M.I.T.R.O.N — Ready to Have Some Fun?

While one requires no actual real reason to pay their friends a visit, there are many unconventional reasons why visiting friends for no reason at all, could also be fun or even become addictive. Mitron is one such place in town (it has five outlets for you to choose from), that is hitting the right notes of friendship, fun and frolic with their mixology and culinary offerings. It did not take long for Mitron to become the most favorite place in town to enjoy the friendly vibe at all times with their signature cocktails, and their exquisite spread.
Mitron is a 4-year old brand that took off in 2018. Be it friendship or finance, handling bonds with care and trust remains at the core of their ideology. This modest philosophy inspired Mitron to take the liberty of creation. Creation of a space that fosters bonding and friendship in all its glory. A space that enables patrons to build, connect and exchange in a non-traditional ambience and in an informal set-up. Building memories, connecting with their dear ones or peer ones and exchanging ideas, thoughts, all through that one magical premise of friendship, that was the beginning of M.I.T.R.O.N.

Mitron offers and promotes – ‘Bigger the group, Bigger the discount’, a shop that sells a selection of bottles at ‘Super-Special’ prices.An exclusive display of Banta Soda and Banta cocktails, which also happens to be their signature and a well-fashioned cocktail comes paired with a food menu with delectable choices that would make you keep wanting to try more.

Mitron’s wide array of Pan Asian, Continental, and Indian cuisines makes it the first choice for families to dine, favorite hang out place for friends and the best venue to throw a party.Their signature dishes include Asian Barbeque Cottage Cheese, Laksa Soup, Edamame Truffle Dimsum, Philadelphia Salmon Roll (Sushi), Burmese Chicken Salad, Tiger Chilli Chicken, Fish Kasundi Tikka, and Spicy XO Prawns.

Keeping in mind the combo of great food and drink, Mitron offers a splashing array of classic cocktails. They have a signature cocktail menu and the cocktail menu changes according to the Mitron outlet one visits, out of the five they have in town. However, their mixologists are eager to help the guests figure out what poison suits them the best.

According to Mr. Gaurav Shetty, the owner of Mitron, “ We sell happiness sealed in exclusive bottles, at discounted prices, all day, every day, throughout the year!”. More than anything they make it a point for the friends to create new memories with their ‘mitrons’ at Mitrons.

Mitron offers and promotes their motto, “Bigger the group,bigger the discount”.They also serve seasonal specials and innovative promotional offers. To facilitate the community bonding they offer community drinks and shared platters, thereby giving the foodies major food goals.

Other than the five outlets they already have in Mumbai at Bandra, Thane, Kandivali, Andheri and Fort they plan to open one more outlet in January 2023 in Navi Mumbai. Post that, they plan to expand all over India and even overseas.

Mitron has Hip-Hop, commercial and bollywood nights to keep their guests occupied with a great ambience along with lip-smacking cocktails, and cuisine. They also have live music performances once a week and during Sunday brunches.

Mitron is an all day dining place. Although it started out being a place that’s comfortable and cozy, where a group of friends could come to relax, presently they have all types of groups coming in to hang out. It has become a place for friends who like to meet for coffee and a go-to place for a group of friends that likes to party. If you haven’t visited Mitron yet, you should visit the one nearest to you and join the year-round festivities, and if you have visited one outlet, then it is time for you to visit the other four outlets and try out all the exquisite drinks they have to offer.

Adding Health Insurance in a Well-crafted Financial Plan Can Help You Save Tax, Know How!

Health insurance is a critical investment for anyone looking to protect themselves and their families. A comprehensive health insurance plan covers medical and surgical expenses incurred because of a wide range of ailments. Health insurance, on the other hand, does more than just help financially in times of medical emergencies; it also provides tax benefits and is an essential financial tool that must be included in a financial plan. Section 80D of the Income Tax (I-T) Act allows for deductions of up to INR 50,000 for premiums on policies for senior citizens and INR 25,000 for other individuals in your family per year. In layman’s terms, the amount paid as a premium to purchase a policy can be deducted from the taxable income.

