Career

Hello Harsh, I am 33 yrs old, working as an SAP Consultant in an MNC company. I and one of my friend started one IT company in 2019 and at the same time we started one E-commerce company which we registered it in 2021 as a Pvt Ltd company. Initially, I brought a business of around 2.5L - 3L during the COVID time but most of the time we give in developing our E-commerce company. Due to this, we are unable to focus on our IT company. We have already given 3 years on our E-commerce and we have also launched 2 soaps and 2 essential oils with our own brand and manufactured from 3rd party vendor. Right now both companies are loss-making. I want your suggestion as to which company I should focus on more so that I can bring revenue and make it profitable. I want your guidance.

Ans: It seems like you and your friend are currently running two companies - an IT company and an E-commerce company. While the E-commerce company has been your primary focus and you have launched your own brand of products, both companies are currently loss-making.
To make a decision about which company to focus on, you may want to consider a few things:
1. Revenue potential: Consider the revenue potential of each company. Which company has the potential to generate more revenue in the near future?
2. Market demand: Evaluate the market demand for the products/services offered by each company. Which company has a larger market demand and growth potential?
3. Your expertise: Consider your expertise and experience in both industries. Which company are you more knowledgeable about and can you bring more value to?
4. Cost and resources: Evaluate the cost and resources required to run each company. Which company requires more investment and resources?
Based on the above factors, you can decide which company to focus on. You may also want to consider the possibility of merging the two companies or scaling down one of them to focus on the other.
It is important to remember that building a successful business takes time and effort. It is not uncommon for businesses to experience losses in the early stages. Keep persevering and continue to innovate and adapt to the changing market conditions.
I hope this advice helps you make a decision about which company to focus on. Good luck!

Dear Sir, I and my business partner started one IT company in 2019. After 6 months we started one E-commerce company and also registered that E-commerce company as a Private Company in 2021. From an IT company, I brought a business of nearly 2.5 lacs - 3 lacs from 2019 to 2021 as we were mostly in our other company. We have already given 3 years on our E-commerce still we have not got a single result and due to E-commerce, we couldn't focus on our IT company. For E-commerce, we have launched 2 soaps and 2 essential oils with our own brand and manufactured by 3rd party. E-commerce is a product based so it will take much time to promote the brand, needs to do marketing, etc. On E-commerce, we are just spending a lot but with no results. Right now both companies are loss-making. I want to focus more on IT company now because it is a service based company and we have created the portfolio as well by working for some of the clients before. I believe if we will focus more on the IT company now then we can get revenue as well as we can grow this company. With the grow of the IT company, we can also grow the other company as well. Sir, I want the best suggestion from you.

Ans: When you have limited funds and management bandwidth, it's better to focus on activities that generate immediate cash and build not just your portfolio of work but also your confidence.

Hello sir I am 48 yr old and have problems in life from 2013,I lost job in 2013 and after trying for three yr to get job I started educational franchise but due to covid I have close it down .Now last 1.5 yr I am running generic medicines shop but business is not there and I am running with heavy loss .what should I do now

Ans: It is time to first make yourself financially stable and ensure your family's well-being too. To do this, it would be sensible to cut your losses and find ways of getting a stable source of income. With your experience in running a pharmacy and your contacts in that industry, you could consider a job in Pharma sales for example. That would help you retain your network and familiarity with the pharma industry. Later on, once you are well-set, you could reconsider business.

Career

I am 56 years old. Have served for 30 years in the administration department of 2/3 private organisations. Presently unemployed. Willing to start something on my own or with a partner. Unable to decide as to what should be the business line where there is less risk and steady growth potential. Please advise.

Ans: Let me repeat the answer I just gave to Rizwan today
I have suggested approaches to take with respect to identifying and validating business ideas to previous Rediff users. Kindly go through the same. There are several opportunities but you need to focus on those which
1) are relevant to your experience, expertise,network, passion,
2) take into account finance available or that can be organised by you, plus
3) offer growing prospects.
One option to look at would be to offer outsourced accounting and administration services to companies. There is competition no doubt, but if you have the requisite background and contacts, you could get a roster of 10-15 clients needing such services on a regular basis. Pl study this and other ideas further before you make a thoughtful decision.

Question by Murari - Dec 05, 2025Hindi

Career

Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.

Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dentist - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Question by Visu - Aug 01, 2025Hindi

Health

I am 61. I have a partial removable denture(upper). I also have bridges in both upper and lower. I was suggested to go for implants. Will it be okay to go for implants at a later part of the life. Is it safe both health and moneywise ? Will it be cheaper if we go for full implant with 4 in one ; if so it may need to wait for few more year let other teeth will also fall.. Please guide and advise on implants

Ans: Hello

Please be assured, AGE isn't a barrier for implants. But overall health is a factor. Your dentist will assess your bone density, gum health, and general medical history before he places your implants.

Implants have some definite advantages over removable dentures. They provide a stable and secure fit, improved chewing and speech.
And with proper care may last for 10-15 years or more.
On the negative side, upfront cost of implants can be higher, surgery cannot be avoided and healing can take 3-6 months.

Cost-wise, Implants can be more cost-effective in the long run.
"All-on-4" implants might be cheaper than individual implants, but waiting might lead to deterioration of bone health, making the process more complex.

Consult your dentist about:
- Your specific oral health situation
- Bone density scan (to check if you have enough bone for implants)
- Cost estimates and financing options
- Timeline for the procedure.

My 12 year old son has 2 parallel lines of teeth. One front and the other behind. So far in the behind only 2 teeths are there one in each side. Will this cause any serious issues for him? He has speech problem. Could this be the reason? Does he need to take any immediate corrective procedure?

Ans: Hello
This situation of "2 parallel lines of teeth" arises when permanent teeth erupt BEFORE the deciduous teeth (or milk teeth) have been shed. This indicates a mis-alignment of the permanent teeth. The shedding of milk teeth is dependent on the permanent teeth exerting pressure on them as they grow.
This mis-alignment, indeed, could be the cause of his speech problem.
My advice to you is to consult a competent pediatric dentist or an orthodontist (a dentist who realigns crooked teeth) soon so that corrective measures can be taken.

My front teeth is broken I fell down from my bike while dog is chasing me . I went to dentist i got broken teeth cemented . dentist advised me not to chew anything with cemented teeth it's a life time instruction. It is very discomfort to me .Is there any treatment such that I can chew even with repaired tooth

Ans: Hi.,
Sorry to hear about your fall and the resultant damage to your teeth.
Honestly, it's best to follow your dentist's advice, but I understand your problem. Eating can be a challenge.
Please ask your dentist about sturdier alternatives like dental crowns or bridges. These can provide extra protection and might let you chew more comfortably.

In the meantime, stick to soft foods which do not put pressure on your compromised teeth, or soups. You can also try cutting your food into smaller pieces to reduce pressure on the tooth.

Question by Ganesh - Dec 03, 2025Hindi

Money

Hello Sir/Mam, Currently I'm investing in SIP as per below for the last 3 years, my goal is to achieve 2 crores by the next 10 years. Please suggest me if these MFs are good or any rebalancing is required. I'm planning to increase the SIP by 10% each year. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap - 5K Aditya Birla SF BAF - 2K SBI Large & Midcap - 5K Quant Small Cap - 3K SBI Gold Fund - Growth - 5K Canara Robeco Large cap - 5K Thanks.

Ans: Hello & thanks for writing to me.

Your portfolio is well-allocated across flexicap, large & midcap, small cap, BAF and gold, offering a balanced mix of growth, stability and diversification.

Given your 10-year horizon, keeping a higher allocation towards flexicap and large & midcap funds is appropriate, as these categories help manage volatility while still capturing long-term growth. The small-cap exposure adds additional long-term growth potential, while the Balanced Advantage Fund (BAF) provides stability through its dynamic asset allocation. Your gold allocation further supports diversification and can cushion the portfolio during equity market stress.

At this stage, no major rebalancing is needed. Since you plan to increase your SIPs by 10% every year, directing this additional amount mainly towards your flexicap or large & midcap fund will further strengthen the core of your portfolio over time.

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi

Relationship

My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

Hi Anu, My husband doesn't do house chores. We both work full-time, but I still end up cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. When I ask for help, my partner will say, ‘Just tell me what to do,’ but then he conveniently forgets. Maybe he doesn't like it or he is genuinely forgetful. I have tried many ways to make him explain. Once I only did my share of laundry to make him realise but he simply ignored. Every week this pattern repeats. Is this normal? How can married couples divide responsibilities fairly to avoid fights?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Every home has a different routine and share of responsibilities. So, there's no standard norm to challenge it as normal or not!
So, if you want your husband to pitch in, then say it in clear terms, especially since he has told you to tell him what to do.
Once you have told him, do make sure to ask him: Will you find it convenient to do it now or later? If later, when?
This will ensure that he makes a statement of commitment, so there's no question of forgetting it, right? Play it smart...it's better than feeling bad about the situation or mulling over why something does not work.

All the best!
