~Partner to launch Ready Steady Go Kids in India under the leadership of former Australian cricket team head coach Mr. John Buchanan~ 

India, 13^th October 2022: Roo Sports International (RSI) Australia, and The Sports Gurukul (TSG) India join hands to launch Ready Steady Go Kids (RSGK) in India. The sports program is scientifically designed for children aged one-and-a-half to six years to help instil values of fitness and discipline at a grass root level.

Sports play an integral role in the physiological and cognitive development of children of all age groups. Additionally, studies have shown that involvement in sports and physical activities is integral to balance stress levels, which have increased ten-fold in today’s day and age. Socially too, participation in sports help develop the required interpersonal skills and team spirit, alongside boosting self-esteem and confidence from a young age. RSGK is therefore a unique initiative which shall enable holistic growth and development for children that partake in it under the guidance of Mr. John Buchanan.

Served as the head coach of the Australian Cricket Team from 1999 to 2007, Mr. Buchanan is involved in the administration of RSGK program. With thirty years of experience as a Peak Performance Coach in sports as well as business industries, his perspective has been crucial in designing the sports curriculum to strike the right balance between fun and discipline. Under his leadership, RSGK brings to India the Australian perspective on sports lifestyle, breaking the Indian stereotypes around sports education and training for children in schools.

The partnership between RSI and TSG is paving way towards a new chapter on sports education in India that fosters multi-faceted benefits. Commenting on their partnership, Mr. John said, “To grow and scale the franchised program, it is essential that we partner with a reliable and respected Indian business. We have found this in The Sports Gurukul. Their Co-founder Mr. Jay Shah are as excited as we are to be able to partner to deliver such a unique, fun and fundamental program for the physical, emotional, psychological, social and health benefits for children aged between one-and-a-half and six”.

Set to launch in India across 5 centres in Mumbai and Vadodara, this program aims to build over 150+ franchisee-based programs across the country within the next five years with a special curriculum for training pre-school children. Moreover, any pre-school in the country can enhance their offerings by incorporating this program in their curriculum. RSI is open to work with pre-school chains, thereby making RSGK more accessible to their target groups – children and parents.

It is unfortunate that people in India fail to acknowledge the importance of sports in the holistic development of children, and the advantage of physical activity in the overall well-being of an individual of any age.  While this mindset is changing but it needs to change more rapidly for long term benefits for a child. According to studies conducted by government agencies, children in India are spending an average of 7.2 hours studying as opposed to 39 minutes of physical activity. Sharing thoughts on the scenario of Indian sports, Mr. Jay Shah, Co-founder of The Sports Gurukul and CEO of Ready Steady Go Kids India said, “A lack of sporting culture in our country is not due to lack of spaces or funds alone but more so essentially due to lack of ideas and initiatives from people”.

Since the last 10 years, The Sports Gurukul (TSG) has been working to spread awareness about importance of sports and physical education in the country by working with schools across India. By providing education, training, and management pertaining to sports in schools and colleges across 50cities in India, TSG is committed to take sports to the next level. As RSI’s partner for Ready Steady Go Kids India, TSG strives to highlight the Indian sports heritage as well. Therefore, the program will incorporate indigenous games and exercises including Yoga, Kabaddi, and Kho Kho in addition to ten other sports activities which are a part of the international curriculum. “This program is unique and completes that lack of a quality program for age groups one-and-a-half to six years which helps children develop motor abilities through sports skills”, Mr. Jay added.

Ready Steady Go Kids is supported by Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ-Queensland government) and aids RSI’s mission to cater to the needs of children from a tender age and expand their market internationally. Mr. Abhinav Bhatia, Senior Trade & Investment Commissioner-South Asia at TIQ said, “It’s exciting to see top quality sports training and education coming over from Australia to India. These programs ensure the children’s physical, social, emotional, and psychological well-being. John and his team have a deep understanding of using sports as the teaching medium, and Jay’s team has an excellent network in India. That is why I am very proud of the work my team did in facilitating this partnership. This engagement also aligns well as Brisbane gears up for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.” 

Almost thirty percent of India’s population is under the age of fourteen years, and sports education is the one effective tool that brings together children from different socio-economic backgrounds and cultivate their holistic development.

October 13: Nesa Medtech, a medical device startup, has developed a novel scar-less solution for treating symptomatic uterine fibroids. It is the result of extensive research for many years. The procedure involves shrinking the fibroids using thermal energy performed under patented real-time image guidance and navigation system.

Medication is the first line of treatment; unfortunately, it is effective only in a small subset, i.e., less than 25% of cases. This makes the various surgical procedure the solution to treat fibroids. Unfortunately, hysterectomy, i.e., removal of the uterus, is the most common solution. This procedure is considered a major surgery that needs a long recovery time, usually a few weeks and has very high morbidity.  

