Vietjet positive about the financial recovery with its LCC model despite the loss in the air transportation business in the first half of 2020

Aug 4, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #LCC model, #Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (HOSE: VJC), #Vietnamese airlines’ proposal

Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (HOSE: VJC) reported its business result of 2020’s second quarter, the period that saw the most impact by Covid-19 pandemic. The carrier operated a flight network of 52 domestic routes with 14,000 flights and transported more than two million passengers during the quarter. With its proactive measures, cost optimization and LCC model, the airline’s results in the air transportation business and financial activities are considered positive, making it one of the very few airlines in the world to cope well with the Covid-19 pandemic and confident about its financial recovery.

By the end of Q2/2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Vietjet recorded the air transport revenue at VND1,970 billion (approx. US$84.5 million), a decrease of 54% year-on-year, and a loss of VND1,122 billion (approx. US$48 million). For the first six months of the year, the airline’s loss in air transportation business stands at VND2,111 billion (approx. US$90.5 million), which is considered a modest number compared to the total loss of over US$84 billion for the global aviation industry.

To support the cash flow, Vietjet has proactively sought for partners and implemented many financial solutions such as asset transfer and financial investment, which resulted in a financial revenue of VND1,174 billion (approx. US$50.4 million) with a post-tax consolidated profit of VND1,063 billion (approx. US$45.6 million) in Q2/2020 and a consolidated profit of VND73 billion (approx. US$3.2 million) in H1/2020, increasing the financial resource for the airline’s air transport business.

Aiming to become a new-age carrier, Vietjet always steps upon carrying out commercial solutions based on 4.0 technology platform and mobile application development. Thanks to its tech-based cost optimization capacity, the airline has seen effectiveness when following LCC model, which has been proven to be the right choice for the past economic crises. Vietjet has been proactively implementing cost-saving measures with an average cost drop of 55% due to operation capacity reduction of 30%-35% and service cost decrease around 20%-25%.

As Vietnam opened its sky for domestic operation, Vietjet resumed its entire domestic flight network with 300 daily flights in June, a triple to five times growth compared to daily flights at the country’s Covid-19 pandemic peak. The airline also launched eight new routes to meet rising domestic travel demand, increasing its total domestic flight network to 52 routes with an overall flight operated reached 14,000 flights. Its total passenger carriage reached 1.2 million passengers in June, marking a positive recovery for the domestic market.

The airline’s total asset is VND48,392 billion (approx. US$2.075 billion) with the owner’s equity being at VND17,339 billion (approx. US$745 million) including treasury shares. Its current liquidity is kept at a good rate of 1.4 while debt to equity ratio is 0.57, which are among the lowest rates in the global aviation industry. It allows Vietjet to proceed with its long-term financing plan in order to enhance its internal resources for fighting the current pandemic.

Being active on measures to weather Covid-19 pandemic, Vietjet has implemented many solutions since early 2020, including expanding the cargo transportation business, developing SkyBoss product and ancillary services, offering “Power Pass”, the unlimited flight pass, etc. In particular, Vietjet has also worked on many solutions to increase revenue and optimize operations. It has boosted cargo transport service since April, is the first airline in Vietnam to gain the government’s approval to deploy cargo operations in the passenger cabin (CIPC).

Apart from the effort of the airline itself, the support of the Vietnam government is also anticipated to reduce the pressure and boost aviation recovery. Following the Vietnamese airlines’ proposal, the Government and industry authorities are in consideration of aviation support packages, including exemption of taxes, fees, aviation services, environmental tax exemptions for flight fuels, financial assistance, an extension of the payment term, etc. These supports should be urgent and specific amid the tough situation to strengthen domestic carriers’ resources. All over the world, airlines are strongly supported by local governments to recover from the devastating impacts of the pandemic as it is the crucial sector to stimulate economic development.

Hospital is located on land on a long lease. The first 30 years lease expired in 2007 and the next 30 years lease will end in the year 2037. But, given the yeoman services offered by it to the poor, I urge Government of Telangana to give us Freehold on the land, so that we will construct a new building and expand current 220 beds to 400. We can pump in, raise money and make a huge structure with 1,50,000 sq feet constructed area. We are willing to invest anywhere above Rs 25 crore on such an expansion and if need be we will raise more money, he shared

Further, he added, Mahavir Hospital created 25 bedded COVID wing and if the need arises we will expand it to 100 beds, shared Mahavir Hospital Chairman.

The JITO-CCC will have three doctors and nurses 24×7 stationed in the premises itself shared Ashok Kothari who worked tirelessly behind this project. The idea behind this care Center is to provide affordable care. We are even willing to admit deserving poor for free on a case to basis and the need, he shared

Manoj Dugar, Chairman of JITO, Hyderabad Chapter said it is a community service project. We unitedly want to help fellow citizens in this hour of crisis. JITO has 15000 members all over the world he shared.

