Two <keyword id="6359674" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IIT-Roorkee">IIT Roorkee</keyword> batchmates have returned to the campus five years after graduating from the college to start a café called Sattiviko Idea Café. You may call it their way of paying back to the college which it is, but more importantly, the duo wants GenNext to get inspired and feel encouraged to start their own businesses. It is for this reason <keyword id="2741713" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prasoon-Gupta">Prasoon Gupta</keyword> and <keyword id="633617" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ankush-Sharma">Ankush Sharma</keyword>’s venture is not simply a restaurant, but an innovation/incubation center of sorts. It's a place for students to interact and exchange ideas with former graduates/seniors/mentors while sitting across the food tables savouring some delicious food in between their classes. 
	 
	This idea cafes will see mentoring sessions by a group of over 300 entrepreneurs and professionals like InMobi co-founder Mohit Saxena, Commonfloor founder Sumit Jain, and Raman Roy, chairman of Quattro BPO Solutions among others.

	 
	For their noble deed, the duo has got 2,200 sq/ft space inside the campus, and that too at a very cheap rent. 

	 
	Their vedic journey started back in February 2014 when Prasoon had quit his five year old venture Tech-buddy, a consultancy firm, and opened an NGO called Swarajneeti with the sole purpose of educating the modern generation for transparency in democratic India via innovative technological tools. 
	 Post elections, however, he decided to devote all his time to his new venture <keyword id="2241713" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sattviko">Sattviko</keyword>, along with his batchmate Ankush Sharma. 
	The start-up was inspired by the sattvik way of life that emphasized purity and served cuisine from India. But soon after some time, they adopted cuisines from across the world, such as Mexican, Italian and American that conform to certain rules - no onions or garlic! 

	 
	Sattviko started as a quick-service restaurant and then evolved over the years to become an e-marketplace, delivering an exceptional experience to customers who look to adopt yoga and its practices.

	 It currently has two outlets in Delhi and one in Gurgaon which cater to approximately 500 people. Sattviko raised Rs 2 crore as seed funding last year, in a round led by online real estate portal CommonFloor co-founder Sumit Jain, Xerox India Non-Executive Director <keyword id="116474" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rajat-Jain">Rajat Jain</keyword>, and <keyword id="10591" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Samsung">Samsung</keyword> executive <keyword id="358198" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sanjay-Bhasin">Sanjay Bhasin</keyword>. 
	Both the young founders have big dreams for Sattviko. They want to take their baby to become a 100-crore plus company in the next few years. They also have plans to launch 10 Idea cafes across IITs in the country this year. For now, Sattiviko Idea Café is a rage in the campus and all we can say is - What an idea, sirji!

Meet the two IITians who have started 'idea cafe' at IIT Roorkee, and plan to hit 10 more IITs with their stellar idea this year

New Delhi, Apr 15 () The real estate industry on Wednesday said the government's decision to allow construction on those projects where labourers are already available on sites will solve the problem of migrant daily wage workers but said availability of raw materials may be an issue. NAREDCO President Niranjan Hiranandani said, "The government has issued an order which allows staggered reopening on the stalled construction work to partially resume from 20 April 2020, subject to terms and conditions. The real estate industry acknowledges the positive impact this will have in handling the migrant crisis." The relaxation has come at the right time as the situation was very grim to keep construction workers at the site afloat, he said. Credai National Chairman Jaxay Shah said the directives issued by the Ministry of Home affairs will boost the country's economic growth in a slow but steady manner. "We, however, await the directives by the state government," he said. The realty sector remains the second largest employer after agriculture and halt in construction activities will have a long-term impact on the realty sector, Shah noted. "We therefore urge the government to allow construction activity and supply chain in a staggered manner. We are already taking care of the workers and construction can begin amidst the present conditions. We are also ready to start construction at those sites where labourers are already present with subject to the supply chain," Shah said. Anuj Puri, Chairman - ANAROCK Property Consultants said: "Offering some relief to the construction sector, the government has permitted activity to resume in non-Covid-19 hotspots, provided they follow strict social distancing guidelines. However, the guideline clearly mentions that no construction worker will be brought from outside and only those currently available on the site will be able to resume work." The move to start at least some of the construction activity on project sites, even with limited workforce, is certainly welcome, Puri said. "That said, since many migrant workers had left for their villages post lockdown 1.0 announcement, we will have to wait and see how many are actually left back to resume work. Migrant workers comprise at least 80 per cent share of the total 44 million workforce in the construction sector currently," he said. CREDAI-NCR President Pankaj Bajaj said, "We are awaiting clarity. It seems that Noida construction may be allowed outside the hotspots, But practically it seems impossible. Labour has to stay in-house. Most projects are at the finishing stage. At such stage, labour does not stay in-house." "The other problem is supply of raw material. Large restrictions are still in force for the production of those goods. Nearly 200 different items go in the construction," Bajaj said. Supertech Chairman R K Arora spoke about the challenges for starting construction work. "We require different types of labour in consultation i.e. labour, mason, carpenter, plumbers and bar binders, etc and all are not available at site. Work without construction materials will not be possible since industry related to construction are not allowed till May 3," Arora said. "By allowing in-situ projects, to commence construction work is a step in the right direction. Upon successful experience, construction activities should be allowed across all projects," said Ashish Bhutani MD and CEO Bhutani Infra. The decision to resume construction activities will help in job creation, said Ankush Kaul, President (Sales &amp; Marketing)- Ambience group said. Vikas Bhasin, CMD, Saya Homes, said: "Permitting construction activities although with conditions is the right approach and we wholeheartedly welcome it. But the implementation will be subject to guidelines issued by respective states, we will have to wait and watch for clarity to emerge." Rajat Goel, JMD, MRG World, said, "Allowing in-situ projects, falling within the boundaries of Municipal Corporation to commence construction, while following social distancing norms is a step in the right direction. This will immensely help the daily wage labourers." MJH MKJ

This will immensely help the daily wage labourers." Sriram Mahadevan, MD, Joyville Shapoorji Housing, said, "We welcome the move by the Government of India towards gradual lifting of the lockdown in a calibrated manner and in turn help resumption of construction activity in non-Covid hotspots with effect from April 20, 2020." Post a complete shut down, this step would help lift the sentiments of all the labour force who have been staying at their respective sites since the lock down was announced, he added. In order to ensure lost momentum is regained as soon as possible, inflow of raw materials is also very critical, Mahadevan said. Shriram Properties CMD M Murali said: "We welcome this move by the government to allow limited construction activities in Rural and Municipal areas. This will help to solve the problems faced by the migrant blue collar workforce to a certain extent. We expect the government to ease the restrictions for Urban areas as well, in the coming days."
