After Karnataka state passed the bill for reservation to Kannadiga's in the private sector (later they took it back). By looking at so many posts against that, here is what I want non Karnataka people to know. 1. 99% Local Kannada's never forced anyone to speak kannada. 2. Local Kannadiga's always welcomed outsiders. 3. Instead of forcing non kannadiga's to learn kannada, they spoke in English and Hindi to make them comfortable. 4. Once you sit back and think, if a kannadiga comes to your state, will you speak kannada to comfort them ? So, stop using political decisions to defame kannada or Kannadiga's. If Kannadaga's didn't have empathy then so many non kannadiga's would have not been peaceful in Bengaluru. what do you think? Vasanth Bhat

“Today, only 5% of people from the Indian Institutions are coming to the US, others are staying in India.” — Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen made this statement recently in an interview. He added that there is a trend of reverse migration, as the Indian economy is exploding and there are a lot of opportunities back home. A lot of people nowadays think that the US isn’t as valuable to Indians as it once was. But as an Indian who lives and runs a business in the US, I respectfully disagree. Here’s why: ▶ 1. The numbers  In 2022-23, the US issued 125k student visas to Indians while in 2023-24, the number rose to nearly 140k students. 1 out of every 5 student visas issued in the US was offered to an Indian. ▶ 2. Lack of original innovation A lot of work needs to be done to inculcate original research and innovation in Indian universities, so that our students are much more employable than they are currently. ▶ 3. The opportunity for global exposure For some students, it’s not only about the degree but also the exposure they get in the US - to diverse cultures, better research and a global network. I know students are still achieving great heights in India, and we’re constantly advancing. But the truth is - there’s still a long way to go. If we want our students to continue their education in India, we need to: - Provide them with quality education - Encourage original research and innovation - Update our curriculum and prioritise skill building I am confident that in the next few years, we will be able to reach a place where we don’t have to search for opportunities outside India. Only then will we be able to truly empower our youth and make India a global leader in education and employment. Do you think Indians aren’t as keen to go to the US as they used to be? #india #education #employement

How to lay-off employees! The TATA way… In the 1990s, Tata Steel faced a serious financial and existential problem. Their options were painful but clear – either they close down completely, or take the radical and unprecedented decision of reducing the workforce by half, from 80000 to 40000. It was a tough decision. Jobs were always guaranteed at Tata Steel, sometimes even for the next generation of employees. But it had to be done! Tata Steel then came up with an employee separation scheme which became a benchmark of humane approach to layoffs. As part of the scheme, all employees who are going to be separated would get the following benefits: 1) Full salary till their notional date of retirement 2) Medical insurance for themselves and for their families for the entire lifetime 3) Continue to live the company-provided quarters for 3 years till they found alternate accommodation. Many industry veterans strongly discouraged this scheme. "Are you guys crazy?" they asked. However, being who they are, the TATAs went ahead with the scheme. That was another example of business ethics from the Tata Group. Later, Fortune listed this as one of top 10 best industrial decisions ever in the world. This story had to be told today. Ratan Tata leaves a legacy behind him that will be hard to emulate.

Curious about how Zerodha reduced its PDF contract note generation time from 8 hours to just 25 minutes? This workflow transformation showcases their optimized architecture: 1. Stock Broker Data Handling: Data from stock exchanges is processed to generate contract notes. Initial processes involve collecting CSV data, transforming it, and preparing for PDF generation. 2. Vertically Scaled Server: A single server handles data processing, PDF generation, and digital signing, enabling efficient PDF creation and email distribution. 3. Pipeline with Horizontal Scaling: To improve speed, horizontally scaled servers and worker nodes are introduced, distributing workload across multiple nodes for parallel PDF generation. 4. AWS Integration: PDFs are stored in S3, with Redis managing job state distribution, enhancing reliability and scalability. 5. Automated Workflow with Rundeck and Harakmail: The entire process, from generation to distribution, is automated, ensuring speed and consistency with reduced manual intervention.

The recent tragic case of Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old from Bengaluru who ended his life alleging harassment by his wife, is a wake-up call that cannot be ignored. This is not about undermining the struggles of women, who undeniably face systemic challenges. It’s about advocating for equity. Justice should be blind to gender and rooted in truth. Reforming India’s laws to include gender-neutral provisions and introducing measures to curb misuse will pave the way for a more balanced and humane system. Atul’s tragic story is a painful reminder that the cost of inaction is far too high. Let us honor his memory by pushing for a legal system that serves everyone with fairness and compassion. Let’s start the conversation. What are your thoughts on creating a gender-balanced legal framework in India? #Bengaluru #techie #AtulSubhash's #death #harassment #assault #dowry.

