So Surya is from our IIT Bombay PhD. So I'm extremely glad and thank you so much Surya for joining.  ITIC is the incubator in IIT Hyderabad and Surya will take over from here. Thanks Surya, please go ahead. Thank you for sir, Sakrati. In fact, I'm in, it's a pleasure joining. I will not go into details of what entrepreneurship journey is. So this will be more like listing of the data for what you can get from IIT Hyderabad, I mean the funding sources, the programs running, etc. Or I mean, your academic options, etc. is what will be my policy and policy. Okay, I mean, innovation is very generic. Okay, you can have an idea. Okay. And if you give it to an industry through IP transfer or through technology transfer, and that is happening through R and D cell, and that's typical commercialization. But if you don't want to just give it to a, I mean, a different third party, okay, but own it yourself and create a startup or create a business entity out of that idea yourself, that essentially is what we are focusing today, or I mean, in the form of entrepreneurship. Okay, so I mean, commercialization and entrepreneurship are not exactly same. Commercialization is you doing it yourself or you selling it to a company. So for example, we do a lot of R and D work for Tata Steel or Boeing or anything. Okay, that's just pure commercialization of the technology. Whereas in entrepreneurship, we are also worried about, I mean, focus is on you starting your own company or take that idea yourself or champion that idea yourself. Okay, so there are various terms you had come across and there are so many that it keeps gets confusing also, I mean, so even many of us are not clear what is the role of, I mean, entrepreneurship management department versus entrepreneurship cell or E cell and incubator and incubator, IT incubator or CFH incubator or fabulous incubator. Okay, I mean, I think so we have, I mean, and I take that as a backhand compliment, because we have so many things happening. Okay, and so many parallel things happening. I mean, you can do the same thing in multiple different manners. Okay, and I think that's essentially the whole idea here. So, but I will try to give some little rationalization based which fits here, etc. Okay, but you have E cell, you have minor academic initiatives in entrepreneurship, like in fact, the course currently perfectly fixable. You have a center in healthcare entrepreneurship. You have IT incubator, you have fabulous chip incubator, you have technology research for all this. So I think I'm in kind of all the various entities. So I'll try to make sense of this from a entrepreneurship point of view, how entrepreneurship journey begins. Okay, so one is you have an inclination, you have interest for being an entrepreneur. That's what we call as germination stage. Okay, so you get an idea or we create interest in you to be an entrepreneur in the future. Then you start learning what are the basics of entrepreneurship, what it means, what is a business plan, or what it means to convert an idea into a successful model, etc. Then you develop your own startup idea, you work on your own technological idea. After that, you create and work on the way, maybe in tandem with academics or in tandem with your incubation ecosystem.   Okay, so this is generally kind of, I mean, loosely how you can put the entrepreneurship journey. This we typically refer. Okay, so most of the ads are most of the calls for incubation, etc. also use the same terminology. So we kind of categorize them as, I guess, germination stage where you're not clear what to do, but there is an idea kind of cooking in your mind, so to say. Okay, and slowly that idea is taking shape. And then pre incubation stage is where that idea takes a more concrete form. So you're not just interested in becoming an entrepreneur, but you're also trying to figure out which company, which domain, which sector you're going to work. Okay, and in the third stage, what we call as incubation stage, after you have decided that okay, I want to be an entrepreneur. And I want to work on, for example, creating a robot or a 3d printer or a algorithm for drone control, etc. The third stage is where you start working on that product and take it to commercial level, etc. Fourth is, I mean, so where you kind of have some business traction, everything is ready. And you are finding more and more customers, you are finding more and more value addition further. And then finally, you create a successful company. Okay, so these, accordingly, are catered in by these various cells if you look at it. Okay, so the initial enthusiasm and the initial interest and how and what it means to be an entrepreneur is mostly driven by the student driven activities like ESL, etc. So a lot of activities that I, and I mean, it is completely different. So they do excellent set of workshops at hackathons, etc. for creating the interest in the minds of the students. Then you have kind of know what is it means to be an entrepreneur, what are the basics of entrepreneurship. So we have courses like my own entrepreneurship courses on entrepreneurship. Okay, and even we have recently started a guild degree program in technical entrepreneurship, etc. Then you develop your own idea with the help of, of course, academics and innovation mentors. So they also have innovation mentors from every department. There are 15 innovation mentors identified in the, for each department. So they are like, you have got a point. So any doubt, any of these things, I mean, you can of course approach any of the colleagues who are here today or any of these innovation mentors who are available for you in your respective departments or in a cross-disciplinary department, etc. Also, after all that, that's the essentially of germination skills. Then you want to kind of start the journey and initiate. So there are two ways you can do it. One is in tandem with your academics. So that means you want to get a degree out of it frankly speaking. Okay. So there is a entrepreneurship which is started dual degree program. And also he gives summer semester break for internship for incubation, etc. Also is possible. So you can actually officially take a break in your six semester you do. I think all of you know that in your six semester, you can take a semester break for doing internship. And what we are looking is that internship need not be in a third party company, but can be also in your own incubator. So the same six semester, semester break, we are looking at extending for incubation and startup related activities also. Or you mean subsequently you can take a semester break and or even a year break if depending on the analysis, I mean, there will be a committee naturally, but it is possible. Okay. So that's part from the economics point of view. Also, apart from academics, if you want to start your own incubation journey, formally, so to say, okay, then you have, you can have philosophy programs at our incubators. So CFH is there, MIT, we have a couple of grants and a couple of programs that go into these in subsequently. But for example, the nature of these grants is you just have an idea and nothing else. Okay, you can come present your idea, then the who will give you, let us say, four lakhs or 10 lakhs according to the program and according to your distinct but converting that idea into a prototype for building the prototype will give you the necessary money. Okay. I mean, so it depends. Okay, so it can be four lakhs to 10 lakhs depending on the domain.  If you're working on a physical prototype, you're creating some machine creating some entity, then we can go up to 10 lakhs also. Okay. So these are some formal fellowship programs, what we call as EIR, early entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship investments, et cetera, program. So there is even a provision in some of these programs to give you sustenance money also so that you don't just lose your salary and are not in the pressure to start earning, you can even sustain, I mean, some basic sustenance, of course. Okay, so you get money for sustaining yourself and you get money for building the prototype also in addition. Till the pre-incubation, can they do it as their thesis project for the MDS students? Right, no, no. It expects a full-time commitment. So if they are a student, not full-time, they do not get the sustenance money, but they get the prototype money. Oh, that's quite good. Yeah, yeah. Even that is very nice. Okay.  Oh, I see. Which is after their MDS program, they want to continue for another six months together. So in fact, I mean, this is mostly common for PhD students, frankly. Okay, because PhD students in their third year or fourth year come up with the idea and they think it is worth also starting a starter during their PhD or ASPART, I mean, parallel with their PhD also. Okay, the only catch is we expect no objections from the guide and the institute for any student to enter. But we are open from our side if the guide and, I mean, if the department allows, we are good. Okay, so from our side, we elevate. So they can do it parallely as part of their PhD program or as part of their master's thesis program also. Okay, so these are some schemes available formally at the pre-incubation stage. And once all that is done, once you have kind of, yes, this is my idea, this is my product, which is going to work, I would go to the market with this product. Then is when your incubation journey starts. So this is more formal now.  