  • Alcodes Mobility Re-Launches a marketing automation software ‘Cronberry’ for small and medium businesses in India

    Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], November 22: Alcodes mobility Pvt. Ltd, India’s leading SMS service platform, has re-launched its service for marketing automation known as ‘Cronberry’.

    The New update consists of a revamped website and added features as digital catalogues, Landing pages, Url Shortner etc.

    Abhishek Joshi, Co-founder, Cronberry said, “According to industry estimates, more than 60% of marketing leaders worldwide are now using at least one marketing automation platform. MarTech, which has seen widespread adoption in India, is expected to grow at a 44% CAGR over the next five years, “

    Joshi added, “Today’s marketers are in a mad dash to provide their customers with an excellent ‘Online / Offline experience,’ rather than simply managing the relationship. In the next three years, major SMBs in India will shift to this trend to capitalise on the current digital wave.”

    Cronberry is working in the field of marketing automation and lead management, which aims to streamline the process of reaching out to possible customers as well as their retention / re-engagement over long periods.

    The company offers to bring this diverse set of activities within the umbrella of a single mode of automation. Instead of a segmented approach to defining the marketing campaign, this tool connects the user database and its activities directly with the necessary adjustments as per the demography of the subjects targeted.

    The internet’s importance in our daily lives has grown over the last decade. However, it was not until the pandemic began in 2020 that it became the primary mode of communication. While large scale businesses had already shifted to an e-commerce based model and adopted the online business automation processes, small and medium scale enterprises had to play the catch up as quarantined existence became the order of the day. This brought about the unique problem of reaching out to customers over the digital landscape, said Joshi.

    About Cronberry

    Currently being bootstrapped, Cronberry already has a customer base of over 250 small and medium businesses and plans to begin its external funding exercise in December 2021. The company intends to expand beyond Indian territory into South East Asia and the Middle East by 2022. Along with the international expansion, their long-term goals include a thousand or more new customers and a revenue of at least Rs 10 crore. Cronberry is an essential tool for small and medium businesses to avail and make their reach as widespread and robust as possible, in the current climate of digital existence, as e-commerce becomes the rule rather than the exception, and with 20000+ homegrown e-commerce players and 66 million+ SME’s being registered.

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 22: Have you heard of any kid who doesn’t love celebrating Children’s Day? We haven’t either. For the last few years, the children of Worli have had something extraordinary to look forward to, thanks to Basti BBQ – a unique pop-up carnival concept by youth activist Arjun Meghe to celebrate children, art, food and entertainment.

  • Sector Balakot – A Gujarati filmmaker highlights issues like the economy of Terrorism and the business of war in society

    Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], November 20: Bollywood has produced many films on Terrorism. When we talk about Terrorism, the first thing that strikes the mind of Indians is India’s years’ old enemy Pakistan. In February 2019, the Indian Army did an airstrike at Balakot in which about 300 terrorists were killed. You may have seen the Bollywood film on Terrorism with the war between terrorists and the Indian Army, rigorous firing, and combat. Hit films like Kargil, Border, Holiday and Uri have shown many forms of Terrorism. But many issues of the economy of this Terrorism have not been highlighted by Bollywood.

    Vadodara resident Gujarati NRI filmmaker and director Hitesh Khristy’s Sector Balakot, a unique film, will be released in December 2021, highlighting many issues of the economy of Terrorism. Well known Bollywood actors Vipul Gupta, Ashmit Patel, Jinal Pandya and Puneet Issar, are in the lead roles.

    The film explores how, for what reasons and by whom Terrorism is spread. You will be surprised to know through this film that Terrorism is not only spread by bomb blasts and firing in public places but also by destroying the economy of the country and brainwashing the youth of the country.

    Hitesh is an alumnus of the Faculty of Social Work, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara. He is involved in the business of reinsurance, insurance as well as human resources. Having visited 60 countries, Hitesh is currently operating his business in Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and India. He is the first producer from Vadodara to make a film in Bollywood. CEO Insights Magazine recently nominated him as one of India’s Top 10 Business Leaders in Malaysia.

    Thousands of people lost their lives in the Corona pandemic last year. The most prolonged lockdown also became the reason for unemployment and the loss of business of many people. Hitesh Khristy, a Vadodara resident and NRI businessman, employed almost 150 people through his upcoming message-oriented film Sector Balakot which mainly focuses on the Economics of Terrorism and the Business of War.

    Hitesh Khristy said about making his first film, “There are many reasons behind making this film. I came to India from Malaysia in March 2020. I had to return to Malaysia after completing my business work in 3 to 4 days. Corona caused a lockdown and had to stay in India. Being a creative mind, I was interested in filmmaking, including the business of reinsurance, insurance as well as human resources. Therefore, last year I started Q Cafe Movies Production House and decided to make a film on patriotism. The shooting of Sector Balakot began after the second wave of Corona, and during the shooting of the movie, about 100 to 150 people got employment opportunities on the set. My main objective is to convey a good and positive message to the people through this film. Apart from this, most Bollywood films are shot in many states like Maharashtra, Goa, but in this film, you will see beautiful and unexplored locations of Gujarat.

    Hitesh further added that 100 crore people had lost their lives in wars that have not been reported in the past and Corona pandemic so far in human history. And in the past 3500 years, there were only 250 years where no war was going on. War and Terrorism have become a business venture that spreads violence around the world. I want to give a message to the people through this film about how human beings can survive in this world of violence.

