They’re boomers. Whatever is unknown is scary and needs to be regulated. Very anti-business tbh.

Lol!! Profiting on gambling is not poor policy. Higher taxes is good for you and me

Product Manager

Gambling should be banned. Not blodd taxed. People's lives get destroyed. Govt should be banning all such apps. But what does govt do? Hamara hafta do

Software Lead

Product Head

Because it is their job to ensure that the most vulnerable don't screw up their lives

By that argument a lot of things should be banned and prohibited.

Assistant Manager

Banning just because it harms people will demonstrate a bad light to potential external investments, limitation through high taxes is the first move before the industry eventually slows down

Product analyst

Crypto is as good as gambling. Not supported by any fundamentals. Why would govt not go after it to.protect the most vulnerable. 
 For fintechs why would the govt put up with high risk , high leverage and malpractices? Not only govt even Google has come after fintechs now. Also gambling is the main profitable wing of gaming companies in india

Jab tak Ambani aur Adani nahi ayega koi yeh danda nahi kar sakta

Lol. No love for gambling. Let it suffocate

Founding Engineer

Greater good + government+ regulations is a combo that doesn't exist. Govt is gonna keep increasing taxes. They cut corporate tax rate a few years ago, that shortfall has to be made up somewhere. Making tax an election issue is the way to go.

One of the reasons why IT industry grew such gigantic size in India is that poor babus and politicians didn’t understand what information technology is and how to impose rules to generate bribe for themselves. Government will always frame laws and regulations so that politicians and bureaucrats will get enough bribe and authority to safeguard themselves if at all they were caught.  
  
 If at all they really want to do good for society there are thousands of evils which are flourishing but they are already generating bribes for them. So they won’t regulate those.
