Laxmi Vilas Bank - Finally the suspense ends
Indiabulls Housing Finance. Rejected.
Clix Capital. Lost.
Not giving an answer sometimes is also an answer.
Finally, DBS India will get close to 650+ branches of the Chennai based bank.

Large NBFC? - Become a Bank now
RBI rolled out a new report citing reasons for the need for more banks in the country.
We’ve seen the whole gamut of schemes and plans - Small Finance Bank, Payments Bank, On - tap licensing etc. rolled out in the past, not to much avail.

Desk Productivity need not be expensive
I was going through a few table lamp options when someone suggested me to go for the Dyson Lightcycle. Well, for the uninitiated, it’s a 40k desk lamp.
Yes - INR 40,000.
And it’s the fanciest lamp you can ever get your hands on. Here’s the trailer.
The desk lamp has a trailer.
Thanks to Amazon and some ingenuity, I asked myself - there has to be a cheaper, reliable and an Indian version to this.
Boy, I was in for a surprise.
Here’s what I found.
The Wipro Lamp, powered by LED and USB Power!
Just 38,500 cheaper than the Dyson Lightcycle. And there’s 6 more ambient lights too, for the night-time party.
Sweet deal no?

Book of The Week
In this week’s webinar, I had the opportunity to host Saurabh Mukherjea and Anupam Gupta, authors of The Victory Project.
We extensively discussed a lot on almost 15-20 books - the central theme being reading voraciously to develop first-principles thinking.
(Links to the books are in the YouTube video description.)
So what is first-principles thinking?
Ayush and Rahul have done a phenomenal job in collating an exhaustive guide. It’s free and you can access it here.
The book of the week is Originals by Adam Grant. Saurabh swears that this a great starting point to stimulate creative thought.