The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is not merely a cricket tournament, it's a celebration of the sport, a platform for emerging talents, and a testament to cricket's expanding global reach. For the first time, the United States is co-hosting a major ICC event alongside the cricket-loving Caribbean nations. This expansion into the American market represents a strategic move to globalize cricket, aiming to attract new audiences and increase the sport's popularity. Now some Exciting Stats from the Tournament 1. Unbeaten Finalists: For the first time in T20 World Cup history, two unbeaten teams will compete in the final, guaranteeing that the champion will remain unbeaten throughout the tournament. 2. India's Consecutive Finals: India will be playing in their third consecutive ICC event final, following the World Test Championship (2023) and the Cricket World Cup (2023). This feat was previously achieved by New Zealand with the 2019 Cricket World Cup final, the 2021 World Test Championship victory, and the 2021 T20 World Cup final. 3. India's T20 World Cup Final After 10 Years: India is playing in their first T20 World Cup final in a decade, making it their third final appearance. In contrast, this will be South Africa's first-ever final in the T20 World Cup. 4. Aiden Markram's Leadership: South Africa won their last ICC event, the U19 World Cup, in 2014 with Aiden Markram as captain. He now leads the senior team into their first T20 World Cup final. 5. South Africa's ICC Trophy Drought: At the senior level, South Africa's only ICC event victory was the 1998 Champions Trophy. 6. Low Team Scores: Five of the eight lowest team scores in T20 World Cup history were recorded in this 2024 edition. 7. One-Sided Semi-Finals: This is the first time that both semi-finals have been completely one-sided affairs. 8. The "Chokers" Showdown: The final features two teams often labeled as "chokers" in world cricket. This match will determine which team can shed that label. 9. Possibility of a Shared Trophy: There is a high probability that the trophy could be shared in the event of a no-result final, a scenario last seen in the 2002 Champions Trophy shared by India and Sri Lanka. 10. India vs. South Africa Rivalry: India and South Africa have faced each other three times in Men's ICC tournaments, with India emerging victorious on all occasions – the 2000 Champions Trophy semi-final, the 2002 Champions Trophy semi-final, and the 2014 T20 World Cup semi-final. As the tournament approaches its climax, the anticipation builds to see which team will emerge victorious. As always, there's a first time for everything, so let's see who will lift the trophy this time. #sports #Cricket #weekly_sports_update #T20WC2024

Yesterday, AWS sent me an unexpected bill of 192 rupees on my free tier account. After trying for hours, finally the the bill has been canceled and also they credited $1 to my account. Actually the problem was - I initiated a RDS DB on a region, I didn't use it and completely forgot about it. I initiated another RDS DB in a region and deleted it after some time. Now the previous instance was running and I didn't aware of this. That was the problem. By their associate's help, I figured out the things and deleted that DB. And also, created a budget alert. What an experience!🥲 Learning : Always be aware of the region in which you are initiating a service. #aws #cloud

Guys is this correct , % of Actual tax payers in India out of 140 CR population is too less still no benefit to us in tax rules .Our hard earned money is for paying tax. Recent IT new mission : Income tax Notice issued to only tax payers & justification asked to tax payers only ? Why political parties are left who are actual culprits 😀 why bigger fishes are left or ignored and not punished who looted banks (Nirav Modi , Malya ) . Is this we call Achhe Din 😀?? Dear Finance minister bring black money and such looters with looted money back to India which was ur commitment which can boost our economy then I guess we middle class tax payers people can save some thing after paying tax 😜😜 Not against any political party or support to any political party but why only Middle class people carry this burden alone.

If you earn 10 lakhs in India, you pay around 54,000 in income tax. If you earn 20 lakhs in India, you pay around 2,96,400 in income tax. If you earn 40 lakhs in India, you pay around 9,20,000 in income tax. 4x income leads to 17x tax!! ************ And while most countries punish high earners, India also has something different which is: Out of 140+ crore population, only 6.8 crores filed Income tax returns in 22-23. and out of 6.8 Crores, 4.6 Crores paid ZERO tax. So basically, every taxpayer is compensating for the HUGE population NOT even filing returns. Is this a fair taxation system? ************* Now the fact is you can’t fight against the system so just know that after paying taxes, whatever little money is left, you really need to look after it: (1) Try to grow it at > 15% CAGR (2) When time permits - read, watch, build investment mindset (3) Long term capital gain tax is 10%, make the most use of it until it lasts :-) (3) Network with people who like to speak about incomes, spending, savings and money in general Control life's controllables and carve out the BEST out of the system for yourself!

The company's search boss, Prabhakar Raghavan, told employees at an all-hands meeting in March that Google plans to build teams closer to users in key markets, including India and Brazil, where labor is cheaper than in the U.S. Seems like SkillsFuture is leveling up in India and Brazil; also means the Commoditization of typical "Core" roles could be performed beyond the US, with much lower cost. Now, my question, what can our next-generation Singaporean fresh graduates do, than those countries mentioned yet to? Also goes to many staff with the business-as-usual SG&A roles, how to keep them from moving into Thailand and Malaysia?

