Nearby Spot

Nearby Spot is a feature of Google Pay in India that allows users to find local stores selling essential goods and groceries during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

About

Nearby Spot has been initially rolled out to the cities of Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, and it contains information about COVID-19 received directly from the Ministry of Health. Additionally, "Nearby Spot" will also enable users to donate to the PM CARES fund or Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) such as SEEDS, GiveIndia, United Way and the Charities Aid Foundation, who work to continuously provide protective equipment for medical workers and provide relief to villagers in lockdown. Businesses that sell essentials can register their stores on the Google Pay/Nearby Spot app which provides a customizable branded experience for their business.[2]

gollark: I mean, the explanation I heard was more that degrees are more for signalling that you have some level of ability to do basic intellectual work, and do moderately hard things for long-term payoffs (and other such things) than giving people knowledge they need directly.
gollark: It is claimed that (here, at least) most employers don't particularly care which degree course you do (outside of a few things like engineering or medicine).
gollark: Although I think you also get less flexibility in doing multiple things, which is less nice.
gollark: University here is mostly only 3 years, so those things don't really exist, which is nice.
gollark: Hmm, would you sell all future months separately or just 12 of them once for every year?
