  • Indian Furniture Rental Industry – Market Size, Growth & Scope

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 29: Do you remember the days when we used to rent a bicycle for a day with 10 RS? Or the time when we rent a room for studying in another city? Or when your mother decided to rent jewelry just because the one at home doesn’t match the dress?

    India holds millions of stories, but we believe, thousands of them are somehow related to rentals in one way or another.

    Like yesterday one of my relatives said she rented a bed just because her mother-in-law was visiting her. It just feels amazing to think of what sense of satisfaction she would have felt when nobody had to “adjust” for a guest and yet, giving them the utmost comfort.

    Furniture Rentals are the next big thing. As India is transitioning from Agriculture based sector to a Service-based sector and many young Indians are moving to cities as a young workforce, there is ever ongoing demand for Furniture that can be rented.

    The concept of renting furniture is not yet properly settled in the mind of the old generation as owing the basic thing like furniture is often thought as the best option. But millennials are practical, they know the hardships that come with owning furniture. It’s not just practical for them to own a 40-50k sofa set when they know they would be in another city in the next 2-3 years and transportation is not cheap!

    The concept of using rental furniture is new to tier 2 and tier 3 cities but it’s not entirely an alien concept as we saw the success of OLA and Uber in these cities. As per the reports, investors are really confident in these cities for the future of furniture rentals as we saw a rise in startup funding in this sector. As we saw in a recent PWC study, that the sharing economy in India is valued at $1.5bn with future projections of $10bn by 2030

    Today’s generation is more evolved and adapts to the modern lifestyle than its counterpart. With unique and individual preferences, this set of people are opting for modern furniture and flexible usage and hence makes for an important category to the retailers.

    Category

    Indian furniture rental market can be divided into further categories as per the needs of the customers. For example, the “Bed” category is the most popular one and gets too many customers with respect to other categories like Sofa, chair, tables, etc.

    This is quite obvious too, as any practical person would say that Bed is more of a necessity rather than luxury and the young working force would think of renting a Bed before anything else. Then there is kids’ furniture, which is said to be the next big thing in upcoming years.

    Another category that can be added is the time period. It has been observed that an ideal time period for renting furniture often comes around 1-2 years. This is the most preferred duration by youngsters for renting any furniture.

  • The Good Maharaja’, slated for a Christmas 17 December 2022 release

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 28: According to sources, saddled in a new avatar for his second outing, this rising star Dhruv Verma, already famous as ‘Indian James Bond’ worldwide for his intense action sequences in No Means No, has been signed for a whopping Rs. 12 Crore (Around 1.33 Million Euros) as his professional acting fees for a lead role in The Good Maharaja, a World War 2 Epic. Buzz is that the budding actors’ business manager had asked for around Rs. 20 crores (Around 2 Million Euros); but later in negotiations, Dhruv reduced his fee to in light of the economic slow down due to the Pandemic of Covid-19 to around Rs. 12 Crores (Around 1.33 Million Euros). And has even pledged a large chunk of his fees already to be donated for the betterment of  Covid care facilities and Old age homes. Dhruv said on this topic “This is a severe reality and the health of my fellow countrymen is more important than money” and pledges to donate a portion from all his film earnings.

    Titled as ‘The Good Maharaja’, slated for a Christmas 2022 release, the film revolves around World War II and is also the second Indo-Polish co-production venture based on a true story which is neither untold nor glorified’ is also about the lion-hearted Indian Maharaja of Nawanagar (now known as Jamnagar in Gujarat) Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja (nicknamed as Jam Saheb) who during this war came as a fatherly figure for around 1000 Polish children and sheltered them from the squalid orphanage.

    Shedding more light about the film, for which shooting and principal photography has already begun, the elated actor, Dhruv says, “I am thankful and overwhelmed that the producers and directors have reposed their faith on my shoulders once again. The role is different from my debut film.”  Reportedly Dhruv has read the script many times during the holidays in his ancestral home situated at Hyde Park in London, where he often does his script readings.  When the Second World War began in September 1939, Poland was invaded by the Germans and then by the Russians. This is one of the timelines of the film” Keeping his role under wraps, the budding actor adds, “I know the graph of this character and have to submit to my director’s vision. I will start taking add-on training with the guns used in WWII: like M1 Carbine and Enfield M1917 rifles; Springfield M1903 with edged bayonets; Colt pistols; Browning M1917A1 heavy machine guns; Thompson M1A1 submachine guns; amongst many others under the guidance of my mentor-guru, Hollywood’s famous star Steven Segal in Russia.”

    Rumour has it that the producers of the film have also restricted Dhruv from signing or working on any other film during the period till The Good Maharaja is complete.

