Skill Sequel creates the best upcoming generation IT professionals through its ‘Pay After Placement’ opportunities

The India Saga Saga |

One does not necessarily need to be a prodigy in the twenty-first century, since every job from administration to finance is so technologically driven, all that is required is to be intelligent enough to surpass. Companies also take this into account when deciding on the minimal educational requirement when hiring, which is typically only a graduate degree. Therefore, a professional graduate degree is paramount in shaping a prosperous and long-lasting career. Moreover, with increasing competition and everyone aspiring to have a stable job with good compensation, it is imperative to gain a competitive advantage over others. Many take a step ahead by opting for top job-oriented courses after graduation to get an edge over the competition. These courses equip individuals with job-specific skills and deep knowledge of practical concepts that can be used in contemporary business.

 

Skill Sequel is one platform that offers “Job oriented Industry ready training” on high-demand IT domains with ‘Pay After Placement’ opportunities. The students who enroll here are asked to pay the course fee only after they land their dream job with a minimum package of 5 LPA. Skill Sequel course structure is specially designed to assist you with learning domains relevant to industry requirements. It provides graduating final-year students and recent graduates with live Instructor-led online hands-on training in order to assist them to get their ideal career. Most of the industry’s in-demand domains are covered by this training. Precisely the six domains, which are Data Science and Artificial intelligence, Business Analysis and Intelligence, Cloud Computing and DevOps, Full Stack Web Development, Ethical Hacking and Cyber Security, and Digital Marketing and Analysis. 

 

The course includes 100+ mini-projects, 50+ case studies, 300+ assignments, 500+ quizzes, and 10+ capstone projects. This is how it makes sure to cover the entire domain and not just the basics like other EdTechs. The criteria differ from six months to nine months to even twelve months internship options. Sharing his take on the domain, the founder of Skill Sequel stated, “It is not surprising that the majority of Indian students lack the financial means to enroll in expensive programs and develop lucrative careers. The cost of attending public colleges and universities is practically out of reach for the typical person. Most students have little choice but to take on considerable debt in order to have access to high-quality higher education. Despite this, given their lack of skills, their employment may still be in danger after they graduate. Hence, the new notion of ‘pay after placement’, a student only pays for education and training if they are offered a job with competitive compensation. Hence, making it more convenient for the economically weaker segment ”

 

Due to the founder’s commitment to helping those in need, the platform only charges a fraction of what its competitors in the industry do for similar courses. In addition to offering such reasonable pricing, the site donates 5% of its earnings to assist underprivileged kids by covering their costs for uniforms, books, supplies, and school fees. One another intrinsic feature of the platform which makes it one-of-a-kind is the ‘No Income Share Agreement’, which means students only have to sign the simple agreement and are not bound to the platform in any other particular form to pay a certain share of their monthly income. With the intent to train in a way to clear all the hurdles in achieving success, It begins from the very roots so students don’t have to worry about the pre-requests. The only thing one needs to have is dedication toward learning and Skill Sequel’s mentorship here takes care of the job placement.

Take a walk on the journey of existence with author Acharya Prashant and his new book, “Maya – I bow to thee, you cannot be overcome

The India Saga Saga |

If you are someone who is really interested in spirituality then “Maya – I bow to thee, you cannot be overcome,” by national bestselling author Acharya Prashant will definitely give you some interesting insights to consider. Published by Jaico Publishing House, the book takes us on a journey of exploring the spiritual and the philosophical world to understand our existence in accordance with Maya.

 

With Maya, Acharya Prashant breaks our interpretation of the thin line between the world we live in and the world we perceive as. He describes the true meaning of Maya beautifully and tries to make us understand it in the simplest way possible.

 

He tells us that we are responsible for whatever results we are getting from our karmas and we have to be ready to bear the consequences if we keep on living in our imaginative world. He describes it as, “Life has no regard for your opinions or fancies. If you live in imagination; you will keep struggling and hitting against events, and you will stumble and fall many times in many places.”

 

Everything about the book will force you to rearrange your perceptions of the world, the people, and most importantly of yourself. The book is in Question & Answer format. Through the book, Acharya Prashant answers questions related to Maya and its forms in his trademark witty manner, which is enough to keep you hooked to the book. The more you read, the more you will crave the need to read it further.

