Unpacking Embedded Finance From Consumer POV

Whenever a new term enters the hype cycle, it's fashionable for people to bandy it about all the time, sometimes correctly but most of the time loosely. Embedded Finance is one such term. In this post, we will unpack the term, specifically from the consumer point-of-view. A consumer goods retailer in India offered installment purchase of transistor...

Why Are Bills And Statements So Frigging Hard To Decipher?

People regularly complain that it's very hard to decipher bills and statements from banks. Rant from Quora: Why are the description info on Bank Account Statements so confusing?

How To Fire Developers And Assemble Software From APIs

A few years ago, I'd visited the South Indian temple town of Tirupati with my family. On the way, whenever the train stopped at a station, the engine was switched off. But the air-conditioning still worked because it was powered by huge battery packs installed in the AC coach. Coincidentally, the manufacturer of these battery packs is located clos...
