An interview of Mr. Patil ( M.A. LLB), CEO and Chief Editor of Diksoochi Magazine was taken by Mr. Pradeep Satpute.

Question : First of all, please tell our readers about 'Diksoochi'.

Answer : Diksoochi is a Kannada Magazine, started in 1992 to provide the subject material for Competitive Aspirants, Intellectuals, and Students. Started with a humble circulation, it soon became the market leader in its segment, General Knowledge and Current Affairs Journal in Kannada, in a couple of years. Since then it has been retaining the position as market leader till date. One can find Diksoochi copy in the hand of a reader even in a remote village in Karnataka. With the success of Diksoochi and feedback from readers, the Diksoochi group released Jeevanadi (means Life Pulse in English) a health magazine. Today a panel of 32 doctors from various specialities checks every article in Jeevanadi before it is published. The Diksoochi group started Silicon City magazine in November 2000 to give comprehensive details and tutorials in the field of Information Technology to the people of Karnataka in their mother tongue. This is the first ever magazine with CD in any vernacular language in India. The launch of the magazine was covered by BBC Television.

Bioinformatics was the first English magazine from the company and the first magazine on biotechnology in India. Aim of the magazine is to serve the people inside and outside the industry. To serve these two categories, we have been working for the last five and half years. The final product of our efforts is the magazine. We participated in many biotechnology exhibitions of the world and collected first hand data right from the leaders of the industry. 
Apart from magazine publishing, company has published 75 academic books in science and technology. Also it expanded its activities in the area of Printing and Prepress. 
Diksoochi (Digital Media) Pvt Ltd is a private limited company formed in the year 2000.  Actually, the business operations were being carried out as a proprietary concern from the year 1992. 

Business activities of the company

The following are the business activities of the company:

i. Publishing Periodicals and Books

At present company is publishing the monthly magazines in Kannada and one magazine in English. Diksoochi is the first magazine of the firm. It has completed 22 years of existence and has been market leader in its segment. Jeevanadi (Health) and Silicon City (IT) are the other two Kannada magazines. Bioinformatics (Biotechnology) is the first English magazine from the company and it is also the first magazine on biotechnology in the country.

Academic Training Centres in Karnataka

The firm is already having in-depth experience in the area of coaching. Presently training centres are earning popularity at all levels and becoming an excellent market, especially in regional Languages. So, company has planned to have nearly 39 training centres across Karnataka.

Question: Could you please tell history of your magazine and what has motivated you to start this Magazine?

Answer:I came a long way from a small village Hanagi in Raichur District to Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. I have carried along with me, my childhood dreams to start a magazine with information about competitive examinations. I gave concrete shape to my dreams when I attempted the Public Service Commission Examinations. Finally I made it a reality from Bangalore in July 1992. Thus formed “Diksoochi”, leader in this segment from then till date. A writer was born in me when I wrote and acted a play called “Nara Nagaru” in my college days. By the time I completed my MA and LLB, the writer in me took prominence and I wrote to serve the specific needs. I developed Diksoochi into a full-fledged information store for anybody preparing for finder or competitive exams.

Question : What is the meaning of word Diksoochi? Our readers from other states will like to know about it

Answer: Diksoochi is a Sanskrit word. It means Disha Soochi in Hindi, Magnet Compass in English, which shows direction, we are using it as a path finder for our aspirants.

Question : What are your future plans?

Answer: Briefly I can say this : 

  1. Visual versions of my publications with online and offline support.
  2. Plan to start initially 4 to 5 Pre university colleges across Karnataka with in-depth Visual presentations. So we tied up with some foreign companies in this regard.
  3. Diksoochi training for Industrial Service for Rural Students

We dedicated ourselves in search of rural talents and to improve their knowledge etc...

Question: You are one of the very old and prominent users of Shree-Lipi. How do you find Support received from the Company?

Answer: Really Shree-Lipi is a very good Software in the regional industry of India. Supports and services are excellent. I am using Shree-Lipi for the last 20 years. As per my concern, I am a Mac user. Modular Infotech is having very extensive support for Windows platform compared to Mac.

Question : Could you please tell what are the features of Shree-Lipi you liked most and why?

Main reason is it's compatible for both Mac and Windows Platforms. Secondly, your upgradation towards latest softwares. 

Third is availability of request supports. Always customer like me, are interested in latest development in the industry. It will be fulfilled with Shree-Lipi updates.

Some expectations from Shreelipi

  1. Shree-Lipi Kannada fonts have to be smarter. Out of the 300 fonts, I suggest to release 16 essential fonts made smarter with the assistance of Kannada Artists.
  2. Increasing Mac Facility like Windows. Example:  Conversion utility. Fonts modification as per customer demand, Spell check, etc.
  3. Unicode fonts for Mac, iPhone and iPad with other Notepads and smart phones.

When trying to convert other Tamil font layouta (such as bamini, anu fonts, TSC, etc) through the option Tools - Convert - Exchange Utility into Shree lipi 7.3 fonts, everything including english fonts also gets converted as Shree-Lipi Tamil fonts.

This is to inform you that first you need to send the PENCD lock to our Companys postal address for reset purpose. You will get the updates of the PENCD lock. Also you will get the latest updated Shree Lipi DVD. When you receive the PENCD lock back to you then you need to install Shree Lipi once again. After installation you can do the conversion for (bamini, anu fonts, TSC, etc) layouts using RTF option from Exchange Utility. (We will explain the exchange utility procedure in details). So once again we request you to send the PENCD lock for reset purpose.

While Typing in Ms-Excel 97, 2000, XP characters get changed automatically, Why?

1. For Ms-Excel 97, 2000, XP disable all the Autocorrect option from Tools Menu of Ms-Excel.

Application tips and tricks

2) If arrow keys are not working in MS Excel while Shree-Lipi is active, what should be changed?

Since Scroll-Lock button is used in Excel to move cell from upside or downside of the cell, if Scroll-Lock is the activation key and is currently ON then arrow keys will not work in Ms Excel. The solution to this problem is changing the activation key. Use Caps-Lock as the activation key.
