Furthering its goal of ‘health for all’ even during the pandemic, the Integrated Health and Wellbeing (IHW) Council has partnered with Project StepOne, a non-profit volunteer-driven collective of 7000 doctors, for a shared vision and objective.

Since the beginning of lockdown and through the staged unlocks, IHW Council has made significant and sustained headway in providing scientifically-valid information to people on a host of topics under the banners of ‘Gratitude Memorial for Health Workers’, ‘Care during Coronavirus’, ‘Good Air Warriors’, and ‘India IVF Summit’, to mention a few, comprising over dozens of web-based sessions with a collective audience reach of over 5 lakh people.

Mr. Kamal Narayan, CEO, IHW Council, says, “Coronavirus is reaching the smaller cities and it is more urgent than before that people reduce going out unless unavoidable. Project StepOne is a timely intervention that will reduce the burden on the existing healthcare infrastructure and enable people to access their health needs without going out. As a premier think tank encouraging preventive and promotive healthcare, we value this association that will serve people with both COVID and non-COVID queries as well as those who need mental health support and hope to make the services of StepOne accessible to more people. We believe that this association will also help more people realize the extraordinary contribution of the medical fraternity in this fight against the pandemic and rally their support behind the IHW Council’s petition, especially in the states where they are already providing service, to build a memorial for healthcare warriors.”

High Standards & Compliance

Pharmaceuticals and healthcare demand high compliance and to manufacturing, quality and patient care standards. Hence, it becomes critical for leaders to ensure the right resources and technologies are made available to meet these exacting standards to develop and maintain a highly-skilled workforce. Detailed knowledge, operational discipline and quality control are desired and conventional training approaches have not delivered expected results.

Pathway to Excellence

Immersive technologies like VR and AR, infused with learning approaches identified from research in brain science enable greater understanding, retention and confidence. This contributes to excellence and fewer human errors in the workplace. Sophisticated AR/VR solutions will allow learners to enter a virtual or augmented learning environment enabling them to grasp effectively, test their skills, and review their performance with no-consequence and risks.

AR/VR technologies equip the manufacturing units with a high degree of control through smart visual and audio prompts, real-time assistance, hyper-realistic visual cues, natural & life-like interactions; psychophysics based emphatic learning, and making intelligent decisions with information overlay, driving consistency into the production cycle. Building a robust supply chain and practical logistics is imperative for the healthcare sector.

CarBikeMovers Now Become India’s Largest Transport Network

Aug 9, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #carbikemovers, #carbikemovers.com, #Founder, #Rupal Bansal

Gurgaon, India: It may be noted that while the logistics business is fairly developed and technology abled, the packers and movers sector still lacks that advantage. When carbikemovers.com entered this market, 5 years back, the industry was scattered and unprofessional. There were individual bike transport companies who were handling the main transport business. The bigger packers and movers were mostly handling the home shifting business and car transport was still unorganised. With the expansion of carbikemovers.com began the process of transforming the transport network in India. What started off as a small network of bike movers, now forms the backbone of the car shifting and bike transport segment.

From a handful of IBA approved shifting companies attached to the website to thousands of trusted transport companies now, the business has come a long way. Carbikemovers.com now not only serves the customers by connecting them with the best shifting services but has also proved to be a boon for these smaller transport companies. A lot of professionalism has come into the shifting business with a big company like carbikemovers expanding its services. The shifting solutions offered have increased and so has the quality. The handling of vehicles, safety during shifting and customer handling have all gone many notches up with a professional company entering the sector.

Rupal Bansal, founder, carbikemovers.com told us about the journey, “We have now completed 5 years of serving the transport industry in India. We pride ourselves on being the top car and bike shifting aggregators in India with the largest transport network. We also feel immense satisfaction in the lakhs of happy customers we have served and the millions of business that we have provided tour hard working transporters. We hope to bring technological advancements and more professionalism in the business as the time advances.”

Carbikemovers.com is the logistics arm of Mynaa Tech Services Pvt. Ltd. and has been the pioneer in this business. The company has made major inroads in the logistics business and been at the helm of many new services. The website has supported several smaller transport companies and businesses by being an aggregators and listing them on their platform. The marketing opportunities offered by the website to small transport companies are huge for these beneficiaries. Currently, the company is celebrating its 5th year of incorporation and continues to serve the customers with more zeal and providing new breakthroughs in its shifting solutions.

We are very excited that the world of fashion, technology and sustainability is coming together on the Women Inspiring Network platform. Ms. Stuti Jalan, Founder, WIN quotes, “Sustainability is the present and the future, it’s time that we have this conversation with the students and young professionals who will adopt sustainable fashion as a lifestyle inspired by an amazing set of panellist’s who are going to take the concept of sustainability forward.” Further, she adds, “The focus of the discussion will be on the changing face of fashion and how technology is now playing a role in it, Digital transformation which has taken place in the fashion industry, digital fashion weeks and share case studies, blockchain fashion system which designers are adapting in India.”

We are ecstatic to take the conversation forward with Ms Bandana Tewari, a lifestyle editor, a sustainable fashion activist and formerly the editor-at-large as well as the fashion features director of Vogue India.

We are glad to have Ms Roma Narsinghania, Artisanal Jewelry Designer who is participating in the Helsinki Fashion Week with this year’s focus on 3D Technology and Digital Sustainability. She quips, “Reimagining design to bring functionality and innovation is not a choice, it is a necessity. During this time, as brands, we need to imagine a better future which encourages conscious and ethical practices and use that to design for a new kind of consumer and environment. While we are moving away from certainty, it is also opening up an abundance of new opportunities such as integrating digital tools starting from the brands’ decentralized supply chain where handmade can become more efficient to visual communication with a completely new way of storytelling.”

Mr Adhiraj Singh, Art Director, Lota Design LOTA is an exploration into the intersection of sustainability, fashion and emerging technology. It aims to give a new life to tones of fabric waste discarded every hour by the mainstream fashion industry by collaging it into newer experiences.

He says “There’s a paradigm shift happening within the visual communication landscape as the tools for 3D, UI/UX, AR/VR and publishing continue to improve and get more democratized. It’s extremely exciting as the traditional dependence on physical systems, be it, photographers, set designers, environments or models can be replaced by photorealistic digital ones. More importantly, besides being a less wasteful way to create the imagery, it has opened up its key value- The possibility for untethered storytelling. This was once restricted by cost, teams and physical restraints but are now only being restricted by our imagination. The pandemic seems to have only accelerated this shift as brands continue to realize its value. I am happy to see this initiative bridging the gap between the creative and technology communities.”
