An individual reacted to the post by saying “Mahindra n Mahindra too got stalled?”

“Good reminder that technology has a breaking point, too.” Another added.

“This outage highlights our heavy reliance on a handful of companies. It's a real concern and a wake-up call for the world to develop alternatives for every critical service. Diversification is key to resilience,” added a third.
