21 00:05:08.970 ⇒ 00:05:21.160 Amber Lin: Oh, Hi! Everybody’s here! I’m gonna share my screen. I was just doing some edits to our document. I think we’ll away. Chat was really great last time that we broke it down by
22 00:05:21.670 ⇒ 00:05:30.309 Amber Lin: the project phase. So I went ahead and I broke it down a little bit further. So we have it by project phase, and I put in
23 00:05:30.700 ⇒ 00:05:37.190 Amber Lin: so for each phase I have. I want us to discuss the goals. I ideal state that we wanted to look at.
24 00:05:37.590 ⇒ 00:05:43.908 Amber Lin: I have a racy table so responsible, accountable consulted and informed. So we want to discuss that
25 00:05:44.490 ⇒ 00:06:00.420 Amber Lin: to talk about who’s responsible for what area? And then I also have some questions so tough questions we should ask ourselves. We should define what tough moments and pitfalls might come up, and we can discuss how we’re going to address them.
26 00:06:00.670 ⇒ 00:06:03.319 Amber Lin: Does that sound like a good agenda for everybody.
27 00:06:07.370 ⇒ 00:06:08.650 Demilade Agboola: Good, you know.
28 00:06:10.400 ⇒ 00:06:16.559 Amber Lin: Okay, awesome. Let me share my screen and get started.
29 00:06:19.130 ⇒ 00:06:20.040 Amber Lin: Okay?
30 00:06:21.100 ⇒ 00:06:25.119 Amber Lin: So we can go back to these later.
31 00:06:25.900 ⇒ 00:06:28.050 Amber Lin: So as you can see here.
32 00:06:28.927 ⇒ 00:06:33.929 Amber Lin: We can discuss the goals that we want to have. We have a table.
33 00:06:34.050 ⇒ 00:06:36.030 Amber Lin: And then here are some
34 00:06:37.230 ⇒ 00:06:42.329 Amber Lin: stuff that AI helped me generate, based on our notes last time, and what I
35 00:06:42.500 ⇒ 00:06:44.030 Amber Lin: just what came up to me.
36 00:06:44.930 ⇒ 00:06:53.250 Amber Lin: So let me let’s get started here. Does every does everyone have the stock open so we can just leave some comments around here.
37 00:06:57.708 ⇒ 00:06:58.860 Demilade Agboola: Yes, I have opened.
38 00:06:58.860 ⇒ 00:07:02.459 Amber Lin: Great. You know what. Let’s just spend.
39 00:07:02.640 ⇒ 00:07:18.392 Amber Lin: Let’s spend 2 min and then 2, 3 min. Everyone can just comment. We’ll work on this section. First, st everybody can just comment, edit. Make anything that write anything that comes to your mind. And then we’ll discuss together. Okay, so I will.
40 00:07:19.230 ⇒ 00:07:21.860 Amber Lin: right now it’s 37. We’ll talk at 40.
41 00:07:36.650 ⇒ 00:07:40.730 Uttam Kumaran: Just the 1st section or the whole. This whole section.
42 00:07:42.758 ⇒ 00:07:46.919 Amber Lin: This 1st section. So we can. And we can be concentrated.
43 00:10:43.160 ⇒ 00:10:45.769 Amber Lin: Okay, we’re back.
44 00:10:47.457 ⇒ 00:10:51.040 Amber Lin: Let’s talk about your comments. So
45 00:10:54.490 ⇒ 00:10:57.880 Amber Lin: I guess, Utam, if you’re back, do you want to go first? st
46 00:10:58.860 ⇒ 00:11:00.332 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I guess
47 00:11:00.890 ⇒ 00:11:05.980 Uttam Kumaran: discovery and pre sales. So I guess I kind of one thing that I want to add here is like.
48 00:11:06.240 ⇒ 00:11:07.939 Uttam Kumaran: when does this happen?
49 00:11:08.860 ⇒ 00:11:11.939 Uttam Kumaran: To give you guys a sense of our current sales process.
50 00:11:12.160 ⇒ 00:11:21.679 Uttam Kumaran: we either get a lead or we identify lead. We then have a meeting with them, and there’s either one to 3 sort of discovery meetings. We send a proposal.
