According to Iraqi security officials, gunmen from the Islamic State extremist group assaulted northeast of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people and wounded six more. The attack took place in Al-Rashad, a mostly Shiite area northeast of Baqouba in Diyala province, according to officials. The details of the attack were not immediately clear, but two officials who spoke to The Associated Press claimed militants from the Islamic State group kidnapped two locals earlier and then invaded the town after their demands for ransom were not met.

They stated that machine guns were used in the attack, commenting on the condition of anonymity due to laws. They said that all of the people killed or injured were civilians. Since the Islamic State was mostly destroyed in Iraq in 2017, attacks against civilians have become rare, however the group remains active in many regions through sleeper cells. Sunni Muslim extremists continue to carry out attacks, frequently targeting security forces, power plants, and other infrastructure.

In July, a roadside bomb strike in a Baghdad suburb killed at least 30 people and injured scores more at a busy market. Twin suicide bombers blasted through a crowded market in Iraq’s capital in January, killing at least 32 people and injuring dozens more. IS was blamed by Iraqi officials for the attacks.

MYRE Capital, a tech-enabled platform that provides easy access, transparency, and liquidity to a curated selection of rent-yielding commercial real estate assets, launches its next big investment opportunity in Times Square, Mumbai.

The fractional ownership real estate platform offers an exclusive opportunity to invest in 17,816 sq. ft. of A-grade office space strategically situated in an established residential and commercial hub in Andheri East, Mumbai. The proposed area spans the entire 10^th floor of the newly constructed Tower-C in Times Square.

The entire tower is leased to Smartworks, the market leader in Managed Workspace Solutions. Smartworks has subleased the premises to Indian Financial Technology and Allied Services (IFTAS), a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) subsidiary.

In the post-pandemic world, the ‘Hub & Spoke’ model has become increasingly popular. The attractive lease terms, favourable micro market fundamentals, and the strategic asset location make it a compelling investment opportunity.

The investment opportunity offers an average yield of 10.5% and a target internal rate of return (IRR) of 13.6%. The lease tenure provided by the tenant is 5+5+5 years, totalling 15 years, which is an excellent opportunity during the Covid times. The minimum investment size for this opportunity remains at Rs. 25 lakhs per person.

Mumbai, the largest metropolitan city in India, is one of the preferred locations for MNC firms, Indian banks, financial institutions, and life sciences firms. The traction in the office area and the growth of the office market have been phenomenal in the last few years. In fact, Mumbai performed relatively better than most other cities when it came to Covid-related distress.

The property is located in one of the city’s largest commercial micro-markets. It is situated in micro-market 5, Western Suburb 1, which has seen the highest tenant absorption of 0.312 MSF owning to the affordable rentals and excellent public connectivity. With a stellar tenancy profile, high absorption, and attractive location, the micro-market presents strong fundamentals.

World Class Infrastructure

The property is strategically situated near the Mumbai Airport, with excellent connectivity to the upcoming coastal road and the Western Expressway. The micro-market is also closely connected to 5 Metro lines which are almost within walking distance.

This Gold-rated LEED-certified property is spread across 6.5 acres of land, making it a unique opportunity. Such land parcels are very rarely available in Mumbai now, given the population density and extent of urbanization. With minimal vacancy, superior connectivity, and on-premises amenities, the park has seen an uptick in new leases and renewals from tenants.

The Myre Capital office space consists of 4 towers with a total leasable area of 886,000 Sq.ft. and vacancy of 8%, which is very impressive for Mumbai, especially after two lockdowns. The reason for the low vacancy rate is the low rentals and the strategic location.

The floor plates have been designed with four sub divisible units, providing flexibility for enhanced liquidity and releasing. The columns in the floor plate are situated at the intersection of the sub-units providing better usability of the space. In the entire development, there are a few floor plates that have access to a dedicated balcony. 

A Golden Opportunity to Invest

The benefits of managed leasing include long-term tenant stability, dual protection from managed leasing partner and sub-tenant, vacancy risk mitigation, superior asset upkeep, high stickiness, and rental assurance as the managed leasing partner is responsible for the rental payment irrespective of subtenant vacancy.  

