December 28: “We would like to change the way we work, but we don’t have time and resources to develop our people” Typically, some of the busy business leaders would make this statement, as they would be occupied with various activities that usually takes away a lot of time on a regular basis. If that’s the situation, how will we be able to address the people-related priorities that need our attention? Do we consider developing our own team as a strategic priority?

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn”. – Alvin Toffler

Businessmen, Experts, Technologists and Futurists have suggested that the next few decades will herald the fourth industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution will be certainly driven by digitization, information and communications technology, machine learning, robotics and artificial intelligence; and will shift a good part of decision-making mechanisms from humans to machines. The ability to strike the right balance between human intelligence and artificial intelligence will be key for any sustainable growth. Climate change, Pandemic, geopolitical situations, localisation vs Globalisation, ageing population, and disruptive technologies will alter our ways of working.

How do we build Sales capabilities in the current times? Are we heading towards a “Renaissance” period for reinventing sales and businesses?

Selling is probably as old as the history of any economic activity. It has some timeless challenges and opportunities for any business. Nothing dramatically new, nothing of some outstanding importance has been discovered in recent years when it comes to sales as a function. As a philosophy, most of what we know has been known for ages.

Will the ensuing societal changes have a profound impact on B2B Selling and B2C selling? All aspects of the customer acquisition process, Account retention, Key Account Management, Stakeholder Management, and the whole meaning of sales productivity will undergo a substantial change. Clearly, we have entered a new phase of performing sales. And this period will be far for inclusive than ever before. A new approach towards conducting our business will have its roots in timeless wisdom with enormous abilities to absorb the benefits emerging from an AI-driven economy. And this Sales renaissance emerges with the diversity of thoughts, discerning views, heterogenous work cultures, and constantly changing landscape of business.

Some questions –

• What do we refresh in our sales and business approach with all the sweeping changes happening around?
• What do we do to retain timeless wisdom despite all the disruptive changes happening around us?
• What will be the significant changes in the ways to lead people?
• What will be the changes in the ways to measure productivity and impact on the business?

Many more questions need constant reflection and openness to embrace changes. Sales renaissance emerges with the diversity of thoughts, discerning views, heterogenous work cultures and constantly changing landscape of business.

Are we inclusive enough to navigate through these changes? Let’s face the questions.

Molecular Hydrogen to be The Next-Gen Personal Wellness Tool for Preventive & Therapeutic Healthcare

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 28: udazH, India’s first portable molecular hydrogen generating machine, today announced well-known Indian Film actress and social worker, Bhagyashree as their brand ambassador. Bhagyashree will be the face of udazH’s 360-degree marketing and brand activities which will also include brand films.

Made available for personal use for consumers across the country, this Next-Gen Personal Wellness tool, designed with state-of-the-art features, will play a vital role for preventative & therapeutic healthcare. The speciality of the machine is its dual-use technology, where two persons can inhale at the same time.

“I’ve experienced a subtle uptick in my sense of well-being after using the machine. I’m not looking to resolve or heal any specific physical issues but optimise my overall health and cognition. Homeostasis is a great word to describe the sense of well-being from an hour’s session with the inhalator each day,” says Bhagyashree sharing her first-hand experience with udazH.

Molecular hydrogen is the latest buzzword in the booming wellness industry, and its potential as a preventative wellness tool is too big to ignore. It is a gas that is found in trace amounts in the air (0.00005%). It can act as an antioxidant and is thought to protect cells from oxidative stress-related damage. Hydrogen can be inhaled as a gas at low concentrations (1-3%).

Since the 2007 discovery that molecular hydrogen (H₂) has selective antioxidant properties, multiple studies have shown that H₂ has beneficial effects in diverse human diseases. Vast research in recent times indicates that being a smaller, lighter molecule along with its superb bioavailability property, Hydrogen molecule (H₂) is the only molecule that can penetrate into the sub-cellular level of the body and act as a powerful selective antioxidant. Regulated amounts of Hydrogen gas with a rapid diffusion rate penetrates cell membranes and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier to provide benefits at the sub-cellular level, where other antioxidants are incapable of reaching.

“Free radicals are what lead to oxidative stress in our mitochondria and can cause severe damage to both our DNA and our body’s fundamental proteins at the molecular level. Although it’s not the first substance to come to mind when most of us think ‘antioxidants’, molecular hydrogen is one of the most powerful antioxidants in existence. H₂ selectively neutralizes free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, boost our body’s innate antioxidant production and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Visible results like better skin tone, improvement in lungs activity, and a fresh lease of youthfulness in your body can be clearly observed by yourself after a month of inhalation, explains Dr. Babu Sudhakar, Chairman and Managing Director, Serene Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai.