51 00:11:22.020 ⇒ 00:11:24.230 Uttam Kumaran: There’s some negotiation, and then we sign.
52 00:11:24.380 ⇒ 00:11:27.449 Uttam Kumaran: So I feel like this team needs to
53 00:11:28.030 ⇒ 00:11:36.170 Uttam Kumaran: be there when we send the. Probably there is an approval of the proposal, or at least one person.
54 00:11:36.340 ⇒ 00:11:38.517 Uttam Kumaran: The the thing is that, like
55 00:11:39.090 ⇒ 00:11:43.680 Uttam Kumaran: or or it should be on like just proposals of a certain size.
56 00:11:44.262 ⇒ 00:11:48.619 Uttam Kumaran: Because one of our advantages right now is that we can turn around proposals pretty fast.
57 00:11:49.502 ⇒ 00:11:53.689 Uttam Kumaran: And like, we’re sort of helping sales reduce the time to a proposal.
58 00:11:53.870 ⇒ 00:11:56.050 Uttam Kumaran: But I want to talk about like
59 00:11:56.370 ⇒ 00:11:59.099 Uttam Kumaran: at what point this team needs to get involved.
60 00:11:59.520 ⇒ 00:12:05.799 Uttam Kumaran: I think, for larger proposals like urban stems. Then I think it’s definitely necessary. But for like quick ones or
61 00:12:06.140 ⇒ 00:12:12.689 Uttam Kumaran: stuff that’s less like 5 K or less where it’s just one person. Maybe we don’t need approval.
62 00:12:17.210 ⇒ 00:12:19.800 Amber Lin: Great. I think that sets the scope of
63 00:12:21.590 ⇒ 00:12:25.479 Amber Lin: when this team needs to be involved. That’s great.
64 00:12:26.210 ⇒ 00:12:26.920 Amber Lin: Oh.
65 00:12:32.540 ⇒ 00:12:33.380 Amber Lin: awesome!
66 00:12:35.460 ⇒ 00:12:39.050 Amber Lin: And I mean, these are.
67 00:12:39.050 ⇒ 00:12:45.386 Uttam Kumaran: I think, yeah. The other, the other thing is like, I just wanna put in here somewhere at the bottom, like the meetings, or like
68 00:12:45.640 ⇒ 00:12:47.710 Amber Lin: And golf meetings. Yeah. Great.
69 00:12:47.710 ⇒ 00:12:50.460 Uttam Kumaran: And then, like one thing is like who
70 00:12:50.600 ⇒ 00:12:56.199 Uttam Kumaran: who schedules and owns which ones right like. For example.
71 00:12:56.460 ⇒ 00:13:04.900 Uttam Kumaran: when we get a new sales opportunity in. If it’s a big one. I I’m happy at the sales side to say, like cool. I’m gonna loop in a Pm. Or a tech lead to do a discussion.
72 00:13:05.260 ⇒ 00:13:06.030 Amber Lin: Okay.
73 00:13:07.202 ⇒ 00:13:12.100 Uttam Kumaran: And then once it’s signed, though I feel like that should go to the Pm. To start up, start to own things.
74 00:13:12.310 ⇒ 00:13:20.460 Amber Lin: Yeah, I I think that perfectly fits into our racy table.
75 00:13:21.160 ⇒ 00:13:27.399 Amber Lin: So if we have, what was the one that we’re talking about. So when we need to loop in
76 00:13:30.650 ⇒ 00:13:36.470 Amber Lin: like loop in Pm. For a meeting and host.
77 00:13:36.470 ⇒ 00:13:36.850 Awaish Kumar: I.
78 00:13:36.850 ⇒ 00:13:41.770 Amber Lin: I’m just gonna put it down here, boyfriend.
79 00:13:44.780 ⇒ 00:13:48.750 Awaish Kumar: Nope, I just added a comment for that.
80 00:13:48.960 ⇒ 00:13:49.530 Amber Lin: Hmm.
81 00:13:54.860 ⇒ 00:13:55.770 Amber Lin: yeah.
82 00:13:59.200 ⇒ 00:14:00.169 Amber Lin: I agree.
83 00:14:02.010 ⇒ 00:14:03.129 Amber Lin: Well, okay.
84 00:14:03.460 ⇒ 00:14:07.340 Amber Lin: Next off wish. Can you talk about your comments?
