Thyrocare founder slams railway tatkal system as tickets gone in 60 seconds– offers this unique solution
Every morning, thousands of people across India log on to the IRCTC website, hoping to book a Tatkal ticket. The booking window opens at 10 AM sharp, and within seconds, the tickets are gone. The site slows down, payments fail, and many users are left frustrated, staring at a screen with no clear answers. For those who need to travel urgently, it often ends in disappointment. What was designed to support last-minute travel has now become a stressful and unreliable experience. And now, concerns about the system are being raised not just by passengers, but also by voices from outside the railway network, including those in the healthcare sector. Dr A. Velumani calls out system failure — velumania (@velumania) Dr. A. Velumani, the founder of Thyrocare, recently took to social media to raise concerns about the Tatkal booking system. Reacting to a post that showed how the platform crashes almost immediately after bookings open, he called the experience 'shocking' and suggested it reflects deeper issues in how the system is managed. Rather than just point out the problem, he also offered a practical solution based on his own company's experience handling high digital traffic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He recommended staggering Tatkal bookings– opening slots for different trains at different times instead of all at once. According to him, this approach helped Thyrocare avoid system crashes without needing to invest heavily in additional servers. Public frustration runs deep For many users, problems with Tatkal bookings are all too familiar. While some point to overloaded servers, others feel the bigger issue is unfair access. Travel agents using automated tools are often blamed for grabbing tickets within seconds, leaving regular users behind. Frustrated passengers say they've had to rely on agents, try booking from multiple devices, or even ask railway staff for help just to secure a seat. On social media, many compare the experience to a lottery, where most people feel they have little to no chance of actually getting a ticket. Survey reveals low success rate A national survey by LocalCircles, carried out between April and May 2025, as reported by the Economic Times, shows just how tough it has become to book a Tatkal ticket online. The survey gathered responses from over 55,000 people across 396 districts: 73% said they were waitlisted within the first minute of trying to book. 29% said they managed to get a ticket only 0–25% of the time. Another 29% said they were never successful. Only 10% said they got a ticket every time they tried. Many users also shared that they've now turned to travel agents or other workarounds, saying they no longer trust the regular online booking system.

Built a Rs 5,000 cr empire. But Dr A Velumani 'runs away fast' from these kind of people
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads About Dr A. Velumani In today's fast-paced, high-pressure world, emotional intelligence is becoming just as crucial as professional skills. And when a man like Dr A. Velumani , the founder of Thyrocare and a self-made billionaire , shares his thoughts on human behaviour, it's worth paying attention. In a recent tweet, the Rs 5,000 crore entrepreneur offered a refreshingly honest take on the kinds of people he encounters and why he gravitates toward some — and instinctively distances himself from A. Velumani, known for building Thyrocare from scratch and scaling it into a Rs 5,000 crore enterprise, isn't just a business mind, he's a keen observer of people. In a tweet that reads more like a life lesson than a status update, Velumani reflected on the range of personalities he's come across in recent interactions. From youth to elders, rich to poor, he emphasised that his conversations aren't motivated by business interests or socialising, but by a curiosity to understand how people identified two broad emotional spectrums: those who show zero emotion and those who are highly emotional. Within the emotional group, he further broke it down into two stark opposites. On one side are the optimists- people who radiate happiness, express gratitude, keep smiling, and uplift those around them. Velumani admits he enjoys spending time with such individuals. But on the other end are the constant complainers- those who grumble, blame, hurt others with negativity, and stay withdrawn. Of them, he writes simply: "I wish to runaway fast."Dr. A Velumani was born in a small village near Coimbatore to a landless farmer, he grew up in a humble household where his mother sold buffalo milk to make ends meet. From these modest beginnings, he went on to earn a PhD in Thyroid Biochemistry while working at BARC . But his real leap came when he founded Thyrocare, a diagnostic empire built from 2021, Dr. Velumani grabbed national attention when he sold a majority stake in Thyrocare to PharmEasy for a staggering Rs 4,500 crore. What made the deal remarkable wasn't just the number, but how he got there. Owning over 66% of the company at the time, Velumani had built his stake the old-fashioned way, through years of disciplined reinvestment, without relying on loans, investors, or headline-making fundraising. It was a rare feat in India's startup landscape, underscoring his belief in bootstrapped growth and long-term value creation.
