Awesome article to get insights into Financial of start up ecosystem.

A Founder's Notebook

Edited excerpt from Why communicate more with your existing investors (and how to do it efficiently) by Armandi Biondi:

There are two key benefits to sending your investors a monthly recap: a) you’ll give them a broad-enough but meaningful-enough perspective on what’s happening, b) you’ll give yourself a forcing function to generate relevant results in a reasonable amount of time. Here’s how:

• Short & sweet always win.
• Be numbers-oriented. How did your key metrics perform compared to the last month figure and the overall total? Where do you expect to go a month and a quarter from now? Those are the only things that matter.
• Think actionable. Write about what you did and how it generated impact on the company, and what you’re going to focus on in the next 4 weeks.
• Design matters. Use bullet points, divide the topics by area (I use five: product/tech, sales/clients, funds/corporate, press/pr, team/hr), leave some…

First page Advertisements: Surprise and Surmise of Journalism August 11, 2015

Front Paper News Headlines were used to be an element of surprise and surmise. Gone are the days when over a cup of tea and coffee we used to wait eagerly for news papers, spend time with family members, children and elders. Discussing with them politics, market, society, crime, neighbor hood gossips. The good old days, nostalgic memories are hard to revive back. The charm of reading headlines have gone due to the paradigm shift in printing full front page advertisements instead of “positive” front page headlines. Morality journalism address have been shifted to the graveyard, What rules now is paid media journalism, crony capitalism, political affinity and how we can forget advertisements. If we go by stats, In my view approximate 60% of print area of news paper is covered with  Advertisement where e-commerce firms, political parties, corporate agenda and meager space left for citizen welfare, government schemes. Standard Journalism is left only with few editorials being published, these editorials shapes the thoughts, actions and view points of our youth but this space is crowned with trust deficit. Its absolutely flabbergasting to observe how news paper purpose has shifted from telling, spreading effective news to informing about products through advertisements. News Papers rules the print media space, If this lobby have good intention to shape our youth minds with positive news content, value system then it would be absolutely wonderful of finding our youth, children and adult in creating community value system. But the shame reality is from what I observe I don’t see this happening, not now nor in near future. On certain occasion I was privileged to get access to polyglot news papers from Japan, Israel, South Korea, Singapore, US, Canada and India. The biggest trend I observed  in terms of the charm of reading front page headlines , Indian news papers are filled with hate, violence, critical voice and notes, meaningless statistics, where as Front page of mentioned countries were mind boggling, to start with content which is positive in nature, Imagine reading positive content, the power of positive thoughts{Reading is the food for thought, Which means good reading good thoughts, Bad reading, Bad thoughts} shape and set your day  on positive line. Hatred, violence, lobbying is given page 2/3 status. Art, culture, language, Humanity, Science, Technology  & Engineering makes lots of positive news but only once in a while these content is given a space on front page.    

Pot-Shots: FlipKart vs SnapDeal

With  market sentiments moving from pure social economy towards consumerism which is central to capitalist market, free market and free trade policy. This is good for Industries particularly Infrastructure, Telecom, e-commerce and manufacturing, But absolutely bad for farmer, people with low disposable incomes.

In the whole pyramid farmer should be put first but this is unfortunate in India and other developing countries we put our farmers at the bottom of pyramid. At the end we have to eat food, when there is no producer of food then what is the meaning of education, Land, economy, These all word cloud becomes  meaningless, shaking altogether the unwavering and unparalleled faith of 7 billion people of humanity just to satisfy the need of scores of people with high income, These 4% of population high net worth individuals controls the more than 90% of world’s total money. I wish there should be more equitable economic, macroeconomic financial models should be invented/evolved by concerned well learned economists, bureaucrats, politicians, Ambassadors, Intellectual thinkers, entrepreneurs. It will be absolutely wonderful to see observe the getting faith of 7 billion people restored with news papers as an agent of change by inculcating the power of news content positive in nature, building the value system of our citizens in general and children, youth in particular. Value system is central to build the self belief at the level of individual, community, patriotic citizens and nation. News paper have lion’s shares in print media, it should think about creating positive ecosystem by putting sovereignty over self interest profits in creating mark among the people.

Respect for Teaching Community in India: Falling Standards January 19, 2015

I would like to say this in the words of newly recruited professor Mr. Brijesh Kumar { http://brijeshkumar.com/ }

Ah, how the times have changed. One of the IIT Bombay students just said to me on Quora, that you are just an assistant professor because you could get nothing else. It is just not that one person, this thinking is quite representative of how many other students in IIT think. Alas, how the times have changed?
It was not very long ago, that I was studying in IIT Delhi. I never heard a single student speak like this about a teacher during my four years of stay there. “He is JUST an assistant professor.” I graduated about 7 years ago and so much change. Such disrespect amongst the students towards their teachers.

Let us say that even if the premise were true, that he could not get anything else other than a professor position at IIT, what can you learn from him, if you have that attitude towards your professor. And, you may think it is trivial to get a position as assistant professor at IIT, believe me it is not that easy. Every year, departments get applications in 100s and only 1 or 2 get selected. But, this is besides the point that I am trying to make. If you want to learn something, there should a basic level of respect towards the teacher and if there is a feeling of contempt, you can learn nothing from the teacher.

Falling Standards of Education and Respect for Teachers as well

My feeling about this change in attitude of students in recent years is because the students no longer come to IITs to study, they come to get their fat pay packages. They are so shallow that they count everything in terms of money. They have no higher purpose in life other than to make money. I don’t know why IITs promote the pay packages in newspapers, all it does is increase the intake of such low quality students in IITs, who have nothing other than money making in their minds.

In all honesty, running after money is not very glorious. Unfortunately, our society is running after money and anyone who does not do that is considered a loser. I am one such loser. I am JUST an assistant professor.
