It doesnt go all the way through the foreskin. S. work directly with farms in places like Ecuador where workers are trained and given the materials they need to send the flowers directly to the consumer cutting out middle men DC-based UrbanStems also keeps costs down by sourcing straight from farms—promising workers get fair wages and use sustainable practices— but delivers the goods itself increasing transparency by having the delivery person send customers a photo of the bouquet outside the recipient’s home Dyme’s startup Flowers for Dreams sources from local farms (as long as the weather allows) and partners with a Chicago-area charity each month giving away a quarter of its profits The business has worked with outfits like the Cook County jail buying blooms that inmates grow as part of an agriculture-based rehabilitation programIf these floral entrepreneurs have anything in common besides measuring things in "stems" it’s contempt for the old ways of doing business "The process sucks" says Schwab speaking of his experiences buying flowers before co-founding BloomThat in 2013 "Every time I send them they’re ugly or they’re wrong or they’re different and they’re never really a representation of who I am or what I want And they’re expensive"From women to womenRelatedlanguageOne of the World’s 7000 Languages Dies Every Three Months Can Apps Help Save ThemlanguageOne of the World’s 7000 Languages Dies Every Three Months Can Apps Help Save ThemAnother thing most of these floral startups have in common is that they were founded by men Farmgirl Flowers is the lone company in this cohort that was founded by a woman And that may be a business advantage in an industry that caters largely to female consumers Stembel says she fell into the same trap as many other founders in the beginning thinking that it was men who do most of the flower-buying in America While men do shell out for blooms on holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day they say when the year is looked at as a whole several of these startups say that more than 75% of their customers are female On a daily basis most flowers in the US are being sent from women to womenWhatever benefit her gender might give her Stembel believes it has also been a hurdle Despite year-over-year growth and a loyal following she says she has had trouble raising funds from rooms full of male venture capitalists Fellow San Francisco-based competitor BloomThat meanwhile counts the likes of actor Ashton Kutcher among investors Farmgirl Flowers (Stembel really did grow up on a farm in Indiana) founded in 2010 before going nationwide in 2015 has never had less than 240% growth year-over-year she says It would be profitable if Stembel wasn’t funneling every penny back into growing the business"It’s unconscious bias" she says "People trust people that look like them And I never pitch to a room full of women ever I always pitch to a room full of 50-year-old men There’s even a little bit of a good ol’ boys network where I can’t buy from some growers because I’m a woman"Some of those venture capitalists Stembel recalls have said they simply don’t see the appeal of her aesthetic—which may mean they’re failing to understand what most customers want To understand the difference between which blooms appeal to men and women Stembel conducted two focus groups She gathered 40 men and 40 women and made up two bouquets One was Farmgirl’s "typical style" with neutral and muted tones bold notes plants like ornamental kale blush chippendale roses and lisianthus The other was what she calls a "Crayola box" arrangement "where it’s every color of the rainbow like you would see at a lot of grocery stores" she says Then she asked them to indicate which one they preferred While 40 out of 40 women chose the Farmgirl bouquet 39 out of 40 men chose the Crayola option"It’s all about size with men" Stembel says of what she’s learned since then "They’d rather have the cheap—we think of them as gaudy—flowers like the Gerber daisies and the sunflowers big head but not very expensive And women want the garden roses the peonies fringe tulips calla lilies the really really special things And those have a much higher price point and are smaller flowers"Eliminating choiceMost of these startups count the elimination of waste and spoilage among their highest goals While many do this by limiting their selection to five or so bouquets that change seasonally rather than stocking everything like a florist might Farmgirl Flowers began with a more extreme idea: Offering only one arrangement per day To this Stembel then added a moral restraint also unique to her company: source all its flowers directly from American farmers of whom relatively few remain after decades of outsourcing to countries with lower wages weaker currencies lush growing seasons and stable duty-free agreements with the US (Washington is partly responsible for the import-heavy state of affairs and decline of the American flower farmer having previously encouraged South American farmers to grow and sell blooms to the US rather than cocaine)This business model does save Farmgirl Flowers the cost of spoiled inventory—she offers shoppers examples of her aesthetic with photos of previous arrangements so they have some idea what they’re getting—but it also saddles her with higher costs per stem "I could get a dozen roses from Ecuador for $3 if I wanted to" she says But she doesn’t Instead she pays between $9 and $25 to buy roses from the remaining farms in California where about 75% of American cut flowers are grownWhile she can position herself as a champion of American farmers in an age when buying local and domestic is de rigueur Stembel knows her insistence on buying American as well as her insistence on the expensive practice