  • Nahyan, an Automotive Enthusiast, won Young Innovation Award 2020

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) August 30: Nahyan Haissanar has won the Young Innovation Award 2020 for his innovations in automotive. This young automotive enthusiast studies bikes and cars on the internet and watches videos to understand their applications better.

    The Young Innovation Award recognizes young and talented minds who take their curiosity ahead, driven by innovative ideas. Organized to identify and encourage child prodigies, these awards get thousands of entries from across India every year. The process of determining the winners involves identifying the calibre of the candidate across various categories like curiosity, entrepreneurial traits, innovative thoughts, ideas, personality development, emotional intelligence, and so on. Nahyan was selected, keeping all the categories in mind. The calibre he showed at such a young age impressed the judges. “Nahyan is very confident at what he does. He knows what he knows, and he also knows what he doesn’t know. That is very important at this stage. I have seen a lot of child prodigies fail later because they stopped learning new things. Nahyan is different. His constant urge to learn new things is what makes him a rising star fit for this prestigious award,” one of the judges said.

    Currently, in Class 8, Nahyan started showing interest in automobiles from a very young age. “He was always interested in learning new things about vehicles”, his mother said. “He kept experimenting with his toy cars first, and then with his cycles and ATVs later. Today he is so good at what he does that everyone in our family trusts him even to open the engines of their expensive cars and bikes! The other day, one of his father’s cars had a weird noise coming from it. He just heard it for a few seconds and immediately identified what was wrong. He solved the problem in 5 minutes. Even the engineer from the car company was impressed with Nahyan’s skills”, she proudly added. This young automotive enthusiast knows his cars and bikes inside out. Ask him anything about them, and he will have an answer ready for you. “Whenever I see a new car or bike, the first thing I do is check its engine and performance reviews on the internet. There are so many types of engines, and people ignore them. I watch videos of new automobile releases all the time. I then go and tell everything about it to my friends in school!” Nahyan said. His teachers at school first recognized his love for automobiles. They saw this young automotive enthusiast often talk about vehicles and the science behind them with his peers. His interest in physics, too, grew because of his love for how automotive work.

    Nahyan dreams of being an F1 racer when he grows up. He is a loyal fan of car racing shows and never misses an F1 race. His favorite F1 car is the Red Formula1 racer, and his favorite bike is the Black Ducati Devil. He has a Ducati Scrambler at home, which he loves. When we asked him about the best thing in the Scrambler, he said, “It’s speed, and stroke is the best!”

    This passionate and immensely talented young champ is also a football fan. With the hope of meeting his favorite player, Messi, one day, Nahyan exclaims that, like racing, football is a fast game, which is why he loves it so much.

    Like all other teenagers of his age, Nahyan loves playing mobile games too. But he also spends time playing with animals that he meets in the neighborhood. His mother described many incidents in his childhood where he took care of animals when hurt, fed them, and nurtured them. This quality in him of loving nature while loving technology keeps him grounded and helps him grow at the same time, his father said. Nahyan also likes to click photos of nature. Like automotive, he knows his cameras perfectly well too.

    “I wish to become an F1 expert one day who not just drives cars but also knows how and why they are so fast!” Nahyan said. With this young automotive enthusiast’s powerhouse of talent, it will be interesting to see the wonderful contributions he brings to India’s automotive journey in the coming years.

  • The 14th Asia-Africa Business and Social Forum: Awards & Business E-Summit and Greatest Brands and Leaders 2020-21– Asia, Middle East and Africa

    The Global Platform for Collaboration

    New Delhi [India], August 30: With the focused agenda of bringing together businesses and social leaders from Asia, the Middle East and Africa on a global platform for mutual welfare and collaboration, AsiaOne Media Group organized the 14th Edition of Asia-Africa Business and Social Forum: Awards & Business E-summit on 27th August’21 at Zoom Digital Platform. The one-day mega E-Summit was joined by esteemed dignitaries from India, Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China/Hong Kong, Myanmar, Cambodia, the UAE, Oman, Malaysia, the USA, the UK, Nigeria, and South Africa where key leaders from business and government sectors congregated to facilitate fresher avenues of economic cooperation, networking and investment opportunities in the Asian, Middle Eastern and the African regions. Once again, AsiaOne Media Group created a unique and unmatched platform where highly intellectual and insightful thoughts were built on the significance of collaboration and cooperation, especially in the light of the pandemic.

