A wonderful business model




You might have seen the above seen very often, now days it has started becoming quite common outside any temple in India.


Today evening when I went to a nearby temple I found an old lady sitting next to a cow with lots of grass with her, which she probably has collected from the nearby ground.


Unlike the other people, I also have paid her 10₹ and brought some grass to feed the holy cow as feeding cow considered to be an auspicious ritual in Hinduism.



Immediately a thought came into my mind that what a wonderful business model it is, it is neither B2B nor B2C but D2G (devotee to God)


A business model which doesn't need any investment, no working capital, no overheads and all your top line is exactly equal to your bottom line.


Now let's see what kind of earning this old woman is making or may make potentially.

How to download Paid Research Papers for FREE

Sci-Hub

 

Sci-Hub is an online search engine with over 58,000,000 academic papers and articles available for direct download, bypassing publisher paywalls. New papers are uploaded daily when accessed through educational institution proxies, and papers that have been accessed through Sci-Hub are stored in the LibGen repository.
Sci-hub was founded by Kazakh graduate student Alexandra Elbakyan in 2011, as a reaction to the high cost of research papers behind paywalls, typically US$30 each when bought on a per-paper basis.
In 2015 academic publisher Elsevier filed a legal complaint in New York City against Sci-hub alleging copyright infringement by Sci-Hub, and the subsequent lawsuit led to a loss of the original sci-hub.org domain. Following the first domain loss, Sci-Hub has cycled through a number of domains, some of which have been blocked in certain countries. Sci-Hub has been highly controversial, lauded by parts of the scientific and academic communities and condemned by a number of publishers.
