Direct Taxes for Startups @ IIM

I was rather surprised at the rather the simplicity by which the session took place. Although I would say that it was not lesser than a crash course into understanding Direct Taxes but really an idea opener.

Like consider the idea of crowd sourcing funds for your startups, wherein the money invested by each person is very low but with the right number, one can generate enough funds to work around the whole gestation period. In thought, it sounds very great but as Prof Sridhar puts it forward, quite straight on the face that the idea in principal is of banking and hence, it will require licensees of the same nature by the RBI and SEBI before you jump into it. What you are intending to do in crowding sourcing funds, is nothing less than taking money from people and using it to pay them 'interest' or 'dividends'.

His quick advises on financials for any startups were a super relievers, I have no words to explain the relief I have to know that I attended the session, the multiple number of traps and compliance issues that could potentially now can be avoided. Like he said, we don't really needed to be an expert to know our way around things, we just need to know enough.

This is not right.

The most important gift that I have received from all the fields that I have ever put my feet into is design. It gave me that feeling that no other field gives me. To sum it up, its this. This is not right. Bold. Italics . Underline. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. This feeling has taken me a longer way than any other. I try thinking into the deeper meaning of things and I feel every subject sort of gives you this one question that you pursue and make a career into. My managements brothers tell me, this is not managed right. My fashion friends tell me, this doesn't look right. But my design friends tell me, this is not right. Or maybe even, this is not designed right. Till some decades back, this is not designed right meant aesthetics. But now, it just more than just that. And when it left the threshold of my thoughts, and I couldn't tolerate more of this, I ended up doing something I thought I would never do. I started up. This is my experimentation ground. This is where I think th...

Boston Blast

The media always plays itself to get the most TRP. The game is always been that. I often think that its not for us to decide what is more a loss but its quite apparent in the numbers that Boston is nothing compared to the massacre that was done at Palestine, Iraq and the likes. I wonder not what the media does, I often worry only on why us, the citizens of the world don't see the truth more often.