There is a huge clinical need for an alternative to the current surgical method that significantly reduces the risks associated with the remedy of uterine fibroids. This is where the Nesa Medtech solution comes in. The scar-less solution promotes quicker recovery, has no surgical infection risk, and preserves the uterus.  

Sreekar Kothamachu, the Founder & CEO of Nesa Medtech, has more than 15 years of experience in the field. He realized uterine fibroids are significantly reducing women’s quality of life. He says, “The socio-economic burden of the problem is a much bigger problem than breast and cervical cancer.” This led Sreekar and his team to look for an efficient, safe, and scar-less solution. This revolutionary scar-less solution would help women with symptomatic fibroids recover quickly and preserve the uterus. 

Nesa Medtech is a proud alumnus of various global accelerator programs such as Medtech Innovator, Mass Medic Ignite, and, recently, M2D2 Impact. Although Nesa Medtech feels highly honored by the support coming their way, they understand the actual recognition is to be able to transform women’s health globally.

New Delhi [India], October 12: India has fairly large military inventory/asset. Asset acquisition is one thing but keeping them serviceable and combat ready is a bigger challenge, especially so in times when spares, components and technology supply lines have been affected due to various reasons. Indian defence forces have equipment and platforms from multiple sources hence it is becoming even more important to find indigenous solutions.

With Govt. of India’s thrust on ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vis-a-vis current environment and ecosystem, great opportunities have arisen for MSMEs to build their capabilities to meet future challenges in the Defence MRO sector.

Talking about the importance of home-grown MRO capabilities for the Indian Defence Sector, Vice Adm Paras Nath (Retd) AVSM, VSM, Group President, Crown Group Defence said “As a nation with multiple security challenges and huge defence assets, indigenization and innovation is a paramount national and strategic necessity which can provide timely service to the Indian Defence forces and possibly at much lower costs. The current environment and threat perception necessitates that our industry gears up to the new activities.”

“Make in India is a critical national necessity in defence sector which will pay very rich dividend for the country in times to come. Sooner than later our friendly neighbors will look up to MSMEs for MRO in defence sector making India a Defence MRO hub.” Said Cmde Rakesh Anand (Retd.), Head of Marine Division, Crown Group Defence.

Crown Group Defence with a legacy of more than four decades which has established itself as India’s leading defence MRO major, providing critical services to Indian Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard through its various Group companies is again at the forefront to meet the recent Defence MRO requirements.

“Over the years the Indian defence forces have made substantial investment in acquiring mission critical military assets both from Western and Eastern origin. It is imperative to have indigenous capabilities to maintain these equipment for truly being Atmanirbhar in Defence. Indigenous MRO activities further enhance the technical capabilities paving the way for R&D and manufacturing”, said Mr. Vikas Banga, Crown Group’s Chief Strategy Officer.

“Leading the way in making India self-reliant in defence MRO & manufacturing, Crown Group Defence is establishing indigenous MRO & manufacturing facilities and forging technological tie-ups with international OEMs to provide critical services to Indian armed forces as their service & supply partner.” Mr. Banga, further added.

Crown Group’s core competency lies in its technical and professional team. Crown Group is one of the very few companies to have Ex-servicemen (ESM) from Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard right from the top level to mid & ground level bringing their years of valuable experience. “We strongly believe in harnessing the core competence of ex-servicemen. Our manpower is the best one can have.” Said Adm Paras Nath.

“Moto of Crown Group Defence is to “Serve the Nation” by partnering with our defence forces to provide quality support. The Group has opened its MRO & manufacturing facilities to international companies to partner and leverage its facilities and capabilities for setting up MRO & manufacturing base in the country, keeping abreast with the ‘Make in India’ strategy, thereby leading to reduced timeframes for repair and enhanced operational availability of assets.” Said Cmde Rakesh Anand.

“Keeping with government’s focus on promoting self-reliance in defence manufacturing and positioning India as an exporter of military hardware, Crown Group’s focus is on indigenization through both ties up with international OEMs and in-house research and development.” Cmde Rakesh Anand further added.

With one of the largest facilities in Karwar, which is Asia’s biggest Defence Naval Base, to undertake mechanical and electro-mechanical repairs primarily for the Indian Navy, Crown Group has set up two facilities catering to Defence Aerospace MRO and Avionics repairs, including an NABL accredited calibration laboratory in Goa, an electronics facility in Mumbai where they are doing repairs of complex weapon equipment, electronic modules and manufacturing of PCBs, in addition to two ship repair workshops in Chennai and Vizag.

New Delhi, October 12: ClientVenue, a resource and client management SaaS platform for marketing agencies, raised $100K in seed funding from SaaS startup accelerator cum investor Upekkha. ClientVenue raised the funds through its parent company “Target, Inc.” which is registered in Delaware, US.

