A recap of successes, connections, and triumphs from the latest cohort.

It was really great to get up to Glasgow to the University of Strathclyde recently on this purely personal and private endeavour on MoonXcribe. Great interview as always from Dr Sharon Lèmac-Vincere with my co-founder Antony Day C.Eng M.Sc B.Sc MIET. I think there was about 3 or 4 hours of it! A really tough grilling about this endeavour and about who we are. Really looking forward to working with Sharon and the students on innovation, entrepreneurship, and business in what might be described as a new 'market'. The Lunar Economy. The thing for us at MoonXcribe is that it isn't so much about 'market', rather that's simply something we need to address to be be successful. And success for us is really about: 1. Preserving human culture in the form of small lunar dust imprinted tasteful messages of love, life and remembrance. Just like the last astronaut on the Moon did. Eugene Cernan, writing his daughter's initials into the dust. A message of love preserved for over a million years. 2. STEM, STEM and STEM. We need more folks in these subjects in so many sectors but especially Space. 3. Sustainability. At first this may all seem like a contradiction but revolutions in solar, battery, thermal management, and Autonomy all have enormous spin back value back here on Earth. Thanks also to all our advisors who are literally World Class people. Probably the best advisory board I've seen for a Space start-up. Or any start-up for that matter. Check out our About Us page. www.moonxcribe.com Thanks again Sharon and hoping we can help the students with our left field thinking in both the vision and our innovative business model. We will learn a lot in the process. MoonXcribe (TM).

On July 31 2023, I officially submitted my resignation and ended my year and half long journey at SAP. It was a rather impulsive decision as I felt I had been running on with horse blinders ever since I graduated and unknowingly, joined the race to keep my visa status valid over all else, which was never a personal priority. Leaving SAP, I had no concrete plan, just a desire to be closer to home and a loosely lined-up job in Asia. The uncertainty was especially daunting as an international student in the US working on OPT. Everyone around me, friends & family, insisted I have a second job lined up in the States so that the risk of deportation is managed. To reset my brain from the fog, I decided to travel. After about a month of adventures, just as I was feeling my brain had some fresh juice, and ironically, just as I could somewhat see a path I wanted to tread on, I shattered my ACL & Meniscus in a rather stupid (& funny as I can look back at it today) accident while attempting to “scale” a playground slide (yes, you can chuckle). After receiving less-than-adequate or any-at-all care from the U.S. medical services (shoutout to the docs at Tufts Medical), I decided to fly back to India for the surgery. The procedure itself was successful, thanks to a team of brilliant doctors, but my mental health was an all-time low after a major reconstruction surgery that left me on bedrest for 6 weeks and had a 12-month long road to recovery. After constant (& ongoing) physical and mental therapy, and immense support from my friends, family, and mentors, I am extremely proud and elated to introduce to you all my newest project, Taabur Ventures LLP. Taabur is holding company that aims to foster an environment where innovation thrives, and extraordinary consumer experiences are born. The company will build its foundations on lateral thinking infused with the nonchalance and innocence of a child. We are currently spearheading two groundbreaking projects: one in the Technical Textile Industry, and one in the Agro-commodity sector. The ethos of the company will be to create excellence by doing and failing and thus, at Taabur, we truly believe that failure is a stepping stone to success, while complacency is the only true setback. I cannot wait to share all that we have in store, and hope you stay along for the ride, it’s going to be a long but fun one!
