misguided mishap- l.norris

Day 5 of fic-tober! fic-tober masterlist

summary: One bed… what could go wrong? (SMUT 18+)

pairing: lando norris x fewtrell! fem! reader

୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ

Long days and long flights. That was your life now. Yes, you were excited when Max had asked you to join Quadrant straight out of college as one of their PR/ marketing managers, but that was when you still thought it would be an office job. You liked to travel, in the sense that you liked seeing new cultures, countries and relaxing every now and then. What you didn’t like was the 4 days when you’d somehow been in 3 different time zones, trying to wrangle an overactive puppy in the form of a 21 year old skateboarder. Thus the joys of the job. 

Yet now, you were busy at a party making connections and ‘networking’ (Max’s favourite buzzword), too tired to even notice  Max and Lando’s eyes on you. You smiled and politely laughed at exactly the right moments in your conversation with Mark from some startup you’d never heard of or cared about. They both watched with soft smiles on their faces as you navigated the conversations simply, making everyone feel heard. Max was proud to say the least. 

Ever since you’d left for college, Lando hadn’t seen you. He’d always enjoyed your company as a kid, and he’d even thought he’d had a crush at one point, though Max did shut that down pretty quickly. But seeing you now? You were gorgeous. He couldn’t describe it. It could’ve been your personality, your smile, your eyes, or something fucking cosmic, but Lando was in love, and there was no stopping it. 

“Busy?” Lando smirked, handing you a G&T. You’d just finished up what you’d hoped to be your last business-related conversation of the night. 

You turned to him, startled, then smiled. “Hi Lan,” you gratefully took the drink with a nod. “Thank you.”

“It’s good to see you,” he leaned in closer, trying to not draw attention to the two of you. 

“It’s good to see you too,” you smiled back. “Congrats on your win last weekend!”

He smiled bashfully, proud of what his season had become. “Thanks,” he nodded, slyly wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you closer. “What have you been up to?”

“Working for Max,” you chuckled. “In Quadrant, of course, but still, I’m basically just Keegan’s PR manager,” you pointed out Keegan, who was busy trying to explain the theory of a kickflip to Max, who had been struggling with his skateboarding skills for some time. 

“You work in Quadrant?” he gawked. “I had no idea.”

You smiled. “That’s the sign of a good company, the boss has no clue what’s going on.”

He chuckled. “I’ve missed you.”

“I missed you too,” you nodded, noticing that little sparkle in his eyes as he watched you. 

“Why hasn’t Max been bringing you to races?” He questioned, taking a sip from his drink. 

“I’m busy now,” you shrugged. “Keegan is a handful.”

“Why didn’t you come to Ibiza?” 

You chuckled. “You must’ve really missed me if you’re asking this many questions,” someone knocked into you, pushing you even closer to him. He blushed and whether it was because of your words or the closeness of the two of you, he didn’t know. “Ibiza is a party place, I don’t like parties.”

“Why didn’t I see you at home then? I went back a few weeks ago.”

“I was home a few weeks ago. Maybe we just missed each other,” you suggested. 

“Not off galavanting with a boyfriend?” he teased. 

You leaned in ever closer, directly at his ear. “Why? Jealous?”

He smirked, shaking his head. “You are something else.”

“And to answer your question, no, no boyfriend. Too busy trying to wrangle Keegs,” you smiled as you watched Keegan burst out laughing with Max. “How is F1 going?”

“You haven't been watching?” he asked, chuckling. 

“I get too stressed knowing you’re in the car,” you explained. “I almost lost it when you crashed in Austria.” 

“Good to know you still care about little old me,” he grinned. “I promise you I’m safe.”

And something about the way he said it made you believe him. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the air, maybe it was the intoxicating closeness of him, maybe it was just always supposed to be like this, but you didn’t know. All you knew was that Lando was in front of you, with all of his attention on you, and you felt like falling straight into his trap. 

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” you reminded him. “We both know you’re not safe in that car.”

He shrugged. “I can handle it.”

“I’m sure you can,” you looked up at him through batted eyelashes and smiled. “I think someone’s a fan,” you chuckled, drawing both your attention to the group of girls around his age who were losing their shit over the fact that he was here. 

“Please don’t make me talk to them,” he pleaded and you laughed. One of them slowly started approaching. 

“I don’t think you have a choice,” you smirked and stepped back, waving him a goodbye as his next conversation started. You didn’t notice that he followed you out of the party.

“Trying Irish goodbye?” he smirked, joining you in the elevator. 

“Fuck! You scared me!” you startled. “Do you have to be such a dick?!” 

He laughed, wrapping his arms around you as he apologised. “I’m sorry I scared you,” he mocked, using that stupid baby voice. 

You shoved him off with a playful smirk. “And yes, I’m tired. I just want to get to bed and lie down.”

“Don’t know how well Max will take you not saying goodnight,” he teased. “Might even come check on you.”

“Max can fuck off,” you sighed. “I’m a grown woman, and anyways, he wouldn’t come to the room he probably thinks I’m fucking someone.”

He almost did a double take when you said that, you caught it in the corner of your eye. 

“It’s a long story, but basically Max walked in on me having sex with this guy like 3 whole fucking years ago, and he always brings it up,” you explained. “He likes to hold it over my head.”

“How would he hold that over your head?”

