TDB - setup in Sept 1996 under the Technology Development Board Act (1995) - is a statutory body under the Dept. of Science & Technology @IndiaDST. A 1st of its kind organisation within the govt framework, its sole objective is commercializing fruits of indigenous research. 2/n
TDB has been doing good work across multiple sectors. For example, the new terminal at the Chennai airport uses sky lighting domes for building atriums developed by @skyshade__. Skyshade is a TDB beneficiary…as are many others.3/n

يعد السبب الأساسي لحدوث هذا هو تجاهل عملية بحث السوق، أو خطأ النتائج الواردة بها. تحدث هذه المشكلة أيضًا بسبب عدم الاهتمام بتطوير MVP Minimum Viable Product أي «منتج بالحد الأدنى من الخصائص» لاختبار الفكرة قبل إطلاقها الكامل في السوق.

- عدم النجاح في إغلاق جولة استثمارية

تكلفة بدء شركة ناشئة دون استشارة خبير أكبر مما تعتقد !!
اليوم راسلني أحد الرواد لاحظ أن في مشكله في السوق في وجهة نظرة فقرر ينشأ شركة لحل هذه المشكلة على أساس أن لا يوجد شركات في السوق بنفس الفكرة
بعد إنفاق ما يزيد عن 75 ألف دولار .... انصدم !!!!

وجد في ثلاث شركات تعمل بنفس الفكرة وطبعا نظرا لكبر حجم الشركات الثلاث + عدم وجود كاش كاف لبدء عمليات التسويق والتشغيل
التوصية راح تكون إغلاق النشاط
ولذلك لا تبدأ في أى عمل تجاري دون استشارة خبير
دور المستشار في مشروعك هو حفظ الكاش و الوقت والجهد

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a tax system in India that requires businesses to file their tax returns electronically.

GSTR-1: This return is filed by businesses to report their outward supplies of goods or services.
In simple terms, it means the sales made by the business.
The return needs to be filed monthly or quarterly, depending on the turnover of the business.

Understanding ESOPs #4

Taxation of ESOPS explained in way that even a 5-years old can understand!
#startups #incometax 🧵
ESOPs are like a special way of getting paid. But when you get paid, you also have to pay taxes.
There are 2 times when you have to pay taxes for ESOPs:
1. When you decide to turn them into shares, and
2. When you sell those shares.
There are 2 times when you have to pay taxes for ESOPs:
1. When you decide to turn them into shares, and
2. When you sell those shares.
Let's say you have 1000 shares that you can turn into shares by paying Rs. 10 for each share. But each share is worth Rs. 100 in the market.
So, the difference between the two prices is Rs. 90 per share, which is taxed.

Hi! Today I want to talk about how to decide the size of your ESOP pool.
#startups 🧵
How much of your startup should you allocate for ESOPs?
This is a tricky question and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on many factors such as your stage, valuation, funding, growth potential, hiring plans, etc.
This is a tricky question and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on many factors such as your stage, valuation, funding, growth potential, hiring plans, etc.
However, one way to think about it is to make it a function of your employees’ cash compensation.
In other words, how much salary are you willing to trade for ESOPs? For example, if you pay an employee Rs. 10L per annum in cash, you can offer them ESOPs worth Rs. 10L as well.
