BiziNation # 39: Humara Bajaj RIP

Wednesday, 23 December 2009 05:30

If anyone can come close to playing God today, then it's unargubaly Google. In its latest move it is contemplating on charging its users (virtually all of us) for accessing news online. We can't blame Google for this since this demand has come from folks like Murdoch and the likes who claim to be losing tons of money by inviting readers to browse stories free of cost. In India, Bajaj has taken a bold (but predictable and emotional) decision to discontinue its scooters.

Well Ashok, you'll have to wait a while for that. The lady with the lazy drawl is currently down with fever, et al. But will be back soon!

Thanks Akhilesh. Yes, VAS is indeed the way the mobile phone operators will make money here in India.

[this message is for Hritika]
Hi,
I could not quickly find a suitable way (email address etc) to reach Hritika and hence I am posting a comment here in this forum. Please convey my message to her.

Hi Hritika,
Pardon my spelling. I don't know how you spell your name but I am sure you will like the way I did. At least, it's closer to "Hritik Roshan"!!!
:-)
(stupid) jokes apart, let me come to the point. You have mentioned that you are based in Aus. So what's the real story of how Indians are treated over there? Almost everyday I read in Indian newspapers about ill-treatment of Indians etc. Could you please give us a real scoop of reality in your next PodCast?

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work with Abhishek.
