Inspiring story of rickshaw driver’s son who got admission at IIM Ahmedabad

Dreams really do come true. Laxmikanth Reddy, the son of an autorickshaw driver, realized his father’s goal by gaining admission to IIM Ahmedabad.

When Laxmikanth Reddy’s father used to drop off students at convent schools in his autorickshaw, he dreamed of sending his son to a convent school and entering the corporate world. Today, the father’s hope came true as his kid was accepted into IIM Ahmedabad for a PGPX programme. He obtained this position at IIM Ahmedabad because to his determination and tenacity, and he has set an example for many future hopefuls.

Laxmikanth Reddy is a Telangana native from Godavarikhani. He is from a low and basic farming background. Because farming was unprofitable, his father took up driving an autorickshaw, but he soon quit owing to his disability.

Laxmikanth’s life was not a joyful one before gaining admission to IIM Ahmedabad. He attended a Telugu medium school until the seventh grade. Following that, his father gathered money to transport him to a convent school, where he had previously dropped off other children.

Laxmikanth then attends the convent school from 8th to 10th grade.

Following that, he received a scholarship to study science in junior college. He was later awarded a scholarship at the Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology. In 2016, he received his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. During this time, his father became ill, and Laxmikant Reddy was forced to conduct tutoring and rely on the generosity of his community to support his daily needs.

He was hired by a software development business in Hyderabad in 2019. During this period, he also co-founded a company with his buddies to promote terrace gardening and farming. When everything looked to be going well, COVID struck, putting an end to his plans to study management.

His desire never wavered; in fact, it increased, and he studied hard in 2020 to pass the CAT – Common Admission Test in 2021. For him, it was a dream come true. He is now an MBA student at IIM Ahmedabad. Laxmikanth Reddy plans to purchase a home for his parents after completing his PGPX at IIM Ahmedabad in 2023.

His appreciation for his parents is admirable, since they were the ones who instilled in him the desire to succeed and support their education. In this journey, his parents, sister, and community are pillars of support.

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad is one of the country’s most diverse business schools. It has paved the way for many young pupils who are now prospering.

Laxmiknath Reddy hopes to gain an enormous amount of information and expertise at IIM Ahmedabad and get a high-paying profession to assist his family and realize his unspoken goals. Laxmikanth has previously had little luck with money on this voyage. However, with his acceptance of admission to IIM Ahmedabad, he has the opportunity to alter himself and his family’s fortunes.

Laxmikanth Reddy wants to be a business owner. Getting into IIM Ahmedabad’s business school is like a door opening for him to realize his aspirations and enter the corporate sphere, as his father had desired for him.

5 tips to getting rich in the next 5 years

There’s no shortcut to getting rich quick and it takes time to becoming wealthy. Find out 5 tips to getting rich in the next 5 years.

You’ve probably heard that getting rich quickly won’t work in most cases unless you win the lottery or inherit a large chunk of money. However, if you are seeking to create your own wealth, anything that appears too good to be true is most likely genuine.

On the other hand, if you want to build genuine, long-term wealth, you must follow a precise strategy with clearly defined phases. Of course, you must then carry out those steps.

To put it another way, merely desiring to be wealthy is inadequate. You won’t be able to go forward or, worse, backward until you take specific steps to help you achieve your goals. Fortunately, our experts have provided their best wealth-building ideas, which you can implement now.

Here are 5 tips to getting rich in the next 5 years:

1. Understand Where Your Money Is Going

The first step in developing an effective financial plan is to understand where your money is going. It may be difficult to put your money to better use if you don’t know where it is going.

Normally, this phase would include creating a budget, but Mark Wilson, founder and president of MILE Wealth Management, believes otherwise. He said, “I’m only suggesting (roughly) to classify your expenditure items.” Instead of recording each line item, he suggests creating Owe, Grow, Give, and Live categories.

Wilson provided examples of what each category may include: Wilson advocates dedicating a certain amount of your money to each area, such as 25% Owe, 10% Grow, 5% Give, and 60% Live. You may change the percentages to reflect how you spend your money, but each area is crucial.

2. Educate Yourself Financially

The extent to which formal education and training in finance are inadequate is likely underappreciated. Everyone has to know how to handle their money, but many individuals learn the hard way, only when they find themselves in dire financial circumstances.

Lyle David Solomon, principal attorney at Oak View Law Group, suggests learning about many parts of finance, such as how to improve your credit score and how to analyze profit and loss accounts.

3. Pay Off Debts

After determining where your money is going, your next move should be to actively pay down debt. Debt, in many circumstances, merely drags individuals down and provides little continuous benefit.

