All the important stakeholders of the society came together to ensure that no one is left behind when the government imposed the lockdown to contain Coronavirus. 

Like many leading philanthropists of the nation, hotelier Suresh Nanda, Chairman of Claridges Group of Hotels, collaborated with several NGOs to ensure an adequate supply of food for the underprivileged. He is an international hotelier and serial entrepreneur, well known for his philanthropic ventures and outspokenness for the underprivileged of society.  

When the lockdown was imposed, many amongst us came together to support our migrant workers and their families. Similarly, Suresh Nanda had joined hands with South Women Association, an NGO that is engaged in providing healthy, safe, and nutritious food to our daily wagers.

He also took this as an opportunity to serve as many as possible in this unprecedented crisis. Therefore, he had also donated food items to a Delhi-based religion-spiritual organization that runs multiple charitable and philanthropic campaigns. These food items were sent to help Covid-19 hit victims.

Suresh Nanda, while commenting on the issue said, “Our hearts go out to all those who are struggling to make their ends meet during these testing times. We are trying our best to support our employees as well as the communities around us. Though the times are tough, we must help each other in every little way we can.”

Owing to the seriousness associated with the outbreak of the pandemic, he was first amongst the ones who called for an integrated social action to protect the vulnerable of the society. “It is important that we collectively take the onus of helping them in every little way that we can,” he further said.

For decades, he has been working with the Savera Foundation, which is actively working to alleviate critical social conditions for the underprivileged living in Basti of Srinivaspuri, Delhi. He has been constantly supporting free education, essential health services, and food to the impoverished. He fostered his efforts to maximize the beneficiaries through his donations with the outbreak of the pandemic.

Bank deposits, Pension Schemes, Insurance, or probably Mutual Funds – when it comes to saving money many of us stick to the basics. But how do the rich make their money? 2020 was an eye-opening experience that taught investors the importance of stable returns with risk protection measures. With interest rates dropping and financial asset valuations hitting the roof, you may be wondering if there are any offbeat investments to protect yourself from the whims and fancies of the capital markets.

When thinking of such alternatives it is imperative to avoid scams and get-rich-quick schemes. The term “crash and burn” is real, so it is important to tread with caution and seek investments that generate a stable return over a reasonable time frame.

But are there any viable investment options beyond the ones which we all already know? Yes, here are 5 unorthodox channels you could consider to make your money work for you: 

1. Buy A Business

When it comes to investing, one of the oldest and time-tested options is to directly buy out a business. It is a well-known fact that most rich people built their wealth through business interests. Buying a business outright allows you to eliminate the initial setup risk. Instead, you jump start into a revenue-generating business and can focus on improving the cash flows.

Since the pandemic hit, a flurry of deals has been listed on business for sale websites, mostly driven by the uncertainty in the market. But a savvy investor can see through the opportunity and pick up long-term businesses at beaten-down valuations.

It is important to assess your skills and interests before you venture into this. Buying a business from an industry with prior experience and one that excites you is essential to be able to grow it. This will shorten the learning curve when you take over as CEO of the company. The more you know about the industry, the more value you can add to the business.

Online platforms such as SMERGERS, BizBuySelland BusinessForSalehelp business buyers find and shortlist the best opportunities matching their requirements. You can slice and dice through the data to find the most suitable businesses which you can take over. Engaging an attorney and an accountant who is skilled in business acquisitions and similar transactions is an essential step as their expertise will be invaluable in due diligence, structuring the transaction and putting together the necessary documentation required for closing the deal. 

2) Lend on P2P Platforms

The financial markets are not linear. The difficulties that small businesses face to raise loans are exponentially higher than their larger counterparts around the world. A long and complicated application process, accompanied by frequent rejections, deter financially sound small businesses from applying for traditional bank loans.

Today there are several P2P platforms that help businesses bypass banks to raise funds from Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lenders. These types of loans are generally taken for a short period, between a few months to a couple of years, before they are repaid and are used to fund a specific business purpose. Investors have flocked to such platforms as returns range between 15-25% per annum and research shows that P2P lending can achieve 10-fold growth in the coming years. You can protect your downside by diversifying such investments into multiple businesses across locations and industries.