 

 “Maya” is an excellent combination of modernism and spirituality. It would not be wrong to say that Acharya Prashant has been extremely successful in delivering his thoughts to the readers accurately and precisely. What is Maya? For you, it might be just a concept or an illusion per se, but according to the author, our whole existence is Maya. In his words, “You are living Maya, you are eating Maya, you are running Maya, you are breathing Maya. We are nothing but Maya personified”. The author gives us an understanding of what is Maya through various simple yet brilliant examples of the incidents we face in our day-to-day lives.

 

This book is enough to make you understand that Maya is not just a concept, Maya is a part of our existence that we cannot see, and if one wants to be free of her, setting her free is the only option.

Wall with names of the recognised employees with their achievement get flashed on the social recognition wall so that the whole organisation gets a view of people getting recognised and for what specific reason. Peers can like, comment, and even share these recognitions.

Celebration Page – Let’s create a celebration page to cherish special occasions and memories like Long Service Award, Birthdays, Anniversaries, work anniversaries, special event winners and more. More so relevant in this new era of digital

Q4. Loyalty & engagement programs have been around for a while, what has changed in the recent past and how has covid forced the brands to look at these strategic interventions differently?

Yes, a lot has changed. Covid-19 has certainly forced every brand to re-look and re- define their engagement, retention, performance, and growth strategies to keep their best customers, channel partners and talent (employees) engaged and inspired. A lot of changes came in – digital transition, great resignation, focus on wellbeing & compassion, value creation. remote working, virtual world for everything business forcing consumer and talent market to change their behaviour and accept the new order of the world. What did not change is how brands look at loyalty, retention, and
engagement to keep growing, and keep increasing the overall CLV from end users of
their products.

Brands had to give a hard look at their current loyalty and engagement programs and made them all digital or at least hybrid driven by digital interventions like virtual events, digital engagement platforms, online product launches, app/web-based customer query resolutions, value creation through online learning systems. Although sales numbers
were hit, brands which took care of their employees, customers and channel partners with compassion, wellbeing initiatives, safety guidelines and family benefits to deal with in difficult circumstances emerged as preferred brands to be associated with.

BI WORLDWIDE has everything ready to support their current clients and market to weather this storm by quickly moving them to best of digital infrastructure, virtual events platforms, app/web-based programs, online learning modules, virtual product launches, digital recognition, gamification contests to drive sales, and a comprehensive online
rewards marketplace to ensure they continue to drive engagement and measurable
results.

Q5. We hear that you use Behavioural Economics & design code to devise loyalty and engagement solutions. Can you give us a better understanding of this.

Behavioural Economics is at the core of everything we do at BI WORLDWIDE in India and globally. From program design including tier structuring, incentive design, contest frameworks, goal settings, to program delivery including communication, rewards, promotions, learning, to program optimization including data mining, cross-sell, up-sell,
gamification and more – everything is driven by behavioural economics principles and theories. The use of analytics, learning, goal setting, communications, awards and measurement help us to validate the positive impact that the proper application of Behavioural Economics can create. This really helps us to drive change in behaviour with our clients’ end users – employees, channel partners, and customers and help them with measurable results.

Design Code is BI WORLDWIDE’s proprietary human centric program design methodology, developed by infusing design thinking techniques and tools, into our domain expertise on employee rewards & recognition, engagement, behavioural economics, and EVP research. This methodology is based on 3 different stages driven by research, empathy, ideation, and finally the solution that stems from end-user insights and all the way co-created by the client and BI WORLDWIDE’s team. Some of the world’s fastest-growing companies across diverse industries such as IT, ITES,
Retail, Travel, Finance, Agriculture and more have leveraged the power of Design Code™ to create comprehensive solutions focusing on employee-empathy, leading to measurable results.

Q6. What are the emerging trends when it comes to rewarding people? Does cash score over non-cash rewards in driving engagement with program participants?

‘Experiential’ reward is the buzz word, specifically when the world is coming out from the grip of Covid-19. Customers, employees, and channel partners, like all of us, are finally ready to travel and experience various aspirational things that life has to offer. They want to indulge in luxury, travel and high-end experiences and events to live life to the fullest.

 

The range of experiential rewards starts from local experiences to events to travel, people are willing to go extra mile to experience one of these or even all of these. When it comes to travel experience, 93% of people are motivated by more choice in destinations, 88% of people are motivated by more choices in when they can travel and 85% of people are motivated by experiences led travel – e.g., music concerts, sports, food tours, outdoors. Brands should focus on introducing experiential rewards to their key stakeholders – employees, channel partners and customers to keep them inspired, engaged, and motivated and eventually turn them into brand advocates to gain more.

