निःस्वार्थ सेवा का एक उदाहरण

इमो कम्युनिटी जिन्हें कुछ नौजवानों ने मिलकर स्थापित किया है, यह कम्युनिटी बहुत तेज़ी से विस्तारित हो रही है और देश के विकास तथा समाज को आर्थिक रूप से सक्षम बनाने की दिशा में बहुत ही सुदृढ़ रूप से अग्रसर है। यह प्रेस वक्तव्य जारी करते हुए इमो कम्युनिटी को सही दिशा में ले जा रहे इमो डाओ के इंडिया सेल्स हैड 23 वर्षीय बहु प्रतिभाशाली और उभरते प्रेरक वक्ता, दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय के स्नातक और युवा उद्यमी हर्षित जुनेजा ने इमो कम्युनिटी द्वारा की जा रही कल्याणकारी सामाजिक गतिविधियों के बारे में जानकारी दी। उन्होंने बताया कि इमो कम्युनिटी का उद्देश्य सिर्फ आर्थिक दृष्टिकोण नहीं है अपितु देश के नौजवानों में समाज कल्याण के प्रति जज्बा पैदा करना है जो किसी भी रूप में हो सकता है। उनके अनुसार किसी भी लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए पहली सीढ़ी से ही चढ़ना पड़ता है। हर्षित ने बताया कि हमारे देश के युवाओं से ही देश को उम्मीदें हैं। जब तक हमारा युवा समाज से नहीं जुड़ेगा तब तक वह देश की सामाजिक स्थिति से परिचित नहीं हो पाएगा और इस दिशा में कोई कल्याणकारी कदम उठाने की विचारधारा पैदा नहीं कर पाएगा।

सचिन शर्मा एवं इमो दाओ के सेल्स हेड हर्षित जुनेजा ने इमो कम्युनिटी युवा साथियों शुभम शर्मा, आकाश झा, गणेश मेहता, साहिल, केशव, रविन्दर, सरबजीत सिंह तथा अन्य लगभग 50 इमोइयन्स के साथ मिलकर दिल्ली की 45 डिग्री की भयंकर गर्मी में लोगों को लू के थपेड़ों से राहत पहुंचाने के लिए उत्तरी दिल्ली तथा दिल्ली के अन्य क्षेत्रों में मीठे जल की व्यवस्था की। आग उगलती गर्मी में आयोजित इस अवसर पर सभी का उत्साह देखते ही बनता था। क्षेत्रीय निवासियों ने इमो कम्युनिटी के इस सामाजिक कार्य की खुले दिल से प्रशंसा की। इस पर हर्षित ने क्षेत्र के जिम्मेदार व्यक्तियों को इस प्रकार के आयोजन करने की सलाह दी तथा आवश्यक होने पर सम्पर्क करने का न्यौता भी दिया। यह एक प्रकार से सामाजिक जागृति लाने वाला कदम है।

हर्षित जुनेजा और इनकी मुख्य प्रतिभाशाली टीम के सदस्यों शुभम शर्मा, आकाश झा और सरबजीत सिंह जैसे युवाओं ने देश के अन्य युवाओं को प्रभावित किया है।

हर्षित ने यह भी कहा कि हमारे लिए यह तुच्छ और नगण्य कार्य है जिसका प्रचार करके हम किसी प्रकार का डंका नहीं पीट रहे और न ही हमें कोई नाम कमाने की लालसा है। पर इसके बारे में प्रचार करने की पीछे हमारा उद्देश्य केवल यही है कि अन्य लोग भी ऐसे आयोजनों से प्रेरित होकर समाज कल्याण की दिशा में अपना योगदान दे सकें। बकौल हर्षित ‘जंगल में मोर नाचा किसने देखा’। लोगों को हर दिशा में आत्मनिर्भर बनाने की दिशा में कार्यरत हर्षित ने बताया कि इमो कम्युनिटी तेरा-तेरा लंगर सेवा (ईएसआई अस्पताल दिल्ली) से भी सक्रिय रूप से जुड़ी है और प्रत्येक मंगलवार को अपनी सेवाएं प्रदान करती है। साथ ही उन्होंने कहा कि यह भी सुनिश्चित है कि किसी भी सामुदायिक या सामाजिक गतिविधि से जुड़ने के बाद जो आत्मसंतोष मिलता है उसका कोई मुकाबला नहीं है। इमो कोर मैनेजमेंट और विशेषकर सचिन शर्मा के मार्गदर्शन में प्रशिक्षित हुए हर्षित जुनेजा आज इमो कम्युनिटी के सेल्स हेड के रूप में युवाओं का नेतृत्व  कर रहे हैं और विकेन्द्रीकृत टेक्नोलॉजी के ज्ञान को अपनी टीम के द्वारा लोगों के मध्य सफलतापूर्वक रख रहे हैं।

