Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO, Zomato, shares his expectations from the nominees.A growth mindset, and the willingness to adapt and learn new skills, are the standout attributes that the jury at The Economic Times Startup Awards 2023 will look for. 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."

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
