SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence (AI)
DESCRIPTION:How will it affect our lives and careers? \nWhat skills will you\, your children\, and grandchildren need to flourish in such a future? What does it take to be future-ready and life-ready? \nSpeaker: \nAtul Pant – Author\, co-founder of a knowledge management solutions company. He also imparts training on life skills essential for making the less privileged youth employment-ready. \nDate:  Tuesday 27th February 2018 \nVenue: Fladgate LLP\, 16 Great Queen Street\, London WC2B 5DG \nTime:  6.30pm for 7.00pm sharp start \nCost: £10 members & £15 non-members (under 18 and students at no cost) \n\nFollowed by a networking session where refreshments will be served\nConfirm by email: anup@veracityeducation.com or  Tel: 020 7493 0437\n\nSome experts argue that AI will lead to mass unemployment\, leading to massive social unrest; while other experts are of the opinion that adoption of AI will lead to the emergence of new jobs. One thing is for sure\, technology skews the income distribution and creates\, what economists call\, a ‘winner-takes-all-market’. And\, when skills don’t keep pace with technology the end-result is inequality. Would the growing use of AI mean that most humans will survive only on Universal Basic Income and just eke out a living?

SUMMARY:Speed Brunchin’ – Breakfast of Champions
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday 24th June\, members of the WZCC Bangalore Chapter met at Nossa Goa for the first of the series of sessions titled “Speed Brunchin’ – Breakfast of Champions.”  Thirty two participants interacted and networked over Kheema Poi\, Akuri and Puri Bhaji.  We had also invited a few “Youth” non-members\, who had shown interest in becoming members and wanted to know what WZCC was all about.  This session was an outcome of our previous meet wherein we had asked members as to what kind of interactive sessions they would like the Chapter to organise. \n  \nThe session opened with a few words from our Chapter Chair\, Air Chief Marshal Fali H. Major (Retd)\, urging all members\, especially the youth\, to make the most of the opportunities that WZCC offered; specifically a worldwide network of members\, mentors in almost every field of life to assist with start ups and small businesses and the most recent Finance opportunities that the WZCC has initiated with the assistance of the WZO. \n  \nCommittee Member Anahita Jassawala then took over to outline the program for the morning.  Participants were asked to sit opposite someone they did not know\, professionally.  A series of six questions would be asked of the participants and the answers needed to be discussed with the person opposite in an attempt to learn more about each other.  Each question was allotted ten minutes for discussion.  The participants changed seats after every question so that by the end of the session\, each participant had got acquainted and knew a little more about six of their fellow members. \n  \nThe questions were : \n  \nQ1.      What do you do professionally ? \nQ2.      What are some of your favorite things to read/watch/do for inspiration? \nQ3.      What inspired you to get into your current line of work? \n Q4.      Do you have a morning/evening ritual that you follow and recommend to others? \n Q5.      If you would have dinner with anyone dead/alive/real/imaginary\, who would it be and why? \n Q6.      What’s something you wish to accomplish before this year is over? \n  \nThe participants were very actively involved in this networking and almost sorry that the session ended after two hours.  Shernaz Siganporia\, the Secretary of the Bangalore Chapter\, then informed the members that we would continue to have such sessions and increase the membership of the Chapter.  She also reminded everyone that our Chapter is holding the Charity Night Bazar on the 4th of August and that we need maximum participation and support for it\, to encourage the children who are spearheading this event. \n  \nThere was great positive feedback from all the participants and we managed to get five new members to the Chapter.  Further sessions will be built around the five pillars of WZCC namely; Networking\, mentorship\, Industry Experience\, Motivational Talks and Incubation.

