Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 1: People’s interest in crypto has skyrocketed in the past few years. It’s a hot topic not only among the investors but in popular culture too. However, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, one of the biggest challenges for investors is not getting proper guidance, particularly for the investors who are new to digital currencies. As crypto is an emerging concept, a large chunk of people is still not equipped with proper crypto literacy. Therefore, it’s essential that they develop a sense of how the digital-currency world works before start venturing out into the world of crypto. To promote safe crypto investment among newbie investors, the entrepreneur trio of Meet Godhani, Pratik Bodra, and Parth Parsana is all set to launch a cryptocurrency.

Meet Godhani, Pratik Bodra, and Parth Parsana these young entrepreneurs have over six years of experience in the field of cryptocurrency and are working to launch a cryptocurrency based on Web 3.0 which will have Metaverse, DeFi, and NFTs as its utility.

Meet Godhani says “Metaverse and NFTs are going to be the next mainstream in the world. Metaverse is the virtual world where you can explore anything just like how you do it in the real world. People can interact and explore places like never before. The one place for learning and earning that no one can control, and that is the power of Blockchain.’’

Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another. They’re also equal in value—one dollar is always worth another dollar; one Bitcoin is always equal to another Bitcoin. Crypto’s fungibility makes it a trusted means of conducting transactions on the blockchain.

On the other hand, NFT stands for non-fungible token. It’s generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that’s where the similarity ends. We are in the early days of the NFT world. For many, the jury is still out on NFTs and the impact that they will — or won’t — have on society.

Parth Parsana says “NFTs are risky because their future is uncertain, and we don’t yet have a lot of history to judge their performance. But keep in mind, an NFT’s value is based entirely on what someone else is willing to pay for it. Therefore, demand will drive the price rather than fundamental, technical or economic indicators, which typically influence stock prices and at least generally form the basis for investor demand.”

“Cryptocurrencies are volatile and unpredictable. It is very important for an investor to not get caught up in the hype. If you’ve decided to invest in the cryptocurrency market, as with any other investment, it is important to do your research. We here will also guide you through things you should know before you invest and always remember Timing is the Key’’ says Pratik Bodra.`

As cryptocurrencies are getting closer to mainstream asset classes, both seasoned and beginner investors require proper support and guidance to minimize financial risks in the volatile of crypto. In this scenario, the entrepreneur trio is looking forward to easing out the crypto journey for investors with their newest initiative.

March 1: A positive outlook and resilience – these are the two qualities that define the hospitality sector. In the face of the multiple waves of the pandemic, the restaurant and hotel businesses have held their ground. Despite all the ups and downs, the hospitality sector remained a close-knit community, working towards thriving, come what may. And now the industry is all set to revive again, says international restaurateur Sanjeev Nanda.

Nanda, who runs popular restaurants in Dubai like Miss Tess and Billionaire Mansion, is quite optimistic about the pace at which the restaurant businesses across the globe are overcoming the disruption in operations caused by the pandemic. And his belief is backed by strong evidence that emerges from various industry reports that point out that the global hospitality industry is up for an easier time in the coming months as business continues to grow.

Of survival and revival

Irrespective of the general sentiment that the hospitality sector has received a huge blow amid the worldwide scare of Omicron, industry leaders report a slight dip of 10 to 15 per cent in the overall revenues of hospitality businesses as compared to the time when the first Covid wave struck. According to Sanjeev Nanda, a major factor at play behind this has been the increased levels of preparedness that businesses have shown ever since the disease first emerged.

“The first wave brought us face to face with the fact that we all need to stay prepared for the unseen challenges. Yes, it was a challenging time for the industry, but it was also a time full of new learning. It taught us to move past the profits once and operate on survival mode. It taught us to never lose patience in the event of a crisis and wait for it to pass so that the business can thrive once again,” says the Miss Tess owner.

The changing face of hospitality

The Covid crisis forced every single person to expand their horizons and cooperate with the others to make this world a safer and healthier place for everyone. It is only due to the sheer diligence on part of healthcare workers and pharma companies that the world now has a wide array of preventive measures like vaccines in place, which is a huge propellant for businesses irrespective of the sector.

Hospitality is also reaping the benefits of vaccination drives and awareness programs run by the governments across the globe. According to Sanjeev Nanda, continuous efforts and mutual cooperation among various industries has not only helped the world sail through the third wave of infection, but it has also helped hospitality businesses come up with unique solutions. The involvement of tech-based operational techniques is putting restaurant businesses in a stronger state than ever, which is the reason why the hospitality sector is thriving despite facing a difficult time.
