    First-of-its-kind clinic launched in Lucknow to cure PCOD hormonal disorder in women

    Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 14: Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), a common disease in today’s younger generation, has taken the modern world by storm. With the mission to help women to optimise their hormones and get back their vibrant selves, a first-of-its-kind PCOD clinic has been launched in Lucknow.

    Thanks to Dr. Sameer Kumar Singh and Dr. Neeraj Singh—both are gold medallists—for launching the PCOD clinic with the vision to provide their patients with wholesome health solutions.

    PCOD, a hormonal disorder, occurs due to the imbalance of two female hormones—estrogen and progesterone—with estrogen taking the upper hand in causing menstrual irregularities, infertility, increased risk of endometrial (inner lining of the uterus) and breast cancer, insulin resistance causing obesity and excess of testosterone causing acne and hair growth.

    Both the doctors are focused on creating a holistic health plan for their patients through guiding them about diet modifications and providing insightful knowledge about changing one’s personality, aura, and lifestyle. They try to reach the core issues behind hormonal health imbalance. These issues are linked with anxiety, depression, PTSD issues, stress disorders. Using their abundant knowledge and experience in the field a health plan is created.

    Dr. Sameer Kumar Singh, who is operating the multispeciality clinic, Naina Homeo Care since 2002 in Lucknow, said, “We are focusing on creating a  holistic health plan for the patients with homeopathic medicines, dietary modifications, and changing one’s personality, aura, and lifestyle. We try to reach the core issues behind hormonal health imbalance. These issues are linked with anxiety, depression, PTSD issues, and stress disorders”

    “The people in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities believe in the power of homeopathy and coaching for two main reasons. Firstly, the clinical expertise can reach their places through online systems. And secondly, medicines can also get delivered to their doorstep”, Dr. Neeraj Singh, a master in NLP and a qualified health coach.

  • Ajay Ajmera, the man who changed the lives of 5000 underprivileged women!

    Ajay Ajmera, the man who changed the lives of 5000 underprivileged women!

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], January 13: There is a Chinese proverb, “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime.”

    And the same proverb has been brought to life once again by a dynamic textile entrepreneur, the founder of Ajmera Fashion, Mr. Ajay Ajmera.

    Ajay Ajmera, who has also been featured in Forbes Magazine, is a well-known face of the Indian textile industry, but his even greater feat is the revolution he has brought in the field of livelihood generation for women through entrepreneurship.

    Mr. Ajmera, who himself had once faced the brunt of poverty, was determined to do something which would pull people, especially women, out of destitution.

    He, along with his wife Mrs. Rachana Jain, brainstormed over many ideas and finally came up with a unique proposition that would later change the lives of thousands of needy women.

    The idea was to promote women entrepreneurship by helping housewives belonging to the underprivileged sections of the society to do business.

    Immediately a team was set up to identify and train the women from villages, small towns and even big cities who were eager to change their lives by doing business.

    These women were taught how to start a saree business by saving and investing a little amount of money. They were educated about every aspect of the clothing business. The earning potential of the business was quite instrumental in convincing them to start this business.

    And once the women were equipped with the know-how of doing Saree business, Ajmera Fashion provided them with quality saree stock at a subsidized rate.

    The results were surprising, the women who were confined to the four walls proved that they could do anything if given the opportunity.

    Ajay Ajmera was now convinced that this was an idea that could be scaled up. But again, the question was “how”?

    And the answer was the ubiquitous Internet. Ajay Ajmera himself came forward and made scores of youtube videos to propagate this idea amongst the masses.

    And as the French poet and novelist Victor Hugo has said, “Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”

    The word spread fast, and within a few years, more than 5000 women from every nook and corner of India became a part of this movement.

    Many such women are now the primary breadwinners of their family, and many who started the business from a small room now own a big saree showroom.

    The powerful impact of this initiative was also recognised by the government. Ajay Ajmera’s selfless efforts won him the prestigious “The Champions of Change Award 2020”, which was conferred by Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the Governor of Maharashtra.

    We congratulate and thank Mr. Ajay Ajmera for his noble work, and we are very optimistic that his continued efforts will be instrumental in changing the lives of lacs of Indian women. To know more details, please check it out https://youtube.com/c/AjmeraFashionSyntheticSareeManufacturer

    Marwadi Financial Services enters into partnership with NSDL Payments Bank to offer Integrated Trading & Savings Bank Account to Investors

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 13: Marwadi Financial Services continues to expand its bouquet of partnerships to provide a faster & effective investment and trading experience to our customers. Their latest affiliation with NSDL Payments Bank will allow Marwadi Financial Services to offer its clients an integrated 3-in-1 savings account that combines the features of savings, Demat and trading accounts. Using this account, investors will be able to seamlessly transfer funds in real-time and execute trades in almost no time. Users will also be able to avail margins without actually moving funds between their savings and trading accounts. The 3-in-1 account will provide the additional advantage to users of availing savings interest on funds lying idle in their trading account. This strategic partnership will help Marwadi to boost customer experience while allowing NSDL Payments Bank to access Marwadi’s clients and expand its customer base.

    Announcing the partnership Mr. Gaurav Bhojak, Chief Strategy & Digital Transformation Officer at Marwadi Financial Services, said, “The integration of NSDL Payments Bank’s savings account is an inordinate step forward for us. Now our customers can experience an advanced trading experience offered by Marwadi Financial Services with a safe and secure banking mechanism backed by NSDL Payments Bank. This partnership will allow us to extend an innovative, single click and seamless experience to our clients for availing margins without going through the slow & traditional fund transfer journey while adhering to the regulatory norms. This tech integration will enable our customers to allocate funds while retaining the money in their bank’s saving account till trade is successfully executed.

    With this addition, we are fully confident that our customers will appreciate the new level of ease and comfort this will bring to their investing experience. As digital transformation continues to reshape the financial services landscape, we at Marwadi Financial Services stay ahead of the curve by constantly introducing innovative products and solutions to bring ease of investing to every customer, which will result in an enhanced investing experience.”

    Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Ashutosh Singh, President & CBO at NSDL Payments Bank, said, “NSDL Payments Bank is extremely delighted to add another compelling product in its expanding product suite in partnership with Marwadi Financial Services. The integrated savings bank account offering is in keeping with our mission of making the journey of payments and investments safer, simpler and seamless for the customer. The combined product offering with Marwadi Financial Services Ltd will allow broking customers to allocate funds to the broker for stock market transactions while retaining the money in their bank account until the trade is successfully executed, thereby earning them interest until the time such trade gets completed.

    What’s more, the savings bank account allows the customers to tag and identify capital market transactions separately through the mobile banking app. This feature will be extremely useful to investors at the time of filing tax returns in understanding the flow of funds allocated for capital market transactions for any period.

    Along with the account holders, the broking house benefits from this arrangement as the settlement is done on a real-time basis in a very cost-effective manner. Additionally, manual efforts and costs related to reconciliation are eliminated.

    We are confident that all customers of the capital market will find this product persuasive from the lens of safety, utility and convenience, and this, in turn, will help us achieve scale.”