You shrugged. “He thinks I make bad choices, that was one of them in his mind.”

“Was it a bad choice?” he asked, his eyes bearing into the side of your face. Anyone could feel the charged air in that tiny inclosed space. It made the fucking hair on your arms stand up, and gave you goosebumps on your legs. 

You felt your face heat, but answered simply. “No.”

“So then it wasn’t a bad choice,” he told you. “Max shouldn’t have any say in what you do. He’s your brother, not your keeper.”

“I know,” you answered simply, finally looking at him. “Thanks Lan.”

He offered a small smile and let you out of the elevator first. “What room are you?”

“213, you?” “213,” he read out the card the hotel had given him. “Well, that can’t be right.”

“I think it is, I was talking with the hotel staff and they said they’re fully booked up that people from the same companies have been forced to share. Did you come here under Quadrant or Mclaren?”

“Quadrant,” he sighed. You nodded. 

“It’s fine, we’ll survive for one night,” you dismissed the issue with a shrug. 

“One night? I’m here for a week,” he explained. 

“And I’m only here for tonight,” you yawned. “Off to Melbourne in the morning.”

“Break?” 

“Nah, visiting Keegan’s family and doing press stuff,” you explained. You opened the room and let out a sigh of pure rage. “One bed.” 

“I’ll take the floor,” he nodded but you stopped him. 

“We’re adults, we can share a fucking bed Lando,” you chuckled. 

And something about the way that you looked at him made him want to kiss you. The alcohol he’d consumed had definitely loosened his inhibitions and now he was solely focused on you. The way your hair fell, the way you talked to him, the smile on your lips, the way you weren’t shy with him. All of it made him fall deeper and deeper. He didn’t realise he was kissing you until you pulled on his hair, kissing him back. 

“Lan-” you pulled back slightly, but he just started kissing down your neck. “Close the door.”

He kicked it closed and kissed you again, hungry for more. “Jump,” he told you, you obliged and he caught you, carrying you over to the bed. 

“You sure you want this?” you asked as he started pulling off his clothes. 

“I’ve wanted this for a long time,” he smirked, pulling at your clothes. “You sure you want this?”

You just kissed him in response. He kissed down your neck, down your torso, and in between your legs. He took his time pulling off your trousers and underwear. Then he settled himself in front of you and smirked. 

“Such a pretty pussy baby,” he said before placing his mouth on your clit, sucking hard. You let out a yelp as he smirked against you, lapping at your folds, insatiable. It  made you delirious, how good it was, how good he felt. The way his tongue smoothed through your folds, sucking on your clit while he let’s out soft groans as if he’s the one getting sucked off right now. He had you squirming under him, holding your thighs in an iron-clad grip as he sped up. He got sloppier, more lewd sounds coming from the both of you as you got closer and closer to your peak. 

“Fuck, you’re dripping baby,” he groaned aginast your pussy, sending vibrations up your entire body. Your stomach clenched and contracted, and you came all over his face with a loud moan. You’d feel bad for the neighbours if you weren’t so horny. 

“Lan!” you groaned out, pulling his head away and back up to your face. He pressed kisses all over your neck, undoing his trouser to finally let his cock out. He was rock hard, he’d never been this turned on. “Fuck me, please fuck me,” you begged, and everything else fell away. He bottomed out with a moan as you bit into his shoulder to stop yourself from screaming, and when you nodded he started moving. 

You felt like heaven, gripping him like that. It made him feel like he couldn’t stop. Totally pussydrunk. “F-fuck baby,” he whimpered as he picked up the pace. 

“I’m-i’m gonna cum-fuck!” you moaned as he started hitting that gummy spot inside you, making you see fucking stars. “Yes-yes! There Lan, don’t fucking s-stop!”

He wasn’t planning on stopping. He picked up the pace even more, until the room was full of those lewd sounds from your wet pussy and his dirty mouth. 

“Y’like getting fucked like this? In hotel rooms just to l-leave the next morning?” he smirked as you squirmed under him. “Oh baby n-no, you’re not runnin’ away,” he grabbed one of your arms, pinning you down to the bed with a smirk. “Y’think they can hear us?”

That made you clamp down on him even harder, moaning even louder.

“You like that naughty girl?” he smirked, punctuating every word with a particularly hard thrust.  

“Y-yes!” you cried out, barely able to listen to what he was saying. It was all too much, too good, too little. 

“Fuck you’re perfect,” He groaned, biting into your neck as he willed himself not to cum. “Such a naughty girl.”

“Yours Lan, a-all yours,” you whined as you felt yourself getting closer. “I-I’m gonna cum!”

“You cum baby,” he huffed. “Give it to me.”

And he pushed you over the edge again. He kept fucking you through your orgasm, making you cum again as the world went blurry and your ears started ringing. Finally, he came inside you, triggering yet another orgasm as you screamed into a pillow. 

You fell asleep instantly, and he took it upon himself to get you cleaned up. He cleaned you up with a wet towel, put one of his hoodies on you, and kissed you goodnight before joining the bed and wrapping his arms around you. 

୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ

You woke up like that, sore but satisfied with Lando beside you.  Then you realised. What had you done?