With these funds, ClientVenue has planned to push for aggressive growth in the US market, and the funds will be used towards scaling up the existing team which includes Marketing, Sales, Technology, etc.

It’s an all-in-one suite for helping marketing agencies manage their workflows, ClientVenue has already scaled to over 100+ agencies in India and caters to over 550+ agency companies from across the world.

Most marketing agencies face a major problem in the adoption & customization of any software platform, as their workflows are very different and dynamic in nature. Commonly available project management platforms are very generic and complex and with less valuable feature sets.

Mr. Kirti Prakash and Mr. Raman Parashar, founders of ClientVenue, said, “It all started when one of our friends, who run a sales agency, reached out to us to build a customized solution for him. Since we are already in the SaaS space for the last 6+ years so it was a no-brainer for us, and we launched the platform within 3 months, in May’21. Later on, we talked to over 120+ agency owners and found that everyone faces similar problems with their client deliverables, reporting, team management, etc. Those interviews also helped us deeply customize the platform for these agencies.”

There are over 40000 marketing agencies in the US alone, and this list is ever-growing since every big company outsources some part of their marketing work to these agencies. Sensing a massive opportunity in this area, ClientVenue founders started building a customized solution for these firms and launched the platform in the mid of 2021.

Kirti, who heads Marketing & Sales, said, “We are getting a lot of traction and generating 200% month-on-month growth. There are a lot of big US agencies who want to use our solution and our tech team is constantly working to customize the platform for them.”

October 12: SME and MSME contribution to India’s industrial and business landscape is significant. These have generally contributed to approximately 30% of India’s GDP over the years, though the Pandemic driven disruption saw a significant decrease in their share of India’s GDP (~26.8%). 

The Pandemic impacted the players in this sector significantly, with more than 67% of registered MSMEs ceasing operations for at least three months, and around 4% of all registered MSMEs faced permanent business closure (Source: MSME Website and Media Reports)

The ones who braved the disruption and survived the Pandemic now have an arduous task and mission ahead of them – The imperative to be Digital!

While India’s economic journey on digitalization began earnestly with the post-demonetization-led growth in Digital payments, the Pandemic accelerated and made it a necessary and sufficient condition for each business to be a digital business – large/ medium/ small, manufacturing or services and whether the business was brick and mortar or eBusiness prior to the Pandemic. 

ProcureGenie, an SME/ MSME focussed cloud driven Digital Supply Chain Marketplace – though a fledgling startup – born amidst the Pandemic, weathered the initial bottlenecks due to the Pandemic – specifically in arresting the Technology talent flight to a larger corporation. The aftermath of the Pandemic and the growth in Digital Business transactions validated the promoter Mr. Jayesh Chaudhary and Mr. Premal Vasavada’s business vision and proposition of “Making Digital SME/ MSME Ecosystem”. 

The Procure Genie Solution model is “Fit for SME/MSME” and “Plug and Play” Jumpstart architecture that enables SME/ MSME organizations to progressively embark upon the Digital Business journey with minimal effort while enabling them to mitigate the operational, execution and management challenges presented by traditional manual/ offline processes and procedures.

ProcureGenie is a modular maturity-driven model that provides a “One Platform” view and automates the whole supply management cycle, from requisitions to catalogues to sourcing to POs to deliveries to GST compliance and reconciliations. It also enables the on boarding of vendors and GST KYC. 

The results of ProcureGenie’s current customers in transitioning to the Digital Business model in terms of their ability to optimize the overall production/fulfillment and administrative expenses while improving their service levels and Fulfillment rates to their end customer organizations – many times large to global Indian conglomerates have been exemplary.

The words of an MSME Entrepreneur that count as one of the first and early adopters of the ProcureGenie Platform, “I was awed by what Social media platforms did for my personal connections, and now I see ProcureGenie helping my business to have a Global Digital presence – enabling opportunities not even visible in my traditional operations… it has given Second Life to my business and aspirations soaring” sums up the essence of how Digital Business platforms can provide the springboard to SME/ MSME – a Sector that virtually drives the global cogwheels of Indian Industrial sector.

Commenting on the launch, Avinash Raj, CEO, EventCart, said in a press statement: “Digitization has taken the world by storm.

Every business, whether it is B2B or B2c been B2G, has been digitized, and the only Industry which was left was the Event Industry. Through EventCart, we aim to redefine the way events are organized & executed in the country. While working in the event industry made me realize that there is a growing demand for small events, and yet, there are no serious players offering quality and affordable for small events.

They can also opt for and customize the offerings as per their requirement.

EventCart is the first hyperlocal Event subscription service in the country that will offer a world-class platform to these event service providers and help solve the key issues of discovery, flexibility, and fatigue.” For more details, visit https://eventcart.co.in/