Jain International Trade Organization (JITO) is a worldwide body of Jains is committed to spiritual awakening to perpetuate the Jain principles of non- violence, noble charities among others for a peaceful world with compassion towards all living beings and as a result have a harmonious and a happy world informed Vinod Ranka.

As private hospitals fleecing patients, the victims of Corona are more terrified about going to hospitals rather than Corona. In this light of the background, JITO has decided to come and offer the most affordable solution.

Urban Indian youth says ‘IT’S NOT OK’ to sexual harassment

Aug 4, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #“IT’S NOT OK”, #a feisty entrepreneur, #Be.artsy, #POSH (prevention of sexual harassment) awareness programs., #Shikha Mittal

Be.artsy, India’s premier awareness enterprise has recently established a baseline of awareness levels among educated urban Indian youth on sexual harassment.

Be.artsy was started by Shikha Mittal, a feisty entrepreneur, while in her early twenties, when she had to shift multiple jobs, having faced sexual harassment in eight companies in rapid succession. Realising that laws depend on implementation by officials with little awareness of the adverse impact of such harassment, Mittal decided that raising social awareness and subsequently converting it to action, would be her mission in life.

While Be.artsy runs awareness programs on diverse issues like financial literacy and road safety, prevention of sexual harassment has been its flagship program. Since 2010, over 25,000 people at workplaces have undergone training sessions through Be.artsy’s POSH (prevention of sexual harassment) awareness programs. The proprietary “IT’S NOT OK” campaign, started in 2018, has been well received by British Telecom, MediaTek, Tata Coffee, Volvo cars, Sterling and Wilson and Yulu Bikes.

Catch them early

Youth has been Mittal’s prime target. Be.artsy has organised V4V: Be on the street, a prestigious street-theatre based youth festival, since 2010. Shortly before COVID19 hit India, Be.artsy had surveyed V4V participants on sexual harassment. The survey received over 1200 responses, making this one of the most robust surveys on the topic, among youth in urban India. Following the V4V footprint, the responses were mainly from Delhi, Maharashtra, UP, Haryana and Karnataka.

As expected, youth were slightly more aware than older people of what constitutes sexual harassment, and unfortunately, men continue to think that this is a women’s problem. The response rate for the survey was a high 50% for women and a below-average 24% for men. The average age of respondents was 21. Women averaged 22 years, while men averaged 19 years old. Half of the respondents were under 21.

Confusion abounds

Most young people are unaware that what they are experiencing or witnessing constitutes sexual harassment. They seem to be under the impression that violence or sexual assault needs to be involved for any action to be sexual harassment. Up to 50% men and 32% of women are unaware that requests for sexual favours are a form of sexual harassment. 26% to 37% men and 10% to 26% women are unaware that circumstances surrounding the actions, like coercion by threats/benefits in exchange for sexual favours, are factors in determining whether the actions constitute sexual harassment. Physical contact, unwelcome sexual conduct and showing pornography are more easily identified as sexual harassment (85% to 88%), yet, 12% -15% don’t even recognise these obvious forms! Men’s lack of recognition is as bad as 23%. A small, but very confused, minority consider any form of sexual activity at all as harassment.

It’s common, it’s enraging, but youth feel helpless

Sadly, most respondents have faced sexual harassment already. 57% of women and even 17% of men report yes. An additional 16% are unsure whether what they experienced is sexual harassment, but they suspect it is. Only 22% of women have not been harassed, while 66% of men were free from harassment. 72% of women and 58% of men know someone who has been sexually harassed. 15% suspect, but aren’t sure. Either because they are not sure that incidents they know about constitute sexual harassment, or maybe the victim didn’t confirm it. Men seem to be more oblivious of sexual harassment of their peers, 27% saying they don’t know of any case. More women (97%) than men (95%) are aware that men, too, can be sexually harassed. Certainly, this is a live issue. However, Be.artsy has found during its POSH campaigns that older, more senior people, who are in positions where they can make a difference, think this is a minor problem, and that incidence is low.

Unfortunately, the redressal mechanisms put in place by law do not inspire confidence. Hearteningly, youth don’t want to take it lying down. 85% are sure that the victim should take action, though men are twice as likely to advise silence than women. Going to the police is most popular at 64%, followed by telling family at 58%. Men are 16% more likely to go to the police and 7% more likely take matters in their own hands than women. 8% more women than men would tell peers. The POSH Committee/ICC/Dean or HR are seen as viable by only about 40% of people. Professors/ managers are even less trusted at 27%.

In general, urban Indian youth is somewhat aware of what sexual harassment is, but Mittal would like the numbers to be much higher than 70% for ‘herd immunity’. Mittal says that awareness of sexual harassment and other gender-based crimes can only be created by focusing early education on bodily autonomy and informed consent. As an expert in facilitating conversations on this almost-taboo topic, she says that building empathy, understanding one’s rights and responsibilities, and commitment by the leaders of organisations are the critical base on which efforts to eliminate sexual harassment and other gender violence have to be based. It is heartening that young India is more aware and more empathetic than the previous generations.

