  • Vipin Yadav bestowed with the Trendsetter 2022 award by Hon. Governor of Maharashtra

    Vipin Yadav bestowed with the Trendsetter 2022 award by Hon. Governor of Maharashtra

    March 7: “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier. This famous quote holds true for Vipin Yadav, the Managing Director of Star Link Communication Pvt. Ltd., a leading biometric solution provider and manufacturer. His vision and relentless pursuit to create next-gen technology solutions to help enterprises deliver supreme business value has helped him achieve the Trendsetter Award 2022. He was felicitated by the Honorable Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, in the ceremony which took place at Raj Bhawan on 24th February, 2022.

    Star Link has been empowering its clients across industries with best-in-class technology solution for over 25 years now. Their premium products and services have led to a strong relationship with their clients across the country. Till date they have successfully served 8000+ clients including brands like Maruti, Haldirams, and Yamaha.

    The foundation for their successful business lies at the passion Vipin has for electronics. As a 13-year-old he had started to experiment with wires and created machines like audio amplifier, ham radio among many others. All this was done in an age when internet was not at disposal and DIY videos did not exist; he used his knowledge from books, magazines, and friends who shared the same interest. He knew his calling was engineering and had set his focus on becoming an engineer who would create disruptive machines that would help enterprises run efficiently. However, his dream saw a halt when he was unable to clear the engineering entrance exam and had to pursue B.Ss. But as the famous saying goes,” Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn”, and it did. Three years after completing his graduation he was able to secure a seat in a private engineering college to follow his passion.

    It is his passion and faith that helped him complete his engineering dream and secure a job at a Delhi based PCO company at their R&D department. While working here he was able to gain market understating and customer pain points which led him to take the plunge and start his own venture in 1996. He put all his life savings into the business and Star Link was born in his 2BHK. He continued operating from his home with two other family members and within a few months were creating 1500-2000 pieces of a revolutionary machine which helped a common man with a landline connection make a STD call, thus eliminating the need to visit a PCO shop. They were the first ones in India to create this unique solution and were recognized by the Department of Telecom in the year 1998 for the same.

    Since its inception, Vipin has been growing Star Link with futuristic solutions. He works on the principle that the customer is not looking for a product but a holistic solution that can solve a business issue and help drive value. This lies at the core of all the products they create and wish to create in the future. Today, they are also supporting the Made in India dream as all their high-tech solutions are designed, developed, and manufactured in India.

    Vipin is indeed a great inspiration for all the bussing entrepreneurs out there. His story exemplifies that once you set your mind on a mission you can achieve the same with your hard work, passion, and faith. Being unable to clear engineering entrance exam did not stop him from believing in himself and his mission. Had he hung his boots back then, Star Link would not have been celebrating their silver jubilee this year.

  • National Sportswoman Selected For Climate-Force Antarctica Expedition

    National Sportswoman Selected For Climate-Force Antarctica Expedition

    New Delhi (India), March 7: Aarushie Verma, a national level shooter in Pistol & trap shooting, a multi-time State & Northern India Champion & National medalist, and an active environmentalist, has been selected to represent India at the 2041 Climate Force Antarctica Expedition to be held in March 2022.

    The expedition aims to raise awareness & work for the preservation of Antarctica through the promotion of recycling, renewable energy and sustainability solutions to combat the effects of climate change. 2041 Climate Force is a global initiative to train & develop the next generation of sustainability champions and to help corporations with their sustainability solutions.

    Selected from among thousands of applicants from around the world, the participants of the expedition will comprise of scientists, sustainability leaders and practitioners from different regions of the world, who will journey to the south pole on the most dynamic Antarctic sea expedition, a unique 12 day educational journey by ship to the ‘last great wilderness on earth’.

    The ‘carbon negative’ expedition aims to inspire, develop and train the next generation of leaders to promote a more sustainable future. The expedition includes the renowned ‘Leadership on the edge’ program which is a unique blend of leadership development, up-to-date climate change training, and sustainability education.

    Antarctica is truly the perfect setting for this expedition. Antarctica has never known war, belongs to no nation, and is home to no tribe or indigenous race – we are all responsible for Antarctica. The key to this mission is to promote the use of renewable energy across the globe. If we can do this effectively, then it will not make financial sense for the world to exploit this continent. Antarctica is a symbol, frozen in time, which represents our united responsibility to steer humanity towards a more hopeful future.