Laurie Itkin, financial adviser and wealth manager at Coastwise Capital, said, “Rich individuals borrow money only if there is a possibility to make more than they would repay on the debt.”

4. Have many income streams

The conventional way to financing one’s costs is to obtain work – that is, to have a single source of income. But it is rarely, if ever, the case for individuals who can amass significant money.

Having several income streams not only enhances your earning potential but also avoids the chance of losing all of your money if you are laid off.

“The vast majority of millionaires have many streams of income,” Solomon remarked.

He emphasizes the consistent flow of revenue provided by many income streams. “If one river is disrupted, you still have other streams streaming in. In other words, you should have more than a single source of income,” he explained.

5. Expand Your ‘Grow’ Category

After you’ve completed the previous categories, it’s time to start accumulating riches. This is related to Wilson’s categories and the Grow area. He went into further depth on Grow, though, because there are other approaches to wealth creation.

Wilson noted, “Increasing your contribution to a company-sponsored 401(k) plan or automating monthly contributions to a Roth IRA are great ways to do this.” Put half of your salary into your Grow percentage and enjoy the other half. This step has two benefits: it increases your retirement nest fund and, more crucially, it reduces your expenditure, so you won’t need to save as much overall. Another method to grow your Grow category is to dedicate a portion of every extra paycheck to savings — example, 10% of gift checks from Uncle Gerry at Christmas and 10% of your bonus.The earlier you invest, the more powerful compound interest becomes.”

LIC IPO expected to deliver mild listing gains

Life Insurance Corporation’s (LIC) initial public offering (IPO) is still attracting retail investors. The issue is receiving positive feedback and is likely to result in mild listing gains.

Life Insurance Corporation’s (LIC) initial public offering (IPO) continues to attract retail investors, including workers and policyholders, who are among the top bidders for the issue thus far. LIC remains appealing despite dropping premiums in the grey market, an extreme selloff in global markets, rate rise concerns, and inflationary concerns.

According to the majority of market analysts, LIC is a long-term play, and investors should bid for the issue based on their money and risk tolerance. However, one should not wager on issues just for the sake of listing profits.

According to VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, listing gains in LIC are conceivable because valuation is favourable. Vijayakumar said the medium-term prospects are similarly favorable.

Religare Broking, VP Research, Ajit Mishra, agreed and stated that huge issues are not for listing gains. Long-term investments should be made in solid firms, and LIC is one of them.

Mishra added, “If their funds allow it, investors should go all in on the issue, notwithstanding market pessimism, because values favor the insurance behemoth.”

The government has assigned a value of Rs 6 lakh crore to LIC, which is 1.12 times its embedded value (EV) of Rs 5.4 lakh crore.

Embedded value is a measure of an insurance company’s consolidated shareholders’ worth.

According to Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart, the values of LIC are lower than those of its public counterparts.

“Investors must recognize that insurance is a long-term industry, and this issue is only a long-term play.”

Other analysts, however, are doubtful about the issue owing to present market conditions and the company’s poor profitability, which may reduce its appeal in comparison to peers.

According to analysts, the broader markets are experiencing a much-needed healthy correction, and investors should try to purchase the dips. The danger, though, is that the present cycle of correction is not done.

Some analysts warn investors to be wary of the LIC issue. They argue that given the current market attitude, investors should not go all guns blazing. One should subscribe to the issue based on their risk tolerance.

According to Astha Jain, Senior Research Analyst at Hem Securities, the issue is receiving positive feedback and is projected to produce modest listing gains. However, investors should temper their expectations in the face of the ongoing slump.

“We encourage that investors bid for LIC, but keep in mind their risk tolerance because market conditions are not as tempting as they were earlier.”

Previously, the government was anticipated to value the insurance behemoth at Rs 12 to 13 lakh crore, but global volatility hampered those plans.

On the condition of anonymity, a fund manager stated that LIC can only benefit investors if the business focuses on profitability.

He continued, “The government must sell its remaining interest, which may be a difficult challenge if profitability does not improve. However, if the data come in on the positive side, the street may be ready to offer it a premium price above rivals.”

Meet the college student who built Rs 10 cr cosmetic brand from Rs 200

A Tamil Nadu undergraduate student has created a cosmetic and skincare brand worth Rs 56 lakh. Surya Varshan founded Naked Nature from his house, formulating products in their kitchen.

Surya Varshan, a 21-year-old undergraduate student in the historic city of Madurai in south Tamil Nadu, where the ancient Tamils had a booming commerce with Rome and Greece, has developed a cosmetic and skincare company with a current revenue of Rs 56 lakh and a valuation of Rs 10 crore. Surya left civil engineering in his second year and is presently in his last year of BSc Biotechnology at Thiagarajar College in Madurai.

