IndiGo will shrink in January and there is little it can do

IndiGo, India's largest carrier, is expected to shrink its operations in January, with around 30-40 planes being grounded. The airline has already grounded over 40 aircraft and will mitigate the impact through wet leases and upcoming dry leases. Changes to the booking engine indicate an 8% drop in capacity between December and January. The airline is also reducing services on various routes, while maintaining its operations in metro segments and RCS-UDAN routes. The temporary reduction in capacity may affect IndiGo's target to cross the 100-million-passenger mark this financial year.

Twodos is a simple to-do app that doesn't remind you of your tasks

Twodos is a simple and minimalist to-do app created by software developer Adam Whitcroft. Unlike other task management apps, Twodos does not overwhelm users with numerous features and options. It consists of a single screen divided into two sections: "Sooner" and "Later." Users can add tasks, mark them as done with a swipe, and move them between sections. Although there are no reminders, users can see the time elapsed between task creation and completion. Twodos integrates well with iOS and supports widgets, themes, and customizable colors. Whitcroft has no plans to release a Mac version, and future updates will focus on minor improvements rather than additional features.

Meta India public policy head Shivnath Thukral to step down

Meta India public policy head Shivnath Thukral will be stepping down from his role at the end of this month. Thukral, who joined Meta (then Facebook) in 2017, has been with the company for nearly seven and a half years, serving in multiple policy roles. He was appointed director of public policy for Meta India in November 2022, following the exit of Rajiv Aggarwal. Prior to that, Thukral served as director of public policy at WhatsApp India for about four years. He was elevated to Meta's vice-president for public policy in March 2024. "It is not an easy decision to make, but I feel very confident that our policy engagement with stakeholders is at a credible and constructive juncture, and we can only build further on that," Thukral said in a LinkedIn post on June 11. "There is always more to do, and I know the team is well equipped to navigate the waters well. Having helped build some of the systems and processes, I do feel it is a good time to let the engine and the team work on their own," he added. Thukral's next move is unclear at the moment. "For now, I aim to focus a bit more on my running, health, and family... One should never stop learning, so will update on the next move which will help me learn more and do new and different things," he said.
