Building Moonshots In today's rapidly evolving world, many industries have experienced disruption or are on the cusp of one. While organisations often discuss the importance of innovation and disruption for growth, it's not uncommon to find ourselves defaulting to familiar patterns and maintaining the status quo. To thrive amidst this change, businesses of all sizes must adopt strategic foresight not as an option but as an essential strategy. Developing strategic foresight enables organizations to anticipate and proactively respond to future challenges, ensuring they remain adaptable and resilient in an ever-changing landscape. By moving beyond "business as usual" thinking and embracing innovative approaches, companies can position themselves for long-term success.

It’s like maintaining a diary for your business’s financial affairs. Picture this: Every dollar coming in and every penny going out is diligently noted and neatly organized, just like entries in a personal journal. For instance, imagine you own a small bakery. Every time a customer buys a cupcake or you purchase ingredients like flour and sugar, those transactions are recorded in your business diary. It’s a straightforward way of keeping tabs on your bakery’s financial story, making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are around 8 Tonne to 10 Tonnes of Slaughterhouse waste produced daily in the slaughter houses which perform slaughtering and dressing in limits of MYSORE Municipal Corporation. Slaughterhouse waste need significant treatment for a sustainable and safe discharge to the environment due tothe high content of organics and nutrients. Therefore, the treatment and final disposal of Slaughterhouse waste are a public health necessity. Slaughterhouse waste has become a major source of pollution in the State of Karnataka. Meat processing effluents are becoming one of the major agribusinesses concerns due to the vast amount of water used during slaughtering, processing, and cleaning of the slaughtering facilities. Slaughterhouse waste management system is very poor and several measures are being taken for the effective management of wastes generated. There are hardly any chicken stalls in the state with their own waste management systems. Scientific disposal of such waste is quite expensive and is the reason why they cannot have their own waste management system. Presently the stall owners pay people to have the waste dumped intorivers, streams, roads side etc. There are groups of people engaged in this activity. a. LAWS Slaughterhouse without waste management system will not be issued license as per the new food safety standard Act. Hotels are not permitted to buy meat from unlicensed stalls. In such a situation, a number of slaughterhouse will have to shut their shops. To avoid this, centralised poultry waste management system is the only solution. Dry rendering plants (Dehydration System) for every district will be a proper solution. b. DEHYDRATION SYSTEM The waste including the feathers undergoes process of hydrolysis by which it is cooked and broken down. Being processed under high pressure and at high temperature renders the waste free of any microbes. Cyclone separator, condenser, scrubber, ETP (Effluent treatment plant), Bio filter and chimney ensure that there is no environmental pollution. The processing of a batch takes about 4 to 5 hours and 4 such batches can be processed per day totalling to 15 Tonnes waste can be processed per day. 2.

How Do Venture Capitalists Make Decisions by Harvard & Stanford Professors: Venture Capitalists (VCs) play a pivotal role in shaping the future of innovation, funding groundbreaking startups that redefine industries. A comprehensive study led by Paul Gompers, along with esteemed colleagues from Harvard and Stanford, delves into the decision-making processes of VCs, offering unique insights into what drives their investment choices. Key Takeaways from the Study: 1) Management Over Market: VCs prioritize the management team's capabilities more than the business's market potential, highlighting the critical importance of strong leadership. 2) Strategic Deal Sourcing: Successful VCs rely heavily on their professional networks for deal sourcing, emphasizing the value of strong relationships and a solid reputation in the industry. 3) Value-Added Post-Investment: Beyond capital, VCs contribute significantly to startup success by providing strategic guidance, connecting with customers, and aiding in key hires.
