Focus: Why PM Modi’s 'Gold Schemes' Are Impractical?
By NEWSCOP | INNLIVE
The Indian government has announced the gold bond and the gold monetisation schemes with great fanfare. The aim is to utilise the approximately 25,000 tonnes of gold in the country and channel them into financial savings or instruments so that annual gold imports of 800-1,000 tonnes come down.
However, as is the case with most of the government schemes, the actual rules, regulations, KYC (know your customer) requirements, capital gains and low rates of interest of 2.5% among others, are likely to make these schemes unworkable.

By LIKHA VEER | INNLIVE
The rise and rise of e-commerce in India has changed how people shop in Asia’s third largest economy.

Research into 24 large brick-and-mortar retailers in India by credit ratings agency CRISIL shows that these firms will grow at between 13% and 15% over the next two to three years.

Special Report: Are Indian 'Startups' Hiring Recklessly?
By SUMAN KAPOOR | INNLIVE
Indian technology startups have been on a hiring spree lately—thanks to easy availability of funds. But, given their business models, the huge manpower they have accumulated may soon turn into a liability. In fact, several companies are already reworking their hiring policies, and some are trimming their staff size drastically.
On Aug. 31, food ordering startup TinyOwl laid off around 100 employees at its Pune and Mumbai offices to cut costs. “The elimination of certain positions in the company have been made on a strategic level, to increase efficiency, productivity, and re-direct our diverse talent to focused departments, providing the best innovative offerings to our customers,”

'Human Sacrifice' Unearthed In TN Illegal Mining Case?
By KAVITA PILLAI | INNLIVE
The ongoing probe into a multi-crore illegal mining scam in Tamil Nadu took a bizarre twist after M Sevakodiyan, a driver who worked with PRP Granites in Madurai district’s Keelavalavu village, reported witnessing a human sacrifice by the company officials ahead of major business decisions between 1999 to 2003.
Sevakodiyan — who quit his job with PRP Granites in 2003, reportedly, out of fear — filed a fresh complaint to U Sagayam, an IAS officer appointed by the Madras High Court to head the probe.

Spotlight: The Scariest 'Tiny Mosquito' In Bastar Is Killer!
By MAYANK TIWARI | INNLIVE
"Are the women still topless,” my father asked the moment he heard I had had my first encounter with the tribal people in the Dandkaranya forest. I had hoped my father would ask me if I was safe. Perhaps being a well-informed central government retiree my father knew better. After confirming that the hotel food in Bastar was still as bad as it was three decades ago, my father quickly handed the phone to my mother who asked me if I had been to the Danteshwari temple yet?
It was my second evening in Bastar. Earlier in the day, when they saw me, tribal children ran for their life. I felt like an intruder. By now I knew that everything I had read about the place in newspapers was lopsided to the point of being ridiculous.
