Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu Surges Union government to simplify rules, regulations for startups
Coimbatore: Simplification of rules and regulations, including those related to GST, licensing and bank loans, is the need of the hour to propel the growth of startups, said Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu here on Saturday. He was speaking at the first demo day organized by the Coimbatore-based startup incubator Aalamaram to celebrate the 23 startups it successfully nurtured and showcase their offerings. Six startups exhibited their products at the event, which saw participation of several startup founders and investors. Speaking after the event, Sridhar Vembu said all the 23 startups should be nurtured in a big way so that billion-dollar enterprises could emerge from them. "Not every startup may be successful. It is not important what percentage of startups succeed. What matters is how many jobs are created through startups," he said. When asked about the kind of support the govt should provide, he said the Union govt had already simplified several procedures to benefit startups. However, further simplification is needed, particularly in GST compliance, licensing and access to bank loans, he said.

The startup ecosystem should remain private. The govt's role should be limited to providing easy approvals and relaxed regulations," Sridhar Vembu said.

AAI seeks 17 more acres for airport expansion in Coimbatore
Coimbatore: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has requested the district administration for an additional 17 acres for the city airport expansion project. The district administration said the land acquisition would begin as soon as they received administrative sanction. Vidya Chandran, district revenue officer (land acquisition for airport), said the district administration had already acquired and handed over 604 acres of the 628 acres requested by the AAI for the airport expansion. Of the remaining land parcels, nine acres is entangled in litigation. The remaining 15 acres is yet to be acquired because of multiple ownership and legal heir issues, she said. "As and when we acquire and hand over the remaining land to the AAI, the people who own land in Singanallur, Irugur and Neelambur areas will face connectivity issues, as some roads will be disturbed during the land acquisition. The additional 17 acres will help address the connectivity issues," the officer said. Pointing out that Chinniyampalayam was a crucial area for the proposed runway extension, city airport director G Sambath Kumar said the land earmarked there was yet to be acquired. "The land acquisition issues are being handled by the state govt." He said the AAI had finalised an Erode-based private construction firm to set up a precast compound wall around the newly acquired land. The work is expected to commence by the first week of August, he said. The AAI had floated a tender on March 19, 2025, to construct the precast boundary wall for 16.67km for the newly acquired land at a cost of Rs29 crore, with a deadline to complete the work in 456 days.

This Bollywood couple now owns Vijay Mallya's iconic Kingfisher Villa in Goa. Here's why it is now called the King's Mansion
Once synonymous with Vijay Mallya 's high-flying lifestyle and extravagant soirées, the infamous Kingfisher Villa in Goa has quietly passed into the hands of a new set of power players—Bollywood actor Sachiin Joshi and his wife, former actress Urvashi Sharma. Now renamed King's Mansion , the opulent estate on the shores of Candolim has been reborn with a fresh identity, but not without its share of dramatic history and cinematic connections. The news comes in the wake of Royal Challengers Bangalore 's stunning 2025 IPL win—18 years after its founding—which brought Mallya back into public conversation. As congratulatory messages poured in for the embattled former tycoon, curious eyes turned once again to the symbols of his bygone empire. Chief among them was the palatial Kingfisher Villa, where champagne once flowed as freely as scandal. The King Who Lost His Castle Known as the "King of Good Times," Vijay Mallya was as much a fixture in India's business pages as he was in Page 3 party shots. But the empire began to crumble after his alleged ₹900 crore loan default involving IDBI Bank, among other financial irregularities. In 2016, as Indian agencies closed in, Mallya fled to the United Kingdom under the radar, leaving behind a slew of legal troubles—and the glittering Kingfisher Villa. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Business Sneaker Loved by CEOs and NFL Stars Wolf & Shepherd Shop Now Undo The estate, owned by United Breweries Holdings , was seized by a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India to recover dues from Mallya. Despite three failed auctions, the fourth attempt in 2017 finally found a buyer in Sachiin Joshi, who acquired the property for ₹73.01 crore, just under the reduced reserve price. From Kingfisher to King's Mansion With a sprawling 12,350 square feet of built-up space on a three-acre plot, the villa has long been a symbol of indulgence. Private swimming pools, manicured lawns, open-air dance floors, artificial ponds, and once a fleet of luxury cars—it had it all. But what once echoed with the sounds of the city's elite now has a new voice. You Might Also Like: Kingfisher calendar helped Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif become Bollywood stars, says Vijay Mallya.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urvashi Sharrma (@urvashiamrrahs) Sachiin Joshi, known for films like Azaan , Jackpot , and the Telugu remake of Aashiqui 2 , is not just a film actor. He is also a businessman and the son of Jagdish Joshi, head of the JMJ Group of Industries. Joshi himself owns Viiking Ventures, which deals in everything from alcohol (notably King's Beer ) to hospitality and wellness. The connection to the 'King' label was serendipitous, leading him to christen the villa as King's Mansion . 'For months now, I have been asked about my plans for the villa. Today is the day I open the gates to the world,' Joshi remarked at the time. 'The property has been coronated as the 'King's Mansion'… the brand connection from 'King's Beer' and the inherent grandeur of the property made the choice.'

It's ironic, almost poetic, that the villa now belongs to someone from the very world that once frequented its parties; Bollywood .
