(2/2)After public outrage, it’s now called a “nudge.” Sorry, but words matter. This was poor drafting, poorer judgment, and zero accountability. An apology would’ve shown maturity. Calling it a nudge feels like a cover-up. Disappointed.@FinMinIndia @PMOIndia @nsitharamanoffc

(1/2) Got a message from the Income Tax Dept stating my return processing is “put on hold due to discrepancies.” With year-end deadlines, this reads like a clear notice — not a gentle reminder. Caused needless panic. Turns out thousands got it. @nsitharaman @IncomeTaxIndia

Mulund’s big green dream taking shape! 🌿⛳️ A golf course at the old landfill could transform the area — a huge win if it materialises. Credit to @mihirkotecha for pushing this vision. Mihirji aage badho, hum tumhare saath hain! #Mulund #Mumbai @mulund_info #Greenspace

#Ather has taken a clear lead — honestly, I wish I had bought Ather instead of #Ola. With growing negative word of mouth, turning things around won’t be easy. Ola needs to fix after-sales fast. The next few months are truly make-or-break. #olaowners https://t.co/zz12UwxWvX

TVS regains the No. 1 spot with 30,309 units, ahead of Bajaj. Ather holds third, while Hero (12,199) surpasses Ola (8,400). November’s 116,849 EV retails mark the year’s second-highest monthly tally.

#Ola has fallen to 7.4% market share and 7th place among 2W OEMs. The stock is at an all-time low, almost half the IPO price. Not surprising — arrogant leadership ,social media full of complaints. Even my issue is unresolved for 3+ months.Price for ignoring customers #olaelectric

(2/2) But the moment you scroll down, it’s then flooded with mostly real service complaints with no reply from #Ola. Not sure if this is the ‘X’ algorithm or selective engagement to show positive comments on top but it definitely looks a bit curated. #olaelectric @OlaOwnersClub

(1/2)Noticed something odd on #Ola posts — the first 10–12 replies are always very positive, and many of those accounts were created only in Jan/Aug 2025. Not sure how these new users’ comments always show up at the top. Ola replies only to these, which feels a bit strange. 🤔

Development must be inclusive .UDAN promised “common man takes to the skies” — Such steep charges go against this spirit. Hope regulators review this decision keeping passengers in mind. Air travel is turning elite again. Needs urgent rethink @PMOIndia @narendramodi #UDAN #GOI

Mumbai Airport’s proposed user fees jump from ₹175 to ₹3,856 is extremely concerning. For many routes, this is nearly the price of a full ticket. This will make flying difficult for middle-class travellers.@JM_Scindia @AeraIndia @MoCA_GoI #MIAL #AviationIndia #mumbai #airtravel

Home battery storage won’t magically turn @OlaElectric around. The real issue is broken service, unhappy customers and bad publicity. Until that’s fixed, launching new products only shows how disconnected leadership is from consumer reality. Brand damage is already done. @bhash

Great news! A much-needed upgrade for Mulund East. With so many new buildings coming up, traffic was only getting tougher. This connector should really help—hope the work moves quickly and is planned with the next decade of growth in mind. 🚧🙂 @mulund_info @mihirkotecha #Mulund