Okay, now the startup journey, it's no longer about a individual, it is about a company, you are expected to form a company, you are expected to register a company and share all equity, etc., etc., also come into the picture from here, this point. Okay, and our rules also facilitate that any work you do, yes, part after starting the incubation, IP also belongs to you. Okay, so it's not just, so for example, I mean, you know the typical rules. Okay, any IP, any work done by any student or any faculty of IAT during as part of their academic activities or work responsibilities, belong to the IAT. Okay, belong to the respective IAT. Okay, but we are also creating rules where it's not just that you create your startup, but the engagement you do. So for example, if you are a student and do your own startup, the IP belongs to the startup, not necessarily to the institute. Our same is the case with faculty also. Faculty, for example, I can, if I do any research, the IP belongs to IAT however. But let us see if I start, do a startup today and I create my own startup and I do research with funding from the startup. Okay, I mean, it's not fair that I use institute money and take the money from the startup. So if the money for the R&D comes from the startup, my own involvement, not withstanding, the IP belongs to the startup. Okay, so that is something we are looking. So I mean, so everything you do as part of the work, okay, belongs to the startup, belongs to the entity, okay, including your IP, including the support everything. And so naturally that's the inclusion stage. It's typically transferred to two years maximum. Okay, and then accelerator stage is subsequently I think for most of you it's not relevant. But let us say if you are a startup who has a two or three experience and wants to grow and research startup and I mean, you don't want support, but you want to footprint in the campus, etc., etc. Okay, so I will cover those two. But I think the first three are of significant relevance for us, the germination stage, the pre incubation and the incubation stages. Okay, so this is how these entities are. Okay, so you have entrepreneurship cell acting in the germination stage. You have academic activities stage. You have pre incubation by CFHC, by IT, by FAFSE, etc. Okay, then you have a host of other activities also. You have department of entrepreneurship, you have initiated innovation council, you have IP cell to facilitate all these activities also. And so firstly, the academic initiatives, so there are host of them in IIT, Hyderabad. So one is your minor, one is your, I will not go into the details here, but I mean, the idea is that students should be given a provision to work on their startup idea, not just after their degree, but even during their degree. And it's not something which is unconventional. The idea is we allow students to work on industry products. Okay, I mean, and we take it as a matter of pride that we are allowing students to go for internship, we allow students to go for industry internships, etc. Okay, and it's just the corollary of the same concept is if a industry need not be just a big industry, but your own startup, your own incubator also. Okay, so if we allow you to work in Tata Steel, if you allow you to work in Wipro or Boeing, we can definitely allow you to also work on your own startup. Okay, so there is no harm. And in fact, I think we should encourage. Okay, so these are some initiatives we are having in that regard. Okay, then you have incubations, formal incubators in IIT. Okay, so formal incubators are entities where we deal with the business side of it. Okay, so the technical side of it are always with the your departments. Okay, so I mean, the idea you are working, the startup idea you have related to your incubation, maybe artificial intelligence code or some robot program, anything depends on your respective departments. But incubators look at the formal aspect of it, the business angle of it. And we have three active incubators at IIT, which covers all the deep tech. So this is like the default incubator, which is DHT funded. So I mean, and other two are very focused and specialized incubators are specific for a domain. Okay, so CFH is Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship, which focuses on healthcare entrepreneurship as the name itself suggests. And then we have a incubator for Capsi, that is established chip design, which focuses mostly on the electronic and communications, etc. And if you are not sure if you're not following to either of this, I think is the default one. Okay, all deep tech ideas, all deep tech arenas come into the idea. Okay, so I think is DHT recognized incubation system. Okay, and CFH is a private funded incubator, which is funded from alum friends, etc. And Fabless chip design incubator is supported from my the Ministry of Information Technology and electronics. So Capsi particularly is meant as a one stop solution for all chip design related startups. Okay, and they have a very great number of EDI tools, which typically cost around multiple number of crores, such softwares are available as facilities in this incubator. So the idea here is to encourage talking in electronics and particularly chip design context. And they have a beautiful prototyping facility and a characterization facility, etc. also available. Okay, so if you're a startup working in this domain, and Fabless chip, Capsi is the right partner. And CFH is Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship. They have a fellowship program as their flagship program. So they have mentors, they have clinical partnership, they also give you seed funding, etc. So in fact, there is also a program called MTech in Healthcare Entrepreneurship, which is recently started. So it's a beautiful program where three people have come together, IIT Hyderabad, that is an academic institution, a incubator, CFH and three, the hospital, I think the Asian gastro, this thing. Okay, so a hospital, an academic institution and an incubator are conveniently running this MTech program. So it has the right mix of partnership and mentors with focus on healthcare entrepreneurship domain. That incubator, that is IT incubator, which I also take care of. So this is a technology business incubator, which is funded and supported by DHT, Department of Science and Technology. It is a non-profit, it is registered as a non-profit society and gone by an independent board, but essentially with members of IIT Hyderabad and other community people as a board. Okay, so our areas are all deep tech areas, including AI, ML, aerospace, telecommunication, manufacturing, robotics, sensors, biomedical, automated. So it's all deep tech areas, they are all complete. So what is our mandate? Our mandate is we, I mean, look at essentially a student or a faculty in a lab who has a brilliant technical idea, but it's clueless about anything else. Okay, it's clueless about how to convert that idea into a business entity, how to form a company, how to create shares, how to get a GST certificate, how to get a registration, how to get a startup registration certificate, etc. Okay, so he just has that technical idea, but it's clueless about anything related to business. So that's our role. Okay, so we help in nurturing that idea into your business entity, into your company, his own company, a higher-on company. We provide small working space with basic facilities for that. We provide business mentorship, we have close to 100 business mentors from practicing businessmen, successful businessmen, who can, I mean, you can get in touch with them, take their opinion, whether is it successful, is it going to work, is it not going to work, any feedback, such like that. And we can also provide technical assistance to nurture that idea. So, for example, if the journey is multidisciplinary, so you may be a mechanical guy, but you may require, for example, a chemical engineering understanding or a AI understanding, etc. Okay, so he bring in innovation mentors who can support that nurturing that idea. And in some cases, we can even provide you seed funding. So we can, I mean, so there are funding options where 5 lakhs, 10 lakhs, 20 lakhs, up to 25 lakhs, it is possible for you to get some seed funding also to create your incubator. And naturally, we don't give it all this as a free, so we take three to six percent of your company shares in exchange for all the facilities that are provided. So that means if your company is successful and you make tons of money, we make money, okay. And so we have a vested interest in seeing you successful, okay.  