When it comes to finding accurate information, we at @LocalCircles now find @grok & #Gemini3 to be better than @ChatGPTapp @perplexity_ai on public and consumer issues research in India. 👏🏼👏🏼 @sundarpichai @elonmusk @demishassabis @joshwoodward @tulseedoshi @jimmybajimmyba
Guess what, the collective exactly knew how the #AQI/Delhi #Pollution situation was going to unfold i.e. authorities like @CPCB_OFFICIAL @CAQM_Official @moefcc @gupta_rekha @mssirsa will fail to implement #GRAP timely or do any effective enforcement of norms and we will all…
If this is not disclosed upfront in a transparent manner to restaurants, it will also classify as #ForcedAction #darkpattern and should be addressed by #CCPA @jagograhakjago @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare @varunkhera22 @ChefKunalKapur @VijayGoelBJP @sagar_daryani @KabirSuriAzure…
Here’s video proof of how rider allocation is being manipulated at @zomato . For 31 days we’ve escalated this, and nothing has changed. Our restaurant is repeatedly shown as ‘unavailable’ at peak hours while nearby outlets within 50 meters keep getting riders. This isn’t…
A lot of consumers lately seem upset with #PrimeVideo because they find they are being subjected to the #ForcedAction #DarkPattern. An OTT subscription sold & later rental charges imposed & advertisements introduced on most content. @VishnuFNO @ggganeshh @letscinema @nakulvibhor…
One of the issues here is the #BaitandSwitch #darkpattern used by the operator where a very short time is displayed to the consumer for their taxi to arrive but once they confirm their booking, the actual time for taxi to arrive is displayed which is much higher. What such a…
Thank you for your kind words 🙏 Also thanks 🙏 to media entities like @the_hindu @DainikBhaskar @medianama @TheLallantop who stay connected with the ground reality and still have the ability to question.
Most of the platforms haven’t taken the time to examine their #darkpatterns thoroughly before giving a dark pattern free declaration to the regulator #CCPA @jagograhakjago which itself hasn’t done much checking. Here is a post declaration submission analysis of the #DripPricing…
The reality of #darkpatterns in India as it stands today. While 26 platforms claim themselves to be dark pattern free, @LocalCircles finds that 21 of them still aren’t. All they have to do is have their own users/consumers test different transactional journeys to know where the…

Out of the platforms that have submitted self declarations to #CCPA @jagograhakjago on being #darkpattern free, over 20 of them still have dark patterns as of today. Kindly implement an effective check and balance process @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare so the entire initiative…
I am told that the Government has written to IRDAI to mandate digitisation of health insurance claims processing and to implement cap on premium increase for senior citizens. Moves in the right direction and a sincere thanks to all friends on X for raising and sharing experiences…
43% health insurance policy holders faced problems during the claims process. In many cases discharge delayed from hospitals @IndianExpress shows that in addition to journalism of courage it also is citizen centric journalism that is key! @LocalCircles will escalate to the…
Seeing media writing about how #Zepto has fixed its #DarkPatterns. Well, it has definitely fixed #DripPricing which is 1 of the 13 dark patterns. Others dark patterns like #PrivacyZuckering which is manipulating prices based on device type, personal user data, shopping patterns…
In Part 2, Zepto CEO Aadit Palicha talks hygiene concerns, delivery fee debates, and why transparency is non-negotiable. Plus: betting big on quick commerce, scaling beyond groceries & cracking the FMCG vs D2C ad puzzle. forbesindia.com/article/leader… By @nainithaker
Public inputs received from community discussion amongst international fliers on @LocalCircles @DGCAIndia 1) Have airlines flying in/out of India make anyone who is under 70 requesting wheelchair uploads/present a current Doctor’s certificate with reasoning 2) Have airlines…
43% not getting full #GST2 is a sizeable number & merits having a process to ensure companies are passing it! @nsitharaman @GST_Council @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare @VishnuFNO @BaluGorade @speakshoutroar @malpani @monikahalan @skh27 @Indian10000000 @NIKHILLJHA @neerjain @tsarun1992
Health & Life Insurance companies need to do better when it comes to passing the #GST2 exemption to the consumers. “43% of those who renewed or bought a new policy said they did not get the full rate reduction benefit” Many say base was increased significantly and they are paying…
Disagree respectfully. Thousands of tech startups with no physical stores/warehouses do not necessarily need to pay routine bribes every year... @sbikh @RajanAnandan @geetikadayal @TVMohandasPai @NandanNilekani @vijayshekhar @rajeshsawhney @vishalgondal @alokmittal001 @mobhat…
This is clearly #DripPricing And here #Myntra has even given a self-declaration to @jagograhakjago #CCPA @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare claiming that it is #darkpattern free. Other dark patterns below like #ForcedAction (shipping an order even if the consumer has cancelled it on the…
@myntra I noticed that an extra ₹23 Platform Fee is added at checkout, but it is not shown on the product page. This looks like drip pricing, which is listed as a dark pattern under Indian consumer protection guidelines. @MyntraSupport Look at this !
🚨 SHOCKER: Around 66% of business firms surveyed across 159 districts in India have admitted that they paid bribes in the last 12 months. (LocalCircles survey)
Two important data points. 66% are the ones who paid a bribe just in 2024. 34% just did not pay it in 2024, doesn’t mean they didn’t pay it in the years prior to it. Also included list of all the departments that businesses admitted paying a bribe to in 2024. @LocalCircles…
So one of the key issues with having #darkpatterns on taxi platforms is that they become the modus operandi for drivers/captains also. And then if the platform launches premium service like #UberBlack the deceptive practices continue. Case in point a recent complaint on…
One of @LocalCircles takeaways from its #darkpattern studies has been that they are more prevalent in markets with high competition. For #taxiaggregator services, #Bengaluru is the city where highest percentage of users reported experiencing them… More at:…
