This world is extremely vying right now and procuring a decent job is surely a daunting task, especially when one doesn’t have enough experience in the industry of interest. One who claims that finding a job is facile either hasn’t done it in a while or certainly knew the “ideal people” and didn’t experience what the rest of the job seekers do.

Most job seekers are enervated by kicking their heels, skimming through frivolous job postings, and not getting their dream job. Most of the time, they don’t get much response from the job applications, they are still bemused about how to initiate the job search, or they don’t have enough experience and connections in the industry.

The co-founders of MedicShala, Dr. Priya Sharma, Vishal Bohara, and Aditya Sharma, with Dr. Anurag Sharma (MedicShala advisor), came up with the idea of forming a job search accelerator program for such job seekers. This program has been developed for committed candidates who want to expedite their job hunts. 

Here applicants will receive a perfect amalgamation of mentorship from industry experts, proper guidance for interviews, access to a network of more than 200 hiring partners, and zero upfront enrollment fees are the cherry on the cake.

MedicShala matches doctors with medical staff from outstanding hospitals. It will help job seekers to tweak their medical as well as technical skills. It prepares them for interviews by providing a challenging environment along with a community of over 5 million ardent healthcare workers.

On the other hand, MedicShala allows hospitals to:

*Rent out an area or unit of your medical facility. This has aided many in increasing financial profits, cutting costs, and growing services. According to modern demands, sharing your medical facility might be a wise decision. 

*Resource sharing of medical staff as well as equipment as well.

Anyone can benefit from MedicShala’s cutting-edge services, especially young graduates who want to embark on a career in medicine. Given how challenging it can be to obtain your dream profession, MedicShala India Pvt Ltd is here to guide anyone who finds themselves stuck on their career path in the direction of brighter times.

In the last 10-12 years, the e-commerce industry in India has grown at an extraordinary pace. While the industry faced some challenges, in the beginning, it witnessed rapid growth in the last couple of years because of a variety of factors. Despite being very successful at what they do, many e-commerce brands have been trying to crack the e-commerce exports space and make their products having a presence in the international market.

To address this subject, the first-ever Ecom India Summit is scheduled to be organized from October 10 and October 11. The two-day conference will shed light on the subject of cross-border D2C exports and be marked by the presence of leading e-commerce experts from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and India as speakers. Some of the global organizations that will be a part of the conference include Carbon6, Regro Media, SellerApp, KwickMetrics, and PingPong Global Payments.

Talking about the significance of this conference, Meghla Bhardwaj, co-founder of Ecom India Summit, says, “The launch of the first edition of the Ecom India Summit couldn’t have been timed better as the Indian e-commerce industry is going through a very interesting phase at the moment. Indian D2C brands have registered extraordinary growth in the last couple of years. Some of the initiatives by the government like Atmanirbhar Bharat have given a huge boost to the manufacturing industry. The government is making several attempts to ensure international trade and the e-commerce sector grows. Today, there is a huge demand for Make-In-India products in the global market. Through conferences like the Ecom India Summit, we can come up with several innovative methods to propel the growth of Indian brands that wish to export their products through e-commerce channels.”

Among other things, the evolution of the payment and logistical infrastructure has played an important role in the growth of the e-commerce industry in India. Even consumers based in foreign countries are now finding it quite convenient to order products from online stores based in India. However, there is a need for making the process of exporting products more organized and seamless.

Ecom India Summit aims to offer a platform to both domestic and international players in this sector and hopes that it will contribute towards globalizing the Indian e-commerce industry. Representatives from Amazon Global Selling and Shopify and the Federation of Indian Exporters Organisation (FIEO) will be sharing important tips on how e-commerce brands can reach out to a global consumer base.

Elaborating on this, Tim Jordan, co-founder of Ecom India Summit, says, “Through conferences like these, homegrown brands will get an opportunity to expand their footprint and enter international markets. The Ecom India Summit will serve as a good opportunity for both emerging and well-established Indian D2C brands to understand this ecosystem better and develop the kind of strategies that would help them grow faster. This would also be a good platform for those manufacturers and exporters who plan to diversify from B2B to D2C. We will have a wide range of attendees including artisans and handicraft suppliers who hope to sell their products directly to international consumers. From e-commerce sellers trying to start and scale their own private label brand to individuals wanting to run a work-from-home online business, the Ecom India Summit is for anybody who wants to benefit from e-commerce exports and wish to become a global Indian brand in the truest sense.”

The first edition of the Ecom India Summit will be conducted on October 10 and October 11 at Eros Hotel Nehru Place in New Delhi. At the conference, a variety of important topics pertaining to e-commerce exports, including the process of validating products, setting a global D2C brand, Amazon PPC strategies, and multi-channel fulfillment will be discussed.

