What a 10 day Vipassana course taught me about entrepreneurship
(By Sowmya Mahadevan)
An excerpt - 

10 days of total silence — no talking, no reading, no writing, no gestures, no music and of course no electronics. 10 days of living like monks and nuns in spartan settings, eating basic food. 10 days of no entertainment, shopping, or any other material excesses. 10 days of only meditation.

How cloud has transformed the publishing world

We have been in the publishing industry for the past 16 years and have seen heaps of changes occurring in this exciting world. It’s ages ago when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, he could never have predicted how technology and innovation would dramatically transform the publishing industry. From catering to the changing demands of customers to that of accessing content anywhere without having to carry books or magazines. The speed of digitization has truly kept us all wondering ‘What’s next on the line?’

Let’s dig a little deeper and get our heads around how cloud has transformed the publishing world: 

  1. Metadata is all of the information associated with a book or publication that is used to produce, publish, distribute, market and sell the book. It allows external systems to understand the semantics of data elements.
  2. Content storage streamlines the process of sharing any type of content and eliminates clutter related to document versions. It unites various folders, shares content, and silos of network drive within a central repository of files in the cloud.
  3. Findability refers to the publishers’ ability to access the best and most relevant content as quickly as possible. Both Metadata and content storage go hand in hand and allow the ‘findability’ to function correctly. 
  4. Workflow automation and collaboration enable people to work together on a task, for instance, real-time editing of a document. This type of workflow makes way for faster content development.

We are working on creating a real-time feedback feature that will help us measure the author's experience and get a pulse of areas that need improvement. This feature will appear when the author signs-off their document after review. Stay tuned for more updates!
