the combined company will almost certainly be added back to the index , which ' ' should be positive for the stock over time , ' ' page said .
' ' you may get some weakness here in the interim , but we think it will be reverse trade in march when the companies combine . ' '
iteration , much of whose executive team previously had technical roles at canadian natural resources ltd . [ nyse : cnq ; tsx : cnq ] , began in march 2005 with the business of the former hawker resources and has production of 8 , 250 boe per day and a land base of about 1 , 000 square kilometres .

this article angel investor clive mayhew leads $ 1 . 7m round in openlearning was originally published in brw .
openlearning allows anybody to build a course on its platform for free , as long as it is made publicly available .
explore interactive activities you can create with openlearning ' s tools to keep students immersed and engaged in your online courses .
openlearning is a platform that enables students and teachers across the world to experience online learning . the social way : )
openlearning is free for public courses but there is an enterprise model for businesses and private course providers who want to restrict participation .
mr brimo founded openlearning with one of his former teachers at the university of nsw , richard buckland . last year they used the openlearning platform , which they both had a hand in developing , to put professor buckland’s unsw introductory computing course online for free – becoming australia’s first home - grown mooc .
mayhew says it is the opportunity for growth that is most appealing . he described openlearning’s current revenue as “immaterial
and says he disregarded most of the forecasts .
openlearning chief executive adam brimo said the software platform could now offer organisations a branded e - learning portal and also record the progress of an individual student through a number of courses .
former muru - d participant openlearning has secured $ 1 . 7 million in funding with the aim of growing its users from 125 , 000 to a million globally by next year .
openlearning was founded by adam brimo , richard buckland and david collien in 2012 and the business provides a technology platform for massive open online courses ( moocs ) and other online course providers .
one big question with educational technology is this : is it scalable , and are we scaling at the cost of quality ? join the conversation . mark your calendars for this year ' s openlearning conference : scaling quality education , happening at the connexion conference & events centre on the 26th & 27th of november 2018 . early bird tickets available at www . conference . openlearning . com .
openlearning , the e - learning provider which produced australia’s first massive open online course ( mooc ) a year ago , has enhanced its platform to aim at the corporate training and education provider market .
openlearning says its cloud - based e - learning platform integrates social media techniques – chat , posting comments , blogging and sharing material – to help students learn from each other , and also makes it easy for even non - specialists to create a course .

brimo says openlearning is earning some revenue but it is not a focus right now and the company is not cash - flow positive . there are currently 125 , 000 students around the world using the platform . the business has been global from day one and the biggest market is malaysia for moocs and australia for professional development courses . the us is also a big market .
“at the moment online education is effectively someone uploading content and other people downloading content . . . it’s boring and not that effective ,
brimo says . “so we started openlearning to provide a platform that could facilitate active learning , or constructivism as it’s sometimes called , and the goal is to provide the teachers with the tools to do it but also the education to show them how to do it because teaching online is very different to teaching in a classroom .

he said it would be appealing to businesses for conducting staff training and to educational institutions .
“we’re seeing a lot of interest from corporations , and universities are starting to contact us in the last month or so ,
he said .
furthermore it can handle billing , which allows a company to internally charge its business areas for training or allows an educational institution to charge students for a course . “you could use this to set up an entire school ,
mr brimo said .
he said it was particularly suited to small - to medium - sized businesses and to education providers .
it has 41 free public courses available online . however , it charges fees if the course builder wants to restrict the availability of the course to a particular group , such as a business providing training to staff , or wants to charge a fee to do the course , such as an education provider .
mr brimo said nearly 30 , 000 students had now used openlearning’s platform , some for more than one course .
the round was led by angel investor clive mayhew , who put in $ 1 million . asx - listed ics global , robin and susan yandle , and hideaki fukutake , the director of japanese education company benesse holdings , collectively put in $ 700 , 000 .
the start - up was a participant in the inaugural round of telstra’s muru - d accelerator program last year and has had some previous angel investment , including through muru - d .
mayhew made his money as a technology entrepreneur and has been looking for a new tech investment since selling sky software for $ 21 million last march . in the past year he made a few smaller tech investments through sydney seed fund and also funded a juice cleansing company called orchard street .
“i wanted to stay in education technology because it’s a sector i had a lot of expertise in ,
mayhew says . “i came across adam and richard , and as a management team they were just exceptional people – adam is high energy , a really smart , young kid , and richard is a professor at the university of nsw , a little bit more mature and has the education background . so it was a great team and the opportunity was big enough that it was worth my money and my time and effort .
on the mooc side , the company competes with us - based coursera , which has 10 million users .
“coursera is one of the competitors in the mooc space but it is not a platform people can use to run their own private course or even their own mooc , it’s restricted to the top universities ,
brimo says . “we compete with a combination of the mooc platforms , some of the older online learning management systems , and content delivery systems like udemy .
the funding will be used to expand the engineering team to build out more features and also the instruction and design team that engages with teachers .
“we’re quite excited to get to this point but funding alone is not a marker of success , it’s about giving us the opportunity to build a better product and find more people around the world who want to use it and who can get value out of it ,
brimo says . “this time next year our goal is to have a million users , students and teachers combined .
“the prospectus had all these revenue numbers and revenue growth based on assumptions and i questioned those assumptions , and at the end really didn’t accept their revenue growth numbers at all ,
mayhew says .
“what was really attractive to me was the contracts they had in place in malaysia and the growth they’re achieving already . the number of users has gone from 20 , 000 to 125 , 000 in about six months so what appealed to me is the fact they scaled the operation , they scaled the number of users , and they had a very good [ agreement ] with the malaysian government that would let them scale it even more . i don’t want them to focus on revenue , i want them to focus on going from 125 , 000 to 1 million users as quickly as possible and from there we’ll scale it to 10 million .
mayhew says his background as a technology entrepreneur means he understands this style of investment better than many other angel investors and the important thing is to focus on milestones and user growth , knowing it will convert to revenue when you get critical mass .

