"the one that blue tick twitter accounts living in certain pin codes of Bengaluru passionately discuss amongst themselves for a week every year"

To someone embarrassingly unfamiliar with Indian culture, what does it mean?

Bengaluru/Bangalore has hotspots (PIN codes are postal address codes) where there are lots of startups, mostly in ecommerce, ad-tech, online education etc. and they have incentive to upsell you a lot.

I guess its referring to someone wannabe influencer buying Twitter(X) premium and posting based on half baked info on customers.

Mostly sarcasm, so take with a grain of salt. I can't tell about accuracy, but explaining the cultural context here.

Thanks, this is helpful. Is the certain week referring to a specific festival?

I don't know, sounds like any week.

presumably the report comes out every year and it's discussed for some time after that
