Still remember the day we launched. The happy disbelief we felt when we crossed 10,00,000 users in 90 days. But never once in our wildest dreams did any of us imagine that 300 Millions Indians would be using @PhonePe_ in ~4.5 short years.
What a #surrealjourney @rahulchari9!
A big THANK YOU to the 30 Crore Indians who have chosen PhonePe to make their payments quicker, easier and safer. We’re thrilled to be processing transactions from over 19,000 Pin Codes spanning more than 99% of the country! 🙏🏽🇮🇳

Same person. Got 1 right. 1 wrong. Guess what? It's ok. He's not god. He's not the devil. He's human! As flawed as all of us. So don't idolize him blindly. Humanize him!
They can slam PM Modi for various reasons - could be political, social or any other. But in their heart of hearts each one of the 130 Billion Indians knows that no one, I repeat, no one could have handled the #COVID19 crisis more responsibly & compassionately than him.

Such an amazingly vacuous PR stunt!
95% of @AppStore revenue comes from the top 2% most popular apps. But this new discount applies only to the bottom 98% apps. So @Apple is basically giving up just ~2.5% of future revenues, but making it look like a 50% discount. 👏👏👏👏
Apple will reduce App Store cut to 15% for any developer that earns less than $1M in revenue per year, starting January 1 (@nickstatt / The Verge)
