College Life
From being an exceptionally brilliant and outstanding student in school time things changed for him when he entered the college life and became a backbencher because of poor hold over English. He opted for engineering in college.

Stigma And Hurdle

The CEO of India’s joint E-Commerce company didn’t give up easily on the English language. He initially considered it to be the biggest hurdle in his growth but to learn the skills he took help of his friends, went to libraries to study books and magazines for hours together. Disappointed over his communication skills and to improve them he used to read the same book in 2 languages i.e. in Hindi and English.

Dreams About Silicon Valley
He dreamt of working with computers at Silicon Valley and during his college days, he also built a Startup by the name XS communication. It now serves as a content management system and is used by many publications worldwide. Even the famous newspaper “The Indian Express” uses it much often.

A Nightmare of Job Placements
The time when his batch mates were busy setting targets for placements he was building his own company XS. Being an electronic and computer engineer he learnt software coding all by his own.

One97
In 2005, he had to face a very tough time as he had a hefty loan of about 8 lakhs on him. Slowly things turned smooth when he partnered with One97. Paytm became a product of One97 Communications and a product which has actually changed the face value of the company, that once hit over 110 million registered users.

His biggest Inspiration
Alibaba’s “Jack Ma” and SoftBank’s “Masayoshi Son” are the biggest inspiration for the founder of Paytm, which is a giant Indian e-commerce.

He believes in the fact that if one has a dream, then one must work upon it and face the challenges head on to achieve great success.

WELDING

Welding is a fabrication or sculpturalprocess that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal. In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to form a joint that is usually stronger than the base material. Pressure may also be used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce a weld. Welding also requires a form of shield to protect the filler metals or melted metals from being contaminated or oxidized. Processes Arc These processes use a welding power supply to create and maintain an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt metals at the welding point. They can use either direct(DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is sometimes prot

What is Hurdle Technology?

Hurdle technology is a method of ensuring that pathogens in food products can be eliminated or controlled. This means the food products will be safe for consumption, and their shelf life will be extended. Hurdle technology usually works by combining more than one approach. These approaches can be thought of as "hurdles" the pathogen has to overcome if it is to remain active in the food. The right combination of hurdles can ensure all pathogens are eliminated or rendered harmless in the final product. Hurdle technology has been defined by Leistner (2000) as an intelligent combination of hurdles which secures the microbial safety and stability as well as the organoleptic and nutritional quality and the economic viability of food products. The organoleptic quality of the food refers to its sensory properties, that is its look, taste, smell and texture. Examples of hurdles in a food system are high temperature during processing, low temperature during storage, increasing the