85 00:14:09.180 ⇒ 00:14:12.560 Awaish Kumar: I just said, like in the technical feasibility, we
86 00:14:12.920 ⇒ 00:14:16.434 Awaish Kumar: we can include the the team.
87 00:14:17.650 ⇒ 00:14:20.880 Awaish Kumar: because, like, we need the input from team on
88 00:14:22.040 ⇒ 00:14:24.390 Awaish Kumar: from the time, estimation, or things like that
89 00:14:25.860 ⇒ 00:14:31.380 Awaish Kumar: for the effort required. And apart from that, I was just saying that before it lends to
90 00:14:31.992 ⇒ 00:14:37.478 Awaish Kumar: the team lead for technical feasibility. We should have a roadmap and and
91 00:14:38.540 ⇒ 00:14:44.080 Awaish Kumar: and the priorities like, listed down as per client input by the Pm.
92 00:14:44.380 ⇒ 00:14:47.940 Awaish Kumar: And after that that lead is going to execute
93 00:14:48.080 ⇒ 00:14:53.889 Awaish Kumar: and figure out the feasibility for each of these priorities, or milestones like.
94 00:14:55.000 ⇒ 00:15:12.730 Amber Lin: Hmm, I see. So I you’re saying that we should include a team lead later, because we do have more specific planning and prioritization later. I think this is mostly for sales purposes of we’re gonna estimate overall how much it takes. So would you say that this is just tech lead over here.
95 00:15:16.060 ⇒ 00:15:20.190 Amber Lin: No, no, I was talking about more like between point 2 and 3.
96 00:15:23.290 ⇒ 00:15:24.280 Amber Lin: Oh, between here.
97 00:15:24.280 ⇒ 00:15:28.510 Awaish Kumar: In the same. The table, like we have row number 2 and row number 3.
98 00:15:29.140 ⇒ 00:15:35.240 Awaish Kumar: Yeah. So I’m I’m just like in my second comment. It just says that we written before.
99 00:15:36.630 ⇒ 00:15:38.549 Awaish Kumar: like, when we have a sales
100 00:15:38.710 ⇒ 00:15:40.730 Awaish Kumar: thing done, then we should have a
101 00:15:41.090 ⇒ 00:15:46.790 Awaish Kumar: add input and based on that, we should have a roadmap from Pm.
102 00:15:46.970 ⇒ 00:15:49.690 Awaish Kumar: Or like a list of milestones.
103 00:15:49.940 ⇒ 00:15:58.490 Awaish Kumar: Then we look for technical feasibility, if that’s possible or not thing like like that.
104 00:15:59.230 ⇒ 00:16:05.539 Amber Lin: I see I see my thought is my thought. Is that how much? I guess this is a question for Utah. How much?
105 00:16:07.140 ⇒ 00:16:09.549 Amber Lin: How detailed would this roadmap be
106 00:16:10.760 ⇒ 00:16:15.710 Amber Lin: in this in this phase? We’re still. We haven’t closed the sales yet.
107 00:16:16.520 ⇒ 00:16:17.170 Amber Lin: Should.
108 00:16:17.170 ⇒ 00:16:17.650 Uttam Kumaran: Saddam.
109 00:16:17.650 ⇒ 00:16:18.170 Amber Lin: Already.
110 00:16:18.170 ⇒ 00:16:18.740 Uttam Kumaran: To pay for.
111 00:16:18.740 ⇒ 00:16:19.430 Amber Lin: It’s.
112 00:16:19.430 ⇒ 00:16:22.260 Uttam Kumaran: For the for the bigger clients. We will have a
113 00:16:22.420 ⇒ 00:16:24.380 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll have a roadmap for sure.
114 00:16:24.630 ⇒ 00:16:25.160 Amber Lin: Hmm.
115 00:16:25.160 ⇒ 00:16:34.189 Uttam Kumaran: But we can talk about what a roadmap constitutes. But there will be a roadmap for sure. So if a client so we have like big. Let’s just say we have big and small clients for small clients
116 00:16:34.340 ⇒ 00:16:37.530 Uttam Kumaran: like, I don’t think we just can’t afford to loop everybody in
117 00:16:38.240 ⇒ 00:16:44.740 Uttam Kumaran: for bigger things. We will loop. We will at least have one meeting, and we will. We should talk about what the deliverables are.