Speaking on this topic, Mr. Subramanyam Brahmajosyula, Head – Underwriting & Reinsurance, SBI General Insurance says, “Investing in health insurance at a young age is a wise decision, especially in these days of rising lifestyle diseases.” One can select a plan that best suits their requirements. For self, family, and dependent parents, the Indian Income Tax allows a deduction for the entire premium paid via cheque, bank draft, credit, and debit cards. They must keep the receipts and the policy paperwork handy to keep track of the total amount spent and also study benefits which come with the policy.”

A tax deduction can also be claimed for any add-ons or riders purchased in addition to the existing insurance plan. Furthermore, critical illness coverage and up to Rs. 5,000 paid for preventive medical check-ups can be claimed as part of the total eligible tax benefit.

A good health insurance policy will not only protect you and your loved ones in times of emergency but will help you in strengthening your savings. To protect your health and wealth, it is recommended that you obtain an adequate and comprehensive health insurance plan.

Vedanta Aluminium conducts masterclass to boost productivity of the extrusion industry

New Delhi; 22nd November 2022: Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, conducted a technical masterclass on ways to enhance the productivity of the extrusion industry, with close to 300 participants from nearly 60 leading players in the extrusion segment, hailing from India, US, UK, Portugal, Greece, Australia, Israel and many more countries. Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-section profile by pushing material through a die, giving excellent surface finish and considerable freedom of form in the design process. The masterclass was conducted by one of the world’s leading extrusion experts, Mr. Jonathan Pangborn, who serves as the Technical Advisor of Billet Extrusion for the company’s Customer Technical Services (CTS) cell. The masterclass was a part of Vedanta Aluminium’s plethora of offerings for customers, including new product development, new application development, market development, knowledge & technical expertise, and more. Students from India’s premier technical universities and institutes also attended the session.

Aluminium is the second most important metal in the world today, with unique properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional design flexibility, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and eternal recyclability. These versatile properties of aluminium can be complemented by the versatility of the extrusion process to produce better quality products and increase productivity. Aluminium’s ability to be extruded into any shape – no matter how complex, with tight tolerances, make it an ideal material for design applications that require maximum versatility from a cross-sectional area.

This makes the Aluminium Extrusion Industry unique with specialized requirements. With applications ranging from aviation to automobile, building & construction, infrastructure and more, to maintain a competitive edge, extruders must master the properties of aluminium and deliver speed and excellent quality. Vedanta Aluminium currently offers a wide range of Billets in 1xxx, 3xxx and 6xxx alloy series, to the extrusion industry, tailored to their needs. The masterclass also saw Mr. Alok Ranjan, Chief Marketing Officer – Vedanta Aluminium, and Mr. Ram Sandipam Adhikary, Head – Customer Technical Services – Vedanta Aluminium, share insights on the company’s offerings and industry trends, with the participants.

Speaking about Vedanta Aluminium’s offerings for customers, Mr. Rahul Sharma, CEO – Vedanta Aluminium, said, “As India’s largest producer of aluminium and the country’s largest exporter of billets, we are flagbearers of quality, reliability and manufacturing excellence. Our expertise in producing top-quality aluminium products is matched by our passion to bring global knowledge to the doorsteps of our customers. And hence, we have roped in some of the world’s leading metal experts in aluminium to work with us in augmenting our product and service offerings to our customers. The response to this masterclass has been extremely encouraging, and we plan to conduct many more such knowledge-sharing sessions for our customers going forward.”

Mr. Jonathan Pangborn, Technical Advisor – Extrusion for Vedanta Aluminium, who shared his expert knowledge at the masterclass, added, “Aluminium extrusions find applications in every aspect of modern human life, from the houses we live in, to the airplanes we fly in. With the diversity of aluminium applications rapidly evolving to enable the decarbonization of countries and companies, industries must leverage research knowledge to bring in a step change in their offerings. I am delighted to have the platform offered by Vedanta Aluminium in the form of a masterclass to share technical knowledge on topics such as alloy chemistry, temperature control design, process augmentation, etc. with the extrusion industry.”