Smartworks is India’s most prominent and profitable provider of agile workspaces, serving 500+ enterprise customers. Some enterprise customers include Microsoft, Amazon web services, TATA, Samsung, Larsen & Toubro, Bacardi, Hitachi, DHL, Daikin, Swiggy, Toppr, OLX, Digit Insurance, just to name a few. Most of Smartworks customers are A+ grade tenants and large enterprises. Today, many large enterprises prefer the new managed leasing Smartworks solution, making it a very stable sub-tenant profile.

The sub-tenant, Indian Financial Technology & Allied Services (IFTAS), is a fully-owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India that designs, deploys, and provides the essential IT-related services required by the Reserve Bank of India, banks, and financial institutions. Their flagship payment products and services are a critical part of India’s financial infrastructure, connecting banking and financial institutions across the country reliably and securely. IFTAS provides vital infrastructure services to RBI, banks, cooperative societies, and other financial institutions.

Smartworks leased 600 seats to Ocwen Financial Services, one of the largest sub-leases during the lockdown. They also leased 4.5 lakh SF office space in Mumbai and Hyderabad, again during Covid.

Final Thoughts

Fractional ownership is now the smart way to own assets in modern times. It is slowly emerging in the country, giving modern investors a chance to participate in investment opportunities and avenues at a fraction of the cost. Fractional ownership is a rewarding opportunity to generate wealth, passive income, and portfolio. Since this is a relatively new concept to Indians, partnering with tech-enabled platforms can help make the process simple and hassle-free.

This highly unprecedented project of the kingdom of the God of Abraham is empowered by the revolutionary Compassionate Capitalism also known as “Grazing the Cow”, a new economic system created by the innovator King Charles N.

All positions offer remote working through the platform with occasional visits to our head office in Bangalore when required and fully paid travels to Africa also when required.

Rankpedia is a movement. A revolutionary perspective of bridging the digital divide that has crept up in the Indian education ecosystem with the EdTech boom. Rankpedia is a calling to reach out to all students in the country and across the world to provide education with world-class quality standards. It is nestled in the hands of passionate educators who have the same vision as Rankpedia. It started with a simple thought of ‘Why can’t world-class education be affordable?’. This thought embedded a seed in our mind and gave us a vision of providing education to children at an affordable price without compromising on the quality and the diversity that they deserve. We have walked on a path to deliver world-class education by integrating pedagogy and the latest technological advancements to offer the best opportunities to students.

The Managing Director and the spirit of Rankpedia, Mr. Ravi Kumar, had the vision and a passion to bring this movement into action that had the potential to make a change. Having seen both sides of the education ecosystem of the country where kids in rural areas did not have the access to basic education at affordable prices and on the other side, kids in urbanized cities having the luxury of quality education and good schools, somewhat gave him the nudge to create the change that Rankpedia focuses on i.e., Sustainability, Affordability and Reach of education to every kid of the country. Building Rankpedia on the right pillars to support this entire idea and process, he brought in three core members who would drive his vision into the actual reality of improving education availability and quality in different verticals.

Dr. Madhukar Angur, having been a seasoned educator and professor with over 40 years of experience was nominated twice for the Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year Award. In 1997, he was recognized by the Michigan Association of University Governing Boards as a Distinguished Michigan Professor. Dr. Angur holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Arlington, USA; (PGDM) from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India. He is on our advisory board to help shape out the ethos of the organization. In a new movement like ours, there are times when we need someone to show us the path and Dr. Madhukar has been the person we turn to when we need guidance.  Dr. Angur is the recipient of the David M. French Distinguished Professorship—A Lifetime Achievement Award from the University of Michigan.

Mr. A.V. Srinivas with over 20 years of experience in the I.T./ Education Industry has been the core of the organization in driving the healthy work culture at Rankpedia, looking at the overall day-to-day output to align with the goals of the company and optimize the productivity to the maximum peaks. He connects the departments within the organization to keep the brainstorming culture flowing right through the workspace. He genuinely believes in the power that educators hold and has been instrumental in making sure that the organization understands, respects the teachers and the work they do.

Mr. Karandeep Singh, The Chief Academic Officer at Rankpedia, after completing his Masters from Oxford University, PGDM from Harvard University and DELTA from Cambridge University, holds over 20 years of leadership experience in the K-12 and EdTech sector, and has been given the title of ‘The Architect of Rankpedia’. He has had a stronghold on shaping the pedagogy of Rankpedia and has also defined the experiential mode of education which creates a strong practical-based outcome assessment model. Coming from a Sound Engineering and Post-Production background, he has been able to bridge education and production in the EdTech industry to cater to the creativity and innovation for both verticals. The industry has respected his work by awarding him with ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ for two consecutive years. Having been featured in Forbes and Fortune Magazine has given him a stronghold in the Innovative Education Sector.

