In the midst of many restaurants already partnering with companies like Swiggy, Foodpanda and Zomato alongside their own delivery boys, it’s questionable whether UberEATS is going to make an impact. The food business for Uber can be profitable in India as they rely on charging service fees and providing restaurant management tools to their partners for revenue. Uber has already turned profitable in some markets, according to the company. UberEATS was started in 2014 as a small delivery pilot in Los Angeles and launched as a separate application in Toronto in December 2015. In the past 18 months, it has grown incredibly fast, and is now a stand-alone app available in 29 countries and in 97 cities around the globe, including India.

The UberEATS app is separate to the Uber app people use to request a ride and has been built specifically to make food delivery as seamless as possible.

The 394-hectare estate produces over 500 tonnes of coffee every year. 
 
To put things into perspective, the first official ‘Indian coffee’ to be available through the brand: Starbucks was introduced in 2013, to celebrate the Tata-Starbucks first anniversary in the market. 
 
Starbucks had created a special India-sourced coffee, called ‘India Estates Blend’, as a tribute but it was sourced, roasted, packaged, and sold only in India. 
 But that was sourced from multiple coffee lots, unlike <keyword id="3694540" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="nullore">Nullore</keyword> Estate coffee which was is a 'Microlot coffee'.

What makes ‘Block 19’special? 
 
For starters, this Arabica coffee is grown under a unique two-tier shade system under local and fruit bearing trees. 
 
The shade is carefully controlled, which helps the coffee bean mature slowly, allowing it to absorb its environment which gives it the special smell and taste. 
 
 
 
The Taste 
 
The coffee is intensely fragrant and aromatic, with notes of red apple, caramel, citrus, toasted nuts, and milk chocolate. 
This taste and smell is attributed to the flora and fauna that surrounds this 8-hectares estate. 
 
Trees like Ficus, Jackfruit, and Silver Oak surround the coffee plants giving the earthiness to the coffee. 
Block 19 is home to a colony of ‘fruit bats’ and migratory birds which are the main reason behind the coffee’s fruity persona.

Sunalini Menon, Asia’s first woman coffee expert has been credited for the experiential of deconstructing the Nullore Microlot. She closely worked on this micro lot that has put Indian coffee on the global map. 
 
She says that this coffee has opened up opportunities for the quality coffee that India produces now, ‘To nurture every particular bean to reach the best quality, the processing takes up the entire year. From the soil, to the climate to even pesticides, can affect the coffee bean and we took extra care to send out 2 tonnes of the Nullore estate coffee of which each bean was tested for quality before being shipped out to the US," she proudly exclaims.

If you’re a car connoisseur, you’re bound to be obsessed with <keyword id="6411897" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vintage">vintage</keyword> cars as they not just make up a proud purchase but also carry a little bit of the old-school charm with them. 
 
The word “Vintage’’ denotes to something of great value from the past, something that best represents its kind, and motor-heads are very well aware of the exciting piece of history they own in the form of a vintage car. 
 
A real vintage car is not a run-of-the-mill purchase; it is treasured machine that embodies a lifestyle that calls for regular investments for its upkeep. Therefore, just like any other beloved piece of antique, your vintage car also needs to be preserved, not only with its beauty but also with its functionality.

Keep it garbed and sheltered: To begin with, direct sunlight causes excessive heat and can impact negatively on various aspects of the vehicle. Likewise, when not garbed properly, the wind can blow foreign object into the car that could not only contaminate the car from inside but also leave scratch marks and dents. Prolonged exposure to water evokes development of rust. This rust has the capacity to eat your car away, which could lead to hunting for various scarce spare parts for your car. 
 
Get it professionally checked on a regular basis: Owning a vintage car and its maintenance could be a hobby in itself. While performing regular chores for its upkeep by you is a good practice, getting it checked by professional mechanics at regular intervals is even better. It is easy to overlook simple repairs and adjustments, which could later result in more critical problems. 
 
Pump the Breaks: Pulling up to a red light with a beautiful car and loud engine will get people asking questions and swooning but once the breaks squeal, it may receive more laughs. That's why it's important to maintain the breaks and pump them whenever possible to keep them as smooth as possible.

Deep cleaning for good maintenance: Cleaning your priced possession from every nook and cranny at regular intervals, keeps damages caused by dirt buildup at bay. Damages such as rusted parts, chipping paint and poor performance could dim the shine of the antiquity. However, while cleaning please ensure to rinse and dry the car to remove any residual soap. You might also want to consider adding a coat of wax for protection and to keep it classy. 
 
Protect the Interior: When riding around town, showing off the interior to friends, and passengers is just as important. That's why protecting the leather and vinyl from sun damage and stains becomes vital with Simple leather creams, vinyl cleaners, and UV blockers.

Take it out for a drive often: While a lot of vintage car owners might be inclined towards safeguarding and protecting their cars, keeping it completely locked up in the garage does no good to your car. Apart from the thrill of showing your car off on the roads, taking it out on a drive keeps it up and running. Not driving a car for prolonged period of time increases the risks of corrosion and rust and prevents it from staying in a running condition. Additionally, driving it around in your neighborhood also keeps you in the know of potential problems the car might be faced with.

Here’s how you should be taking care of your vintage car

Senior managers, working at startups like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Flipkart%2C+Snapdeal+and+Amazon">Flipkart, Snapdeal</a> and Ola, are no more interested in these top consumer Internet companies in India. They are heading for the exit door, with many citing a mixture of low job satisfaction and poor work-life balance. 
 
This change is seen at a time when <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Indian+startups">Indian startups</a>, boosted by soaring valuations, are on an aggressive spree to hire new talents. So are these mangers hungry to start their own companies? Lets’ read and know! 
 <keyword id="3019928" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Swaminathan-Seetharaman">Swaminathan Seetharaman</keyword>, who earlier worked as the vice-president for engineering at taxi app firm <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Ola+">Ola</a> and quit after about a year at the company, said: "There are multiple levels of decision-making as an organisation grows and individual contributions to make impact get diluted."

Termed unicorns — or companies valued upwards of a billion dollars — Flipkart, Snapdeal and Ola have all witnessed exits of senior managers in recent months.

Let’s know the reasons behind leaving the billion dollars companies. 
 
Seniors being relegated: Experts tasked with finding fresh talent for these high-growth startups say several exits stem from seniors being relegated when hierarchies alter. "Shrinking interactions with the founders coupled with decreased influence on impactful decisions are two most frequently cited reasons for individuals to move out of startups," Harish Kumar, founder of headhunting firm Wenger &amp; Watson, told ET. 
 
Volatile work environment, long working hours, and high levels of stress are also wearing out several senior executives at startups. "The culture of having beds for technology teams in offices can backfire and hurt emotional health," said a senior technology executive who quit a Delhi-based startup. 
 
Bid to lock in talent: Dissatisfaction with compensation is also leading to exits in several cases. Startups typically offer employee stock options aimed at locking in talent from a year to four years. Often, employees can cash in about a quarter of their holding after a year. "After that, shares can be redeemed on a pro rata basis every month or quarter, depending on the contract," said Seetharaman. 
 
However, this is only at an ideal startup. At several others, founders allow only a tenth of promised stock to be sold at the end of a year, with vesting periods rising incrementally to 40% at the end of four years. "There can be additional harsh lock-ins, which make the packages unfair," said the Delhi-based founder of an executive search firm who works with companies such as Flipkart, Zomato and Snapdeal. 
 
Senior employees are realising that they too have a chance of making big returns from India's unprecedented startup boom where the top Internet companies have between themselves soaked up some $6 bn of funding so far.
