Anil starts his own Restaurant – Northern Route.

Celebrity Chef Paul Prudhomme once quoted “I’d like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.”
Northern Route, a quaint little restaurant tucked away in the busy by lanes of St.Marks road, Bangalore (14, St. Marks Road 8, St. Marks Plaza, Bangalore, Karnataka 560001, phone: 080 65681119)  started its operations on a similar belief and that is to serve the delectable cuisines of the North at affordable prices without comprising on the authentic taste or quality what so ever! A much needed relief for our worn taste buds which have so gotten used to the tested and failed tasteless solutions available in every corner of our city.

Started by an ex CFO of an IT company, Anil ventures out into his golden years with a vision to deliver the best of the North Indian cuisine at unbelievable prices to the food craving souls of the south. Here’s an excerpt from the candid interview over a sumptuous Chola Bhatura meal.

I am a chartered accountant by profession; my family being from the armed forces.

What factors helped you in deciding to start your own restaurant?

I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and was determined to do something for the corporate

where they could get good value for money and food so decided to bring in authentic North Indian food in the South Indian market.

What steps did you take in realising your dreams?

It took me 6 months to find a suitable location but my persistence and determination finally paid off.

How did the course at iReboot help you?

It gave me an insight to restaurant business; the mentor’s experience helped me tremendously as we got to experience the workings of 5 star backend kitchens as part of the workshop.

What were the hiccups you faced along the way?

Finalizing the location, getting the right architect, language barriers and lethargic attitude of the labourers took me 3 months to set up the restaurant.

How did the name Northern route come about?

It is cuisine related pointing towards the North. On a similar note i want my revenues always go upwards i.e. point to the North!

What has been the audience response so far to the restaurant?

It has been great as I have repeat customers who have become friends now.

To start another one without comprising on quality and quantity.

Be sure about your interior designs, designers and the restaurant location.

Describe in one word or sentence what this restaurant means to you – My bread and butter!

Reasons why I hate my job !

Last time we talked about a few cases of people who chose an altogether different career or made their own paths though remaining in the same industry. Some turned entrepreneurs while others turned back towards school, in search of more knowledge and hence finding out what they actually love in life. But can all of us do the same ? I guess not. It’s difficult to opt of a standard job and start your firm, and not everyone choses that way. More importantly not everyone likes or can afford to put, career or better said, the “source of income” at risk! Neither can everyone go back to college and pursue a course which doesn’t coordinate with their previous education (even though that education solves no purpose, yet we are afraid to change our line of education, social pressures primary reason).

So what do we do in that scenario. Put our heads down and just believe that this is what I will be doing the rest of my life even though I hate it ! Not a good option either, then what else can we do ?

Let’s discuss a bit on this question. Have you ever tried to find out why do I hate my job ? Surveys state that more than 90% of the people leave their jobs because of their bosses/managers! That’s a high number I guess but the bottom line is that that’s a fact. Do we really hate the job profile or we hate our company? Our we fed up of the restrictions imposed ? Are we irritated by our managers behaviour ? Is it that we are working very hard but my team does not appreciate me and as a result I get annoyed ? Is the dirty office politics that’s what is causing me trouble ? Has my repetitive work made me think I hate it ? Maybe my job profile is very good, a dream profile, but the environment has made it impossible for me to work, hence I may be feeling that this is not the correct job altogether ? There may be numerous reasons why we hate our jobs but do we workout to find out the problem itself ? let alone the solution ! No, is the answer to that.

The moment we stop enjoying our jobs or office timings, we start thinking or rather saying, “I hate my job” or “this profile is not for me“. But did we sit down and think what is making me say that? A person very good in programming is given the similar job to be done over and over again. How long will he enjoy that, but that doesn’t mean that he hates coding. It’s just getting repetitive has made him feel so. He loves his work after all.

Similarly there me hundreds of reasons for you to not like your job, the verdict is relax, sit down and try to figure out, who knows maybe you seriously are in the wrong industry and need to shift focus before it’s too late. What we’d suggest is rather share your problems with us, in the comments section below, and let’s try to find out what the real problem is. If you are not comfortable, you may avoid writing your real name.

“Love my Job” Interview : Sidhanta Patnaik

Today, I spoke to Sidhanta Patnaik, who was the man behind all Nike events in India since quite some time apart from a few corporate events. In this interview, Sidhanta gives insights about his job, career, difficulties faced and how he dealt with them in order to do what he loves to do. I fired in 10 straight questions at Sidhanta and here are his answers :

I love my job

1. Are you happy with your current job?

Job! That’s a new word. Till date I have never got into a scene where I have had to do a job. Every day I have just done what I love to do and because I have followed my heart, I can remember most of my days that I have spent at my work place.