So it's not just from the brand perspective, but from our market perspective also, okay. So naturally, if you fail, we fail, okay. So I mean, so it means everything we're giving is, I mean, at free cost, okay. So that's all part of the journey, okay. So all this we take in an equity model. So how many years will you let them stay on the campus? How many years after their graduation, they can stay on the campus? So essentially, the problem is accommodation is not yet available in the campus for incubation students. So they have to, I mean, so they can work from the campus, office space and working space will be provided, but not hostel space. That's the challenge. But even that, how many years, three years or four years? Our incubation is, if it is pre incubation, it is one year, which is incubation start-up two years. Oh, I see, very nice. Two years is the standard. So typically two years is incubation journey.  But generally who we don't advise them to stay longer. If an idea does not succeed in two years, it's not going to succeed in 10 years. That's kind of our, okay. The major thing about this incubator students is the ecosystem. So you have a lot of other entrepreneurs around you, a lot of visitors coming in. Because of IIT, you get a lot of synergy, a lot of people coming in, a lot of labs around, visitors around. In fact, as the two examples you saw, even Amitabh Khan actually visited the incubator. He gave a lot of leads for businesses. So the whole advantage is pretty large of being on campus, of course, staying outside and be your offices on campus, which is very, very advantageous actually.  That's very true. In fact, I mean, we also make sure that our startups have fairly good access to the facilities, research facilities in IIT Hyderabad available. So that is our sort of say the mandate at incubator. We are not just an incubator, we are a deep tech incubator, okay. So a Kirana shop is also a business, a furniture shop is also a business and they're respectable businesses, but we don't support them. We only support where there is a value addition in terms of a technical value addition to the coming up, okay. So if you have a unique nano filtration methodology, you have a unique algae cleaning or a nice drone navigation algorithm or a battery technology for you, there should be end of the day a technical value addition from the startup coming. That's what we qualify as a deep tech, okay. So those startups only we take up and that is essentially what differentiates IIT technology startups, IIT rooted startups from, for example, T-Hub or other general incubators. They support all kinds of startups as business entities. We only take and support deep tech entrepreneurship startups. There should be something technical about your startup. On the other hand, it should also have a commercial angle, okay. So if you write a new beautiful project proposal on catalysis efficiency, increase of some ex-vegetable chemicals, it's more like your PhD thesis topic rather than your startup idea. So no, we don't support that either, okay. So I mean, it should be technical with a commercial angle. So that's something very important for our startups. So and we have a lot of schemes and terms. So we have Nidhi Accelerator, Nidhi Prayas, NMBC, nice program, BEL program, T-han program. I will briefly talk about these programs now, okay. But which program is right for you depends more on what is the stage of your startup and what is the domain of your startup also. Some of these startups programs are, for example, for electronic startups, some are pure physical mechanical prototype startups, some are all areas, some are electronics only, okay. Some are autonomous negations. So it depends on the domain and it also depends on the stage of your startup. Is it a early stage? Is it your fairly mature, etc.  If you have the clarity, we can help you, which is the right problem. So we have all these programs at ITIC, so germination stage, pre incubation stage, incubation stage, etc. So this is the impact of ITIC-Yazap today, okay. So I mean, we have been officially registered in 2014, I think almost six or seven years since we were registered. And I mean, so naturally if you compare with IT Madras or IT Kanpura, IT Bombay startups, ours is a more humbler one. But at least in these five, six years, we are able to generate good numbers. We have close to 70 startups which have been supported. They have funded up to five crores for the startups from different funding agencies. We could create 100 crores in startup revenues, okay. And close to 800 jobs have been created throughout startups. We have mentorships associated with more than 150 mentors. And we have a one and a half lakhs care feed incubation part coming up. I will talk about it more in detail. So this is all the impact ITIC could generate during these years. And so these are some of our grant agencies and program partners. So naturally, not a penny comes from us directly. And we don't take a penny from IIT Hyderabad. We are also very proud of that. We don't take a single penny from IIT Hyderabad. All the, we are completely self-sustainable. All the incubators are completely self-sustainable. They generate the money from either CSR funds or PSUs or any other projects, etc. Okay. So we have, of course, the major one is always the DST, the Department of Science and Technology. We have a beautiful program from NMDC, Nice, Teehan, Nidhi Prayas. So I'll talk, I mean, some of them in detail. But I mean, so these are all been our partners and grant agencies who have helped us in the past as well as currently. And so these are just the programs currently at ITIC. I will not spend too much time here. I will glance through. So one is the NICE program. It is essentially a joint program by NMDC. So just like the ONGC has created a joint program with Sainte-Mumbai, NMDC National Mineral Organization has created a joint program with IT Hyderabad. So it's, I mean, the name NICE comes from NMDC Innovation and Incubation Center. So here, after five incubators in a year, we give and then subsequently, a seed money of approximately 25 lakhs is also given under this program. So it is one of our flagship programs. The fellowship is the, the stipend type of thing. The fellowship is fellowship covers both prototype as well as living expenses together. And two, in addition, we also have a MakerLab created as part of this program itself. We have a beautiful, we have almost like five different 3D printers, laser cutters. We have AR, we are setup developed. We have even darkroom setup developed.  I mean, incubators can make use of it free of cost. Okay, so they need not try to go and spend money also, except for the raw material. Okay, so that's the facilities available in the NICE program. And then the other program is our Asia that is accelerator program, not incubation program. It's like a advanced, so we have, this was done together with Action for India, working in healthcare and other the mind and IT together. This was again funded by DHT. So we had taken close to 29 startups. I mean, so this is purely social entrepreneurship. Okay, so that means essentially bare entrepreneurship also has a social relevance. So for example, you may be agritech, or you may be a health tech, or you may be edutech. All these startups, they have supported. And then the third one is a DHT supported program called Nidhi Prayas. So this is a beautiful program where you have an idea and you want to create a prototype. This should be a physical prototype. It cannot be a coding. Okay, it should be a physical prototype. If you want to create a prototype, who will give you 10 lakhs of support to create the prototype? Okay, no nothing conditions. You need not even create a startup. It is for individuals. You have an idea, come, you apply, and you'll get the money. Simple. Okay, so that's kind of how this works. Of course, I mean, so the idea should be good. I mean, so when I mean simple, it assumes that your idea is very valid. Any student, I mean, beta, can't be understand that any student of IT can apply and to build something and they get straight away one lakh under the build power. So very early prototype, no constraints. Then they can apply here. Here, one must be a full-time student. I mean, so full-time, so that means being a student one cannot apply. It must be a full-time activity in Nidhi Prayas, because this is a DHT funded scheme. So some kind of rules from them are here. The beauty of it is it only takes physical prototypes. If it is a purely software, it is not permitted in this program. Till now, we are having a call based. So that means there will be a call for Nidhi Prayas applications and you go to the website. You have a one month, three, two weeks, time to apply, etc. That is the current model. But in two, three months, we are going to have an open call. That means you can just go to the website, apply anytime in any of the program, and we will have the next cycle, essentially four months is a typical cycle time. We plan to do it at least three times in a year. Then we have the Teehan program, which is, so Teehan is a national mission on autonomous navigation sanctioned by the government, I mean, DHT again. It's a 150 crore test grid setup, which is going to come up in IIT, Hyderabad. So that is a separate entity, that is a separate society and everything. But we collaborate with them and we partner on the incubation and startup related the aspect of the Teehan. So all the autonomous navigation startup, all the battery, electronic vehicle, electric vehicle startups, etc. We support under this program. And so we have same, I mean, so we have seed fund up to 25 lakhs. We have entrepreneurship, fellowship grant up to 10 lakhs possible in these schemes. And then we have MITE Type 2, which is supported by Ministry of Information Technology. This is purely for software startups and electronic startups. We have a shop, I mean, electronic related idea or electronic startup idea. So we have two schemes under it. EIR schemes can give you up to 4 lakhs and grant can give you up to 7 lakhs. It is comparatively lower because it is not physical prototype. It is typically more in terms of electronics and software. So the costs are expected to be lower. So that is the reason why it is 4 lakhs and 7 lakhs here.  