It's just been a month since I set up a proper website, and I've already received my first $ 500 in a side gig. The jobs started before I set up the website.
I help businesses automate their admin work if they already use Google Workspace products using App Script and Typescript.

WhatsApp marketing firm are dim a dozen who will help send messages via API. It's banks, food delivery, shipping companies... All send unsolicited WhatsApp messages and i think the government just uses one of the marketing agencies for it. Also, it's not against the meta rules as they aren't promoting any party but government communication.

same. Would love to look at the data set. Very unlikely they will share it because of copyright issues.

I have used Firefox sync in my new Mac M3 and it flawlessly synced everything from my older mac, my Android phone, my Linux workhorse, and Windows machine. Really love firefox.

Fintech in India is hard by design. harder still when it involves cross boarder payments. I trust what they are saying about RBI regulations, not following them to the letter means death.

Not everything is political. I can tell you this because I work with many of indian government departments very closely. The reservations JPC highlighted will be studied and after consultation with stakeholders it will tabled again.
FYI - The committee chairman and the IT Minister are from the same political party yet they disagreed and bill got pulled.
Here is a good premier on the JPC Recommendation [1]

live Law is a legal news website and not really a policy site so is the others mentioned in the thread.
Vidhi is a legal policy think tank based.
They did a point by point break down of recommendations of JPC and explanation you can check it here [1]

In case you are serious about understanding why it was pulled out and really care about the details for such an action, I highly recommend you check the Joint Committee on the Personal Data Protection report [1] the Press Release section where they released the 534 pages report on it.
Gist of it is - the committee recommended major changes across the board in all sections of the act so the IT Ministry would rework the bill and present it for discussion again in the parliament.
I know India looks like a lawless place because of the chaotic news coverage in the NYtimes but it is a democracy and most if not all government action have rational policy choices that presented in the Indian parliament. The loksabha proceedings (especially the question hour) is the best way to understand what goes on in India.
Edit: For those without a lot of time should check the point by point explanation and rebuttal for the recommendations here [2]

People working in this doesn't necessarily translate to future progress. You can confusing lead and lag indicators. Some people enthusiastically using a product and ready to pay money for it, is a lead indicator. A lot of people working on solution for a problem that does not exist is no indicator at all.
