Shark Tank India is currently the top trending topic on conversation and has become a fodder for memes as well. The judges, albeit well-established in their respective careers and industries, are also enjoying their new-found fame, which is also good for their brands. But the show has its fair share of critics who highlight how judges insult aspiring entrepreneurs and sceptics who doubt the show’s legitimacy. In fact, one of my closest friends refuses to watch the show because she is certain that she is scripted and is just a fancy version of daily soaps. Judge Anupam Mittal, CEO and Founder of People Group and Founder of shaadi.com, has taken to LinkedIn to bust such myths about Shark Tank India. Anupam Mittal Busts Shark Tank Myths The Show Is Scripted Anupam writes how surprised he was to know that the first time that he and other judges would hear an entrepreneur’s pitch is when they walk through the door. “The emotions are real, the drama is real, and the funding is real,” he pens. In an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, he mentioned that show is unscripted. Watch the Interview here This concern has been addressed by other sharks as…

Credit: Tom Jenkins A BA New Media graduate from The University of Wales Trinity Saint David has secured his dream job working for Virgin Media, after using his LinkedIn Learning account to help him apply for the job and to get noticed. Tom Jenkins from South Wales graduated from UWTSD in 2017. Tom is now a video editor and animator with Virgin Media, working alongside Holly Branson on various projects.

I saw that LinkedIn had started offering tests to be able to show…

Last week, hundreds of women in the Netherlands changed their name to Peter on LinkedIn in order to raise awareness about the lack of diversity in Dutch companies.Recent studies discovered that there are more men named Peter in chief executive positions than there are women chief execs. Two studies, one conducted by the AD and research agency Equilap and another carried out by interest group Women Inc, found that, out of 93 surveyed companies in the Netherlands, there were five company directors named Peter. Meanwhile, there were only four women taking on the same job. To make their point, upwards of 500 women have changed their name to Peter on LinkedIn as part of the #MijnNaamIsPeter campaign, including high-profile figures in the media and marketing industries, such as Yeliz Çiçek, editor-in-chief at Vogue Nederland.Women Inc, the organization behind the stunt, explains that “‘Peter’ represents a greater lack of diversity in the workplace, not only in terms of gender, but also in terms of background and age. And that lack is not only at the top or only in large companies.”The campaign was launched as a new Dutch law came into effect that will now see mandates on large companies to…

Might you be able to play a virtual game of catch with your favorite QB? Could developers create their own virtual fantasy leagues that run year round? Could you own an exclusive NFT from the historic NFL Films archives?These are just some of the possibilities that can be envisioned in the virtual future for the NFL as it begins to explore the possibilities of the metaverse, crypto, cloud-based gaming, and NFTs.Last week the NFL posted a job…

LinkedIn redefines ‘professional’LinkedIn has released a new campaign #IAmProfessional with the aim to redefine what the word professional means.As a part of the campaign, an ad was released featuring writer and public speaker Jezz Chung, designer and entrepreneur Jason Mayden, bestselling author and entrepreneur Fawn Weaver, financial professional Alexis K Fernandez, investor and advisor Mick Batyske, clinical operations manager Mekdes Kissi, and content and brand manager Ellie Middleton defining what professional means according to them. With the help of the campaign LinkedIn wants to send the message that people need to do what works for them.Sharing about the campaign on LinkedIn, Middleton said, “When I joined LinkedIn, I was worried about sharing too much. Worried it would come off “unprofessional”, or that no-one would care. But then I realised, I wasn’t sharing my true self. I posted about this outdated idea of professional a few months ago. And it went viral. Like, life-changing viral. Turns out, a lot of people agreed. And the fact is, I am professional. We’re professional just the way we are.”Mayden shared, “Professional is ever-changing. It’s ever-in-motion. It does not have a shape. It does not have limits.

Photo: 20th Century Studios February is the shortest month of the year. Perhaps that’s what Disney+ is paying homage to with its very brief list of new releases for February 2022. There’s not much to write home about on Disney+ this month. Feb. 9 will see the arrival of The Book of Boba Fett finale so start getting your theory-makin’ brain ready for that. The only other original series of note is The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, a continuation of the early 2000s Disney Channel animated show. The biggest arrival to Disney+ this month might actually be a library title. The Ryan Reynolds starring action flick Free Guy makes its streaming debut on Feb. 23. When Disney first launched its streaming service, having a home for these 20th Century Studios blockbusters was probably a big selling point. Now this franchisable title will have a forever home alongside Star Wars and Marvel. Here is everything else you can find on Disney+ this month. Wednesday, February 2 New Library Titles– The Chicken Squad (S1, 4 episodes)– The New Air Force One: Flying Fortress Disney+ Originals– The Book of Boba Fett – Chapter 6 Friday, February 4 New Library Titles– Never Been Kissed– Torn–…

Washington: Some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 may be able to transmit the virus for longer than the recommended quarantine period, without necessarily manifesting any symptoms during the final stage of the infection, a study suggests. The research, published recently in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, involved 38 Brazilian patients who were followed on a weekly basis between April and November 2020. The researchers affiliated with the Pasteur-USP Scientific Platform, a partnership between France's Pasteur Institute, the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in Brazil, followed the patients until they tested negative twice or three times consecutively by RT-qPCR. They found that it took a month on average for the diagnostic test to become negative. "Of the 38 cases we tracked, two men and a woman were atypical in the sense that the virus was continuously detected in their organism for more than 70 days," said Marielton dos Passos Cunha, first author of the research. "Based on this result, we can say that about 8 per cent of people infected by SARS-CoV-2 may be able to transmit the virus for more than two months, without necessarily manifesting any symptoms during the final stage of the infection," Passos…