The event is being keenly looked forward to as it will bring together all the important brands and agencies that have contributed towards shaping up the e-commerce industry and export processes pertaining to it worldwide. For further details about the event, one can visit www.ecomindiasummit.com.

The Beginning.

Running a business with your school friends could be a dream for many or a risk of a lifetime for others, but Filmbaker is rewriting this narrative with its dedication to successful storytelling.

The company, founded by four friends, has been thriving for 5 years. Filmbaker is a video production company that offers end-to-end video production. The work created here is anchored by the four co-founders, Tarun Lachhwani, Gaurav Singh, Rakesh R, and Soman Surya Yadav.

From school to heading a video production company together, the four founders have embarked on a journey filled with thrilling adventures. Filmbaker caters to several video-making categories such as Digital Ads, Corporate Films, Event Coverage, 2D/3D Animation, Motion Graphics, etc. It has produced above 1500 stories with a strong 250+ clientele, including companies like Google, Kingfisher, Cure.fit, TKM, Pantaloons, and many other massive brands.

The adventure began when the four friends picked up filmmaking as a hobby. What started with a lack of knowledge in filmmaking led to the founders creating 80 short films in their college years, even winning two national awards. This journey opened doors, commencing Filmbaker.

Lenses behind the company

To understand Filmbaker, it would be quite necessary to understand the visionaries behind the company; the lenses through which they anchor their creative process daily.

Tarun Lachhwani, head of the creative division. He works according to his own definition of time (Tarun Standard Time). The go-to man for Filmbaker, breaking barriers of creativity within the team.

Gaurav Singh, head of the direction team. He embodies the calmness of Buddha. His meditative composure in the face of the most strenuous projects makes him stand-out.

Rakesh R heads the operations team with his unique way of viewing the world. Numbers, Numbers, Numbers! He is all about crunching them in the best way possible, saving the company time and money. Apart from this, he also heads the cinema team.

Finally, heading the marketing team, Soman Surya Yadav is the slap of coffee everyone needs to rejuvenate and energize themselves. He brings jubilance and endurance to the team with his marketing tactics. Besides, if you are lucky enough, you might even notice his acting chops in a few videos.

The Work Culture

All in all, working under these pioneers is a work culture filled with fun and teamwork.

Gaurav elaborated pensively “At Filmbaker, we have always kept an employee-first approach ensuring a flat hierarchy and easily approachable management. Our varied clientele across multiple verticals keeps us creatively on our toes with every brief.

The cross-learning culture helps our employees easily transition and look for new and different roles within the organization.” Truly, it’s always nice to walk into a workplace driven by passion and the constant reruns of chai.

 The Idea of Success

Come to think of it, Filmbaker’s idea of company success has to do with consistency and flexibility. On October 1st, the company celebrated its five years of providing service to the field of arts.

Filmbaker is all about doing justice to the art. Gaurav on the future of Filmbaker explained its endeavors with pride, “We look forward to opening our branches in Mumbai by End of this Year and spread globally with our offices in USA and Singapore in the coming Year. We will also be expanding the range of our services and expertise into TVCs, 3D, 360, and interactive videos in the coming days.”

Perhaps the message that Filmbaker would like to share would be with absolute humbleness, as Gaurav puts it

“We thank everyone who has been a part of our journey and helped us live our dream of making films. As we embark on to the next phase, we hope to serve our clients with the most creative and innovative visual solutions maintaining affordability and quality.”

When Kartik Vashist was eight years old, he discovered football and instantly fell in love with the game. Born in Madhuban police complex, Karnal, a small city in Haryana, the lives of Kartik and his family were mired in several hardships. Kartik, who never had an inclination towards academics, would practice the various moves of football for several hours at a stretch. While his family encouraged him to pursue the sport, he couldn’t afford a pair of shoes for the longest time because of the financial difficulties at home. Such was his passion for the sport that he started playing football barefoot. Even injuries wouldn’t be able to keep him away from the ground for a long time.

Today, Kartik is one of the most renowned footballers not just in India but globally. As a footballer, he has represented India on several international platforms. Apart from participating in the prestigious Continental Football League Russia in 2018, Kartik has been a part of several national and international tournaments including Coca Cola Cup, Hero Santosh trophy, IFA7 World Cup Guatemala, and Sam Soccer International Cup Indonesia.

Talking about his journey as a sportsperson, Kartik says, “My journey was filled with several challenges but my love for football helped me to keep moving forward before giving up at any point of time. As a child, I had to deal with the issue of lack of resources but at the same time, I feel lucky to have got the kind of opportunities that helped me prove my mettle as a footballer. I have been extremely blessed to have parents who supported my dreams and instilled in me the kind of values that helped me achieve my goals. Football gave me an identity and I shall be eternally grateful to it for the same.”

