Look Twice as Nice With MiniKlub’s New Twinning Range

Twinning is always trending and Miniklub introduces this idea of twinning to their range this season. Twinning is winning, we have seen this swift in action in past few years, we wanted to bring in this idea of twinning in to our range and create the newness in our offering where mother and daughter and son father duo can flaunt their twinning style to trend.

Just like athleisure, the trend originated on the street. We first noticed twinning street style looks years ago during the Spring season, this is something that we wanted to offer to our Indian parents, where they can have fun time with their little ones and look cool too.

We have worked on 3 options each for mother and daughter and father and son duo, for mother and daughter we have curated a range with floral design with all over prints and one with full grey print. These comes with different types of fabric like cotton and jersey which goes well with autumn winter season. For father and son duo we have 3 options again, 2 being crew neck tee and one woven shirt. Fabric type used is jersey. Colour offering is soothing, peppy and loud. We loved curating it and hope to see the same love from parents who pick this range.

JUMIA partners with BILITI Electric to include E-Vans in delivery fleet

New Delhi, September 30, 2022 – The leading pan-African e-commerce giant, JUMIA (NYSE: JMIA)has announced a partnership with California based EV solutions provider BILITI Electric, to add e-vans to its delivery fleet in Kenya. The two companies have successfully completed the pilot project, and are set to scale the fleet within Kenya in the first phase, and eventually across Africa. This partnership is an
important step towards Africa’s progress in the e-mobility industry to achieve its environmental sustainability goals.

“Leveraging technology to improve everyday lives in Africa” is the first pillar of JUMIA’s sustainability strategy. “We are committed to building a supply chain that will minimize the environmental impact of our operations. The introduction of these EVs to our last-mile delivery fleet of 3000+ vans is an integral milestone in our journey towards realizing our ESG objectives.” said Juan Seco, CEO of JUMIA Kenya.

“We are thrilled about this partnership as JUMIA is a growing entity on its path to profitability. Last mile delivery costs account for 53% of the total cost of shipping. EVs help save on major costs compared to any internal combustion engine vehicle. We are confident of enabling JUMIA with much faster, cheaper and more convenient last-mile deliveries.” said Rahul Gayam, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BILITI  Electric.

BILITI Electric’s Taskman TM variant is designed for commercial last-mile deliveries – it offers a range of 100 kms per charge, payload of 500 kg and a top speed of 50 kmph. BILITI’s SmartSwapp TM technology enables the rider to simply swap the vehicle battery and get recharged in less than a minute. The vehicle has seen a collective mileage of 22Mn miles and delivered 24 million shipments across the globe. Taskman TM is currently being used by Amazon, IKEA, Flipkart (Walmart), Wasoko (Sokowatch), BigBasket (Tata), Zomato, JioMart (Reliance) among others, and has a presence in 15+ countries including Japan, USA, UK, France, Portugal, Germany, Uganda, Kenya, Dubai and India.

These e-vans offer poor communities in Africa not only a shot at cleaner air but economic opportunity as well. Delivery agents can earn more by switching from fossil-fuel motorcycles to these e-vans, by delivering more orders with less difficulty.

Kenya is perfectly positioned to kickstart an initiative of this sort. In 2020, around 92% of the electricity used in the country was generated from renewables, including hydropower, geothermal, solar PV and wind. Kenya is targeting 100% clean energy use by 2030. In 2019, Kenya reduced the import duty for fully electric vehicles. The following year, it released a comprehensive strategy to increase adoption of  EVs. However, Kenya’s air quality is “moderate”, according to IQAir. Nairobi, home to 4.3 million people and ranked the second worst city in the world for traffic congestion, has PM2.5 levels five times higher than the 2021 WHO recommendations.

Amelia Sordell Debunks Myths About Personal Branding on SCOPE TALKS, exclusive conversation with CEO and Founder, Appalla Saikiran

30th September, 2022: SCOPE, a new-age holistic platform for budding entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors and industry experts, is back with SCOPE TALKS, a highly acclaimed series that has become a hit among emerging entrepreneurs due to the depth of knowledgeable insights it provides. The platform has recently conducted the sixth session of ‘SCOPE TALKS’. Hosted by Appalla Saikiran, Founder and CEO of SCOPE, the session revolved around ‘Debunking Myths About Personal Branding’ and invited Amelia Sordell, Founder of Klowt, a London-based Personal Branding Agency, appeared as the guest.

The session clarified several misconceptions and emphasised that personal branding isn’t an ego-driven activity. Amelia highlighted that personal branding is a strategic marketing branch—an approach to attracting talented employees, winning top-tier clients, and accelerating business growth. As an entrepreneur or a business leader, an individual would want to be recognised as the authority in their respective fields or an employer of choice. An entity that others consider a benchmark for fame and fluency. This is branding— simple and straightforward.

She further claimed that given that the entrepreneurial ecosystem has undergone multiple changes in the last few years, corporate jargon has taken over these marketing nuances. Due to this, many respectable marketable ‘gurus’, consultants and suppliers let the personal branding concept be swept under the rug. Having said that, new-age entrepreneurs and experts are again bringing this subject to the mainstream, and this session aims to give a much-needed push to this trend.

The highly anticipated show also traced the journey of Amelia and her experiences with the personal branding universe in-depth. She reiterated the importance and relevance of personal branding in the realm of business, something all entrepreneurs, budding or established, should understand.

Appalla Saikiran, Founder and CEO of SCOPE, said, “SCOPE TALKS is an immensely beneficial series that can provide much-needed insights about the ever-evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem to attendees. We were thrilled to have Amelia, an established entrepreneur, as a guest. She provided us with an opportunity to share and gather several interesting insights. Her professional journey is filled with milestones that are inspiring, to say the least. Her interpretation of the ‘Personal Branding’ universe is nothing short of an eye-opener. I am optimistic that listeners must have received detailed information about this unique marketing approach and will be able to take advantage of the same in the near future.”

SCOPE has conducted five sessions with startup maestros such as Hina Dixit (AI and Metaverse) and Kanika Tekriwal (Founder of JetSetGo). The series has received enormous traction from the startup community due to its indispensable focus on gaining clarity and debunking myths surrounding the entrepreneurial ecosystem and its principles.