Cash rewards only take motivation to a certain extent, it is non-cash rewards and incentives that inspire and engage brand’s key stakeholders to the highest level of performance. Business leaders are dealing with changing consumer behaviour owing to external market environment and recent pandemic forcing them to rethink and realign their engagement strategies. BI WORLDWIDE globally work with eminent academicians from top global universities such as Dr. Ran Kivetz from Columbia University Business School, Dr, Brad Shuck from University of Louisville, Dr. Joe Gladstone, University College London and more to understand what really motivates people and bring that research into practice to drive change in human behaviour. This is where we bring in our research-based rewards efficacy framework to help brands structure their rewards mix for maximizing the impact of their engagement programs. Rewards Efficacy
framework states all reward type produce results, however non-cash rewards are more effective at producing desired results – incremental sales, engagement, and loyalty.

One of the factors of behavioural economics Sociability, that comes along with non-cash experiential rewards which drives a greater behavioural impact that gets extended to family members and how they also get involved with the overall rewards experience – short vacation, getting a new car, sponsoring a child education or even health care
rewards. Cash is purely transactional and limited to only an individual with no re- consumption and sociability factor.

Manik Anand is taking entertainment industry by storm

The India Saga Saga |

With power-packed performances in television shows, web series, films as well as theatre, actor Manik Anand aka Manik Singh Anand is winning hearts of the audiences. He has even performed at the prestigious Prithvi theatre in Mumbai and received a standing ovation. Starting his stage career with an impactful performance as lead in Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar at Prithvi theatre and ending on the same stage of Prithvi with Noor as a lead, Manik Anand has covered all the stages in Mumbai performing the same shows at multiple venues over the years.

 

As a romantic lead in Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar, Manik set the audience into tears and cuddles, bringing the fact to light that women have the right to remarry and fall in love again while opening the door to examine gender oppression and inequality making the audience remember the feeling of the performance for days. On the other hand, in Noor, he used his intense vulnerability as a Sufi and once again set the audience in trance with his magical yet painful voice which was greatly appreciated by the theatre veterans across the city of Mumbai. There were people who even requested for copies of the songs that were performed by him.

 

Manik Anand’s short film ‘The Second Home’ which won at the Jaipur international Film Festival and went viral on YouTube and Facebook with multi-million views, talks about the unequal treatment bestowed upon daughter-in-laws by mother-in-laws, in contrast to how they treat their own daughters. The film turned Manik Anand into the ideal husband who using the balance of calm and awareness established harmony by making his mother realize her behaviour. The film got thousands of comments that were all in praise of Manik’s performance and how there is need of more men like him in the society.

 

Manik Anand was recently seen in Amazon minTV web series titled ‘Udan Patolas’. The show is the winner of Best Web Series – Comedy Drama 2022. Manik is the beaming example of “there are no small characters, only small actors”. Manik’s character of Kaju in Udan Patolas which was limited yet crucial to the series, was turned into something larger than life with his farcical comedic skills making people go gaga over the character to the extent that people on the set actually started using his catchphrases and copying his delivery style in his absence turning him into a meme on social media and an unforgettable character.

Sona Healthcare, a Gujarat-based company is cherishing Ayurveda as healthy way of living

The India Saga Saga |

All the problems of the human body reside in nature. Ayurveda is a culture that has never become obsolete to any civilization. People all around the world have been amazed by the gasping effects of Ayurveda. Besides this, westerners have learned about its great influences on the human body and been inspired by its methods. With that in mind, more and more people are chasing the idea of the natural use of remedies and cures. Sona Healthcare, a Gujarat-based Healthcare company which has GMP certified manufacturing facilities with latest machineries and also having  ISO : 9001: 2015 certification, is one of the platforms that cherishes the abundance of nature and creates a big difference in today’s medical world. Where people are chasing the idea of western medicine, Sona Healthcare is looking in the direction of authentic and credible ways of living a healthy life.

 

Ayurvedic medicine is regarded as the primary treatment in India. There is zero probability that this oldest branch of science will cease to exist. Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are lifestyle illnesses that can only be managed symptomatically and not cured. Using the proper medications, foods, and lifestyle changes, Ayurveda can aid in treating many chronic conditions.
