Snehwan has 17 kids in the age group of 9 -14 years. Most of these kids have never been to school before; even if they have it is only so they could get a midday meal for free. Ashok has worked hard to teach them everything from scratch. And now the kids can read newspapers, use PCs, write letters, etc.

Olympics silver medalist PV Sindhu lands Rs 50 cr endorsement deals; richer than Saina and Sania?

Badminton player PV Sindhu, who won silver medal at the Rio Olympics, has bagged a Rs 50 crore endorsement deal for three years from various companies, according to a report in The Times of India.

The report said the deals have been signed with Baseline Ventures, a sports marketing, entertainment and a brand licensing firm that is now managing Sindhu's brand profiling and licensing.

The company's managing director Tuhin Mishra has told the newspaper that the deal Sindhu got will be the best one a non-cricketer sports person can get.


PV Sindhu. AFP PV Sindhu. AFP "Even after achieving stupendous success, her humility and the value she brings to women power is remarkable," Mishra has been quoted as saying in the report.

As many as 16 companies had queued up to get Sindhu for their endrosements and finally the company has zeroed in on nine.

What is remarkable about the deal is that she has decided not to endorse brands with a 'negative' influence like cola brands, says the report.

Moreover, despite the valuable deals she is landing, Sindhu has also decided these will not affect her practice and will allocate only limited time for commercials.

Sindhu's endorsement deal win should not come as a surprise for she has shown great grit and strength of character through out her performance at the Olympics.

“She has won an Olympics medal and has shown tremendous grit while getting it,” Harish Bijoor, Chief Executive Officer of brand and business strategy firm Harish Bijoor Consults Inc, had told Firstpost earlier. According to Bijoor, she has what it takes to be a 'great' brand icon.

However, it has to be remembered that earlier Olympic medal winners such as Abhinav Bindra or Rajyavardhan Rathore met with little success when it came to bagging big-bang endorsement deals. Sindhu's deal win has to be seen in this context.

Two non-cricketer sports women, who have managed to get a good amount of endorsement deals, are badminton star Saina Nehwal, bronze medalist in 2012 Olympics, and tennis star Sania Mirza. As per the 2015 Forbes Celeb list, Saina's earnings from endorsements and BWF World Superseries stood at Rs 16.99 crore, while Sania, meanwhile, earned Rs 13.25 crore.

According to the magazine, Saina had inked a Rs 25 crore deal with IOS Sports & Entertainment for two years. It termed Sania as "India's most successful professional woman tennis player". Saina was ranked 39 and Sania 38 in the list.

If the ToI report is to be believed, Sindhu's earnings this year are likely to easily surpass that of both these sports persons, considering she has also received rewards worth about Rs 13 crore (as of 22 August) from various governments and well-wishers.

Indeed a new brand icon is in the making.

About wars: The following I saw today in an alternative forum about politics and it is absolutely shameful what is done and how it is done. Many different nations are hypocritical and talk only: Yes as bad the war is in the Middle East and how the people must suffer from it. But money is earned without end in this war and everybody wants a piece from the cake, regardless what they talk in front of the media.

See by your self: Making a Killing: The 1.2 Billion Euro Arms Pipeline to Middle East

Robert Stephen Ford, US ambassador to Syria between 2011 and 2014, told BIRN and the OCCRP that the trade is coordinated by the US Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, Turkey and Gulf states through centres in Jordan and Turkey, although in practice weapon supplies often bypass this process.

Here a must read for all who think penny stocks are an easy game with easy money. The whole story has so far six parts and happens in the US. Nevertheless in one or the other way it even can happen to Indians.

Part 1: THE MONEY IS GONE

CHRIS DIIORIO HAD just lost a million dollars.

This was back in 2006. DiIorio, who was 39 at the time, had recently moved with his new wife from Boston to Castle Pines, Colorado, a leafy suburb of Denver, and was toiling in finance as a market researcher, analyzing the financial statements of public companies and giving recommendations to portfolio managers.

He had previously worked on Wall Street as an institutional equity trader and research analyst for a subsidiary of the now-defunct investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin, and Jenrette. He had 13 years experience executing massive trades for large mutual fund clients like Fidelity and Putnam.

Arms trade has been a very intense issue, controversies run upto JFK's assassination. Fear mongering runs many businesses.
