Country needs increased production of Biofuels

Country needs increased production of Biofuels

Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from molasses, corn, rice, and other agriculture-based feedstocks which can be blended and used in conventional petrol. The country has done well in Ethanol blending in the petrol scheme, which has reduced substantial carbon emissions, which has also helped in reduction of carbon footprints as well as emission of greenhouse gases and saved more than INR 40,000 crores of forex reserve for the country. Usage of Ethanol blended petrol has many environment friendly benefits. Similarly, Biodiesel is an alternative for conventional diesel derived from waste fats and oils and OMCs have floated tenders to blend biodiesel in the diesel.

Vasanth JB, energy sector analyst said that the country needs more biodiesel and ethanol which are sustainable green fuels and can be directly used as an alternative for the conventional diesel and petrol.

All over the world, the sources of traditional energy and fossil fuels are slowly moving towards extinction, so renewable forms of energy are emerging as suitable alternatives. Vasanth JB added that it is very important to bring Ethanol as well as Biodiesel in more circulation to save the environment and to reduce the carbon footprint.

Oil and coal are being heavily used in the energy sector since the Industrial Revolution. The problem is that these fuels are limited and are being depleted at a rapid rate. Adding to this, these fuels derived from fossil fuels tend to contribute to greenhouse gases, which can have detrimental effects on the environment.  Bio-Diesel is an important alternative green energy fuel, because it does not take thousands of years to manufacture but can be produced on a human-controlled scale. Biodiesel can be manufactured from a wide range of organic waste fats and oils, and it is a cost-effective alternative for conventional diesel derived from petroleum. India has launched the ethanol blending program as well as biodiesel blending program which is a great step towards a greener future. Challenge in front of is now, is to scale up the production of biofuels

Vasanth also commented that India’s Ethanol production, as well as blending ratio in petrol, have increased significantly over the years, and this is a boost to the Indian sugar industry as well as the agricultural sector. Sugar industry is benefited because a significant number of Ethanol manufacturers in India use Molasses as the primary feedstock. Increase in production and blending of Ethanol as well as Biodiesel can reduce the country’s dependency on imported crude oil.

Naadbramha Idli: A Journey from a Small Restaurant to 47+ Franchises

Naadbramha Idli: A Journey from a Small Restaurant to 47+ Franchises

When it comes to South Indian cuisine, the name of Naadbramha idli is unavoidable. They are famous for their healthy, authentic, and delicious idlis. Every South Indian food lover in Pune knows the way to Naadbramha Idlis, but their story is still unknown to many.

Let’s see how they made a place in the hearts of so many customers all over Maharashtra.

Naadbramha restaurant: The start of a remarkable journey

In 2016, Mr. Dattatray Nidvanche, Narsingh Biradar, Digambar Nidvanche, Harish Nidvanche, and Krishna Nidvanche came together to start a small restaurant in Bharati Vidyapeeth, Katraj, named Naadbramha. All the five partners were from different fields. Their different experiences paved their way to success.

Their mission was to deliver timely, healthy, hygienic food at a reasonable price so that customers could savour tasty food prepared with high-quality ingredients.

They were working hard to provide the best possible service to their customers and make them fall in love with their dishes. They decided to keep only two dishes in the restaurant and try to make them their strength.

Soon, people started loving their food as it was served fresh to every customer. They became everyone’s first choice. Naadbramha started to earn a good profit.

When a global pandemic of COVID-19 strikes,

In March 2020, India experienced its first lockdown due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Since that time, we have lived in lockdown for more than 6 months due to the pandemic. It was the time when the whole world turned upside down. The economic conditions of all countries were turning worse. Many people contracted the virus. People were losing their means of livelihood and were facing financial crises. Many businesses were shut down, especially restaurants, hotels, and other small-scale businesses.

An innovative solution to the problem.

To survive these tough circumstances, the directors of Naadbramha restaurant held a meeting with their marketing team. The agenda of the meeting was to find an innovative solution to the problem.

After a lot of discussions, they decided to provide only idli as their product and to come up with a unique cooking mechanism. After that, they met and discussed it with many factory owners and came up with a machinery-based cooking model for making idli.

With the implementation of these decisions, Naadbramha Idli was established on November 10th, 2020.

An ultimate game-changer.