    The Summit was organized by AsiaOne magazine and URS Media, which is rapidly emerging as the Number 1 international media company towards the cause of business, political and social issues in entire Asia & Middle East, thus supporting not only the Indian Government’s initiatives such as Skilling India, Digitizing India, and Incredible India but also supporting United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and World Health Organization’s targets. Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DPGC) was the Preferred Partner for the entire Summit and Awards.

    The 14th Edition of Asia-Africa Business & Social Forum 2021 highlighted the envious social and economic progress of Asia, the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, the forum emerged as a spectacular platform of intense discussions indulging some of the great leaders of our time – Union Government Ministers, Ambassadors, Business Owners, Investors, Government & Royal Dignitaries and professionals like CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, CHROs, from the Indian Subcontinent, South Asia and the Middle East.

    Mr. Rajat Raj Shukal, the Global Head & Principal Partner, AsiaOne magazine and URS Media Consulting P.L., opened the forum and talked about how Asia and Africa have to come together in the post-COVID-19 times to collaborate for convergence and creating a New Renaissance which should focus on creating more new businesses which are technology-enabled as this would generate more Business Leaders from Asian, Middle Eastern and African regions and generate more employment opportunities and add a contribution to the GDP and grow the economies. AsiaOne and Darwin Platform Group of companies – the preferred partner for the 14th Edition Asia-Africa Business and Social Forum 2021, would come together and initiate a TV reality show where 40 million higher education students first from India would be reached out for scouting their business ideas and then industry experts would make a three-tier selection. A few inspiring ideas will be seed funded and created into ventures, and this would first start as an initiative from India, being called “Let’s Make Great India Again” as we are the largest youth in current demographics. Then further, a similar platform would be initiated in other countries of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

    Another important aspect he spoke about was mental health, especially for youth, who may not get good employment opportunities in COVID-19 since many businesses have slowed down. And a similar message was also broadcasted by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who was also awarded the AsiaOne COVID-19 Commitment Award 2020-21. Gurudev spoke about mental health as one of the biggest challenges that the world is facing today and was pleased to participate and hear that 400 awardees were being recognised at the forum and were being motivated in these unprecedented times.

    The Forum witnessed eloquent speeches by some of India’s popular Union Government Ministers. They talked about the massive developmental works being undertaken in varied sectors under the exemplary leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. They lauded his clarion call of turning adversity into opportunity. They appreciated the various reforms and measures adopted by the Government to facilitate the Ease of Doing Business and promote Self Reliance and Entrepreneurship. The Summit saw messages and Live Broadcast by the Indian Union and State Government Ministers such as Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shri Kiren Rijiju, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Shri Ramdas Athawle, Sushri Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and others.

    The Forum also showcased rich and varied insights from Ambassadors of Asian and African countries who talked about the measures for increasing trade and mutual cooperation between the nations and promoted their countries as tourism destinations by highlighting their unique features. For instance, Her Excellency Dr. Tizita Mulugeta Yiman, the Ambassador of Ethiopia to India, urged the participating leaders to visit Ethiopia, which offers all-time favourable weather and friendly hospitability of friendly people. She also shared some rich and exciting facts about Ethiopia – the largest coffee producer in Africa. She took pride that “Ethiopia is the only non-colonized country of Africa and was the first one from Africa to establish diplomatic relations with India in 1948.” She expressed satisfaction with the “strong trade and investment relations between the two countries which date back to the 6th century” and cherished the cordial diplomatic ties between the two nations.

