Aakash Educational Services Board reconstituted amid debt covenant negotiations with hedge fund

Aakash Educational Services Board reconstituted amid debt covenant negotiations with hedge fund

Amid ongoing debt covenant discussions with hedge fund Davidson Kempner Capital Management, Aakash Educational Services Ltd (AESL) has taken significant steps to reconstitute its board. Reports indicate that the edtech startup, backed by Byju’s, encountered difficulties in meeting certain loan agreement covenants, leading to Davidson Kempner’s decision to withhold disbursement of a $250 million loan that was initially extended to AESL. As a means to bolster the board’s strength and governance, Byju’s will be nominating three of its representatives from Think and Learn to the board, alongside two independent directors. It is anticipated that the newly formed board will take charge within the next two weeks. Additionally, there are indications that the board may seek new auditors, and Byju Raveendran, the founder of Byju’s, will be the sole executive representative from the parent company on the AESL board.

In the midst of these developments, tensions have arisen as Think & Learn (Byju’s parent company) sent a notice to the founders of AESL expressing their reluctance to proceed with a previously agreed share swap that was part of the acquisition deal in 2021. At that time, Byju’s acquired AESL, which operates coaching centers, in a cash and stock transaction worth approximately $940 million. Post-acquisition, Think & Learn held a 43% stake, while Raveendran owned 27% of the company. The remaining stake in AESL is held by founder Chaudhry’s family, maintaining about 18%, and Blackstone holding the remaining 12%.

Despite the challenges, Aakash Educational Services remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company is projecting a remarkable three-fold growth, with expected revenue of Rs 3,000 crore for the financial year 2023, compared to pre-acquisition figures. Buoyed by this promising performance, AESL is also contemplating the possibility of going public with an initial public offering (IPO) to further fuel its expansion and development.

MALHOTRA GROUP PLC EXPANDS ITS OPERATION IN INDIA WITH GOLF COURSE PURCHASE

MALHOTRA GROUP PLC EXPANDS ITS OPERATION IN INDIA WITH GOLF COURSE PURCHASE

LEADING developer, Malhotra Group PLC, has announced is has successfully completed the purchase of The Imperial Golf Estate in Ludhiana, Punjab, India following four years of negotiations.

The development, which includes an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus company, Nicklaus Design, was halted in 2019 after the previous owners ran into financial difficulty.

The development is now firmly back on track having been acquired by Malhotra Realty Private Ltd India (MRPL), a Malhotra Family Holding Company.

The UK- based company, which has property, care home and leisure interests across the country, is headed by Chairman, Meenu Malhotra who has always wanted to create a legacy in his home town of Ludhiana, Punjab, India.

“This project will not only create opportunities for local people but also provide world class facilities, enhancing the reputation of  the already affluent town of Ludhiana and placing it on the world map,” said Mr Malhotra.

Together with the championship golf course, the project will see the creation of more than 700 villas and apartments, an upscale shopping mall with national and international designer outlets and fashionable food and beverage offerings.

A destination health farm with spa facilities and a luxury five-star hotel will be created with other, yet to be announced, prestigious partners.

An international school (junior and senior) in collaboration with prominent educational institutions based in the United Kingdom is also planned, along with places of worship and a creche for residents and families.

The development is expected to draw travellers from throughout India, which will assist in creating local job opportunities and boost the economy for the state of Punjab.

MRPL is looking forward to working closely with administration officials in Ludhiana and the Punjab Government in laying the much-needed infrastructure to make this project successful.

It has already applied to have all the relevant licences and consents renewed so work can commence on site immediately, in anticipation that Phase 1 will be complete within two years.

“We have been working for the past four years on bringing this project together which was held up because of legal hurdles.  We would like to thank our advisor, Anshul Jain of PwC New Dehli who assisted us through the regulatory processes,” added the CEO.

The company is in the process of recruiting an international architect, and the design and aesthetics will be led by the famous local architect Zafar Choudhry of Habitat Architects in Ludhiana.

With the new road infrastructure laid swiftly by the Government of India, Imperial Golf Estate will be serviced by four airports, including the new Ludhiana Airport, Chandigarh Airport, Amritsar Airport and New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, with plans for a helipad in the future.

With the additional promise of high speed connectivity, MRPL is confident the golf estate and all the planned facilities will draw players and visitors from across the globe as well as catering for the increased interest in golf across India.