10 Book Recs...

Last night I hit 100 books for my #2024Reads (goal is 120), so in honor of that, here are ten recs:

John Carreyrou, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup (nonfiction but reads like a thriller)

Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These (tender and haunting and has found a forever place in my heart)

Martha Wells, Network Effect (maybe the pièce de résistance of the Murderbot Series?)

Michael Lewis, Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon (sobering. And weird)

Louise Glück, The Seven Ages (one of my favorites)

George Eliot, Daniel Deronda (uneven, but with flashes of greatness)

J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan (better read as a grown-up)

Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond (a classic)

C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (timeless)

Pierce Brown, Light Bringer (but only if you've read the whole series, of course)

The Journey in Entrepreneurial Mind : Political Science Edition

Hello, everyone! and every two! and every three!

The Final Pitching: Our OMNIHUB Innovation Takes Pride

After months of hard work, countless brainstorming, conducting several surveys, and more than a few late nights, the day finally arrived for us to pitch our innovative new service application “OMNIHUB '' to the panels. The atmosphere was electric as we took in commencing to pitch, presented a demo of the seamless user experience, and articulated our vision for creating a revolutionary platform to make people’s lives more convenient and open up new opportunities especially to the students. 

Moreover, there were certainly some nerves, months of preparation carried us through. We highlighted OMNIHUB’s unique ability to seamlessly connect users to local services, from transportation to grocery to dog walking and more remotely. I guess, the panel’s eyes lit up as they saw and witnessed just how great and intuitive the app made accessing these modern conveniences. When we revealed our expansive partner network of service, and assuming the presence of developers and partner providers, I believe they will be on board, and expecting that we could feel the rising excitement. 

As the pitch encapsulates, we feel the exploding applause coming from our adviser and the panel. Months of doubt, fatigue and challenges melted away in that moment of validation and promise for our startup’s future. Thus, there is still a long road ahead, pitching OMNIHUB was an incredible milestone and motivating start to our entrepreneurial journey. 

The Entrepreneurial Mind Lecture Series 2024

With the high pitch still fresh, we were fortunate to attend the Entrepreneurial Mind Lecture Series and gain invaluable insights about critical legal and business considerations for startup founders. The discussions around data privacy regulations, intellectual property protection and nurturing a healthy startup ecosystem were not only fascinating but immensely practical. 

One speaker’s cautionary tales about the risks of neglecting data privacy best practices clearly outlined the need to bake those considerations into our respective innovation’s infrastructure from day one. However, sometimes seen as a hindrance, we recognized robust data privacy as an opportunity to build user trust and position our brand as an advocate on valuing digital rights and freedoms. 

The intellectual property talks were another highlight, detailing strategies for safeguarding our core innovations while still encouraging productive partnerships and integrations within the broader ecosystem we aim to facilitate. It was a masterclass in walking the tightrope of protecting our interest while still boldly collaborating. 

Moreover, as we put the context to our innovation, while the OMNIHUB pitch was the dramatic crescendo, lectures like these represent the foundational learnings that will allow us to transform our plucky startup into an enduring, ethical and impactful enterprise. The insights gained will undoubtedly help steer us clear of many potential pitfalls. 

The Entrepreneurial Mind Experience: A Rewarding Whirlwind

The AB Political Science 3 in one frame with Sir Reymark Menguito.

Reflecting on the entire semester with “Entrepreneurial Mind” experience, it was truly a roller coaster in the best way possible. POwered by passion yet anchored in practicality and preparation, we weathered the inevitable storms of self-doubt, fatigue, and creative differences to bring “OMNIHUB” to this exciting inflection point. 

There were countless lows along the way - those nights where it felt like we never made a dent, or disagreements that threatened to derail everything. But each time we hit a roadblock, our resilience, openness to constructive feedback, and sheer belief in our vision pulled us through. We’ll carry the lessons of perseverance, resourcefulness, and teamwork with us forever. 

Of course, the highs were just as intense as the lows - those electrifying moments where everything clicked into place, or a conversation with a subject matter expert unlocked a powerful new idea we’d been stubbornly missing. Celebrating small wins with the team, whether a UI breakthrough or a new partnership commitment, recharged our momentum. 

Nevertheless, the future is unwritten, one thing is certain: we will always be visionary entrepreneurs at heart, capable of pouring out all into pursuing an ambitious idea and weathering any storm required to try and make an impact. OMNIHUB was the catalyst, but the Entrepreneurial MInd experience awakened something deeper- a mindset geared for constant evolution, lifelong learning and solving problems in unconventional ways. 

Moreover, this could not be possible without the ever-dynamic instructor of ours, Sir Reymark Menguito who made our journey in this course become extraordinary, through his expertise, motivation and passion to fuel our vehicles in entrepreneurship. I, myself, am beyond grateful for having Sir Reymark Menguito with us throughout the semester.

The abovementioned, the pitch, lecture series, and complete experience represented not just an academic exercise, but moreover the start of our entrepreneurial voyage. We have been equipped with tools, passion, memories and the hunger to continually innovate for a better world. After this rewarding whirlwind, we are eager to see what ambitious idea captures our “Entrepreneurial Mind” next. 

"Could have been me" a song of Halsey that pertains to someone or something that's holding oneself to be fearless, to do things scared and feel every emotions without restrictions in everything. To have some fun and enjoy things which talks to self indirectly that it could be me if I do it without anything is hampering me. And this is me.

