- Around October and November of 2015, Murali said he thought of a business plan and discussed the idea of starting a food business in Mysuru with his grandmother Indiramma, along with aunt Usha and Sandhya. They agreed to support him in cooking meals and deciding the menu.
- From 15-20 boxes a day in initial days, Murali and his family started selling 2,000 boxes a week in Mysuru.
- Explaining how Food Box stands out, Murali says, “We provide online home-cooked food. A meal like Pizza ordered from Zomato or Swiggy will cost you anywhere around Rs 400. But we provide enough quantity of food in one meal for Rs 80.”

- इस समय रेलवे ने देश भर में 300 से ज्यादा ट्रेनों के निजीकरण के लिए आरएफक्यू (RFQ) मंगाया हुआ है, जिसमें सिर्फ देशी ही नहीं बल्कि विदेशी कंपनियों की भी रूचि है। देश के सरकारी थिंक टैंक, नीति आयोग (NITI Aayog), की जो योजना थी, उसके मुताबिक इस साल जुलाई में आपको कई निजी ट्रेनों (Private Trains) का विकल्प मिलता। लेकिन कोरोना वायरस की प्रकोप की वजह से देश में लॉकडाउन क्या हुआ, इस योजना पर सही तरीके से काम नहीं हुआ।
- रेलवे ने बीते जनवरी में ही 150 निजी ट्रेनों को चलाने के लिए देशी-विदेशी कंपनियों से रिक्वेस्ट फोर क्वालिफिकेशन (Request for qualification) या आरएफक्यू मंगाया था। इसके लिए रेलवे बोर्ड में प्री बिड मीटिंग भी हो चुकी थी। लेकिन इस मामले में आगे बढ़ता कि कोरोना वायरस (Corona virus) का संक्रमण विदेशों से भारत भी आ गया और देश भर में कई महीने के लिए लॉकडाउन (Lockdown) हो गया।
- भारतीय रेल के नेटवर्क में प्राइवेट ट्रेन चलाने के लिए देशी-विदेशी सभी कंपनियों को मौका मिलेगा। इसलिए माना जा रहा है कि दुनिया के विकसित देशों में जो बेहतरीन रेलगाड़ी या रोलिंग स्टॉक है, वह भारत भी लायी जाएंगी। मतलब कि भारतीय यात्रियों को भी अब स्पेन या अन्य देशों में चलने वाली अत्याधुनिक रेलगाड़ियों में सफर का मौका मिलेगा।

- झारखंड के खूंटी जिले के एक छात्र ने व्हाट्सएप, फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम को टक्कर देने वाला एप बनाया है। डीएवी स्कूल में कक्षा 11 में पढ़ने वाले छात्र अभिषेक महतो ने ‘मेड इन इंडिया' सोशल मीडिया एप विकसित किया है, जिसका नाम इंडो बडी है। यह एप फीचर्स में व्हाट्सएप, फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम को मात देता है। यह एप इन तीनों विदेशी एप का कंबाइंड रूप है। केंद्रीय मंत्री अर्जुन मुंडा ने इस एप की लांचिंग की है।
- लांचिंग के अवसर पर अभिषेक महतो ने ‘इंडो बडी’ सोशल मीडिया एप के बारे में जानकारी देते हुए बताया कि इंडो बडी पर लोग पूरी दुनिया से जुड़ सकेंगे। किसी भी एप को लेकर उसके यूजर की चिंता होती है कि उसकी गोपनीयता बनी रहे। इंडो बडी एप में इसे प्राथमिक चिंता के रूप में समझते हुए उपयोगकर्ता की गोपनीयता के साथ बनाया गया है।
- उपयोगकर्ताओं का डेटा भारत में संग्रहीत किया जाता है और उपयोगकर्ता का डेटा उपयोगकर्ता की सहमति के बिना किसी तृतीय पक्ष के साथ कभी साझा नहीं किया जाएगा। इसमें कई तरह के फीचर्स दिए गए हैं, जिससे मैसेजेस, वीडियो को सुरक्षित रख सकते हैं। अभिषेक ने कहा कि इस एप को विकसित करने का मुख्य उद्देश्य भारत को एप के मामले में आत्मनिर्भर बनाना है। आज प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी मेक इन इंडिया पर जोर दे रहे हैं। इसी के तहत विदेशी एप पर से निर्भरता को कम करने के उद्देश्य से इस एप का निर्माण किया है।