    Similarly, Dr. Kriengsak Chareonwongsak, the Honorary Consul General of Zimbabwe in Thailand, talked about his four decades-long academic and business association with Africa and expressed hope in the mutual collaboration of Asia and Africa for a better world. The South African High Commissioner in India, His Excellency Mr. J.S. Ndebele projected South Africa as a country that derives its strength in challenging and transforming itself continually. He was delighted to share that India and South Africa are some of the largest trading partners.

  • Upguide Hires Over 100 Coaches Globally To Work with Students

    The coaches are alumni of leading universities and give a significant fillip to UpGuide’s existing team of international education specialists.

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 30: UpGuide, a leading tech-based platform that assists students and professionals to secure admission in leading universities in the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere, to put them on the right career path, is gearing up for the big league.

    Having already helped thousands and students gain admissions in Ivy League universities such as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, besides Oxford, Cambridge, and other top-notch universities through its curated network of coaches, UpGuide is now looking to assist many more students in realising their dream of overseas education.

    UpGuide has significantly bolstered its resources by bringing on board more than 100 coaches across countries to work with students and professionals and help them prepare for PhD, MBA, MS, MSc, BBA, BSc, and numerous other top-rated and in-demand courses.

    These 100 coaches, mostly of Indian origin, are alumni of leading universities and work in the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and other popular international education destinations. The new coaches give a significant fillip to UpGuide’s existing team comprising international education specialists.

    “Lack of quality coaching and mentoring is a key issue in the overseas education consultancy. In spite of paying through the nose, students end up selecting poor colleges because the coaching they received was not up to the mark. UpGuide believes in hiring only the very best and qualified coaches, who themselves have experience in international studies, to ensure students get the highest quality of guidance and mentoring,” says Rishika Maheshwari, Director and Head Marketing at UpGuide.

    UpGuide offers students the chance to choose from over 30,000 programmes offered in hundreds of universities and is a one-stop solution for the correct guidance for overseas education opportunities. The UpGuide team assists aspiring students with variables including courses, scholarships, exam modules, colleges, etc. It helps them create a stellar resume and write a stand-out statement of purpose/essay.

    The UpGuide team helps students prepare for GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, SAT, ACT, IELTS, and other exams students need to clear before becoming eligible for admission in universities overseas.

    UpGuide also assists in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence-based university selection, personalised mentoring and counseling, college interview preparation, auto-application generation for chosen college, visa, loans, and accommodation, to ensure the whole process is smooth and hassle-free.

    The platform is also introducing a technology to make the whole process of overseas education even more efficient. UpGuide has developed a technology that will allow students to get the correct assistance at every step of their journey to the University of their Dreams. The technology will facilitate selection of the right college based on the student’s profile, shortlist colleges through platform coaches, and also prepare them as per the college’s requirement,” said Arunav Gilotra, Product Director at UpGuide, and a computer science engineer from the University of Toronto.

    Arunav said they would be filing for a patent for the technology soon.

    “We understand the rapidly changing dynamics today and have ensured that each UpGuide student is getting nothing but best of services through tailored application strategy, globally renowned coaches and our technology,” adds Rohini Chauhan, Sr. Counsellor at UpGuide.

  • Cinema and Entertainment Industry, the Road Ahead After Pandemic in India

    Ahmedabad, August 28: Speaking to the media at the special screening of the Hindi Film “CHEHRE”, the producer Mr Anand Pandit showed great concern about the Entertainment Industry future after the pandemic. While speaking to the media, he said; Bollywood and the entertainment industry have always seen an incredible journey in India. It has consistently reached the next level in talent, technology, theatrical experience, and digital platforms like OTTs. Maybe much more will come in the future. He said; with human life, entertainment will never die. Entertainment is always going to be in demand. Since the pandemic, we have seen significant growth in OTT vertical, which will have no adverse effect on theatres demands. Instead,

    Anand Pandit

    OTT will be there, and both will probably complement in terms of audience choice. OTT is the retailing of the Entertainment industry, which has given so many new formats in the entertainment and new talent. Every talent has a reasonable chance to showcase their work and ability, and there is a vast audience waiting for some innovations in the Entertainment industry.

