  • A birth defect in his spine and now a rare disease! 15-month old Nirvaan needs INR 17.5 cr to battle SMA

    A birth defect in his spine and now a rare disease! 15-month old Nirvaan needs INR 17.5 cr to battle SMA

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 20: When a child is born, it is an occasion of happiness for everyone around. Sadly for the Mumbai-based Menon family, the joy lasted only for moments until they realised their beloved son Nirvaan was born with a birth defect- Congenital Scoliosis. Later during tests, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder- Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) – Type 2. This deadly disease has taken away his ability to eat, walk or breathe. The family has joined hands with the crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru.com and is raising INR 17.5 crores for their son’s treatment.

    Nirvaan suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type-2, and his condition is progressive, which means that with each passing day, his condition worsens. To help him battle this disorder, the gene therapy that shows hope is Zolgensma. To avail of this therapy, the child should be within the age limit of 2 years. Hence, it is necessary to fight against the clock and save Nirvaan’s life.

    “Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a disease we had never heard of, has held our child under its clutches. We are more than willing to take all steps and knock at all doors that can help our Nirvaan. Because INR 17+ crores is a huge amount for any middle-class family to afford, we cannot lose our beloved child. Every contribution made will help us give Nirvaan his childhood back,” said Sarang, Nirvaan’s father.

    What is SMA-2?

    Spinal Muscular Atrophy – Type 2 or SMA-2 is a genetic neuromuscular disorder that affects the nerve cells that control voluntary muscles (motor neurons). If not treated, the progressive muscles become weak and eventually restrict any muscular movement. Babies with SMA-2 can sit without support. However, they cannot walk or stand unassisted.

    The raised amount on Impact Guru, an online medical fundraising platform, will be used for Nirvaan’s ongoing treatment and dose of Zolgensma Therapy.

    The single highest donation received on the crowdfunding campaign in INR is approximately 1 crore. All details are mentioned in the fundraiser link: (https://www.impactguru.com/fundraiser/help-nirvaan-a-menon)

  • Mom-made with Love: Recipes on Life, Business, Enterprise-management cum motivational book dedicated to the lessons we learn from our first friend and foremost guru

    Mom-made with Love: Recipes on Life, Business, Enterprise-management cum motivational book dedicated to the lessons we learn from our first friend and foremost guru

    Authored by food entrepreneur and founder of Marrakesh Gaurav Gite (with Kalyani Sardesai)

    Proceeds of sales to go to charity

    Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 20: Think management and motivation, and the first images the terms conjure up would be business jargon, pie charts, graphs, figures and statistics-not to forget impressive speeches by coaches who seem to know it all!

    What if we argued that the very first and most enduring lessons in management-which frankly serve as the foundation in life, business and enterprise-come from home itself? Lessons that are timeless, boundless, fuss-free and uncomplicated!

    Thus, the book- Mom-Made with Love. Recipes on Life. Business. Enterprise. A management cum motivational book with a difference that celebrates the learnings we imbibe from our first friend and foremost guru—namely, mom.

    It is the brainchild of the award-winning Foodpreneur Gaurav Gite, the founder of the multi-city Quick Service Restaurant Lebanese/Indian chain Marrakesh and has been co-authored by journalist and writer Kalyani Sardesai who has served as the narrative partner.

    The book makes the case that most lessons worth remembering are learnt at our mothers’ knees in a simple and lucid manner by juxtaposing each life lesson with successful business case studies and research.

    “Whether you choose to look at it as a back-to-basics book or a road map for the way forward, we leave it to you,” says Gaurav Gite. “But here’s hoping every young person with a dream and a goal reads it.”

    Mumma-the best manager in the world

    Mom-Made is not only a dedication to Gaurav’s own mother, who gave him her life’s savings and full trust to initiate his brand, but it also serves as a gentle reminder to everyone of all that we owe to our mother.

    The one who not only gives us life but also teaches us how to live it. And yet, we underestimate her lessons on life, love, hospitality, relationships, time, and resource management and keeping it all together, when frankly, running a home (and often a career!) with limited resources and mounting demands is a superlative feat!

    “There is no coach or mentor who has been able to surpass the advice I have received from my mother, and I suspect this is the case with most others. But since Mumma doesn’t wear a spiffy business suit or spout jargon, we don’t pay attention. Honestly speaking, my personal journey would have been much smoother had I listened to her first, ” Gaurav Gite shares.

