Planned Departure 

Life has extended from the physical to the digital world and almost all our information is stored online. However, this information is lost most of the time in the event of death. Information, which could have been useful for family, friends, colleagues and other groups - just disappears. Death not only affects people who were close to the deceased, but it affects organisations such as financial institutes, utility services and the like, who were serving the deceased users. Planned Departure solves these problems by helping people plan well. It provides a secure electronic vault where users can store their digital assets and assign right beneficiaries. With Planned Departure, the user always remains in control of their digital assets. The user can plan their digital afterlife by leaving instructions to nominated beneficiaries. This eases the pain of loss and makes the lives of people left behind a bit more comfortable by giving them critical information in a timely manner.

Shivspix 

Shivspix was born out of the realization (and admiration) that there are many great untold stories in sport. Everyday amazing athletes push themselves to the limits, achieving amazing feats in the process.

Shivspix tells these untold stories through ebooks delivered on line to sports fans across the world.
