eye and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN).

The research was conducted at a lab in Belgium, and examined Nestlé’s baby food products from Asia, and Africa branded as Cerelac, Nido, Mucilon and Dancow. These contained an average of 3 grams per serving, and in some cases up to 6 grams. Similar products tested in the European markets showed no added sugar. A Nestlé India spokesperson has attested that the company has reduced the sugar content in the baby product portfolio by 30% over the past five years, NDTV reported. In 2022, the sales on these products exceeded Rs.20,000 crore in India alone.

Nestlé has been under the scanner in the past for similar violations in several African countries. Reports from the 1970s raised the alarms on their unethical marketing practices in an effort to push artificial feeding over breastfeeding.

Don't know why I'm so pissed with these news. Kinda knew it, but they have ruined generations. Most of Indians turning out diabetic, obese and heart attack prone may not just be "lacking exercise". The food has been laced with unhealthy sugars when we didn't even know they were bad for us. 
  
 And so passed with government.  Europe has such tough food laws, even US. But India, we are just numbers. If I die, there will be 50 to replace me, or even more 
  
 Fckin pissed!!