So that is essentially Ministry of Defense has created its own startup called IDEX. So it is where all the military related innovation startups, so be it Navy, Army or Air Force, all those are taken up by the IDEX, which is like the Ministry of Defense official startup. And they go and implement this startup program through partner incubators. There are only a handful of such incubators. So IDEX is one of the IDEX partners also. So that means you can register with the Ministry of Defense and they support up to almost one and a half crores in funding from their challenges for defense related applications. And once you get the funding approval from the listen, you can choose to incubate at ITC or any other place. So ITC is one of the partners, defense ITC partners. And we have also seed fund from Bharat Heli Electricals, particularly on naturally, I mean, electronic related startups. So these are all now startups at ITC. Okay, so I mean, we have close to 40 startups who are currently active at ITC. So we have close to five, six of them are by faculty also. And some again, another five, six are from students of IIT Hyderabad. And the remaining are also from external students. So we allow both IIT Hyderabad faculty, IIT Hyderabad students as well as external students in some proportion. We don't allow too many. But in decent proportion, we have both external as well as campus based startups possible. One of our companies recently we have taken under the autonomous navigation program is ALOG Industries. So they are working on creating the robots for autonomous warehouse management. Okay, so I mean, so all the, so for example, I mean, Kipkart or Amazon. Okay, so they're creating the mobile robots, they're fabricating the mobile robots. So not just the coding and the concept, but fabrication of the mobile robots per autonomous carts and autonomous navigation, auto picking, etc. Okay, so I mean, the idea is not really novel. You've seen enough videos of Amazon or other places. But the implementation capability in India is lagging. Okay, so you have hardly a startup today or any industry today who are capable of creating manufacturing similar robots with automatic collision detection programming and everything. Okay, and at a scale, okay, not just one or two labs scale, but at a higher scale, which will fit. Okay, so that is what the startup is planning to do. Okay, so then we also have one healthcare related startup from our environmental engineering department. So Tejaswini. Okay, so the idea is to create a point of care, self-care a testing device for cervical cancer detection. So we have kind of vaginal infections or cervical infections, etc. And you can create your own tool, self-pool for collection of the sample, etc. So this is one startup which is working in self-care design domain. So we had a good success with this startup also. Okay, and then I mean, diametrically opposite is one of our startups, which is Manaliswing. So they are interested in creating a bungy jump in Himachal Pradesh in India. Okay, so kind of, I mean, so it's a good team of rock languards and everything. Okay, so the idea is they will create a sort of a bungy jump equivalent between two peaks in one of the helistations in Himachal Pradesh. Okay, and then facilitate jumping, etc. So challenge is not the jumping. The challenge is the detection. So they want to ensure all the automatic device detection, etc. So it automatically tells you whether the rope is tight or not, whether it is clamped properly or not, whether the person is standing at the right direction or not, right angle or not, etc. Okay, so that's actually how you can bring image learning and artificial intelligence to increase the safety in this jumping, etc. is what the company is doing. Another startup, which is again, I mean, in a different diameter is GenSafe, which is working on disinfecting water or I mean, water purification. Okay, so maybe a hand water purification or a normal purification without having to do with your, what do you call chemicals or anything? Naturally, without using any pesticides or any chemicals, can you purify the water? Okay, and with a low cost with a low membrane result, etc. So this is a team of three doctorates from in chemical engineering PhDs who are doing this work. Okay, so they are working on creating safe and affordable drinking water for rural applications, etc. So they've done some case studies and in fact, they have been also recently shortlisted for the top five brick, I mean, the bricks entrepreneurship award also. So here, they are starting their work on hand pumps, but they are also looking at, I mean, let us say even municipal water purification and even you call milk purification also. So they use this, what we call as high cavitation flow, and they spin the water to kill the germs. So it does not remove the impurities, but it reduces the germs and the, I mean, this thing. Okay, so the boiling equivalent sort of. So it can help in reducing the need for water purification. And in many cases, at least, I mean, imagine for example, even the water tank water becomes stale for four days. Okay, so how can you again make it portable and drinkable, where there are no additional new impurities coming in, but where you want to reduce the germ content. So this process is ideally suited for such a requirement. For particulate impurities, this is not suitable. So if the impurities are, I mean, like particulates like lead and all, this is not suitable. But so groundwater and all depending on the source, it can be used for good application. So the intent is that pick up all the aspects. Okay, it can be rural health care, it can be fancy bungy gimping, it can be healthcare devices, or it can be industrial automation, etc. All these startups are welcome and are fit into our incubation system. So we also have a MHRD sanctioned research fund, which is established in 2016. It is in very similar lines to IIT Madras research fund. Okay, so this is completely a, so if you're no longer a startup, but a mature company, and no longer fall into the startup category, you can hire, you can rent space here for your commercial operations and use the IIT Hyderabad campus in the facilities for your research activities. This is our future. So we have a one and a half lakh square feet of technology incubation part, which is under construction. It's almost getting ready. So probably from three months to six months, we'll hope to have that facility ready. So this is designed and funded from Jaika, that is the government of Japan support for IIT Hyderabad. So it comes from that division. And it is one and a half lakh square feet of pure incubation space. So this complete building will only have incubation and startup related activities going on. Okay, so I think that will make it one of the, at least if not the biggest, one of the top three incubators, dedicated incubators in India. I mean, you have incubators, but spread around this thing. So this is a single big entity building completely only dedicated to incubation activities. So we are hoping in another three months to six months, we'll have that ready. One of our major headaches was we want a combined ecosystem, but we want privacy. So let us see if I hire four different startups in autonomous navigation, one startup should not steal ideas from the other startup. Okay, so I mean, so other, but at the same time, we want the ecosystem where there is, I mean a vibrancy of activity where you see, I mean, it typically happens, right? You see the other fellow putting a night out, you kind of get motivated to put a night out to yourself. Okay, so that ecosystem. So this building is designed where privacy plus intermingling is happening. So it kind of, I mean, a beautiful amalgamation of these two. So it's designed in complete towers and different towers have different floor levels and different heights and each are connected, but each is a individual silo in itself. Okay, so that's briefly on all the activities of incubation and entrepreneurship. With that, I think, I mean, so thank you, Prasad Chakravarty.


