भारत सरकार ने एक नया इंस्टेंट मैसेजिंग ऐप, सैंड्स शुरू किया है जो एंड्रॉइड और आईओएस स्मार्टफोन पर मुफ्त में उपयोग करने के लिए उपलब्ध है। राष्ट्रीय सूचना विज्ञान केंद्र (एनआईसी) द्वारा विकसित ऐप में व्हाट्सएप के समान विशेषताएं हैं, हालांकि इसका एक अतिरिक्त लाभ है। व्हाट्सएप के विपरीत, सैंड्स उपयोगकर्ताओं को अपने फोन नंबर के अलावा ईमेल आईडी के माध्यम से लॉगिन करने की अनुमति देता है। हालाँकि, ईमेल आईडी द्वारा लॉगिन वर्तमान में सरकारी अधिकारियों के लिए प्रतिबंधित है, हालाँकि भविष्य में ऐप के एक बड़े उपयोगकर्ता आधार को आकर्षित करने के बाद यह बदल सकता है। सरकार ने अभी तक ऐप के बारे में कोई विवरण साझा नहीं किया है, लेकिन पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी के डिजिटल इंडिया और आत्मानिर्भर भारत (आत्मनिर्भर भारत) के लिए धक्का देने के बीच नए मैसेजिंग प्लेटफॉर्म को प्रतिद्वंद्वी अंतरराष्ट्रीय अनुप्रयोगों में लाया जा सकता है।

आईओएस उपयोगकर्ता सैंड्स ऐप को ऐप्पल ऐप स्टोर के माध्यम से डाउनलोड कर सकते हैं, जबकि एंड्रॉइड उपयोगकर्ता जीआईएमएस पोर्टल के माध्यम से एपीके फ़ाइल प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। ऐप्पल उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए, ऐप आईफोन, आईपैड और आईपॉड टच के साथ संगत है जो कम से कम आईओएस / आईपैडओएस 12.0 पर चल रहा है। आधिकारिक ऐप विवरण में कहा गया है कि मैसेजिंग प्लेटफॉर्म सरकारी अधिकारियों, दोस्तों और परिवारों को जुड़ने की अनुमति देता है। विवरण में कहा गया है, "आपकी चैट एंड टू एंड एन्क्रिप्शन के साथ सुरक्षित हैं। प्लेटफॉर्म ऑडियो / वीडियो कॉल और मल्टीमीडिया और फाइल शेयरिंग का समर्थन करता है।" व्हाट्सएप के समान, सैंड्स पर अन्य सुविधाओं में संपर्क साझा करना, संदेश शैली, संदेश टैगिंग, बैक-अप और पुनर्स्थापना, फोन बुक सिंक्रनाइज़ेशन, समूह चैट, चैटबॉट, प्रसारण संदेश और बहुत कुछ शामिल हैं। पृष्ठ के निचले भाग में, उपयोगकर्ता चैट, संपर्क, समूह और खाते तक पहुंच सकते हैं। इसी तरह, संपर्क टैब व्यक्ति के पदनाम को दर्शाता है, बशर्ते कि जानकारी दी गई हो।

जैसा कि उल्लेख किया गया है, ईमेल आईडी के साथ लॉगिन केवल सरकारी आईडी तक ही सीमित है और यदि आप जीमेल, हॉटमेल या किसी अन्य ईमेल खाते से साइन अप करने का प्रयास करते हैं, तो ऐप दिखाएगा कि डोमेन की अनुमति नहीं है। वर्तमान में, केवल '@ gov.in' से समाप्त होने वाली ईमेल आईडी का ही उपयोग किया जा सकता है। इसके अतिरिक्त, जैसा कि पहले गैजेट्स 360 द्वारा बताया गया था, सैंड्स ऐप उपयोगकर्ताओं को साइन अप करने के बाद अपना मोबाइल नंबर या ईमेल आईडी बदलने की अनुमति नहीं देता है, और उपयोगकर्ताओं को नई संपर्क जानकारी का उपयोग करने के लिए प्रोफ़ाइल को हटाना होगा। इसके विपरीत, व्हाट्सएप में एक समर्पित चेंज नंबर फीचर है जिससे आप आसानी से एक पुराने फोन नंबर से एक नए नंबर पर जा सकते हैं - बिना आपकी प्रोफाइल को डिलीट किए। प्रकाशन में कहा गया है कि सरकार एक दूसरे ऐप पर काम कर रही है, जिसे संवाद कहा जाता है, जिसका अर्थ है बातचीत।