    Speaking about his 51st film “CHEHRE” under Mr. Anand Pandit Motion Pictures, he said, “Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has not charged us a single rupee on this project. In fact, as I wish, I wanted to do the film with Mr. Bachchan. Still, we never got the right script. One day, Amitabh Ji called me and said, I have a story and script ready if you can produce the film. I was like, this is the best moment of my life, and the project started. Though, with the pandemic effect for us, we had a tough time. Still, with all the hard work of the entire team, the project was completed with success, and the film is releasing this Friday, 27th August.”

    Chehre is a Hindi language mystery thriller film directed by Rumy Jafry with production by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Saraswati Entertainment Private Limited. Starring Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Mr. Emraan Hashmi as leads. The film features Krystle D’Souza, Rhea Chakraborty, Siddhanth Kapoor, Annu Kapoor, Dhritiman Chatterjee, and Raghubir Yadav in other pivotal roles. Mr. Bachchan is in as a lawyer, while Hashmi is in as a business tycoon. The film is releasing on 27th August 2021. 

  • Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu make rapid strides towards overall development in five years

    The union territory has seen numerous developmental initiatives in healthcare, education, employment generation, tourism promotion, and other areas under administrator Praful Patel.

    Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu has made unprecedented progress in both ease of living and doing business since 2016.

    Daman [India], August 28: In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, the union territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu has taken rapid strides towards development for all in the last five years.

    The union territory has made tremendous progress in health, education, industrial development, tourism, women empowerment, urban and rural development, tribal welfare, among others, since 2016.

    Incidentally, Praful Patel, Administrator of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, took over as the administrator of Daman & Diu, which was a separate union territory at the time, on August 29, 2016, and he will complete five years of serving on the post on Sunday. Subsequently, he was also assigned the responsibility as Dadra & Nagar Haveli administrator on December 30, the same year.

    In an effort to reduce duplication of services and usher in greater efficiency in administration, the union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi merged the two union territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu in January 2020. As administrator of the two union territories, Praful Patel provided essential suggestions and inputs on the merger and played a vital role in the creation of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.

    “Over the last five years, a holistic and integrated approach for the development of the union territory has been adopted. The focus has been on improving both the ease of living and doing business through effective administration. The UT administration has worked on strengthening healthcare delivery systems, boosting education, infrastructure development, employment generation, and other fields to achieve the two objectives,” informed the source from Department of Information and Publicity, Daman

    “Under the leadership of Praful Patel, the groundwork has been laid, and the UT Administration is accelerating the efforts that have been made in five years to take the union territory to new heights by harnessing its full potential,” added the source.

    As far as healthcare is concerned, the Vinoba Bhave civil hospital in Silvassa has been expanded into a 650-bed multi-specialty hospital. The 185-bed government hospital at Daman is being upgraded to a 300-bed hospital. Several health & wellness centres have been established in the union territory to ensure easy healthcare access for people.

    The focus on healthcare and the upgraded infrastructure played a crucial role in the union territory’s effective handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The union territory remained Covid-free until June 1, 2020, i.e., for nearly five months after the country reported its first Covid-19 case. Moreover, 100% of the eligible population had received at least one of the Covid-19 vaccine doses by June-end. The drive to administer the second dose is continuing at full pace.

    To give a boost to primary education, more than 20 new school buildings are being built across the union territory. Hundreds of classrooms have also been transformed into smart classrooms to make learning interactive and exciting.

    Multiple initiatives have also been taken in higher education, including coaching for JEE / NEET, setting up a medical college in Silvassa, offering paramedical courses, a new nursing college, and an engineering college in Daman. An education hub has been established in Diu, which is also home to the International campus of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara.

    To ensure employment generation through industrial investments, the UT came up with an Industrial Policy in 2018, followed by one this year, to attract fresh investments. Nearly 5,000 new industries have been registered in the UT from 2016 to 2020, creating more than 75,000 jobs. A single window portal, investment facilitation centre, business reforms action plan, reducing and simplifying regulatory compliances, among other steps, have contributed to Ease of Doing Business in the UT.