2. What is the best part about your job and what do you love most?

I like everything about my profession. In my 21 months of stay at my present work place, I have boarded a flight 55 times and have visited 13 new cities across the country hence building an India wide network. Every day is a new day. You never know what is next!

3. What is your dream for life?

Dreams are meant to be pursued. Let’s all continue pursuing them and not talk about it.

4. I have read somewhere that you wanted to be a cricketer, since that was not fulfilled did you choose this field specifically to remain close to cricket?

Cricket is my passion and I grew up in a surrounding where Cricket was the only thing that was discussed or did. In my locality we had 10 playgrounds and it was only Cricket that was played there. I organised my first Cricket match when I was in Class 3. It was a section match and I still remember the score of that match. I opened the innings and remained unbeaten on 6(Laugh). Since then there has been no looking back and I kept on deriving happiness by organising tournaments. I always asked myself how I can make Cricket my career and today I have found an answer though there is still a long way to go. It’s just the beginning and there are lots of tasks to be done before I actually reach there.

5. Event management does not seem familiar to many people, especially with the people of our parent’s age, what did your parents say when you said you want to pursue a career/course in event management?

I was sitting at my aunt’s place in Bangalore in 2002 when the moment of Eureka happened to me. That was my first year outside home and I was watching TV and a television commercial on an event captured my imagination. I could relate that advertisement to my skills and that day it was decided. When I called my dad and said about my choice of career, he asked me to come back to Bhubaneswar and start a tent house instead of wasting time and resources in Bangalore. But today when he sees me in my profession, he can’t stop from smiling and feeling happy. 2002 to 2009 has been a great transition phase for event management as an industry. Today we are an integral part of the experience business that everyone is talking about.

6. How did you convince him when he made fun of your thought about the career you chose?

There was no need to convince him. He always had belief in my intentions and capabilities and if your parents see that confidence in you, they have to just be the facilitators and roads will keep opening automatically.

7. Did you get the desired profile straightaway when you joined Wizcraft?

It is a very wrong way to judge a task by it’s profile. It is my personal opinion. What matters is intent. If your intent is right, roads open up and from one task you move to another and slowly you get to do what you want to do. This way the journey becomes much more satisfying as you value what you get. My journey in Wizcraft has been pretty much like this.

8. How did you craft your way to that position and how long did that take?

I can just say that I was there at the right place at the right time. However to be there one needs to work hard and hard and hard!!! There is no two way about it.

9. What are your long term goals? And what would be your next step to approach those?

Hmmmmm!!! Long terms goals!!! Tough one to answer. There are so many things that I want to do. But at the same time I know I am just one individual. For me to achieve what I want to achieve, it is very important that I get the right team wherever I go. Goals keep changing. The more you dedicate yourself to a task, the bigger your goal becomes. We started our schooling career keeping a goal of passing class 10th and then 12th and then degree and then masters. Today those things look so small. So it is a step by step process and at every step you need to keep reviewing your stance. Sachin Tendulkar never aimed at scoring more than 80 centuries in international cricket but he is right there at the top now. We all saw his career grow year by year, step by step.

10. What is your advice to the people who know they are in not in the best jobs but are carrying it for money? How do you suggest they come out of it and make a better career and life for themselves?

If you look at this question, I am actually a no one to give any advice to anyone. I have just started my career. As for me I can say when it comes to money or dreams, it is an individual choice that one needs to make. Everyone can’t be lucky. The world runs on the lines of commitment management and to meet those commitments money becomes so important. But again if you don’t enjoy your life how will you give your best to all the commitments that surround you? It actually takes some time (days, months, years) to recognize what you truly love to do. That moment may come anytime. The faster it comes the better it is. But for that moment to come, you need to keep thinking about it. The more you think the more you become clear inside your head and slowly and steadily the right kind of displacements start happening around you and finally one day you realize that time has come to move on to the next step in life.

Sidhanta was an event-manager at Wizcraft International and recently quit to pursue a master’s course in Sports Management from UK. To know more about him read this.

Event Management Workshop : Cash back Contest

Hey there all you great people, I have some good news and some bad news. Umm… let’s go with the Bad news first, obviously. The twitter campaign has been postponed for the next workshop for the sole reason of the workshop now not very far away (3 days and we are on). I know some of you who read the last post must have been waiting for this but I guess, you just have to wait a little longer till we announce our next workshop.
Well, so what’s the good news ? It’s that we are still giving you cash back of your registration fees ‘IF’ you manage to get some one along. Ok, let me be clear. The contest says :

Whoever brings in the most number of referrals to the workshop, gets the cash back for his/her registration fees.

