What's up, good people and welcome to get another episode of Buzz It Stands right here on SPM Buzz. My good name is Miss Kethingi and in case you have not subscribed, please make sure you do because the person I'm hanging out with today will actually just make you subscribe because I need why not. Now I am hanging out with a style, you guys. I mean later mahalini tawamia, but I am where I am. But this person is someone I don't even know who pushes harder more than him in the entertainment business, you know, from taking a cow to the CBD to market for a client to going all the way to where driving a tractor in the mud to market for a client to drink some salt in the mud to fill in stadiums across East Africa and even having a well-produced international standards of a reality show. This is the one and only the president of Kometi, Eric Omondi. Yes. Eric. We can't wait to see what you guys are going to say. We have been planning to have a stay for the longest time, for the longest time. 50 nilifa 80 nilifa ticket Still out Another side of airing that people don't even know as I told you this Kusuna kwa? I hope we can achieve this by the end of the we will of course I hope you'll get your tiki I'm trying my best Na musikiaji pwne omabaguweza ka ja sa higi Hu, kasa bwwiyeza Akuna mbyeoza, akuna makele Akuna... Need a bit kuuge, manikubi Uyu apa na wacha kuwanza kucheka Ya kulwe kuwanza Like, spatiri ya wan te gwast utu Ya Ya awi fubu na... Noise Yes 100% Uwe wala naki Now, ekuhu kwa luke Yes Kwa za kwa hinkifenu? Ru, are yu uchishive kampenu? Aa, ya I'm everything, I'm the chief. Are you the deputy president? I'm the deputy, you know? Yes, I'm the chief campaigner. I'm the one who shouts. He carries the message. I shout the message. He's the owner of the vision. I try to communicate the vision. Yes. We have seen that you've done well. But now why Banjiki and not these others for them? Because these others have been there before. They've been presidents. They've been ministers. They've been prime ministers. They've been in peace. They've been here since 1983. Some of them have been here since before. And there's not much. So Banjiki is where we have been. We have nothing to do. If you rail for president, I'll vote for you. Just to see what happens. Just a change, an actual change. I don't think it provides that. I think he's not an outsider. He's not a politician. He's never been elected. But he's never been taken out. He's never been taken out. So if you could do that outside of office, how much more can you do inside? I think he's a business man. He's a master of billions of shillings. For his empire. I have a feeling he can do the same thing. Chief campaigner has spoken. Eric, do you think youths are ready for change? Youths are not ready for change. So what I want to do, let me tell this person. Youths are not ready for change. So what I'm doing is, now she wants to play. She wants to play. She wants to play.   So we might work now. It's going to be bad of course. Camping skill. What? Romin Gokul is in it. We can't do that. We can't do that. So, we can't do that. Kenyans are very nice people. They can never do other things. So generation after generation. So our children, our children will suffer. Our children will suffer. Our children will suffer. Our parents will suffer. We can't do that. So this is where we stop it. That's what he is saying, itweka. Itweka means cutting. Move it from this generation to the next generation. Cutting completely. So, mimi beti mepewa kazi modi. Kwaumisha vidyana. Tai force. I see that. So is it safe to say that in case Jimmy Wajigi takes it home, can we hold your account and push the news? Don't even hold Jimmy Wajigi account. Hold me account too. Yes. Pardon. I see kwaumisha. Bro, Niko Kempinski, kifika apu, Niko, First of all, this was not the agreement. This was not the agreement. We were supposed to just have a kanihikon manse short. Ya, we don't much know interruption by Idubia, that's the end of the day. We need to put food on the table. But now you just plan to put fisha ni amubaba. Mimi ni mubaba, but now that's the problem later. I only sleep in the vocal and I'm concerned about it. I don't feel, I don't can look. I feel like I'm going to do your play. Like look at me. No you don't. I can't look by uniform, tata kwaumisha. Again you're small body too, so we may stink. So I'm afraid that that phrase, like begins at 40. I'm afraid that I would be the first person that actually showcases that. I feel like I do not know what is going on. The things are planning. They are planning to turn 40 like I do. Do you have any goal that you set when you just decided I'm turning 40 and this is what I want much. Now the meetings are... Ya, I want to this year particularly the fourth year. I'm fourth year. I'm fourth year. I'm fourth year. So I said this year's money is going to be a lot. This is the year of abundance. I do yet. This is the year that money up to 100% by December. I was thinking for a year. So I said this is the year of abundance. Do you have any regrets? No. I don't regret everything. Since I was born if I was born today I would not be the same. I have not had any regrets. I have few to no challenges in life. Oh, you have few to no challenges. Life now. Now to the teachers. Let me tell you. There are no competitors. In this industry I feel it's so boring I wish I was born in Tanzania I wish I was born in Tanzania I wish I was born in Tanzania Nobody is challenging me. I don't feel challenged. And that is not good for my for your career. But don't you think now if you are not feeling challenged like here in Kenya it's about time you just now get competitor internationally. So I want to avoid Kenya. I want to compete but in June I will be avoiding attack. You see you can't compete you will have to sleep. I feel like for the past 2 months my brand has slept. So but don't you think now maybe since you don't have competition in Kenya you can now go internationally? Yes, that's you see when you turn 14 things are going to change brand, event everything is going to change. In Kenya there is no challenge in not just in kumeni but literally but this is a insurance I can tell you for sure I have been shorting it for almost a year. Kenya entertainment is dead. I cope. We do the same things. That's what I try to do. We see now what we are bringing but now this year I want to make a lot of money because I'm trying to hold any potato debt. You too. We want a potato too. We want a light too. We want a light too. We want a potato too. We want a light too. So I want to be ready but most importantly this year I want to I'm tired of working but they say that the sleeping dogs who come from South Carolina so I want to make a lot of money in 2020. President Agisema we just have to wait because we know you can get crazy you can get everything you can go overboard. I have no limits. That should be very good for creativity. You've mentioned South Africa the young rich and famous. There's no rich. Afrikan with young famous young famous and African people insisting on rich. But do you think they picked anyone who is actually not money? No this was money. They are extremely money. So you took up a person to make material to patch up stories. I want to I want to be ready Do you want to? But anyway as you continue I was asking you mentioned South Africa now you made a comparison you made a comparison which is of material especially the last season and this South African series what do you think is a comparison Yes I feel like I've been vindicated I feel like I'm way ahead of everyone So by that time I was like wait you don't remember what I've done last year so that really made me feel nice because people have judged people have said what is this you are doing it's dirty it's not family it's maybe what is this you are doing I keep telling people this is where the one is going to I keep saying we are competing against Kevin Hart I'm not competing against David anymore I'm not competing against Opina or for the money I'm competing against Trevor now and I'm lifting my flag and running against Kristok So now I feel like I've been vindicated because the number one show in Kenya which was done in South Africa is South Africa It's an exact copy cut of what material I can tell you I'm an entertainer for 14 years Somebody watched, somebody copied the format I'm extremely sure I've watched many Yes of course it is top notch Even the music Shout out to Jimmy Kimaita for the interview and our staff Oh and your director Oh my God we put a kanzi anyway because we put it as is sometimes people don't appreciate what you do not because whatever you've done is not good Yes it's not the message they have a problem it's the message and that is a mentality that you have to stop we have it's called more you see none of us should go up all of us should be okay we have to go up where are you being to go up poverty mentality so it's not that they don't like what you do they don't like being great or they don't like one of their own to go up again so but I feel very vindicated the fact that people love young females as we became it was material so much because they did it before they did it do you feel like it's the same case with gengeton it's the gengeton artists that are from the ghetto that we don't support we don't support we like you when you when you rely when you need us when you belong and need us per se so it's not it's not about it's not about what you have at the end of the day it's just about you it's not even about so someone like me it's not about the guys but now it needs to be common we don't pretend it do I look like I care do I ever look like I care so that's the attitude you stay there where about since he started you know pushing the 75% local content do you feel like there is any difference no time or difference since he started there is omelana tenu but in general in february they are in persona but even now we have albums coming up the albums we have very nice well strategized album launch here we need to this album coming up we need to help we need to help bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm You should have approached it differently because you started by calling them out. Did you feel like ok, they've been here once, but now it is what it is, we go with it. People say, Erikomondi has a good message, she doesn't even have a package.  That is the nonsense. Because it doesn't work like that.  You cannot negotiate. These are like terrorists to our economy, created economy. We have to call them out. We have to call them out. So we cannot negotiate with them. We cannot talk to them. You call them out, name by name. You say being, you are a person who is afraid of being attacked by the young generation.  You have to call them out. You say wewwew, nani feymoan kumelala. We do that. If you want to talk to them, how you feel about dress? I'm the president of entertainment. I'm the president of entertainment. I'm the chairman of entertainment. And in my jurisdiction, and in this country, I will not allow anyone to sleep on the job. You will be fired. Ita fikamanitawachata. There's no conflict of any kind. Especially outside Kenya. Because of the president of Komité in ... Title salma lohua. San terms pret reports. So is�ig drawin us animal? So is wrong and Regardless of the boundaries of future.  Mugabu, I will be here in the seat until the day we meet her. Would you like such a president for us? Yes, we need a candidate to dictate. Really? Yes. Someone who will, his word is final. Jenda parabara, na kumukamu he? Anikonamu ka na faya? Nama mishukin asi. Mishukos a dictator, his word is low. Yes. Nagechi, that's the way things will work. Bia, mazakina parizi wituza. Atyu, konini babara jemadezo. At the contractor at the segment, at the engineer, and the eater, the distributor at the segment, the contractor at the department. Maia. Dictator. Yes. That's what we need. We need a boy. We need a boy, this kind. We will wait and see, you know. But now Eric, of course, here we have to talk about women. As in where Eric is mentioned, women are mentioned. Eric yubiku linked to quite a number of women. Yes. And I would really like to know, what comes in your mind when people in kumutuza? You know, as an entertainer, if you're liked or associated with women, it shows success. Oh, it does? Yes. We only general you and me. Women are the ones who express joy, positive emotions. They express achievement. When you go to a show, and the men are like, whether it's a concert or a competition. Yeah. Oh my God. When you are there, you approve. Yeah. So if I'm associated with women, it shows success. But you know, Eric, I don't know if you're contradicting yourself, but it's a time we told people, hour 21, hour, hour concept, it won't.  Women, yes. Women do women help. Mama out. That's what I call mama out. I fight women. Yeah. I fight women. I would like to know among all those women that you've been linked to, I would ask you, is your favorite, of course you will not answer me that, but I would like to know what is that one personality that all of them have? You people have told us them about Naka type. It shows you type uponikani. So maybe it's personality. What personality do you think all of them have? What is the same? This is all the women alone your family is women talking about. We've never seen your mama being linked to you if you were. So no, not your family. But she's linked to me. Yes, but you've never seen it. Live alone family. Okay. Yes. They are African. They are African. So what does that mean? Of course they are African, but it's not a personality. It is? No. African women have a personality that being African. One common thing about the women is that I love and appreciate African women. No, that's you. Yes. That's not what they have. Okay. One African. Yes, that we know. They are all gorgeous. Beautiful. No, it's a personality. You tell me that. Personality traits. They are all they are they are forgettas. They are forgettas? They are people who don't know who are forgettas. Yes. They are not forgettas? Yes. Yes. I want to serve you in generalization. Yes. They are women who know what they want. Yes. And they are women who know what they want. Yes. And most of the time they are forgettas. Yes. You know you decided to present to us a you didn't tell us what exactly she is to you. Yes. You did not tell us.  I won't go in that direction because you might as well as help my question. But I'm going to ask you how does it make you feel when in the presence of me. When in the presence of me I should say I'm about to win. She cannot go to win. Yes. When I'm in the presence of me I feel that I'm about to win. Because I feel my name is down. It's called what my card is down. Yes. My card. Thank you. And then because if you don't know you don't know what company then you can't be with them whichever way you know. Yes. Okay. That's nice to hear. Now you know you've been a guest of Edgar O'Variedek. And they like to ask when I sit down with an influential person even just a famous person I like to ask them what do they think about what Edgar O'Variedek and especially because you've been a guest therefore. Edgar is the best thing that happened to Canada. Okay. We need to appreciate Edgar we need to award Edgar. Yes. Edgar has helped the Kenyan entertainment. I don't know about those other things Kenyan entertainment. Yes. Shobis. Aha.  Edgar is the best thing that ever happened to Kenyan entertainment. Yeah. Edgar exposed Kenyan entertainment to an individual. Yeah. We are we are fans who are invited to the lives of their celebrities. Yeah. Their personal lives and that is how Shobis works. Yes. If you cannot take Edgar get the help. Yeah. You end up if you are an entertainer Yeah. and you have personal issues against Edgar O'Variedek and you end up Yeah. I know sometimes it goes too far but that is Shobis. Yeah. Yes. You are a public figure want to know you are only a star want to know if you are a star want to know what you are eating what you are wearing who you are sleeping with why where is your wife Yeah. and it's upon you as the entertainer you are a public figure Yes. but I could all work happy is our president Yeah. So the same way with the entertainers. Yes. That's Edgar O'Variedek. I'm always on his posts. Yes. He entertains me he informs me he opens up a celebrity life for me as a celebrity I deal with worship from Edgar. Yes. Yes. But you are going to really as a celebrity because many people are working here That's okay. And that is entertainment. And that's the price you choose That's the price you fear a celebrity. Edgar is the biggest papalazi in Africa. Yeah. Because actually no in Africa because Edgar from his comfort the comfort of his house Yes. he has been able to convert every Kenyan into a report Yeah. into his report Yes. every Kenyan into how to cause Edgar Melale Yeah. I can go check it Team Master Amkar has been able to activate and convert every citizen into into a report So he's made them become part of our lives Yeah. But what about the people?