इसके अलावा, सैंड्स ऐप सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए सत्यापित खातों का समर्थन करता है - ऐप्पल ऐप स्टोर पर उपलब्ध स्क्रीनशॉट के अनुसार। यह ईमेल सहित उपयोगकर्ता-पसंदीदा बाहरी स्थान पर चैट बैकअप का भी समर्थन करता है। दूसरी ओर, व्हाट्सएप केवल Google ड्राइव (एंड्रॉइड के लिए) और आईक्लाउड (आईओएस के लिए) पर चैट बैकअप की अनुमति देता है। सरकार ने आत्मानबीर भारत पुश के हिस्से के रूप में मेड इन इंडिया, क्लाउड स्टोरेज सेवा डिजीबॉक्स को भी पेश किया था। यह 256GB मुफ्त डेटा और प्रतिद्वंद्वियों Google ड्राइव और Apple iCloud प्रदान करता है।

The Indian government has rolled out a new instant messaging app, Sandes that is available to use for free on Android and iOS smartphones. The app developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), carries features similar to that of WhatsApp, though it has one added advantage. Unlike WhatsApp, Sandes allows users to login via email ID apart from their phone number. However, login by email ID is currently restricted to government officials, though this may change in future once the app attracts a sizeable userbase. The government has not shared any details about the app yet, but the new messaging platform is likely brought to rival international applications amid push for PM Narendra Modi's Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).

iOS users can download the Sandes app via Apple App Store, while Android users can get the APK file via GIMS portal. For Apple users, the app is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and the iPod touch running on at least iOS/iPadOS 12.0. The official app description notes that the messaging platform allows government officials, friends, and families to connect. "Your chats are secured with end to end encryption. The platform supports audio/video calls and multimedia and file sharing," the description adds. Similar to WhatsApp, other features on Sandes include contact sharing, message styling, message tagging, back-up and restore, phone book synchronisation, group chat, chatbots, broadcast messages, and more. At the bottom of the page, users can access Chats, Contacts, Groups, and Account. Similarly, the Contacts tab shows the designation of the individual, provided if the information is given.

As mentioned, login with email ID is restricted to government IDs only and if you try to sign up with a Gmail, Hotmail, or another email account, the app will show domain are not allowed. Currently, only email IDs ending with '@gov.in' can be used. Additionally, as first pointed out by Gadgets 360, Sandes app does not allow users to change their mobile number or email ID once signed up, and users would need to delete the profile to use the new contact info. WhatsApp, in contrast, has a dedicated Change Number feature to let you easily move from an old phone number to a new one — without deleting your profile. The publication adds that the government is working on a second app, called Samvad which means conversation.

Moreover, the Sandes app supports verified accounts for government employees - as per screenshots available on Apple App Store. It also supports chat backups to a user-preferred external location, including email. On the other hand, WhatsApp only allows chat backup on Google Drive (for Android) and iCloud (for iOS). The government had also introduced Made in India, cloud storage service DigiBoxx as part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat push. It offers 256GB of free data and rivals Google Drive and Apple iCloud.

Startup

A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.

Actions

Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.

Design principles

Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".

Coming out of Retirement

There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. Finally, at the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and said, "This is where your problem is." The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly: One chalk mark $1; Knowing where to put it $49,999. It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