Navigating the New Tax Regime vs. Old Tax Regime 2024: Simplified for You! 💼 With the new budget out, many of us are contemplating whether to opt for the new tax regime or stick with the old one. Let's break it down to make the decision easier for you. Key Considerations: Income > ₹15 Lakhs: If your total deductions, including Section 80C, exceed ₹4,33,333, the old tax regime is likely more beneficial. If not, consider the new tax regime. Income Between ₹13-15 Lakhs: Aim for deductions of ₹3,87,500 to see a tangible benefit from the old regime. Common Deductions which you can opt for: Section 80C: ₹1,50,000 Housing Loan EMI Interest /Rent: ₹2,00,000 Employee Benefits (Sodexo, Internet, LTA ): ₹50,000 NPS (Section 80CCD-1B): ₹50,000 By maximizing these deductions, especially if you are either claiming home loan benefits or paying rent, you can effectively reduce your taxable income. For those earning over ₹15 lakhs, with the above-mentioned deductions sticking with the old regime could reduce your tax burden by ₹5,000 compared to the new regime. Key Insights: Metro Residents: The new regime may not favor individuals paying high rent or EMIs in metro cities. Savings: The old tax regime encourages mandatory saving habits through contributions to NPS or PPF. Conclusion: While the new tax regime offers simplified slabs, it may not yet benefit those accustomed to leveraging deductions for tax savings. Evaluate your situation carefully to make the best decision for your financial health. 🔍 #TaxRegime #FinancialPlanning #TaxSavings #Budget2024 #OldVsNewTaxRegime #IncomeTax #PersonalFinance #Savings #Deductions #TaxPlanning #HomeLoan #FinancialAdvice #InvestSmart #TaxStrategies #FiscalResponsibility #WealthManagement #FinanceTips #MoneyMatters #TaxTips #SmartInvesting #EconomicGrowth #TaxSeason #FinancialLiteracy #InvestmentStrategy #FuturePlanning #WealthBuilding #TaxConsultant #MetroLiving #HousingMarket #FinancialFreedom #TaxEfficiency #TaxConsultation

Caught Between the Action and the Analogy Catching the India vs. England match, I was pumped after a huge six from Hardik Pandya. Then, while multitasking and working on a data engineering task, a Red Bull ad blares on screen. The tagline "gives you wings" got me thinking – what wings do data engineers give to their industries? This reframing keeps the key elements but improves the flow: --> Sets the scene: Establishes you're multitasking between the match and work. -->Highlights the trigger: Focuses on the Red Bull ad tagline sparking the connection. -->Maintains the core question: Ties it back to the analogy of data engineers giving wings to the industry.

I got my dream job of TPM at Visa with hardly any preparation. That too, at a time when layoffs were being announced weekly & people were hardly even getting interview callbacks. I reached a milestone of 60k+ followers on LinkedIn in a few months by writing only a few times a month. I got into my dream school Duke University in 3 months, from planning to applying to being accepted. I got into Harvard Business School’s Executive leadership program with 3 weeks of preparation. FALSE. I made it to Visa in my third try, after two of my earlier interviews for different roles were cancelled. I prepared extremely hard for the job I landed at Visa. I remember studying all through Diwali because I had my final interview round the next day. On LinkedIn, I have been writing consistently for almost 2 years, have dedicated a lot of time browsing on the platform to follow inspirational people, establish relationships, respond to as many DMs as I could, engage meaningfully on the platform & more importantly, I improved myself everyday so I’d have meaningful things to talk & write about. I made into both my dream schools because of the profile I have, which I worked very hard for throughout my corporate life, and because of the essays I spent time writing, rewriting, editing & perfecting. Just the essay writing process took weeks! We belong to a generation in which people will have you believe that their most difficult of achievements came to them instantly and effortlessly. That’s a lie! I have worked hard for everything I have achieved. So has everyone else who’s achieved anything worth vying for. Don’t look for easy ways out, or look up to people who say they’re born geniuses and can make you one too. It’s a trap! The only thing that will get you anywhere is hard work with a dash of luck. Remember, “the magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.” :) Good luck! Shreya Mishra #internationalstudents #gradschool #studyabroad #students #careers #jobhunting

The recent drama around yes-madam and zepto with respect to the culture got me thinking something. Are our organizations really that bad? How do I gauge this and bring those organizations who are actually good? Now only if the employees state independently that the culture is good, then we can agree. Else any senior management guy/girl can claim anything. As an initiative, I have a super short survey of 4 questions related to culture and 2 general questions. If you all can kindly fill it please it will help us all to bring those organizations to the fore-front who are actually doing good when it comes to culture and as well name/shame those who are faring worse. Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/gHgT2uwA It is truly anonymous as we do not collect anything. Not even your title, e-mail, name etc. The idea is to be honest about this whole topic of culture and maybe give a room to all organizations to become better. Thank you all and looking forward to your responses. The link is also available in the comment. #yesmadam #zepto #culture #worklifebalance #organization #india