    The Climate Force initiative is also a 7-year commitment to clean up 360 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere through strategic offsetting partnerships. ‘2041 Climate Force’ is derived from the original year in which the Madrid Protocol protecting Antarctica from exploitation would come up for debate, revision, and/ or possible cancellation.

    The core 50-year mission of 2041 Climate Force, which grows ever more critical by the year, is to help preserve Antarctica by engaging businesses and communities on climate science, personal leadership, renewable technologies, and the promotion of measurable action plans surrounding sustainable development.

    This Expedition is an opportunity for participants to connect with and learn from the

    natural environments most affected by climate change, and to realize the urgent need for real-world solutions to address these issues. There is no better teacher than the immediacy of “being there”.

    In this initiative, Aarushie will be fully supported & sponsored by The Hans Foundation, a public charitable trust that works towards creating an equitable society and work primarily for health, education, Livelihood & disaster relief interventions in rural & underdeveloped areas in the country. The Hans foundation firmly believes in the importance of women empowerment in the country & promotes women leaders in all its initiatives and believes that disaster prevention requires ecological balance and an attitude of stewardship towards the environment. “The Hans Foundation, Mr. Manoj Bhargava & Ms. Shweta Rawat are the major supporting pillars for my journey to Antarctica” says Aarushie.

    Along with being a national level shooter and a post graduate in environment science & interior design, Aarushie has been actively working and volunteering with NGOs like Center for Science & environment & Chintan. In 2017, She had conducted a soap recycling project, where she collected used soap bars from hotels and sanitized & recycled them into new bars and distributed them to kids at Anganwadis along with educating them about the importance of hand hygiene.

    The participants of the expedition will graduate as ‘Ambassadors for the Antarctic’ charged with making a stand in the fight against anthropogenic climate change reinforced by the personal & professional network developed during & after the expedition. Post expedition, Aarushie plans to focus on eco friendly interior design solutions and to promote recycling & use of renewable energy & sustainable materials through her work and become a strong pillar for 2041 Climate Force Team.

  • Equal Hue project offers leg up for aspiring female cricketers

    Equal Hue project offers leg up for aspiring female cricketers

    Equal Hue Cricket is a pioneering research-backed and community-led initiative that charts a pathway for girls in cricket

    March 7: The #EqualHue initiative has launched a first-of-its-kind outreach and excellence programme, comprising youth tournaments, financial assistance and technical opportunities, to support girls and women in India who aspire to play cricket.

    The Equal Hue project, a movement focussing on gender equity in sport, was founded in 2020 by former India cricketer Snehal Pradhan, author Karunya Keshav and The Sports Law and Policy Centre.

    Equal Hue Cricket, conceived under the Equal Hue project, is a collaborative effort involving the #EqualHue team, GoSports Foundation and Meraki Sport & Entertainment. It is a pioneering initiative aimed at creating pathways for aspiring female cricketers from across the country, enabling them to start, stay in and succeed in the sport, while leaving a tangible impact on our country’s socio-economic fabric.

    To coincide with Women’s Day 2022, the initiative has launched a tri-pronged programme to:

    • engage girls through Under-16 tournaments in 12 cities,
    • enable those aged 16-23 with scholarships to continue in cricket by offering need-based financial assistance and career support, and
    • enhance excellence through an elite development programme.

    Speaking on occasion of the launch, Snehal Pradhan, programme director, said: “We at the Equal Hue project have always wanted to make a difference on the ground for women’s cricket. But first we needed to document ground realities, which we did with the Equal Hue report. Now, having identified the areas to focus on, we move into the action phase with Equal Hue Cricket.

    “With an ICC Women’s Under-19 World Cup on the horizon, the under-16 age group must be a special focus. And having almost quit cricket before getting a Railways job, I know how important it is to support players financially and expand pathways for progression. We look forward to developing these with the help of GoSports Foundation.”

