Ahmedabad CEO’s ‘Zero Salary’ And ‘No Weekends’ Job Post Sparks Viral Debate

August 7, 2024, 2:22 pm

A LinkedIn post by Shubham Mishra, founder and CEO of BatteryOKTechnologies in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, has generated significant buzz online for its unconventional job listing. The post, which sought ‘exceptional humans’ for the startup’s core team, highlighted an array of unusual job conditions, including ‘zero salary’, ‘no weekend offs’, and ‘no vacations’.

Mishra’s post, shared last month, initially puzzled many due to its seemingly harsh terms. The job listing outlined several “perks,” such as no salary and no joining gifts or elaborate office setups, reflecting a frugal approach to business operations. Mishra noted that the company aims to disrupt the energy sector with its AI-driven innovations, emphasizing the importance of long-term commitment and genuine passion for the field.

The post quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions on platforms like Reddit and LinkedIn. Users expressed a range of responses, from confusion over the legality of such a job offer to speculation about whether the listing was a joke. Comments ranged from “I’m confused how this is not illegal” to “I literally demand this be satire.”

In response to the viral reaction, Shubham Mishra clarified that the job posting contained an element of satire. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he explained, “The goal was to filter out non-relevant candidates. We are building a company for the long term and seek individuals who are committed to growing with us.”

Mishra’s intention behind the post was to attract dedicated and passionate individuals willing to invest in the company’s future. Despite the unconventional approach, the startup’s mission to revolutionize the energy industry through innovative AI solutions remains a central focus.

July 12, 2024, 1:49 pm

The Bharuch Police have initiated a suo motu probe into a stampede-like situation that occurred on July 9, when around 1,000 people showed up for walk-in interviews held by a firm for 40 vacancies in Ankleshwar.

Videos showing a massive queue marked by pushing and shoving have gone viral on social media. Aspirants tried to get a toehold on a ramp leading to the entrance of a hotel in Ankleshwar, where the interview was being held. The railing of the ramp later collapsed, led to several aspirants to fall off, though no one was injured.

Tharmax Limited, a private chemical company, had invited aspirants for walk-in interviews for 40 vacancies at Hotel Lords Plaza between 9 am and 4:30 pm, according to the police. The advertisement stated that the company was looking to fill positions for shift in charge, plant operator, supervisor-CDS, fitter-mechanical, and executive-ETP at its new plant in the Jhagadia industrial area.

Bharuch SP Mayur Chavda stated, “The company expected around 150 to 200 applicants, but over 1,000 showed up at the hotel. The company representatives allowed approximately 150 to 200 applicants inside and then closed the main door. As those outside tried to enter, some fell, but nobody was injured in the incident.”

He further stated that no FIR has been filed yet. “However, we have taken suo motu action and started an inquiry, as the video has gone viral on social media. We have started calling the company representatives who were handling the interview process and also hotel staffers. If anything comes up during the inquiry, we will take appropriate steps.”

4 Suspected ISIS Terrorists From Sri Lanka Arrested At Ahmedabad Airport

May 20, 2024, 4:14 pm

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested four suspected ISIS terrorists, all of whom are Sri Lankan nationals, at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad.

The Gujarat ATS has taken the suspects to an undisclosed location for intensive questioning, reported TV9 Gujarati. The precise motive behind their presence at the Ahmedabad airport is not clear.

According to reports, the terrorists traveled from Sri Lanka to Ahmedabad via Chennai. There were claims in the local media that they were in contact with handlers in Pakistan.

The airport has increased security throughout.

Three IPL teams were scheduled to arrive at the Ahmedabad airport for the qualifier and eliminator games, but the arrests were made beforehand.

Two of ISIS’s highest ranking members were detained in March in India close to the border with Bangladesh. The two ISIS cadres that were apprehended were Anurag Singh, also known as Rehan, who lived in Panipat, Haryana, and Harish Ajmal Farooqi, also known as Harish Ajmal Farukhi, who lived in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Both people were characterized as highly driven and brainwashed ISIS commanders in India, engaged in a range of operations such as funding terrorism, recruiting, and organizing terror attacks with the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

“They had furthered the cause of ISIS in India through conspiracies to carry out recruitment, terror funding and terror acts by means of IEDs at several places across India,” claimed a police official.

The STF claims that many cases were filed against these two by the ATS in Lucknow and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in New Delhi.

In October last year, Shahnawaz alias Shafi Uzzama, a suspected ISIS terrorist who was on the most wanted list of the NIA, was arrested by the Delhi Police during a major crackdown by the anti-terror agency. Shahnawaz was wanted in the Pune ISIS module case and the NIA had declared a reward money of ₹3 lakh for credible information leading to his arrest.

