‘Hi welcome to Sky thank you for using our live chat service. You’re chatting with Stalin. How can I help you today?’
And it prompted some entertaining – and informative – exchanges online.
Is he trying to sign you up to… a five-year plan?

why have they named it Stalin?
— Tom Peck (@tompeck) August 14, 2018
He's probably from Kerala, where Communists have been electorally successful, and Stalin and Lenin are popular names…

It's not uncommon elsewhere in India (MK Stalin is a prominent Tamil Nadu politician).
