Inference

CDEL has a positive operating cash flow but it has been witnessing net losses for past few years as a major chunk of its revenue, is being eaten up  by the finance cost, other expenses and depreciation. Being a loss making company Return Ratios are meaningless and ratios like Price-to-Book and EV/EBITDA come handy.
Post-issue its Price-to Book is almost 11 whereas EV/EBITDA stands at 22.5.
These valuations are stretched for a loss making company like CDEL.
Even after the loan repayment to the extent of  Rs. 633 crore, a significant amount of debt shall be there on books,
Coffee business and Logistics constitute around 87 % of the total revenue whereas the businesses of financial services,technology parks and other businesses are still in their nascent stages.
Though CDEL is the pioneer of cafe culture in India but considering the per-capita coffee consumption in India,cut-throat competition, higher debts on the books and the stretched offer price of the issue, this issue does not seem that intriguing in the short to medium term and its short-term future might be more  influenced by the hype and exuberance of the market than the valuations.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat.

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
