😏😏 it is huge chunk of business. Nothing nationalism in putting another country down.

I'll never believe the nationalism I see online. Most keyboard warriors don't walk the talk. It's just about seeking validation.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

I was leading a team which was involved in launching BNPL for a commodity product( flight tickets/train tickets), and the API we were using to cancel the tickets at the last moment from the 3rd party providers was flaky. 
It was supposed to cancel the tickets and provide refund back to minimize any losses we had. 

It was such a hit feature that led to 250% growth in numbers within a week. I was promoted, the star. 
My manager was promoted too.. 

But I knew inside something wasn't correct, BNPL just meant people not paying then but still had to pay sometime and 250% growth was just not something I could digest. 

I asked the team to switch it off for a couple of days, the whole company esp. Revenue teams were baying for my blood. 

After a month, there was financial reconciliation, and we realised the API was just giving the response of successful cancellation but was never actually cancelling it. 

The company lost almost 15 cr / day. No one wanted to believe this at all from top to bottom

The company never told the investors we fudged up but instead raised more funding by mentioning the 250% growth. 

From then on I realised most investors are just watchmen. 

They want to be on the fast deal more than being on the correct deal. 

Don't believe anything on the internet that you read. 
Almost all GMV numbers are cooked.

Don't believe the numbers just as is

BookMyShow Considers Cancelling Resold Coldplay Concert Tickets

Journalist

Maldives is going to be a big pain in as* for India in the coming future.
It's like that child who we cannot beat the shit out because we don't want it to go to China and help them set up Chinese military bases in the Indian Ocean.
And, secondly  we will have to send aid money of billions of dollars so that they do not trap into the belt and road initiative of china ....again for the same above reason.

Maldives a bad child

Important point to note is ease my trip is 2nd largest flights and Holiday booking app just after MMT and is fully home grown.

MMT has the Chinese investor as big  shareholder. IS THIS THE CONNECTION?

Why they keep price so high even when 90% seats are vacant...

I simply couldn't understand.

They are against unit economics or what...

Case 1, Price of Ticket 10k if 90% seats available

Case 2, Price is 11k if 10% seats available

Chal kya rha h ?