    Dhruv’s Business Manager who did not wish to be named highlights, “The Indian Maharaja has drawn bilateral ties with Poland. One of the children has even become the Prime Minister of Poland. This collaboration reminds me of the veteran filmmaker and actor Raj Kapoor’s love for Russia beginning his association with his film Mera Naam Joker and herewith our illustrious Vikash Verma’s bonding with Poland.”

    Director Vikash Verma the chairman of G7 Securitas Group and G7 Films, says, “Cinema shapes our society and highlights the culture too.” Vikash Verma spoke about many controversies that arose regarding the film, The Good Maharaja, but he will take the blessings of Maharaja Digvijaysaheb’s family.

Sanjay Dutt plays a titular role in it. According to Sources, Roman Polanski, renowned Polish film director, and Oscar-winner for The Pianist will be approached to direct this film. He is now 87-years-old and his experiences as a witness to the Holocaust will be an added layer of realism to this film. “We will shoot this movie from start to finish once this pandemic crisis simmers down and after everyone is vaccinated, soon after we release first venture of our co-production No Means No in November.

  • Detailed Guide to Two-Wheeler Insurance Renewal

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [[India], April 28: The bike insurance is a legal document between you, the policyholder, and an insurance company. In these insurance policies, the insurance company will provide you with financial assistance in the event of accidental damage, theft, and any losses incurred by the bike through human-made or natural calamities. As per the law, it is a legal compulsion for every bike driven on the road to hold a valid insurance policy.

    If you’re a policyholder, you will be at ease knowing that your vehicle is protected from any danger of damage or loss. However, if you wish to reap the benefits of a bike insurance policy, you must get them renewed on time. Vehicle insurance companies like Tata AIG offer seamless online bike insurance renewal processes. However, you can also opt for offline methods of renewal.

    Let us understand the two-wheeler insurance renewal in detail here.

    The two methods of renewing bike insurance policy are:

    Offline process:

    In the offline bike insurance renewal process, you will need to contact an agent or visit your insurer’s office branch to renew your bike insurance policy. This process generally involves filling out some forms and submitting documents. You will have to fill in your vehicle and policy details in the application form.

    The insurance company will hand over the renewed policy if you pay the premium by cash, debit card, or DD. If you have made the payment through a cheque, the policy will be emailed to you once the cheque clears. Though the offline process can be quite time-consuming, some people who are still not comfortable with technology choose to go for it.

    Online process:

    To get the bike insurance policy renewal done online, you must first go through your existing policy and its coverage to analyze whether you wish to continue with the same cover and insurer. If you want to continue with your existing plan, you must visit your insurer’s website and follow the steps to renew the policy and make the payment. However, if you wish to switch to a different policy or move to a new insurance company, you should put in some effort to research other companies and their offerings and find the policy that suits your requirement.

    The steps involved for renewal of two-wheeler insurance includes:

    1. Visit your insurer’s website and go to the bike insurance renewal form.
    2. Enter your two-wheeler registration number and other important information needed.
    3. You can continue with the same insurance policy and customizations or choose to make changes to it.
    4. Update the IDV. You can update the IDV depending on your requirement. It is advised that your IDV must be 10% less than the previous year’s policy.
    5. Pick the riders/add-ons based on your requirement.
    6. After finishing the steps, you will get the premium amount that you have to pay.
    7. If you have not filed a claim in the previous policy year/s, do not forget to check if the correct NCB discount is applied to your renewal premium.
    8. Check the final amount and other details and make the payment.
    9. Once you have made the payment, your bike insurance policy renewal is done.

    Once you have carried out these steps diligently, your insurance company will send you the renewal documents through email. You can download the policy document and get a printout of the document. You can show this document to traffic police if the need ever arises.

    Five things to know before your bike insurance renewal:

    1. Opt for the NCB (No-Claim Bonus):

    If you haven’t filed a bike insurance claim during the current policy year, you can opt for the No Claim Bonus benefit during insurance renewal. You will get a discount on the insurance premium based on the number of years you haven’t filed a claim. If you don’t file a claim for five consecutive years, you can avail a discount of up to 50%.

    1. Look for mistakes in information:

    You must check your information policy for any discrepancies before filing for renewal. Any minor mistake reflected in your insurance policy can affect your insurance claim settlement. Therefore, you must go through your policy document carefully and provide the required documents.

    1. Renew before your plan expires:

    It is optimal to consider getting the policy renewal almost 15 days before the expiry date. It would help if you didn’t wait for the plan to lapse. If your policy lapses, you may lose out on the advantages like NCB and face a penalty.

