Back to the Future

The Dimensionless Boundaries

By: Sahil Sood

Back to the future takes us back and forth to a wholly magical and technologically advanced world where individuals are capable of attaining the power of seeing the future through the re¬flection of their minds. Millenniums and centuries ago there lived a group of people who mastered the art of predicting the future and started using it for the goodwill of the society. The era blossomed where people lived harmoniously in a techno culturally advanced society. Over the years, this practice grew enormously and a time came when it was being used as a powerful weapon for its own benefits. To avoid the devastation that this advancement could havoc and also to ensure that it does not go to the wrong hands, the great sage created a different world for these positive and super eminent people to continue the practice in a different land where it was impossible to reach humans. Therefore, such a land gets created that is not only rich in culture but technologically hundreds of centuries advanced than the existing world. The vow of the sage however brings the future generation king of Manasvin to the current world and there gets born the seed of transition between the two worlds. What will happen when the two worlds (One techno culturally advanced and other with self-centered interests) meet? How do people embark on the technology that is centuries ahead of their time? The book explains the need of advancement of innovation through the mindset of self-indulgent people whose egoism is larger than the real dimensions of the world.

Emergence of Commercial Justice: Insolvency & Arbitration, First Edition

By: Vivek Sood

About the Book If the 1991 reforms globalized the Indian economy and brought vibrancy to the corporate sector, the year 2015-2016 can be said to have ushered the concept of 'commercial justice' that never existed in India. Prior to this, the legal system was classified between civil and criminal justice only without any concept of commercial justice which has emerged through two significant legislations- The Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and The Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015. These legislations are path-breaking and have far reaching implications for the Indian economy and the business world. The Supreme Court in a short span of five years has interpreted these legislations in certain important judgements, giving certainty in the scope and application of these laws. These significant judgements of the Apex Court have been analyzed in this book. In the regime prior to the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016, the debtors laughed and the creditors cried, in other words, it was a debtors' paradise and creditors' hell. The 2016 legislation brings a paradigm shift in favour of creditors and the Apex Court has reinforced the letter and spirit of the law by its judgements as also the democracy in insolvency resolution through the Committee of Creditors (CoC). The nuances of the law have been analyzed in the book through case-law. The Apex Court has interpreted the Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 to bring the arbitration law in sync with the global arbitration landscape. The principles of fairness in arbitration as also the minimal interference with arbitral awards have been emphasized by the Supreme Court. Vexed questions that took decades to be decided have been settled in record time so as to give clarity to the business world. The book simplifies and demystifies legal complexities through Supreme Court judgements, for the benefit of readers including Law students, young Corporate Lawyers, In-house Corporate Counsel, Company Secretaries and Chartered Accountants.

FOUR CORNERS OF THE CIRCLE

By: MOHIT JAIN with AMITA SOOD

Ever heard about the four corners of the circle? Since childhood, it has been taught in schools that the circle has no corners. Life is a never-ending marathon. It keeps on revolving in circles, and everyone is in search of a final destination, a corner, that they never reach. This book is a small initiative to throw light on different aspects of the education system and how could we join hands to make it more productive. It guides the aspiring students to follow a right approach, take correct decisions, and overcome distractions in their career. It advocates that the educational institutions should focus on enlightening the lives of the students by providing quality education, quality learning ambience, practical grounds to implement class room theories, and by helping students convert their black cat into a white one. The book is neither biased toward students nor educational institutes; the sole purpose is to provide their individual perspectives and reach to a common conclusion. The book contains five theories, which Mr. Mohit Jain has discovered in his sixteen years of teaching experience and which would help the youngsters reach closer and closer to their goals. This book is about us.

Global environmental flow information for the sustainable development goals

By: Sood, Aditya,Smakhtin, Vladimir,Eriyagama, Nishadi ,Villholth, Karen G.,Liyanage, Nirosha,Wada, Y.,Ebrahim, Girma,Dickens, Chris

Environmental flows (EF) are an important component of Goal 6 (the ‘water goal’) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, many countries still do not have well-defined criteria on how to define EF. In this study, we bring together the International Water Management Institute’s (IWMI’s) expertise and previous research in this area to develop a new methodology to quantify EF at a global scale. EF are developed for grids (0.1 degree spatial resolution) for different levels of health (defined as environmental management classes [EMCs]) of river sections. Additionally, EF have been separated into surface water and groundwater components, which also helps in developing sustainable groundwater abstraction (SGWA) limits. An online tool has been developed to calculate EF and SGWA in any area of interest.