I can't sleep. I'm lying in bed every night, and images of Gaza are running through my head. Fathers holding their babies, dead, caked in dust. Bombs dropped on homes [1], on hospitals [2], on schools [3]. Tens of thousands of dead [4] in indiscriminate bombings [5]. Children crying, pulling through rubble to find their families [6]. The inhumanity of the soldiers is unbearable. They shoot civilians in the street [7], imprison and torture children [8], and strip and humiliate innocent men [9]. But the soldiers are having fun [10]. They're posting to TikTok [11], doing some war crimes [12], then celebrating on the beach [13]. I hate them. I hate them. I can't work. I code for 5 minutes before their bodies come back. I must work, but who can do a startup through a genocide, when 20,000 are dead [14], when the Israeli-imposed starvation is setting in [15]. I try though; the distraction is good for me. I look at my colleagues – the founders, the investors, my network, my friends, my advisors. I'm afraid to open their twitters. Each time I do, it's a roulette: is it business as usual – a new fundraise, the latest in AI, a new model released. The blasé posts are a relief. I can tell myself that they're censored, afraid to speak up about the genocide. Unable or not knowing how to do it. That's understandable. The propaganda kills me. People I thought were friends, were allies. So much humanity for those killed on October 7th, none for the people killed on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, or in November or December [16]. 20,000 people, killed by deliberate, indiscriminate bombing [17]. None either for the people killed on Oct 6th, 5th, 4th [18]. For the people massacred in 1948 [19] and since. No protest of the illegal occupation [20], the illegal settlements [21]. The razing of the villages [22] and the olive groves [23]. They don't exist to them; they didn't happen.

Trusted Firewall Support Services in Dubai for Your Business Security

In today’s hyper-connected digital age, your business is only as strong as its weakest security link.

Why Firewall Support Services Matter Now More Than Ever

Cyber threats don’t knock before entering. Every minute, businesses across the globe face silent attacks from hackers, ransomware, and phishing scams. But here in Dubai, where digital transformation is booming, the stakes are even higher.

Corporate Event Flower Setup in Dubai That’ll Wow Your Guests and Boost Your Brand

Absolutely, every little thing matters for an extravagant event, especially in terms of atmosphere. A well-thought-out corporate event flower decoration setup Dubai companies rent out in their therein-between cousin is perhaps one of the most awesome aspects of the slightest appreciation in all kinds of corporate events - product launches, gala dinners, and award nights.

This means the venue should not be sufficient any longer when it comes to Dubai's tough competition in the corporate world. It must be a perfect experience while making a difference with a truly incredible corporate event flower setup Dubai planners have to offer.

So here's why Floral Décor Takes Corporate Events to the Next Level

More than just sprucing up a space, floral arrangements speak to what your company is about, in terms of its values, vision, and attention to detail. Be it elegance, innovation, or even eco-awareness, the right corporate event flower setup Dubai specialists provide can imprint your intent without a lot of overt noise. 

Just think of flowers as being your brand's very own visual language: sleek white orchids conjure up sophistication and minimalism, while bold tropical arrangements point to energy and creativity. If done well, a corporate event flower setup Dubai would trust you completely in every decision of your event experience.

Setting the Scene: The Role of Strategic Flower Placement

Successful events are all about the thoughtful design. Juggling a flower decoration for an event would mean much more than placing a few lovely vases on tables; it involves that the well-thought-out placement guides the flow, highlights essential areas, and adds to the branding.

Entrance florals: First impressions are very important. Boldly greet your guests with floral installations at the entrance.

Backdrop at the stage: Fresh floral arrangements, especially when placed around the keynote speakers or promotional walls for branding.

Networking zones: This also encourages interaction among people through cozy and comfortable seating areas made more intimate by ambient ornamentation of floral décor.

Photo ops: An eye-catching wall or an archway covered in flowers creates Instagram-worthy spots that invite social sharing.

A corporate event flower setup up the best of the event host in Dubai, creating interest points and percentages of visual delight.

Florals United into Your Brand Identity 

Brand communication has to be consistent, even with the décor of the event. Your selected corporate event flowers setup in Dubai needs to be in line with the defined brand guidelines and color palette so that there is cohesiveness throughout the event space.

Are you a tech startup bringing a new service to market? For this, sleek, monochromatic florals should do it for you: perhaps you are a wellness brand hosting a retreat? Wild greens-and-soft-bloom flourish would do the work for you. Whatever it is-your corporate event flower setup Dubai has to be synonymous with your brand aesthetic.

Seasonally & Sustainably Flower Available

Seasonal flower sourcing guarantees the best freshness and sustainability in the end. However, now with a higher awareness about the environment, most companies will make sure that they practice such eco-consciousness even in the corporate event flower setup Dubai.

This is possibly the best of the Dubai floral designers, commonly involving local flowers and using reusable installations. This is good for the carbon footprint and also for the authenticity of your event. An impressively set corporate event flower setup Dubai can be both eye-catching and sustainable.

Customization Is King

Every event is unique, and so should every floral design. Customization gives you the ability to match every petal and centerpiece to your event's theme, guest list, and purpose.

With custom corporate event flower arrangement services in Dubai, you can choose:

Your own specific flower types and colors

Arrangement styles according to your choice (i.e., modern, classic, bo-ho) 

Customized vases and floral props 

Branded floral elements (i.e., installations inspired by logos)

Tailored floral design shows your guests that you pay attention to detail, and that, in turn, reflects well on your brand.

