    Bridging this gap is Aviakul Aviation Academy, a brainchild of aviation enthusiasts. With zeal to create a self-reliant Aerospace ecosystem, Aviakul elegantly leads the phenomenal transformation of aerospace and aviation, imbibing global outreach.

  • Indian corporate employees facing increasing burnout at work post-pandemic

    Mumbai, July 27: Stress and hypertension have increasingly become a serious cause of concern, and in the context of a global pandemic, they cannot be neglected at any cost. Working professionals and corporate employees are most affected by these issues, impacting their mental and physical health along with their productivity and performance at work. The dire effects of stress and hypertension are being aggravated due to the new work-from-home lifestyle, the sedentary lifestyle, and the high work pressure that come with it. The blurring of lines between work and personal life has also taken a toll on the mental health of the working professionals.

    Dr. Bhavna Diyora, Ayurveda Doctor Preventive Health Consultant, Nutritionist and Panelist, and GALF highlights the importance of wellness for the performance of an organization and suggests action-based sessions for tackling stress and hypertension, including yoga sessions, deep muscle stretching, and so on. She has conducted many sessions with corporates, providing the most effective behavioural interventions to achieve optimum wellness. “Being part of team GALF, we have been conducting preventive health sessions for corporate employees. We would always emphasize identifying all the aspects of wellness and then work towards it. The balance in all factors of wellness would lead to a balanced life and hence optimum health”, she says.

    Roshitha Girish, Hatha Yoga Specialist and Panellist at GALF, points out the efficacy of yoga in lowering blood pressure and stress and conducts wellness sessions for corporates that focus on both mental and physical aspects of the body, using asanas like Balasana (child’s pose) Setubandasana (Bridge Pose) and many others to lower the impact of stress. She goes on to add, “Taking short breaks away from the desk/ away from the screen, stretching at regular intervals and having conversations with fellow employees helps in reducing built-up stress levels.”

    The busy schedule of corporate employees may lead them to neglect their mental and physical health, and Sonia Coutinho, Holistic Wellness Specialist, and Panellist at GALF suggests the importance of lifestyle changes to manage stress, and also the importance of corporates collaborating with fitness ecosystems like GALF. “It is important to equip corporate organizations with the tools and the consultancy to ensure that their employees are taken care of overall mind, body & spirit. Corporates can ensure holistic wellness & in turn more productivity from their teams,” she says. Mr. Kapil Udaiwal, Chief People Officer, Ageas Federal Life Insurance, understands the importance of wellness and writes that the work-from-home lifestyle is “causing poor physical and mental health with rising cases of hypertension, diabetes, weight gain, insomnia, and a host of other ailments.” They have tackled these issues with interventions such as ‘Employee Well-being and Assistance Programme’, through which “we have encouraged our employees to tele-consult with professional counsellors if required. We have also sent out a ‘Guide to Work from Home’ handbook with best practices on adapting to this ‘new normal’ including maintaining work-life balance; focus on health and emotional wellness, and ways to improve work productivity.”

    Dr. Srinivas Dinesh Kudva, a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, advises that it is the basics that we need to change and work on. “With every pinch of added salt to your diet, you are increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and loss of vision. Along with medications and control on your diet, regular exercise and meditation also helps reduce your blood pressure” he says. So next time you reach out to grab a ‘pinch ‘of salt to sprinkle onto your foods, he says, “remember, that it’ll taste good, but you’ll ‘Feel the pinch’ later”

    Amit Vasistha, Founder and CEO, GALF acknowledges that corporates are waking up to this reality and paying more attention to their worker’s mental and physical health, and realising the importance of creating healthy and positive work environment. This is precisely what GALF assists with, as it is a holistic wellness aggregator covering all crucial aspects of holistic wellness including mental, emotional, physical, nutritional, social, and financial. “Every company worth their might is now eager to offer employee wellbeing as a key value proposition,” he says.

  • Youngsters Launch Sash Hair Care Products Using Ancient Wisdom, Attract Applause from Customers

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 27: The natural product market in India has always been a topic of discussion among the crowds. While some dismiss it as pseudoscience, others are all praise for ancient wisdom and its capability to deliver the best results. Drugstore shelves and e-commerce websites are full of products that claim to give you shiny hair and flawless skin. However, it is often a challenge to identify the right product.