    In addition, this film reveals many facts related to Terrorism, war, and the economy of Terrorism. So far, the world has spent about 13 trillion dollars on development-related sectors, and 17 trillion dollars has been spent on war and its equipment. Such astonishing facts will be revealed in Hitesh Khristy’s Sector Balakot film.

    Sector Balakot is a Pakistani terrorist interrogation film in which many facts came out during the interrogation of a terrorist. In this film, viewers will get to know where and how the roots of Terrorism originate. The film was shot at Lakshmi Studio in Vadodara, Pavagadh and its adjoining forests, DevgarhBaria, Dang’s forest, Dalhousie and Mumbai. The 1-hour, 20-minute film Sector Balakot will be released in theatres in December 2021.

  • LANXESS again with leading positions in Dow Jones Sustainability Indices

    Mumbai, November 19: LANXESS once again convinces in terms of sustainability: The specialty chemicals company placed first in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Europe in the “Chemicals” category, scoring 87 out of 100 points. In the DJSI World, LANXESS came in second place. The Group achieved particularly good results in the areas of product stewardship, management of water related risks and human rights.

    “We want to play an active role in the transformation of the economy and global value chains towards a more sustainable world,” said Hubert Fink, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG. “We consider the renewed very good ranking in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index as proof of the success of our efforts.”

    The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices evaluate economically relevant ESG factors once a year. ESG stands for the sustainability dimensions Environment, Social and Governance. The DJSI World lists the best 10 percent of the global companies evaluated per sector, while the DJSI Europe lists the best 20 percent of companies headquartered in Europe.

    Sustainable use of water and chemicals

    Two years ago, LANXESS published its plan on how to become climate-neutral by 2040. In 2020, the specialty chemicals company also committed to reducing water withdrawals at sites in areas with particularly high water stress by 15 percent by 2023.

    In addition, LANXESS has pledged to further improve its product portfolio’s sustainability performance, eliminate critical substances in products, and develop safe alternatives. The company has also committed not to market any new chemical end products that contain critical substances in a concentration of more than 0.1 percent.

    Board remuneration linked to sustainability targets

    In addition to voluntary commitments, the specialty chemicals company is focusing on incentive systems for greater sustainability: a new compensation system for the Board of Management has been in place since the beginning of the year. Roughly one-third of the variable compensation is linked to the company’s sustainability performance. Specifically, the company’s performance in climate protection and occupational safety will be factored into the system for 2021.

  • LANXESS sales up 33.5 percent year-on-year at EUR 1.951 billion

    EBITDA pre exceptionals increase 44.0 percent to EUR 278 million

    Mumbai, November 20: Specialty chemicals company LANXESS holds its own also in a challenging environment: Despite a sharp rise in raw material, energy and freight costs, EBITDA pre exceptionals in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 44.0 percent to EUR 278 million, against EUR 193 million in the prior-year quarter. With an increase of 33.5 percent year on year, LANXESS generated sales of EUR 1.951 billion in the third quarter of 2021. At EUR 68 million, net income from continuing operations was higher than in the third quarter of 2020, in which LANXESS generated EUR 25 million.

    The strong earnings were driven by all segments – especially Specialty Additives and Engineering Materials. The three acquisitions completed in this fiscal year, especially that of Emerald Kalama Chemical, also contributed to the good results. Adverse exchange rates, mainly from the U.S. dollar, but especially higher energy and freight costs, prevented a further increase in earnings. The EBITDA margin pre exceptionals increased to 14.2 percent in the third quarter, against 13.2 percent in the prior-year quarter.

    “The third quarter of this year was again characterized by growth. Our operating business continued to develop positively, and we successfully passed on the significantly increased raw material costs. With the announced acquisition of IFF Microbial Control, we will also be significantly expanding our Consumer Protection segment again in the future. This will make us more stable and more profitable,” said Matthias Zachert, Chairman of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG. “However, the unprecedented increase in energy, raw material and freight costs is not leaving us unscathed. We expect the cost pressure to even increase in the fourth quarter.” Due to these cost increases, strained supply chains, and power rationing in China, which is negatively affecting production there, LANXESS expects EBITDA pre exceptionals for the full year to be at the lower end of the guided range of EUR 1 billion to EUR 1.05 billion.

    LANXESS continues to grow with the planned acquisition of the Microbial Control business from U.S. group International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF). The two companies signed an agreement to this effect in August. The transaction is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. Within four years of completing the transaction, LANXESS expects an additional annual EBITDA contribution of around USD 35 million (roughly EUR 30 million*) as a result of synergies.

    Due to the passing on of increased raw material costs and continued good demand, the Advanced Intermediates segment posted higher sales in the third quarter of 2021. They rose by 28.7 percent from EUR 414 million to EUR 533 million. The segment’s EBITDA pre exceptionals reached EUR 84 million, 18.3 percent higher than the prior-year figure of EUR 71 million.

    The Specialty Additives segment benefited from higher selling prices and improved demand in all business units. In the third quarter of 2021, sales grew by 29.8 percent, from EUR 466 million to EUR 605 million. At EUR 102 million, the segment even achieved the best result in its history. The EBITDA margin pre exceptionals reached 16.9 percent, against 12.7 percent a year ago.

    The Engineering Materials segment generated significantly higher sales, particularly due to the continued very good demand from the automotive industry. Sales increased by 53.0 percent from EUR 285 million in the previous year’s third quarter, which was heavily affected by the pandemic, to EUR 436 million.