Corroborating with floral artisans fit for the occasion

While we call floral arrangements art, they can only be said to possess the science of it. You'd basically require a proper understanding of the dynamics of layout, color psychology, and longevity in flower arrangement to visualize your creation downward all the way to corporate expectations. 

Enter people like Flowerstoredubai. Renowned for corporate event flower setup Dubai, they have watched with glee as one brand after another engages them for suitably beautiful-feeling events. 

Your floral partner should be selected on the basis of:

Experience at high corporate levels

Portfolio showcasing a myriad of styles

Ability to accommodate last-minute detailing

Great at liaising with clients

A good corporate event flower setup Dubai partner would work to set everything up, maintain design work, and clean everything up after the event, leaving you to focus on your event.

Bump up brand recognition through event aesthetics

An event generally lasts for a couple of hours, but the impressions created last for a long time. A corporate event flower setup that is memorable to a guest in Dubai will drive their social media engagement, media coverage, and even retention by clients.

It would help to think of florals as an investment in your brand storytelling rather than a cost. Each bouquet becomes your company narrative — elegant, inviting, and unforgettable.

Conclusion

Excellence is the benchmark of Dubai, and so, visuals for your event must be up to par. A well-done corporate event flower setup Dubai companies rely on will not only beautify your venue, but it will also build your brand, augment the guest experience, and carve your business into an industry leader.

Next time you're planning a business event, don't consider floral decoration an afterthought. Let Flowerstoredubai and other professionals shine with you.

Best Coworking Hubs in Hyderabad for Early-Stage Startups

Hyderabad, often dubbed the "City of Pearls," has swiftly transformed into a startup magnet, thanks to its booming tech industry, supportive ecosystem, and affordable living. But what’s truly fueling the early-stage startup culture is the emergence of flexible, community-driven coworking spaces across the city. If you’re a founder looking for a coworking space in Hyderabad that caters to your lean team, provides scalable options, and doesn’t burn your runway, you’ve landed on the right page.

In this post, we’ll explore why Hyderabad’s coworking ecosystem is ideal for startups, what features to look for, and which hubs stand out as the best in the city.

Why Coworking Works for Startups

For early-stage founders, office space can be a huge commitment. Coworking spaces eliminate the need for long-term leases, high overheads, and the headache of setting up utilities. Instead, they offer plug-and-play environments where you can focus solely on growing your business.

Here’s why coworking is the go-to for startup teams in Hyderabad:

Affordability: Lower costs mean more money for product development, marketing, and hiring.

Flexibility: Scale up or down as needed—no need to worry about fixed seats or space you won’t use.

Networking: Share the space with other startups, investors, freelancers, and mentors.

Productivity: Access to meeting rooms, event spaces, and breakout zones tailored for brainstorming and collaboration.

What to Look for in a Coworking Space in Hyderabad

Not all coworking spaces are created equal, especially for startups. Here's a checklist to guide your decision:

Location Look for spaces close to transit hubs like the Hyderabad Metro or in startup-friendly areas like HITEC City, Gachibowli, or Banjara Hills.

Community and Events Is the space hosting pitch sessions, networking mixers, or workshops? A supportive community adds immense value.

Scalability Can you move from a hot desk to a team office as you grow?

High-Speed Internet This is non-negotiable. Ensure they have enterprise-grade broadband and good tech support.

24/7 Access Startups don’t work 9 to 5. Look for a space that allows flexible hours.

Amenities Free coffee, chill zones, meeting rooms, printing, lockers, and cafeteria access should all be part of the package.

Top Coworking Spaces in Hyderabad for Startups

Here are some of Hyderabad’s best coworking spots that cater specifically to early-stage ventures:

1. T-Hub (IIIT Campus, Gachibowli)

T-Hub is the epicenter of Hyderabad’s startup movement. Backed by the Telangana government, it offers incubator support, investor connects, and access to a vibrant tech community. Their coworking space caters to all—from solo founders to small teams.

Highlights:

Startup-friendly pricing

Mentorship programs

Partnerships with accelerators

For startups that want a premium setting, WeWork in HITEC City offers world-class infrastructure and vibe. It's ideal for those pitching to global clients or hiring top-tier talent.

A favorite among bootstrapped startups and solopreneurs, iKeva offers affordable rates and personalized service. They also offer flexible plans and day passes.

Collaboration-focused layout

In-house studio space

5. 91Springboard – Kavuri Hills

Known for its high-energy community and supportive vibe, 91Springboard is a favorite of early-stage founders. It offers everything from hot desks to meeting rooms and private cabins.

Highlights:

Free mentoring sessions

Daily community events

Investor pitch support

Bonus: A Private Office in Hyderabad on a Startup Budget?

While most early-stage startups lean toward open coworking setups, some might need extra privacy for client calls or sensitive operations. In that case, a private office in Hyderabad inside a coworking hub might be your best bet—it offers the seclusion of a traditional office with the flexibility and perks of coworking.

