'Download Swiggy Instamart and…': Director reveals how to ‘lower prices' in delivery apps
A man whose LinkedIn bio identifies him as Sarthak Ahuja, Director of Niamh Ventures Private Limited, has claimed to have observed a striking phenomenon about how India's fast-growing quick commerce apps might be adjusting their pricing strategies based on what's installed on your phone. Ahuja exemplified how downloading the online grocery delivery app Swiggy Instamart on his phone apparently led to a drop in prices on the Blinkit app. "The moment I downloaded Swiggy Instamart on my phone... I noticed the prices on the Blinkit app went down," he wrote. According to the post, the Director noticed that after installing a competing app like Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit's delivery charges and prices for non-MRP commodities (like fruits and vegetables) dropped by nearly 20%. Read | Swiggy stock tumbles 6% in biggest 1-day crash in over 2 months. What triggered the sharp slide? "If Blinkit charges you, say, ₹ 21 to deliver your order on average, including packing fees, delivery charges, etc., you'd notice that the moment you download a competitor, these charges reduce by about 20%," the post reads. The Director suggests that apps you download — like Dream11 (fantasy sports) or crypto trading apps — could contribute to your risk profiling when applying for loans. Read | Are Swiggy and Zepto failing blind users? Delhi high court to hear accessibility case "I'm almost certain it contributes to your digital footprint as that of a risky persona," the post claims, warning that financial institutions might offer higher interest rates based on app usage patterns. 1. Download competing apps and switch between them often to pressure companies into offering better prices — even if the effect is temporary. 2. Consider using a 'household phone' (such as a mother's phone in many Indian families) for shopping and sensitive transactions, minimizing personal digital profiling. The post has touched a nerve, resonating with users across LinkedIn who shared their own anecdotes about algorithmic pricing and digital tracking. "Sarthak Ahuja: I can give you one tip that I noticed while ordering groceries as a test sample to make sure if it's true or not: I use a Vivo X200 (it's around 80k), and when I add a few staples and groceries in the cart, the total was around 6k. I found another Android phone, I think the price is around 10k or so. When I downloaded the same app, added the same stuff, the price was around 3.5k. I won't name the app, but if you have an Android phone or arrange one priced around 8k or 10k, you'll find this similarity on all apps, be it any. If you want, I can make a sample video too for your reference, as I think they read phones' IMEI numbers." "The algorithm doesn't just watch what you do, it watches who you are. Competitor apps as price negotiation tools is genius. Also, love the idea of a 'mother's phone' as the last bastion of digital anonymity."

The Vivo X200 Ultra could launch with a much more powerful camera sensor
When Vivo launched the x200 lineup last year, it teased an Ultra model but said we wouldn't see it until 2025. While we're still not clear on a release date, we've learned a few details about the upcoming flagship's camera setup that have us excited. A tipster leaked the information on Weibo and revealed several key details about what to expect from this handset. The Vivo X200 Ultra is said to have a three-camera setup that includes a 50MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. If that sounds a little familiar, it's because the Vivo X200 Pro has the same main and telephoto units. What sets the X200 Ultra apart is the sensor for its ultrawide. A 1/2.76-inch sensor will allow much more light to enter, making it ideal for taking higher-resolution shots even in dim conditions. In addition, the main camera will default to a 1.5x zoom. That's roughly a 35mm focal length on its standard zoom, and the ultrawide will default to a 1x zoom setting instead of 0.5x or 0.6x. Like any other phone, though, you'll be able to adjust the zoom on the fly. While the camera upgrades aren't as flashy as others, the increased sensor size will offer better low-light photography. The phone is also rumored to have a 6.78-inch display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a battery up to 6,000mAh in size. While impressive, there's just one problem: we aren't sure if this phone will release globally or not. Vivo releases some of its phones in the western market, but not all. The Vivo X200 is not available for purchase in the United States, and that doesn't bode well for its Ultra variant.
