India’s leading real estate advisory 360 Realtors has compiled the top 5 emerging market destination report. The report features Kolshet Road in Thane and Sarjapur Road from Southeast Bangalore. The other 3 emerging destinations from India include Sec-91 & 92 in Gurgaon, Mundhwa in Pune, and Newtown Rajarhat in Kolkata.

The report has been prepared following exhaustive research. These destinations have been chosen based on detailed scrutiny & analysis of a wide variety of market characteristics. Dozens of micro-markets throughout the length and breadth of the city have been examined across critical parameters and accordingly, the top 5 destinations have been identified. These parameters include quarterly market price growth trends, half-yearly transaction growth, present job markets, future growth in employment, and status of physical & social infrastructure. Equal weightage has been given to each parameter.

“In the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Kolshet road has been chosen. Situated near the bustling commercial hub of Ghodbunder Road, Kolshet Road offers a good inventory of “Ready to Move (RTM) property options. The micro-market is conveniently connected with eastern suburbs through Eastern Express Highway. Very soon line 4 of the Mumbai metro will also come in the region”, quoted Ankit Kansal, Founder & MD, 360 Realtors.

In Bangalore, Sarjapur has been featured on the list. As major IT hubs such as Electronic City and Whitefield are becoming saturated, Sarjapur Road is emerging as a prominent realty destination. Most of the major IT hubs in the region are located at an approachable distance of 15-20 km from Sarjapur Road.

Amid a resurgent market, we have compiled the emerging destination report to help discerning buyers with insights, data, and actionable information on the Indian realty. The report can be downloaded directly from the 360 Realtors website”, added Ankit Kansal.

Health

Back pain should not be dismissed as normal and corrective measures are paramount

Oct 30, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Dr Sumit Sinha, #Gurgaon, #Neurosurgeon, #Paras Hospital

Gurgaon: Spinal stenosis is a disorder caused by narrowing of the spinal canal. This happens due to the degeneration of both the facet joints and the intervertebral discs. In this condition, bone spurs (also called osteophytes) can grow into the spinal canal. There is a need to raise awareness on such spinal problems and the importance of recognizing symptoms such as a shooting back pain in a timely manner.

Spine-related changes are not just an outcome of age but also ergonomic issues with our lifestyle. This has exacerbated during the pandemic since many people are working from home. Wrong posture can put pressure on the nerves and lead to back and/or leg pain, possibly leading to complications.

Speaking about this, Dr Sumit Sinha, Neurosurgeon, Paras Hospital, Gurgaon, said, “People are spending more time sitting than ever before due to the pandemic and work from home situation. Most use dining room chairs or other household furniture which are ergonomically unsuitable for work. Core strengthening exercises are important for spine health and provide better protection from lumbar stress fractures or other serious back injuries. The contraction of core muscles stabilizes the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle, all of which are important for people in their daily activities and not just sports of exercise. This is why spinal health should be a key area of focus for everyone rather than being dismissed off as a normal back pain.”

Adding further, Dr Sinha, said, “With a minimally invasive procedure, surgeons can achieve similar results and objectives of traditional surgery by using imaging systems, tiny cameras, and skin incisions about the size of a thumbnail. Surgeons are able to work precisely in smaller surgical fields with less tissue splitting. This type of procedure can offer patients physical and aesthetic advantages.

Some of the treatment options for spinal stenosis include MIS spine surgery, spinal deformity correction, and spinal fusion. The goal of spinal fusion is to restore stability to the spine. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the disc between the vertebrae in order to stabilize the spine. The surgeon will insert material between the vertebrae which will promote the two vertebral bodies to “fuse” into one bone structure. An evolving trend in spinal surgery is minimally invasive surgery. This technique makes the use of smaller incisions to do traditional surgeries through new approaches. The surgeon is aided in this procedure by intra- operative nerve monitoring, navigation, and powered tools.

The report, ‘Digital India: Technology to transform a connected nation’, estimates that 65 million (6.5Cr) new digital jobs will be added to the economy by 2025. This will require not only reskilling a large part of the existing workforce but also getting the 37Mn students studying in higher education in India equipped to enter the modern workplace with the digital skills it requires.

ImaginXP offers a university embedded full-time degree program delivered @campus supported with an online learning platform for accredited skill specializations called ImaginXP MyCoach in partnership with universities and colleges. ImaginXP programs such as MBA in Disruptive Entrepreneurship, B.Des/M.Des – User Experience which has been launched with Sushant University as well as other programs such as AIML, Data Science, IoT, Robotics, Design Thinking, and more are enabling universities to help their students learn the most in-demand skills, connect with the industry and get access to best-in-class faculty.

About ImaginXP: The one embarked on starts in 2013 when ImaginXP came into being with a vision to contribute towards the development of the User Experience ecosystem in India. As the country was going through a digital revolution, the founders of the company realized that the habitat of UX design also needs to grow to create world-class digital products. As the digital revolution was at its peak, these visionary folks wanted to contribute to the country and its economy by providing well trained and efficient UX designers to the market. Thus, began the journey of ImaginXP – a Virtual University Platform for Future Skills in the country.