    Hence, this book. A tribute, a love letter and a long overdue apology to the wonder woman that is Mumma Gaurav and everyone else’s too!

    “The narration is deliberately fuss-free to emphasise how time-honoured simplicity is the answer to the chaos and complexities of our work and life, yes even in the era of Artificial Intelligence, Metaverse and Global challenges,” says Sardesai. “Each chapter is initially written in the first person weaving in Gaurav’s interactions with his own mother–and then moves on to instances from the world of hospitality, entrepreneurship, and service. From budding entrepreneurs to mid-career professionals to addressing relationship management, this is a book with a little takeaway for every reader.”

    Since this is the land of Adishakti, the Author’s note begins with a short note on her and then moves on to modern-day mothers who manage home, work and multiple roles with grace and efficiency. Frankly, no advisory house or entrepreneur can boast of a single hack that does not trace its origins back to lessons imbibed in childhood from their mom.

    Life lessons from mom

    The contents of the book include 21 life and management lessons from mom juxtaposed with successful business case studies and nuggets of research pertaining to that particular topic. So, from timeliness and patience to relationship management, banishing fear and the importance of consistency, the book showcases how the earliest lessons we learn from mumma are the cornerstone of successful business practices. In short, her lessons are not just sentimental and old-fashioned but the foundation of all practical good sense in business and enterprise.

    In keeping with the spirit of the book, the proceeds are pledged to charity.

    Also, in the book: roll call of famous celebrities and their moms.

    As page-breakers, different celebrities from different walks of life have been asked a simple question: What are the lessons you learnt from your mother? In some cases, celebrity mothers have spelt out the lessons they have taught their kids.

    Some of the names in the book include musical vocalist and composer Kailash Kher, Jaydeep Burman (founder of Rebel Foods), Ajay Menon (MD, Motilal Oswal), war hero Maj General Ian Cardozo, musician and film-makerAvadhoot Gupte, choreographer Sandeep Soparrkar, eco-warrior and industrialist Anand Chordia, Shantiswaroop Bhatnagar awardee and neuroscientist Shubha Tole, UAE based billionaire Dhananjay Datar, celebrated entrepreneur Yatin Shah (founder of the world’s largest camshaft manufacturing unit), Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna, chef Reetu Uday Kugaji, musician Raghav Sachar, actors Adil Hussain and Shruti Marathe, writer-translator-compere ManjiriDhamankar, Sumantai Kirloskar, the matriarch from the House of Kirloskars, sportsman Dhanraj Pillay, Olympic judge and entrepreneur ArnavazDamania and more.

    About the authors

    Foodpreneur Gaurav Gite is among the first to educate desi palates on the infinite possibilities of stylish shawarma and Lebanese cuisine under his flagship brand Marakkesh. Decorated with several awards, including the Maharashtra Young Achievers Award 2018  (Rising foodpreneur) and The Times Food & Nightlife Award 2019, Gaurav has a singular belief in the power of terrific food served with passion.

    Kalyani Sardesai is a Pune-based journalist, author, and corporate trainer.

    Mom-Made with Love is available on Amazon at Rs 595 and also on Kindle. But there’s an early bird discount for this week – Rs.495 and on Kindle Rs.99.

  • Clear Sound Launches a New Head Clinic in Heart of the Capital, Malviya Nagar

    Clear Sound Launches a New Head Clinic in Heart of the Capital, Malviya Nagar

    New Delhi (India), February 20: Clear Sound, the smart-hearing aid giant in Delhi NCR, has come out with a better and bigger head clinic in Malviya Nagar. Clear Sound provides advanced hearing aid services for adults and children with hearing imparities.

    Commencing the revolution that Clear Sound aims to bring, it has come a long way since 2010. With the help of state-of-the-art technology and experienced professionals, Clear Sound prioritizes the hearing aid experiences of adults and children.

    Stating the importance of curing hearing loss, Devkant Mishra, Founder and Director, Clear Sound quotes Helen Keller, ‘Blindness cuts us off from things, deafness cut us off from people’. He further states, “Hearing loss makes it difficult for a person to engage with their peers, which has an impact on their capacity to take part in social and professional interactions. It restricts opportunities for education and employment. It hinders a child’s ability to learn. Deafness is associated with cognitive impairment in elderly persons, which raises their risk for dementia and depressive disorders”.

