...NatuRi Corporation En Febrero de 2006, Aravind Cherukuri y Kartik Natarajan estaban revisando sus opciones para levantar capital para NatuRi Corporation, la compañía que habían fundado en el 2005. Con sus operaciones divididas entre Chennai, India, y Boston, Massachussets, NatuRi había desarrollado un compuesto biológico que mostraba prometedores efectos en el manejo del colesterol. El compuesto, descubierto por la madre de Aravind, la científica biológica Rukmini Cheruvanki, se producía a partir de subproductos de la producción de aceite de salvado de arroz (RBO). Pruebas preliminares en animales han demostrado que el compuesto era efectivo en reducir el colesterol “malo” aumentando al mismo tiempo los niveles de colesterol “bueno”. Si se fabricaba para el uso humano, el compuesto sería una alternativa natural de los medicamentos sintetizados para reducir el colesterol que estaban en el mercado. Aunque NatuRi aún estaba en su etapa inicial, había llamado la atención de al menos cuatro potenciales inversionistas que estaban dispuestos a ofrecer una inversión inicial o semilla. Habiendo recibido ya un términos y condiciones de parte de Waltham Partners, una bien conocida empresa de capital de riesgo de la costa este, Aravind y Kartik ahora estaban forzados a evaluar sus opciones y determinar cual de los cuatro potenciales inversionistas actualmente interesados en su compañía sería el más apropiado para el crecimiento futuro de NatuRi.

...9-807-027 REV: AUGUST 1, 2008 ROBERT F. HIGGINS VIRGINIA A. FULLER NatuRi Corporation In February 2006, Aravind Cherukuri and Kartik Natarajan were reviewing their options for raising capital for NatuRi Corporation, the company they had founded together in 2005. With operations split between Chennai, India, and Boston, Massachusetts, NatuRi had developed a biological compound that showed promising effects in cholesterol management. The compound, discovered by Aravind’s mother, biological scientist Rukmini Cheruvanki, was derived from the byproducts of rice bran oil (RBO) production. Early animal trials had demonstrated that the compound was effective in lowering “bad” cholesterol while simultaneously increasing levels of “good” cholesterol. If manufactured for human ingestion, the compound would provide a natural alternative to synthesized cholesterol-lowering drugs on the market. Although NatuRi was still in the start-up stage, it had captured the attention of at least four potential investors willing to offer a seed investment. Having just received a term sheet from Waltham Partners, a well-known East Coast venture capital firm, Aravind and Kartik were now forced to weigh their options and determine which of the four potential investors currently interested in their venture would be most appropriate for NatuRi’s future growth. Their funding decision for this stage would also impact options for later rounds of funding. The duo had to decide on NatuRi’s ...

...Financiando Emprendimiento Naturi Corporation Profesor: Claudio Dufeu Integrantes: Maria Jose Del Valle. Patricio Arnolds. 1. ¿Cuáles son los aspectos críticos de la industria y del negocio de Rice – Active? Los aspectos críticos de la industria y de Rice - Active, están obviamente relacionados a la viabilidad de Naturi como negocio. Para iniciar cualquier actividad con estas características, donde las barreras de entrada no son del todo altas, es indispensable buscar patentar el proyecto con el fin de evitar la entrada de nueva competencia. Después de esto, se debe trabajar en las pruebas reales, trabajando en ensayos de laboratorio con este medicamento y ver si efectivamente se obtienen los resultados esperados luego de ser testeados en diferentes personas y/o animales. Debido a la gran desconfianza que existe por este tipo de productos, se debe buscar cuanto antes la obtención de resultados certificados y así poder exponer esta oportunidad de negocio con argumentos fundados y comprobados a los posibles inversionistas. Salir a vender el proyecto, también es uno de los grandes desafíos que tiene este negocio, principalmente por el bajo conocimiento social que existe en relación al rubro farmacéutico. Al ser una idea poco convencional y en general poco conocido en el mundo empresarial, podemos estar ante una propuesta difícil de vender y con poco atractivo para los distintos financiadores. Si no llegamos a tener los fondos monetarios necesarios, será imposible...

To begin at the beginning, I must go back to the middle days of October, after the misfortune that occurred. It was growing colder when I left the woods behind the Spence Academy for Young Ladies. I'd received a letter by falcon from the Rakshana. My presence was required immediately in London. I was to keep off the main roads and be certain I was not followed. For several miles, I traveled under cover of the Gypsy caravan. The rest of the way I made on foot, alone, shielded by trees or the broad cape of night. The second night, exhausted by my travels, half dead with cold and hunger—for I had finished my...

Over the past 14 years, the exports of the company had grown from Rs. 0.71 million in 1972-73 to Rs. 59.76 million in 1984. Almost 90 percent of the exports went to the USA. It owned no manufacturing facility of any kind. It purchased cotton cloth from six different textile mills and had the cloth dyed and printed. This fabric was then passed on to 138 stitching subcontractors. The company had been expanding the product line over the years, and by 1983 it was exporting about one million garments in over 100 basic designs. The 100 designs were presented in range of fabric types, shades, designs and sizes. When seen in the context that the company got all these things done through subcontractors, the managerial control of the operations became quite challenging. ...

...Literature review Katha kartik in her article ‘Climate change and migration: a case study from rural Bangladesh’ stated that in costal Bangladesh, environmental threats like cyclone, raises sea level etc are damaging shelter, affecting livelihoods, decreasing the amount of safe water available and creating threat to life. All aspects effort as motivation towards migration, forcing people to go in search of safer environments that can offer them reliable livelihoods, and household security (Black et al. 2008, quoted in Kartik 2011). But here author claimed that displacement may be a short-term managing strategy, it can’t be called ‘adaptation’ to deal with future environmental shocks and stresses. This article establishes link between forced displacement (migration in a short area for a short time) and environmental shocks. The author finally argued that forced displacement should be reduced by taking effective strategies. The article named ‘Climate Refugees in Bangladesh: Understanding the migration process at the local level’ portrayed an overall scenario about climate change related migration. Extreme climate events like floods, cyclones and tidal surges, as well as gradual impacts of climate change like salinity or river erosion, cause climate induced migration (Anwar, 2012). This study attempt to explore diverse reasons of push and pull variables of displacement. Based on opinions from affected people as well as relevant stakeholders, it also catch how this push and...