SUMMARY:Charity Night Bazaar
DESCRIPTION:Parsi thy name is charity. \nIt was at one of our meetings\, that an idea of a garage sale was proposed as part of our events calendar. \nThe main objective was to enable the youngsters to experience Creating\,\nPlanning and Running a charity event and later\, present their learning’s at a subsequent meeting. \nThe collections from the bazaar would be donated to a Charity of the children’s choice. \nAs the meetings evolved\, with the youngsters accompanied by their parents and the WZCC Committee Members\, the event grew in size to include game stalls and food as well. \nThe Media team of Anahita Jassawala\, Zarin Writer and Navaz Lalkaka\, kept the event alive through the weeks preceding the big day. What made it even better was that we were able to host it at the newly renovated The Lady Jehangir Kothari Memorial Hall. \nZaver Divecha\, who headed the organisation of the Charity Bazar\, has this to say :\n“Great enthusiasm proceeded amongst the garage sale team before the opening of the night bazaar. Many volunteers spent hours sorting through a large number of items such as household goods\, bags\, crockery\, children’s toys as well as many odds and ends generously donated by the community. Close to 300 books were received for the garage sale.\nA very big thank you to Farzeen Daroga \, Shanaz Vakil\, Kashmira Tarapore and Shernaz and Ronny Siganporia\, for tirelessly cleaning\, gift packing\, pricing and cataloguing all these items.” \nThe garage sale turned out to be a big success with most of the items selling out within the first two hours itself. The book section was handled by 12 year youngster \, Umyra Divecha who did a great job of the sales. The real crowning came when the collections were calculated in the garage sale section and the figures brought a big smile on everyone’s faces and made all feel that much was accomplished along with lot of fun laughter and good times. \nIt was not surprising that the food zone would be a hit. Zarine Kharas\, who headed the zone\, reported the following :\n“One would assume that a Parsi would be quite satiated with his home cooked food but apparently not.The array of home-cooked delicacies of Pork Vindaloo\, Sali Murghi\, Wafer-per-Eeda and Dhansak\, were ardently devoured by the crowd of community members that thronged the lower hall of the newly renovated Lady Jehangir Kothari Memorial Hall.\nThe food bazaar zone was a huge hit and most items were sold out in the first hour of opening. All our stalls\, with the exception of two\, sold home-cooked items made by the ladies of our own community. The dessert section sported Choco Chunk Brownies\, Lagan Nu Custard\, Falooda and Ice cream. We also added on a stall by Nossa Goa serving some delicious Goan favourites and fortunately they were able to take on the onslaught of hungry folks once our Pork Vindaloo and Sali Murghi vanished !\nIt was a wonderful feeling to see the kind of footfalls we received and we learned many lessons for our future food bazaars. But the highlight of the evening was the excellent bonhomie between the young and the old members of the Parsi Community and the kind of team spirit that shone through. Here’s to many more successes.” \nTushna Siganporia\, with her budding entrepreneurs\, set up the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) zone consisting of two stalls showcasing 3-D printing and Quilling. Tushnna says \, “The DIY zone gave our young aspiring entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their skill and the experience to sell. The evening was action packed with hard work and fun. Anwita and Trista managed the 3d printed articles stall and sold all the items at their stall. Michelle managed her quilling stall and sold beautiful quilling art envelopes. “The young buds kept their focus\, made their products and sold . .true entrepreneurs in the making. “ \nRoomi Daruwalla\, along with his band of youngsters\, planned and conducted the Games Zone….a mixed bag of activities involving motor skills (yes\, pun intended)\, speed and of course some plain simple luck! The all time favorite game of Skittles titled “KNOCK ‘EM DOWN” saw some healthy participation from both toddlers as well as the teens! The Great Bawa Race also saw a large number of folks queuing up to try their hand at winning the champions trophy (in this case a bar of Gone Wild!)We also had a 1-Minute game involving grams to be transferred from one bowl to the other\, using only a straw\, within a minute! But the surprise package was the “NOSY BAWA” corner where young and old tried to pin the nose onto the Bawa\, beautifully drawn by Tia. Hearty thanks to the entire Malegamvala family for manning the games stall between themselves and some of their young friends! \nMrs. Piroja Mehta donated a painting she had done herself. The same was auctioned brilliantly by Shereyar Vakil for a princely sum of Rs. 10\,000/- that was donated to the Kinder Trust\, run by our very own Diana Bharucha. \nWhat did we achieve? \n* We created an environment that brought the Bangalore Parsi Community together for a noble cause. \n* It was an opportunity for mutual learning between the young and the adult\, coupled with lots of fun and excitement. Of course there were things we could have done better and we are hopeful that we can do this again in a few months\, keeping in mind all the lessons learnt. \n* Most of all it left everyone with a warm feeling of creating new friendships and the joy of working together to get a job well done.