    This is a story of 2 teenagers who identified the need for high-quality, chemical-free products that tackle hair fall issues. They believed in the power of nature and came up with Sash products. Talking about the challenges they faced in their journey, they say that the primary struggle was to come up with a formulation that adhered to the latest American dermatological indications. Supritha Ramesh, Director of the Sash Products online platform says, “We wanted to answer the naysayers with research, not mere anecdotes. We wanted the backing of global standards so our product could be the best of modern research as well as ancient wisdom.” Sohan Shankar, Director, Sash Products agrees and talks about the extensive 8-month long research that Supritha undertook. She started by identifying the root cause of hair problems. She specially accounted for youth and their hair troubles due to poor lifestyles and stress. Supritha also talks about multiple hits and trials that she had to attempt to come up with the perfect recipe. ‘We wanted the products to be superior in quality yet affordable,” says Sohan.

    Their desire to manufacture the best-quality products led them to source organic and cruelty-free ingredients from the Himalayas and interiors of Central Asia. They chose the ingredients, keeping in mind the nutritional requirements of the scalp. They enable natural hair growth. Important parameters influencing the choice of raw materials include pH values, viscosity, and specific gravity to aid better absorption of oil in the scalp. This helps maintain good hair health.

    Now that is a perfect story of exemplary passion and entrepreneurial pursuits. Two youngsters without a formal education, just a goal, and persistence created a brand that is now being preferred over old and established products in the market. Customers are loving Sash products and also offering amazing yet constructive feedback. “This feedback makes us confident that we are on the right path and also gives us the opportunity to identify areas of improvement,” says Supritha who is currently pursuing a bachelor’s in the medical field. She chose the field to understand human anatomy better and come up with better formulations of products. Comprehensive medical knowledge and exceptional business skills are helping Supritha run this business and deliver satisfactory outcomes to her customers.

    The past year that Sash products have been in existence, bears testimony to high-quality research and commitment that young entrepreneurs have invested in their brand.

    These products are available across India through their website sashproduct.com. Most customers have reported outstanding results and significant improvement in their hair quality after only a few applications.

  • Bloomers launches Colours Cosmetics – a new brand of drugstore make up in India

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 24: Bloomers has come up with amazing news for makeup enthusiasts in India. This can be safely termed as a revolution in the space of drugstore brands. They are launching an indie brand, Colours Cosmetics that will serve the customers through local pharmacies and marts. This looks like a promising avenue for makeup lovers because the brand aims to offer a wide range of products encompassing everything from foundations to lipsticks.

    They aim to bust the misconception that drug store makeup is low in price and inferior in quality.

    The estimated value of the cosmetic market in India was USD 13191.23 Million in FY2020. However, many people are still not comfortable splurging exorbitant amounts on luxury brands. Rightly so; when you can get similar results and quality in drugstore brands, it is only wise to choose affordability over the luxury tag. What is more? These brands are easily available at your local pharmacy and supermarkets.

    However, it is often a challenge to determine which brands offer great value in addition to the attractive price tag. Most makeup consumers are on the hunt for a drugstore brand that prioritizes the needs of the customers and offers quality similar to high-end brands. Despite the existence of multiple cosmetic brands, there is a gap in the market. Only a few brands can cater to the needs of the industry. If industry experts are to be believed, the launch of Colours Cosmetics may help bridge this gap.

    Moreover, Colours cosmetics is already creating a buzz with its selection of high quality, well-researched and effective beauty ingredients. These ingredients are gentle to the skin and work to improve its quality. The manufacturers have taken all skin tones into account and come up with a shade card that includes almost all hues from the colour wheel. Now that is a brand that the cosmetic industry needs. High-quality products, gentle ingredients, superior effects, affordable prices, and an inclusive approach.

    Rumors have been doing rounds that their social media handles are flooding with messages enquiring about the next product drop. Well, whenever that will be, we hope it exceeds the expectations users have pinned on them. It is time for us to wait and watch if this will be the next revolution in the beauty industry.

  • ‘Clear regulatory guidelines around crypto can boost investor sentiment.’

    New Delhi [India], July 24: At a time when more people are learning about crypto assets and investing in them, clear regulatory guidelines around virtual currencies will boost investor sentiment, said industry experts.

    “At Zebpay, we have seen over five times increase (year-on-year) in the number of users from last years. This is despite the lack of clear regulation around crypto,” said Avinash Shekhar. Co-CEO at ZebPay.

    “Innovations are happening around crypto worldwide. India has the potential to take a leading role and build the next trillion-dollar companies. Banking support and clear regulations can accelerate this process and let domestic entrepreneurs play a leading role in the development of this technology,” he said.

    Crypto exchange WazirX witnessed 18,900% growth in volume ever since the Supreme Court quashed the banking ban in March 2020. It currently clocks a monthly volume of $6.2 billion with a user of over six million, showed data from the company.

    “With approximately 1.5 crore Indians holding crypto assets, crypto is still in the early stage of the technology breakout,” said Nischal Shetty, CEO, and founder at WazirX. “Today’s crypto valuations are based on the fact that crypto has only 3% of the internet population. There’s a huge number of people waiting to enter this space.”