Simple, isn’t it ? So if you get 2 people along, you pay for 2 and attend 3, that’s assuming that no one gets more friends than you. I guess a great opportunity and I must tell that this might be a one time offer. It’s for the first time and who knows might be the last time as well. So just call up your friends and get them along. And by the way, if you haven’t read the details about the event, you can read everything from your mentor Sidhanta to the workshop details about it here. Also, you might be interested in the success story of previous event and it’s pics here.

Event Management Workshop : 21-22 August ’09

Not long ago, June 13-14, we organized an Event Management Workshop which was a runaway success. Point to be noted here is that we count Success as a measure of the learnings taken by the participants. What we learnt, did we actually implement it anywhere ? Or was it like any other office or college training that eventually turns out to be a boring lecture. Well, not so in this case as our mentor Sidhanta was excellent in not only keeping the participants engrossed till the end of the workshop, he also succeeded in getting them along to actually do a live event. I won’t tell much about the previous workshop as you can read it here along with the pics here. Nor will I tell you about the event as the preparation is still underway and you will see what good the participants gained when they actually organize that event. But yes what we will tell you something which we could not tell you last time around.
There are two things which a lot of people asked prior to the previous workshop which we want to share. First is about our mentor Sidhanta. Well, to be very true I don’t want to speak much for the sole reason that whatever I speak, I will be understating his skills. Such is his stature. So what I decided instead was that why not share with you a few pics of his and very briefly tell about his work. After all

Actions Speaker Louder Than Words

So here is Mr. Sidhanta Patnaik from Wizcraft International :

Sidhanta at the IPL

• Successfully completed handling the Kings XI Punjab (Punjab IPL Team) in IPL Season 1, handled right from naming till the team played it’s last match of the IPL 1st edition ’08
• The Nike Indian Cricket Team New Jersey Launch – February ’09
• The Manchester United Jersey Launch in India (Delhi and Mumbai) August ’09
• Corporate Events for Companies like IBM Maruti Suzuki, Airtel etc.
• The Sunfeast Bangalore 10K RUN Nike Lounge
• and the list goes on ….

Sidhanta at the Nike Team India New Jersey launch (Background has ex-cricketers Robin Singh and L Sivaramakrishnan)

Phew! See I said na, if I write something about him, I would be understating. So get ready for the thrill as action begins on 21 August at the iReboot Complex.
The other thing I wanted to share with you guys was what all will we be able to learn. To put it in short : EVERYTHING
He will tell right from what the industry is like, how glamorous it is or is it really as it looks from the outside. The ups and downs, how to go about it, how to start, how to proceed, skills pre-needed and skills to be incorporated as you go along. He’ll discuss about the industry from the backstage, where does the event management industry stand now, what are the future prospects, recession and/or no recession, it’s effects. About the work Sidhanta would share each and every step involved in working out for an event, a step by step approach. The nature of the work, the effects and side effects, the industry infrastructure, the money involved, and I don’t know what because you must have understood, it’s Everything. Oh yes, he will even tell you about the leadership qualities you need to incorporate, and even marketing, advertising and promoting your events. Phew, so much in two days?? And guess what I still feel I am missing some of the things. Exhaustive but truly worth every bit of your money if you plan to attend. I guess enough knowledge about the workshop.

Sidhanta at IBM Corporate event giving away prizes

Though I guess enough gyan but still you are free to ask more, drop them into the comments section or mail@ireboot.in Or just pick up your cell and call @ 9886295353.
Oh by the way, you can participate in the iReboot Twitter Contest and win yourself a free entry to the workshop. Watch the next blog entry for details.

Dream big, The earth’s the limit : Live your Dreams : Part 3

Murthy at the 140conf

Dream big. The earth’s the limit! That’s what Mahesh Murthy, CEO Pinstorm has to say.

Coincidentally the third person to feature in our series of Live your Dreams is also a person who has never completed formal education. The last two being Sachin Tendulkar, who never completed school and Steve Jobs, who dropped out of college.

Mahesh also features in the top 20 list of Most Successful Dropouts from College in History.