I don't know, I go to this center. I don't know how to get to church, I don't know how to became famous, I don't know, but I know it's all done by God. So my security is always in God. And I usually tell people God is the biggest corporate.  There is no CEO that can tell me shit! So I believe that my life is in the hands of God. I don't want to go to spiritual and I understand to some extent where I am headed through the direction of God. I know it's not to go too deep but I know where I am going and I know who is taking me there. And another person is as I should. And so I usually say that the biggest culprit is God. The biggest CEO is God. And that is the culprit here who is in this. We can look at him but he is the culprit in the talk. And we see how he is facing me. That's what I am saying. That way, we tell him in the witness list. Yes. So behind all these confidants of capital letter on social media is God. You spelled it out. That is the excuse I will give you today.  What? 2-20-10 Akishwali, 2-3, I was still in high school, then I got a dream. You got a dream in Adabu? Eh, I was still in, oh yeah, I was in primary. Okay, yeah, almost graduate high school.

For one? Yeah. So to a foyote, you need to go. What were you doing? You need to go to Kirae. Oh, you want to go? Yeah. And you need to know we say if I need to go to Kirae. Okay, correct.

I'm sure. So when I was in Kisumu, I got elected as the senior chairman. Oh, and you were out of school at the moment. So that has never happened. Yeah. So when I was in Kisumu, I was called in the community. So what they do in the school is they ask the school to be in the community. We were to be in the community. Then the one with the most names, the top three, they go to a lecture. So they can be in the community. We will get them up and up. Senior chairman. Senior chairman, okay. So they took me next week in the lecture. Yeah. And out. Yes. Senior chairman, the first time. Yeah. Then that became a blessing because now, the senior chairman is that? At home.