118 00:16:45.170 ⇒ 00:16:45.999 Amber Lin: I see Juan.
119 00:16:46.610 ⇒ 00:16:51.999 Amber Lin: So I guess in this phase we also.
120 00:16:52.890 ⇒ 00:17:01.830 Amber Lin: since we are talking about for bigger clients, for grow.
121 00:17:02.620 ⇒ 00:17:03.813 Amber Lin: Wow! But
122 00:17:10.990 ⇒ 00:17:13.730 Amber Lin: then to sales, and I guess so.
123 00:17:13.730 ⇒ 00:17:14.490 Awaish Kumar: That’s right.
124 00:17:15.940 ⇒ 00:17:21.669 Awaish Kumar: And for the smaller clients like that this roadmap is going to come from sales itself right.
125 00:17:22.569 ⇒ 00:17:29.440 Amber Lin: I assume so. Yes, for smaller clients.
126 00:17:29.710 ⇒ 00:17:31.130 Amber Lin: Roadmap.
127 00:17:34.690 ⇒ 00:17:46.300 Amber Lin: So I think roadmap or so I should put in here.
128 00:17:50.480 ⇒ 00:17:52.710 Amber Lin: Consulted tech lead.
129 00:17:54.810 ⇒ 00:18:03.550 Amber Lin: It’s accountable is still and then we talk about feasibility.
130 00:18:05.900 ⇒ 00:18:10.829 Amber Lin: I don’t know who’s accountable for that, and then estimation
131 00:18:18.690 ⇒ 00:18:23.000 Amber Lin: resolved any comments from you.
132 00:18:24.230 ⇒ 00:18:33.839 Demilade Agboola: I think just generally in terms of estimation. I think the team, the team, lead, or the text lead. Sorry is largely responsible for that in the sense that
133 00:18:35.860 ⇒ 00:18:41.689 Demilade Agboola: it’s important for that project for you to be able to say this is a project that 2 people can handle. 3 people can handle.
134 00:18:41.690 ⇒ 00:18:42.360 Amber Lin: Oh!
135 00:18:43.066 ⇒ 00:18:45.890 Demilade Agboola: And then, I think.
136 00:18:48.760 ⇒ 00:19:07.380 Demilade Agboola: based off like, if you consult like, if you consult with like the executives that can, we can then have conversations based off that. So if I say, Hey, this is a project for 3 people, and looks at it and says, No, I don’t think we have 3 people. We may need to get people, you know, part time or like, figure out how to make that happen.
137 00:19:07.973 ⇒ 00:19:14.250 Demilade Agboola: But I think the responsibility will be on the tech leads. But you definitely need to consult with the executives.
138 00:19:15.000 ⇒ 00:19:16.510 Amber Lin: I see awesome.
139 00:19:18.400 ⇒ 00:19:18.880 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, also.
140 00:19:18.880 ⇒ 00:19:23.550 Amber Lin: Still not the most familiar with how these columns differ, but
141 00:19:23.550 ⇒ 00:19:26.029 Amber Lin: well, like risk, it’s it’s basically like.
142 00:19:26.270 ⇒ 00:19:31.250 Uttam Kumaran: This, a racy is basically like left to right, like ownerships. Right? So like.
143 00:19:32.160 ⇒ 00:19:33.080 Uttam Kumaran: For example.
144 00:19:33.280 ⇒ 00:19:42.750 Uttam Kumaran: it’s just like for, for for example, loop in Pm. And tech lead for a meeting. Sales should own that. But who is, but like the whoever’s responsible for it may not be like
145 00:19:42.910 ⇒ 00:19:47.619 Uttam Kumaran: accountable for actually like executing the thing. Sometimes they may be, sometimes they’re not
146 00:19:47.720 ⇒ 00:19:53.789 Uttam Kumaran: consulted, is like, Hey, can you just like double check? This, and informed is like, this is happening right like.
147 00:19:53.790 ⇒ 00:19:54.480 Amber Lin: Okay.
148 00:19:55.150 ⇒ 00:20:01.040 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s why I also wanna make sure like who we actually have now, because we sales and marketing the same thing. So I just wanna say, like
149 00:20:01.180 ⇒ 00:20:07.129 Uttam Kumaran: sales equals sales and marketing. Right? We have tech lead. And we have pm.
