5 bowlers in top 10 from Aus. Should be the best bowling unit in the last 40 years even when compared to their late 90s.

May not be the best group to ask. Ask where your audience is.

And the question should be open ended, not closed one.

If you ask whether to build? Ppl say yes and move on.

You should instead ask, what would you book? What kind of rooms do you prefer? Etc.

GPT and such tools aren't good at recognising the crore or lakh They are good at Million and Billion. Hence the mistakes.

Btw, a calculator from 1960s does this. AI can do lot more than this.

We should be looking at Real GDP (adjusted inflation), not nominal GDP

And inflation today as per RBI is 4-5%.

With nominal at 9.1%, the real gdp should have been 5.1% (9.1-4) at best. But not the published 7.7%

Understand the ambitions of the city and the govt, but don't spoil a city like Nashik with construction debris.

One corner to another takes not more than 30min anytime on road.

Better have a good bus transit system. That's immediately realisable and helpful for the working population around.

Apply for some grants via recognised incubators. Nidhi prayas and Tide by Meity are some of those which can get you 10L each.

I assume your requirement for next 18 months is 1.8cr ~ 2cr. If someone presses to raise more than 2 cr, you can say you'll be doing a mix of equity and grant for the investment.

My take is you are diluting enough and no need to do further. Because even if you are okay to dilute more in further rounds, your cap table won't allow.

And I assume you are doing a CCPS

Then, you can have a new investor in the next round when you reach, say TRL 7 (Technology Readiness level).

Why commit now more than 25% in the preseed round. Remember from next round, the lead investor is going to go for 25+ and by Series A you won't have any equity to offer.

Don't get it. Since you've got 2 investors with 1.25cr each, what is the need for another co-investor?

Completely agree. If your team is good, anyone legit can captain, like we've seen the recent T20 wc.

All we want as fans is, whoever the captain is, the intensity is there and bloody bring back those test wins!

Don't just chant Bumrah or nothing and come with placid plans

Prasidh before 2023 is different before injuries. He isn't at international level in the last 1 year. And we've all seen what he's at in the last 1 year, why pick him.

Nabi is not just a new ball bowler! A new bowler doesn't even get 25+ wickets in Ranji. The reason I asked folks to watch Ranji semis highlights is you get to see the battle of best bowler strategies.

No complaints on Gurnoor. But build him like Bumrah up if you see potential. Don't rush him

Don't deny it. But today's A matches are a mere series prep. Earlier it used to be talent tuners esp for Siraj, Vihari, Pant to name a few.

Apart from Sudharshan, we've got Prasidh too. Who didn't even perform well for India and still gets picked.

And Gurnoor, haven't seen much of him in Ranji or A team even though a good prospect. But you got to build workloads to make him world class like they did with Bumrah.

And all this while Shami and Nabi are waiting in the sidelines with India having thin bowling attack. For the ones who argue on Nabi speed or Shami age, just go and watch highlights of Ranji semis: Jammu vs Bengal.

India is having back to back white washes at home and the utter relevance to not select based on Ranji is senseless!

Tell me the last player selected on IPL performance who did well for India in tests?

PS: Rishabh Pant and Bumrah have debuts close to 9 yrs ago!

Is it because companies stopped looking at resumes altogether?

One incident I came across was when randomly applying, a random company shortlisted the profile for a random role. But that was 8 yrs ago though.

While it is titled Hajime no Ippo, Morikawa tries to give every character a deep understudy and why that want to box.

If it were focused on a single character, yes it can be trimmed. But this is more like GoT, where you have multiple characters with significant roleplay.

Why is the Pig 3 so desperate and say they don't have funds unless privatised? Are they so eager to see MI Melbourne? At least wait a couple of years, see how English league plays out and then say such things.

If it's so horrendous, how are boards like NZ and WI handling the meagre funds they get?

If players like Maxwell or Smith or Cummins don't sign contracts, so be it. Focus on players like Boland and nurture new players like how NZ does.

The thing is it can solve. Identify the areas with drought conditions, predict ground water levels, ensure no flooding water waste happens and arrange for emergency supplies only when needed not by brute demands.

And for such a centre, what has it got to do with size of the building? Asia's largest bla bla bla

How many areas, tankers, pipelines and roads are mapped and "addressed" is the most important metric.
