Do you really think that we will all have more time with this shift? I think with AI we will all generate more work for ourselves and not less work. Marc(A16Z) compares this to how building more lanes on a highway results in more traffic not less.

Could you please elaborate on the quadratic curves in real life?

I’m a startup founder where most of our employees are based in India. I don’t condone this move by Razorpay. However, as someone else pointed out, the legal process in India is not robust, and it is biased toward people in power. Here are some constructive ways to avoid situations like this:
1. Register your company outside of India. The US is an excellent option because of the solid legal framework.
2. Encrypt the data. Ask for access from your customers, even for your own support teams.
3. Use international companies for services whenever possible.
It would be great to have a regular process to delete old data if you don’t need it for business purposes, and this is hard to do because you could develop an innovative way to add customer value using the old data you don’t know of today.

We use both Twilio and Plivo in our text messaging products in CallHub. Both are great vendors to work with. We'll not move to Amazon just for a lower price. The things that we value are,
1. Quality of delivery
2. A consistent API across all our telephony needs.
3. Great support when we need it
I especially love the fact that these vendors are constantly innovating and give us early access to those innovations as well. The most recent was Twilio's release of studio.

Wow! This is great. The prices of infrastructure services like AWS, Plivo are mostly falling down. I wonder if these price drops are forced due to competition or if the services expect to see an increase in usage due to price drops.

The Math is correct. Those are the current prices. You are saying that Olacab like companies are able to afford to have low prices because they have investor money to operate at a loss. That may be true too. Yes, it will be interesting to see who can hold on for longer.
We have a reached a stage where rickshaws and cabs are competing for the same market segment, within the city.

In Bangalore, rickshaw fares have been going up, while cab fares have been going down in the past few years. Currently, it costs Rs.13 per KM for a rickshaw[1] and it costs exactly the same, Rs.13 per KM, for a small cab[2] during the day in Bangalore. During the night, rickshaw is 50% more expensive than using a cab.
A cab is clearly a more comfortable ride than a rickshaw. I don't see how the rickshaw business will continue to operate and grow under these conditions.
Cab services have been growing steadily though.

We use Mailflo for customer support at CallHub. Handling support and regular emails from within GMail is slick.
I've lived in Chennai(India), Bay Area(California), Washington DC, and in Bangalore(India).