Cost of Coworking Spaces in Hyderabad

One of the biggest advantages Hyderabad offers is affordability. Here's a quick overview of average monthly costs:

Hot Desks: ₹5,000 – ₹8,000

Dedicated Desks: ₹8,000 – ₹12,000

Private Cabins (2–5 seats): ₹15,000 – ₹30,000

Meeting Rooms (hourly): ₹300 – ₹600

Some providers also offer daily passes or hour-based models, which are great for freelancers or founders on the go.

How to Choose the Right Coworking Space for Your Startup

Here’s a simple three-step process:

Visit Multiple Spaces: Don’t decide based on a website. Visit at least 3–5 locations, speak with current members, and test the Wi-Fi speed.

Check Contracts: Look for transparent pricing, flexible terms, and easy exit clauses.

Test the Vibe: The right coworking space feels energizing, not draining. You’ll be spending a lot of time there—make sure it clicks.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right coworking space in Hyderabad could be one of the best strategic decisions you make in your startup’s early days. From lean bootstrapped operations to scaling D2C brands and tech platforms, coworking spaces offer infrastructure, inspiration, and community—all under one roof.

With hubs like T-Hub, 91Springboard, and WeWork dotting the city, Hyderabad continues to make a compelling case as India’s next big startup destination. Whether you’re demoing your MVP, pitching to angel investors, or just trying to focus with good coffee by your side—there’s a desk here waiting for you.

Which Global Awards Can Supercharge Your Business Growth

You’re grinding away, building your business from the ground up. Late nights, endless emails, and that constant hustle to stand out, it’s all part of the journey. But what if one move could put your company on the map, win you new customers, and even land that dream investor? That’s where global awards come in.

The right award can light a fire under your growth, giving you credibility, connections, and a spotlight. Not every award delivers, though some are just a fancy certificate, while others can redefine your future.

This guide breaks down which global awards will actually move the needle for you, with a shout-out to the fresh-off-the-press Global Impact Awards (GIA). It’s packed with real stories, practical steps, and numbers to help you pick awards that’ll make your business soar.

Why You Should Care About Global Awards

Picture this: a potential client hesitates, then chooses you because they saw you won a global award. Or an investor emails you after spotting your win in a headline. That’s the magic of global awards — they’re like a neon sign saying, “This business is legit.” A 2023 survey by the Global Recognition Awards found 85% of business owners say awards boost their revenue and brand trust big time.

But here’s the deal: not all awards are worth your energy. Some are too small, others lack clout. You need ones that match your vibe and deliver real results. The GIA, which hit the scene in 2024, is making waves by celebrating businesses that make a difference. Let’s dig into what makes an award a must-have for your growth.

What Makes a Global Award Worth Your Time

You’ve got a million things on your plate, so you can’t chase every award out there. Zero in on ones that’ll give you a real edge. Here’s what to look for:

Rock-Solid Credibility: Go for awards run by trusted groups with clear, fair judging. The WIPO Global Awards, backed by the United Nations’ World Intellectual Property Organization, have serious street cred because of their tough standards. The GIA earns trust with its exclusive galas packed with global heavyweights.

Matches Your Mission: Pick awards that fit your industry and goals. If you’re a tech startup, the Global Tech Awards will hit harder than a random business award. The GIA’s focus on sustainability and impact is your jam if you’re tackling big issues like climate change or community uplift.

Gets You Noticed: Choose awards with media buzz. The Global Recognition Awards pull in reporters, putting winners in front of fresh audiences. The GIA’s red-carpet events, swarming with cameras and influencers, give your business a worldwide stage.

Connects You to Big Players: Look for awards that link you with movers and shakers. The YPO Global Impact Award hooks winners up with 34,000 CEOs in 140 countries. The GIA’s VIP sessions let you mingle with investors, policymakers, and industry rockstars.

Offers Real Goodies: Some awards hand out cash, mentorship, or tools. The Global Impact Award at Washington University drops $50,000 on startups to fuel growth. The GIA’s tailored recognition could connect you to funding through its high-flying network.

Values Impact: Awards that care about sustainability or social good stand out. The Big 5 Global Impact Awards spotlight green construction, drawing clients who love eco-friendly work. The GIA cheers for businesses making a measurable difference, which resonates with today’s customers.

Stop and think: Does this award vibe with my goals? Will it hook me up with people who can level up my business? If it’s a yes, it’s worth going for.

How Global Awards Fuel Your Fire

CFA by Day, Hustler by Night: Real Candidate Journeys

It is well-known that the path to receiving the CFA charter is quite tough. But today's candidates do not have to worry only about the intense curriculum in order to be CFA qualified; instead, they are complementing this rigorous curriculum with full-time jobs, a startup, and/or some side businesses. And it could be freelance consulting, product launching in fintech, or managing a tiny e-commerce venture, today aspiring CFAs define the word "study hard" differently.

The Multitasking CFA Candidate

Given the increased flexibility of online resources in addition to the growing popularity of asynchronous learning and the many busy professionals taking the CFA qualification while they develop side businesses or remain within demanding careers, many have active workgroups on social network sites such as LinkedIn and Reddit. They can share tales of their testaments of grit and strategic planning regarding hours of study: "between client calls" at airports, or on their daily commute.

However, it is not just the really ambitious ends working here; they necessarily have their need driving them. Inflation is the biggest factor here, along with wanting to add more streams for income and an erratic environment for work, which only motivates people into side hustles while they try and juggle long-term certifications like CFA.