Mr Malhotra believes that “the project will make a huge positive economic impact on the area and create thousands of jobs for local people and companies,”

“I have always been a patriotic Indian, proud Punjabi and my home town of Ludhiana remains very close to my heart,” he added.

This is the second major project to be undertaken by MRPL.  Last year it announced The Wilton, a major 2,000,000 sq ft city centre project, consisting of a shopping mall, hotel, cinema complex and 600 fashionable residencies off Canal Road, Ludhiana which is already under development.

Meenu sees this latest move as part of a continuing commitment to the company’s overseas development plans.

“We are global investors with a proven track record of development in the UK.  We see India as a vibrant economy which we wish to invest in,” he said.

“India is the fastest growing economy in the world.  The Government of India’s intention is to become the third largest economy in the world in the next decade by investing in infrastructure and housing, as well as other sectors.

“We are proud to invest in India to be part of that growth story and will continue to invest in India to assist in making this vision a reality.   We expect to announce further developments in due course.”

YouTube Must Remove “Anti-Hindu” AI-Generated Film of Mahatma Gandhi and Kanye West

YouTube Must Remove “Anti-Hindu” AI-Generated Film of Mahatma Gandhi and Kanye West

American rap music video depicts Mahatma Gandhi bombing Taj Mahal, joining ISIS, carrying guns, and committing suicide in various ways.

July 31, 2023 — Satyameva Jayate, a global human rights organization dedicated to upholding and advancing the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, has strongly condemned the recent depiction of Mahatma Gandhi in a music video by American rapper Big Baby Gandhi and Kanye West AI. The organization is urgently appealing to YouTube for the immediate removal of the “War With The Matrix” music video and is advocating for sanctions against the artists responsible for the hateful anti-Hindu content.

In the “War With The Matrix” video, Kanye West is portrayed with Mahatma Gandhi engaged in acts such as smoking marijuana, attempting suicide in various forms, carrying rifles, posing with ISIS militants, destroying cultural heritage by burning down the Taj Mahal, and participating in Nazi-inspired book burning. In a video entitled “1515”, the creator of “War With The Matrix” makes statements such as “ISIS is my crew” and “my government name is Osama bin Laden,” seeming to openly endorse terrorist ideologies.

Satyameva Jayate has taken issue with these troubling portrayals, stating that they are not only factually incorrect and disrespectful, but dangerous. Founder Dr. Satyanarayana Iyer said: “These statements and violent imagery are tarnishing the legacy of non-violence Gandhi stood for. In an era where misinformation can spread like wildfire, adhering to the truth is a potent tool for maintaining social cohesion and trust. The practice of satyagraha, insistence upon truth, urges us to champion transparency and honesty in our daily interactions and larger societal discourses.”

The organization has invoked the recent outrage sparked by the Hollywood film ‘Oppenheimer’ which includes a depiction of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred Hindu scripture, being recited during a sex scene. Quoting Uday Mahurkar, founder of Save Culture Save India (SCSI), Dr. Iyer has stated: “This is a direct assault on the peaceful existence of a billion tolerant Hindus. It amounts to waging a war on the Hindu community and almost appears to be part of a larger conspiracy by anti-Hindu forces.”

The organization has therefore issued an appeal to YouTube and other platforms that host the “War With The Matrix” video to remove the video immediately. While advocating for freedom of expression, Satyameva Jayate stated that this should not extend to content that promotes violence, endorses terrorism, or tramples upon the legacy of the icon of global peace, Mahatma Gandhi.

The organization has also issued a statement that: “All who value peace, non-violence, and mutual respect must join us in demanding the removal of this abomination from all media platforms. Collective action can help preserve the true legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and continue to promote the values he dedicated his life to uphold.”

Satyameva Jayate, meaning “Truth Alone Triumphs,” is an organization “committed to fostering a world inspired by Gandhi Ji’s principles of truth, peace, and compassion.”