entrepreneurship and indian institute of technology have become quite symbiotic , considering the number of iitians who have set up companies and turned successful .
nothing tastes better than success . so what can one learn from successful entrepreneurs ?
a passion for ideas is a must says , jit saxena , co - founder and ceo of netezza . according to him , there is a huge amount of money chasing young entrepreneurs with bright ideas .
there are more private equity investors than entrepreneurs . the venture capital scene is very vibrant in india . however the missing link is that of angel investors . this issue needs to be sorted out , as there are many people who need the initial funding of about rs 25 - 50 lakh ( rs 2 . 5 - 5 million ) . angel investors can play a major role not just with money but also guide them in the right direction ,
ajit balakrishnan , ceo , urltoken said .
ideas must be invaluable . believe in yourself and money will come your way ,
saxena adds .
an idea is more important than the customer at the beginning , ideas can change later to satisfy customer ' s needs , says basant k gupta , director , zeus numerix pvt ltd , who has started his own company along with fellow iitians .
ideas are floating in the air , it is for you to find it , saxena says . the iit brand helps but the focus must be to develop your own name as a big brand , saxena points out .
entrepreneurs agree that india is the best place to be in .
vcs from all over the world are focused on india . there are unparallel opportunities in india . you need the tenacity to pursue your ideas and emerge successful , says basant k gupta .
c amarnath , professor - in - charge , sine cited the success story of society for innovation and entrepreneurship as a resounding example of how entrepreneurship can flourish given the right ecosystem .
at sine , we evaluate the ideas and see how useful it is for the customers . ultimately a product cannot survive without customers .
an entrepreneur should never think about failures . according to balakrishnan , entrepreneurs must be visionaries and they must be careful about vcs , as they tend to live with yesterday ' s wisdom . often they are not willing to accept tomorrow ' s ideas .
being an entrepreneur is a lonely business . it ' s vital to have tomorrow ' s ideas and work towards tremendous opportunities that open up for you ,
he explains .
mentoring is also crucial for entrepreneurs . at sine , amarnath says a huge network of ex - iittians guide young entrepreneurs .
gunjan bagla says its leadership .
you don ' t have to be the most intelligent but you should have a vision and must be able to hire and lead a team of smart people .
choosing complimentary partners is very important , balakrishanan points out . teamwork is vital agrees prof¬†amarnath who is flooded with applications from budding entrepreneurs .