Women account for around 65 percent of our clientele. We have clients from all over the world “Surya, the proprietorship firm’s founder, states

“Overall, around 30% of our consumers are from North India, 20% from the Middle East, another 20% from Malaysia and Singapore, and the remainder from other areas of the world.”

Naked Nature is a direct-to-consumer business that sells 47 different goods, including bath products, skin and hair care, lip and eye care, teeth care, infant care, and incense sticks and cones.

Surya began with Rs 200, which he had saved from pocket money given to him by his parents while he was in Class 12.

Surya explains, “My first product was bath salt, which was beneficial to the skin. I made it with Dead Sea salt that I bought in Mumbai and flower extracts,”

His mother is from the Thoothukudi area, which is known for its salt pans.

Surya, who has always been interested in business, says, “So I was aware of the advantages of salt and came up with the concept of creating bath salt. I, too, aspired to create a business and provide employment for others from an early age.”

The family lives in a 600-square-foot bungalow in Madurai’s Sandhaipettai, where he began his company, preparing product formulas in the kitchen and drying them on the terrace.

When he was in Class 12, he began experimenting with bath salt. “By the time we took our Class 12 board test, the product was finished. I had 12 of these jars in the initial batch and tried to sell them in stores, but no one was interested. It was quite difficult to market the items.”

Surya enrolled in the BE Civil Engineering program at Jeppiar Engineering College in Chennai, roughly 465 kilometers from Madurai, in 2017. But he didn’t give up on his business idea and would go to Madurai every weekend to work on it, producing the items and visiting businesses to sell them.

He planned to leave Chennai on Friday night and travel to Madurai on Sunday night in order to attend college on Monday morning. During this time, he was continually brainstorming new methods to promote his items.

Recounting his most frustrating experience since starting his firm, Surya recalls, “One day I had an idea. However, none of them replied positively, and I was unable to make a single sale. I was heartbroken.”

He has received several insults when visiting establishments to advertise his items. But he didn’t give up and instead proceeded to call physicians in Madurai.

An ayurvedic doctor purchased one container of bath salt for her elderly parents who were suffering from joint discomfort. She phoned Surya a week later and requested him to furnish six jars every week.

Surya gained confidence in his items’ marketability after the initial breakthrough. He persuaded his parents to move him to Velammal Engineering College in Madurai, where he completed his BE Civil Engineering degree in the second year.

He was able to focus more on his company when his father gave him a Royal Enfield Bullet.

At one point, he realized that selling online would be a better alternative since no one would know the owner is a college student, and no one would buy his things on credit, as the businesses had been doing – postponing payments by three months.

He also recognized that in order to launch an internet business, he needed additional items, and he couldn’t start with only one. He needed money to spend in R&D and develop new items. Through You Tube and Facebook, I learnt about internet advertising and digital marketing.

Revealing how he obtained funds to extend his product offering, Surya explains, “Then I began taking online classes on similar topics, charging Rs 400 for a couple of three-hour sessions. I taught them through Zoom and even built ecommerce websites for a few companies.”Through these endeavors, I made around Rs 2.20 lakh, which I invested in manufacturing new things to sell online.”

In 2019, he left Vellammal College to pursue BSC Biotechnology at Thiagarajar College, which was more relevant to his work.

Surya is presently an incubatee at Crescent Innovation & Incubation Council (CIIC), Chennai, where his business has been valued at Rs 10 crore. To help him grow his firm, CIIC has granted him a grant of Rs 30 lakh, which will be paid out in installments.

Today, Naked Nature sells 47 items ranging from Rs 150 (Hibiscus Bath Soap) to Rs 400 (Manjistha Face Toner), and the firm made Rs 56 lakh in revenue during fiscal year 2021-22.

Surya has established an 800 square foot manufacturing plant in Annupanadi, Madurai, and already employs six people. Their goods are also sold in nine outlets in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.

Surya concluded, “We are completely debt-free, and you could say I started this firm with only Rs 200. I am reinvesting every penny we earn in the business.”

Crypto exchange company CoinDCX has launched a new investment subsidiary. The new arm, called CoinDCX Ventures, plans to deploy Rs. 100 crore to fast-track Web3 ecosystems..

CoinDCX, the crypto exchange unicorn, launched CoinDCX Ventures on Tuesday to fund early-stage crypto and blockchain entrepreneurs in India. It intends to invest INR 100 crore to accelerate Web3 ecosystems.

