I built the site and scrapers with the LLMs, but the data has been completely validated and there are many checks in place -- including manual supervision by me -- to ensure there is no hallucination.

So, UPI is the most popular way Indians transact online. More than 85% of online transactions are via UPI, so how UPI is used gives you a greater visibility into how the India is spending.

But point taken on the LLM-y sentences/vibe. I can absolutely fix those. I built the site because when I was a journalist, I used to spend a lot of time visiting these government websites to get all the data out. And in my new profession, we spend a lot of money to analysts to just give us a lot of this same data points.

Thanks for the feedback!!

About 11 years ago, I cold-emailed Om for his guidance. I was an absolute nobody, living thousands of miles away. Not only did Om patiently explain how I should think about my career, he kept in touch over the past decade checking in on how I was doing. I left journalism last year to do something else -- coincidentally, again, following Om's footsteps -- and had been meaning to write a long email, sharing so much. I deeply regret missing the chance to have another conversation with him.

Om has been deeply impactful to my journalism career and beyond. He was way too kind and leaves a big vacuum.