Mahesh, got into engineering but 3 semesters (18 months) into the course, he chose to drop out. So why did he drop out ? As is the case with most of us, coming from middle class families, having studied maths and science, we are told that there is no other choice than become an engineer. That’s what happenend with him as well.  And like all of us do, somewhere down the line loose interest in the subjects we are being taught and can’t figure out why we are doing it. But there was one thing different in Mahesh from the rest of us and that was, yes you got it right,  Guts!

All or probably 99% of us cannot do what he did, drop out of college and start selling vacuum cleaners that too door-to-door. In the process he also got discarded from his family, quite natural to happen. But that did not stop him, he was destined for bigger things. He moved into a hotel paying Rs.50 a night, the money he had earned from his NTSE scholarship. He sold vacuum cleaners, then starting a cleaning company Vaclean, but after failing in both he finally joined an advertising company. Since then there’s been no lookingback. Mahesh’s traveled placed, done the UI’s for Yahoo and Amazon, worked for Ogilvy and and a few other firms before finally settling in Mumbai with Pinstorm.

Pinstorm is a unque pay click advertising company which has worldwide operations and consists of offices in India, Malaysia, Singapore, China and US. That’s not the end he also owns a VC funding company called Seedfund through which he has mentored and funded 10 Indian startups and 3 US based ones. Some of his funded companies include Geodesic, Webdunia, EasyBuy, CareerLauncher, Tulleeho, Redbus etc.

His advertising company, Pinstorm, has been selected by Red Herring (magazine) to their list of Asia’s 100 Hottest companies for 2008. Mahesh has become a guru in this field and is often been invited to conferences and summits around the world. He also is a strong believer that only those who wish to become academicians or go in research should go for studying hard. The rest, should just scramble through the exam and in the meantime “Follow your Heart“.

We’ll end with words from the man himself :

No one knows anything, least of all any supposed management guru or consultant or expert. You can discover your own rules and create your own playing field. And dream big. The earth’s the limit.

Have a “Dream to Reality” real life story, why not share with us. Drop in the comments section, we’ll contact you and who knows you may win yourswlf a gift!

Deccan Herald covers iReboot

Deccan Herald Covers iReboot

Deccan Herald Coverage :

By Jaunet G

The frustration of being stuck at the wrong job, while your heart yearns to pursue something else, matches no other. But yet, many find it difficult to make that decision to quit and follow their dreams. The reasons for the hesitation could range from financial constraints to doubts over whether their ‘dream job’ is indeed the right one for them. A new venture started by two former techies aims at addressing just this.

iReboot, the brain child of Arun Mathew and Mukta Darera, ‘is a life orientation company that is involved with trying to give wings to others’ dreams.’ Says Mukta, “The company I was a part of was a dream company for me with a great work culture. But at some level I felt that it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life – it was not fulfilling enough. I wanted togive my dreams a chance, so I just took the plunge.”

She adds that through the course of her job, she came across people who had dormant dreams and were frustrated that they were not getting a chance to pursue their passion. “I constantly heard lines like ‘I want to be an RJ’, etc and these individuals never had an idea of what it takes. Since many were working professionals with financial commitments,
they could not experiment. At some level, this reflected on their workplace performance as well.”

This led to the birth of iReboot with the intention of giving people an opportunity to learn and pursue their passion and at the same time hold on to their jobs – the one which pays for their lifestyle and loans. So it serves a dual purpose and also becomes a risk free opportunity.

So what does iReboot exactly do? The concept is simple. It gets a person to relate what profession they would like to opt for and then allow them to actually experience what it is like by linking them up with a mentor in that particular field. Two or three-day workshops are also organised that would give the enrollee a feel of the job. The founders believe that this will help them make an informed decision about whether they would really want to pursue the career.

The road so far

Mukta says that the progress has been very good and the response has been phenomenal. They have been  approached by several students, who are pretty clueless about what to do, and several working professionals, who feel trapped and bored in their work.

“With the outsourcing industry booming, many people haven’t made active choices about their professions. The lure of fast and quick money soon dies out. You can’t do what you don’t like for five days a week and then compensate for it over the weekend. In fact, most seem to have adjusted to the frustrations of their jobs to such an extent that they barely recognise themselves,” she remarks.

Post iReboot, the founders say, there have been many who have taken their passion to the next level, and there have also
been those who said: “This is really not my cup of tea” and gone back to their workplace feeling really happy for having tried.

Interestingly, people from varied walks of life and age groups have enrolled with iReboot. Mukta says that their youngest enrollee has been a 8-year-old and the oldest, a 56-year-old. “Working professionals, housewives, entrepreneurs, students, people on a sabbatical – I have had them all,” Mukta says.