    The right hearing solution is key to making you feel confident and connected to your life…

    Roping in Padma Shree Dr. Sunil Jogi as the brand ambassador of the brand, Clear Sound plans to bring hearing aids for every individual with hearing imparities. In India, the lack of professionals available in the field is a serious concern. Moreover, people fear visiting a hearing aid clinic thinking that aids would burn a hole in their pockets.

    Clear Sound has revolutionalized this concept by providing advanced rechargeable hearing aids at reasonable costs. Additionally, people can find digital hearing aids that are made to fit their lifestyle needs and price range. Their economical hearing aids give them a cornerstone over their competitors. These aids are created specifically for folks who lack the funds to buy high-end products but still desire higher sound quality than what is currently offered across the market.

    The new center is an added feather in its cap as it plans to bring innovation to the hearing care industry, which is still developing. “We have been experimenting with digital hearing aids solutions that are designed to enhance the way the brain processes sound information. Lately, we have come up with invisible hearing aids that make the wearer feel more confident without feeling embarrassed. With our bigger center, we are building on the latest technology available on the market”, Mishra further divulges.

    Committed to hearing excellence, Clear Sound has transformed the hearing aid experience for 20000+ people across Delhi NCR. Having an expert team of audiologists and speech therapists, Clear Sound Hearing & Speech Clinic is dedicated to providing personalized care to every adult or child having hearing imparities. The practice is committed to connecting patients with the best-fit solution for their hearing loss as quickly as possible.

  • India’s biggest IT challenge

    India’s biggest IT challenge

    The Great Indian Gap: Engineering curriculum Vs Job requirements

    New Delhi (India), February 19: It takes almost 9 months for an IT company to onboard an IT professional till they pick up the pace in their job roles. The education curricula lack the synergy to equip students with practical learning concepts.

    In spite of several IT & Computer Engineers graduating from universities every year, there is always a dearth of proficient IT talent that can handle client projects independently. Especially handling foreign clients.

    Niraj Gemawat, CEO and Founder of The Gateway Group, one of Gujarat’s biggest homegrown IT companies, says, “the problem can be summed up in simple words as a disparity in Learning Vs Doing. Any reduction in the gap will give the country considerable leverage in delivering IT solutions to the world.”

    Senior IT Professional Vilas Nagar says, “Local IT companies end up with huge investments and facing hefty loss recruiting and upskilling professionals. While star students from top universities get an opportunity at MNCs and leading corporates that offer huge packages and perks, local companies have at their disposal students who may or may not be very proficient and those from newly established engineering colleges. Additionally, there is a gap in soft skills, communication, and problem-solving. This gap needs to be honed if India is to take the lead in closing the IT staff deficit. While technical skills are important, these soft skills are becoming increasingly valued in the IT workforce.”

    “It is vital for educational institutions to adapt their curricula, keeping up pace with the changing needs of the IT Industry, in order to ensure that future employees are well-equipped to meet the demands of the job market. In fact, most universities’ curricula take years to update, while technology advances almost every day on this small planet,” Vilas adds.

    According to Dr. Nirav Bhatt, Head of the department at R.K. University, they have been trying their best to meet the industry requirements after talking with industry professionals and getting their feedback. However, working inside the classroom and on real-time projects are quite different to each other and require the student to grasp the new intellect required as they graduate from one level to another. In the current scenario, most companies train students at their cost for at least 6 months during the last semester of the curriculum. The students are able to work for the clients only once they successfully complete the training. “I have noted that students working with companies who service foreign clients, especially in the US and European countries, are able to gain more exposure and future growth,” he says.

    Gemawat, who leads Ahmedabad-based Software Engineering Company Gateway, which services 20 Global Fortune 500 clients through its offices and development centres in 30 countries, says, “to address these gaps, it will be important for the GenZ’s entering the workforce to continually invest in their education and skill development, as well as for employers to provide opportunities for training and professional development. Universities should try and work in close coordination with IT companies and explore more ways for students to get industry exposure from the time they complete two years of the curriculum.”

    Industry trends indicate one of the key areas that are likely to see a gap in the field of technology is artificial intelligence and machine learning. As these technologies become more widespread, there will be a growing demand for employees with advanced skills in these areas. This will require universities to update curricula more frequently.

    Another area where the skills gap may emerge is cybersecurity. As cyber threats continue to evolve, there will be a growing need for experts with advanced skills in protecting against these threats and responding to and mitigating the consequences of attacks.