These P2P platforms act as pitching platforms to connect businesses with a community of like-minded individuals interested in lending. In the international market, websites such as Fundbox and Funding Societies operate whereas in India there are licensed platforms such as RupeeCircle, Faircent, etc.

3) Take up a Franchise

Franchising is fast becoming a popular investment route because it allows investors to enter the field of entrepreneurship at a lower level of risk than starting their own venture. A franchise business would generally have an established brand name with a tried and tested revenue model. Additionally, the franchise partner can expect support from the franchisor in terms of marketing, training, hiring, and operational guidelines. This format is especially convenient for working professionals who wish to add extra business income apart from their monthly salary.

The franchising sector has an overall turnover of Rs.4 lakh crore, contributing 2% to the country’s GDP. With every foreign brand lining up to capture the growing consumer class, franchising has witnessed tremendous growth of 30-35% over the last five years.

Selecting a franchise would largely depend on your interests and objectives but bear in mind to invest in a well-known brand that caters to the long-term wants of consumers. Some of the popular sectors which have seen an uptick during the pandemic include open kitchens, warehouses, pharmacies, car washes, etc. One can use platforms such as Franchise Direct, SMERGERS, Franchise India, etc to shortlist brands that meet these objectives.

4) Invest in Co-owned CRE

Most retail investors think residential properties are the only feasible real estate investments. While apartments and plots were popular ways to invest, this investment vehicle has lost its shine in the last decade and has worsened with the onset of COVID-19.

However, Commercial Real Estate (CRE) has always been a popular asset class amongst HNIs and Institutions. Especially pre-leased and tenanted which generate rent are highly sought after by the wealthy. These assets not only provide equity-like capital appreciation over the years but also debt-like fixed monthly rents which yield 7-10% post-management costs. The cherry on the cake is that it is believed by several investors to be a relatively low-risk investment as it is backed by hard assets.

Even though it is one of the most lucrative options, the average investor has always steered clear of this investment because of the large ticket size, illiquid nature, and the headache of managing the property itself. However, new age co-ownership platforms such as PropShare, Strata, etc bring together a group of investors who can co-invest with ticket sizes as low as Rs.25 lakhs and acquire premium office and commercial properties. These players also manage the property on behalf of the investors for a predetermined fee. If coughing up that amount seems impossible, REITs are a great option to explore. India has now opened up REITs, which are essentially publicly traded units of CRE properties where one can invest from ticket sizes as low as Rs.50,000.

5) Invest in Startups

Startups represent a completely new form of business driven by ideas, passion, execution, and resilience. They seek initial capital from investors, but, over the years, have the potential to grow into billion-dollar companies.

It is imperative to mention here that statistics show that 98% of startups fail. It is common knowledge that one needs to be ready to lose his or her complete investment in a startup as most of them fail. Having said that, it is not uncommon to hear about several startup investors who have generated 30x-40x over their investments. More than 500 startups have become unicorns across the world with the US, China, UK, and India leading the pack.

Accredited investors use platforms such as AngelList, LetsVenture, Tracxn, etc to find and invest in startups that demonstrate high growth potential and have some sort of competitive edges like a patent or captive customer base. The benefits of investing in a startup are not all financial. The relationship you establish with a startup can provide an abundance of knowledge, industry connections, and many times a sense of purpose for your investments.

Conclusion

If you observe carefully, many of these alternate investment options have existed since time immemorial but have never been marketed or customized for regular investors. Institutions have made the best of these options so far. With the advent of tech platforms, options have now opened up for all investors making it a level playing field. There are easy-to-use platforms that offer a plethora of options that cater to the risk and return requirements of every individual. If you are done with your regular investment options and seeking further diversification, explore these alternatives and pick the ones which you believe in, to give a boost to your portfolio. As always, investment advice comes with a word of caution, remember that the higher the return, the higher the risk, but the opposite is not necessarily true. In a utopian world, even an uninformed investor may strike gold, once, it is quite possible that someone made a killing with just one investment overnight. But any seasoned investor will tell you that investment is a disciplined long-term process where you systematically invest and diversify across several asset classes which put your money to work. While there are a few bad apples in every basket, that should not stop one from eating altogether.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing the fourth edition of ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ on Wednesday after the rising coronavirus cases across the country. The annual interaction will likely take place at 07:00 am tomorrow, the PM informed.

