When I try to move from a "Registered User" to a "Business User" on the MCA portal, the system is supposed to provide an OTP to the registered mobile number. I have not received OTP despite 100+ attempts, 6 complaints, and 25 phone calls at the MCA hotline over the last 20 days.

𝟑. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 "𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐂"?

ONGC is looking for something other than oil or gas in Ladakh. They are digging up to 1 km into the ground to explore the deep geothermal energy availability.

Dear @MCA21India

We cannot incorporate a new company as we cannot get mobile OTP for Profile Registration. Due to this website's fault, we had to apply for an extension. We had already raised ticket FO_202308271081367.

Please resolve the same at the earliest.

Tech solutions need to solve "Organic Food Scams" in India. Fast!

Let's put the fancy tech terms ("blockchain," "AI monitoring," etc.) to good use.

If not, bad food will undoubtedly eat the world.

Fortunate to hear more about this firsthand from Prof. @ramgopal_rao.

[Chirag Gupta @CommittedChirag]

PhDs or MBAs?
Who is better suited to build #DeepTech #startups?

MBAs focus on “market pull,” i.e., identify a hole in a specific market and launch a startup to capture value.

PhDs focus on “technological push,” i.e., tackle a scientific challenge over 3-7 years.

I love the initiative by the @bitspilaniindia, to find the middle ground. A #PhD for the #startup track, PhD-DRIVE (Deep-tech Research, Innovation, Value generation & Entrepreneurship).