And in this, the senior leadership is the leadership. Oh, okay. It's a church institution. We have more power than the political guys. Yes. So, meaning I was the student leader. For sure. So I'm in Kisumu. Hey, look at how God works. Hey, man. So they call me back. They say you can't be home until the leader. Oh, sure. So what's the problem? Why you go? Yeah. I was sent for a while because I was confused. This time was, this time was. Hello. We have a student leader who was the center of the PRS. Yeah. And he is in the lecture.

Where will digital media be in this case? Yes. In the next, ah, I don't want to say, when you say one days too much. Yeah. In the next one year. Yeah. The digital online media is going to be the mainstream media. Because digital media, ah, here it is, we live in a global village, we live in a global village. Yes. And there we are. Now, the world is one big first of the restaurant. Attack on the Chiefs, say, ah, here it is. Attack on the Chiefs, kumbocha. But here I say ma'ilu, you copy a clip. Yes. So you can go to Samoja for news. But when I go to school, it's Peter. It's the SPM attack. Yes. Yes. I don't want to say kido on the corner, I like it. I like that.

So online media gives you news why it's happening, when it's happening, where it's happening. For sure. Talking about digital now, you know, YouTube, artists, Diamond, Black Nams. He just released an EP or rather, an album, rather, and it's not Kenyan artists in the EP. Yes, of course. I can't do it if it's not Kenyan artists in my EP. Why? Why do you think they are not Kenyan artists in the Japanese music world? Kwa na jesiawa. Kenyan. Kuna tam mojeshwa? Why do you think kakuna? I actually wanted to hear your thoughts about that. My thoughts are that Diamond cares about his EP. And he's here in me. He's here in his fancy now on Milano.  Why would you, why would you put, why would you put a sleeping person in the video? In the video. I'm not going to let you sleep. Yeah. So why would you not shoot that video?     I'm not coming. But now, don't you think now like what you've done has contributed sort of negatively now to people seeing our flows? Mm. They have to see your flows. You have to wash your clothes. If you can't wash your clothes in private, you can wash it in public. Yes, that's why she's in public. Go and do not wash her or I don't think you need me in public. You can now have a pisha and you can call out and shout out because this is rooftop. Melala, I'm kidding.       Don't go. Two times. Wait, say. You know, we have to speak about gengiton as well because I mean, B.J.P.Nia, they have spoken about how gengiton is something is a genre that cannot get out of the country. But also, they exist gengiton artists themselves who are very talented. I'm a lover of gengiton music. But I feel like when people actually bashed them and talked in love them, they sort of, you know, they sort of went down because they have a talent but probably not Yes. We just needed to take their beat, take their style because I appreciate gengiton because it's Kenya. It's a hundred percent. It's authentic in Kenya. So what we needed to do is when we were young people that gate, it came it came from ghetto. So these people need direction. For sure. They need the young and they came up with the sound of this Kenya. So we needed to guide them. I don't entirely believe that they can't go international. They are not going international but it's so easy. Yeah, we are right now singing whatever dancing to a mapeano. A mapeano. Yes. So we just needed to help the audience, package them, push them. But could you just speak to the gengiton artists who are also willing to, you know, to just put the flag of gengiton. Yes, limited to all the gengiton artists listen to the voice of the president of entertainment you are our only hope of entertainment of music in this industry.  Your song is Kenyan. It's like I'm a piano South African and Afro is Nigerian and Bongo is Tanzanian. So gengiton is Kenyan. You are the only people that I expect because you came from nowhere and created your own beat, your own sound. Yeah. And me I want to tell gengiton guys to not give up. Let us have a second wave. Kama corona. So we present corona in Asia. But you know that in Asia even is a muku de kama kron. Neto ma? On my terms as a muku de stola mutua fact killer mututukue. Infected, we will support you guys. What we need to do is get you guys collaborations with Nigerians, Tanzanians so that this sound can go out there. So the gengiton will know. Yeah. And we need to do a gengiton festival. We saw mama piano festival and we thought it was a gengiton machine. But you guys are okay. We are okay. Yeah.

Because I was too big to ask. And then I also began moving forward. I was working so hard. I was making the whole decision now. I just said, ah ah. That was satisfying. Ya, okay. I don't care. Ya. But looking back, would you advise the same to the young, you know, young comedians or young just artists? No, save the best. First. Ya. So it's not a matter to tell them to take.

So how is your relationship with Zahari? Zahari, right? Yes. How is your relationship with Zahari? We always had a wonderful relationship with Zahari, he calls me dad, I call him son. Yes. What happened was stupid, to some extent we were in trouble, very responsible. And the emotions that were involved, they were scarce.  Now corporate will say I'm a deadbeat. Let me say, you see, the emotions, they were anger issues. We just, there was no asiras had. Yes. Absolutely. But Zahari calls me dad too. He knows me dad. Yes. I call him son. Yes.

That's the only thing I'll teach him. Yes. And I'll teach him to my life. Never ever give up. Takapali kwa napaleda is mufi. Kwa pakef napaleda is zima pindi. Yes. So what's a persistence? Very much interested to know as well if you had a girl child, or just girls as children, what is that one less one? You as a man, as a 40-year-old man, you'd actually tell them when they start growing up, they're teenagers, what is that one less one? You tell them as your daughters? Don't be a trust man. Until? Oh, until? Until? Until when they started growing up. Pakef pakef napaleda is zima pindi. Don't be a trust man. That's how it is. Those are my daughters. I'm not telling them, don't do this with men. I'm just saying, daughters don't easily be a trust man. But how do you know that man is not enlightened to you? Who is he working on a tactic? Yeah, exactly. Who is he working on a tactic? That's what I'm telling ya. Don't easily trust a man. So do you believe men are cunning? Men are naturally cunning. Men are hunters. Men are seducers. They are seductive. It is how it is created. A man will say anything and everything to get a man. And you cannot believe it. That is how nature is. Manu wa katia at her. I must say, we live, we live and go over both of those stuff. She said, nama pindi. But I'm just saying, so be careful. Be careful. How many daughters? Yes. How many daughters? That's my dream. Three daughters. Three daughters. Three daughters. Because it's great to look on our show. So we can manipulate what we are. I love to meet girls. What about you? What about me? Do you follow your celebrity life? Do you become famous? Therefore, they can just stay like that. To different celebrities also. What about me? How many are you doing? Lafakifika six, seven are lucky up. Miki kwa zawa kin, herik sata, your girls, your confidence, your power. I want three girls. We will be here to see. How you treat them and how you know. No, I treat them.

Herik ana pianga nini hawa was shana. Respect. Kwa ni you want to meet all these other men? Don't respect me. No, they don't.  Atu do you want to buy data for them to see how they look. We just want to tell them how they look. Taktik ni gani Edgert. Because we want to know what treatment women like me if I lived in the days of my father and grandfather. I would be, I would have six, eight, why is not. Does it mean it, you treat them to finances or what? 360. 100 percent. Finances. Care. Respect. Love. Just give them the full presentation. Give them.

As a man, if you don't have money, don't approach a woman ever. Ever. It is a sin before good. If you don't have money, look for money. Don't look for women. It is wrong. Men are supposed to be leaders. They are supposed to take care of families. And especially wives, women, it is a manate from God. And I would tell men if you don't have money, don't ever try to think approach a woman. Wachana na apite? Yeah. Wachana, usimu salami e, usimu tamani, usimu unge, usimu kati e, usimu kamauna kitu konfuto, because you have finances. So you tell me kumkati e, inili Express Erawfonli. Apitiiempo.

