MyGate in Association with I2Cure commences the ‘Breaking the Pandemic Chain’ Movement Across its 15,000 Societies in PAN India

New Delhi, 04th May 2021: With the rising influx of COVID-19 cases in its second wave, MyGate has collaborated with I2Cure to secure its 15,000 gated societies across Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Noida, Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Kolkata, and Chennai against the pandemic spread. I2Cure’s patented BioShield™ Antiseptic Lotion, a single-use, broad-spectrum antimicrobial that offers the protection of iodine against COVID-19 for six hours at a stretch, is a significant step up from existing alcohol-based solutions, which are merely disinfectants. With I2Cure’s solution, MyGate which has recognized the superficial nature of sanitizers and disinfectants, and their limited usefulness is bringing this state-of-the-art solution to all its societies across India ahead of time. This collaboration with I2Cure will see MyGate assisting gated communities to strengthen their protection against the deadly virus.

Elaborating on the initiative, Mr. Abhishek Kumar, COO & Co-founder, MyGate, says, “With the MyGate collaboration, gated communities can now get direct access to I2Cure BioShield™. It is a matter of pride for us to enable this for our communities, who, in turn, have already shown strong interest in using the product to break the transmission chain. MyGate recognizes the Biocidal benefits of Molecular Iodine (I2) and would offer the I2Cure protection to the communities registered with itself. This movement has the potential to dramatically slow down the spread of the virus in urban India.”

Ramesh Menon, Director – Marketing Strategy & Distribution, I2Cure, says, “Our product is currently the most effective COVID-19 preventive available to the masses, and we are happy to partner with MyGate to bring it to the gates of its 15,000 communities, to ensure the safety of the millions that reside therein as well as the millions of people, from daily help to delivery executives, that visit them on a daily basis. This tie-up is an extension of our common vision of ‘keeping communities safe’ by breaking the chain of transmission. Also, the frontline service providers to communities like security & maintenance staff, house-helps, drivers and facility people, etc. are also vulnerable. RWAs can extend the benefit of I2Cure’s 99.999% protection to this audience too”.

With education institutions and offices closed and public transport drastically reduced, gated communities are among the most active congregations and remain potential hotspots for the virus. The majority of housing societies are taking numerous precautions – ensuring that visitors and staff wear masks, running a temperature check at the entry point – however, the virus transmission via the surface remains a major concern. With the BioShield™, housing societies can protect themselves from this risk to a great extent, enabling life to return to near normal within the society.

While sanitizers offer protection only on application, BioShield’s molecular iodine solution percolates under the skin, acting as a shield against any virus and germs for six hours at a stretch. With a single application at the gate or at their homes, residents can be protected from the possibility of being infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This will result in a significant drop in the potential number of virus carriers, thereby breaking the chain of transmission. The product’s development has been guided by Dr. Jack Kessler, whose more than 2-decade-old research into molecular iodine has led to several advancements in the field and the successful development of I2Cure without the negative characteristics of staining, irritation, toxicity, and the risk of acidosis. In addition to a global launch, I2Cure is currently in discussion with public health bodies for the mass distribution of the BioShield™.

During the pandemic, MyGate has introduced a number of new features and inked partnerships to enhance the safety of the 2.5 million families that reside in its communities.

Park+ partners with MyGate to bring integrated vehicle management to gated communities

Park+, India’s leading provider of automated smart parking solutions has entered into a partnership with MyGate, India’s largest community management solution provider, to bring a seamlessly integrated vehicle management system to the residential market. The collaboration will see a complete integration of MyGate and Park+ offerings. The solution will be available to gated communities that use MyGate across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai, with other major metros to follow in the next two quarters.

The management of vehicles at the gate and within the community is a pain point for multiple stakeholders. For example, residents must go through a needless check at the gate every time they seek entry, while the resident welfare association incurs the capital expenditure of the boom barrier and higher security costs. This integration will resolve these and a few ancillary issues as well.

Residents of MyGate communities can have their vehicles fitted with Park+’s radio frequency identification (RFID) tags that will automatically trigger the opening and closing of the gate or boom barrier, making their entry and exit seamless. Any such movement will also lead to notification within the MyGate app, thereby acting as an anti-theft alert for residents, too. These features will also have significant upside for gated communities, particularly as the management of all the hardware and integrations is being offered in a pay-as-you-go model, ensuring all systems are always in working order. Furthermore, this will strongly reduce congestion at the main gate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of security personnel as resident vehicle movement will also be recorded digitally.

Amit LakhotiaLokhatia, Founder, Park+, said, “Since its inception, Park+ has been committed to leveraging innovation and technology to solve the parking issues that vehicles owners are faced with on a daily basis. Simplifying residential parking within sprawling gated communities is a big step towards this goal. To this end, Park+ has built a robust automated system to help residential societies and corporate to authenticate and control access of their premises to authorised vehicles. We are excited to partner with MyGate to provide an integrated access solution to residential societies across India. This will not only save time for residents but also help in reducing car thefts significantly in these societies. We are looking forward to a long and lucrative partnership with MyGate, that results in further innovations and overall progress for the industry.”

Commenting on the tie-up, Mr. Abhishek Kumar, COO and Co-Founder, MyGate, said, “The authentication of vehicles is a time-consuming process at the gate. This collaboration is another step in our strive to offer an integrated solution to communities.”