    On the prevailing regulatory uncertainties and lack of regulatory framework, Siddhart Acharya, a leading litigating lawyer practicing in the Supreme Court of India, Delhi high court, and Delhi district courts, said, India has a massive talent pool and blockchain and cryptocurrency can be regulated while functioning seamlessly only when the regulators have a bullish approach on the potential on the crypto.

    On the recent developments, Siddhart Acharya said. The Reserve Bank of India came up with a clarification dates May 3, 2021, titled “Customer Due Diligence for transactions in Virtual Currencies” in order to classify its stand on the infamous circular of 6th April 2021 which was declared ultra-vires by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Internet and Mobile Association v/s Reserve Bank of India case.

    “It was clarified that banks can no longer cite the circular on virtual currencies in case of their refusal to offer such products to customers and that the lenders must adhere to local rules, which are quite exclusionary,” said Siddhart Acharya. “The Central Bank, in its circular dated 6th April 2018, had prohibited banks from dealing in cryptocurrencies or offering related services to customers. The legality of cryptocurrency is an aspect which needs to be carefully understood as there is a difference between being banned and unregulated.”

    Companies dealing in virtual currencies are seeing a large influx of users that are not just trying out trading but also exploring bitcoin SIP, other products, trying decentralized products, researching more about tokens, according to Gaurav Dahake, founder & CEO at Bitbns.

    “We expect clear guidelines from regulators which would help the investor sentiment get better as they would feel protected. The regulatory agencies have been forthcoming and studying how other countries are doing it,” said Gaurav Dahake.

    The way forward, said Siddhart Acharya, is that “There is a need for banks and financial institutions to be more agile and understand the requirements of the market.
    The banks must lend support to the virtual currencies and adopt transparent and efficacious ways to conduct their due diligence. The notification n no way is a signal that the regulatory agency would exercise leniency towards the virtual currency and not much can be gathered from it but there is definitely an indication that it would consider reassessing the situation and potentially recommend constituting a new study group to formulate further strategies,”

  • The Next Wave of Content Marketing Strategy 2021

    New Delhi [India], July 22: With the first, second, and now speculations of the third wave of the pandemic hitting on our doors, the businesses have no option but to function digitally for survival. And the most important aspect of a strong digital presence is CONTENT.

    Content has always been the KING, and under no circumstances, it is going to pass on the rule to any other technique. Content marketing strategies have been evolving with time and change is the law of nature. It is always the survival of the fittest and if you want to survive, you need to keep updating and evolving.

    “The building, its infrastructure, and design might keep changing; however, the base remains the same. Similarly, the way how content is being used may keep evolving, however, the importance of content remain constant,” says Prakash Mishra, Founder, and CEO of Drive Digital and DigiHunts Academy. The term “New Wave” may seem daunting, not particularly in this case. With “New normal” establishing our daily routines, Prakash Mishra gives insights about the next wave of content marketing strategy 2021.

    Why You Need a New Content Marketing Strategy

    The next wave of content marketing strategy is all about creating an agile strategy. Your strategy should be able to make smart and fast moves, produce a high level of content, publish it when, where, and how it is required. The post-pandemic marketing period focuses on the change in consumer behaviour. The rule – “Be where your customer is” has mended a little. The new rule is – “Be where your customer is and give what they need.”

    Google Certified Market Researcher and Digital Marketing strategist, Prakash Mishra, talks about why you need a new content marketing strategy in 2021.

    1.    Build Communities:

    With the focus on personalised marketing in the post-pandemic era, building a community with the help of your content is going to take your business to next level. Even with limited resources, building content communities can help expand your reach.

    2.    Live Webinars and Videos:

    With events taking the virtual form, the best way to share your content and create brand awareness is going live on social media channels, sharing videos, and organising live webinars. It is a good way of educating the audience about your company, share emotional experiences with them, hear their needs and build a personalised relation with your audience.

    3.    Improve Content Experience:

    Just like the user experience on the website, it is important to provide a good content experience as well. Imagine what impact it will leave on the audience if the moment they land on your blog page and they are hit by pop-ups, ads and they leave. The point here is, the user experience with the content is as important as how the content is interacting with the audience.

    4.    Use AI-Powered Content:

    The rise of AI content has been in the talks for quite some time now. Content strategists are using AI-based tools like Contentyze, API GPT-3 to create powerful and optimized content. These tools analyse the data, create captions and summaries, and also write up full content. AI-powered content is the next big thing and you should start planning from now to reap its benefits in the future.

    Include these trends in your content marketing strategy for 2021 to stay a step ahead of your competitors and be the fittest to survive in the already saturated world,” says Prakash Mishra.
