The plights of the traditional unorganised and informal co-living sector are plenty Mark Twain once famously said: “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” Real estate is one of our most scarce resources. As per IBEF’s Real Estate Report (November 2020), the real estate sector in India is expected to reach US $ 1 trillion by 2030. By 2025, it will contribute 13 percent to the country’s GDP. The residential segment contributes nearly 80 percent of the real estate sector and the demand concentrated in metro cities constantly outmatches supply since India’s urban housing pyramid is a skewed one with the largest proportion of the population being under-served due to issues of affordability. The metro cities in India have witnessed rapid growth in-migration, which has put considerable pressure on the existing rental housing set-up which itself was not historically designed in order to cater to the demand. With more millennials entering the workforce and contributing towards a … [Read more...] about Future of co-living in India after COVID-19: 3 crucial factors

Web3 gaming could provide better monetisation opportunities, say top Indian gaming founders
(Image Source: Shutterstock) Web3 gaming could provide potentially better monetisation opportunities for game developers in India, the country's top gaming founders said in a panel discussion on May 5. Web3 is dubbed to be the next iteration of the Internet, which will be decentralised and run on blockchain. "Monetisation on games has been a challenge in the India market, even in a freemium model, except for a few top grossing games. The in-app purchase (IAP) conversions has been low and eCPMs (effective cost per thousand impressions) have been fairly low. I think web3 is providing a completely different set of monetization opportunities with potentially higher ARPU (average revenue per user)" said Nazara Technologies founder Nitish Mittersain in the panel discussion held at IGDC Blockchain Gaming Summit in Bengaluru. Apart from Mittersain, the panel consisted of Mobile Premier League co-founder Sai Srinivas and JetSynthesys founder Rajan Navani. It was moderated by … [Read more...] about Web3 gaming could provide better monetisation opportunities, say top Indian gaming founders

Indonesia to vaccinate herds as foot-and-mouth hits provinces
JAKARTA, May 14 (Bloomberg): Indonesia, which eradicated the foot-and-mouth disease in cattle in the 1970s, is producing its own vaccine for cattle to halt an outbreak that has spread to six regencies in Aceh and East Java provinces. The virus that infected thousands of cattle has been identified as stereotype O of IND2001, a strain that is common in the South-East Asian region, Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo said in a virtual briefing on Wednesday. The local vaccines are currently in production and should be ready within 20 days, said Limpo. In the meantime, the government will use imported vaccines on infected livestock, he said, without giving details of the shots. The outbreak, which hit during the religious Eid festivities, could boost Indonesia’s imports of beef that the government forecast will reach 193,223 tons this year. Beef produced in the country with the world’s largest Muslim population can only meet about 70% of its annual consumption.

5 Ways That Satisfying The Gen Z Workforce Can Help Every Other Working Generation
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If we meet the needs of the youngest working generation, we’ll most likely satisfy the rest of the workforce, too. Generation Z is a force to reckon with—and not just in your home. These tech-savvy, self-aware youngsters have incredible clarity about what they want at work. The good news is, if companies can satisfy the youngest working generation, they’ll most likely also meet the needs of the rest of the workforce. While there are certainly times to relate to people based on their generational traits, in general it’s counterproductive to create elaborate, generation-specific systems for dealing with workers of various ages. That’s why a benchmark generation like Gen Z can help employers understand what workers of all generations want from their employers. A new study released by TalentLMS , a learning management system backed by Epignosis alongside HR software BambooHR , sheds light on five key areas … [Read more...] about 5 Ways That Satisfying The Gen Z Workforce Can Help Every Other Working Generation

Only micro-entrepreneurs exempted from minimum wage implementation, says minister
- A + A TANJONG KARANG (May 14): Only microenterprises and micro-entrepreneurs are exempted from implementing the Minimum Wages Order (MWO) 2022 until year end, according to Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar. He said the MWO 2022 exemption was decided by the Cabinet, and while the term used is “micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)”, it actually refers to micro-entrepreneurs. “This means any entrepreneur or firm with an annual sales turnover of below RM300,000 and employing no more than five [full-time] workers,” the Tanjong Karang Member of Parliament said after officiating at the SK Sungai Burong Parent-Teacher Association general meeting here on Saturday (May 14).

Tech companies coddled their employees. Now they’re firing them
Tech employees who were once encouraged to bring their whole selves to work are publicly mocked as woke crybabies by venture capitalists who see Musk as the leader of a righteous cleanse. (Photo by Bloomberg) - A + A (May 13): Two weeks or so before Elon Musk prevailed in his attempt to strike a deal to buy Twitter, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist and entrepreneur Keith Rabois tweeted a story from Musk’s start-up days. Once, at Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX), Musk had noticed a group of interns milling around while they waited in a line for coffee. To a normal chief executive officer (CEO), such a scene might have seemed, well, normal. But to Musk, it was an affront to productivity. According to Rabois, who knows Musk from their days at PayPal, Musk responded by threatening to fire all the interns if it happened again, and had security cameras installed, so that the company could monitor compliance. Rabois used this to make a prediction: “The … [Read more...] about Tech companies coddled their employees. Now they’re firing them
