New Delhi, [India]: Petonic Infotech, a pioneering management consulting firm, has today announced half a million-dollar investment in Prometheus e-Waste Recycling, a Delhi-based start-up company that offers comprehensive recycling services to get rid of electronic wastes.

With this investment, Petonic Infotech aims to help Prometheus e-Waste promotes sustainable e-waste management across India. Furthermore, the funding will help Prometheus e-Waste bring a safe, hassle-free, and results-driven solution to tackle India’s e-waste problem.

Electronic waste or e-waste comprises several hazardous elements such as arsenic, nickel, barium, mercury, beryllium, cadmium, and selenium, among others. The exposure to harmful chemicals caused by the uncontrolled dumping of discarded electronic or electrical devices can prove lethal if not recycled properly.

The United Nation’s Global E-waste Monitor 2020 states that India is the third-largest electronic waste generator in the world after China and the USA. Additionally, according to renowned research agencies, India generates approx. two million tons of e-waste per year. What’s more, the figure is likely to multiply at a rate of 30-50% year-on-year. The mounting e-waste issue in India necessitates a stronger focus on e-waste recycling and better management of e-waste.

Therefore, to facilitate an effective e-waste management system in the country and minimize India’s e-waste, Petonic Infotech has joined hands with Prometheus e-Waste to deal with the country’s e-waste management issue and increase awareness of e-waste recycling.

Prometheus e-Waste is an e-waste recycler and metal extraction company which will be soon registered with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), under the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. Since its inception, Prometheus e-Waste has been helping in treating e-trash, thus, making positive contributions to the environment. The company has its own technologies for extracting and recovering reusable resources from electronic trash. What’s more, the company also segregates electronic waste from different commercial entities which are later repaired and refurbished.

Speaking on the investment, Mr. Yashraj Bhardwaj, the Co-founder of Petonic Infotech said, “e-Waste represents an enormous ecological hazard. Since India is on the global list of the highest e-trash generators, it is high time we, as responsible citizens, made conscious and colossal efforts in recycling e-waste to extract toxic metals that hold threats for humans as well as the environment.”

He further said, “The proceeds of the financing will be used to address the e-waste problem in India and promote cleaner practices of e-waste recycling throughout the length and breadth of the country. We are confident that this investment will go a long way in reinforcing Prometheus’ e-waste management efforts”.

Living in harmony with nature in tandem with Ayurvedic guidelines enhances synergy between my mind and body: Says Milind

Delhi, [India] : The synergy between mind and body ensures fitness, agility, vitality and longevity – are tempting words that everyone wished described their lives. However, most people hardly ever adopt the pre-requisites to accomplish their yearnings. But there are some who build the right habits that help them realise their yearnings of holistic health and wellness.

Arguably, one of the fittest model-actors from the Indian film circuit  is ageing like a fine wine – Milind Soman, who is symbolic to ‘Mind-Body Fitness’ and ‘Vitality’ is all set to associate with Maharishi Ayurveda being fascinated by the virtues of its product Maharishi Amrit Kalash.

Revealing the secrets of his charismatic fitness of mind and body even at the age of 55, Milind Soman says, “Despite living in harmony with nature, eating right and exercising right, if we are not feeling right and we miss a natural source of nourishment to maintain synergy between mind and body – Maharishi Amrit Kalash – the super Rasayana – can naturally help to harness the power of body and mind.

This super Rasayana was created by using 53 highly effective Ayurvedic ingredients, combining various powerful Rasayanas. It has more than 75 research papers published in peer review journals and in globally reputed universities and institutions.

Adding further, he says, “This unique formulation is said to strengthen every vital organ to restore the inner balance of the body and mind. As a result, the body is at its strongest from the inside whenever it is challenged from the outside. The super Rasayana – Maharishi Amrit Kalash helps maintain the synergy between mind and body.

If this synergy is maintained, one can prolong youthfulness, prevent premature ageing, improve organ functioning, enhance mental alertness, broaden comprehension abilities and build resistance towards disease. Then nothing will stop us from being more than we think we can be.”

“The ‘Ironman’ of India and ‘Unstoppable’ – Milind Soman, who has recently turned 55 looks as agile as a 30-year-old youth. From being India’s first supermodel to a fine actor to a marathon runner, Milind Soman is the epitome of fitness. His fitness speaks volumes as he is a true believer of ‘Mind-Body Synergy’. While running is his forever love, yoga is something that he does for peace of mind. He also believes in natural sources of nourishment to maintain synergy between mind and body – that’s why he is fascinated with the virtues of Maharishi Amrit Kalash – this is a herbal masterpiece known to strengthen every vital organ. We are happy that the virtues of Maharishi Amrit Kalash fascinate him, and hope that he will inspire millions of people to stay fit by following the principle of natural living in tandem with the use of the super Rasayana. His association with Maharishi Ayurveda will help people realise the significance of Ayurvedic herbs, Rasayanas and the natural living in staying fit,” says Mr Ram Shrivastava, Director -Marketing, Maharishi Ayurveda.

Milind believes that Maharishi Amrit Kalash is a key to enhance healthy living. It has a protection guarantee as a natural product. This is made up of natural plants, herbs and minerals. Everyone wants vitality and longevity, which is accompanied by natural living and the natural environment. And a regular serving of Amrit Kalash provides all these in one-go and just helps one bring out the best from one’s diet and exercise so that one gets naturally fit.

New Delhi, [India] : HR consulting and business advisory firm QSS global, led by an army spouse which infuses in its DNA, values and guiding principles like integrity and maintaining the highest ethical standards with the clients has been chosen by NITI Aayog for the prestigious UN investor consortium. The UN investor consortium is a joint initiative of the ‘Women Entrepreneurial Platform of NITI Aayog and UN India business forum.

The primary objective of this consortium is to create equal opportunities for women entrepreneurs with reference to fund raising which fosters financial inclusion and economic empowerment of women.

In 2019 only 6.5% of raised capital for startups went to women led ideas, there is a huge gap. There are socio-cultural barriers and unconscious bias when it comes to fundraising and networking by women entrepreneurs. I feel delighted to be a part of ‘United Nations Investor Consortium’ which is aimed at bridging this gap. Women are breaking the glass ceiling and emerging as strong entrepreneurs and United Nations Consortium for women entrepreneurs will act as a catalyst in the entire process”.

QSS Global also initiated the innovative ‘Mentorship Program by corporate CEO’s for Military Talent’. This initiative will span 3 to 6 months with Industry leaders. Military talent will work with Industry leaders to align themselves to a prevalent gap in work culture in top corporate.

The above program is unique as it will provide Corporate CEOs the opportunity to contribute to a much larger cause of empowering and enabling high caliber military personnel and give them a chance of getting absorbed in the mainstream professional set up. This is expected to create a win-win set of talent pool for both sides.

And that is why the Youth Wing of the Chamber has invited not the first but the second generation to the event who have the skills to expand the empire that the first generation raised through their outstanding talent.