of hiring workers as employees rather than independent contractors may well be part of what is turning venture capitalists off Still she’s determined that just like she didn’t need a college degree to get this far she doesn’t need outside help to continue remaking the flower business"I have that dream where I’ll have that Pretty Woman moment" Stembel says in the flower market standing on top of eucalyptus leaves and beneath a sign of her company’s name in lights "where I go back to the VCs that I pitched in the last year and tell them ‘Big mistake’”The emphatic victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand assembly polls has brought the party’s relationship with its ideological mentor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) back in focus One key question for which an answer has been sought ever since Narendra Modi led the BJP to power in 2014 is whether it is Modi who dominates the RSS or vice-versa Some political observers have been predicting that Modi will now dominate the RSS Others feel that with the Prime Minister and his protégé Amit Shah being in full command of the BJP and leading it to one victory after the other it is the beginning of the end of the RSS’ influence on the BJP A poster of Prime Minister Narendra Modi streaked saffron on eve of Holi PTI This is patently untrue The answers to these questions lie to some extent in the organisational structure of the BJP and the RSS But before we go into this it would be pertinent to point out that those who are raising such questions are starting this narrative on the premise that Modi and the RSS are at loggerheads with each other The fact is that Modi and RSS have been on the same page especially since the 2014 Lok Sabha polls The RSS’ learning from its experience during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s earlier BJP regime has ensured that it does not get involved in the micro-management of either the party or the government The top RSS brass and the Modi-Shah duo have been communicating with each other almost every day discussing crucial policy and organisational issues The RSS has largely given a free hand to Modi and Shah and they have responded well by appointing people with strong RSS backgrounds in key positions within the government and the BJP An important example of the RSS and Modi being on the same page is the priority given to the north-east by the Prime Minister For the RSS expanding its footprint and strengthening its influence in the north-east is top of its agenda It feels that conversion of Hindus into Christianity has changed the demographics of this region resulting in a threat to India’s territorial integrity and this trend needs to be reversed More than 4000 RSS pracharaks (full-time workers) have been deployed in the region alone Modi’s first official domestic visit outside Delhi as Prime Minister was to the North East No other Prime Minister has visited north-eastern states so many times in such a short span after assuming office as Modi has In most of the central government ministries projects in north-eastern states are being pushed vigorously Organisationally Ram Madhav an RSS Pracharak has been given charge of the North East The results are visible The BJP has made strong inroads into the region It has formed governments in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam —and now in Manipur The party is hopeful of wresting other states in the near future Now if one looks at the organisational structure of the BJP one would realise how intrinsically the RSS and BJP are linked Both at the national level and the state level the second-most important post in BJP units after the President’s is that of an "Organising Secretary" These posts are manned exclusively by RSS Pracharaks The Organising Secretary has the last word when it comes to organisational issues He would sit in all crucial meetings and is part of the decision-making process at every level In bigger state units like Uttar Pradesh as well as at the national level the Organising Secretary is assisted by several deputies All of them are RSS full-timers They generally look after the BJP affairs in states allocated to them To make this clearer let us look at the case of Sunil Bansal the Organising Secretary of the BJP’s Uttar Pradesh unit Bansal played a key role in the 2014 victory of the BJP in the state He was the Man Friday of BJP President Amit Shah At that time he was "Assistant Organising Secretary (Sah Sangathan Mantri)" He was elevated to the post of Organising Secretary after his stellar role in the BJP’s performance in 2014 In 2017 he played a key role in delivering the state to the BJP In Uttarakhand a similar role has been played by another RSS full-timer Shiv Prakash who is an Assistant Organising Secretary at the national level He assists the BJP Organising Secretary Ram Lal who is also an RSS Pracharak If one looks at the Modi’s ministers almost three-fourths have been committed RSS cadres Before being drafting to the BJP senior ministers like JP Nadda Rajnath Singh Narendra Singh Tomar Manohar Parrikar Nitin Gadkari and Prakash Javadekar have been part of the RSS They were all handpicked by Modi The Chief Ministers picked by Modi such as Devendra Fadnavis (Maharashtra) ML Khattar (Haryana) and Raghubar Das (Jharkhand) have all been committed RSS workers Thus there is not going to be any shift in the balance of power within the Sangh Parivar as the Modi-Shah duo and the RSS top brass are not competing with each other — they are rather complementing each other The recent poll results are the outcome of this synergy — and Modi Shah and the RSS realise it well Three days after Hawaii’s false ballistic-missile alert triggered panic across the islands causing people to run for cover and