Among their forthcoming workshops are: ‘Learn all about stock markets and trading’, ‘Wildlife photography boot camp’, ‘Discover the travel writer in you’, ‘Learn to be a voiceover artist/RJ/MC’, ‘Start a cafe/restaurant’, ‘Learn event management’. All these are
weekend workshops for both students and working professionals who get time off only on weekends.

What does it take to play with money !

Unpredictability attached with stock markets make it very difficult for a common man to invest his hard earned money and that should not come as surprise. A newbie, unskilled and an illiterate of stock market  can never be at par with a skilled and experienced analysts. But a bit of acquired knowledge and proper implementation can set a path from where they excel in right direction.

Investing in stock market needs more than just skills. One should have temperament and patience with an ability to play around with numbers. Investing is not a way to become an overnight millionaire but a planned strategy to get return on your analysis.

Its important for oneself to be updated about the company in which he is invested and also about economy as a whole.Investing should be seen as being a part of that company. Profit and loss of that company would effect your  profit and loss too.Investing  gives best result when seen as a business than a  part time arrangement of money.

Risk taking ability of a person is also an important factor. Risk can never be eliminated from stock market but there are ways in which we can lower our risk considerably. During time of slump there may be very less opportunity to earn but an intelligent investor uses this opportunity to make his fortune out of doom.

The worlds most successful Investor in History

Investing is not only about making money but a test of your ability to analyse a situation, find a conclusion based on analysis, setting your acts right and then having faith in yourself to stick with your decision at adverse times. Most people fail on last part. Ability to look deep into the root cause makes you stand apart from others on Dalal Street. One should do lot of analysis and stick to his results and should never get carried away with circumstances or with ideologies of other investors.

According to a survey 80% of small investors are always at loss in stock market. It is very clear that small investors are at loss because of lack to proper knowledge. For a small investor stock market is a gamble but with little knowledge this gamble can be changed into fruitful investment strategy where investor would be aware of basic tactics through which he can keep his investment in safer zone.

Nobody can ever be accurate on wall street(or Dalal street) but right approach with right knowledge can distinguish you from others. Even Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet failed to anticipate the price to stocks many times but focused and strategic approach made them best investors in history.

Learn the ABC’s of Stock Trading

The stock market is a great place for people to either make or lose money by buying a share, or part of a company. This of course is a risky business, but the pay offs could be huge if they choose correctly. There are different markets and different stocks to trade, that we will all get into later. This is just a basic rundown about what all of this stock stuff is about. If you’re confused, stick with me and lets go through this together.

First a few basics:

Stock – a share of stock means ownership in a company; how much ownership depends on how many our bought.

Broker – the agent who buys and sells stocks on behalf of others.

A stock trader or a stock investor – is an individual or firm who buys and sells stocks or bonds (and possibly other financial assets) in the financial markets.

How did it all start?

I’m sure one of the first questions you think about when thinking about the stock market is “how did it all begin”? Well that’s what this section is all about.
Back in the early times, when we were growing and needed more goods from little things like tools to larger things like boats. However companies needed to have money to make all these products, so they began to sell shares of their business to very rich people. Some of these rich people we call investors, gathered in streets (that is why it is called Wall street and Dalal Street) and began trading shares amongst themselves. The goal was to buy low and sell high.

Some of these men became brokers and started selling share for other investors.

What is the Sensex and Nifty?

What Does Sensex Mean? An abbreviation of the Bombay Exchange Sensitive Index (Sensex) – the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It is composed of 30 of the largest and most actively-traded stocks on the BSE. Initially compiled in 1986, the Sensex is the oldest stock index in India.

What Does Nifty 50 Mean? The 50 stocks that were most favored by institutional investors in the 1960s and 1970s. Companies in this group were usually characterized by consistent earnings growth and high P/E ratios. The nifty-50 stocks got their notoriety in the bull markets of the 1960s and early 1970s. They became known as \”one-decision\” stocks because investors were told they could buy and hold forever. Examples of nifty-50 stocks included General Electric, Coca-Cola, and IBM. However, part of this list included companies that have been troubled in the last decade, such as Xerox and Polaroid.

So you’ve learned about stocks, learned about the markets, gotten some good information … so now you’re ready to pick a stock eh?

But wait, what are the things to look out for before investing in stocks?

We suggest, you do a structured class room session with us – learn from some of the best people in the industry.

The course is designed such that you learn and practice hands on- in the stock market. Of course, we will hold your hand throughout, so that you can bank of the wisdom that comes through the experience of our expert mentors.

Send an email to mail@ireboot.in or call 9663857828 for details.