This idea proved to be the ultimate game-changer for their business as it became highly successful. Today, based on this business model, Naadbramha Idli has 47+ franchises spread across Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, and Ahmednagar. These franchises sell the best idli in Maharashtra.

Recently, they won the de Asra Foundation Entrepreneur Excellence Award, 2022, by Dr. Anand Deshpande (Founder and Chairman of Persistent Systems).

Naadbramha Idli’s unique business model

The machinery-based cooking model of Naadbramha is a no-chef cooking model. The machine makes 120 idlis at a time. That means anyone can make these idlis. This made it easier for the franchisee to maintain the taste and quality of Naadbramha Idlis. It ensures it replaces unhealthy fast food. It makes it easier to provide fresh Idli, sambar, and coconut chutney to every customer.

Reasons behind choosing Idli as their product

Throughout the pandemic, the environment was extremely unhealthy. Idli is considered one of the healthiest Indian snacks. It’s cooked using steam, so it’s non-greasy. It is easy to digest. Along with that, it has a high nutritional value. When served with delicious coconut chutney and lip-smacking sambhar, it has a wonderful taste.

Many people gained weight during lockdown sitting at home, while some became fitness freaks. Idli is suitable for everyone as it is ideal for weight loss.

Apart from a great business model, they have great communication skills. They deal with their customers, franchisees, and everyone else in a very polite manner. This is also the reason why customers and franchisees are loyal to them.

It’s not the destination yet

Within a short period, Naadbramha Idli climbed the ladder of success. However, there’s still a long way to go.

Someone rightly said, “Dream big to achieve big”.

The vision of Naadbramha Idli is to make India a healthy country by serving healthy food and with their hard work and perseverance, they are constantly growing closer to their goal.

For all the obvious reasons, Naadbramha will soon be ruling over the fast-food industry in India. For more information visit:

Delhi-NCR, India: After the pandemic, general health concerns are at the peak, considering the burnt suffered by the healthcare industry during COVID. So, as the world is still recovering and trying to get back to normality with the virus still active in many places, the need for diagnostic care at home is picking up at a rapid pace. Bridging the gap with their revolutionary healthcare services Star Home Care has made a name by delivering NCV, Holter, Sleep Study, and similar vital health diagnostic services to the doorstep.

It has always been challenging for bedridden patients to complete a medical assessment or provide critical patient care at home. The dynamics have changed a lot in today’s time, and there has been no shortage of home-delivered diagnostic services. Star Home Care takes it to another level by introducing by blending its empathy and wisdom within its services.

Star Home Care branched out of a 44-year-old lab named Star Imaging and Path Lab Pvt Ltd. The reason for this extension was to organise a separate care unit for reaching out to patients in the confinement of a home. It is a Delhi-NCR-based diagnostic care facility, with a team of highly-skilled and experienced doctors, nurses, and other medical associates dedicated to providing health checkups and diagnostic tests at the convenience of home.

Time is quite precious and even more essential in the medical field, especially in a critical care unit. As there can be no specific time for a crisis to occur, even in a safe home environment, Star Home Care pays immense attention to the flexibility of its services, allowing patients access to critical healthcare services whenever necessary.

As mentioned before, elderly and bedridden patients are more susceptible to a lack of medical assistance due to apparent immobility. As they cannot travel to their nearest diagnostic centres, Star Home Care takes its services to the home of such patients offering accurate check-up facilities along with confidential reports.

Among the several medical aids offered by Star Home Care, Digital X-Ray at Home & ECG at Home, Holter, NCV, EEG and sleep study, Pulmonary function tests, Uroflowmetry services, and special health packages are a few examples to count. Not just the tests, they also deliver the reports back to their patients’ homes or through an online means like many of its peers are doing.

There is no denying that “prevention is better than a cure”, and early detection of a disease can have tumultuous benefits in the recovery. Star Home Care uses cutting-edge medical technology coupled with a blend of sound imaging services to deliver credible reports that patients can trust, and their doctors can use in the diagnosis.

About Star Home Care

Having a 44-year-old legacy in the medical business, Star Home Care has amassed quite the experience and established its brand based on excellence. The results or reports presented by Star Home Care also get checked by a panel of physicians before it’s delivered. In short, the facility leaves no stones unturned in delivering acute medical services at their client’s homes, at their convenience.