150 00:20:07.340 ⇒ 00:20:11.510 Uttam Kumaran: and we have like, let’s just say, let’s just say exact.
151 00:20:11.960 ⇒ 00:20:12.510 Amber Lin: Yeah.
152 00:20:12.690 ⇒ 00:20:14.400 Uttam Kumaran: This is all we have like we don’t have. We.
153 00:20:14.400 ⇒ 00:20:16.320 Amber Lin: Account, manager.
154 00:20:16.580 ⇒ 00:20:24.049 Uttam Kumaran: No like sales is account management marketing, and
155 00:20:24.850 ⇒ 00:20:28.000 Uttam Kumaran: this would be like account executive. Right? So in the
156 00:20:28.550 ⇒ 00:20:32.189 Uttam Kumaran: in the graph above, you see how there is a account owner
157 00:20:32.890 ⇒ 00:20:40.919 Uttam Kumaran: that is the same thing as like sales. So everyone who sells the deals becomes the account owner. Where there’s only 2 2 people selling. It’s just me and Robert. So.
158 00:20:42.810 ⇒ 00:20:46.670 Amber Lin: Hmm, great.
159 00:20:58.820 ⇒ 00:20:59.680 Amber Lin: okay.
160 00:21:03.680 ⇒ 00:21:04.630 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
161 00:21:05.748 ⇒ 00:21:11.130 Amber Lin: Why don’t we look at? Seems like this is pretty much what we we have.
162 00:21:11.600 ⇒ 00:21:14.409 Amber Lin: and decently, I think we can iterate as we go
163 00:21:14.540 ⇒ 00:21:21.490 Amber Lin: anything here that stood out to you, I added. I added them honest comments over here.
164 00:21:31.930 ⇒ 00:21:34.840 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I just think, like tough questions.
165 00:21:37.230 ⇒ 00:21:41.479 Uttam Kumaran: These are good questions. I mean, like, I guess I I like these questions.
166 00:21:42.690 ⇒ 00:21:43.950 Uttam Kumaran: These are all fair.
167 00:21:47.550 ⇒ 00:21:51.680 Uttam Kumaran: particularly, yeah. All 3 of these are really fair questions.
168 00:22:03.930 ⇒ 00:22:09.570 Uttam Kumaran: So like, for example, do we do have a we do have a, we do have a sales qualifying
169 00:22:10.745 ⇒ 00:22:13.240 Uttam Kumaran: framework of how we qualify deals.
170 00:22:13.400 ⇒ 00:22:16.440 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m gonna I’m gonna include that somewhere here.
171 00:22:17.146 ⇒ 00:22:22.479 Uttam Kumaran: So you guys can see that cause we do go through a list of questions on how we qualify deals.
172 00:22:25.300 ⇒ 00:22:25.910 Uttam Kumaran: So.
173 00:22:25.910 ⇒ 00:22:28.300 Amber Lin: I’ll just add you to add.
174 00:22:35.540 ⇒ 00:22:54.430 Amber Lin: sounds great sounds good. I mean, looking down here we have. I mean, this is essentially the Async handoff that you talked about. We can talk about when we want to insert that. And I mean, I think these. This is
175 00:22:54.610 ⇒ 00:23:04.590 Amber Lin: like a risk mitigation step. When the technically actually feels like there’s something that’s not not right. And this one is more of a meetings that
176 00:23:05.217 ⇒ 00:23:10.450 Amber Lin: the technically should be involved in here.
177 00:23:11.050 ⇒ 00:23:13.590 Uttam Kumaran: Well like, I think, are these like
178 00:23:13.590 ⇒ 00:23:16.479 Uttam Kumaran: what are? What is the difference between tough moments and the solutions like.
179 00:23:16.480 ⇒ 00:23:17.900 Amber Lin: And they can pay.
180 00:23:18.880 ⇒ 00:23:20.460 Uttam Kumaran: Can we combine these 2.
181 00:23:20.460 ⇒ 00:23:21.170 Amber Lin: Sure.
182 00:23:22.010 ⇒ 00:23:26.029 Amber Lin: Yeah, I mean, these are just like things we actions we can take.
