At Straive, there’s another Anand Subramanian who gets my emails and I get his emails. Name confusion - despite my last name being listed as “S”, not “Subramanian”.
Day-before, we had a double confusion. Pallavi Gupta messaged the other Anand Subramanian who replied to a different Pallavi Gupta connecting me. Like The Comedy of Errors.
Out of curiosity, I asked an AI agent to find all duplicate first + last names on Darwinbox.
The agent said I found only one exact “Anand Subramanian” in first_name / last_name, but there are 5 “Anand S” records, including likely you:
| Name | Designation | City |
|---|---|---|
| Anand S | Chief Executive Officer | Bangalore |
| Anand S | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Anand S | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Anand S | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Anand S | Senior Executive | Trichy |
Hello, other “Anand S” people! Welcome to the confusion.
But I’m not the only one with this problem. The worst affected is “Ramya R”:
| Name | Designation | City |
|---|---|---|
| Ramya R | Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Executive | Trichy |
| Ramya R | Junior Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Senior Executive | Chennai |
| Ramya R | Senior Manager | Chennai |
There are also 8 “Saravanan K”, 8 “Suganya S”, 8 “Surash S”, 7 “Anh Nguyen”, 7 “Huong Nguyen”, 7 “Mahalakshmi S”, 7 “Raja S”, …
And I thought I had a common name!
