This will be actually a disadvantage to all women out there, company will prefer less those who are newly married or planning to have a kid.

I don't think anyone wants 2 years leave but provide support like WFH, flexible schedule, child care, etc. 

What's your view??

Do not support this at all!!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Can't share too many details but basically went to an invite only event with some program unveiling and partnership announcements from GOI and other companies.

Minister who was chief guest arrived late, other guests (also ministers) arrived later than him.

After arriving, he starts his speech by saying i left important work to be here bla bla bla, sheer arrogance in the way he conducted himself. Didn't even speak in Hindi, was speaking to press the entire time and didn't care about Hindi speaking locals and audience who were specially invited for the event. Clicked photos, then left within 20-30 minutes of arriving. 

Other guests who were invited who i spoke to (non GOI) were saying the same thing - this govt is all talk and big numbers, detached from ground reality. They were brought there for optics, not for any change or meaningful work. And they can't say no either.

GOI has become an entity who everyone puts up with, not out of choice. No one wishes to engage with ministers willingly anymore. They are forced to. Because when it all comes down to real work and projects, they want their own commissions / benefits regardless of the project at hand. And they will act like kings throughout the process, no scope for dialogue or negotiation. 

I think it's time for more corporate and startup leaders to join politics and clean up the act. Someone needs to. Or else we will lose a lot of business to neighbouring countries in the next few years.

Went for a high profile event, mood towards govt is dismal

Hey fam, how’s it going???

Given the exit poll flipping and not enough visible strength panning out for NDA, it will be difficult for the ruling party to work on reforms, pass bills and policy continuity as there will be strong opposition pushbacks.

The entire modi stock play across psu banks, infra, power, railways, adani stocks, etc seem to have corrected deeply which were rallying based on exit polls. A lot of them are circuit down.

I feel it’s better to hold on to cash reserves and see if NDA atleast secures 300+.

If NDA come to power with strong opposition, how do you think the modi stocks will pan out? Do you all think they will still be strong bets in modi 3.0?

I legitimately find it concerning that so many Grapeviners are not just conservatives but outright Sanghis who betray their intelligence with 5th standard debate tactics or just outright hate. Some quick pointers before you come at me with pitchforks

1) I voted for Modi in 2014 but then from 2019 onwards I changed my mind (more on that later)

2) Almost everyone here belongs to the urban elite who have voted for BJP. However, the so-called educated elite feels that the everyday uneducated common man is dumb. Education does not equal intelligence (correlated yes, but not an indicator). If you don't like how a significant portion of India you never see or interact with voted, tough luck, welcome to democracy. 

3) Also is this result, really so bad? It's stupid to think that the BJP as the sole ruling party is good for the country. Great for your stocks on the Sensex and MFs but not for the actual common man. They are the silent majority who make the country run and they just let everyone know that although there has been an economic boom, they have been left out. 

4) Take a chill pill. The India story is still alive and well. In fact, having some diverse voices can help a democracy. Not ram-rodding bills that everyone from farmers to jobless youth hate can be good. You just have to learn to play with others & listen for once.

Finally, I supported Modi because I was tired of Congress shenanigans and I supported him up to demonetisation. However, the blatant horse-trading, the weaponisation of ED, Hindu vs <insert religious minority> rhetoric and the lack of any balls to face unscripted questions in TEN years made me change my mind. 

PS: The knee-jerk reaction of every sanghi here is to deploy "What about X & Y", I will not respond to any of those arguments because that's just a week cop-out. Judge yourselves on your own merits, not that you are somehow less evil.

Jai Hind. Jai Bharath. Aam Aadmi Zindabad.

Why is Grapevine so Sanghi? Observations on political discussions here:

Product Marketing Manager

Rahul Gandhi in a rally says this :
"The youth who are unemployed and watching Facebook Instagram reels today will be given ₹1,00,000 khatakhat khatakhat!"

Now, I don't know how can someone be an advocate for this kind of statement?
I know this won't happen but at least give a proper reason. He is literally saying watch reels and earn.

I really feel privileged that TikTok is banned after hearing this from a leader who is trying to become PM of our country.