ज्ञातव्य है कि ऐसे विराट आयोजनों की पूरी व्यवस्था हर्षित जुनेजा और उनके साथी समय-समय पर अपने ही आर्थिक योगदान से करते रहते हैं तथा किसी से भी आर्थिक सहयोग की अपेक्षा नहीं रखते। हर्षित ने बताया कि इमो कम्युनिटी जिस उद्देश्य को लेकर आगे बढ़ रही है वह उससे पीछे हटने वाली नहीं है। उनका कहना है कि वे निःस्वार्थ रूप से इस दिशा में कार्यरत हैं तथा लोगों को इसके बारे में बताकर उन्हें इमो कम्युनिटी का हिस्सा बनाना चाहते हैं जिससे कि इमो कम्युनिटी एक विशाल रूप धारण कर सके तथा इससे जुड़ने वाला प्रत्येक युवा व अन्य कोई व्यक्ति इससे प्रेरित होकर आत्मनिर्भर हो सके तथा आर्थिक रूप से स्वतंत्र हो सके। इसी में हमें आर्थिक रूप से स्वतंत्र भारत के दर्शन होते हैं।

हर्षित ने बताया कि इमो कम्युनिटी इस भयंकर लू के समाप्त होने तक ऐसे सामुदायिक कार्यों में सक्रिय रहेंगे तथा अधिक से अधिक लोगों की सेवा करेंगे। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि न सिर्फ लू जैसी प्राकृतिक आपदा में अपितु जब भी समाज को जरूरत होगी इमो कम्युनिटी के सदस्य सेवा कार्य करने वालों की पंक्ति में सबसे आगे खड़े मिलेंगे। हर्षित, शुभम, आकाश, सरबजीत जैसे उत्साही युवा नई दिशा और नई तकनीक का इस दुनिया में परचम लहरा रही हैं  … ये युवा किसी भी स्थिति में अपने समाज और देश के सहयोग और सहायता के लिए तत्पर हैं और युवाओं के लिए उदाहरण हैं।

Business Accounting Platform Vyapar Acquires NeoDove, a Sales & Marketing Automation Platform for SMEs

Business Accounting Platform Vyapar Acquires NeoDove, a Sales & Marketing Automation Platform for SMEs

Bengaluru, India: Bengaluru headquartered business accounting platform Vyapar has acquired SaaS startup NeoDove for an undisclosed amount. This is Vyapar’s first acquisition with which it hopes to further strengthen and step up its efforts to cater to the SME sector.

“Building on our six years of success, the acquisition of NeoDove is our next big step to broaden the scope of problems that we solve for the MSMEs of India aligning to our larger goal of solving 360-degree problems of MSMEs” said Sumit Agarwal, founder & CEO at Vyapar

Vyapar recently raised $30 Million in Series-B funding led by WestBridge Capital with participation from existing investors Indiamart & IndiaQuotient. Fortytwo.VC also participated in the round.

Vyapar’s mobile-first solution helps businesses generate bills and GST invoices, manage transactions, make smart decisions on inventory purchases, and provides access to accounting reports on the smartphone to owners. The app is available on the Google Play Store.

NeoDove, founded in 2020 by Arpit Khandelwal and Ankit Kumar Agrawal, provides a unique telecalling and sales engagement solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Through their unique CRM system, NeoDove provides their customers with features that are required to drive better results from their sales, marketing, and customer engagement efforts.

Both NeoDove and Vyapar are driven to make life easier for small and medium-sized businesses, and this acquisition comes on the back of meeting the growing demand for cutting-edge technologies for the less technologically-savvy SMEs.

