We should export it out to Africa like the US exported to China. 
 Or just dump it right next to the great Pacific garbage patch in the Pacific ocean instead of polluting our landfills, water supply and air.

Tons of plastic imported by India from USA too lol 
  
 "The United States is by far the largest source of India's plastic waste imports, with over 60,700 metric tons shipped in 2023. This accounted for roughly 80 percent of the total volume of plastic waste imported into India that year. Canada followed in second, but by a wide margin, with around 9,500 metric tons. "

Why do countries allow plastic waste import?

Technically they don't. It happens under the table. Mostly illegal.

Imploding after investors turned off the taps a year so ago.. investors spoilt the ecosystem chasing growth with weak business models.. disintermediation doesn’t always work.. neither does setting up models that impose costs and ignore risks …
the chickens come home to roost..

Agritech startups .. train wreck in slowmo …

I am fed up here as I don't see accountability anywhere. 
There was a Telugu Movie starring Mahesh Babu where he being CM says, in foreign, people are responsible and accountable and they made their lives beautiful. How amazing, right? I truly resonate with that thought

We lack accountability in everything we do.
- if something goes right, it's us, if wrong, it's them!
- We don't hold our govt politicians on their promises, on delivering things of value
- Companies go on screwing us, we don't give a damn. Refunds are processed without timelines, cases in country are backlogged for years and years
- We cannot even keep our cities clean, our air pure and our water drinkable and we are least bothered by it
- We cannot maintain our own infrastructure like Buses, railways, trains. We fucking are stealing mugs from railway toilets due to which it's chained (wtf!)

We don't want responsibility and no one should question us.
How are we really supposed to grow?  
Stringent laws in place helps with accountability of companies who at all times think how can I squeeze more money from people and screw them
Accountability keeps everyone in check.

Change my view!

People in tech are in over their heads. There’s been an unsustainable inflation in salaries and somehow 20 somethings have actually started believing their skills are worth what they’re making

I speak to so many engineers who just with two years of experience are making 30-40 LPA packages. They actually believe they are better than people in say banking who make the same salary after 15 years of grinding it out. 

It’s all supply-demand. Supply will soon catch up to the demand. Salary normalization will happen. 

Your salaries may not grow for years if you don’t personally grow as well in skill set and become more valuable overall. 

At the least, don’t have an attitude about how much you make. Stay humble. Enjoy the good times while they are still here

curious to know. I remember fiscal strategy was quite different from other countries during covid. 

the government focused on infrastructure related expenses rather than direct benefit transfer.

What do you think we are doing right as a country?

Asking because the majority of population is still living like beggars and enjoying the hate politics. They talk about the golden period which happened thousands of years ago. But today we copy every app that the West makes eg Ola, Flipkart etc. The people who believe that India is now a Vishwa Guru have never went out of their underdeveloped town ever. What a joke

Don't take this post negatively but think hard and put your views. We all agree that India is doing great at this point of time but no one , literally no one is talking about the danger future we have in front of us in coming years.
Below points need immediate attention and action 

1) Huge water crises in all the major cities and it will only get worse each year.
2) Corruption still relevant in almost all government works from land registration to traffic fines to railway ticket fines, you name it. 
3) We really need one child policy for some years now otherwise we can't imagine how dark the future is in all terms, from food to employment to natural resources.
4) Almost every food product from oil, ghee, butter is contaminated and the quality is just getting worse, to meet demand and to increase profits. Also corruption here.
5) The weather is just getting worse because of all the concrete jungles we have created and this will also get worse , thanks to our never ending population explosion.


Barack Obama rightly said recently that we should focus on improving the health of earth rather than finding life on Mars.
Earth will still have oxygen even after nuclear energy wars.

Sometimes I really think that we need real Thanos , who is the only one who can help solve these problems.