183 00:23:26.360 ⇒ 00:23:27.390 Amber Lin: It will appear as I.
184 00:23:27.390 ⇒ 00:23:35.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would, Ra, I’d rather like com. I’d rather combine these. Sorry. This is me. I’d rather combine these as like problem, and like what our playbook is.
185 00:23:35.990 ⇒ 00:23:37.829 Amber Lin: Oh, lovely! I like that.
186 00:23:40.520 ⇒ 00:23:42.659 Uttam Kumaran: This is, these 2 are fine.
187 00:23:42.660 ⇒ 00:23:48.119 Amber Lin: Great. This is 20 min in Gpt before this meeting. I’m glad you have inputs.
188 00:23:49.020 ⇒ 00:23:52.229 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, I’m yeah. I’m gonna have inputs for sure.
189 00:23:53.590 ⇒ 00:23:56.660 Uttam Kumaran: So client demands overly aggressive deadlines.
190 00:23:57.510 ⇒ 00:23:59.860 Uttam Kumaran: Tl, drafts a risk. Memo.
191 00:24:03.720 ⇒ 00:24:05.200 Amber Lin: It’s gonna be.
192 00:24:28.290 ⇒ 00:24:28.920 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
193 00:24:29.680 ⇒ 00:24:36.230 Demilade Agboola: Is. Is it possible, red flag, that we don’t have enough resources to carry out a a task like.
194 00:24:36.900 ⇒ 00:24:43.650 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So right? So I guess let’s talk about that right now. I’m it’s probably exec that has the best view of
195 00:24:43.960 ⇒ 00:24:48.010 Uttam Kumaran: resourcing like at the moment we don’t like.
196 00:24:49.430 ⇒ 00:24:51.369 Uttam Kumaran: It’s yeah. So
197 00:24:51.590 ⇒ 00:24:56.199 Uttam Kumaran: you’re right in that. There has to be some step here, that is, do we have the resources?
198 00:24:57.600 ⇒ 00:25:05.300 Uttam Kumaran: The the only caveat, I will say is, we are going to always run slightly understaffed.
199 00:25:05.440 ⇒ 00:25:08.760 Uttam Kumaran: But I want everyone to just like acknowledge that.
200 00:25:09.090 ⇒ 00:25:14.920 Uttam Kumaran: And I’m I’m meaning slightly like it can’t be hell. But we’re not going to.
201 00:25:15.410 ⇒ 00:25:22.389 Uttam Kumaran: We’re certainly gonna buy towards like being understaffed for a little bit here
202 00:25:23.830 ⇒ 00:25:28.559 Uttam Kumaran: until we can afford to aim for like 80% utilization like we may aim for like
203 00:25:28.960 ⇒ 00:25:31.150 Uttam Kumaran: 90% or higher for now.
204 00:25:32.930 ⇒ 00:25:36.959 Uttam Kumaran: But this is something that we we will. We have to talk about at this point
205 00:25:37.490 ⇒ 00:25:42.370 Uttam Kumaran: is like, Do we have? Who’s gonna be staffed on here? And do they have capacity?
206 00:25:44.640 ⇒ 00:25:50.400 Uttam Kumaran: So let me put I’m gonna put something here which is just like, do we have the resources
207 00:25:57.800 ⇒ 00:25:58.560 Uttam Kumaran: cool.
208 00:26:18.430 ⇒ 00:26:22.410 Amber Lin: Okay, I feel good about this. How much time do you guys have left.
209 00:26:24.450 ⇒ 00:26:25.670 Uttam Kumaran: 4 min.
210 00:26:26.080 ⇒ 00:26:27.640 Demilade Agboola: I have a climate.
211 00:26:28.080 ⇒ 00:26:31.730 Amber Lin: Funny. Okay, let’s just put any comments in the
212 00:26:31.840 ⇒ 00:26:40.359 Amber Lin: in the next section. I think this will. This will have to be continued. But just drop any comments read over here, and then we’ll continue next time.
213 00:26:40.530 ⇒ 00:26:41.400 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay.
214 00:26:43.520 ⇒ 00:26:44.420 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

221 00:27:19.190 ⇒ 00:27:19.900 Uttam Kumaran: Do you have Block