So yesterday I posted my first video in my C series and somebody asked a question that I've gotten before which is why do we return ones and zeros and why if it's successful is it zero wouldn't one be successful and I can see how this can be confusing you know wrapping your head around it you might think one is successful zero is nothing it's failed well it's actually the opposite way around where zero means that it was successful why is this because because this is an X code it's an error code it's going to tell you what went wrong and if nothing went wrong we're at zero we start off at zero so were there any errors no zero we're all good we also have to remember that when it comes to binary we think of binary is ones and zeros zeros and ones which really isn't true it's just two states it can be anything on on your hard drive you don't actually have ones and zeros we just use ones and zeros to represent them if it's you know it's a magnetic hard drive it's going to be whether it's a polarized one way or another CDs it's shooting a laser into the disk whether that laser comes back or doesn't represent either ones or zeros on's or off's you know with old punch cards programming it's you either have a hole or you don't it's ones or zeros on's or off's those are all the same things they're not actually ones and zeros it's just one way to represent them and when we're exiting out of a program or a function if we return zero it means success why is that well because zero means false why we return a false if things are good where we're saying are there any errors no there aren't zero false one is generally means it's a general error code there something failed there are other codes you can use in different languages for different things even negative numbers in some cases I believe that may give you a more specific you know code on what went wrong but zero means that there were no errors everything was successful if anything else is returned well then it was false so that's the main reason you know I'm hoping that helps you think about it there's different ways you can look at it but basically were there any problems no zero everything's good anything other than zero something happened that shouldn't have happened so that is why we return zeros as success and I know that you would think zero is bad and you know again zero you're looking at it's like oh it's false why are we getting a false if things were successful it's because false on problems is one way to look at it anyway I hope that makes helps you think through it if you have a better way of explain it let me know in the comments below thanks for watching visit filmsbychrist.com that's Chris at the can I hope that you have a great day


My name is Dave Moss and I'm a surveillance researcher for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Law enforcement agencies are acquiring advanced surveillance technologies without providing elected officials or the public with the information they need to make an educated decision. In fact, too often law enforcement agencies obtain this equipment without any kind of public process at all. SB 21 would require police to seek governing body approval for surveillance technology purchases and their accompanying policies. But also ensure that meaningful data about effectiveness, cost, and misuse are made public every two years. In other words, SB 21 creates a public process to determine whether surveillance technology's cost to our privacy and budget is proportionate to the public safety interest. Fiscal accountability is key here. These technologies are not cheap and ambitious surveillance programs too often become expensive boondoggles. SB 21 is urgently needed. The current US administration's agenda calls for supercharging immigration enforcement and the so-called war on drugs. As a result, we can expect a heavy influx of military grade surveillance technologies to flow into our communities through grants, pilot programs, asset forfeiture spending, and federal equipment transfers. And the threats posed by these unchecked technologies are not hypothetical. License plate readers in Los Angeles were left unsecured online with live feeds accessible to anyone with a web browser. San Jose, a case that police championed as its main facial recognition, quote, success story, turned out to be a false arrest of an innocent man. In A Rinda, motion triggered cameras keep getting stolen, with thousands of photos of residents stolen with them. And then there's Calexico, where police acquired James Bond equipment to spy on city council members who they allegedly intended to extort. The US Department of Justice stepped in to investigate and found the city was approving even more surveillance technologies without adequate policies in place. The current US Attorney General, however, has made it clear that we can no longer count on his office to provide this kind of civil rights oversight. That's why we need the California legislature to take a stand against unchecked police surveillance. I urge you to support transparency and vote aye on SB 21.