BIODIESEL FROM ACID OIL, A WASTE BY-PRODUCT OF VEGETABLE OIL REFINERIES: AN ECONOMIC RESOURCE FOR BIODIESEL ACTIVITIES

BIODIESEL FROM ACID OIL, A WASTE BY-PRODUCT OF VEGETABLE OIL REFINERIES: AN ECONOMIC RESOURCE FOR BIODIESEL ACTIVITIES

Combating the menace of Global warming has become a challenging task of present times. Biofuels development holds promise as they are considered eco-friendly renewable and widespread. Bioethanol and Biodiesel have been projected as an alternative to Petrol and Diesel. Feedstock availability and production costs are the key drivers toward sustainable and commercial production and implementation of biofuels. Our energy security will remain vulnerable until economic resources are identified and appropriate processes are developed. A strong focus on technology development is imperative for the adaptation of second/third generation of advanced biofuels utilizing domestic feedstocks including agricultural residues/ industrial wastes that otherwise are simply burnt/ thrown out…

Acid oil has been identified as an economic resource as it is readily available in large quantities at most vegetable oil refineries, about 1060 vegetable oil refineries in India process about 25 Million Tons of vegetable oils and generates about 4-4.2 Million Tons of acid oil at their sites which are considered as unwanted and are disposed of at 40-42000 Rs. /ton. As acid oil contains free fatty acids and moisture contents far excess than permissible limits conventional trans-esterification process cannot be employed. A new type of ED3R esterification process developed at the R& D center produces Biodiesel of International specifications. The process is economically viable, simple, and be easily scaled up as per the needs.

ED3R process consists of an esterification unit, methanol recovery enrichment, and recycling unit which are chronologically arranged and operated. Methanol is continuously fed to the esterification vessel and the methanol-water vapor mixture produced is continuously taken out.

The mixture is fed to a recovery unit where methanol is enriched recovered recycled and reused.

At the forefront of this transformative endeavor is GoGreen BioEnergy India Pvt Ltd, the organization responsible for the pioneering development and implementation of the ED3R process. Spearheaded by visionary leaders such as BM Kulkarni and Madhu HN, with Naveen Pawar as the CEO, GoGreen BioEnergy India Pvt Ltd continues to drive innovation and sustainability in the biofuels industry.

As the world seeks cleaner and greener energy solutions, the utilization of acid oil for biodiesel production showcases how waste materials can be transformed into valuable economic resources. By tapping into the potential of acid oil through the ED3R process, India and the global community take a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting energy security, and fostering a sustainable future. As GoGreen BioEnergy India Pvt Ltd leads the charge, their commitment to developing green energy solutions, and social media presence, including Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp Web: https://gogreenbioenergy.com, ensure that their transformative efforts continue to inspire and influence the bioenergy landscape positively.

Huma Qureshi Marks 37th Birthday with Call for Industry Change and Rejects Ageism in Film

Huma Qureshi Marks 37th Birthday with Call for Industry Change and Rejects Ageism in Film

On her 37th birthday, celebrated actor Huma Qureshi passionately advocates for a transformative shift in the film industry’s perception of age, particularly when it comes to female artists. Firmly rejecting the practice of ageism, she urges people in showbiz to view women beyond a mere “shelf life,” emphasizing that age is nothing more than a number. According to Qureshi, actresses face ageism more than their male counterparts, a deeply sexist perspective that undermines the growth and talent of women in the industry. Instead, she believes that artists improve and evolve with each passing year, becoming better versions of themselves, and that this growth should be celebrated and acknowledged.

Choosing a laid-back and introspective approach on her special day, Qureshi focuses on personal growth. She shares that one of the most significant lessons she has learned with age is to be patient and trust in life’s plans, recognizing that sometimes the best things are yet to come. Throughout the years, she has noticed substantial changes within herself as a person, including her ideas and perspectives, all of which she hopes continue to evolve positively. The actor highlights her dedication to becoming a more fearless performer and a kinder, more patient individual, choosing to react thoughtfully rather than impulsively.

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance, Qureshi treats her profession as a job, adhering to a nine-to-five work schedule. On her birthday, she prefers taking time off to relax, indulge in activities she loves, and surround herself with loved ones. Guarding her personal space and time, she intentionally avoids working on special occasions like birthdays and New Year’s, cherishing these moments for self-pampering and quality time with family and friends.

Looking ahead, the actor is excited to dive back into the world of “Maharani,” commencing shooting for its highly anticipated third season just three days after her birthday. Anticipating even more significant twists and turns, and exceptional performances, she is eager to return to the streets of Bhopal, where the journey of “Maharani” began.

Huma Qureshi’s birthday celebration is not only a time for joy but also a profound reflection on the industry’s ageism issue, pushing for a more inclusive and appreciative culture that embraces the talent and growth of women in film.
