Mar 14, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #CNBC-TV18, #Delhi, #Dr. Naresh Trehan, #Growth Summit, #Max Life Insurance, #Prashant Kumar, #Virendra Sehwag, #YES BANK

14th March: The Delhi edition of YES BANK and CNBC-TV18’s – The Growth Summit: A Vision to a $10 Trillion Economy, in association with Max Life Insurance, was organised on Wednesday. The summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, startup founders, and a diverse range of experts to engage in substantive discussions regarding India’s economic growth. The primary focus of the summit centred on the government’s ambitious 25-year plan aimed to position India as the world’s third-largest economy, boasting a GDP of $10 trillion.

A spokesperson from CNBC-TV18 extended a warm welcome to the attendees, moving to the opening remarks by Prashant Kumar, MD & CEO of YES Bank. “In the last few years, we have witnessed large investments in the infrastructure landscape, taking the country to the next-level. India has come out as a strong force with all the headwinds happening around the world, and to continue that, we need to remain self-insulated and self-reliant. Moving towards becoming the third largest economy is not enough; the ultimate goal should be that every Indian benefits from this growth. It is crucial for all of us to work collaboratively and focus on areas including—inclusivity with growth, manufacturing, boosting exports, supporting MSME and the startup ecosystem and funding innovation. The involvement of the government and private sector together is the key to achieving the $10 trillion economy plan.”

During his address, Mr Kumar announced the launch of ‘Yes Private’ in Delhi, which is the Bank’s newest market offering that aims to partner HNI Business owners and C-Suite executives in their endeavour to leverage the opportunities on the road towards a $10 trillion Indian economy.

The event kicked off with a fireside chat on ‘Leading from the front: How to Live up to your Strategic Vision’ in conversation with Mr Suresh Narayanan, CMD, Nestle India he said, I feel fortunate to be a part of a 160-year-old company that values providing experiences to people, not just selling products. Nowadays, digitisation has levelled the playing field for everyone, and e-commerce and AI are helping us plan better. However, with tech being such a driving force presently, we need to utilise it responsibly and remember technology is here to serve mankind and not the other way around. Lastly, trust, empathy and compassion are not just buzzwords and the long-lived companies are going to be those where this five letter ‘TRUST’ is placed in everything they do.” The discussion was moderated by Ms Sheeren Bhan, Managing Editor, CNBC-TV18.

The event continued with another interesting thought-provoking discussion on ‘Unveiling Indian Healthcare as a Model of Growth & Excellence’ in conversation with Dr Naresh Trehan, Executive Chairman, Medanta he stated “Every person in India deserves access to decent healthcare. With the introduction of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, the industry has extended a lifeline to over 500 million individuals who were previously left out of the healthcare facility. It’s surprising to admit that healthcare expenses alone are driving 2 to 4% of our population below the poverty line each year. Considering the extent of our nation’s growth, with a population increasing by 25 million annually, the challenge before us is immense, but the steps taken by the current government through Ayushman Bharat have provided immense relief.”

Subsequently, there was another fireside chat on ‘Betting Big One on India: Identifying New Growth Opportunities’, Mr Sunil Vachani, Chairman, Dixon Technologies.

The fireside chat was followed by a special address by Mr. Prashant Tripathy, MD & CEO, Max Life Insurance. He said, “In India’s pursuit of becoming a $10 trillion economy, visionary policy initiatives stand as cornerstones of inclusive growth. From pioneering financial inclusion schemes and the development of robust digital infrastructure to the progress of our vibrant start-up ecosystem- these collective endeavours underscore the remarkable journey we’ve undertaken as an economy in the last decade. As we stride forward, India must prioritize policies that foster innovation, technological advancement, tackle income inequality, and promote sustainable development practices. These critical areas demand our unhindered focus, as we inch towards an economy that unlocks sustained development for one and all.”

The evening continued with an engaging panel discussion on ‘Facilitating the Emerging Stars of Indian Business’ with insights from industry experts Mr Akshay Ghulati (Co-founder & COO, Shiprocket); Mr Anirudh Arun (Co-founder, CEO, BluSmart Fleet) and Mr. Ish Babbar (Cofounder & CTO, Insurance Dekho).

The evening continued with an engaging conversation with Virendra Sehwag, Former Indian Cricketer. Talking about how the Indian team can bring home the World Cup, he said, “We need to play it like a knockout match, be brave and fearless and most importantly, make the right decision on the field. India has never lacked talent; we need to play aggressive cricket and not worry about winning.”

Concluding the summit was a thought-provoking session conducted by Kumaar Bagrodia, leading Neuroscientist & Founder of NeuroLeap, on ‘The Neuroscience of Investing’.

The Delhi edition of ‘The Growth Summit – Vision for a $10 trillion Economy’ underscored India’s trajectory towards economic prosperity as industry leaders and experts converged to chart a path towards a $10 trillion economy.

Indian women Hosts earned over INR 2 Billion (200 Crores) through hosting on Airbnb in 2023

Mar 7, 2024 by Mansi Praharaj 0 Comments #Airbnb, #Amanpreet Bajaj, #Delhi, #Inspire Inclusion, #Sayani Gupta

Delhi, India, March 7, 2024: This International Women’s Day, Airbnb is celebrating the growing community of women Hosts and female Guests who play a vital role in the hospitality sector. Embracing this year’s International Women’s Day theme, ‘Inspire Inclusion’, Airbnb recognises the diverse and dynamic ways in which women leverage the platform to foster economic opportunities, inclusivity and entrepreneurship across India.

