And people wonder why companies are going RTO

And people wonder why companies are going RTO

don't go for RTO, pag nag power trip si leasing di nila bibigay sa inyo ang RTO. ididisapproved nila. kahit sabihin mo may pay ka in cash or may bank ng kukuha. still hindi nila ibibgay ang unit sayo kasi disapproved ng leasing dept

If you were investing in NPS after living in this country for more than 2 seconds then nothing can help you. One visit to an RTO facility would have given you enough indication to never ever touch any government scheme with a 500-foot pole. EPF is an unfortunate reality, but for the time being, there seems to be some way to still extract your money if you have some minimum service tenure. If you have that, withdraw as much as possible before they bring in a rule that withdrawal is not allowed till you are 250 years of age.

What are Fake "cloud providers":
• Buy land using your RTO bribe, cut at the tehsil
• Put photos of software running on laptop and call it server
• Get tax breaks, subsidies, land incentives and convert black to white
Real cloud/AI needs:
• Distributed systems research
• NVMe, RDMA, interconnect tech (none in India)
• Hardware manufacturing (Intel, AMD, seagate, WDC)
Recent Proofs :
• Pune land scam: ₹1,800 crore → ₹300 crore (political ties) - They told the tehsil that they will make a data center, and grabbed the land in the middle of the city for 0 price.
• Budget 2026 tax holiday: No audits, free money for scammers
What the govt should do?
Subsidize hardware builders , not land hoarders

Here is the exercise
- read the investor ppt of anant raj - the company is a call center company who happened to have land
- that company painted a few rooms and put up a photo of vmware running, that too misconfigured, and called itself a data center
- the company informed exchanges about rewards and awards which were not even real
- same story with RIL and Adani - they got land, already had land, and now will pay nil tax on any money made by that land - You can read the investor announcement of each of these companies in last 12 months.
- Data center tax break is an excuse to make free money for the land grabbers, for the middlemen.
The govt provided 0 incentive for hard disk makers, which actually hold data.
They provided incentives [import duty exemptions] for Ethernet switches. You can guess what will go into these so-called 'data centers': basic carrier-grade Ethernet switches, with Basic Customs Duty (BCD) slashed from 20% to 10%.
