 For a while we have been facing a problem to acquire funding through government grant. There is a great initiative by the Government of India to support our startup ecosystem by means of funding. One such initiative is SISFS (Startup India Seed Fund Scheme). We were rejected multiple times by the incubators. Upon close inspection of the cause of rejection (this is very important in any venture) I found out that  "there is a need to draw a clear line between incubator and accelerator. Accelerators are programmes run by investment agencies to provide investment to already established and settled startups for their expansion or development. Incubators on the other hand are agencies that support startups during their very initial phase." Really hoping to secure funding for our incubation this season.

One news that caught everyone's attention in the past week, was also the one which left its audience with more questions than it answered. .The news has been mis interpreted, commented on, a subject of criticism for the week The news published by Dainik Bhaskar is quite comprehensive and does a good job of explaining the tax. According to this, "If a car is sold on profit after depreciation, then the seller is liable to pay GST on that profit." So first of all this is applicable only for cars that are registered in a firm's name with GST registration . Next, GST is applicable on profit after depreciation of car's value . For example, if I purchased a car in 2024 for 6 lacs in my GST registered firm's name. After 5 years of using it and booking depreciation in my firm's ledger at 10% per annum. The book value of car after 5 years will be, 2,95,245/- INR. So if I sell my car at 3 lac rupees. The 18% GST is applicable on the profit margin that is - INR 4755/-...

Apologies in advance for spoilers! "Seeti Maar" One of the best movies. When a project is given proper time and efforts in every aspect of it, it definitely shows in the end product. The story of Murlikant Petkar Sir is inspirational and was worth watching on big screen. Infact his legend is so big that even the movie could not capture it due to time limitation. I highly recommend you to read his complete achievements on his website (Link at the end). The research team did a great job in unraveling his legend. Kartik Aryan did a great job not only by marking his presence on screen but by making a contact with the audience, forcing them to feel his pain, patriotism, passion. All the other actors did the same. Even the poster is captivating. Camera work mind blowing in many scenes like border fight. For comparison, another movie was released within a month. Sarfira. Both features the story of a guy who was losing all his life because of destiny, because of reasons beyond his co...

 It goes both ways! Time tested saying is that "A penny saved is a penny earned." To give you a context, there is another old story. Once upon a time there was a Halwai (confectioner) in a land far far away. He was very famous for his kachoris . People from distant places would come and visit to taste his tasty, spicy kachoris . All his life as far as he could remember he was working in his shop. Making a brand of his own. He had sent his son to study MBA in a top college in big city. With degree in his hand the son returned. One day the Halwai saw his son thinking about something very deeply with his head buried in his hands. The Halwai asks his son, "Kid,What is the matter?" The son replies, "Dad, When I was doing my MBA. I got connected to the bigger picture of the market." Halwai was happy, "That is great. But why the long face." Son, "Dad, but the world's market is going to go downwards any time now. We need to start saving before t...

 I don't know why girls have to survive so much. Right from birth they are burdened with tasks that they have to do. Naturally for periods. No option. Ear piercing. At least that could have been optional. But no! Sitting at a jewelry, I saw across the road there was a piercing shop. Uncle was trying to pierce the ear of a little girl. Her parents held her tight. She was crying, shrieking. Her brother (he was little too) sat sad, feeling helpless, unable to comprehend what was happening, why it was happening. On the verge of crying, he tried to help his sister, but his family restrained him too. It is common. Everybody does it. WE HAD DONE PIERCING TOO! It is for your own benefit. Later on, it will hurt even more if we do not do it now. I scavenged the Internet to find at least some logical reason for body piercing. Aside from the little boy, the girl another thing to notice in the scene is their family. They were woman too. Which means at some point in their own life they had gone ...

 Let's settle this debate once and for all. A long running thought experiment or puzzle or paradox still holds. It has given rise to many books, TV serial episodes, movies and what not. The question is as intriguing as it is simple, "What if all of this is a simulation, like a computer game and we just don't know it?" Every advancement in IT right from the beginning has fueled this enigma. H2G2, Is the entire earth a giant computer? TRON, there is an entire world like ours inside computer systems. Are we a part of some computer system too? Matrix: The entire world is a giant simulation to keep humanity trapped. Existenz: A virtual game within a virtual game... where does it stop? The thirteenth floor: They literally lose track of simulation, kind of like father of inception. Inception: Same concept applied to dream world. Dark City: Some might say it is the seed out of which Matrix spawned. All the people are locked in a simulation to study humanity. These are some of...
