November 11: Techspian began its journey in June 2020 with 8 team members working passionately with the growth vision. Within a month of incorporation, they bagged their first project in the travel domain. In two years, Techspian grew to a team of more than 150 members of technologists and product champions that help many businesses in their technology transformation.

The founding team dreamt of creating a learning organization. However, the virtual ecosystem brought many challenges to the table. Techspian set to re-invent the entire learning path at the organization. It required building capabilities and redesigning the learning path with technology at its core, since finding and retaining the talent was tough initially. However, the core team shaped the talent strategy by:

• Developing a learning culture – by hiring the curious people
• Identifying the talent gaps – by building the skill matrix
• Upskilling the workforce – by initiating Learning Bytes (L&D program)

“Our USP is our TEAM that is always ready to challenge the status quo and ensure we provide meaningful solutions to business problems. Our strategy – Learn, Evolve, and Scale gives us the confidence to deliver the business value.” – Sameer Lodha (CEO – Techspian)

The company caters to more than 15 clients (as of Oct 2022) with globally disbursed teams. With customer segmentation in the US, Canada, Europe, and MENA regions.

It saw a revenue increase of 600% in the last two years. Set the record for rapid hiring done during the pandemic. With a year-on-year growth of 160%, the team moved into a new office to accommodate the strength of 100+ employees working in a hybrid workplace. Under the leadership of Sameer Lodha (CEO & Co-founder) and Amol Raut (CIO & Co-founder), the company bagged multiple long-term contracts worth millions of dollars.

The employee strength grew into a community of tech lovers building a diverse culture that is bound to see only growth ahead.

Techspian works with small to enterprise-level companies with four Centers of Excellence:

1. Platform Engineering
2. Mobility
3. Al & ML
4. Cloud Services

All-in-all, the focus is on niche technology needs of the modern world like cloud, data science, and automation.

Moreover, it has proven expertise in providing mobile app development services. For instance, one of its travel domain clients was looking for a quick solution to develop a mobile application for the iOS and Android platforms. They used the hybrid mobile development framework – Apache Cordova. It empowered them to write code once, then efficiently run it on multiple platforms. This decision enabled the swift delivery of the project without compromising the quality. The app helps users to book business travel with ease.

Currently, their mobility team is working on an eCommerce platform for fruits and vegetables. The solution aims to help farmers deliver fresh produce from the farm to consumers within a day.

Three reasons that set them the grounds for success and unprecedented opportunities:

• A team of exceptional individuals with varied development experience
• Sticking to the project timelines
• Cost-effective in terms of other service providers in the market

Beyond their skills and results, the most significant way Techspian sets its brand apart is by creating a seamless, one-of-a-kind experience that gets people talking, builds trust, and creates loyal customers. Website – techspian.com

India’s first and only Deuterium depleted drink

Mumbai, 11^th November 2022: Star Impex Beverages, a globally known, homegrown brand with a legacy of 35 years, launches CANCRO, a revolutionary product in the field of medical therapy. CANCRO is the only Deuterium Depleted Drink in India,  2nd in Asia and perhaps one of the six brands worldwide to enter the depleted drink segment.

Over the years, medical research has shown that decreasing the level of Deuterium in the tissues and organs is a natural biological process. However, the body’s ability to deplete Deuterium decreases as we get older, sick, and get less exercise or sunlight. The water we typically consume has a higher Deuterium level of 165 ppm, whereas CANCRO water has depleted Deuterium levels below 125 ppm. A lower Deuterium level helps improves immunity, prevents disease, improves mental health, helps treat diabetes, heart disease, thalassemia and cancer, increases energy levels and enhances Athletic performance & injury recovery.

With this in mind, Arsh Mehta conceptualised the brand in 2018 as he noticed a gap and an opportunity in the Beverage space compared to other international brands. His assessment at the time was that no particular Deuterium Depleted water brand was available in the Indian market had practical health benefits and quality, which set him on a journey to introduce India’s first and only Deuterium-depleted drink – a bottle of water with a positive impact on one’s health.

The brand’s main objective is to provide health benefits for its consumers, and they’ve introduced the product with proper R&D before its launch. 

Arsh Mehta commented on the launch,” We wanted to create something sustainable for everyday use and contribute to the betterment of the world. So we’ve made CANCRO in 100% recyclable food-grade PET bottles of good quality that encourage recycling. We’ve also made the pricing much more affordable than the other brands available in the international market. Our main aim at CANCRO is to help prevent and treat tumorous diseases, slow down skin ageing processes, and treat other skin issues, for example, psoriasis. The most important part is, consuming Deuterium-depleted drinks helps increase the expected survival time of cancer Patients.” 

Along with the R&D department, they’ve incorporated Curcumin extracts & Iodine extracts into the water which provides great health benefits.

CANCRO is available for in a pack of 2 for INR 360 and a pack of 6 for INR 999 on their website, http://www.cancrodrink.com/.

In addition to this you can also purchase the product from platforms Amazon, Flipkart, and Jio Mart, and more.