Free radicals are unstable atoms formed inside mitochondria (tiny power plants) in each cell of our body. As mitochondria break down the food, you eat to generate energy, with the oxygen we breathe produce free radicals as waste. Out of the different free radicals generated, Hydroxyl Radicals are the most dangerous ones, and they can cause a lot of damage inside your cells and cause serious illness and ageing. The amount of free radicals formed inside the cells is directly influenced by the sedentary lifestyle and the polluted environment we live in. Keeping free radicals under control is the fundamental key to health, quality of life and longevity. The imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can cause cellular oxidative stress and lead to disorders/diseases. Oxidative stress is a marker for many modern diseases.

“Since hydrogen inhalation has such a primary effect on the body with its ability to reduce overall oxidative stress, it has a wide range of applications. Many times, I’ve found that, when a healing protocol has an effect on such a long list of conditions, people get skeptical. udazH is a simple portable molecular hydrogen generating machine, which ensures 99.99 per cent pure and stable hydrogen outflow with zero additives. The H₂ generated is scientifically proven to be safe and efficient for human consumption. This cost-effective and durable product is easy to handle and boasts an intelligent and simple monitoring and reminder display system, adds Dr. Babu Sudhakar.

By inhaling the molecular hydrogen generated in udazH, you can provide your cells antioxidant power to combat oxidative stress and support the body’s ability to maintain

homeostasis by neutralizing harmful free radicals and boosting the internal antioxidant system. Depending on your health needs and goals, the simple one hour ritual of taking a break with the inhaler might be an incredible investment in your health as also your family health. Regular inhalation of H₂ can help elder family members to age gracefully with lesser health problems and reduce dependency on the medication.

The core amazing health benefits of Hydrogen inhalation are as follows:

• Neutralize free radicals
• Balance antioxidant at cellular level
• Enhance better skin health and tone
• Improves allergies and asthma conditions.
• Revive vital organs performance
• Restore energy levels, less body fatigue, faster recovery
• Eases autoimmune disease affecting your joints or skin.
• Augment athletic performance, healthy weight management
• Rejuvenate overall cellular health
• Instill the sense of well-being in your body

Unlike therapeutic oxygen, which needs to be closely monitored and prescribed through a doctor, a hydrogen inhaler can be easily managed at home on your own, and the only requirement to operate udazH is purified distilled/deionized water. An overdose of hydrogen has never been reported. In fact, Hydrogen-infused water has been granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status by the FDA, which means that it is generally considered safe for human consumption.

New Delhi, December 27: BNBXMAS, a smart contract-based Dapp built on the Binance Smart Chain that allows users to invest in cryptocurrencies on Sunday, revealed that with deposits in BNBXMAS, users can expect to earn reliable daily returns ranging from 7.8 per cent to 17 per cent daily.

The smart contract allows users to start with as little as 0.01 BNB to get their profits up.

Launching this XMAS season, BNBXMAS has been built to get the most out of the Binance Smart Chain without investing excessive amounts of time and resources into it.

“The Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has experienced a surge in its blockchain activity, including token swaps, decentralised applications, non-financial tokens, and decentralised currency markets. One of the most beneficial aspects of the BSC is that it allows for cross-chain atomic exchanges while charging gas prices that are over 20 times cheaper than those charged by other chains,” the firm said in a statement.

Because of its Proof-of-stake Authority (PoSA), consensus may be used as a high-speed infrastructure, beneficial for DeFi applications. As a result, it is ideal for widespread adoption. Moreover, BEP-20 tokens provide borderless DeFi prospects because once a token is released on the Binance Smart Chain, it may be readily transferred between several blockchains. It also contributes to the simplification of interoperability across the whole ecosystem.

BNBXMAS is conscientious about the security of the smart contract. It has been confirmed to be completely secure, with no flaws, backdoors, or fraud scripts discovered, as reported by the audit report prepared by HazeCrypto.

With revolutionary growth experienced in similar offerings, BNBXMAS is positioned to become one of the most profitable yield farming Dapps on the BSC. The users can generate a return of 119 to 234 per cent on their money within the deposit period of 7 and 30 days.

Select the deposit period that a user wants to use for investment. Enter the amount of BNB to deposit, click ‘Invest.’

Following the deposit, one will be presented with a referral link to share with others. Forward this to your friends to get a percentage of the money they deposit in the smart contract.

BNBXMAS provides investors with a referral program that is divided into five categories. This makes up for 11.5 per cent in commission. A referral link is given to the user once they have invested in the smart contract. Users who spread the word about this link to their friends will get extra rewards on each deposit their referrals make.

Bengaluru, December 27: Array Networks today announced that it has secured the second position in the application delivery controller (ADC) market as per IDC Ethernet Switch Tracker for Q3 2021.

“We are extremely happy to have continuously maintained top 3 positions in the Indian ADC market in the recent years. The last quarter has seen significant growth as we were able to successfully close top projects in the government sector.