The Hustle: From Finance Blogs to Startups

For instance, Amit is an analyst who co-founded a personal finance blog while preparing for Level II. He began as a weekend hobbyist, but in a short time it has grown into a marvelous platform packed with thousands of readers, with ad revenues that almost pay for his exam.

For instance, Sarah is a Level III candidate who launched a subscription market newsletter on Substack. By integrating her CFA preparation with real-life market analysis, she birthed a mini-business and bolstered her comprehension of concepts like portfolio management and equity valuation.

Even tech ventures are in the mix. A few candidates came up with apps that CFA candidates use, e.g., AI-enabled flashcard with personalized mock exam platforms. These side hustles do not distract; they extend the path of CFA.

Balancing Their Lives: How Candidates Make It Work?

1. Structured Schedules: Time-blocking is a typical tool. Candidates do down-to-the-hour time slots for work, study, and hustle. For visualization of the week and setting up micro-goals, many candidates have apps like Notion or Trello.

2. Intelligent Study Tools: Candidates have changed the way they absorb material by using digital flashcards, CFA forums, and mobile content. Learning comes during commutes, workouts, and coffee breaks.

3. Mental Resilience: It can be said that a positive mental attitude makes the most important difference. Well-adjusted with enough rest, goal-setting, and accountability groups, they have come to the better cycle in which they are able to stay grounded.

Modern CFA Study Culture: Latest

The phenomenon isn't all that individual: It reveals a wider cultural shift. The CFA prep landscape is evolving further, as the gig economy matures and online communities become more well-developed. There's now space for shared notes, public progress tracking, and collaborative mock sessions hosted by peers from different parts of the country.

Such things are evident in the metropolitan cities where financial professionals are known to balance fast-paced jobs and entrepreneur vis-a-vis instincts. The new development of hybrid types of coaching and flexible mentorship in cities like Mumbai. Now, combining a full-time career with these study modules and community support programs is considered normal rather than an exception.

This is how the story goes about the success CFA course mumbai enrollers undergo: customized weekend classes, mentor support, real-world case application workshops-they've all been crafted keeping working professionals on track while allowing them to build independent income streams.

What do they actually recommend?

Candidates with side hustles advise:

Plan well in advance and have a solid plan, especially one that lends itself to time commitments.

When it comes to study hours, think of them as being non-negotiable about client work. The focus should be on results.

Health and social life must never be compromised; a total burnout might set back weeks of progress.

Keep your side hustle tied to finance since working in parallel will reinforce your CFA studies.

If Creating Your Own Path: Towards A Redefined CFA Journey

Long gone are those solitary days of CFA preparation. In modern times, candidates are getting used to managing careers, startups, and family responsibilities while ensuring their examination goals get fulfilled. The trend indicates a deeper change from a fettered academic route to a path toward dynamic professional growth.

With the assistance of technology, grit, and strategic planning, these aspirants are now proving you could have it all. This metamorphosis is starkly visible in developed urban environments where the work-life-study equilibrium is now a seamless continuum. One express case is the CFA Training Program in Mumbai, which is its reflection, giving candidates the future-ready tools necessary for a blend of flexibility, innovation, and industry acceptance on mentorship to pass the exam and prosper in finance beyond it.

Bolt’s Ryan Breslow pins his hopes on a new app that takes on Coinbase, Zelle, and PayPal

Ryan Breslow is officially back.

While the founder of one-click checkout company Bolt re-assumed its helm as CEO in March, Breslow is unveiling Wednesday a new “superapp” that he hopes will formally mark his return as the fintech’s leader. He describes the new product as “one-click crypto and everyday payments” in a single platform, in an exclusive interview with TechCrunch.

The controversial entrepreneur famously stepped down in January 2022 from the San Francisco-based company he started in 2014 after dropping out of Stanford. In recent years, Breslow has been the target of more than one investor lawsuit and faced allegations that he misled investors and violated security laws by inflating metrics while fundraising the last time he ran the company.

Breslow acknowledges that Bolt’s revenue has not been robust in recent years. But he hopes to change that with this new consumer app, which he ambitiously hopes will serve as “a centralized and personalized hub for financial services.”

The app at once competes with a number of other companies such as crypto exchange Coinbase, payments platform Zelle, and PayPal. Its advantage, Breslow claims, is the ability to do what all these others do from one place via mobile.

For example, the app will allow users to buy, sell, send, and receive major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Solana, and Polygon directly within the app. Users are provisioned an on-chain balance powered by Zero Hash and will be able to see their balance in real time, Breslow says.

“I founded Bolt 11 years ago to build the easiest app to buy, sell, and send crypto. I believe this still hasn’t been done well in the marketplace. Today marks a significant day: the return of that original vision,” said Breslow. “We call it ‘Coinbase for the 99%’ who may not be the most technical, but still want to participate in the buying and selling of crypto.” (Bolt in 2022 paid $1.5 billion for cryptocurrency payments company Wyre. It started out as an “easy way to buy, sell, and send crypto” before pivoting to build one-click checkout first.)

Breslow is also hoping to pick up where Zelle left off with the shutdown of its standalone app. With Bolt’s new offering, users can process peer payments “with just a single click” within its app. With Zelle, users can only send payments to peers through banking apps.

