This engineer couple built a Rs.2 crore business after a trip to Bali & quitting their jobs

Mohit Ahluwalia and Jagjyot Kaur started Raamae in 2019, selling quilts, pouches, handbags, and pillow coverings in 60 categories in India and abroad. They found that Indian-made textiles with block printing were more valuable than foreign market items.

Engineers Mohit Ahluwalia and Jagjyot Kaur wanted the perfect Bali vacation in winter 2017. They returned with new ambitions and fond memories. After returning home, they supported artisanal livelihoods and block printing. After leaving their 10-year corporate occupations, they started Raamae in 2019. They sell quilts, pouches, handbags, and pillow coverings in 60 categories in India and abroad.

While shopping in Bali, they noticed that Indian-made textiles with block printing were more valuable, both financially and in consumer regard. Block printing was not associated with this specialty. Bali demanded them, but India didn’t. They found that foreign market items differed in transparency. They detailed the production process and how the purchase will influence many individuals. Craftspeople earn more. The couple was ignorant of Jaipur’s block printing, despite its proximity.
India Return

During their travels, Bali and India had similar chaotic lifestyles. After returning from their vacation, they wanted to learn more about block printing. They researched textile firms and products. In 2018, they visited Jaipur for a two-day block printing workshop with artisans. Three months later, they exhibited quilts and pillow coverings in Delhi. They liked the product’s colors. They only worked with artists on colors and patterns. Craftsmen employ red, yellow, and green. However, traditional prints had subdued, restricted color. People liked traditional but modern items for their interiors. They updated the look for modern buyers.

They also add that customers avoided cheap synthetic hues since they are harmful to humans and the environment. Rusted iron, indigo, and natural colors like turmeric prevent that. They resigned to launch “Raamae” later in 2019. Quilts, cushion covers, bedsheets, pillowcases, baby apparel, accessories, pouches, purses, and tote bags, some made from scrap fabric, were added to the range.

The business that was started from Rs. 4 lakh now makes 18 lakh rupees per month or Rs. 2.16 crore a year. Most orders come from Rajasthan, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mysore, Goa, Kerala, Imphal, Assam, and Mizoram. They serve American and UAE consumers. Raamae receives up to 400 orders every month for its diverse items. Mohit and Jagjyot took risks by starting and developing the company.

X-energy cuts merger deal value by $300 million; Check out details of the deal

X-energy Reactor Co LLC reduced the value of its deal from $2.1 billion to $1.8 billion after announcing plans to go public through a merger with SPAC Ares Acquisition Corp in 2022. This highlights the challenges businesses face when trying to raise finance and defend higher values.X-energy Reactor Co LLC, reduced the value of the deal after announcing its plans to go public through a merger with a blank check company in 2022. The company reduced the value of the deal on Monday from roughly $2.1 billion to $1.8 billion.

The business, which creates fuel technology and tiny modular nuclear reactors for the production of renewable energy, decided to combine with SPAC Ares Acquisition Corp (AAC.N) in December.

A publicly traded shell business known as a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, obtains money with the goal of acquiring a private firm within two years of flotation of its shares. The merger allows the private company to become public.

The businesses stated on Monday that the revised agreement creates “a more appealing entry point for investors.”

X-energy revised certain expenses for its advanced reactor demonstration program in response to rising labor and material costs, rising loan rates, and equipment supply chain restrictions.

The drop in deal value highlights the challenges businesses confront when trying to raise finance and defend higher values in the face of concerns about a global economic slowdown.

Shah Rukh Khan talks about the hardest part of Rajkumar Hirani’s film Dunki

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan held a #AskSRK session on Twitter on Monday, which got his fans very excited. He answered various questions from his devoted fans on the micro-blogging site.

Shah Rukh started the event by tweeting, “Ok, 15 minutes #AskSRK because we all need our 15 minutes of Game…” Fans began asking him questions about all sorts of stuff on his timeline.

SRK answered most of the questions with his normal wit, but he also discussed working on Rajkumar Hirani’s upcoming movie Dunki.

When a fan asked Khan what the hardest part of making Dunki was, he said, “Keeping up with all the great actors in the movie and making the world Raju wanted.”

Someone on Twitter asked, “How is it working with Rajkumar Hirani, sir?” The Bollywood star replied, “Raju is a gentleman, an amazing, awesome director, and very funny!!

After the worldwide success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan is now working on two movies at once: Dunki and Atlee’s Jawan. Jawan is in the post-production stage, while filming for Dunki is still ongoing.

When a fan asked when the makers of Jawan would release the clip, SRK said, “If I tell you, then it won’t be a tease, will it??”

When a fan wrote on his timeline, “Hello @iamsrk sir, what are your plans for the evening?” the star made fun of him by saying, “Was thinking I’d watch Jawaan with Atlee…”

At the end of the session, a Twitter user asked him which was physically harder for him: Dunki or Jawan? “Jawaan has a lot going on,” Khan said.

Walking Vs Treadmill Excercise – Which is better for a healthy heart? 

