For many years screens in the West have portrayed an image of South Asians that made Ravi Chand feel uncomfortable. Born in Fiji with Indian heritage, he decided to do a survey to figure out if only he felt this way or whether this was the universal way. His survey confirmed his fears—that despite the recent rise of South Asian talent, a lot of the stereotyping continues. Ravi’s cover story helps us grasp the goings-on in the world of entertainment. His survey found that there is almost no sensitivity to the nuances of South Asian Diaspora characters, unless the creators of the show are from the Diaspora themselves.
Meanwhile, Abhisshek Shah, co-founder of AppSolar, speaks to our readers on how he got into the renewable energy business, mainly because he wanted to give his customers quality products. “I had learned a lot from my previous experience at other solar companies regarding cheap quality products that were being sold and installed in the market.