Being an organization with a futuristic vision, Rankpedia aligns with the National Education Policy that was rolled out in 2020 i.e., NEP enabled EdTech. At the same time, Rankpedia is expanding into verticals like E-schooling, where they would be working with renowned boards like The Cambridge IGCSE Board, Discovery Education, and American High Schools. We started with a small idea that turned into a movement and has taken shape as a tangible reality that is only going to expand and revolutionize the education culture in the country.

We are a digital-technology oriented society. The effect is such that there are countries where people do not have running. Music has an unbelievable effect on the relationships, and life habits of people. A career in Musical Line isn’t exactly the dream job that most people wish for while in school. But considering opportunities in this competitive area, you can see that a revolutionising outlook on Record Labels is given by hit artist such as Mohammad Salman Khan.

Mohammad Salman Khan is the youngest artist from Haryana, India, and is just 19 years old. He has a great portfolio of work that encompasses his numerous years of experience in music industry with superhit Bollywood singers and actor. His career history is very interesting since he has collaborated with popular figures.

As far as his life and career are concerned, he is perceptive, and thus, does not easily take his badge of being the ‘most motivational personal’. He knows that a lot of obligation comes with this recognition. That is why his thoughts and advice, whether it is his own or that of others, are often complimented by training and knowledge. He also trusts in maintaining a realistic approach to life, which in the materialistic world of today is a remarkable virtue.

The rising singer shares a few methods for other budding musical artists to kickstart their careers in the competitive industry.

There are tons of talented beings in the world across industries and sectors, and out of these, a few of them ensure to ignite the fire within others to take the first step towards fulfilling their dreams and aspirations in their careers and lives. To hold so much influence on others and attain a position that can inspire many others across the world is something a few extraordinary talents have attained. These talented beings crossed boundaries for attaining such high levels of excellence in their fields, which essentially made them inspiring figures across industries. The music space in India is filled with so many of such influential personalities, who have not only tried to create a flourishing career for themselves but have also made sure to motivate people to believe in what they do and step into the industry anyway, without fearing about the growing competition and saturation. Chetan Dhir’s name tops the list when people talk about influential success stories in the world of music.

The canorous voice of this young gentleman in the field has connected so deeply with listeners that today people feel compelled to listen to him more and get transported into a different world with him for experiencing the vibe and the emotions he wants them to feel. He followed his instincts on his journey and therefore could create the success he enjoys today as a supremely talented singer and musical artist. Below, Chetan Dhir points out a few methods that can help budding singing stars to kickstart their career in the industry.

• Believe in the power of your dreams: Some people do not take their dreams seriously, thinking they will never be able to attain them. However, Chetan Dhir wants people to first believe in their dreams and, most importantly, in themselves to get ahead on their path.
• Improve your craft: It is essential for musicians, singers and artists to understand the power of constant learnings. When people learn things every day and keep sharpening their skills and talents consistently, they go ahead in improving their craft as singers, performers and artists, says Chetan Dhir. For that, people can also get high-quality singing lessons, learn from the established names of the industry, and listen to different genres of music of different artists of the world.
• Perfect a particular genre: Becoming a singer doesn’t mean that individuals have to perfect every genre possible. Some people may be better at a particular genre. They must better their craft and become a perfectionist in the same, advises Chetan Dhir. This helps them attain expertise as well.
• Embrace criticism: The world of music is a highly competitive space, where there are thousands of talented beings. Audiences can never like each and every artist in the industry. They may always have their few favourites and some they may not like. Artists may not always receive appreciation for their work; they may be brutally trolled or criticized as well. However, Chetan Dhir suggests new talents to embrace criticism and see it in a positive light to work around those shortcomings and become better each day.

Getting into the music industry can be a tough call for many as most of them may fear the competition they may face, and some others may not be confident enough about their musical talents. But Chetan Dhir says that to reach somewhere, people need to leave their comfort zones, get on the ground to face all these challenges and practice consistently and endlessly to reach their desired success as singers and artists.