“It’s incredibly inspiring to see how far we’ve come, as well as how our users have been able to scale and grow their businesses. Now with Vyapar’s support, we look forward to reaching even greater heights.” – Arpit Khandelwal, Co-founder, NeoDove

“Human Beings Are A Product of Their Own Psychology about Life” – Author Aniket Vats On His New Novel Psychological Love

“Human Beings Are A Product of Their Own Psychology about Life” – Author Aniket Vats On His New Novel Psychological Love

Author Aniket Vats is one of those young authors in India who dare to think differently and succeed in their attempt in sharing fresh thoughts and ideas with their readers. Aniket has studied human psychology intimately both academically and as an observer. His recently released e-book traces the journey of an individual who adheres to certain notions and how his belief system leads him to where he reaches in life.

Talking about the novel, the young author says, “Human beings are a product of their own psychology about life. I have tried to explore this concept through this book. Psychological Love’, which happens to be the title of the novel, gives you a clear glimpse of what you should expect from it. It explores several things that a young individual faces in his life at different points. The book explores the relationship between the protagonist and different people in his life like his teachers and friends who play an important role in shaping his life.

Apart from drawing experiences from his own life, the kind of situations he saw people around him dealing with also helped Ankit in his writing process. While many books have revolved around love and its different aspects, there are very few authors who have been able to link it to one’s psychology. Interestingly, this book explores the love of a person for his psychology and how deeply it impacts him.

“The book also touches upon the complexities of a father-son relationship which is seldom talked about. I have explored the issue of peer pressure and the kind of psychological effect it has on students. I have also written about the ‘hermit point of view’ which is essentially about how you can have a broader view of the world around you. Most people don’t realize this but our individual psychology is responsible for how we navigate through life”, he says.

Aniket considers himself to be a ‘life learner’. He believes one lifetime is not enough to learn and process all that the world has to offer. According to him, every day one must make it a point to observe life closely and understand what it is trying to teach us. Every day, he says, can teach us an important lesson if we are observant enough. His philosophies and ideas on life reflect in the books authored by him.

Elaborating on what inspires him as an author, he says, “To have original ideas and offer something new to the readers, you must keep your eyes and mind open. I am a keen observer of human behaviour and try to understand how an individual’s thoughts influence their actions or the decisions taken by them. When people read my books, they can relate too many of the situations depicted in them. My books are steeped in realism and I make an attempt to delve deep into ideas that have not been explored or discussed earlier.”

‘Psychological Love’, authored by Aniket Vats, is available in e-book format on Amazon. The novel is available for free and can be read on a Kindle device and other e-book readers as well.

Incredible Healthcare ‒ a Founder’s Fastest Indian expedition to Transform and Personalize India’s $132B Healthcare Industry

Incredible Healthcare ‒ a Founder’s Fastest Indian expedition to Transform and Personalize India’s $132B Healthcare Industry

Fellow Technology founder and CEO, Dharma TejaNukarapu recently embarked on an incredible all-India expedition, aiming to make healthcare accessible and personalized for everyone across the Indian subcontinent. Starting in April 2022, the journey covered 29 States, 2 Union Territories, 31 Cities, and 12,441 kilometers in 20 Days.

Fellow Technology was founded in 2016, in Raleigh, North Carolina, with the goal of bridging the gap between patients and their providers and improving the healthcare industry through simple yet powerful technology.

“With Indian medical service consumers becoming more conscious towards their healthcare upkeep, India is full of opportunities and has become one of the leading destinations for high-end diagnostic services,” says Mr. Dharma.

Fellow Technology’s digital healthcare and wearable technology promise to seamlessly integrate into every person’s life, thereby empowering the people to be more self-administrable with their healthcare.

During this journey, Fellow Technology enrolled 1,000+ members across India onto their health coverage plans, offering 3 lakhs worth of hospital coverage, 2 diagnostics, 6 consultations per year, and up to 40% off on prescriptions.

“The hospital industry in India is forecast to increase to Rs. 8.6 trillion (US$ 132.84 billion) by FY22 from Rs. 4 trillion (US$ 61.79 billion) in FY17 at a CAGR of 16-17% For a diverse nation with unique problems related to every region, it was important for Fellow to better understand the key health and insurance needs of every state and devise a personalized healthcare package.”, says Mr. Dharma.

Unlike all other market players, Fellow Technology is the only health care provider that enables connected health. Fellow Technology’s smart ecosystem allows people to track their health, prescriptions, consumption, vitals, activity, and nutrition. Fellow Technology even provides a health coach for better nutrition.