sometimes cultural barriers can undo any multimillion dollar deal . make sure the barrier isn ' t you .
for an american , visiting india can be a clash of expectations and images . staring out a cab window in new delhi , one might see a bank of america sign and a kfc in the background ; in the foreground , several cows roam a street clogged with cars driving as if on a race track . everything looks familiar , and not at all .
so it ' s easy to see why an american entrepreneur , if they haven ' t often been abroad , might breathe a sigh of relief once they meet with an indian vendor , venture capital or some other potential partner , and think : back to the familiarity of the business world , that lovely place i call home .
but you ' re not home , and it ' s important to remember that if you act like you are , you may wind up coming off as that ugly american stereotype when that ' s your least intention . to avoid that , consider these suggestions from entrepreneurs and experts in india - american relations .
that ' s how it goes whether you ' re in new delhi with 11 million residents or a smaller but still cosmopolitan city like navi mumbai , which has just over a million people .
during your first visit , bagla says that while you may be itching to make a deal , one of the first questions you may hear is , ' when will you be coming back ? ' and while you may be tempted to say , ' let ' s make a deal , and i ' ll be back as soon as you want , ' that ' s not what an indian entrepreneur wants to hear . he just wants to know when you ' ll be back . a deal can be worked out later , maybe .
bagla offers a cautionary tale of one of his clients who was a ceo and met with some indian entrepreneurs over two visits , but for the third trip , he sent a 23 - year - old junior employee in his place , and the deal fell apart . it sent the message that the american ceo wasn ' t serious about india . and americans should be serious about india . america is india ' s largest trading partner , and its economy is an emerging global powerhouse .
the deal - breaker : not taking into account the religion , region or background of your counterpart india has 23 languages and half a dozen major religions , including hinduism , christianity , buddhism , jainism and sikhism .
you must customize your approach ,
bagla says .
a punjabi - speaking sikh machine shop owner in delhi may behave very differently from a gujarati - speaking vegetarian jain in mumbai . in that sense , india is like europe . you wouldn ' t do business in sweden the same way as you would in croatia , would you ?
the deal - breaker : missing the social nuances business people in india , as a general rule , don ' t like to say no . as s . elizabeth foster , a partner at the law firm of luce , forward , hamilton & scripps in san diego , who often does business in india , says ,
you may think the business person across the table is conceding your point ; he or she may just be exercising politeness while thinking it over or even disagreeing with you .
that can make things tricky . you might think you ' re still negotiating and have a shot at making a deal when - - well , not so much . or on the other hand , maybe you are negotiating .
or you might fall into the trap of poking fun at a passerby who has a shaggy beard tied around his waist . that would likely mean that he ' s a devout follower of sikhism , and for all you know , you ' ve just insulted some family members or friends of your new business colleague .
some tips for getting by since many indians are proficient in english , you need not worry about the language barrier . but here are additional things to consider when doing business in india :
india ' s culture is very family - centric , so be a human being and pull out the photos of your kids .
there are still differences among the genders in india . after doing business in india for the last four years , diahna lynn of diahna lynn hair studio in silver spring , md , suggests : if you ' re a woman , bring a man to help you in negotiating .
try to reel in the american slang , which can make you sound like someone who doesn ' t know english .
don ' t ever let yourself appear arrogant or superior [ to how things are done in india ] , even when something appears absurd to you ,
warns gunjan bagla .
indians can be very thin - skinned about this .
do your research . one book to check out is , what ' s this india business ? offshoring , outsourcing and the global services revolution by paul davies and doing business in india by rajesh kumar and anand sethi .
gift - giving is customary in india and a nice way to cement a business friendship , but it ' s often not expected during the first meeting . if you go that route , stay away from white and black wrapping paper . those colors are considered bad luck . if your colleague is a hindu , avoid giving anything that ' s made out of leather . many hindus are vegetarian and may not appreciate it . and remember - - it ' s a global economy . chances are , if you bring something american , they can buy it at their local shopping mall . so try to find a gift that ' s unique to your state or town .

