Sahil Barua, Managing Director & CEO, Delhivery Delhivery, an e-commerce logistics and supply chain startup, floated its maiden public issue on May 11. It will be the first new-age technology company to get listed in 2022. The IPO marks a lucrative exit for many of its investors, makes some employees rich and serves as a barometer to measure India's startup and tech sector's success. The company’s initial public offering (IPO) is significant as it comes at a time when global financial markets have turned volatile due to high inflation, rising interest rates, and geo-political tensions. It also comes on the back of the hammering that new-age technology companies have received after getting listed last year. Delhivery’s IPO response could potentially determine the outcome for startups such as Oyo, Snapdeal and Pharmeasy, who have filed draft papers with Sebi but have delayed their listing plans due to uncertainty in the market. Delhivery, too, had delayed its listing plans … [Read more...] about MC Interview | Good companies find a way to go public at any time, whatever market says: Delhivery’s Sahil Barua

Rudy Giuliani Lands New Gig: MyPillow Influencer
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani posted an advertisement for MyPillow sandals on Twitter late Thursday, sparking ridicule and marking merely the latest bizarre move for Giuliani.

Denver’s InnovAge was struggling long before Medicare stopped paying
A company tasked with caring for some of Colorado’s sickest people failed to consistently provide basic services like insulin injections for more than a year before state and federal authorities intervened, as its profit-driven leaders recruited more clients than they could handle, former employees allege. The Denver Post spoke to seven former employees and board members of InnovAge, a Denver-based elder care provider, and reviewed hundreds of pages of lawsuits, federal inspection reports and whistleblower complaints. All painted a picture of an organization so focused on growth that it continued signing up new people — including some homeless Denver residents who didn’t qualify — while struggling to serve clients it already had. The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing announced in December that it would no longer pay for InnovAge to care for new clients covered by Medicaid in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, which offers services … [Read more...] about Denver’s InnovAge was struggling long before Medicare stopped paying

Are We Already In A Recession? Yes, According To Fed Indicator With ‘Excellent’ Track Record
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A highly watched economic indicator with a good track record in predicting recessions cut its forecast for second-quarter gross domestic product growth this week, implying the nation has fallen into a technical recession despite economists widely calling for a return to growth in the second quarter. Key Facts The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow model on Thursday projected the U.S. economy shrank 1% in the second quarter, slipping into negative territory after economic data showed consumer spending dropped in May, while domestic investments, another component of GDP growth, also fell. The model, which estimates GDP growth using a methodology similar to the one used for the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ official estimates, has been steadily trimming its second-quarter GDP forecast based on updated economic data that’s fueled concerns of a prolonged economic downturn in recent weeks.

“Gentrification on steroids” squeezes out Latino students, raising fears of Denver school closures
One morning in June, Brenda Rivas’ two children scampered through the towering playground at Paco Sanchez Park in northwest Denver. It was only the second time the mother and her boys had visited the sprawling structure of slides, swings, and things to climb, and which looks like it was crafted for The Jetsons cartoon with its odd mix of retro and out-of-this-world design. But Rivas, 31, could see them coming more often, especially as she wants her children to experience the Denver she grew up in. That’s why she also takes the kids to Sloan’s Lake, which Rivas used to bike to with her father when she was growing up even though there’s another park closer to their home. It’s why she drives at least 30 minutes, sometimes 45 minutes, to take them to Colfax Elementary School. “I want them to have the same experience of coming to the neighborhood school,” Rivas said. The playground wasn’t there when she was younger. It didn’t open until 2020, years after soaring rent prices … [Read more...] about “Gentrification on steroids” squeezes out Latino students, raising fears of Denver school closures
Communicating With Remote Employees
Work from home opportunities provide flexible ways to maintain a connection with staff members. However, the challenge becomes easier with proven methods to stay in touch. Frequent communication with remote employees is achievable with some basic planning. During the pandemic, companies changed the methods they traditionally used to complete routine office tasks and high-priority assignments. Their resilience allowed them to move forward when lives were threatened by a deadly virus, so they could still supply products and services. However, getting to a point where a work from home model resembled a business-as-usual environment took several adjustments. Many of the tools that companies are using to communicate with remote employees have been around for years. The preferred method for communication varies among companies depending on an organization's size, location, service offerings and number of employees. Following are some best practices when it comes to communicating … [Read more...] about Communicating With Remote Employees