With unlimited access to healthcare networks and healthcare professionals, Fellow Technology is offering 24/7 unlimited consultations, case-less prescriptions with express pick-up/drop-off, up to 100% coverage of OPD expenses, and up to 50% off on prescriptions.

“I strongly believe that when we start to look at impossibilities as speed bumps rather than walls, we give ourselves time to slow down and think, rather than giving up. For me this journey was about serving a greater purpose, that is, to reduce the huge gap in our health system with respect to access and affordability”, says Mr. Dharma

Sharing an interesting and inspiring incident from the journey, Mr. Dharma shared, “One of the biggest challenges on our journey was when we visited the land of Blue Hills and Red River – Assam, right at the beginning of the storm. It was a humbling experience as we came face to face with the problems of the people in such extenuating circumstances. I take pride that we were able to help the people and enroll them into our coverage and we’re already processing their claims as we speak.”

Traveling and interacting with so many individuals will help Fellow to personalize healthcare for such a massive population and identify key metrics to better understand the shortcomings related to every state.

Fellow Technology identified the metrics related to the availability of healthcare per state, which includes the number of PHCs (primary health care centers), number of multi-specialty hospitals, and number of super-specialty hospitals, private centers, and government centers. Additionally, the team researched and gathered data related to the health insurance coverage available in every state and identified the complexities the people of India are facing with their current providers.

“A key thing I’d like to mention here is how the needs of the patients are impacted with the various health cards causing significant payment delays, making claims processing one of the most gruesome experiences for a patient.” mentions Mr. Dharma.

The team at Fellow Technology uses state-level data to categorize the population by age group, occupation, financials, and prominent health conditions to ensure healthcare is accessible to everyone.

“I experienced a range of emotions during this incredible journey and seeing the lack of awareness and accessibility towards healthcare in India, It has made my conviction even stronger to pursue this ambition with greater zeal. One such emotional experience was in Delhi, where a group of senior citizens shared how they feel ignored in a time of need. It is extremely sad that the age group that deserves the maximum attention is feeling ignored and has such great difficulty with their health claims and accessibility.” recalls Mr. Dharma.

In another conversation with salaried individuals earning between Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 1 lakh, Mr. Dharma discovered how hidden costs in their health policy impact their claims processing, forcing them to pay 50% of the treatment cost out of pocket.

Fellow Technology is planning to launch 10 to 15 vehicles in every state from next quarter to touch every corner to identify access and affordability problems and build digital solutions in collaboration with major insurance providers and other healthcare organizations to provide instant custom solutions and digitally track the outcomes.

Speaking about Fellow Technology’s future plans, Mr. Dharma mentioned “Fellow Technology believes that healthcare access and affordability is a universal problem. Most of the non-compliance and adherence issues are caused by access and affordability. We will start a similar campaign in the USA to cover all 50 states in collaboration with major providers to bring access and affordability to patients.

New Business Success Book By Abhishek Sharma Launches May 25th

New Business Success Book By Abhishek Sharma Launches May 25th

Abhishek Sharma is launching his brand-new book, “Business Secrets at 900°C”, available on Amazon and targeted at fans of the Business books genre. More information is available at the website: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0B1VC4P2D/

Heat Treatment plant owner Abhishek Sharma is launching his brand-new book, “Business Secrets at 900°C”. The book is set to go live on May 25th, on Amazon and is expected to become a big hit with fans of the Business books genre.

More information on the book can be found here: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0B1VC4P2D/

This is the first book Sharma has authored. The book was written with the aim in mind to fast-track the learning for newbie business owners. The author is excited about this launch because he has collated in the book, all the knowledge that will allow any entrepreneur to gain business success. He opines that more than inheriting money, one should inherit knowledge, and books are the best way to share this information with the future generation.

Business Secrets at 900°C sets its main focus on seven principles of business success plus the practical implementation of heat treatment in modern industries. Readers will likely be interested in the author’s never-before-revealed heat-treatment process.

Abhishek Sharma has a background in Heat Treatment processes that he learned from his father, Mr. Omkant Sharma. His father founded Abhishek Enterprises and the forty years of his father’s experience combined with the author’s ten years of experience in heat treatment, metallurgy, and business practices helped shape the vision for the book.