On top of that, Bolt has partnered with Midland States Bank to now also offer a debit card that features a rewards program, including up to 3% direct cash back on eligible purchases and up to 7% in Love.com store credits. (Love.com is another startup founded by Breslow in 2023 that is focused on health and wellness. He remains its CEO.)

As Bolt doesn’t offer banking services, users will have to transfer money from another bank account into this one to fund purchases with the debit card.

And lastly, the new app also provides real-time order tracking for users — something other companies such as Klarna offer in their app, as well.

The app is available today in iOS and will soon be available in the Google Play store. Once downloaded, users will be added to a waitlist with iOS users being the first to get off the waitlist.

“Working nights and weekends” The new “superapp” was built within just six months, Breslow claims. Justin Grooms (Bolt’s president and former interim CEO) and Kartik Ramachandran (Bolt’s chief product officer) began work on the app before Breslow was reinstated. Breslow helped advise them during the months prior to his reinstatement.

“Our team has been working nights and weekends to get this ready in time,” Breslow said. Presently, Bolt has about 140 employees.

Despite lackluster revenue growth, Breslow claims that Bolt has managed to still grow in terms of users — with a two-sided network of tens of millions of U.S. shoppers and “hundreds” of merchants such as Revolve and Kendra Scott.

Bolt’s ARR stood at about $28 million with $7 million in gross profit as of the end of March 2024, tech publication Newcomer reported last year.

“Prior to my return, our revenue did not grow much and we haven’t closed as much business as we’d like. We don’t think the company was run as well as it could have been. And that’s something I’m going to change very quickly,” Breslow told TechCrunch. “However, our platform kept on enrolling shoppers and attracting network growth. When I left, it was at 10 million. Now our total shopper network is 80 million in the U.S. and even larger globally.”

He’s hoping to turn that network into revenue for Bolt by earning money from interchange fees for every debit card transaction and charging fees for the purchase and sale of crypto.

“We already have a large trove of data users have provided that has been verified and charged successfully,” he said.

Settling lawsuits The fintech company last year was reportedly trying to raise $450 million in an unusually structured deal that would have valued it at $14 billion. That deal raised questions over its unusual use of $250 million in “marketing credits” and lack of confirmation from an investor mistakenly identified as its lead.

Some of Bolt’s investors, including BlackRock and Hedosophia, sued to block the round, Forbes reported, but that was voluntarily dismissed by all parties, Bolt announced in March.

Today, Bolt is in “early conversations” on a new round that Breslow projects could close “in the mid to near future.”

Breslow was also previously sued by former investor Activant Capital over a $30 million loan that the founder had taken out. Activant claimed Breslow saddled the startup with $30 million in debt by borrowing that amount and then defaulting, with company funds used to pay it back.

The case was eventually settled, with Bolt agreeing to repurchase Activant’s shares for $37 million last year.

Speaking at Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas in March, Breslow defended the loan, framing it as an act of loyalty to Bolt rather than the self-dealing the Activant lawsuit alleged it was.

“I’ve had a tremendous amount of decline over the last three years and have been winning back the trust of judges, investigators, and our team, so it’s been incredibly challenging, but it’s been a remarkable learning experience,” he told TechCrunch. “I’ve learned more in these last three years than in the 10 years prior to that.”

He added: “And even though it’s been challenging, I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity in front of us. I feel so grateful that our company has weathered the storm.”

Bolt, which provides software to retailers to speed up checkout, raised around $1 billion in total venture-backed funding and at one time was valued at $11 billion. Investors include funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, Schonfeld, Invus Opportunities, CreditEase, H.I.G. Growth, and Moore Strategic Ventures, among others.

Here’s what you don’t see on brochures: Rice boasts a 6:1 student-faculty ratio, which means professors actually know your name. You won’t get lost in a lecture hall of 500 students.

Rice’s schools cover everything from Engineering, Natural Sciences, and Architecture to Business, Social Sciences, and Music. Their programs are consistently ranked in the top 20 nationwide.

Their financial aid program, The Rice Investment, offers:

Free tuition for families earning under $75K

Half tuition for incomes up to $140K

Generous aid for middle-class and international students

And guess what? Over 60% of students receive some form of aid, so don’t let cost scare you off.

Life on Campus: Hogwarts Meets Houston

Rice’s unique residential college system is like Hogwarts, but for adults. Each student is randomly assigned to one of 11 colleges where they live, eat, and compete in events. It creates tight-knit communities and deep friendships—no Greek life required.

The campus is beautiful, full of oak trees, public art, and secret study spots. You’ll see students biking to class, playing frisbee on the lawn, or hosting cultural nights under the stars.

Career Outcomes: It’s Not Just a Degree—It’s a Launchpad

Graduates from Rice go on to work at Google, McKinsey, NASA, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, and top medical schools. With the Center for Career Development and strong alumni support, you’re not just earning a degree, you’re building a future. And yes, starting salaries are solid: Civil, computer, and chemical engineering grads often start at $80K+.

Fun fact: Rice is ranked among the Top 5 schools in the U.S. for quality of life and student happiness.

Rice University is not just for Texans. It’s for anyone bold enough to dream big, work hard, and build something meaningful. Whether you're a future engineer, entrepreneur, artist, or policymaker, Rice offers more than a top-tier education. It offers a transformative experience.