Apart from being a footballer of international repute, Kartik has also built an identity as one of the best mini-footballers around. He is one of those young sportspersons who have played an important role in making this sport popular in the country. Because of his contributions and constant endeavours towards creating greater awareness around mini-football, Kartik was made the general secretary of the Haryana Mini-Football Association.

“Since 2017, I have been playing football and mini-football almost in a parallel manner. While youngsters in our country are steadily discovering the various aspects of mini-football, I feel there is a lot that one can do to make it further popular. At Haryana Mini-Football Association, we are sincerely working towards it. Ever since I started playing football, one of my goals has been to raise awareness around the importance of taking up some form of sports in one’s life. In the near future. I will be spearheading some initiatives to realize this dream in a bigger way”, he says.

Kartik describes football as an extension of who he is and states that it was a sport that gave him a purpose and direction in life. Recently, he led the Socca India Team at the Socca World Cup as a captain. A famous quote by the American football coach Vince Lombardi states, “Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” Kartik’s life and his journey as a footballer is truly a glaring example of this.

Our perceptions of our homes, workplaces, schools, retail establishments, and other shared private or public spaces have altered since the year 2020. The spread of the Covid-19 epidemic around the world has forced us to change how we interact with one another, go about our daily lives, and use our spare time. The increase in the amount of time individuals spend indoors has been one of the biggest shifts. People were already expected to spend 90% of their time indoors in 2019, but we still had national lockdowns, the move to remote work, and self-quarantine advice. As a result, awareness of indoor air quality has increased (IAQ).

The subject of indoor air, air pollution, its quality, and how it affects our health gained popularity amid the procedures being made to safeguard us. Since then, it has been a problem for many, affecting people at home, in educational institutions, and in all kinds of businesses.

It’s difficult to comprehend how or in what ways poor indoor air quality impacts us, even though we often hear that it has a detrimental impact on health. For instance, did you know that excessive heat in a closed environment reduces our desire to interact with others or engage in activities?

How Does Indoor Air Pollution affect?

Some of the symptoms we experience when in poor air quality are:

Triggerallergies
Irritatedeyes, nose, orthroat
Blockednose
Dry, itchy skin
Tiredness
Rashes
Dizziness
Nausea

These are caused when we are exposed to closed environments such as gyms, schools, offices, living with pets, indoor spaces that have carpets, open fires/candles, etc. Most often, symptoms will go away soon after you leave the area. However, excessive, or repetitive exposure to such environments might have a harmful effect on already existing health conditions or cause new ones.

Air Conditioning as part of the solution

As much as ventilation is important in such indoor spaces, air conditioning systems keep humidity levels low and manage indoor temperatures.

Hitachi air conditioners not only cool your indoor environment but also provide clean, odor-free, and fresh air to keep health issues at bay. Hitachi’s Auto Coil Dry Technology(Soft Dry)prevents the accumulation of debris, dust, and pollen in the form of condensed water droplets on the evaporator coil and keeps the unit dry and clean to ensure fresh and healthy air.

Further, Hitachi’s FrostWashTechnology is an innovative self-cleaning technology that cleans in indoor evaporator coil, improves air quality, and creates a healthier environment by eliminating dirt. It significantly reduces the amount of dust, mold, and germs that accumulate on the indoor heat exchanger of your air conditioner and decreases their presence inside the unit. By encapsulating moisture created during routine operation, it captures the dust and debris that adhere to the heat exchanger. The dust, mold, and germs are subsequently drained out of the appliance together with the melted and defrosted frost. So, the air that meets the AC is free from dust and the air coming out of the AC is always clean and fresh.

The seasons have changed, signaling the arrival of cooler or warmer temperatures and a period of unpredictable weather.

In regions that experience defined seasons, there can be months during which the air conditioner is not in use and so it is recommended that you check that it is functioning properly and as expected. While you can’t control if there is sun, rain, or snow, there is one thing that you can do to maintain your indoor comfort during the upcoming season. Check for common air conditioner problems.

In this article we look atthe most common air conditioner problems, how to check for them, and what action needs to be taken to fix them. We’ll take a look at some issues require professional assistance as well as those problems that can be solved by yourself.

Issues That Necessitate the Services Of A Professional

Checking and cleaning the outdoor unit (ODU)

For some, checking the outdoor unit can simply require them to go to their garden or driveway and double-check that there is no plant matter or debris covering or blocking the unit. However, if you are living in an apartment or high-rise building, it is possible that your ODU is on a balcony, on the rooftop, or even on wall brackets. In these cases, it is essential that you call a professional to come and check it out.

