Buddha Statue when it was installed on 1st December in 1992, it was the tallest Buddha Statue in India. It is 17 meters height and weights 320 tonnes. It is a monolithic statue carved by 40 sculptures under the guidance of Shri Ganapathi Staoathi. It was transported from Raigur on a heavy carriage that had 192 wheels and it travelled 60 kilometers.

Strict COVID Protocols and COVID Appropriate Behaviour was observed. The seating was on the floor only. However, few chairs were provided for the convenience of elders.

The Morning Musical Concert in a Public Park is a unique concept offered to walkers to enjoy live music while walking. It has no stage. The music lovers either sit on the grass or walk and enjoy themselves. Now for the first time it was extended to Hussain Sagar Lake.

We have suffered enough in the last one year with Corona. If there is anything people want now is feel good and feel great. Medicine cures but music heals. That is the thought behind this. It is a free to listen and enjoy music concert.

The Resort Hotel Felicitates Class IV Municipal Corporation Staff

Dec 2, 2021 by Agency 0 Comments #General Manager, #Resort Hotel, #Satyajit Kotwal

Thanksgiving Week took on an entirely new meaning at the Resort Hotel, Mumbai. The management of the hotel decided to recognise and appreciate the work of the cleaners of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

During the Covid period, while the rest of the hotel staff and management — and indeed, the entire citizenry — were confined in their rooms, these frontline workers were on the roads, keeping the city clean while at the same time having to protect themselves from the virus. They had to brush aside concerns about their own families and children as they were required to focus on maintaining the hygiene of the city. Ironically, they were unable to oversee the hygiene in their own homes during this period.

The hotel organised hi-tea for the workers and followed it up by a free medical check-up for all of them. This included Eye check-up, ECG, complete blood profiling, and consultation with a medical doctor.

Speaking about the event, General Manager, Mr. Satyajit Kotwal said, “When we talk about basic rights, the working classes do not enjoy the respect which is enjoyed by the business classes or other white collared people. The dignity of Labour is a concept preached but not practiced by the affluent class. It is very clear that manual labour is extremely important and necessary for the smooth functioning of society. Giving this class the respect and dignity that are due to them is very essential.”

A BMC staff member declared, “This is the first time somebody has recognized that we too are human with the same concerns that others have. Normally we are taken for granted and blamed when things don’t go well. We thank the Resort for creating awareness about the importance of the work we do.”

The Resort hit upon the idea of using the period around the American Thanksgiving to express thanks and honour the staff of the Municipal Corporation. Each one of them was thanked individually.

This initiative of The Resort can be compared to the pioneering efforts of the first pilgrims who paved the way for the creation of a great nation. It has given a whole new meaning to the dignity of labour, elevating Mumbai’s social ranking among the great cities of the world.

Oct 5, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #General Manager, #Manoj Nair, #Metallic, #NS Bindra, #Vice President & Chief Country Executive at Ingram Micro India

Bengaluru, India– On the heels of its most recent expansion into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Commvault , a recognized global enterprise leader in Intelligent Data Services across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, today announced that its award-winning Metallic™ Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions are now globally available across 30 countries, including in Asia, with portfolio availability in India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Metallic is also now generally available in additional geographies through Metallic managed service provider (MSP) partners.

The Indian SaaS ecosystem has come a long way, with the demand for SaaS products seeing a significant increase across industries. This momentum is expected to continue the trajectory allowing organizations across India to drive both cost and revenue efficiencies.

Commenting on the launch, Anshuman Rai, Area Vice President, India and South Asia, Commvault said, “India’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry has the potential to be valued at $1 trillion by 2030 and the continued increase of cloud adoption by customers in India especially mid-market and small enterprises, makes it one of the largest markets for us to capture. We are excited to bring Metallic’s SaaS data protection technology to India as it offers every digital enterprise, proven enterprise-grade performance for cloud data protection and backup as a service, ensuring flexibility and scalability in today’s hybrid cloud market.”

“As enterprises across APJ adopt cloud services faster than ever, the demand for agile, cloud-delivered data management to mitigate cyberthreats, ensure recoverability, and drive compliance is rising,” said Manoj Nair, General Manager, Metallic. “With today’s news, customers and partners around the globe now have access to Metallic’s unmatched portfolio of cloud-native SaaS offerings to protect all major enterprise workloads at massive scale. Not only that, but Metallic also ensures customers won’t be waiting up to 10 days for a restore – with unique flexibility to protect data close to the source – on-prem, in the cloud, or to the Commvault HyperScale X appliance.”

Metallic provides simple, flexible, and integrated data protection for cloud and hybrid cloud workloads as opposed to point products that solve only part of the problem. Metallic’s capabilities, including breadth of coverage for SaaS applications, endpoints, hybrid cloud datacenter workloads, and its unique SaaS Plus storage flexibility eliminate the need for disparate point solutions and siloed data. With simplified management, reduced infrastructure costs, and fast time to value for customers, Metallic provides quick and easy protection for all data with a simple, easy-to-use SaaS model.

Bringing Metallic innovations to more parts of the world is an ongoing priority for Commvault, as is constant innovation. Metallic recently added to its arsenal with all-new Metallic™ Backup for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Azure Active Directory protection solutions, and enhancements to the Metallic Cloud Storage Service. With the addition of Metallic Backup for Microsoft Dynamics 365, Metallic supports all three Microsoft cloud platforms – Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, and Azure.

“We are thrilled to partner with Commvault to launch the award-winning Metallic SaaS cloud solutions in India as it expands its global presence in Asia with the offering of a BaaS-based comprehensive and robust portfolio. Metallic is truly a cloud-native, SaaS-delivered solution that is timely for Indian enterprise companies looking to address the challenges of storing and protecting their business-critical data. We are proud to continue our growing relationship with Commvault and through Metallic, our customers in India are now better able to seamlessly address growing business concerns around cost, scalability, and security as they protect critical data,” said NS Bindra, Vice President & Chief Country Executive at Ingram Micro India.

Commvault continues to dedicate much of its best talent to support the APJ region, most recently with the appointment of Kelly Chan as Area Vice President for Metallic Sales for APJ. As the new AVP for Metallic in the region, Chan has been appointed to lead the growth trajectory with a dedicated focus on expanding Commvault’s Metallic footprint across APJ as customer requirements region-wide continue to shift to SaaS technologies.

Along with the countries announced today, in total Metallic is available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and more than a dozen countries across Europe through Commvault resellers and distribution partners.

Keeping this in mind, protecting our phones from the various online threats should be our highest priority. The first and the easiest step towards practicing cyber safety is by installing a reliable security solution to our devices. Increasing our cyber maturity and being aware of the constantly evolving threats is also the responsibility of an online user, in order to protect themselves from the nefarious cybercriminals”, said Mr. Dipesh Kaura, General Manager, Kaspersky (South Asia).