CoinDCX Ventures has already invested in companies like as Spheron, Taki, EPNS, Liminal, meta ENGINE, Router Protocol, and Syndr.

The crypto exchange stated in a statement that its investments in the segment include a wallet solution, cross chain bridge protocol, Web3 notification protocol, Web3 social engine, and distributed storage and computing protocol.

To oversee CoinDCX Ventures, the crypto startup has engaged Rohit Jain as senior VP and head of ventures. Prior to this, he worked for companies such as Myntra and McKinsey.

CoinDCX is also interested in acquiring companies that will bring value to its main business.

Jain said, “For acquisitions, we have a distinct source of funds.”

CoinDCX CEO and co-founder Sumit Gupta said, “Having worked directly with venture capitalists in the field, we understand the value and relevance of such assistance.”

CoinDCX raised more than $135 million (INR 1,000 crore) in a Series D fundraising round last month.

With this round of funding, its valuation increased to $2.15 billion, becoming it the country’s most valuable crypto business.

CoinDCX stated at the time that it will continue to focus on education, innovation, and compliance with incoming funding.

The unicorn also stated that it intends to treble its talent pool to around 1,000 people by the end of 2022 in order to cultivate local talent through various outreach programs, research efforts, and strategic investments.

CoinDCX, founded in 2018 by Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, claims to have over 12.5 million users. It runs CoinDCX Go, a cryptocurrency investing app, CoinDCX Pro, a professional trading platform, and DCX Learn, a crypto-centric investor education platform.

In August of last year, the crypto exchange became India’s first crypto unicorn, collecting $90 million in a Series C fundraising round headed by Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin’s B Capital Group, as well as Coinbase Ventures, Polychain Capital, Block.one, and Jump Capital.

It is in competition with CoinSwitch, Kuber, Signzy, and WazirX, among others.

Meet Dr. Sosamma Iype who won Padma Shri for conserving vechur cattle breed

Padma Shri recipient Dr. Sosamma Iype of Kerala has been at the forefront of efforts to save the vechur cow. She has been bestowed with the Padma Shri for reviving the cattle breed from brink of extinction.

In the 1980s, the Vechur cattle, an unique and indigenous species that is regarded one of the tiniest in the world, were on the verge of extinction.

The cow, named after the hamlet Vechoor in Kerala’s Kottayam district, is recognized for its excellent milk output and therapeutic properties.

The cows also require less feed and upkeep.

Dr Sosamma Iype says, “In the 1960s, the state government changed the cow breeding program to increase milk output,”

Following that, there was a significant cross-breeding of local cattle with alien bull kinds. This reduced the number of native types, such as Vechur cows, to the point of extinction.

Dr. Sosamma has been at the vanguard of vechur cow conservation since the 1980s.

The 80-year-old retired professor from Kerala Veterinary and Animal Science University, Thrissur, was awarded the Padma Shri for her tireless efforts in rescuing the breed from extinction and boosting its number.

Dr. Sosamma teamed up with a few university students to undertake a hunt for this native breed, realizing the importance of preserving the last accessible specimen.

Dr. Sosamma says, “We began an extended search for vechur cows in 1989, after a number of my university classmates approached me about it.”

Over the years, around 15 – 20 students actively participated in the hunt.

Dr. Sosamma says her pupils would often enlist the help of their relatives to locate the cows in their separate hometowns.

She says, “Our objective was to rescue this breed and return it to farmers. The search was largely concentrated in the southern districts of Kottayam and Alappuzha.”  And it took Dr. Sosamma and her colleagues a long time to find even one vechur cow.

She continues, “We finally discovered our first cow thanks to a farmer named Manoharan. The university allocated Rs 65,000 for our program, which we utilised to purchase and care for the cows.”

Dr. Sosamma says they gradually began to find additional cattle, and had around 24 vechur cows, within 12 months

These were then preserved and cared for at the farm at Mannuthy’s agricultural university.

“Our initial objective was to get the cows to breed and thereby increase their population. It wasn’t easy,” adds Dr. Sosamma, who faced various obstacles along the way.

She elaborates, “The initiative was without the government’s approval as the state had prohibited the cross breeding of cows. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) did, however, eventually acknowledge vechur cows as an indigenous bovine breed.

Sosamma Iype goes on to say that there was another problem with the vechur cows.

She says, “In 1998, an environmentalist alleged that Scotland’s Roslin Institute had trademarked the DNA of the vechur cow breed. This caused quite a commotion in the Indian scholarly community. There was a lot of opposition to our efforts to save them.”

However, after two years of inquiry, the assertion was proven to be false.

