  • Celebrity numerologist Sheelaa M Bajaj’s empowerment platform moves online

    Dubai [UAE], July 5: The pandemic has made people stressed, anxious, and fearful. Without definitive answers about the future, there is collective anxiety in society. World-over, there has been a rise in the number of people who are taking refuge in tarot. Looking at the benefits her clients get out of psychic consultations, leading numerologist and tarot card reader Sheelaa M Bajaj has now launched a global platform to cater to tarot, psychic, Akashic readings, healing, and other services.

    The Sheelaa M Bajaj platform www.sheelaa.com offers opportunities for people to reflect on their lives, find purpose and navigate through uncertainties. As one of the leading numerologists and tarot specialists, Sheelaa finds a spike in the number of people seeking services like numerology, aura cleansing, astrological services, and tarot readings. “Each and every service offered on the SMB platform is about empowerment. They offer emotional well-being in pandemic times when so many have faced loss and are grieving.”

    Even before Sheelaa launched the online platform, there was a demand for her psychic interventions. Migrating online, she explains how clients who come for guidance, predictions, and niche services like aura cleansing and healing, stay on for counselling and therapy that the specialists offer. “Since our platform is online and our specialists are available round the clock, clients have been benefitted by the comfort offered at any point in time.”

    Talking about the need for such an online platform, Sheelaa says it is almost the ‘need of the hour’ in pandemic times. “The trend of consulting psychics has slowly become a broader secular movement because those who approach us call themselves spiritual as opposed to religious. So, the client base has broadened and the kind of consultations they seek are getting wider and varied. By going online, people can schedule readings or consultations between doing their chores and looking after their families.”

    For the Sheelaa M Bajaj platform, going online has been smooth and efficient. It offers a state of anonymity to those who wish, it works better for clients who may be ‘fidgety’ or ‘nervous’ during a face-to-face session. Sheelaa comments, “There is a great source of comfort offered to those who may otherwise have been reluctant to reach out for help.”

    The IBISWorld, a market research firm, has projected a 2.6 percent growth in revenue for the psychic services industry in 2021 alone. As the firm put it, ‘Rising unemployment and greater personal financial concerns spurred many consumers to turn to psychic services for pressing financial and career advice.’

    But with such impressive growth, there is a word of caution for people to avoid frauds prowling for opportunities to cheat. It is precisely why the SMB platform offers assurance. “There is credibility intrinsically attached to our platform which is gained through our services and our long-term reputation,” Sheelaa points out. “Even before the pandemic, we have been helping thousands of people ranging from individuals, celebrities, businesses, and corporates by guiding them to excel in their life’s purpose. My platform is an extension of these services.”

    The future of the psychic business is treading on the same online path as most of the other invaluable healing and wellness services. The Sheelaa M Bajaj platform has made it easier for people worldwide to navigate through the extremely stressful situations that a pandemic throws at them. In the words of a client, “It has made me feel good, energetic, and hopeful.”

    Edison (New Jersey) [USA], July 2: ITServe Alliance has announced a partnership with EZJobs to help community members hire talent in the post-Covid employment ecosystem. All community members can benefit from EZJobs for free as it is being offered as a part of ITServe’s CSR initiative. ITServe Alliance is the largest association of IT business owners in the USA.

    The Covid-19 pandemic, especially in its second wave, has wreaked havoc in many countries of the world, India in particular. The kind of disruption and utter chaos this has caused for numerous families is well-documented yet insurmountable. News reports of one of the parents losing their jobs, putting the great burden of keeping the house fire burning on the partner have been particularly troubling.

    Raghu Chittimalla, National President of ITServe Alliance mentioned that at this time of need ITServe Alliance has donated 20 ventilators and 200 units of oxygen concentrators. Goutham Goli, National CSR director added that ITServe continues to support the needy during this pandemic by offering employment to candidates who have lost their jobs or lost the singular breadwinner of the family because of Covid-19 through member companies who have their offshore offices in India.

    More than 18 months into the pandemic, the most deafening silence comes from job losers, who might have even lost their aptitude for an ongoing job hunt even as they suffer other devastations of the pandemic.

    Amid all of this, the ITServe leadership has decided to contribute and give back to the community in partnership with the digital recruitment platform, EZJobs, where candidates can post their resumes and connect directly with IT business owners.

    Speaking about the collaboration, Jyoti Vazirani, co-founder of EZJobs and PR Director of ITServe, laid out how this works for job seekers: “The job seekers can post their resumes by clicking the link https://ezjobs.page.link/itserve where they will be connected with the member companies.”

