Towards a purposeful life - I

Don't have illusions. 
No business is easy to start. "If I get into this space, raw materials are freely available and the number of workers needed would be less. We could easily automate it."
Stop it. No, no raw material comes for free.

The workers would keep growing and there is no decrease in number of resources needed as the company grows. You can but dream once your company attains to a research based implementation, there are some chances you could start to reduce the number of physical workers needed. 

Where are you planning to establish the company?
Discussions keep happening, but there is no initiative. Currently looking for lands that would come for

Do I get fruits and vegetables for free? 
In agricultural lands, one can find lot of fruits and vegetables and the scale at which people export will tell you there is good amount of raw materiel you will be able to gather just 15 km from your facility. And focus on partially decayed fruits and vegetables. The cost price of such goods would significantly be down and powdered making companies would not really need only fresh vegetables. 

How much would you expect the cost of dehydrating machinery would be?
Dehydrating machine does nothing but drying, since there would be a threshold per type of vegetable. And there should be some preprocessing needed to be done before getting into the dehydrating machine. There are thoughts to make the machine by our self since it doesn't seem to be complex. 

How are you going to clean the vegetables?
Conventional ways would be to blow high pressure air to the vegetables and dipping in water. This is tentative. We will need to research a bit on this. 

How are you going to port goods from one place to another?
Of course, we will need logistics services till we are equipped to buy one for our self. 

Are you going to be partnering with someone?
If there is a player who is in the field for a long time and if the deal works out convincing and trust able. I am open to partner provided the agreement would be of a limited time. This helps on both the sides. 

How are you going to raise funds? 
No debts. 
Our own capital and partners funds. 

How many labors would you need?
When it comes to labors, trust is the biggest factor and secondly, they should not become complacent. 
Let me follow pay outs based on quantity of work rather than monthly fixed salary. This encourages the worker and typical example is UBER.

Lockdown - Will it happen again?

Greetings to You! I trust that you are doing great. I am immensely happy to write yet another article on a whole new subject that talks about a persons authority and their limitations. I find it extremely difficult to squeeze the content in a one-liner, so please read it through till the end.  Let me start with a true story that would undoubtedly be relatable to you that I wanted to share for a long time. At the time of Covid spread, each nation and their governments had taken radical steps abruptly to contain the rate of infections. We all were spellbound by the renewed beauty of the nature around us, as the rare and wonderful birds were sighted near our homes, and the clouds were bright and colourful. The steps taken by the Government were very creative with less to question against. One of which is the Lockdown that spanned for almost six months where almost the whole country(India) came to a standstill. All of the industries except those that involved manufacturing and servicin...

Good news for the Indian contract workers

The code on Social Security, 2020 has for the very first time extended social security benefits like maternity leave, disability insurance, gratuity, health insurance and old age protection to workers in the country’s booming unorganized sector.  These include gig workers, platform workers, contract workers, freelancers and home-based workers. It also stipulates the gratuity benefits to fixed-term employees without any conditions on minimum service.  The code proposes the creation of a social security fund for extending these benefits to workers in the unorganized sector.  The scheme for the social security fund envisages that the platforms and aggregators make contributions to the fund which would be either 1-2 percent of the turnover or 5 percent of the worker’s wages. Central and the state governments can also contribute to the social security fund.  It integrates nine previous regulations relating to social security namely,  The Employees Compensation Act, 1...