    Tourism is another area that has seen a significant thrust since 2016. The beautification of Diu fort, heritage walk in Diu, development of tent cities at various places, sound & light show at Diu, beautification projects, besides popular events and festivals such as Monsoon Magic Festival, Daman Festival, Book Festival, etc. have helped in attracting more tourists to the union territory. The Blue Flag beach certification award to Diu’s Ghoghla beach in October last year underscores the administration’s efforts to boost tourism.

    The unification of the union territory, multiple digitalisation projects, mergers and repeal of various laws, complaint management system, and the e-office project aimed at paperless administration are among the numerous steps since 2016 to ensure greater efficiency and transparency in administration.

  • Tracing the Evolution of Supply Chain and Prospects about its Future

    New Delhi, August 28: The BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized a webinar on Tracing the Evolution of Supply Chain and Prospects about its Future on August 27, 2021, 5:30 PMIST virtually.

    In line with the BRICS 2021 Agenda, the BRICS Chamber of Commerce & Industry evaluated how new technologies can further improve how goods are shipped, handled, stored, and delivered. We also discussed how companies could reduce the supply chain’s carbon footprint by making it more efficient through technology and using cleaner fuel.

    The panel discussion advocated solution-oriented dialogue where panelists and invitees pitched ideas for efficient decision-making and an effective supply chain. We also discussed how collaboration between countries and companies could help create new technologies and deploy the current ones in creating a more sustainable supply chain. We identified the means and ways by which the MSME and the unorganized sector can implement the supply chain technologies in their business.

    The webinar was inaugurated with the opening address of our Chairman, Mr. VishwasTripathi, who stated that “The 21st century has changed the way the traditional supply chain works. Implementation of Artificial intelligence, Advance analytics, the Internet of things, Robotic process automation, Block chain and Machine learning has opened new prospects in the field and made the supply chain more efficient and resilient.”

    The session was presided by Keynote speaker, Lt. Gen. D V Kalra, PVSM, AVSM (Retired), who stated, “The development of IT is exponential. You are talking about AI, block chain and many other terms. The supply chain is moving fast, and the future is bright with continuous development.”

    The panel discussion explored a myriad of topics discussed by a cohort of a diverse panel of experts from all across the globe:-

    RaveenaGoyal (Supply Chain Consultant) said that “Supply chain can be summed up into three words- Descriptive, Prescriptive and Predictive which will enable to enhance the trajectory of action and improve our inventory levels.”

    AniTonyan (Business trainer & Consultant in Sustainable Procurement Management, MBA Lecturer at MIRBIS International Business School) said that “We need to be more eco-friendly to protect everyone in this chain. The traditional supply chain was a narrow concept, but the scenario has changed to include innovation in diverse areas. It now delves into more transparency.”

    Sanjay Agarwal (President and Head, Supply Chain, Hindalco, Aditya Birla Group) said that “In the recent pandemic, we have understood the importance of a resilience supply chain. We need not even a minute of the shutdown, and it is crucial to select the right business partner. We have to not only invest in our business partner but also maintain long-lasting relations with them.”

    Akshay Kumar Deshwal (Director, YayathBuildtech LLP.) said that “The future of the supply chain is very bright, and the warehouse is acting as a pillar. eCommerce is completely dependent on it now. Covid19 has boosted it a lot.”

    Minhaj Ashraf (Managing Partner, Shalimar Group) said that “The biggest problem is the poor quality of infrastructure in India. Secondly, National highways carry 40 per cent of transportation. Thirdly, in cold chain logistics, there’s a shortage of capacity. We have to develop something for the proper supply chain management.”

    The session was moderated by Lt. Gen. D V Kalra, PVSM, AVSM (Retired).

    The event was concluded by the Vote of thanks delivered by Mr. RuhailRanjan (Governing Body Member, BRICS CCI)