    “From there, member companies of ITServe will be able to view the profiles of these candidates and invite them for employment – part-time and full-time opportunities,” Jyoti added.

    The EZJobs candidate portal for ITServe community members is open and actively functional at the time of release.

    Speaking about India’s COVID-19 situation, this IT professional voices the people’s shock at everything. “There was so much negativity associated with ‘being positive’.We were all mentally disturbed at home. The flow of myths &misinformation was huge leading to further pandemic fear.”

    Ratik further adds, “I remember the day I tested positive. These scary thoughts were too much for us to handle. We just didn’t know what next. The keyboard is the only thing that kept me going. Fortunately, my family understood & supported my musical passion.”

    He has been playing the keyboard since the age of 10. Ratik, who also works as a Software engineer professional at Optum thinks music is the best rejuvenating therapy.

    Sharing his experience during COVID, Ratik, mentioned, “When my family and I were home isolated due to COVID, we were all stuck in our rooms. That’s when music came to my help. I used to play the keyboard every day in the evening and the whole family enjoyed it from their respective room. Being isolated is not a great feeling. Emotional upheavals, health issues & loneliness can have negative effects on one’s mind. Getting out of it was possible only because of music, keyboard to be particular. Plus it helped my family stay calm & happy too in their respective rooms. A very famous quote left a footprint on my mind which is Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you’re listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.”

    Ratik is keen to share his musical experience so as to help others deal with similar ordeals. “Music has helped me gain confidence by performing in front of crowds, along with expressing myself. It has helped me in becoming a calmer person by absorbing all my stress. It has also helped me to share who I am with the world.”

    Ed Sheeran’s Photograph is his favourite. “I can still recall my first college performance and cherish those memories every day. That’s my motivation. Music holds everyone together and that’s what gives me the zeal to continue playing keyboard.” Most would be aware of research that states music helps ease anxiety, blood pressure, and other such health worries, along with providing good sleep, mood, alertness & memory.

    With talks floating about ways to deal with COVID’s impact on physical & mental health, Ratik Puri’s musical experience can be inspiring and needs to be shared.

  • Over 2700 students participate as HSM and INACE conduct India’s biggest Internship competition for High school students

    New Delhi [India], July 1: High school Moms and INACE successfully wrapped up its internship program in entrepreneurship and business for the high school students of India.
    The competition was structured in 3 explicit rounds. The first round of the competition was based on the applications in which 1058 students were selected. The second round then assessed participants based on the essays they wrote. Ultimately 365 students were finalized after 2 rounds of careful assessments of their essays and based on their application.

    These 365 selected students were then given a rare and excellent opportunity of attending workshops from international and leading faculties of entrepreneurship and business from the Singapore Institute of Management, Huron University of Canada, and Flame University, Pune.

    The selected students received an elaborate and useful session about financial literacy, social media marketing, and entrepreneurial strategies from the best business institutes. The interaction between the students and the faculty members was vivid and lively.

    Abhishek Gupta, Founder, and CEO of HSM and INACE shared his experience of the competition, “This initiative was India’s biggest and most selective internship program for high school students. The kind of response and feedback we’ve received from the participants is overwhelming. Launched on 19th May 2021, this program received more than 2700 applicants from over 200 plus schools from all over India.
    The students came up and presented their brilliant business ideas in front of our jury. The jury then selected the top 10 ideas and then each of those 10 students gave a profound presentation about their business idea.

    “This competition is truly one of a kind. No one really thinks about professional guidance during high school days. But now all we see is a competitive world outside our school life. Therefore competitions like these prepare us for that competition beforehand. Plus, we get to interact with top business educators and professors from International Institutes.”, says Dev Anand, of our participants.

    The finale was scheduled for the 12th of June. Three rigorous rounds of thorough assessments led us to the top 3 students who won their summer boot camp for innovation from Huron and Summer Immersion program from Flame. The winning students were further given amazing prizes from us, High School Moms, and even an amazon voucher from SIM.

    Expressing his gratitude, Abhishek Gupta further says, “We are grateful to all the schools who participated as partners in this competition. More than 20 of India’s leading schools were school partners to the internship competition including Podar Education, Pathways World School, KC HIGH, Billabong International Thane, DPS Gurgaon Sector 45, Ebenezer International School Bangalore, Hopetown Girls School Dehradun, among others.”

    The magnitude of energy and enthusiasm we saw in the students has motivated us to conduct another internship program soon enough. Our motive of inclusion and innovation in high school education seems closer after this internship program. We are grateful to all our students, parents, and event partners for making this happen and contributing to building the future of our nation.
