The “watch duty time limitations and rest requirements” set forth by the DGCA on January 11 for controllers state that an air traffic controller's shift cannot last longer than 12 hours (Representative Image) The Directorate General of Civil Aviation ( DGCA ) rejected the Airports Authority of India ( AAI ) proposal to provide relaxation for airports with fewer flights in order to enable it to overcome a manpower shortage and instead issued new rules for the duty hours of air traffic controllers, as per a report in The Hindu . Although a version of these rules was initially announced in November 2020, the AAI found it challenging to comply with them because it required more staff to offer the required rest period. Since then, it has requested exemptions five times and suggested various duty hours for four distinct types of airports based on the volume of air traffic they handle: large airports, or those with more than 400 flights per day, as well as airports with up to … [Read more...] about DGCA sets new rules for duty timings of air traffic control employees

P/E of 1,000? Investors cautious over huge valuation of Mamaearth IPO
Gaurav Kapoor, a New Delhi-based stand-up comedian, has over a million subscribers on YouTube. His channel is full of daily vlogs and occasional stand-up videos. Kapoor is usually the one cracking one-liners. But when it comes to promoting Mamaearth’s products, he becomes the butt of jokes. Kapoor and other influencers have promoted Mamaearth products extensively since the company was incorporated in 2016. For the average YouTube viewer, the sheer number of ads of the then-fledgling brand would easily have got on one’s nerves. Mamaearth is the flagship brand of Honasa Consumer, a beauty and personal care company that plans to come out with an initial public offering. The company filed its draft IPO papers on December 30.

Sequoia-backed DeFi app Flint discontinues flagship yield service: Report
In its yield offering, Flint promised users a fixed return on their deposits of Ethereum, Bitcoin or several of its listed options. Decentralised Finance (DeFi) startup Flint, which is backed by investors like Sequoia Capital and Coinbase, has decided to discontinue its flagship yield offering service amid regulatory uncertainty, YourStory reported on January 27 citing an internal mail. "Today we are announcing the regrettable but necessary decision that Flint will be phasing out its services due to regulatory clarity around crypto deposit-taking companies like ours," the company said in the email to users, the report stated. The development comes after the DeFi startup had in November last year informed that it has "moved out" its funds from crypto exchange FTX, which recently became bankrupt. The saga that shook the crypto world last year began with FTX filing for US bankruptcy court protection from creditors and founder Sam Bankman-Fried resigning as chief executive … [Read more...] about Sequoia-backed DeFi app Flint discontinues flagship yield service: Report

Shilpa Shetty could make a killing from Mamaearth IPO. Here’s how
Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, is looking to raise Rs 400 crore through a fresh issue of shares, apart from an offer for sale of around 4.7 crore shares. “Valuation discovery is a process which will take place over time as we get into deeper conversations with investor community”. That was Mamaearth co-founder Ghazal Alagh’s response after the company faced #FinTwit’s ire for demanding a ‘sky-high, disastrous’ valuation for its public offering. Keeping Alagh’s comment aside, it is certain that Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty will be laughing all the way to the bank as her Rs 6.8 crore investment in the company will grow multi-fold. The question is by how much? Let’s assume that Mamaearth lists at Nykaa’s current market capitalisation-to-sales (or price-to-sales) valuation, given both are direct-to-consumer (D2C) companies in the beauty and personal care (BPC) space. Nykaa trades at 7.4 times P/S based on FY23 annualised sales. Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, … [Read more...] about Shilpa Shetty could make a killing from Mamaearth IPO. Here’s how