Mimim, kunia ungele liya, I always recommend. Every time we talk about well and negative, especially negative in the poison, those humans love negative things. They don't like... Usha wa na rusi kwa news. Ha, kha, na wato ape na wato ape. It's like by news health. So, there's no negative of this. Do you watch news by the way, on mainstream? No, maybe on YouTube. I don't understand. I watched TV. Yeah. I don't have TV. I have YouTube. Each woman has been doing things outside the TV. How do people watch her days? I'm a little confused. You've done it two times already. Yeah, I've done it two times already. I think there are different TVs when you're sitting in a corner, feet to air or something, I don't know something about this outside TV. Like, now I see a YouTube and I'm playing. Actually, there's one Twitter I use on my Instagram. The president. I'm almost done with him, guys.  Tell them how to go about just growing ethics from the hate because it really brings down a lot of people. So, what's your public feeling? I don't think I'm feeling as if we're going to go to it. Because I'm not give up. Guys, we're really talking about Twitter. I'm not come here. I think I remember him saying that, yes. The moment you choose the path you have chosen, you must develop an extremely thick skin. Yeah. How would you say, how would you like to develop a thick skin?  Kina maza is very easy to kill, it's all done. You keep it like that, like it's a kina maza. And a ringa, a band of ringa, oh, so do you need me? Ok, by God. Do you know something, something strange? Yes. That used to happen to me, the fairies. And that's when I started getting up. Like I said, my name, it had been a name. So, and sometimes it still happens today, but very rarely. Because I think I'm a shaggy study, I'm a kina shaggy study. So, anytime I would pass people, you know my special, I would get a doctor. And I would say this is not that. This is not that. This is not that. Yes. This is not that. I think I know, I think I know that. The same people, who repeat and who like it. Can I do two? What do I mess up that I do? I wanna have a pizza, I keep. Okay. I'm not that. I want a chair. In gum. So, I think I'm going to go to Shila. I think I'm going to go to Shila. I think I'm going to go to Katikwa, Toyota, Caprimo. I'm going to go to Shila. Shasam Shila, I'm going to go to Shila. Okay, so this might happen to you. Definitely, I think it's going to happen. Yeah, that's it. I'm going to go to Caprimo, I'm going to go to Shila, so I'm going to go to Shila. I guess, I guess for sure. Now, Eric took him alizia. I would like to know, how much are you worth? Because we see you splashing money, you doing these things that are expensive. You're getting endorsements.  Only later more by CBD. Eric, I saw an account, a bool, to advertise. You go off a bool, I mean that. I shout out to you for that, by the way. How much are you worth? So, jokes aside, showbiz aside, what are you going to do? I'm going to go to Palisia, where I'm going to be rich. Famous in Africa, I don't know how to qualify, I guess. I don't know. I'm going to be rich. You least, you don't know how to say money, rich. Yes. Yeah, and I also almost want to thank you for this. You least, you don't know how to say money, rich. We have a list of jobs. No, no, no, no. We don't have a list. We have a list, we have a list, so we have a short list. Aaah. We have a list. We don't have more. You are welcome. As you may know, at Kodjiabua, I respect the president and I collect the next. Right, right. So we have a list of Africa, i.e., we are going to have Jiggy, we won the K-wish, so I think he did it out of respect. We do a camera, … We go to Kwe ah, If your money can be counted, if you can say, this one has one car, one house, what are you doing? Yeah, I'm sure it's about how much you want. No, so me, if you look at it, let's go now to Echikipindi. Let's look at the actresses. Let's be honest now, let's have a conversation. You know we can lie. We can if people want to. So to avoid people lying and playing us, let's look at it. What's the meaning? The realistic things here they are. Who was the most endorsement in this industry from day to day? That's you. You must put this as the number one co-producer. Yeah, yes. I'm the chief campaigner. You don't need to say what? Those are kind. But if you look at it from the bottom of your head, it's still me. I have always had contacts. Let's put that as the number one co-producer. Let's take shows. Do you know anyone who's done any of the shows in the past six months? Chibukizi. Chibukizi? Yes. Maybe this one? Yes, that one. But if you look at the work I do. The endorsements I have. And the shows I do. One thing about these things is that they are extremely consistent. You can assure one of the past six months. When is the next day? You can assure each other. No, actually you've done a lot of the shows. So let's take a little. Yeah. One of the last time I went on to the Mishikamaik. Akinda Pamela. That's the last one I remember. Pamela, I want Pamela.  I want to be the committee leader. So I want Pamela to be the head of the committee. The head of the committee. The head of the committee. It does better in the committee. When was the last time you told me the show and my endorsement? I don't know about money. I have the evidence that I am probably the richest. If we are in a court of law, I can bring my papers. I can bring my contracts. This is my baby boy even if it's impossible. Your Honor, this is the district. Your Honor, this is Lato. Your Honor, this is Baby Show. Your Honor, this is Sport Peso. Your Honor, this is a student tour. It was supposed to be filed on your Honor. Your Honor, this is on Jigu. Your Honor, we have the smaller ones. Your Honor, if you just give me time. Your Honor, this is the contract of the shows I've done in the past one year. The first page is East Africa, you go under 7 times, 13 times Kenya, there's a team. Your Honor, time will not allow us, but if you allow me, your Honor, you can go and let's go to the middle of the night. Your Honor, the ringtone may take in Istanbul. I don't think we need to know more when it comes to your next one. Honesty, I think that's enough. If we can do the match, we can do it. We will find a woman in Egypt and we will go to the comments section. Tell us how much do you think is one, you know? 20,000. Now, I don't think my easier can be some. I can't believe I'm asking this, but what value do you possess as a man that you know that you're going to to a marriage when you decide to settle? Or what is it like? In marriage? Yes. It's a hard one guys. Let him think. I'm very proud of communication. I have a problem. I have a problem. I don't know. I know how to treat a woman that I've been told I'm not affectionate. Oh really? Ya. Okay. So it confuses me. But what is that thing? I'm thinking. So I'm thinking, let's do a communication with Mumbai. I want to be the apple to atta fraya. Sekete. Hai. Shumari. Sekete. You see why I'm not affectionate. Eh. To make up a marriage, I'm not affectionate. Eh. As in what is that when I think, when if I'm your wife, for example, what do I think I'll appreciate the most having you as my man, as my half-friend? As a woman. Yes. I'm very big woman. Honor and respect. For a woman, I say that as a woman. For a woman. Ya. Aha. For a woman. You're very big on respect and honor. Yes. Just to honor and respect her. In the setting of marriage. Yes. To honor, I mean to just showcase her. To respect and compliment. Ata, ata. Everywhere I go, people will know. Ya. Before I do anything. Before they pite ata pite. That's honor. Yes. ya. Ya. Nшаяi yako nisha nohi. ya. Ya. Ya. Nisha rata kweza.  And that's why I get confused. I'm told I'm a 3, I'm a 2 or 3. I've been told I'm a 3, 2 man, right? But I'm not romantic. It's in a jubola case. Oh really? Yes, I've been told I'm 0. I'm not romantic at all. I'm not sentimental. Because I think I'm working on it. Is this something you've thought of working on? Yes, I'm working on it. I'm trying to see the difference first. So the man insert was explaining what he's got. Kwa baya dei mqoklet na fava. No, I was in a church there for fun. And at that church, they were saying it was funny. If you want, na kum. Na kum siw, na kuya na kum skeza. Now, just show, be careful. So you think of it so, says, well, do it whatever you want.  Anyway, meet me at One. It's called Love Language, Eric. Do you know what your love language is? Because it could be touch, it could be words of affirmation, it could be, you know, acts of service. Amma awa ya hanimi, amma, amma. What kind of public display? Oh, enemy, kani touch.  I'm not touching, I'm not extremely touching. Aha, so touch is your love language. Now, quality time. You women probably need quality time to be sure not to be able to touch. That's what I agree, I agree. But touch to, to come back out, and that will balance. That will pick up the female that we know and pick up the amma. It's touch. It's touch, it has to be touch. So it means if you're not in the same, you know, close location with your spouse, then that would be a problem, you will not be able to show love. Yes, you cannot call that problem. It's touch. It's touch. Those are some things we should know. But we will find out if you're working on it. You know, just being a little bit romantic, if you're working on it. I will talk to you. Selene, will you promise me something? I will come to you. We will find out if it's becoming better at that baby. But that was an interesting contradiction. I don't know if you have last words for your fans. What should they expect? What is coming next? Do we have an next? There's an exclusive something that is happening in May. It's not far. That's the one that I've asked for now. And it's been close of time 40. So we're going to pick. As I told you when we started the interview, we are leaving Kenya. We'll be in Kenya, but we've left Kenya. We are going now, international. But you know what, we speak less and act more. So in May, something big is coming. And it's also good that I turned 40. So it's very symbolic. But lastly, I want to say thank you guys for supporting me. 14 go 15 years. I know I'm dramatic. I jump a lot. I shout a lot. But don't ever forget that I appreciate you guys. I love you guys. And I love you here because of you. I mean, I believe that a hundred percent you're trying to make the industry grow better. The show business become better. People open their minds. And I'm really hoping everyone can see that. Just be with you in the initiative that you're planning to. And we can't wait for the May project. May project. And thank you so much. This is the first time ever in my life. Yes. I want to one. I know. Yes. I'm beautiful. Now I can only know me. So May. May. We'll be here to talk about it again, you know.

British Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack acquired his local soccer club Bedford FC in December 2021. Combining his loves for Bitcoin and football, he renamed the club Real Bedford and onboarded Bitcoin-friendly sponsors including Gemini and Casa. Equipped with a Bitcoin treasury and supported by the Global Consortium of more than 150 million Bitcoin Hodlers, McCormack explains the team aspires to reach the Premier League, the pinnacle of English Football League excellence. Cointelegraph visited the club on the first match of the 2022 season to watch a game, pay for pints, burgers and even football shirts with Bitcoin and engage in a light-hearted post-match interview with McCormack. You'll see a bit of a theme going throughout, but basically I'm going to give you three seconds to answer each question, you know, five if you really have to think about it. Are you ready? I'm ready. So number one, you've got to choose one here. Bedford to win the league this year or Tottenham Hotspur to be relegated? Bedford to win the league. Bitcoin above or sub-30k by December 31st? Sub. Big Night Out in Las Vegas or the Rosed or Closed? It's a local club. Rosed or Closed? How do you know that? Did my son tell you? No, my friends are in Bedford. I've done Rosed or Closed a few times. Do you know why that's funny? It's like I used to go to the Rosed as a kid. Okay. My son's now 18, he goes there and he invited me down. He's like, come on dad, Rosed or Closed. I was like, come on, you can't say that to me. Yeah, Rosed or Closed.  I mean, I'm saying that proud to be honest. I'd much rather be in Vegas. I'm too old for the Rosed. I'd look creepy in there. I bet. Okay. If you could choose which country would adopt Bitcoin as legal tender next? That's a great question. Oh, America. Nice. Choose one, a good podcast or a good audiobook? A good audiobook. Choose your fighter, Nick Carter or Corey Clipsting? What are they fighting for? They're both my friends. I know this is why it's such a tricky one. Yeah. Do you know what? I'm going to pick Nick Carter, but I'm going to explain it. I want to know what arena you're seeing them fighting in as well. Well, it's just, Corey does, you know, Corey's fine at the moment. This could be Tekken. This could be a game of Mario Kart. This could be... Yeah. I mean, I don't think Corey needs help. I'd pick Nick because Corey's killing everyone. I like what you think there. Okay. Nice. Cointelegraph or CoinDesk? Oh, Cointelegraph. Come on, man. I just thought in response to that last question. Yeah, it's easy. That's easy. Cointelegraph are here. Okay. Oh, Cointelegraph's not visited. Yeah, where the f*** are you? Barry, come on. Good. Bedford or Texas? Bedford. Okay. Wow. You really do like Bedford. It's coming through. Okay. Finish the phrase here. I'm going to test your sort of Bitcoin or meme knowledge. So, have fun staying blank. Poor. There is no blank best. Second. You will own nothing and you will be blank. Happy. Stay blank. Stacks out. Stay humble. Stacks out. Very good. Okay. Cool. And this is a biology question, which is probably not going to make the cut for the YouTube video. So, one sperm contains 37 megabytes of DNA information. Okay. Which database has more? One ejaculation or the entirety of the Bitcoin network? Well, so the entirety of the Bitcoin network is about 400 gigabyte now. And one sperm has 37 megabytes. And I mean, and there's got to be a lot of, it's probably got to be the sperm because there'll be loads in there. Nice. Yeah. Correct. Easy. It's probably absolutely not even close. Do you want the stats? Yeah, go on. I mean, my node this morning is about 580 gigabytes, the Bitcoin network. And one ejaculate is 15,875 gigabytes of DNA information. Not even close. Which is about 130 MacBook Pros. Wow. You know, to visualize it. Yeah. There you go. That's a weird question. I like it. That should make it. Yeah. Bit off the wall. Is there anything else you'd like to share? Who do you support? In the Premier League? Football. General. Man United for my sins. Okay. Man United to win the league or Bedford to get in the Premier League?  Can you imagine Bedford getting in the Premier League? Is that seven years away or? Nine. Okay. Six leagues. I said 10. I said with one year we won't go up. What I'm looking forward to is Bedford playing Oxford City because that'll be like the Bitcoin standard. I think we're going to play in the friendly next season. No way. Oh, like a Bitcoin meetup. Yeah, we've got to do it. We've got to do it. Yeah. So how do you feel first game of the season 3-0? It's like a post-match interview. I know. God. Real mixed feelings. Like relieved we won. Relieved because you've put so much into it. You just want three points. So proud of the team for the amazing performance they put in and everything our manager Rob's done. He's worked so hard over the summer. And then everyone, you know, behind the scenes that's made this happen. If you were here six months ago, you would have seen the different boardings. The pitch wasn't great. We put in this irrigation system that has made this pitch amazing to play on. And we've sorted out the changing rooms and we've put all the signage up. And we've organised the F&B. We've put so much into it. And to see all come together, it's really cool. And I'm really proud and just grateful to everyone who's got involved. Yeah. I mean, the first two goals within the first 10 minutes, it was a very confident one. Five minutes. Or was it the first five minutes? Yeah. I mean Kevin, did you see that first goal? Yeah, he actually pinged it in from the outside of the box. I can't wait to see the highlights later. Of course, because you stream it to a bit wider around the world. So that was a perfect start. And then another one of five minutes, you're like, oh, I can relax now.  But no, honestly, I'm happy and relieved. And just now it's, it's a funny thing now. It's like, all I'm thinking about is next Saturday. Oh, I bet. Let's go again. Yeah, yeah. Let's go again. So what was the original vision? Do you remind people of when this all came about? Why do you want to buy a football club of all things? Yeah. And make it, you know, the B for Bedford, obviously rings through there. What was Bitcoin in it as well? Yes. Good question. I mean, look, my dad would tell you there's ever since I was a little kid, I always said I wanted to buy Bedford. I wanted to buy Bedford Town next door. That's a little routine. But I always felt like our town could support a team in the football league. People who don't understand English football, there's four professional divisions, the Premier League, Championship League, one, league two. We have a population of 174,000 people here. And there are teams with smaller, there are towns with less people who've been in the Premier League. So I think our town can support league football. My goal was to buy a team and get them in the league. Bedford Town next door are doing really well, having a good shot of it. They're up to step three. We're step six, six promotions away. I've wound people up and said, we're going to get the Premier League. But the truth is, is I want to bring league football. I didn't ever know how I could do it. And then with my podcast and Bitcoin, I suddenly have access to two important things. Sponsors who will invest the money to allow us to do everything we've done here. And then followers, you know, who follow my podcast, who will support it.  And so that, that was the nucleus of being able to do this. And yeah, look, it's, yeah, it's really cool. And what about the bear market? Has that not posed any challenges to managing a football club that is running with Bitcoin? I mean, our biggest challenges is our sponsors of Bitcoin companies. Yeah, we are in a good position because they pay very good money to sponsor this. And we've created some exposure for them. At some point towards the end of the season, I need to go back to them and say, like, we deliver, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully we're promoted. And it's all going very well. But I need to go back to them and say, okay, we need to go to the next level. I need you to sponsor again. And we don't know what these companies will have the money to do that. I mean, if it's still in the bear market, perhaps not. And that's, that's one of the challenges of this. But yeah, we'll deal with that then. Right now, we've got to go win the league.