Welcome to another episode of Critical Conversations, where we talk about hot topic issues related to American Muslims and other targeted communities. Today we're going to talk about Kashmir, a land that covers 86,000 square miles and is home to approximately 14 million people. It is claimed by both India and Pakistan, and the two nuclear armed neighbors have fought multiple wars over the region. Pakistan controls one-third of the territory, and India administers two-thirds of Kashmir. These two territories are divided along the de facto border called the line of control. Over the past 30 years, there has been a separatist movement in Indian-administered Kashmir that has sought independence from Indian rule and has often turned violent. India has responded by using preponderant military force and engaging in gross human rights violations. More than 70,000 people have died in the conflict, and tens and thousands of more have been either maimed or have been disappeared by the Indian state. Kashmir was most recently in the news when in August 2019, India revoked Article 370 of the Constitution, which over the past 70 years had given some semblance of autonomy to people in Indian-administered Kashmir. With this move, India brought Kashmir under its direct rule and imposed a communication and security lockdown that further exacerbated the humanitarian situation there. Today we're going to talk about developments in Kashmir since August 5th, and also about what lies ahead. Often the discourse surrounding Kashmir is dominated by narratives propagated by either India or Pakistan. Today we're going to talk about Kashmir, its history, the conflict, and aspirations of the Kashmiri people purely from a Kashmiri perspective. To help us understand that, we are very fortunate to be joined by Professor Muhammad Junaid, who is a Kashmiri scholar, an activist, and also a cultural anthropologist. He's also assistant professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Professor Junaid, thank you so much for joining us. My pleasure. Thank you for having me here. So let's begin by, could you give us a brief overview of Kashmir's history after British colonial rule ended in the Indian subcontinent in 1947? So to understand the post-1947 Kashmir, we have to really go back a little bit into the history. Kashmir, as you know, is this Malian region, a huge country. For centuries before 1947, Kashmiris have imagined that place as a country. In Urdu, in Kashmiri, they use the term Mulk, Mulk-e-Kashmir, which is the country of Kashmir. It is a land of multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic, multi-religious communities. Has gone through a variety of kingdoms and been part of empires, but throughout most of its history, it has been a kind of independent, semi-independent or an autonomous region. Even until 1947, Kashmir was a semi-independent region. That was controlled by, ruled by the Dogras, who had been given this territory in lieu of their support to the British in their war against the Sikhs in 1846. And from 1846 to 1947, the Dogras ruled Kashmir. And this was a Hindu dynasty? Dogras were a Hindu dynasty, but the majority of the subjects of this kingdom were Muslims. In 1947, until 1947, more than 70% of the population was Muslim. And 25%, 28% were Hindus, and 3% were Sikhs. But the rulers were Hindus. In 1947, when the British left the subcontinent, as you know, the partition took place. For the partition, there was a cabinet mission, which basically told the Indian, you know, the princely states, and Kashmir was one of them, to either join India or Pakistan, or decide to remain independent. And in 1947, Kashmiris did not know whether, they did not know that they would have to make that choice. Since 1931, there had been a mass uprising against the Dogra ruler, because the Dogras were feudal monarchy, heavily taxing the Kashmiri Muslim peasants, and artisanal classes. And so there had been a mass uprising for equality, just as democracy... See, right, you know, citizenship. And on the borders, there had been, like, uprisings to secede from the Dogras. So in 1947, when this moment arose, which Kashmiris hadn't imagined, they thought their mass mobilization was primarily against the Dogras. It was not an anti-colonial movement, although Kashmiris did express solidarity with anti-colonial struggles in South Asia. For them, it was primarily seeking equality in the small-key Kashmir, in this country of Kashmir. And in 1944, there was a Kashmir document, which was a very progressive document adopted by the prominent Kashmiri political party at that time, National Conference, which envisaged independent, democratic, even socialist republic of Kashmir. And Kashmir had, although there was National Conference, there were multiple other political parties. So it was a pluralistic region with dynamic politics, with diversity of thought. In 1947, the Maharaja of Kashmir dithered. He delayed whether to join India or Pakistan, or to declare independence. So at the time when, in August 1947, when both India and Pakistan were established and created as independent entities, by then the Dogra had not, ruler had not yet decided whether he was going to exceed to India or Pakistan or remain independent. Exactly. And in August 1947, he did sign a standstill agreement with Pakistan. He sent a similar standstill agreement to India, which did not sign it. And the standstill agreement basically said that relations will continue, the status quo will continue, until they reach a decision about what they wanted to do. Yes. And standstill agreement principally was designed to allow the rulers time to decide what they wanted to do. I mean, and they had to make this decision based on the composition of their population, and the geographical contiguity of their borders. Sure. And the majority population was Muslim, and its geographical contiguity was with Pakistan. Its rivers, its roads, and its, you know, cultural ties kind of flowed westward, not southward. Southward, they were mountains. You know, high mountains, there were no roads. And in August 1947, the Maharajas, you know, backers in his southern province of Jammu, which was basically a fiefdom of the upper caste Hindus, they started massacring Muslims from the region, driving them out, thinking that eventually, when the moment comes, like Pakistan might take over Kashmir, we must, you know, keep Jammu for India. I see. And so from August 1947 to mid-1948, there's this process of ethnic cleansing that goes on in Jammu. Jammu city, for instance, used to be a Muslim majority city. By the end of it, it was a Muslim minority city.  These events became critical to the later dispute. And so he asked, when the stories of these massacres were circulating, they were reaching northwest frontier province and other regions, the people from there who were called the Kabbalis, they started coming in in support of the Muslims. Right. So this was in October 1947, when Bhutan tribesmen went over into Kashmir and tried to control that territory by force. Yes. Some of them perhaps were given directions by the Pakistani military officers, but most of them were very disorganized. In fact, I mean, the legions of their disorganization are pretty common in Kashmir even now.  And what he did was he sent a delegation to Delhi, asking them to sign the instrument of accession. He wanted to sign accession with India. And India said, we will sign the accession and provide you military help. And the accession was based on three things. That India would have control over defense, communications, and external affairs. And accession itself was temporary because the Maharajas knew that most of the population was Muslim who would have wanted Kashmir to be independent, you know. And so he made it conditional that eventually when conditions are right, Kashmir people of the state would be asked their will, and they will determine their future status. Of course that never happened, India and Pakistan went to war. Kashmir was divided, as you pointed out, between India and Pakistan. The line of control was drawn through the heart of Kashmir. And since last, you know, 73 years, Kashmir has remained divided and a dispute with three main parties. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so until last year, until August of 2019, as I mentioned earlier, India had been governing Indian-administered Kashmir under Article 370, and it had sort of, again, given some semblance of autonomy to that Kashmiri region where they would elect local politicians, you know, and there was a state assembly, et cetera. Last year in August, it revoked that, and there's been a huge communication and security lockdown, as I mentioned earlier. So what are the conditions now in Kashmir? Can you just give us an update about the security and the communications lockdown, and also what is the situation as far as the humanitarian conditions are concerned? Since 73 years, India has been at war with the people of Kashmir. It has used different methods to suppress Kashmiri voices. Of course, as I said, the initial connection between India and Kashmir was conditional that eventually there would be a right to self-determination, which was also expressed by the UN Security Council Resolutions 47 and several other resolutions. But India denied the plebiscite even though its leaders had publicly promised that to the people of Kashmir. Second, it consistently rigged elections, arrested leaders. Even Sheikh Abdullah, who had endorsed accession with India, a conditional accession, was arrested in 1953 and put behind bars for years. And since 1990, India basically launched a counterinsurgency warfare in Kashmir. It may turn Kashmir into this space of exception where normal rules of civil liberties did not exist. Kashmiri rights could be denied anytime. And from 1990 to the present, more than 85,000 people have been killed, majority of them at the hands of Indian forces. And since August of this year, that process has continued. It has taken an extreme turn where Kashmiri freedom of expression has completely been taken away. They're not allowed to use internet. Now, after seven months, they're allowed to use some internet but not social media. They've been arrests of everyday Kashmiris, not even political activists, for using social media. I mean, it's a really brutal regime in Kashmir. Of course, on the international stage, people remember India as the land of gurus and Gandhi and whatnot. But to Kashmiri, you look at it from the Kashmiri perspective. It's been a really tough state. It has acted towards Kashmiris like a colonial power and imperial power would towards the colonized. Absolutely. And we'll sort of get to that part as well. It seems as if now that the communications blackout is lifting very, very slowly. Things are getting a little bit better in that the schools are reopening, businesses are reopening. And there seems to be some sense of political activity as well that is sort of resuming in the valley, and not so much in terms of the old political guard because many of the political party's leadership still remains detained. But there seems to be a third political front as they're dubbing it, like there's some new political actors that are sort of coming into play. And I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about that, but also in the context of how have political parties that have been operating in Kashmir, most notably the National Conference, more recently the People's Democratic Party, and others that have sought to represent Kashmiris through elections, how have regular Kashmiris viewed those parties and their relations with New Delhi? So Kashmiri politics is a wide spectrum. On one side are those parties that are called the Tehrik parties. Tehrik parties are multiple formations that basically demand right of self-determination for Kashmir. They have the most popularity in Kashmir. Their activists are typically in jail, arrested, killed, and they suffer immensely. On the, in the middle where some of these parties that you mentioned, National Conference and the PDP, these were, these have been parties who have made compromises with India to the extent where in Kashmir people think that they represent Indian interests in Kashmir rather than Kashmiri interests in Delhi. And but with the BJP regime, they, even they don't beat, they're not trusted. So that's why some of their leadership is in the jails. Although these, this leadership acted like the glove on the Indian bayonet until very recently. The ones who were like helping India oppress their own people.  You know, they're willing to throw Kashmiris under the bus and tell Kashmiris that okay, neither the right to self-determination nor possibility of full citizenship can be achieved. We can simply ask for statehood, you know, we can limit it powers and we must live as a subservient to Indian interests in Kashmir. We cannot pursue our own interests. And of course the BJP likes them, they would like them to, to be propped. And I have strong doubts that they will have any legitimacy in Kashmir. Right. And like, you know, parties like the PDP that were recently in power, they're also sort of, you know, perceived with some level of doubt and suspicions as far as the population is concerned. So since 1990 there has been a separatist movement in Kashmir. Can you talk a little bit about who makes up that movement because there's a wide range of groups, some of them secular, some of them religious, some of them who've resorted to violence, others who have not. So could you talk a little bit about that mix of groups that makes up the separatist movement and also what do you think is going to be the future of this particular movement after, you know, restrictions are lifted and people are allowed to move around again? Well, let me just push back against the term separatist. Kashmiri movement has not been separatist. I mean, you can be separatist if you agree to the union or if you're part of the union. All right. So the separatists have never imagined themselves to be part of the Indian Union. Kashmir had, as I mentioned in the introduction, had its own identity, its own independence. It has lived for centuries as an independent country, longer than both India and Pakistan have existed. So the history of that movement goes back years, especially since 1931, has taken multiple forms from emancipation from 1931 to 1947 to national sub-termination or national liberation from Indian occupation since 1947 onwards. It existed as peaceful, democratic mass mobilizations at different times, but at some times it has existed as underground movement. In 1990, with Indian repression increasing in Kashmir, many young activists decided to cross over to the other side of Kashmir, which is the Azad Juman Kashmir or the Pakistani control side of Kashmir. Got limited training from there, came back. Of course, there were no match for the Indian military might. And of course, started this mass mobilizing. The goal was really to kind of reduce the fear of India from within the Kashmiri public sphere. That has continued. So this national liberation movement has taken multiple forms. India has suppressed all of its different variants. Of course, the armed movement has been crushed. And they now existed. There are only probably 200 to 300 of them in Kashmir right now. But a majority of the movement has existed in a non-armed fashion. And those activists have been severely crushed as well. Most of them spend time in jails. Even some who advocate Gandhian methods have been put in jail. So do you have a lot of confidence in terms of where that movement is going to go? The non-violent movement that has been a first half determination that has been going on for years. Where do you think that's going to go in the coming months? See, one can never tell where the history is moving towards. When you talk to Kashmiris, they ask, what is our option? The Indian state has basically told them that if you can only exist as second-class citizens and subservient to the Indian interests, you cannot control your own destiny and fate. So that seems like most Kashmiris are unwilling to live that life. People around the world don't realize that there are 15 million Kashmiris around the world, including 13 million in that region, Kashmir and the Indian side and the Pakistani side. It's a huge place. Lots of people. There are probably 100 other countries that have smaller populations and are independent and free and relatively prosperous. Kashmir has great potential. It can economically develop. It has a history of a tradition of progressive politics. But being under India prevents all of that from happening. And we have proof. We have the historical proof. We have tried India for years, 73 years, and it has not happened. So a lot of Kashmiris believe that resistance is the only option. And we have to wait for our moment. We look at the history and see new states are forming all the time. Yes, we live in a really difficult time where a future looks really dark. Big countries are becoming belligerent, occupying. We see what is happening in Middle East and Crimea elsewhere. But as someone said, people think that the present is going to last forever. It's not. The present itself is a utopia. So what is the next generation of Kashmiris? I mean, they have grown up pretty much since the National Liberation Movement began in 1990. So that's all that they have seen. And do you feel like they are more engaged with the resistance? Are they disillusioned with it as they're sort of living under this kind of occupation? I think that in general, the sentiment has always been there for independence. I mean, Indian state has kind of like systematically alienated Kashmiris from 1947 onwards, denying them any political space. So it's logical for Kashmiris to kind of like express sympathy, but also they are fully aware of their history and their aspirations.  