“A new format, several interesting questions on a wide range of subjects, and a memorable discussion with our brave #ExamWarriors, parents, and teachers. Watch ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ at 7 PM on 7th April,” Narendra Modi tweeted.

The programme will be aired on TV channels and digital media in Hindi and other major Indian languages. As the nation approaches the end of the state-mandated 21-day lockdown, a lot of rumors have been overflowing about a possible extension.

The consensus, based on a meeting between Prime Minister Modi and the Chief Ministers of different states, stated that the country may have to stay at home for two more weeks due to the rising coronavirus outbreak that has claimed over 300 lives and infected more than 9,000 people.

Significant metros and state capitals like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Gurgaon, Bhopal, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Bengaluru, which have seen a high number of cases, are probably not going to perceive any significant relaxations.

While numerous states including Punjab, Odisha, Telangana, and Maharashtra have effectively extended restrictions till the month’s end, there has been no such course from the Central government yet. 

With the Champions of Runeterra coming near you to India through LoL: Wild Rift, here are a few key points you should know before they arrive! LoL: Wild Rift was recently released in the Americas, both North and South, and oh boy! The hype is real! The log-in queue in the Americas reached almost 1 million. Wild Rift’s rating jumped from 3.8 to 4.3! With the release in the Americas, India is sure to come really soon!

Unique Champions

If you have played League of Legends on desktop/PC, you should know that a couple of our beloved champions have been redesigned to fit mobile gameplay! Some examples are, Lux’ Ultimate Ability (Judgement.png) is now a global ultimate – meaning it reaches until the other edge of the map; Ashe’ Ultimate Ability (Enhanced Crystal Arrow.png) can be steered; Katarina’s Death Lotus allows her to move while hailing a flurry of blades. Instead of unlocking the Ultimate Ability on Level 6, Wild Rift champions get theirs in Level 5.

Free Rune System

Unlike other MOBAs in the mobile gaming stores, Wild Rift’s rune system is completely free! You don’t have to spend a single in-game currency to unlock runes that will aid you on the battlefield, instead will be quickly unlocked when leveling up.

LoL players should note that many existing runes in PC do not exist in Wild Rift. On top of that, Kleptomancy has a different passive than that in PC, wherein you get a random item passive every 20 seconds after using an ability.

In-Match Warding System

Wild Rift is one, if not the only, mobile MOBA that has a ward system wherein players either carry around free totem wards (give vision) or an oracle lens (a drone trinket around the player’s champion can be used to destroy totem wards or traps). A totem ward is given to the player every 120 seconds, and can only carry up to 2 at a time, or 1 control ward that goes on cooldown for 75 seconds after being used. It should be noted. On top of this, there are 4 Scyer Bloom’s located on the map, that when destroyed – give temporary vision to a large cone area opposite to the direction it was damaged.

Active Items

Unlike its PC counterpart, you can only have one active item in Wild Rift, such as Zhonya’s Hourglass (puts your champion in a stasis; invulnerable to any damage or crowd control), Quicksilver (cleanses all crowd control for X seconds, but can not be used while the champion is knocked-up), and more. Active items are locked behind the 5 available movement boots in the game as a tertiary upgrade; basic boots > upgraded boots > active item with upgraded boots’ passive.

Only Five Roles

Contrary to other mobile MOBAs, Wild Rift follows the classic team line-up: Solo/Baron Laner, Mid Laner, Jungler, and the Duo Lane (Marksman + Support). Marksmen in WIld Rift will suffer greatly if they choose to go as a jungler on the battlefield, as their potential will be overwhelmingly less impactful, and other champions other than the dedicated jungler trying to take jungle camps will face the consequences by being dealt unexpected amounts of damage. You can find our Role guide on our website! (Link here)

CONCLUSION

For your “Too Long; Didn’t Read”, here is your bullet-pointed list of things to know about Wild Rift before it releases in India:

• Minor Champion Redesigns to fit Mobile Gameplay
• Free Rune System
• Having vision around the entirety of the map
• Renewed Active Items system + Boot System
• Only Five Roles

That’s it from us here, feel free to share our article and website with your friends and teammates, as we also provide other information such as who are the best champions in the current meta, in-depth guides into each champion, beginner guides, and much more valuable information to maximize your effectiveness in the Rift!