    1. Grace period:

    If you have missed the renewal date on your policy, you must not worry. Most insurance companies offer a grace period of 15-45 days based on the policy type. If you renew your insurance policy within the grace period, you can still benefit from the NCB (No-Claim Bonus). Therefore, if you haven’t made the premium payment before the plan expires, you still have the grace period to get the renewal done successfully.

    1. Go over insurance plan:

    The renewal period for your insurance plan is the best time to evaluate your bike insurance cover requirements. When you reach your policy term’s end, you understand how much coverage you actually need. Therefore, you can adjust your bike insurance policy accordingly.

    In conclusion

    If you’re a bike insurance policyholder, you must ensure to get the policy renewed on time. Since it is illegal to be found riding a bike without a two-wheeler insurance policy even for a day, individuals opt for the two-wheeler insurance online renewal, as it is quicker than the offline process.

  • This EdTech startup wants to bridge the gap between classroom learning & industry – “Your Learning Platform” (YLP)

    Hardik Dave and Rashi Joshi, founders of “Your Learning Platform” (YLP), talk about how students can learn Practical and Essential Skill Courses besides preparing for academic/degree courses and Entrance exams Coaching while learning online by YLP.

     New Delhi [India], April 28 : EdTech, which was clocking a healthy double-digit, year-on-year development before Covid-19, suddenly got a gigantic lift with the inflow of investments, procurement, up-gradation in offerings, and more players quickly shifting and adding studies because of one of the lowest Internet data charges. To rapidly address the need of this hour, startups like YLP came to enlightened students.

    Started in 2020, YLP provides Practical and essential Skill Courses as well as coaching for Degree Courses and Entrance Exams Coaching. The Practical Skill courses include courses for Accounting and Tax Professionals, Finance Professionals, Graphic Designing, Video Editing, Digital Marketing, Animation, Web Development, Coding, and other such job-oriented courses. Whereas Essential Skill courses include courses on Computer Training, Spoken English, Corporate and Inter-Personal Skills and such other skill courses that are relevant for all students irrespective of which industry they wish to join.

    The unique advantage of the courses provided by YLP is that all these courses all taught by Faculties with relevant industry experience are self-paced interactive courses and available for a very affordable price. The e-learning platform provides a course-specific chat forum where all the students enrolled for any course can interact, ask queries to Faculty or other students, and resolve doubts. YLP also organizes live lectures for doubt solving.

    “We always wanted to offer our courses at a very affordable price so that all students irrespective of their financial background can ensure their skill development.” Say Hardik and Rashi, when asked about why they decided to offer such premium courses at very nominal costs.

    The COVID-19 pandemic accelerates the growth of India’s EdTech area and the National Education Policy is required to give it a further fillip.

    The EdTech players are offering an entire host of Apps for all age-gatherings of students. The more students and teachers adapt to the ‘new normal’ (online classes), the better it is for those dealing with the EdTech organizations.

    “We are building a platform that can comprehensively groom a student for the practical world and help them get good placements. We are also tying up with good companies who are willing to hire our trained students. Such well-groomed students would help the corporates to reduce their corporate training budget which they otherwise need to burn to bridge the skill deficit of the students graduating out from colleges but not able to match the skill requirements of such Corporates.” says Hardik and Rashi.

    Besides such Practical and Essential Skill Courses, YLP would also be offering courses for entrance/ competitive exams such as CAT, CET, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, CA/ CS Foundation, public service exams at both National and state levels.

    Students who are preparing for entrance exams regularly need to shuffle internships and studies parallels. It is a rare occurrence of classroom timing with their plan for getting work done. On-demand training turns the table in support of students empowering them to get to courses and study material anytime. Study materials, textbooks, and hardcopies have gotten old-fashioned. The new age of students is ‘visual’ courses more than they are finding out about it. Video courses are rich with lectures, video – audio illustrations, and intelligent components that make getting the hang of fascinating and charming. The visual method of learning also reinforces the comprehension of ideas.

    Talking about the entrepreneurial journey, they both have excelled in their educational and career field. Being an Entrepreneur, Rashi Joshi has won the Young Indian achievers award’ 2020-2021. Hardik Dave by profession is CA, CS, B. Com, Startup Consultant, Worked with E&Y and Baker Tilly International. He is also having a Teaching experience of 5+years.

    Although 63% expected established, certified universities to offer full degrees online by 2030, just 24 percent believed that the online versions would be better known than traditional regular university-based degrees.

    Faculties, training institutes have incredible education experience, and this is the thing that will unleash the force of EdTech. Our main goal is to empower a great many remarkable faculties in India to take their classes online by utilizing YLP as their tech backbone.