One of the signs that your ODU needs cleaning is inadequate cooling inside the home. Just like indoor unit filters, ODUs can suffer from a buildup of dust, dirt, and debris, and this can impact the temperature that you want to achieve indoors. If your ODU is on ground level and accessible, this is something that you can investigate yourself and see just how dirty the system is. If the cause of the problem is indeed buildup around the unit’s casing, then you can clean it yourself. But if your ODU is attached to the side of the building, then it is time to call in the professionals and let them handle it.

Waterdripping from Indoor Unit

If your AC unit is leaking, it’s most likely just water. Water dripping is generally a symptom of the drain pipeline becoming blocked with the dust and dirt that flows out of the IDU with the condensation during operation. This can lead to mould and fungus growing, and subsequently catching other particles passing through the pipeline. As this happens, the condensation can’t drain and leads to droplets building up and falling from the IDU.

This is generally easy to identify on wall-mounted units as visible water droplets will gather on the casing. There are other ways to tell if the unit is leaking too. This not only causes water to leak from the unit, but it can also cause gases and bad odours to be released into your home, reducing comfort.

A dirty filter could also be the culprit. Why? Because if the air can’t pass through the unit effectively, this means that the evaporator coil isn’t receiving warm air and it freezes. When any moisture in the air hits the evaporator coil, this also freezes, creating ice crystals within the unit, which later melts and can eventually leak out of the IDU.

The latter problem can be avoided by adhering to decent filter maintenance but when your IDU is producing a leak, our recommendation is to contact our technical service team before attempting to fix it yourself.

While the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 provide an efficient mechanism of sterilization/ vaccination of dogs, there is an urgent need to ensure proper quality control of anti-rabies vaccines that are being administered to both humans and dogs in India.

New Delhi: Kerala Pravasi Association, an Election Commission of India approved independent political party from India led by the “Pravasi” Community has filed a plea before the honourable Supreme Court of India seeking a direction for constituting an independent expert committee to study the efficacy of the Intra Dermal Rabies Vaccines (IDRVs) currently being administered to Humans, on account of the number of deaths that have occurred despite timely administration of the vaccines in the Country.

The plea has been filed by Dr. Rajendran Vellapalath, Chairman of Kerala Pravasi Association and Mrs. Aswani Nambarambath, President of the Party who are also leaders of the Association through Advocates Kuriakose Varghese and V. Shyamohan, KMNP Law.

The petition also seeks the constitution of an independent expert committee to study the effectiveness of the Rabies Veterinary Vaccine administered to dogs in India, given the rise in the number of rabies cases.

Furthermore, a direction has been sought to the Union of India to give wide publicity and to ensure proper and uniform implementation of the National Guidelines for Rabies Prophylaxis, 2019 with appropriate revisions from time to time as per the latest developments and scientific evidences endorsed by the World Health Organisation.

Citing recent incidents where persons bitten by dogs succumbed to rabies, despite post-exposure prophylaxis, the plea raises questions regarding the current treatment protocol.

Kerala Pravasi Association has relied on recent newspaper reports which reveal that there are instances where vaccines were being procured even before requisite approvals were obtained from the Central Drugs Laboratory as per the norms.

“As per the guidance note issued by National Centre for Disease Control, manufacturing of Rabies vaccine for humans, being a complex process, needs a minimum of three to four months for manufacturing and testing. Shockingly, there have been instances where the vaccine has reached Kerala State within 14 days of manufacture. Non-adherence to the requisite quality checks would be a direct violation of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India, apart from violations of provisions under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules thereunder”, the plea reads.

It has been further submitted that the rise in the number of rabies-infected dogs is also a matter of concern; which necessitates an enquiry into the quality of anti-rabies vaccines administered to dogs.

Eliminating the risk of rabies at its source i.e., dogs, is the most effective measure to curtail the spread of rabies, the plea adds.

“The experts suggest that human rabies is a 100% vaccine-preventable disease and the vaccines are considered to be “highly effective, safe and tolerated”. Perforce, without vaccination, rabies is a fatal disease. While improper administration of IDRV is stated to be a possible reason for failure of the medicine in some cases, the recent deaths points towards the very efficacy of the vaccine”, the plea states.

The petition also seeks direction to call for the records pertaining to instances, if any, where vaccines were procured by the State Governments without statutory approvals by the Central Drugs Laboratory.

The Supreme Court Bench led by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, last month issued notice to the Centre and the Election Commission on a PIL also filed by the Kerala Pravasi Association seeking voting rights for non-resident Indians (NRIs. Kerala Pravasi Association has sought directions to the Central Government to permit Indian citizens residing outside India to exercise their franchise under Section 20A of the Representation of the People Act (RPA), 1950 from their place of residence or employment.