president obama encouraged more trade with india as a way to add jobs in the us during his nov . 4 - 14 trip to asia , but enterprising americans aren ' t waiting for jobs to come to america .
u . s . president barack obama and india ' s prime minister manmohan singh during president obama ' s visit to india on nov . 8 . more us workers are now heading to india to seek out their fortunes .
. a college grad with an eye for business , he wasn ' t concerned about unfamiliar turf or overcrowded cities . more worrisome was the competition he ' d face from indian peers with a reputation for math smarts and hard - driving ambition .
but three years later , the company he launched here to help consumers detect counterfeit medicine has just inked deals with indian drugmakers to use his service on 50 million packages of pills a year . while indians have long headed to the united states to boost their fortunes , mr . sigworth sees india as a land of opportunity where americans can bring much - needed skills to the table – despite concerns that us education is turning out workers who cannot compete .
when i first moved to india i thought , ' gosh , here i am surrounded by people who are doing algebra in elementary school . . . . [ with ] all these smart people , how can i even compete ? '
says sigworth , a 20 - something from connecticut who is cofounder and ceo of pharmasecure in new delhi .
what he discovered , he says , is that american education and american cultural heritage
prepare us so well for working in the world , for being pioneers .
on president obama ' s nov . 4 - 14 trip to asia , he encouraged more trade with india as a way to add jobs in the us , but enterprising americans like sigworth aren ' t waiting for jobs to come to america .
i would say , ' go east , young man , '
he says .
i think sometimes people in the us don ' t realize what they bring to the table if they go outside of their country .
part of what they can bring , he says , is an outlook that comes from the international nature of american higher education . sigworth and a small group of friends at dartmouth college in hanover , n . h . , came up with their business idea after hearing from african classmates about the problem of fake medicine .
their solution : print a randomized code on each pill pack , along with a number to text in order to verify the code . a computer receives the cellphone message , checks the code in a database , and sends back expiration and batch information that the customer can crosscheck .
implementing this idea are 10 employees . some are indian - americans , others are indians who have worked or studied in the us . complementary skills and perspectives have emerged on this team , some influenced by cultural upbringing .
at a basic level , americans come from a culture of affluence , and indians – particularly in past decades – come from a culture of scarcity . americans , therefore , tend to bring higher expectations for customer service and quality control .
we know what we expect . we demand it ,
says sigworth .
luke pomranky , another american at the company , notes that those with us training tend to focus on identifying steps toward a goal .
i see that as well with indians who have gone to the states and have come back with this different mentality that it ' s not just that [ a goal ] will come about miraculously , but it ' s much more , ' what ' s our plan of action to make this happen ? '
those growing up in a less - wealthy india , however , bring experience in shaving down costs of production . given the large population , many businesses here make money on low - margin , high - volume sales .
the indian focus on the bottom dollar helped sigworth stick to priorities . for example , pharmasecure ' s office sits up a couple of flights of dark steps in a cramped back alley behind a hindu temple and between a sweet shop and a leather vendor . as his company grew , sigworth grew anxious about the low - budget digs – until he visited the corporate headquarters of a large manufacturer in delhi .
i walk up this windy staircase , dimly lit . i would never have guessed that this is a multibillion - dollar company . no air conditioning ,
says sigworth .
and then i realized that [ as ] you see the growth rates of companies here [ you realize ] … they haven ' t had time to move .
india ' s economy is projected to grow by 8 . 5 percent this fiscal year , and last year mostly dodged the slump that hit the us and europe .
trade between india and the us is expected to reach $ 50 billion this year . last year , the us exported almost as much to india ( $ 16 . 4 billion ) as it imported ( $ 21 . 2 billion ) . a study by the india - us world affairs institute linked those american exports to 96 , 000 us jobs .

jessica had just started her riveting 8 - month career as a teller at jpmorgan chase while armand was ending year two as a relationship banker . one celebratory night out at tropics for reaching the branch goals + several adult beverages + jessica ' s parents driving up and down the nautical mile at 3am looking for her and the rest is history . two job changes , one apartment move , one adorable puppy and a thousand laughs later , jessica and armand have been inseparable since october 2013 .
halloween weekend 2016 , armand made dinner reservations at oheka castle because they had to have the crab cakes . on the drive to oheka , armand ' s hands were soooo sweaty and he just kept repeating that he didn ' t feel well , all the while jessica was thinking that we better not drive all the way there to just have to turn back around . jessica and armand had the crab cakes ( that were just okay ) , dinner and were waiting for dessert to come out . the waitress brought over a plate that had the words
will you marry me ?
written on it in red cupcake frosting ( how romantic ) . jessica looked down at the plate and instinctually the first words that came out of her mouth were
wait , is this a joke ?
armand pulled out the lauren b box , got down on one knee and asked jessica to marry him . between ugly crying and repeatedly saying
oh my god , oh my god , oh my god is this a joke
, jessica said yes , making halloween weekend 2016 the best weekend so far !

since 2002 , american companies have lobbied for clearer oversight of medical device sales and manufacturing in india . as of january 2018 , they will have their wish . under a mandate to improve patient safety while improving the ease of doing business , prime minister narendra modi’s ministry of health published a 108 - page notification covering the regulation of the manufacture , sale , and possible recall of virtually all kinds of medical devices , whether imported or domestic .
as american medical device companies look overseas for new opportunities , they see exports languishing in russia due to political risks and brazil’s economy slowing .
what are the growth factors driving the medical device business in india . as with many other things , india is a study in stark contrasts when it comes to the healthcare industry .
in the past , multinational consumer products companies have often considered the indian market as too unfamiliar , too competitive and too remote . this view is no longer justified for any large , mid - sized or growing american company .
india personal care market grew at 13 % in 2010 . by 2025 , india will become the 5th largest consumer market in the world . india’s cpg market will grow to $ 33 . 4 billion by 2015 .
rather than standardize on just one reactor platform , the indian approach is to invite a wide range of nuclear participants from overseas to supplement its indigenous development of heavy water and fast breeder platforms .
at this time , there is probably no untapped market with greater promise and potential for nuclear energy development than india . news reports have described it is a $ 100 billion opportunity .
