Xiaomi Redmi 5 to Be Available Via Amazon India at Launch

Redmi 5 India launch is expected next week at an event Xiaomi will hold in the country, with the brand has been building hype around the smartphone’s key features. While not much is official known about the device, it has now been confirmed the Redmi 5 will be available via Amazon India; it also mentions what is likely to be the launch time. This comes just a day after Xiaomi teased the Redmi 5 as a compact powerhouse on its social media channels.

Amazon India has set up a new webpage that mentions the Redmi 5 will be exclusive to its platform. However, that is unlikely as Xiaomi now sells its new products on Mi.com website and Mi Home offline stores, along with an online partner (either Amazon or Flipkart). While the page lists the smartphone as ‘Coming Soon’, there is a Notify Me button that allows users to sign up to get updates for the handset.

Moreover, this microsite mentions ‘3pm’, likely meaning the launch event may be scheduled for this time on March 14. Earlier this week, the online-only Mi TV 4A launch event was held at 3pm as well. The Redmi 5 India launch event invites have not been sent to the media yet, so we will have to wait for them to confirm the timing.

Like the Xiaomi teasers, the webpage highlights the upcoming smartphone’s two key strengths, a slim body and fast processor. It says 5 out of 8 people want a slim design, and 5 out of 6 seek a smartphone with fast processor.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 specifications

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 is a dual SIM (Nano) smartphone that Android Nougat out-of-the-box with MIUI 9 on top. The handset comes with a 5.7-inch HD+ (720×1440 pixels) display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 282ppi pixel density. The Redmi 5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor and comes in 2GB/ 3GB/ 4GB RAM variants. It sports 16GB/ 32GB of inbuilt storage.

In terms of optics, the Redmi 5 comes with a 12-megapixel rear camera that has features like f/2.2 aperture, PDAF, and LED flash. On the front is a 5-megapixel selfie camera with a “soft-light” flash module. The front camera also features the company’s proprietary Beautify 3.0 capabilities. Additionally, the smartphone is fuelled by a 3300mAh battery under the hood. In terms of dimensions, the handset measures 151.8×72.8×7.7mm and weighs 157 grams.

In terms of price in India, Redmi 5 could be priced below the higher-specced Redmi Note 5 that had arrived in India at a base price of just Rs. 9,999.

‘Success Doesn’t See Gender’ says entrepreneur Kavita Sugandh

This International Women’s Day meet Kavita Sugandh who has carved out a niche for herself as a successful entrepreneur in the Indian direct selling industry. Here she describes her journey from making Rs 35,000 in her first job to notching up a seven-figure income in US dollars.

Tell us a bit about your background and how it influenced your decision to become an entrepreneur.

I come from Nagpur from a traditional business family. My father encouraged me to start earning on my own from an early age. I always knew I wanted to do something on my own. However, lack of enough capital to get started was holding me back. After eight years of working for leading MNCs, I quit my job and started an HR consultancy business. That was my first venture into entrepreneurship.

So how did you go from there to direct selling? What attracted you to it?

At the consultancy business, I was the CEO, administrator, and the clerk, all rolled into one since I couldn’t afford to hire anyone. Through hard work, I was able to grow the business but my company was centered around me. I could not afford to fall sick or go on vacation since a lot of money was at stake. Also, all the profits seemed to only appear on paper and never in the bank!

Two years after I started the business, a family friend told my husband and me about direct selling. The opportunity was through QNet, a prominent Asian direct selling company from Hong Kong. I went for one of QNet’s international conventions. Here, I attended training programs and interacted with other distributors from around the world. I was inspired by what I learned. Returning home, I closed down my HR business to focus on direct selling instead.

How long did it take you before you achieved some level of success with the new business venture?

For the first 18 months, I didn’t make any money. I faced severe setbacks and rejections. That made me angry but it also fueled my hunger to do better. When I earned my first major commission cheque after 18 months of hard work, the wait was totally worth it!

I have never shied away from hard work, but as an entrepreneur with QNet I have experienced hard work at a whole new level.

Has it been difficult being a woman in this business?

I think men find it far more difficult. Women usually have all the traits needed to succeed in direct selling. We don’t need a special Women’s Day to talk about everything that’s good about being a woman. Success doesn’t see gender. It comes to those who put their blood and sweat into and are deserving of it.

Your advice to the young generation of women who aspire to be entrepreneurs.

In India, even today, in many places, young women or girl children are dissuaded from taking up a career. In my opinion, we celebrate Women’s Day because we don’t consider women as equal to men. I tell the women in my organisation that their success is entirely up to them. They need to believe they can be successful and be willing to put in the work needed for it.

HOW TO SET UP A VPN IN WINDOWS When and how to use the VPN client built into Windows.

VPN (virtual private network) technology lets a computer using a public internet connection join a private network by way of a secure “tunnel” between that machine and the network. This protects the data from being seen or tampered with by bad actors. The two most common use cases are consumer VPN services that allow individuals to surf privately from home or a public setting, and business-oriented solutions that allow employees to securely connect to a corporate network remotely.

For the most part, VPN connections are handled by custom software such as the many consumer VPN services we’ve reviewed, or by third-party generic software such as the OpenVPN client or Cisco AnyConnect.

Another option that’s generally supported by most virtual private networks is to use Microsoft’s built-in VPN client. This is useful when some VPNs don’t provide their own client or if you want to use a VPN protocol not supported by your VPN’s client such as IKEv2.Our new gaming site is live! Gamestar covers games, gaming gadgets and gear. Subscribe to our newsletter and we’ll email our best stuff right to your inbox. Learn more here.

The downside to using the built-in client is that you have to select a specific server to use as opposed to jumping between different locations the way you can with a commercial VPN service. On the other hand, most employer-supplied VPNs will offer a limited number of servers you can connect to, which makes using this client ideal.