SRM AP faculty receives the prestigious grant by DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance

Aug 3, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #‘Early Career Fellowship’ grant, #Assistant Professor, #Department of Biology, #Dr. Sutharsan Govindarajan, #SRM University-AP

Dr. Sutharsan Govindarajan, Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, SRM University-AP has been awarded the prestigious ‘Early Career Fellowship’ grant by DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance, funded by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Wellcome Trust, United Kingdom. The fellowship supports outstanding young scientists to pursue high-quality research in the field of biomedical science and establish themselves as independent researchers in India. Dr. Sutharsan sought a total research grant of 1.1 crore for a period of 5 years as a DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance Early career fellow. The India Alliance grants are highly competitive and are based on the profile of the applicant and the novelty and the importance of the proposed research. Nationwide only less than 10 Early Career grants are awarded every year. Dr Sutharsan is a highly accomplished scientist, having published research articles in highly reputed journals, including the most prestigious Nature and Nature Microbiology. Through this fellowship, Dr. Sutharsan will establish an independent research laboratory at SRM University – AP with the support of Prof. Jayaseelan, Head, Department of Biology, and the fellowship supervisor of the project.

In this project, Dr. Sutharsan plans to venture and explore the biology of a novel class of bacteriophages called Jumbo-phages. “Bacteriophages, which are the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are viruses that infect bacteria but do not harm humans. Jumbo-phages, as the name suggests, are giant viruses with large genome. A sneak peek into their lifestyle during my postdoctoral research led me, to realize that these phages build fascinating complex structures inside the bacteria they infect. Such complex structures are well known to be formed in eukaryotic cells like human cells but was not thought to be made by bacteriophages, which have evolved billions of years before eukaryotes. Thus, studying how such cellular structures are formed by jumbo-phages provides a unique opportunity to investigate the origin of complex life” informs Dr. Sutharsan. He also explains that the proposed research has several biotechnological applications such as phage therapy and synthetic biology.

Dr. Sutharsan further shares, “This is one the best fellowships a young scientist can obtain in India. It is an honour, prestige and a recognition for the scientist as well as to the University. In the next 5 years, I anticipate major fundamental discoveries in the field of bacteriophage biology and evolution”.

American Camp Association Offers Context on CDC Study and Implications for Back to School

Aug 2, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #American Camp Association, #Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, #COVID-19

Martinsville, IN: Today’s Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) study of a single summer camp’s Covid-19 infections tells an incomplete story. To better understand summer camp safety in 2020, start with a clear understanding that thousands of camps are successfully operating this summer.

“Camps are at the forefront of child safety during this pandemic,” said Tom Rosenberg, American Camp Association Chief Executive Officer. “When camps consistently use the innovative, multi-layered safety strategy outlined in our Field Guide for Operating Camps in COVID-19 , we see that many of them minimize infections as well as the spread of COVID-19. However, infections increase if people become lax or inconsistent. The most important safety layer is a culture of compliance.”

The American Camp Association (ACA) engaged leading experts to develop educational resources for camps to run safe in-person programming for summer 2020. This included the Field Guide for Camps in COVID-19, developed by an independent and external expert panel of specialists in pediatric medicine, infectious disease management, biological safety, industrial hygiene, organizational design, and more.

The early released version of the CDC study, “SARS-CoV-2 Transmission and Infection Among Attendees of an Overnight Camp — Georgia, June 2020,” only looked at what happened when a single camp did not implement all of the elements of the ACA Field Guide and the CDC’s guidance. “But more than 3,000 day and overnight camps are running in-person programming for children across the US this summer,” shared Rosenberg. “We have so many success stories, from overnight camps who have not had a single infection, to day camps who have safely managed large groups of children every day, to virtual camps who made a profound difference for medically vulnerable children.

By the end of this summer, millions of kids will have benefited from positive and safe experiences at camps. The ACA can now answer:
· What have we learned that we can apply to Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade and after school?
· – What have been parents’ top worries? How have camps met their concerns?
· – As schools decide between in-person classes, or virtual learning, what have camps discovered about the pros and cons of both formats?
· – How will schools and extra-curricular activities need to evolve to help pandemic kids?
· – What sort of programming best counteracts the social, emotional and physical damage to these “pandemic children?”
· – The evolution of children: 9/11 kids, to digital Gen-Zers, to COVID kids
· – Looking ahead to Camp 2021 – What should we expect?

The ACA serves as a leading voice for child development, and will soon have significant data to share. This summer, ACA launched several landmark studies to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on children, families, and camps. Study findings will be available later this fall.

“Perhaps the most important story of Camp 2020 is the least reported story,” said Rosenberg. “Camp directors reported that many children arrived feeling anxious, out of shape or disconnected. They desperately sought – and ultimately found — the belonging, independence and resilience they have needed for months. If schools are going to be successful this fall, they must act on what we’ve learned at camp this summer.”
