Today, Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO, Zomato, shares his expectations from the nominees. Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO, Zomato "I will be looking for a growth mindset in this year's nominees. A common misconception in entrepreneurship is that it is inherent, innate and unchangeable to an individual - you either have what it takes to be an entrepreneur or you don't. I fundamentally disagree with this fixed mindset theory. Ability, talent and skills to be entrepreneurial are learnable, and can be developed and achieved through efforts. Someone with this growth mindset will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed, thereby making every challenge a learning opportunity. Given the numerous challenges entrepreneurs face, a growth mindset serves as a powerful tool that allows for innovation, agility, resilience and humility. Axiomatically, the category I am most looking forward to is the 'Comeback Kid', which will exemplify a growth mindset at its best. And of course, given the constant evolution in technology as well as my personal belief in serving our community with a purpose beyond profitability, I am looking forward to the potential of the nominees in the 'Top Innovator' and 'Social Enterprise' categories."

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

OSHO on Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna Enlightenment Osho : There is an episode in Ramakrishna’s life.... For his whole life he had been worshipping Mother Kali, But at the very end he began to feel,”It is duality; the experience of oneness has still not happened. It is lovely, delightful, but two still remains two.” Someone loves a woman, someone loves money, someone politics; he loved Ma Kali – but love still was divided in two. Still the ultimate nonduality hadn’t happened and he was in anguish. He began looking out for a nondualist, a Vedantist – for Some person to come who could show him the path. A Paramahansa named Totapuri was passing. Ramakrishna invited him to stop with him and asked, ”Help me to have darshan of the one.” Totapuri said, ”What’s difficult in that? You believe there are two, so there are two. Drop the belief!” Ramakrishna replied, ”But dropping this belief is very difficult – I have lived with it my whole life. When I close my eyes the image of Kali is standing there. I drown ...