She says, “In 1998, we established the Vechur Conservation Trust to promote support and engagement from farmers as well as scholars. The  Vechur Conservation Trust currently helps farmers by providing vechur cow germplasm, particularly sperm from purebred bulls. There were additional cattle breeding and research initiatives. In Kerala and elsewhere in the country, there are already over 5,000 vechur cows.”

Dr. Sosamma has earned several awards from organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) (UNDP).

She is active and collaborates with the Vechur Conservation Trust.

Dr. Sosamma Iype stated, “I didn’t anticipate this honor, and I’m incredibly glad to have earned it.”    

Meet the woman who is reinventing India’s ancient grains through OGMO Foods

A Chennai woman is on a quest to revitalize ancient grains. Sanjeeta KK’s startup, OGMO Foods, makes ready-to-eat breakfast and snack mixes from minor millets and mappillai samba red rice.

Everyone wishes to have a corporate career with a large salary and a good work-life balance. However, some, such as Sanjeeta KK, founder of Chennai-based OGMO Foods, believe otherwise.

Sanjeeta, 52, had to leave her well-paying corporate career due to a medical issue and was compelled to take a 10-year hiatus. During the vacation, she decided to turn her passion for cuisine into a full-time job.

Sanjeeta explains, “I started my new path with a food blog called ‘Lite Bite,’ which provided me a lot of options going ahead. I experimented with innovative food styling while developing new recipes for my blog. Since then, I’ve worked on various prominent companies and television ads.”

Her route to a new job as a food stylist was not simple, as Sanjeeta says she practiced caution while taking on major undertakings.

“But as I gained expertise, I got more confident, and above all, it made me happy,” she continues.

Her experience as a food blogger and stylist inspired her to launch her own business.  Sanjeeta says she always wanted to establish something unique that will be good for the society.

“That tremendous desire to make a difference drove me to create OGMO Foods, which specializes in value-added healthy food products,” Sanjeeta explains.

OGMO stands for Organic Move, and the brand was launched in 2018 in an effort to bring some of the lost ancient grains back to the table.

Sanjeeta, who had a strong desire to eat properly and cook with locally produced veggies and superfoods, wanted to incorporate her healthy eating philosophy into her company.

Sanjeeta describes her notion as a start-up with the purpose of generating unique culinary items that will benefit the community.

She says, “We founded OGMO to share our enthusiasm for healthy eating through plant-based food products. We’re also on a quest to bring some of our lost indigenous grains back into the mainstream.”

Minor millets, such as small millet, barnyard millet, and foxtail millet, are used in OGMO’s ready-to-eat breakfast and snack mixes. According to Sanjeeta, minor millets are traditional grains that are both healthy and gluten-free.

“They are a lost group of grains that were widely farmed and eaten in ancient times.”

In addition, unlike rice and wheat crops, which require a lot of soil fertility, water, and fertilizers, millets grow well in arid areas.

“However, lengthier cooking times, a lack of value-addition, and a lack of marketing assistance led to a fall in millet consumption,” she says.

“These millets are alkaline in nature and anti acidic,” explains Sanjeeta.

They are also beneficial in treating red blood cells and avoiding Type 2 diabetes.

Their goods are manufactured from whole grains and are lightly processed, with no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors.

Aside from minor millets, OGMO Foods also sells items manufactured from an ancient grain known as ‘Mapppillai samba red rice.’

Mapppillai samba rice is a red rice varietal found solely in Tamil Nadu.

OGMO’s goods include munchies made from minor millets, several types of granola mixes, idli and dosa premixes made from minor millets and Mappillai samba rice, health mixes, and energy bars.

According to Sanjeeta, OGMO’s overnight millet is the first of its type in the world. The company also sells whole grains and flours made from millets, and mappillai samba rice.

She says, “In addition, we just introduced a line of food for children called OGMO Foods Jr.”

Sanjeeta obtains millets from a tiny agricultural community in a sleepy area near Cheyyur, Tamil Nadu.

Aside from creating nutritious value-added goods, we’ve been on a quest to help the local farmers who grow these grains.

“In addition, we are lucky to have been able to provide employment possibilities for rural women at our factory and vegetable farm “Sanjeeta adds.

“Being an entrepreneur has its own set of problems,” she adds, while speaking about the difficulties.

Krishnakumar, Sanjeeta’s husband, who has worked as an IT consultant for over 25 years, supervises the company’s operations and production.

Sanjeeta KK expresses gratitude for having a great network of family and friends that support her.

She says, “My spouse is my rock, and my two children have always been there to cheer me on. My father, a doctor and a social worker, had a significant effect on me. I am following his concept of making a difference in the lives of people by doing something beneficial to society.”
