Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace, driven by a new digital economy. Companies across sectors are keen to become more efficient, disruptive, and differentiated, by using new technologies and supported by an ecosystem of customers, partners, and technology leaders. New-age technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Blockchain, Machine Learning, 3D printing, and IoT are gaining more and more importance and acceptance.
India has all the ingredients in place to leverage this innovation and technological advantage in the long run, including university graduates, public institutes and corporates. However, India’s gross expenditure on R&D as a proportion of GDP (GERD) is less than 0.7% as of 2014-15 and within this, the share of industry is just 30%. Further, the vast SME sector needs to scale up technology infusion for higher productivity.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Introduction
Start-up is the magnetic tool of the Indian entrepreneurs to taste the sweetest portion
of the business. This might be reflected in the emerging growth of the start-up in upcoming
years of the Indian economy. In the competitive globe, technopreneurs are playing the
dominant role to rule the global markets with tremendous achievements. With the support of
science and technology, the business minded peoples are innovating some curious and
practical products and initiating the same in their business, trying to satisfy the customer
needs. These predictable talents make them to the ultimate in the business league. It clearly
shows that, India travels in the right vision to achieve the top most in global economic
competition. Creating awareness and giving proper guidance to the youngsters are not enough
to face the great battle, instead of that the supporters like the training centres, educational
institutions, corporate companies, small and middle firms should contribute somewhat they
expects and build a friendly bridge with the young start-up environment.
The present era entirely turns its vision on the start-ups of the nation. Start-ups are the
only key players that can change the entire economic history of the nation. India also seeks
the best way to meet the world-wide competition and the past few years, India makes some
remarkable changes in its corporate policies to improve the number of industries in the nation

2. technical oriented entrepreneurs and giving them a suitable guidance and practices to mould
the creativity mind of the young talented people. It may reproduce the skills and abilities of
the technopreneurs to generate vigour added new technical products and services; and also
they can eradicate the existing products with some technically advanced thinking.
Start-up India, the ruling party of the nation announced this scheme in the beginning
of the year 2016. This scheme grasps lot of freedoms to the entrepreneurial pitch. It includes
tax benefits, easy patent rights, relaxation of norms, financial assistance to the fresher,
incubating centres for the creative thinkers etc., The Indian government is setting a right path
and plans to construct an online gateway and mobile apps to share the messages and

Start-Up
In general, start-up is a young concern which could be an entrepreneurial attempt.
Solid or provisional organisation designed to create some better turnover with nominal

3. earnings or profit. It may be a dynamic company built on technology and innovation wherein
the founders attempt to capitalize on developing a product or service for which they believe
there is a demand (Debaprosanna Nandy, 2016).
In government’s point of view, the meaning of start-up may differ and it formulated
that, Start-up is an entity (Private Limited Company or Registered Partnership Firm or
Limited Liability Partnership) shall be considered as “Start-up”. The organisation should
come under 5 years from the date of its registration. The total turnover (turnover as under the
Companies Act, 2013) of the organisation should never cross 25 crore of Indian rupees in all
five financial years. The organisation might be working towards innovation, expansion,
distribution and fascination of new products and services composed by science and
technology. The organisation should not be a combination or renovation of a business already
in the society. A proprietorship or a public limited company is not eligible as start-up
(Ministry of Commerce and Industry, 2016). Only private limited company is allowed to be
accepted as a 'start-up'.
Multiple indicators point to the fact that this eco system is not only undergoing rapid
evolution, but is also becoming increasingly attractive. Various central and state government
start-up initiatives are further supporting this progressive phase of start-ups in India. This
maturing start-up ecosystem is contributing to the Indian economy in multiple ways. In

The techno based entrepreneurs leads our Bharat nation to the third largest start-up
hub in the world. India took nearly fifteen years to attain this memorable achievement. India
holds another record that the average start-ups age is twenty eight years and this is the least
when compared to others. From the whole, only 9 per cent of the start-up is shared by our
women entrepreneurs and this was wiped out and it grows approximately 50 per cent of the
start-up shared by the women in the last twelve months. More than sixty per cent of job
opportunities will be generated by the small and medium sized industries between 1993 and
2013. Authorised register shows that nearly 85,000 employments were provided by the start-
ups in the year 2015 and it will be increased to 2,50,000 in the year 2020. With huge rise in
the number of start-ups in India, more employment opportunities are being generated.
The sum of tech start-ups are expected to increase from 4,400 in 2015 to 11,500 in
2020. The government and the concerned ministry joins together and commencing more
initiative programmes for the start-up success. For the welfare of the start-up more
inducement programmes and financial assistance were announced by the government. Over
the intention, nearly 4300 start-ups are identified in the techno based start-ups. Majority of
the start-up plans and programmes with the investors are from the metro cities like Chennai,
Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi. In this contest, Bangalore holds the most number of start-ups
in the additional years. So, the government plans to increase the number of incubation
centres, technology parks, research institutes and start-up hubs in the metro cities and its
surroundings.
Benefits to Technopreneurs
The start-up action plan keenly comes forward to reduce the burden of monitoring the
start-ups in initial stage. The ministry allowing the start-up to focus on their primary business
with eagle view. In favour of the start-up, the government launches many motivating schemes
and relaxing the judicial rules and norms. Start-ups are permitted to self-certification based
agreement and they have received the complete freedom from labour inspections for three
years. These relaxations are particularly beneficial to those start-ups who are committed in
the manufacturing sector.
Exemption from capital gain tax will be granted to start-ups. Start-ups will also be
exempted from income-tax for a maximum period of three years in the life of five years, if
they are registered between 1.4.2016 and 31.3.2019. Patent application of start-ups would be
fast-tracked and would be eligible for 80% rebate of the statutory filing fees. Government
will also appoint a panel of facilitators to assist in filing and disposal of the IP registration
applications filed by start-ups. The ministry takes necessary actions to implement the best
online portal for e-filing and also plans to introduce mobile applications in a pretty mode.
Government will set up incubators across the country in public private partnership,

doing business, 133rd on the ease of trading across borders and157th on the ease of paying
taxes. India is ranked 155th in case of starting a business. On an average, Indian businesses
need to make 33 tax payments annually with around 243 hours spent to prepare and pay taxes
in a year. In contrast, China requires just nine tax payments annually, while the US doesn’t
trouble its taxpayers more than 11 times annually for tax payments. (Start-up India - An
Overview) Among South Asian economies, India makes the biggest improvement in business
regulations and increasing its distance to the extreme boundary.
The Indian culture has broken in people to look down upon failure. Entrepreneurship
is often about failing and learning from those failures and starting all over again. People need
to start accepting failures and allow second chances. Most originators of failed start-ups feel
that, lack of guidance and mentorship is a major reason for their failure. An important factor
lies behind failures and less growth of some organisations is the lack of quality adviser,
especially in terms of industrial knowledge and support. The subject of awareness should be
more evaluated on the environmental issues with their clients.
