Reinvent, collaborate, make life better

 The Telangana High Court directed the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to pay 9% interest to Virtusa Consulting Services Pvt. Ltd. for delaying a refund of provident fund deposits. EPFO had retained around ₹4.05 crore between 2008 and 2015 due to a wrongly executed demand. The court held that the delay was unjustified and ordered that the interest be recovered from the officials responsible, ensuring accountability. The refund, along with interest, must be paid within eight weeks.   This case highlights a crucial principle: any government body, including EPFO, is not above the law. Judicial oversight ensures that citizens and companies are protected against administrative lapses, reinforcing that public institutions must act fairly and responsibly.   Via news on page 1, TOI Hyderabad 28 June '26.

But disaster struck when all three trucks met with accidents within two years, wiping out the family’s savings and livelihood. A petrol pump owner, a near stranger, was holding an account at the very same bank where he went to ask for loan for engineering. The businessman placed a single, powerful phone call to the manager: “Give this man the loan. His son wants to study.”  That single intervention unlocked an incredible transformation.  Khatri got his engineering degree, moved to the United States to earn an MBA from Duke University, and scaled the heights of the tech world.