SC rejects Atiq Ahmed’s request seeking protection, found guilty in kidnapping case

March 28, 2023, 1:19 pm

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected Atiq Ahmed’s petition for protection and asked him to take his complaint to the concerned High Court. Justices Ajay Rastogi and Bela M. Trivedi’s bench rejected Atiq Ahmed’s petition for protection. After Atiq and his brother were found guilty in the kidnapping case, the court will announce 2:00 PM today.

Atiq Ahmed’s lawyer urged the top court to issue some directions for his protection as there is a threat to his life. The court noted that he has been taken to Uttar Pradesh. But the lawyer said the threat to his life continues. The court observed that state machinery will take care of the issue. Atiq Ahmed’s lawyer reiterated his request and said that unless some protection shall be given till he moves to High Court as he only wants to ensure his client’s safety.

Atiq Ahmed has moved Supreme Court seeking direction to the Centre to protect his life and restrain from taking him from central jail Ahmedabad to Prayagraj or any part of the state of UP.

Atiq Ahmed in his plea sought to restrain from taking him from central jail Ahmedabad to Prayagraj or any part of the state of UP apprehending that he may be killed in any fake encounter.

The petitioner has said that he with his entire family have been roped in as accused persons in Dhoomanganj in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh in the murder case of one Umesh Pal. “Further, the Chief Minister of the State, without any investigation merely based on suspicion, has made a statement on the floor of the State Assembly that the Petitioner will be destroyed and eliminated,” the petitioner said.

In such circumstances, Petitioner Ahmad had said that he is constrained to file the present petition before the Court for the protection of his life as he genuinely apprehends and believes that he may be killed in fake encounters on one pretext or the other by UP police. The petitioner submitted that it is a deep political conspiracy against the petitioner and his family member’s petitioner.

The petitioner sought to direct respondent Govt. of India to ensure the safety and security of the Petitioner and that no physical injury or any other harm is caused to the person of the Petitioner and his family members made accused in the said FIR.
The petitioner had sought to issue appropriate direction restraining the authority from taking the Petitioner from Central Jail, Ahmedabad to Prayagraj or any part of the State of UP and carry out an interrogation of the Petitioner, if any, at Central Jail, Ahmedabad, Gujarat or at any other suitable place at Ahmedabad itself where the Petitioner is presently imprisoned under the protection of Gujarat Police as well as Central forces/ paramilitary forces.

The petitioner has sought to direct the transit of the Petitioner from Ahmedabad to UP under the protection of any central police forces paramilitary force if at all the transit of the Petitioner is necessary to UP.

Ahmad has said that he has no motive to kill Umesh Pal, who was the complainant in a separate case against him because the trial is going to end next month and there was nothing left to be done by Umesh Pal in the trial of that matter.
“It was very well known to the rivals of Petitioner that if anything were to happen to Umesh Pal then Petitioner would certainly be the prime suspect given the pending case against him by Umesh Pal and he will be made an accused. The same has been done,” read the petition.

Youth commits suicide over online gambling debts

September 13, 2022, 3:12 pm

A 21-year-old student at the Vishwakarma Government College in Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, committed suicide on Sunday night in his dorm room, according to the reports.

The youth has been identified as Prabhat Sharma, a resident of Deepmala Apartments in Gujarat’s industrial town of Vapi in the Valsad district. He was enrolled in the second semester of his college’s Bachelor of Engineering programme.

He hanged himself from the ceiling fan in his dorm room as he was in so much debt from his online gambling habit, according to the police.

According to reports, authorities discovered through the inquiry that Sharma was a talented student who received grades above distinction in both his engineering course’s first semester and in classes 10 and 12.

A police officer claimed that the man started losing money quickly after switching from playing online games to online gambling over the course of a year.

The policeman claimed that when he went to his home in Vapi on August 27, the boy told his mother that his internet gambling habit made it difficult for him to concentrate on his studies.

The officer added that Sharma’s suicide note stated that he had taken out loans from numerous people and asked his father to repay the bills if anyone came to them.

“If someone comes and asks for money, please pay them,” Sharma wrote in his suicide note, addressing his father.

He apparently banned many numbers, including his father’s, after returning from Vapi as he descended into depression. According to the officer, his father had to call his classmates to find out where he was.

He spent the entire Sunday in his hostel room. He apparently killed himself in the afternoon as his hostel roommates went out. He was found hanging when they came back in the evening.
