    Hey @Lazy_Pay and @Swiggy this is a dark pattern and highly misleading. It can even be characterised as mis-selling where you lead a customer to a credit product by making false claims about the performance of UPI. @NPCI_NPCI @RBI would be well within their rights to reprimand

    Lending in India had a UPI moment. It's called the Open Credit Enablement Network (OCEN) and it'll be a gamechanger. We're excited to announce that Setu OCEN APIs are live. Learn more about why this matters: the-other-side.blog/accelerating-f…

    For the record @harshamjty pinged me about this within the hour and his team promptly had it fixed. It’s agility, product obsession, and care like this, that builds great companies. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s what you do with it that counts. Respect!

    One day, an Indian Fintech, battle hardened by MDR wars and razor thin UPI fees, will land on American shores. And most US startups/incumbents won't know what hit them.

    The actual cost of online payments in the USA is insanely high. See the chart below. The numbers are literally through the roof! For comparison, the blended cost of online payments in India is ~1%.

    Inspirational stuff from the whole team at @PhonePe_ 🙏🏽 24 hour backend overhaul on a system that serves well north of 100m users and thousands of transactions per second. Take a bow @_sameernigam @rahulchari9 and team. You set the bar high. Love and Respect!♥️

    Exhausted but exhilarated that we are back fully! After a gruelling 24 hours UPI is fully restored on PhonePe. Many to thank, but we are all just happy to have resumed @PhonePe_ services for our loyal users and merchants! @_sameernigam

    Books >> Newsletters. I've found that even the best newsletters get annoying/not relevant after a few reads. Instead, I focus on reading books. Here are a few of my recent favourites. Thread (1/n)

    I was a fool for not playing more sports after college. I grudgingly took up running/gymming to stay fit, but never enjoyed it. It was always such a chore. Rediscovered tennis ~two months ago and I haven’t had so much fun in years! Play something folks!