    Managed and marketed by Meraki Sport & Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., Equal Hue Cricket is anchored on the premise of developing women’s cricket from the grassroots to elite development, and will focus on providing girls and women with exposure and opportunities, to play competitive cricket, enhance their skills, and progress to professional opportunities in the sport. The platform aims to actively engage over 30,000 aspiring female cricketers, through multiple touchpoints viz. academies, schools, housing societies, camps with IPL team(s) and beyond.

    Namrata Parekh, co-founder and director, Meraki Sport & Entertainment, said: “Women’s cricket is certainly India’s second-biggest sport and our mission is to harness its popularity, to further the cause of women empowerment, by amplifying stories of excellence. The construct of the programme, allows for organisations, institutions and brands, to author this change and own the narrative of enhancing the women’s cricket ecosystem in our country, furthering their position as socially responsible leaders, while simultaneously enabling them to create equity within emerging India – driving both brand objectives and sentiment victories.”

    Deepthi Bopaiah, CEO GoSports Foundation, who will manage the scholarship programme, said: “Over the past 13 years, we at the Foundation have been a part of the journeys of several Olympic and Paralympic athletes and medallists. We’re now very excited to be a part of and launch the Equal Hue Cricket Excellence Programme and work towards achieving the Sustainable Developmental Goals of the UN through the programme. Cricket truly has its presence felt in India all over, and will be exciting to see the sport becoming a vehicle for social, cultural and economic progress within the ecosystem and beyond.”

    At the top of the programme pyramid, the professional excellence programme will focus on enhancing the women’s cricket ecosystem through specialised camps and clinics where technical assistance and career support and post-career planning and preparation are provided to programme beneficiaries.

    Added Pradhan: “We invite organisations who have aligned goals, of making a difference for the women of our society through the power of cricket and sport, to partner with us on these initiatives.”

    About #EqualHue:

    The #EqualHue project aims to chart the way forward for women’s sport in India.

    It is built on the Equal Hue cricket survey and report authored by Snehal Pradhan, former India pacer turned cricket commentator and YouTuber; Karunya Keshav, journalist and co-author of The Fire Burns Blue on the history of women’s cricket in India; and the late Sidhanta Patnaik, co-author of The Fire Burns Blue, and commissioned by The Sports Law and Policy Centre.

    The report analyses the current situation, identifies areas of work and offers suggestions on improving excellence in Indian women’s cricket. It aims to make cricket the sport of choice for girls and women in the country and set players up for personal empowerment. It has also resulted in a guidebook for girls and their parents and an audio story to inspire and entertain young children.

    The campaign aims to be a collaborative effort and has engaged with stakeholders via roundtables and symposiums.

  • Greenman Viral Desai celebrates World Life Day at Sarthana Nature Park

    Greenman Viral Desai celebrates World Life Day at Sarthana Nature Park

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 4: Renowned environmentalist and businessman Greenman Viral Desai celebrated World Wildlife Day by planting trees at Sarthana Nature Park. He planted more than 450 trees as part of his ‘Hearts at Work Foundation’ celebration. In the future too they are planning to plant about a thousand trees there.

    On this occasion, he said, “There are about 8400 different species of endangered animals in the world, out of which there are thousands of creatures for whom a situation like now or never has been created. On the other hand, millions of people living in urban spots around the world believe that wildlife conservation is not a matter of urban population. But I believe that even in urban areas, hundreds of species can be supported and their populations can be increased through urban forestry.’

    Viral Desai further said, “All the plantations we have done here are dedicated to the endangered species of animals around the world, as a part of the celebration of the World Wildlife day.”

    Greenman Viral Desai has been working for ecosystem restoration and biodiversity for a long time. For this, he also launched various awareness campaigns like ‘Satyagraha Against Pollution’. The Green Udhna railway station, built by his foundation, is also a model station in ecosystem restoration and climate action.

    The zoo superintendent of Sarthana Nature Park, Dr. Rajesh Patel said, “While we are also committed to the conservation and breeding of endangered species, it is a pleasure to have a joint tree plantation with Viralbhai and his organization. With his organization we have earlier also planted thousand of trees. The trees are not only an oxygen chamber for the people around, but they are also a heaven for many species of birds, reptiles and insects. ‘

    The tree planting event was attended by Hinaben Patel with other Nature Park staff and a large number of Hearts at Work Foundation volunteers.
