The film informs consumers that this is where St. Botanica’s Moroccan Argan range comes into play.

  • Telematics goes Chip-less, powered by Damoov

    Telematics goes Chip-less, powered by Damoov

    Read Time:2 Minute, 54 Second

    New Delhi (India), April 23: Telematics has become an integral part of the automobile and fleet industry, especially with the recent boom in transportation mobility and gig economy. It is an essential management tool now for industries that require constant monitoring of vehicles and drivers. However, the post covid-19 global chip shortage has immensely impacted the traditional chip based telematics solutions, forcing companies to look for alternate solutions.  This has led to an accelerated interest in building smartphone based Telematics applications. Damoov, is one of the pioneering companies that is helping firms take their telematics solution “mobile”.

    Telematics has proved to be a game-changer in the US &  Western countries where the automobile industry puts a lot of emphasis on safe driving. It also finds enormous applications in the insurance industry, particularly in the ‘smart insurance’ section, where the premium depends on how you drive.  Driver Monitoring Services from the brand helps food service apps track their delivery partners’ real-time location. Parents can also make use of the product to check teenagers’ driving habits.

    Building smartphone telematics softwares or adding telematics feature to a software is a complex task requiring specific skillset and months (and sometimes years) of Developer time. Even if a company manage to build an in-house mobile telematics solution, it will face high maintenance costs as Android and iOS frequently change rules how they provide access to smartphone sensors data.

    To overcome the development challenges, there was a strong need for companies to come up with ready to configure solutions for telematics.

    Damoov, as a revolutionary domain player, is doing just that. It is changing the dynamics of the telematics industry with its cutting-edge suite of Telematics APIs and SDKs that turns any smartphone into a powerful telematics device. Using Damoov various companies from industries like Auto, Fleet Management & Insurance are bringing down development time from Years to days. This helps companies bring down maintenance and R&D cost by up to 70%.

    Damoov’s success it’s not just due to the convenience that it brings to developers. Technologically, Damoov is superior to the existing solutions -making it a win-win deal for customers.

    For example, one of the significant issues faced by telematics apps is, keeping them on at all times to record data. This puts massive stress on the mobile’s battery and causes mobile users to refrain from using them. Damoov’s telematic suite allows apps to run in the background and automatically recognize and record driving activities. This way, it records data while saving the battery from any additional stress.

    Ivan Shornikov, CEO & Founder of Damoov, believes that their telematics-based APIs and SDKs will eventually become a default requirement for building any mobile applications designed for drivers and gig-workers. “Consider how solutions like Stripe and Razorpay have eased the development time for payment solutions. You don’t try and build your own solution today – Damoov will play a similar role for Telematics”, says Shornikov.

    Despite being a startup, Damoov’s quick success is a result of their team’s sheer dedication, which boasts of over 100 years of combined leadership experience in the telematics industry. Their vision to become a default solution for mobile developers for integrating tracking-based features has brought them funding from the investment giants likes of Alchemist Accelerator and StartaVC.  Damoov is now expanding its operations to the US, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Japan, Singapore and India.

  • Contemporary Ayurved – Making ayurvedic practices a way of modern living

    Contemporary Ayurved – Making ayurvedic practices a way of modern living

    Read Time:3 Minute, 33 Second

    Sanyog and kapil

    April 25: Blue Nectar is a journey of discovery and innovation of two enthusiastic IIT-IIM graduate duo. They loved traditions. Yet they didn’t believe in blind faith. Their love for tradition and disregard for blind faith created a paradox that made Sanyog and Kapil embark on a journey that resulted in the creation of Blue Nectar in 2017.

    Troubled with Weight Problem, a common issue of the millenniums, Kapil had visited Panchakarma centre in Chennai in 2008 when he was based there. To his shock, the Panchakarma centre asked him to drink one ltr of Ghee to detoxify as the first step to lose weight. The concept of drinking Ghee for detox was out of his thought realm, but that experience did create enough intrigue to explore more into Ayurvedic Sciences.

    This experience offered a challenge to present something more palatable and acceptable to the younger millennials. This, along with the urge to make Ayurvedic practices more acceptable, led the two to leave their cushy MNC jobs. While Kapil had a decade of experience with GSK, Sanyog, a fellow believer in Ayurveda, had worked across continents with Cognizant technologies. Together they started their 1st Blue Terra Wellness Spa in 2010.

    Blue Terra Wellness centre offered traditional Ayurvedic techniques like Nadi Vidya, Panchkarma to heal lifestyle disorders. While the guests benefitted from the various therapies, they preferred less greasy and nicer-smelling Ayurvedic oils. Initially, All Ayurvedic therapies were done on a hard wooden bed in Blue Terra centres. As winter approached in Gurgaon, customers started complaining of cold hard beds!

    Not being one to disappoint customers, they started looking for ways to contemporize Ayurved. This led to Kapil and Sanyog working with Ayurvedic doctors and researching on Charak Samhita (Ayurveda traditional book) to formulate less greasy and aromatic Ayurvedic Oils. They also implemented other innovative ways to make hard wooden beds mildly soft and comfortable, contemporary Steam and Shower experience with state-of-the-art fittings etc.

    This was the beginning of the concept of contemporary Ayurved – to make Ayurved more adaptable. Making Ayurved a science of choice and lifestyle, rather than being relied on at times of disease or pandemic, became the motto of Kapil and Sanyog.

    The first set of products was made on customers’ special requests who could not regularly visit for therapies. As these customers had found the oils to be effective, they wanted to continue the application in the comfort of their homes.

    Very soon, appreciation and recommendation started pouring for the oils, and demand started increasing. Customers started coming to the Spa via word of mouth, especially to purchase the oils and not the spa services. That is when the first avatar of Blue Nectar products formally started in the form of Oils and green tea.

    What started with 4-5 products that were used in Blue Terra Spa – Pain Oils, Aromatic Massage Oils, Green Tea, Face creams in 2017 has extended to 80+ different products across four categories in the convenience of Jars and bottles that one can use with ease.

    Blue Nectar originated with the firm belief that Nature holds all answers and cures, and our body has the best ability to heal and nourish itself.

    Blue Nectar has reconceptualized the world of beauty and wellness, presenting plush, lovable, and effective products. Each product has been carefully crafted and designed to have natural hedonistic aromas, silky smooth textures and exquisite packing to transform you into a sensuous world of Luxury.

    With the use of more than 150 quality herbs, we can proudly claim that Blue Nectar products have a High Herb Quotient. The Herb Quotient of a product helps to quickly identify the number of pure active herbs contained in a product and give an indication of its effectiveness.

    To further add to this, products are free from harmful chemicals, preservatives and mineral oils. All ingredients on the packaging are displayed, helping a customer to make informed decisions.

    The products have also undergone clinical testing to corroborate their effectiveness and are being shipped worldwide.

    “Traditions are good. We need to revive and contemporize them”, says Kapil and Sanyog on their mission to make Ayurvedic practices a way of modern living.
