One of the elders in the family to me after my 2019 @BBCWorld interview on #DelhiAirPollution #delhiaqi “एक दिन ऐसा आयेगा, यह स्मॉग वापस ना जाएगा” Are we already there?

This “want to move out of Delhi due to pollution” parameter of 40% hasn’t changed much since the @LocalCircles survey in 2019. What is much more important is the 8% that are already working on moving out per this week’s survey…and must be attributed to all the administrators

If the refund is not done for the first booking and consumers are being charged multiple times, this is the #ForcedAction dark pattern by @IRCTCofficial 70% of IRCTC users surveyed by @LocalCircles have experienced the Forced Action dark pattern. Surprised that @JoshiPralhad

This @LocalCircles chart captures the deterioration just within the last 12 months…Timeliness, Staff Attitude, Customer Service, Information Timeliness & Transparency have all deteriorated and should be the starting point for any overhaul initiative @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia @RamMNK

#FakeReviews & #FakeRatings: This is an area where consumers & @LocalCircles along with experts & BIS did some amazing work to develop a standard for Online Reviews & Ratings in 2022. However, even 3 years later @IndianStandards & @jagograhakjago have just not been able to

This #WazirX has dark patterns written all over it. The regulator #CCPA @jagograhakjago needs to get active and issue notices @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare @LocalCircles has studied all major #cryptocurrency platforms used in India and most have issues. @RBI @SmalhotraRBI

Now that the standard for hospital bills has been issued by the Government, we need to make sure the public knows so if anyone is faced with a big hospital bill without detailed breakdown, they question @KavitaDatt @DeebashreeM https://t.co/gZOBfWkkts @VishnuFNO @malpani

If you have been one on the receiving end of a #hospital bill with limited or partial details, you aren’t alone. 53% Indians surveyed who received a hospital bill did not get full details of the itemised charges for services, consumables & facilities. 74% demand that

Pleased to share that @IndianStandards supported by an able team of experts has published the Indian Standard IS 19493:2025 format for hospital bills in India. Hopeful that this will reduce citizen grievances with hospitals, drive increased transparency and reduce incidents with

@yashoazad @AshwiniVaishnaw The latest #VandeBharat report card by @LocalCircles ! Clearly, customer service is rated poorly by travellers…And the way @RailwaySeva @RailMinIndia seeks feedback in a pushy way adds a bias… @PranavBalakrish @ShivrattanDhil1 @marinebharat @arpan355 @RohanMagdum7

#BharatTaxi the Government taxi app is likely to have #darkpatterns too. Why? Is it #NammaYatri in disguise may be? @VishnuFNO @ProsaicView @malpani @ggganeshh @1987Kulbhushan @saket71 @mountain_rats @ramsundaramTOI @suchetadalal @kapsology @theskindoctor13

Indigo should file whatever against the aviation ministry if they believe the ministry’s actions led to the issue. The commercial contract

Sad that a PIL by grieving consumers is needed for #CCPA/@jagograhakjago to act and initiate class action. What happened to suo-moto cognisance & action? This is setting a poor precedent and the Indian consumers deserve better.. @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare

Platforms claim to be “dark-pattern free,” yet hidden fees and tricky prompts still greet users every day. A new survey suggests the problem is far from over, @VikramOza explains what it reveals about India’s digital consumer experience. Watch live: https://t.co/ul5hMzdpff

Why are airlines exempt from India’s dark pattern audits? A new LocalCircles survey finds 80% of passengers faced manipulative designs—greyed-out cancellations, hidden fees, delayed refunds. IndiGo’s December chaos exposed how harmful these patterns can be. So where’s the
