EP 8 - How Twitter plans to fight abuse and hate on its platform

How Twitter plans to fight abuse and hate on its platform. According to Twitter India Managing Director (MD), Manish Maheswari, the company has been proactively taking action against abusive behaviour in a ‘predictive way’ rather than just a ‘reactive way’. Manish tells YourStory Founder and CEO Shradha Sharma that in this endeavour, the company has been investing in machine learning (ML) and other predictive tools to call out and block abusive behaviour on its platform.  Read more at: https://yourstory.com/2020/12/twitter-india-fight-hate-abuse-manish-maheshwari

EP 7 - Starting Apollo Hospitals at the age of 50, Dr Prathap Reddy was called a ‘fool’

EP 7 - Starting Apollo Hospitals at the age of 50, Dr Prathap Reddy was called a ‘fool’

Apollo Hospitals Founder Chairman Prathap C Reddy went on to revolutionise India’s healthcare. He is often referred to as the architect of modern healthcare in India. The year was 1983. India was in the pre-liberalisation era, and the economy was shrouded in bureaucratic red-tapism. ‘Licence Raj’ was the order of the day. It involved an elaborate system of licences and regulations that were mandatory to set up and run a business in the country. The liberalisation policy introduced in 1991 was still almost a decade away, and setting up a business was a nightmare.

EP 6 - MakeMyTrip Co-founder and Group CEO Rajesh Magow had to deal with the difficult situation of seeing the company’s revenues plummet to zero

The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough on everyone. While several sectors have been hit badly, some have been more affected than others, travel being one such industry. India’s largest online travel booking company, MakeMyTrip, understandably found itself severely hit amid the coronavirus crisis, as its revenues plummeted from $500 million a month run rate to zero, when travel had been completely banned.