People who've been blinded by pallets and young boys and girls who are taken to, you know, interrogation centers, torture centers and whatnot. So but having said that, there are critiques of the resistance, not, you know, it's not like a uniform resistance, there are different, multiple kind of visions within the resistance. Some may not agree with the Islamist versions of it, some may not agree with the liberal secular versions of it. Right, right. In fact, let me sort of turn to that. You know, there are armed groups, and you said that they're very limited in number now, but there are armed groups like Hezbollah, Majaheddin, Jesheh, Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba that have been involved in this movement in Indian administrative Kashmir. They're all based in Pakistan and have received military training, equipment, support from the Pakistani government, the Pakistani military, however you'd like to see it. And so could you speak a little bit about how local Kashmiris, and I know local Kashmiris have joined some of these groups as well, as was evidenced by the suicide bombing that happened in Bulwama last year in February, where it was a local Kashmiri who had joined Jesheh Muhammad and had sort of become part of that. But how do Kashmiris generally feel about these groups and their presence and their impact on the nonviolent resistance that's going on? And while the groups may be based in Pakistan, the majority of their card are Kashmiri, young Kashmiris from mostly from rural and smaller towns. As I said, the number is pretty small, you know, they are not a match for the Indian military might. They, in fact, they get killed as soon as they join these groups. They are poorly trained, they don't have resources. It's not like Taliban, you know, and Pakistani military in the 1990s was much more involved when they used to give them weapons and they were like Pakistani militants and Afghani militants who were involved. But from 2001, Pakistani military has completely kind of stepped outside. I mean, if you look at some of these younger folks who are joining these groups, they snatched weapons from police officers and whatnot and so they've been overblown in the media, but their actual impact, their physical impact on conflict is very little, except like when something like this blowing up of soldiers happens. Or something big and huge like that happens and it does bring both countries to the brink of war. And so even though their numbers might be small, but you feel like there has been a shift in the Pakistani military's approach to these militant groups? Yeah, I mean Pakistani state has, I think it's a good question to ask like the role of the Pakistani state. In the early 1990s, the major political formation in Kashmir armed resistance was led by Jumu Kashmir Liberation Front, which was mostly a secular pro-independence group, pro-unification group. And when it became popular, the Pakistani state started sponsoring pro-Pakistan groups, so Hezboil Mujahideen and several other, although Hezboil Mujahideen was an indigenous group, but there were other groups eventually that were brought in, populated mostly by Afghan and Pakistani militants. Which to most Kashmiris, if you ask them, although they had goodwill from Kashmiris, but they did more damage to the cause than help. How? Can you elaborate on that? I mean their vision was not aligned with the aspirations of Kashmiris. Kashmiris wanted independence, Kashmiris wanted end to the occupation, while their goals were much more broader Islamists, which did not find resonance in Kashmir. Kashmiris do not see themselves part of some global caliphate and stuff. And some of these groups are also perhaps perpetuating a pro-Pakistan vision, right? So calling for the merger of Kashmir with Pakistan, and that also did not align with local Kashmiri sentiments. There is a sentiment for Pakistan in Kashmir, there are some constituencies which are pro-Pakistan, and for them these groups would have aligned. But I think the polls that have been done by different groups, or what you get, the sense you get from people, is that most people would prefer independence, not be under either India or Pakistan. So thank you so much Professor Junaid, we have sort of reached the end of our time for the first part of our discussion, so we'll conclude it here. Please stay tuned for part two on our discussion with Kashmir, on Kashmir. Thank you so much.


Hey everyone, today we're making a healthy chicken and rice bowl with peanut sauce. This thing is delicious, it's got a little bit of grated carrot in it and some cucumber and the flavors with the sauce, that's where it's at. I'm Rockin' Robin and I'm going to show you how to make it right after my chef joke. Why did the man smear peanut butter on the road? To go with the traffic jam. We're going to start off here with our recipe, preparing our chicken thighs.  And then we're going to cut each piece into bite-sized pieces.  But if you prefer chicken breast, you certainly can use it. Once we get our chicken all trimmed up and cut into bite-sized pieces, then we're going to work on our sauce for this. In my bowl here I have a couple tablespoons of honey and to that I'm going to add some tamari sauce. Which if you're not familiar, it is a gluten-free version of soy sauce. We're going to add some rice vinegar and then we're going to grate up a little bit of fresh garlic. We'll give that a good stir and then we're going to pour this right over our chicken and marinate it for about one to two hours. Now you want to give this a good stir so that you marinate all the chicken. I'm going to cover this with some saran wrap and in the refrigerator it goes. While our chicken is marinating, we're going to work on our carrots. So I've got some shredded carrots here. You can either grate your own or buy them already shredded. Next we're going to add just a little bit of toasted sesame oil. This gives it such an amazing flavor. And in case you're wondering, you can get the written recipe below the video in the description area. And to this we're going to add the juice of one fresh lime. This light little dressing just gives a little interest to the carrots so that they're not just plain. We'll finish this off with a little sprinkle of salt and then we'll give it a good toss.  So I'm going to peel this. I'm using organic by the way. I'm going to peel this up and then I will just chop it up into small pieces. Here I decided I wanted the pieces smaller so I cut the cucumber in half and then I just chopped it all up. Here we'll just place everything in a bowl and it's ready to go when we are ready to put this dish together. Now I'm going to prep up what I think is the star of this show and that is the peanut sauce. So I'm going to combine some tamari sauce, the rice vinegar, some coconut sugar. Then I'll give that a little stir to start dissolving the sugar. And now I'm going to add the peanut butter. I'm using Laura's Scutters here. It just has peanuts and salt in the ingredient list. And now for just a little touch of heat I'm adding some sriracha sauce. Now I'm using a tablespoon but feel free to use more if you like a little more heat. Now mixing this up is going to take a little bit of time. Just the peanut butter makes it harder to mix in.  Now as you can see here the sauce got very thick. So plan on adding some water to this to get it to the consistency of nice and creamy and basically pourable. So continue adding a little bit of water at a time, say maybe a quarter of a cup, maybe a little less. And just blend it up until you get a consistency something like this. I store my peanut sauce in a mason jar and that works really great. And you'll probably have leftovers and that's fine. You can use this on all kinds of dishes. I like it on sandwiches. I like it on salads. Just thin it down as much as you need to and it grows great on a salad. It must be time for chef's joke number two. Why couldn't the sesame seed leave the gambling casino? Because he was on a roll. Now before I start cooking the chicken we need to prepare our rice. So I'm just cooking some Basmati rice according to the package directions. And that would take about 15 minutes. Now we can start cooking our chicken. I have a large frying pan here over medium heat and I've added some olive oil to the pan. Let's give it a little swirl and that way it'll get nice and hot. I'm using a slotted spoon here so that I leave the sauce in the pan. I just want the chicken really into the pan. Now we're going to hang on to this sauce so don't toss it out. We're going to add some thickener to it and add it back when the chicken is done cooking. I'm also going to season up the chicken with a little bit of salt. And we're going to cook this probably five minutes per side. It's been about five minutes so I'm going to go ahead and flip it over. After about 10 to 15 minutes of total cooking time you're going to want to check the chicken by cutting a piece in half and looking for any pink. This would look done to me so I'm going to go ahead and remove this from the pan and place it in a bowl to keep warm. So you can see I have some sauce left over in the pan so we're going to leave that in there and we're going to add the other sauce that I had saved to the pan. Here I have a combination of a tablespoon of cold water and a tablespoon of arrow root which is a thickener for our sauce so just mix that up until it's nice and liquidy.  Now I only added as much as I needed to make the sauce as thick as I wanted it okay so don't necessarily add all of it in. Give it a good stir and see what you think. For me I felt this was the right consistency not too thick not too thin. Now we'll pour this sauce right over the chicken and now we're ready to start putting this dish together. Hey if you're enjoying this video go ahead and smash the like button for me. I ended up taking this dish to a Bunko party so I didn't put it together till then and I just put everything as you see it here on the serving dish and everybody seemed to really enjoy this. I put the peanut sauce on the rice and I had a dish next to the plate so that people can add it to their whole dish and it was a hit.