When asked about why he wrote the book, Sharma said: “The purpose of writing this book is to pass the knowledge I gained over to future generations. Most people pass their wealth to their children but that’s not enough. There should be a transfer of knowledge as well. Also, I didn’t want to live with the regret of not being able to write this book. Without proper knowledge and guidance, it will take many years of failures for beginner entrepreneurs to even reach a profit. Business is a long, hard road, full of failures, and unless someone mentors you, it will take decades to reach your goals.”

Abhishek has hopes that the book will inspire a new generation to learn from the author’s mistakes and rapidly gain business knowledge. He believes that it is important to share one’s knowledge and not be afraid of the competition.

In a recent interview, the author made a point of thanking his father, Mr. Omkant Sharma for their part in the creation of the book, saying: “My father has been a great model for me growing up, and I want to be a model father for my son too.”

Zardouzee: The Indian Company That Is On the Verge of Becoming a Global Luxury Handmade Bags Brand

Zardouzee: The Indian Company That Is On the Verge of Becoming a Global Luxury Handmade Bags Brand

As an embroidery type, Zardozi has been around for a very long time. However, its popularity was limited to women, of a certain age group, in North India. Now, Zardozi is becoming popular all across the country among girls and women of all age groups courtesy of Zardouzee, a brand from the house of the renowned Ganeshi Lall Emporium in Agra in Uttar Pradesh. Though Zardouzee was launched just six months back, the umbrella brand is more than 175 years old.

While Zardouzee manufactures a wide range of products, they plan to build its identity as a luxury and designer handbag brand. The brand specializes in hand-crafted Zardozi embroidery and employs artisans who have studied this branch of embroidery for years. While most of the products that come from the house of Zardouzee are affordable, there are some premium-priced products as well. The brand’s target consumer base comprises those who prefer buying medium-range or high-value products.

Talking about the vision behind the brand, Alark M. Lall, founder of Zardouzee, says, “The brand aims to make the magnificent artistry of Zardozi more accessible to the younger generation. Handmade bags have been one of our highest selling product categories. We ensure that our designs reflect Zardozi in its most authentic form and are contemporary at the same time. We have provided artisans with a well-designed platform to showcase their skills in Zari work in various forms. Zardouzee comprises a team of skilled artisans who handicraft hand-embroidered clutches and bags, among other products, for women.”

‘Zardouzee’, the brand name has been derived from Zardozi art. Zardozi itself is a mixture of two Persian words. While zar refers to gold, dozi roughly translates to sewing. Professional artisans used metallic fleeces to design three-dimensional artworks using Zardozi techniques. In these designs, artisans use metallic threads incorporated with precious and semi-precious gemstones. In ancient times, silver thread and real gold leaves were two of the primary components that were used to craft Zardozi artwork. Now, most artisans use copper wire with threads made of gold, silver, and other material.

Since Rigveda. Embroidery with gold and silver threads has been prevalent in India. It gained further popularity during the Mughal era owing to its semblance in the form of Zardozi art, the intricate metal embroidery work done on fabrics such as silk, velvet, and satin. While Zardozi has been a prominent handicraft item in the Persian culture for ages, it has been adapted quite well by Indian artisans. The kind of intricate Zardozi work you see artisans doing in India is truly unique and one-of-its-kind.

“An artisan, with fine art skills, needs to put in hours to put together a simple Zardozi item. These are highly trained artisans for whom Zardozi is not a means of livelihood but their passion. They live to pursue this craft and take it further in different directions. I strongly feel that the amount of effort they put in cannot be measured in terms of money. However, the products offered by Zardouzee are reasonably priced. We are taking several steps to ensure the popularity of Zardozi embroidery reaches far and wide. While we are already offering a wide range of products to our customers, we will be launching more soon. We are committed to making Zardouzee a global brand”, says Lall.

Zardouzee has been built on the promise of preserving the nation’s heritage and representing it on a global platform. With the finest quality material and the creativity of the most qualified artisans, Zardouzee has the vision to create a global market of ancient handmade and sustainable accessories for women. The brand’s handmade products are skilfully embroidered and inlaid with different types of gemstones.

Zardouzee manufactures handbags, hand bracelets, jewellery boxes and several other items that represent Zardozi embroidery in its purest form. The entire catalog of the brand can be viewed at its official website www.zardouzee.com