honor to receive the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award from Purdue University. It means a lot to be acknowledged by a university that has given me such a strong base and enabled me to accomplish so much and for that I'm grateful. So I want to share a little bit about my Purdue journey. Early in my career I was fortunate to be awarded a full fellowship to graduate school with the option to attend one of many prestigious engineering institutions and Purdue was at the top of my list. I actually wanted to attend Purdue as an undergraduate student but I missed the application deadline while I was in high school and I was devastated. Although I had stellar grades and a strong attitude for engineering, as a teenager I just didn't have the guidance or support to ensure I followed all of the steps needed for the admission process. And don't get me wrong, I had excellent parents, they were very supportive, however this whole process was foreign to them as well. My father was a successful business owner of an automotive shop which he achieved through hard work and perseverance and he had a very strong analytical mind but he didn't go to college and my mom, she was an absolute wizard with numbers, she was an educator but she only took a few college classes via night school. As together they both, you know, raised me along with my two older siblings. So as part of the graduate fellowship requirements I had to be accepted into a minimum of five Ivy League institutions and then I had an opportunity to interview with each of them so I could decide which one I wanted to attend. So when I arrived at Purdue's campus to interview some of the faculty and staff I was immediately impressed with one professor in particular. He was very casual in his approach but his brilliance and passion for dynamics and vibration it drew me in. He spoke to me as if I was already part of the Purdue family and I remember his enthusiasm when he began talking to me about potential research that I could do and the great space that I would have in the Herak Labs and his entire disposition was impressive to me and that professor was Dr. Chuck Crossbrill who also became my major professor for my graduate research and I've been asked many times like who's your favorite professor which is a tough question because I've had great experiences with so many for different reasons. However my relationship with Dr. Crossbrill was exceptional. He was tough and that's for sure but I knew he was completely invested in my success. I remember one semester I was just overwhelmed with the engineering curriculum and I just needed something to help balance the demand and so I signed up for a tennis class. Now I will take to my grave the method I used to get Dr. Crossbrill's approval without his knowledge. However one day I had to come clean. I was meeting with him reviewing some test results when he decided to have a full-on lecture with me regarding a complex vibration method and I kept watching the clock. I kept glancing over the clock because I needed to make it to this tennis class because getting a grade in tennis class was easy. You got an A if you made all the classes and you weren't late. If you missed any classes or was late your grade dropped to B you missed multiple classes you know down to a C so I just couldn't afford you know to get anything less than an A in this class but it was clear that Dr. Crossbrill was not even close to wrapping up you know this impromptu lecture and he caught me looking at the clock and I remember he asked if there was somewhere else I needed to be and I confessed and told him about the tennis class and he graciously let me go so I could be on time but little did I know that he would collect on that bill. The next time I met with him he significantly increased my workload and I remember he kind of gave me the smile and said you know I figured any grad student that had time for tennis you know I must be grossly underestimating the amount of workload that could handle and that was Dr. Crossbrill right he took full advantage of a teachable moment because he later explained to me if I had just been transparent you know that he would have supported you know me taking the tennis class however since you know I was not forthright you know there were consequences to my behavior and I've told that story before because for me I learned a great lesson which I carried with me in my professional career it's just far better to be upfront and argue your case than to attempt to be elusive and disingenuous so Dr. Crossbrill in addition to engineering concepts and methods thank you for teaching me about integrity and discipline and grace it's very evident why you have been the recipient of so many best teaching awards so now fast forward after obtaining my masters of science and mechanical engineering with a concentration in noise and vibration my career continued to progress through you know a variety of different roles but there were two in particular that were most memorable for me the first is when I was selected to return back to Purdue University on a one-year special assignment as a visiting professor or i.e. an engineer in residence program I taught the introduction to mechanical engineering design in me for 263 and then senior design in me 463 and I supervised a graduate student research project and I also participated in a ton of outreach activities including the inaugural year for the diversity council for mechanical engineering um it was an honor to bring my industry experience back to campus and helped shape the minds of college students um it was also great to experience the university in a different way I saw firsthand the passion and commitment of the faculty and staff to provide a quality education and stellar experience to the students and why Purdue's reputation as a prestigious world-class engineering institution is so important as well as very well earned um so it was after this assignment when I was asked and eagerly accepted an opportunity to be a member of the mechanical engineering advisory board and it's been my pleasure to serve the university in this capacity and then my second most impactful career achievement was my appointment to the executive global chief of staff for the electrical systems infotainment and electrification of automotive vehicles um I had oversight of the execution of a new global advanced battery laboratory and at the time it was the largest and most technological advanced automotive battery lab in the world um and this state of the art test facility was critical to expediting the introduction of electrical and hybrid vehicles during a very tough time in the automotive industry and as part of this role I also served as one of the technical liaison to high level government officials including president obama's automotive task force um the governor of michigan and an array of senators and members of congress um the influence of this role contributed to the acquisition of multi-million dollar government incentives um as well as the automotive government bailout so um a little bit more about my background um I've worked in research and development uh creative design product development engineering manufacturing and portfolio planning I've led global teams in north america and south america asia and europe and in addition to my automotive career I've had an exciting career in the plumbing industry where I served as vice president of new product development and engineering for global faucets uh for a coler company and later appointed to their vice president of advanced development for their global kitchen and bath group um and I just recently accepted an exciting role as the senior vice president of technology and global r&d for weber grill so um I attribute much of my amazing career to my Purdue foundation um it challenged the way that I think um it helped me possess a spirit of curiosity and innovation and um an ability to demonstrate a strong technical competency um I'd like to close by expressing my gratitude to Dr. Patricia Davies and Dr. Stuart Bolton for nominating me for the distinguished engineering alumni award Dr. Davies has been a shining example of phenomenal leader in engineering she was my first exposure to a leader who was a bold and unapologetic advocate for women in engineering and I channel her more than one occasions in my career and so Dr. Davies I thank you for blazing the trail for so many of us and to Dr. Bolton who is an amazing expert in acoustics I appreciate your mentoring and the patience you showed me as a student and also while I was uh an engineering residence on campus um I'm much appreciative of the committee for selecting me as one of the honorees um however I didn't make this journey alone um none of my achievements could be possible without an army of people who helped shape my life um my family and my friends mentors and sponsors who stood by my side through all the peaks and valleys um and most importantly to my parents now deceased provided me such a solid foundation they allowed my voice to be heard they encouraged me to challenge the status quo and they convinced me that I could do absolutely anything I desired I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to realize a dream and to not only graduate from but also be of service to such a great university um I will forever hold Purdue uh in my heart thank you and Boiler Up


Very first job was a local vendor at the Pacific Holocene for the Vancouver Connection when I was 15 years old. Well actually my brother started the business back in 1997 and one business venture that he was in previously led to this and then I was fortunate enough to have somebody that believed in me and about eight years ago he asked me to come work for him.