In 2023, women Hosts in India, constituting nearly 30% of the country’s Airbnb hosting community[1], have been instrumental in creating unique guest experiences. Indian women Hosts collectively earned over INR 2 billion (approximately 200 crores / USD 28 million) in 2023[2], showcasing the profound impact of women in stimulating local economies and supporting community growth. These women not only offer exceptional experiences to travellers but also empower others by creating job opportunities, especially for those in underserved communities.

Talking about her hosting journey on Airbnb, Superhost Anooradha who has been hosting since 2017 said, “I find great fulfilment in engaging with individuals who share similar interests and values. This passion prompted me to embark on my Airbnb journey seven years ago, initially hosting guests at the retreat nestled within our holiday home. While the supplementary income has certainly been beneficial, what truly resonates with me is the platform’s ability to foster meaningful connections with guests. These connections, in my view, are immensely empowering. For any women considering embarking on their own hosting venture, I encourage you to infuse your personal touch, warmth, and creativity in your home. This is what ultimately creates a memorable and distinctive experience for guests.”

Sharing her story, Superhost Sumana said, “As a female residing in the vibrant city of Bhubaneswar, hosting on Airbnb has led me to a path of inner strength while pursuing my passions and garnering financial independence. Transitioning from a corporate job to becoming a full-time host has brought me immense stability and peace. It allows me to forge meaningful connections with guests from all over the country while immersing myself in their stories and experiences. The satisfaction of accommodating guests’ needs and witnessing their joy remains a heartwarming reward for me. I look forward to more such experiences to serve and connect with people and inspire more women to embark on this unique journey of strength and resilience.”

Talking about the role women are increasingly playing in enabling the platform and highlighting Airbnb’s dedication to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community, Amanpreet Bajaj, General Manager – Airbnb India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan said, “Women play a vital role in fueling economies, by driving growth & social transformation. At Airbnb, we are committed to creating an inclusive, diverse, equitable community for our women Hosts & guests. Our commitment goes beyond supporting individual hosts; we also collaborate with government partners to ensure communities everywhere can thrive in our evolving travel landscape. By promoting safe, respectful, and welcoming spaces, Airbnb aims to empower women hosts and travellers alike, envisioning travel as a powerful tool for global empowerment and connection.”

On the other hand, Indian women travellers, particularly Millennials, are increasingly choosing Airbnb for their travel needs[3]. In terms of choice of destinations for women guests, top domestic destinations domestically in 2023 included Goa, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune, Dehradun, and Jaipur while internationally, destinations like London, Dubai, Toronto, Paris, New York City, Milan, Rome, Bangkok were popular[4].

Last year, a large segment of the Indian women guests preferred to travel solo, or in duos. Infact, 30% of the Indian women guests travelled solo in 2023[5]. National Parks, iconic cities, tropical, private rooms and pools were the most booked categories by Indian women guests in 2023[6].

Talking about travelling on Airbnb, Actor, Sayani Gupta shares, “Over the past few years the ‘solo travel’ trend has been adopted by women all across India. For me personally, solo travel has always been my source of solace, with Airbnb consistently serving as my preferred travel companion. Airbnb is not just a place to stay but a gateway to embracing independence while forging new experiences and connections. As a frequent solo traveller, Airbnb has enabled me to explore the world through diverse accommodations, offering a unique lens on every journey, ensuring safety. This Women’s Day, I commend Airbnb’s commitment to providing comfort for avid female travellers like myself, while also empowering others with a platform to embark on their entrepreneurial journey as hosts.”

Fruzzanté, launches in Delhi and Arunachal Pradesh

Jun 17, 2022 by Agency 0 Comments #Arunachal Pradesh, #Delhi, #Fruzzanté

Fruzzanté, the one-of-its-kind sparkling 100% fruit wine that has introduced the Indian consumers to a unique farm-to-bottleexperience, is now available in the National Capital as well as in the land of the rising sun – Arunachal Pradesh. The brand from Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd (HZWPL) has been creating ripples in the domestic market already since inception.

In the wake of the pandemic, there has been a rapid surge in the demand for home consumption of high-quality alcoholic beverages (alcobev). Companies are moving in to encash this ready-to-drink (RTD) segment with a diversity of products. As one of the fastest growing alcoholic beverages markets, expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2020 to 2023, India presents a great opportunity for alcobev producers.

Launched in 2017, Fruzzantéhas grown from strength to strength and rapidly expanded its footprint in different states across India. A ‘Make in India’ product, it is made from 100% premium quality fresh fruits grown in the state of Maharashtra. It is a gluten-free, vegan drink that has no added colour or flavour.

Speaking about this, Priyanka Save, Founder and MD, Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd, said,“Fruzzantéis a brand that truly represents the ‘spirit of India’. We have pioneered the farm-to-table concept wherein we have made alcoholic beverages out of a fruit like Chikoo which was almost unthinkable in the past. This has made us grow sustainably and enabled a large number of farmers to earn better livelihood by their association with us.”

HZWPL has also produced India’s first-ever premium dessert mead brand called Arkä. Arkä is made from honey extracted from beehives that is then fermented and presented as mead, a drink that has been mentioned in ancient scriptures dating back to 100 BC. After its success in Maharashtra, Karnataka & Goa, the brand will now be available in Arunachal Pradesh. Arkä Wildflower Honey and Arkä Rose are the two variants that would be available in Arunachal Pradesh.

Deepak Bhatnagar, CEO & Chairman, Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd, “Our plans were to reach whole of India by end of 2022, but pandemic slowed down the process. Since the end of 2021 we have managed to expedite the process, we launched Goa at the end of 2021 followed by Karnataka in 2022 and now we are ecstatic to enter the National Capital market as well as Arunachal Pradesh. Soon, we will also be unveiling Fruzzanté in Meghalaya, Sikkim, Assam,and West Bengal. I believe Fruzzanté will prove to be a refreshing gamechanger in the Wine industry!”