SUMMARY:Our Second Workshop on Entrepreneurship…
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurial Inspiration &  Must Have Skills \n  \nWZCC Toronto and Global Youngpreneurs concluding workshop on introduction to entrepreneurship focused on understanding more in-depth about entrepreneurship and attracting customers. \n  \nAs an inspirational example\, we had Malcolm Mehta\, a 16 year-old social entrepreneur\, studying UK and now in USA who started a football league in a village in India. This made participants realize that age is no hindrance to achieving one’s dreams. Seeing someone so close to their years being successful gives our participants incentive to begin their own entrepreneurial journey. \n  \nIn conjunction with the theme of the session\, tips on getting customers was discussed. These ranged from understanding wants and needs to adding unique elements to the product/service\, to attracting customers via discounts and freebies. This was followed by an activity which tested their business and marketing skills. \n  \nThe second activity was related to logical problem solving\, as it is a must-have skill for entrepreneurs. The youth were placed in an escape room situation\, where they had to solve three puzzles which would then lead them to a code and the escape key. It was a fun and challenging set of quizzes which not only tested their abilities\, but their mettle too. \n  \nBefore ending the workshop\, we recounted the tale of Walt Disney\, and how he established Disney and all its different ventures. \n  \nThe two-part sessions covered the gist of various areas under entrepreneurship. However\, the main aim was to engage our youth with an entrepreneurial mindset\, focus on skills that would help them in the future\, and also to enjoy learning. \n  \nThe Toronto chapter and Global Youngpreneurs will continue giving wings to young dreams and making them a reality.

SUMMARY:Our First Workshop on Introduction To Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Global Youngpreneurs held their first virtual  Introduction to Entrepreneurship workshop for our youth between the ages of 11 to 15. \n  \nIn a rapidly changing world\, we recognize that the most important skills are logical and creative thinking abilities\, and soft skills and these remain overlooked in our regular education system. WZCC Toronto Chapter worked with Global Youngpreneurs to help develop this entrepreneurial mindset in our youth. \n  \nOur first session (out of the two-part series) focused on developing a “business” through experiential learning. The participants were given an activity and tasked with creating a product/service\, along with the name of the company\, the logo and the slogan. Explanation of  an entrepreneur\, giving examples of different products and services and also real-world logos and slogans helped to make the concept of the activity clearer. Right from Royal Bank of Canada\, to Nike\, the participants were made to understand how the logos and slogans of such companies corresponded to the product or service they offered. In return\, the young participants came up with ideas such as a coffee-flavored soft drinks\, to a dog walking service for the elderly\, with slogans such as “Too good to be true” and “Fancy footwork for four-legged friends.” \n  \nThe second activity was a small team building survival challenge and each team was “stranded” in a particular situation (on an island/on the moon) and each team had to pick few items which would help them survive. This activity successfully tested not only their ability to work in teams – including listening skills\, reasoning skills\, and co-operation\, but also logical and creative problem solving. \n  \nNext they worked on building of entrepreneurial traits such as leadership\, team work\, delegation of work\, and promotion. Participants were asked to come up with ideas for running a food or drink stall while working in teams\, thus inculcating aspects of soft skills. Each team came up with an idea for their own food stall\, the location\, how to sell their product\, and also the tasks that each team member would perform. \n  \nAttentiveness\, enthusiasm\, excitement and participation  was maintained throughout and we couldn’t be more happier with the result. \n  \nEvery participant was pushed to think on their feet\, explore their potential\, and most importantly\, learn and have fun!