Hi and welcome to the session. Let's work out the following question. The question says if the bankers gain on a bill, the one ninth of the bankers discount the rate of interest being 10% per annum, find the unexpired period of the bill. Let's start with the solution to this question. Let T years be the unexpired period of the bill. Rupies S be the face value of the bill. R be the rate of interest per rupee per annum. Here, R is given to be 10% that is 10 by 100 that is equal to 1 by 10. Now, we calculate the bankers discount and bankers discount is equal to SRT that is S into 1 by 10 into T that is equal to S by 10. We also call this BT. Now, true discount that is TT is equal to SRT divided by 1 plus RT that is equal to S into T divided by 10 divided by 1 plus 1 upon 10 into T that is equal to ST upon 10 plus T therefore bankers gain is equal to BD minus TD that is bankers discount minus true discount that is equal to ST upon 10 minus ST upon 10 plus T but it is given that bankers gain is equal to 1 by 9 of bankers discount. Therefore, ST upon 10 minus ST upon 10 plus T is equal to 1 upon 9 into ST upon 10 or ST into 1 upon 10 minus 1 upon 10 plus T is equal to 1 upon 9 into ST upon 10 or 10 plus T minus 10 divided by 10 into 10 plus T is equal to 1 upon 90 because ST gets cancelled from both the sides. This further implies that T divided by 10 into 10 plus T is equal to 1 upon 90 this implies T is equal to 10 into 10 plus T divided by 90 this implies T is equal to 10 plus T divided by 9 this implies 90 minus T is equal to 10 this implies 8 T is equal to 10 and this implies that T is equal to 10 upon 8 which is further equal to 5 upon 4 S. So the unexpired period of the bill is 5 by 4 S. This is also our answer to this question. I hope that you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.


