Freeman Murray is a second-generation technology entrepreneur from the Silicon Valley, US. He has been working with Internet startups as a volunteer, employee, founder, investor and mentor for almost 20 years.

Having been in India the past seven years exploring how to help young people here create technology enabled businesses, Freeman truly believes the power of India and the Internet revolution belongs to the youth. But what is the ideology and belief system behind all of the numerous, innovative projects, the fuel that keeps this legendary entrepreneur up and running with success? Freeman’s answer describes how with a combination of hard work, good fortune and a curious predisposition towards a very low cost standard of living he has been blessed with a significant amount of freedom from very early of his life.

Conclusion

Extreme freedom gives the chance to ask: “What do I really want?” After travelling and soul searching, Freeman came to a conclusion: he wants a happy, healthy, sustainable lifestyle with the aim to use his skills, time, energy and money to make the happy, healthy, sustainable lifestyles more readily available to others. He believes that motivation and dedication are the primary ingredients people need to be successful.

“With these, ambitious people will learn and do whatever necessary to achieve their dreams. Looking inward at the gifts I carry, perhaps the most important is an almost religious personal identification with the Internet. I believe education, justice, money and meaningful membership in the international community are widely available via the Internet to those with the access and understanding of how to engage it properly,” he describes.

Startup School

Work on Freeman’s current project, Startup School, is going on in full swing at Startup Village in Kochi. With the Startup School, he aims to help young people setup profitable technology companies, learn technical skills, live sustainably, meditate, do yoga, be happy and grab the opportunities of a lifetime.

“Teams entering the Startup School are like the first eight cells that make up a person just after conception. The attitude of the stem cell is one of flexibility. They can become anything. If the body needs a muscle to be successful, they’ll become a muscle. If the body needs a brain, they’ll turn into a brain. Internet startups need software developers, people doing marketing, customer support, and graphic design etc. There’s no room for founders to say, such and such a task is not in my job description. If the task needs doing, you do it. If you don’t know how, you learn. Repeat this every day for several years and you become the kind of well-rounded resourceful person a startup needs to be successful,” he signs off.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child, due later this month. In anticipation of this joyous milestone, the couple recently shared a series of heartwarming photos from their pregnancy photoshoot. The pictures beautifully capture mom-to-be Deepika flaunting her baby bump, while others showcase the couple sharing joyful moments, their smiles wide and laughter contagious.

In the photos, Deepika stuns in various outfits. She rocks mom jeans paired with a lacy bra and cardigan in the first few shots, exuding casual elegance. In another set, she channels her inner boss lady in a sleek black pantsuit. A third look features Deepika in a see-through maxi dress, where she is captured twirling and lost in thought. For her final look, she dons a black, see-through bodycon dress, posing alongside her husband Ranveer in a series of intimate and stylish shots. The couple captioned their post with a few simple emojis, but that was enough to ignite a flurry of reactions from fans.

Deepika and Ranveer first announced their pregnancy on February 29, just before attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar. Their announcement featured a postcard with the word “September” and adorable drawings of baby accessories. Following the news, Deepika faced criticism and accusations of faking her baby bump. However, with this stunning photoshoot, she has gracefully silenced her detractors, proving once again that she is in full command of her narrative.