Step by step: How to set up a VPN in Windows 10

Step 1 Click on the Cortana search bar or button on the taskbar and type vpn.

Step 2 The top choice should be Change virtual private networks (VPN). Alternatively, open the Settings app and go to Network & Internet > VPN.

The above process works for the easier VPN connection types such as PPTP and L2TP, but if you want to use IKEv2 that requires installing a root certificate from your VPN provider. Keep in mind that not every service supports IKEv2 so using this method depends greatly on your VPN service provider or employer. Regardless, here’s how it works on Windows 10. First, download your VPN provider’s IKEv2 certificate to your desktop or somewhere else that’s convenient. Next, double-click on the certificate file and a security warning pops-up. Click *Open*.

How To Check If Your PAN Has Been Linked With Aadhaar

March 31 is the last date to seed your PAN or Permanent Account Number into your Aadhaar card. The government had in December last year extended till March 31 the deadline for income tax taxpayers to link their PAN card with Aadhaar card. Previously, the deadline for compulsory linking of Aadhaar card with PAN was December 31, 2017. The Central Board of Direct Taxes or CBDT – the apex policy-making body of the Income Tax Department – had cited some taxpayers who hadn’t completed the linking process behind the move. Linking of Aadhaar card with PAN promotes “easier and quicker ITR (income tax return) filing” for the taxpayers, the UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India has said on microblogging site Twitter.

By now, you might have attempted to link your PAN with Aadhaar. But how to check whether your PAN is already seeded into the Aadhaar system?

Here are some ways to check the status of your Aadhaar-PAN linking:

Online through income tax e-filing website – incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

Once on the Income Tax Department’s e-filing website, find a link called ‘Link Aadhaar’ and click on it.

On the given form in the next page, proceed by clicking ‘Link Aadhaar’ after filling in the necessary details, including the PAN number and the Aadhaar number.

For the PANs not registered with the income tax e-filing website, a message on the next page confirms the status of its linking with Aadhaar card. Those individuals who have already registered their PAN with the income tax e-filing website are required to log in.

In such a case, login using your User ID and password.

Select ‘Link Aadhaar’ under the ‘Profile Settings’ section.

In case the PAN-Aadhaar linking is already done, a message confirming the same is displayed on the next page.

Through Income Tax Department’s SMS facility

The Income Tax Department provides an SMS-based facility to link Aadhaar with PAN.

The user is required to send an SMS to 567678 or 56161 in the following format:

UIDPAN<12-digit Aadhaar><10-digit PAN>

For example: UIDPAN 111122223333 AAAPA9999Q

For individuals whose Aadhaar is already linked with PAN, the service responds by confirming the same. “Aadhaar…is already associated with PAN…in ITD Database. Thank you for using our services,” the SMS reads.

Meanwhile, if you have linked your PAN with Aadhaar, you can submit your income tax return online for verification via an Aadhaar OTP (One-Time Password), according to the UIDAI. “You can use Aadhaar based digital signature and complete the process in a few minutes,” explains the UIDAI – the issuer of the 12-digit Unique Identity Number as well as Aadhaar card. For such users, there is no need to send their ITR for verification via mail physically.

From Living in a Chawl to Building a Global Business – Story of Sharfunnisa Shaikh

Sharfunnisa Shaikh grew up in a ‘chawl’ and shared a common toilet with the other residents in the small suburb of Pimpri in Pune. She came from a lower middle class family, was shy and couldn’t speak English properly. Money was always tight and life was not easy for her family. Today she is a successful entrepreneur with a thriving direct selling business, travels the world inspiring others, and is a role model for many women.

“I spent the first 13 years of my life in a chawl.where we all shared common public toilets. My parents’ only dream was to put their children in an English medium school. Fortunately, I did well in studies and went on to get a B.Sc in Mathematics. I then worked for many years in financial services,” says Shaikh.

Shaikh was introduced to direct selling by an old friend while she was working in Mumbai. The friend had recently given up his job and had started building a direct selling business promoting health and wellness products. He explained the direct selling business model used by QNet, and pitched the idea to Shaikh of starting off with him. “I was curious about this business so, I started by buying some wellness products from QNet to try them out,” Sahikh says.

About 9 months later, this friend told Shaikh that he was going for a global convention of the company in Malaysia and he was very excited about it. “That got me thinking. I wondered why someone would want to pay from their own pocket to go attend a convention in a different country unless there was something truly amazing about the company and its business. I couldn’t understand the motivation, says Shaikh. When the friend came back from the convention, this time she sought him out to properly understand the direct selling business model and what she could do to build a similar business. “That was in June 2009 and I haven’t looked back since,” she says.

The beauty of direct selling is that it’s not just about financial empowerment, there is a very important personal development aspect to it. The company provides all its independent representatives with training. “Because of my small town upbringing I had a major inferiority complex. I was shy, was not very fluent in English, fearful of talking to people. All of these traits are a major roadblock when you are trying to run your own business. But the business helped me to develop self-confidence which is an important aspect of success. I became goals driven and motivated to achieve the next level. I wanted to earn respect, equality and dignity and QNet gave me the right platform.” Shaikh reveals, adding, “Today I lead a large team of similarly aspiring young entrepreneurs from different countries.”

Talking about the Model Direct Selling Guidelines, which were announced by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Government of India, last year, Shaikh says the guidelines are a great step in regulating our industry and helping curb fraudulent companies. “I know that QNet has already complied with the guidelines and has also started communicating with all the distributors on the ground about complying with it. A few of us who have big teams have come together and developed seminars and training programs on these guidelines to help the new people joining us understand that there are strict rules and regulations to conducting this business,” she adds.