SUMMARY:Program – Insurance “Transfer of Risks & Risk Mitigation”
DESCRIPTION:14th August 2018 \nDear Members\, \nWorld Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC) provides its members\, among many other services\, an opportunity to learn how to manage various aspects of their finances. This Program guides a person to understand why Insurance is such an important component of financial planning. \nInsurance is a way of managing risks. When a person buys insurance\, the cost of a potential loss is transferred to the Insurance Company in exchange for a fee\, known as premium. Insurance Companies invest funds securely\, so it can grow and pay out when there is a claim. There are various types of insurance besides life insurance – businesses including coverage for property damage\, legal liabilities and employee related risks\, etc. \nToday business is full of Risks and it is very important to transfer Risks so that those in business could totally concentrate on the core business\, with the assurance that both tangible and intangible Risks are transferred and would not hit the Balance Sheet. Today transference of Risks is a complicated legal process and hence\, the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority has introduced Insurance Brokers to the Market\, very much akin to the Developed Countries where a Company or an Individual is always in touch with the Insurance Brokers and never with the Insurance Company. Mr. Maneck Dastur will appraise WZCC members on nuances wherein they can venture into large business without apprehension or fear of Fortuitous\, Force Majeure and Legal Liability losses. He will also speak on why\, most of the Insurance Policies should be structured as per the needs of the Company rather than acceptance of pre-fabricated policies of the Insurance Companies. \nThis program will be conducted by Mr. Maneck Homi Dastur\, who has more than 4 decades of experience in the Insurance Sector handling both Marketing and Technical assignments. He is the General Manager with\nK.M. Dastur Reinsurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd. He has been instrumental in developing and structuring Direct and Reinsurance business. K.M. Dastur Reinsurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd. has 14 offices in India\, 12 offices abroad and are Lloyds Brokers at London\, U.K. They specialize in marketing and structuring covers for Special Contingency\, Event Insurance\, Legal Liability and Group Health Insurance Schemes. \nDetails of the program are – \n\n\n\nDate\n:\nFriday\, 31 August 2018.\n\n\nVenue\n:\nKilachand Conference Room\, IMC Chamber of Commerce & Industry\,\nIMC Building\, IMC Marg\, Churchgate\, Mumbai 400 020\n\n\nTimings\n:\n6.00 p.m.to 6.30 p.m. – Registration\n6.30 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. – Program (includes tea/coffee/snacks break)\n8.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. – Q&A Session.\n\n\n\n  \nThe participation fees for this Program will be Rs.450/- for members and Rs.600/- for non-members. \nhe participants are requested to confirm their attendance with Ms. Zarine Khan / Ms Aban Mistry on\nTel.

SUMMARY:Impact of COVID-19 on your Health and Taxes
DESCRIPTION:The World Zoroastrian Chamber of Commerce – Houston Chapter conducted a very successful webinar on April 10 on the “Impact of COVID-19 on your Health and Taxes”. The session was attended by over 75 people and the attendees greatly appreciated the very timely discussion on the impacts of this pandemic to our daily lives. \nMitra Khumbatta\, CPA and Kershaw Khumbatta\, CPA started the session by presenting highlights about the Coronavirus Aid\, Relief\, and Economic Securities (CARES) Act and how they impact individuals and businesses. Details were provided about stimulus checks for individuals and how the amounts could vary based on income\, and benefits available from the Texas Workforce Commission for unemployed or furloughed individuals. Next\, the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Assistance Program provided by the US Small Business Administration were discussed. The participants found these highlights to be very beneficial as there are many aspects to the stimulus package that apply in varying ways.   \nThe second part of the webinar was presented by Dr. Sorab Italia and he provided facts about COVID-19 and addressed the many fallacies that are being circulated on social media. He discussed the common symptoms of the virus (with fever being a very common symptom)\, where to get tested for the virus\, the timings of test results depending on where you get tested\, the different strains of the virus that have occurred in the past\, how patients with the virus are presently being treated\, the protective masks and gloves that could be worn\, the typical age and personal health of the persons that are severely affected by the virus\, the anticipated timing of the virus peaking in the Houston area\, and the benefits of getting the flu vaccine even though that will not help with this virus. He also stated a vaccine will be the eventual answer to battle this virus\, but it will probably not be available for another year. In addition\, Dr. Italia also dispelled rumors about the many home remedies that can supposedly fight the virus.   \nAn extensive Q&A session was conducted after the speaker presentations and the meeting participants asked dozens of questions about COVID-19’s health and tax implications. It was evident by the significant number of questions and deep interaction that this webinar was extremely well received by our community.