Walking is a great cardiovascular workout, but treadmills offer convenience, customization, and a safe workout platform. 
Know what experts say about their pros and cons.

Exercise has become crucial than over as  instances of heart disease rise. Walking, especially in parks, is healthy for the heart. It’s a terrific cardiovascular workout that strengthen bones and maintain the heart and vascular system. 

But the big question is: Which is better—a stroll in the park or a treadmill run/walk? Dr. Debashish Chanda, Orthopedics, CK Birla Hospital Gurugram, discussed the advantages and downsides. 

Treadmill Exercise: Pros and Cons

Dr. Debashish Chanda outlines treadmill workout benefits:

1. Convenience: You can do it at home or at the gym, which is the largest benefit. You may workout anytime, anywhere. It’s convenient and unaffected by the outer world.

2. Customization: You may change the pace, inclination, and fitness objectives on the treadmill.

3. measure Your Goals: A treadmill can measure exercise goals, calories burned, heart rate, and more.

4. A Safe Workout Platform: Treadmills offer a smooth walking surface, adjustable inclination, and regulated atmosphere. Treadmills are knee-friendly since you can change the slope.

Treadmill Exercise Disadvantages

1. Boring: Treadmills may get boring. Home or gym, convenience might get boring. 

2. No Fresh Air: Treadmills are indoor exercises, thus there’s no fresh air.

3. costly: Treadmills are costly, especially as personal equipment, costing between Rs 25,000 and lakhs. It requires room, energy, and upkeep.

Dr. Debashish Chanda also listed the pros and downsides of walking:

The Pros

1. Walking in nature is the biggest benefit. You’re refreshed. Walking, especially with others, might be more fun than working out. 

2. Cost-effective: Walking costs nothing, except for excellent shoes. No gym membership or pricey equipment needed. Walk around your apartment, neighborhood park, or roof.

3. Walking is sociable. You may socialize with friends, neighbors, and new acquaintances. Friends might be your biggest incentive.

4. Change Is Constant: Take a different track, start at a different time, and the walk will be fresh.

The Cons:

1. Weather Issues: Since you’re walking outside, bad weather—extreme heat, cold, or rain—can interrupt your timetable.

2. Safety: In India, not everyone has access to walking routes. Walking on the streets is safe here, regardless of the surroundings, roads, or traffic. 

Walking or Treadmill?

Dr. Debashish Chanda concludes that both have merits and downsides. Pulse oximeters, cellphones, and fitness watches allow you to track fitness objectives while walking. The treadmill is slightly better for the elderly. Walking is difficult for elderly adults with joint, back, and osteoporosis because safe walking areas are scarce. If a part is not nearby, a simple treadmill might be a smart purchase.”

Karan Johar Would Have Gone Into Depression If Salman Khan Didn’t Help Him

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may have been a part of some controversies but he is also known as a generous and helpful person. In fact, there are many people who can vouch for Bhai’s helping nature and one of them is famous producer/director Karan Johar. 

In one of the old video clips from Koffee with Karan, KJo revealed that almost every actor including Saif Ali Khan and Chandrachur Singh refused to do the role of Aman in his movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai as it was a second lead role. He further said, “I was almost falling into depression after every horn refused, and the last time I went to Chunky Pandey’s party where I happened to meet Salman, he told him that nobody would do this role; I would do it for you; I respect your father; I narrated Salman the first half of the film, and he said yes; I told him to listen to the second half as you were there then; he agreed to it without even listening to his part.”

Here is the video clip in which you can hear the conversation of Salman Khan and Karan Johar:

It was not the first time that Salman Khan helped someone from the industry, when Chak De India was offered to Bhaijaan by Aditya Chopra, he suggested Shah Rukh’s name because the Wanted actor felt that the movie needed a better actor. 

That was so nice of Salman Khan!

Jeff Bezos bought Amazon share & gifted 69,290; netizens wonder why 

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, made his first stock purchase in the company in 21 years. He also gave 69,290 shares, valued at $8 million, to a charitable organization. 

The third-richest person in the world, Jeff Bezos, who founded  Amazon, did something odd two weeks ago, and since then, everyone from social media users to financial analysts has been asking why.

Jeff Bezos just made his first Amazon stock purchase in 21 years (since 2002), and he also gave 69,290 shares, valued at approximately $8 million, to a charitable organization.

Recent regulatory filings revealed the gifting and single share purchase. This is surprising not just because he only purchased one share, but also since the 59-year-old founder of Amazon is more well-known for his selling skills. Since 2002, he has sold almost $30 billion worth of Amazon shares to pay for his many endeavors, including the rocket business Blue Origin and his $500 million superyacht Koru. 

The majority of Jeff Bezos’ $147 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, comes from his 10% ownership of Amazon, which he has held since the company’s 1997 initial public offering (IPO). Bezos has not received any further stock as compensation since the IPO.