Very warm good evening to one and all present here this is team 16 and we are going to present a business plan and research which is a start research on which is a startup on exotic vegetable seeds. The name of our company is similar to a product that is exotic seeds. So, next slide please sir. So, coming to our team members, it consists of four people. Mr. Widbat, who is our Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Harman, our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Sayak, Strategic Lead and myself, Nishtha, Chief Marketing Officer. So, after completing our graduation with agriculture, we realized that the starting point of whole agriculture is based on seeds. But a lot of work has already been done in this field. So, being a little innovative, we stepped into the exotic seed market. So, coming to our company's vision, mission and values. So, the mission, vision and values, value statements together provide a direction for everything that happens in an organization. They keep everyone focused on where the organization is going and what it is trying to achieve. So, our vision is to emerge as one of the leading exotic vegetable company, providing people quality seeds and knowledge about the emerging industry. Our mission is to revolutionize agriculture by spreading awareness about the exotic vegetable growth and production and to deliver best to our customers. Coming to our values, first is client value. It is to surpass client expectations consistently. Second is integrity and transparency. To be ethical and sincere in all our transactions, third is fairness. So, it is to be objective and transaction oriented and thereby earn trust and respect. Fourth being excellence. So, we strive relentlessly and constantly and try to prove our team services and products to become the best. For a fifth is constant improvement and sixth is the basic of all discipline. Next slide please. Wow. Okay. So, before setting up for our company, we thought of doing primary research and also secondary research. So, first we did the primary research. So, what we did is instead of only focusing on farmers, let's also focusing on the people because nowadays people are getting more available to the organic production and all. So, if they want to grow for themselves. So, we did the market research, primary market research. So, main purpose is to know whether the people aware of the exotic vegetables or not. Then also the consumer preference, which are the type of vegetables they prefer. And also to know whether the people are interested or not to grow the exotic vegetables. So, for the promotion purpose, we differentiate into target groups. First, we thought about the age group. So, we divided it from 18 year to 40 year plus. So, we can easily concentrate during the advertisement and promotion. And also the area of residence. So, whether the rural area or semi urban or urban, then occupation. Whether they are students because if they are students, if they want to grow in their home or their homemaker or government official and so methodology. We first, we did the extensive research survey to know what is existing in the market. Then we determine the sample, like what are the questions to ask to whom to ask. Then we collected the data, we use the Google form. And then last, we analyze the data, which is collected. Next slide. So, from the Google form, what we got, these are the our finding. So, almost 79% people, they were know what is exotic vegetables. And when we asked, which are the exotic vegetables you prefer. Most people like 67% people, they told about broccoli, then 66% about the colored capsicum. Then lettuce, 49%, cherry tomato, 48% and red cabbage, 26%. So, these are the five vegetables which our consumers preferred most. And about the residence area. For the purpose of promotion, we also asked this. For 39%, most of the people they were from the background, then about 61% they are from semi urban and from urban area. So, we asked whether are you interested in growing vegetables or not. So, they said 72% people they were willing to grow. So, they said, yes, we are willing to grow. And about the type of growers, because this primary survey was most given presence for the people who want to grow for themselves, not for the farm area. So, about them, 64% they told they will grow in the backyard. So, kitchen garden. And 17% told they want to go in the field. Terrace garden, 11% and 8% pot gardening. Okay, so, next slide. So, to know, we are also concentrated on the farmers who grow extensively. So, in order to know the app in the system, we did secondary research. From the secondary research, what we found is main is a fake seed, because there is a limited supply of seed from government and private. So, many seed comes emerging. So, they are providing fake seed. So, if you use their seed, there will be a less germination percentage or sometimes there will be whole crop also. Then storage problem, because the seed has to be protected from sunlight and there is a pest problem is there and rodents also. So, for future use, we need to build a proper storage sector also. Then about the distribution. So, from the farmer's field who produce the seed to the another farmer who produce for the vegetable purpose. There are a lot of intermediaries which are present in the distribution system. So, we want to decrease this intermediaries. And last one is about the accessibility. So, there is no efficiency and reliable system for the farmers to get a quality seed at a reasonable cost. Mainly in case of exotic vegetables. So, these are the gaps we found in the system. So, we want in order to solve the problem, we thought of starting a company. Okay, next slide. We have identified the gaps in the system, but before entering in any of the industry, the competitiveness should be judged. And that can be done by Porter's high-force model. The center of the model, the main force is comparative rivalry. It's the competition between the existing companies. Here in this segment, in case of exotic vegetable seeds, there are not many companies, but they are in high values. But the main point is in case of current situation, 85% of the exotic vegetable seeds are being imported. And in current situation, in case of pandemic situation, people are driving more towards the sellers and nutritious vegetables. So, that is one of our market driver. And the next is the government is promoting the farmers to grow more exotic vegetables so that we have to import less. So, these things will help us in case of comparative rivalry. So, according to us, the competitive rivalry of the market is less. The next is threat of new entry. The threat of new entry is literally low because this is a nascent market and many of the industry players are not interested in this segment. So, the threat of new entry is low. But here is the main concern is that the entry barrier is also less, which can be a problematic thing. The next one is buyer power, which is the power of the buyers. Like in this current growing situation, people are more inclined towards buying exotic vegetables for nutrition. So, buyer power is generally increasing as the demand is growing. So, we can conclude that the buyer power is currently medium. The next is threat of substitute. So, in case of exotic vegetables, the threat of substitution means by what the vegetables can be substituted. So, we don't find any kind of substitution and the demand is also growing. So, threat of substitution is also low. And in case of supplier power, it's high because for seed production purpose, we have to buy Brita seed or Nucleus seed. So, supplier power is high. So, cumulatively, we can say that the entry to this industry is easy for us. Excellent. Thank you. The next one is production planning. After entering in the industry, as we are a seed business company, we have to plan our production. So, in case of production, we take five points and location. These exotic vegetables are generally tempered climate growing and they need chilling temperature before they are flowering. So, we have chosen Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh for our seed production purpose. The next one is plot selection. In case of plot selection, we will follow two kind of approach. For the initial years, we will lease out some plots for Brita seed production and R&D facilities. From this field, we will maintain our mother seed and which will be maintained for the next seasons. And the next one is farmer's approach model. Here, we will approach the common farmers so that they can help us by producing foundation seed and certified seed. And we will store that and we will sell that. The next one is seed production purpose. As we know, the seed production and certification is not an easy task and it is under seed at 1966. So, we have to approach local laborers for intercultural operations and for maintaining the certification program, we have to hire subject matter specialists who will observe the seed production and certification technicalities. The next one is storage and packaging. For the initial years, we will approach the already existing storage facilities because we don't want to invest in, we don't want to bulk invest and next, we will invest in case of storage and packaging. The next one is setting up storage up because in case of our supply to the customer, we will need a half. So, these things are under our production plan. The next one is equipment and facilities. We will follow same kind of approach in case of storage and packaging facilities. We will buy the necessary equipment and we will invest in establishing world-class R&D facilities. Coming to the next slide is our operations. How will we perform the task? The operations domain can be subdivided into three categories like as production domain. For this purpose, we will approach the current supplier of the breeder seed and for seed production and research purpose. Then I have already discussed our two kind of plot selection approach by which we will produce seeds and for seed certification purpose, we will hire SMSs. And the next one is storage facilities and R&D which is already being discussed. The next one is promotion. This thing is important. We will follow two kind of promotion strategies. We will approach the farmer who are generally willing to grow exotic vegetables. And we will approach corporate firms who are willing to expand in exotic vegetable production domain through contract farming models. Because we all know that new farm bills are very much optimistic. We are very much optimistic by seeing the new farm bills. We can do that. The next one is we will approach the current APOs through which we will penetrate the normal farmers. The next one, the next promotion strategy will be search engine optimization. This thing we will advertise our company through search engines like as Google and through advertisements. The next one is retailing. Our plan is we will approach mainly the Horeca segments like a hotel and restaurants, etc. We will target New Delhi as a brick and mortar store. We will open a single brick and mortar store initially and then we will expand after seeing our growth potentials. Our main model of retailing will be WhatsApp ordering. The customers will order through WhatsApp and they will pay us by traditional paying methods like as card payment or UPI. We all know about the feasibility of UPI through Google Pay or phone pay. And then for last mile delivery, we will use speed poster or any courier service so that we can supply the, we can deliver the seed at a low cost. The next one is delivering the value, the delivery channel. The supply channel or delivery channel is subdivided into four legs. The first leg is we will procure, we will collect the seeds from farmer and our contract farmer and then we will send it to our processing centers for like Winoying and other intercultural operation parts. And then we will send the process seed to dedicated storage facilities after having the packaging. The next leg is the next leg starts after ordering. We will establish a dedicated hub for different cities, a single hub and subdivided into different hubs. Here our storage, here our, here our seeds will go to the hub and then we will send these packets through packet to our physical retailers and online retailing partners. This is the leg three and from them packets will be delivered to end consumer. Thus we are planning to deliver the value. The next, I will request our chief marketing officer, Ms. Neeshta to continue. Thank you. Lovely. So coming to the marketing mix, it can be divided into four groups of variables commonly known as the four peas. First coming to the product, we basically deal with four vegetables that are broccoli, collard capsicum, lettuce and cherry tomato. The price range of these seeds varies from 120 to 360. The highest price being collard, being cherry tomato rupees 360 per five gram or per 50 seeds. And the least being the broccoli and lettuce being 125 rupees per 50 seeds. And the prices vary from vegetable to vegetable and coming to the place. Initially it was Uttarakhand because it is preferred as the climate in this region is suitable for cultivation of exotic vegetables. And later it can be spread to states like Karnataka, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh as the reviews from these states are really high. So the customers here are more as compared to other states and the headquarters are situated in Delhi and coming to promotion. So the activities that communicate the products features and benefits and pursuits customers to purchase the product is basically what we refer to as promotion. So we can do it with the help of newspapers, social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. And collaboration with every websites free gifts and higher purchases, etc. Can help the promotion and make people more aware about the new products. Next slide please. So coming to product promotion and publicity. So coming to the first point, offering a lower price than other brands. So penetration pricing is a marketing strategy used by businesses to attract customers to a new product or service by offering a lower price during its initial offering. So as we are a startup, we need to offer a lower price to attract the customers and of course it will attract customers away from the competitors. Coming to the next point, social media promotion. So social media marketing is a powerful way for businesses of all sizes to reach prospects and customers. The customers are already interacting with brands through social medias. And if we are speaking directly to our audience through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. We are missing out a lot if you're not doing this. So great marketing on social media can bring remarkable success to our business, creating devoted brand advocates and even driving leads and sales. Now coming to the third point. Next slide please. So using WhatsApp for placing our orders. It is the easiest way to connect to the people as almost everyone uses this app. The order can be placed through WhatsApp and then the product can be sent through the post. This method saves money as other options require a lot of money. So the next is collaborating with gardening sites and YouTube channels. So as these platforms are already being viewed by a large population. So collaborating with such websites and YouTube channels helps to increase the visibility of our product. Next slide please. So connecting farmers to the nearby hotels. So as the demand of exotic vegetables is highest from the hotels and restaurants. So to encourage the farmers to go for the exotic vegetables, it is necessary to have some benefits for them. Ensuring the farmers that the produce will be picked up by the restaurants by connecting them to the farmers motivates them to step out and try this new thing. And last thing that we can do for our promotion is free gifts on higher purchases. So to lure the customers, such schemes can be used. Small free gifts can be provided to the customers that will be useful for them. Such actions bind the customers and help to grow the company further. In this case of exotic vegetable seed company, the free gifts can be a seedling starter, trace it or a spade, travel, etc. Next slide please. Thank you. Good evening to all. So it's very important for a startup business to have a proper financial plan because they're starting the business. And if they don't consider the financial plan properly, the business will not survive in the further market. So first of all, a setup cost. So we are setting up the business and we require land. And as we're importing the business, as we have to import the seeds, we have to consider all the import permit charges and import duties as well as the licenses from the seed under the seed act from the governments. So that total setup cost is of rupees 19 lakh 81,000. Other than that, we have to set up the premises and equipment for salary for machinery because we are processing the seed further that senior grader, trader, etc. Equipments, vehicles, telecommunication, financials and fixes and that will cost us 18,90,000 rupees. Next slide. Starting operations and revenues. As we are importing the seeds, that are the raw materials for the first year because from further second year we will be collaborating with the FBOs and other farmers for producing the seeds in the Etra Khan region only. So for the first year, we have a high importing cost of 8,70,000 for seeds like red-shell tomatoes, broccoli, collard capsicums and the choosers. Other than that, we have a seed multiplication cost of rupees 2,15,000 as we are going to breed the seeds there. Then the third aspect that we are considering for the first year is a revenue. We have compared a price with the competitors and according to that, we have reduced a price by 10% from the other people in the market and set up a price with broccoli at 125, collard capsicum seeds at 375, red-shell tomatoes at 275 and choosers at 125. And a revenue for the first year would be rupees 9,50,000. Next slide. This is a business growth forecasting model because we are the first year we are start-up so we can't emerge with the further five-year forecasting costs. So for the first year, we would be having a revenue of 9,50,000 with cost of sales of 7,20,000, red-investing in research and development in 20,000 and sales and marketing charges of 1,00,000 because we have to increase our promotion charges this time. From the second year, we would see a 10% to 20% decrease in a cost of sales as we will not import that much of seed. We will be collaborating with breeders and farmer producers so that cost will be reduced and we will see an increase in a net income. And from the year third, other than that, we will also expend more money on our research and development. So for year one, we are having only 43,700 profit but till year three, we expect to reach to 4,43,175 profit. Next slide. So this is the overall summary of our project. The exotic seed, we have chosen a production side of a property market per day is considering that the template crops grow there's better. A target market is initially Delhi, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. We are considering the situation of existing gaps like accessibility, storage and fake seeds. A marketing mix consists of products with high value seed promotion, mini to digital media WhatsApp and using the Indian postal system. A price and underpire current pricing system and we are packaging according to demand that is 5 gram only seed package for vegetables. We are using a full external for delivering the value and from net income of first year for 43,700. We are going to 10 full increase up to 4,43,000 in three years. Thank you. Thank you. Oh my God. Congrats team 16 congrats. Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh my God.