As Amazon shares traded at $124 last Friday, helped by a larger tech boom that propelled the S&P 500 Index into a bull market last week, according to a Bloomberg story, the May 25 stock buy had already made him around $10 wealthier. Shares of Amazon have increased by more than 40% so far this year.
Why The Change Has People Scrambling

Reuters: Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, donates $123 million to assist US homeless families.

Amazon experts and market watchers are baffled by Jeff Bezos’ decision because they are unsure of what to make of the lone Amazon stock buy.

One person speculated that Bezos intended to present the actual certificate as a gift, while others quipped that he must have mistakenly pushed the purchase button on his brokerage account, according to the newspaper. Social media was ablaze with its own set of hypotheses.

Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik made fun of the situation by joking that “he needed one more share to take back control.” (Bezos holds voting authority over the 2.9% share that his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, owns in Amazon and controls 9.7% of the company’s stock.

Like everyone else, Shmulik responded in a serious manner with, “I’m trying to figure out what that was about.” Then there’s the hypothesis that Bezos is emulating Elon Musk. Musk has a history of sometimes purchasing, selling, and gifting Tesla shares.

Do aliens say hello from centre of Milky Way? Know what new study says 

Narrow-frequency pulses from the Milky Way’s center are predicted to provide efficient long-distance communication, thus scientists are listening for extraterrestrial life. A new study suggests that aliens say hello via signals from the Milky Way’s center.

In their most recent effort to find extraterrestrial life, scientists are making a meticulous effort to listen to the radio pulses that are coming from the galactic center.

The idea that intelligent aliens could be hiding at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has changed the course of research into extraterrestrial life.

Narrow-frequency pulses are naturally emitted by stars known as pulsars, but people also purposefully exploit them in technologies like radar.

These pulses are anticipated to be an efficient means of communication at such great distances because they have the capacity to stand out against the background radio noise of space. So, while looking for extraterrestrial civilizations, scientists have thought of them as a decent alternative to listen to.

Academics under Cornell University graduate student Akshay Suresh devised the algorithm and tested it on pulsars famed for their precision in picking up small frequencies.

These frequency ranges are around a tenth of an FM radio station’s. The researchers then searched Green Bank Telescope data.

According to research co-author Vishal Gajjar of the SETI Institute, “Radio SETI has up until now primarily dedicated its efforts to the search for continuous signals.”

He added, “Our research shows the remarkable energy efficiency of a sequence of pulses for interplanetary communication over extraordinarily great distances. Specifically, this work represents the first thorough effort to carry out in-depth searches for these signals.”

Why are researchers concentrating on the Milky Way’s center?

The Milky Way’s core holds many habitable stars and exoplanets, thus researchers are interested in its signals. Intelligent extraterrestrials near the Milky Way’s center who desire to connect with other galaxies may be able to send signals to many worlds.

Study co-author and Breakthrough Listen project scientist Steve Croft, said, “Breakthrough Listen captures enormous volumes of data. Akshay’s technique offers a fresh approach that can assist us in searching that haystack for needles that might offer tantalizing evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life forms.”

Minister says  for us Sam Altman should just be a significant figure in AI 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a significant figure in artificial intelligence. He recently met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss India’s potential and potential benefits of AI.

According to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Sam Altman, the creator of ChatGPT, should not be regarded as more than a significant figure in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). During an interview, the minister discussed Altman’s recent trip to India and the ensuing controversy surrounding the challenges of constructing fundamental large language models within the country.

Sam Altman, a highly accomplished individual, has made significant contributions to OpenAI. He commands respect for his work. He is to be regarded solely as a significant figure in the field of AI. As per sources, the individual in question is unlikely to have the final say on India’s AI aspirations. The individual in question appears to lack a comprehensive understanding of India’s prowess in the field of artificial intelligence. 

According to the speaker, his statements should be accorded due respect. However, it would be unjust to presume that every action or utterance of his is precisely what Indian startups will emulate. According to his statement, there are certain areas where he and Altman will never see eye to eye.

According to the minister, the development of AI is an area that requires the creation of Indian capability. He emphasized that this capability should come from Indian startups and the ecosystem, rather than solely relying on the government of India. There is a possibility that we may collaborate with him on the project.

The Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Tech Mahindra, CP Gurnani, recently shared a video that has sparked controversy. The video features Altman, who can be heard stating that India’s chances of developing a ChatGPT-like tool were “hopeless”.

In response to the tweet, Altman clarified that his statement was taken out of context. According to his elaboration, the response was aimed at tackling the issue of competing with OpenAI through a $10 million investment. According to his statement, competing with OpenAI in this particular instance will prove to be a challenging endeavor.  

During an interview, the minister disclosed that Altman’s discussions with top leaders during his visit to India centered around his understanding of India’s potential. According to his statement, there will be numerous prospects for collaboration between the Indian government and startups in the coming times.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the country. Altman took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the meeting, stating that he had a “great conversation” with Modi regarding India’s impressive tech ecosystem and the potential benefits of artificial intelligence for the country. He expressed great satisfaction with their meetings with individuals at the @PMOIndia.
