Sikh Aid : Lending a helping hand with oxygen cylinders

The India Saga Saga |

The NGO’s team of 150 volunteers has worked around the clock to procure and provide oxygen cylinders to covid -19 patient across the country.

During the first wave of covid 19 last year, Odisha based NGO Sikh Aid, along with distributing at least 360 tons of cooked meals among migrant workers and labourers, also arranged oxygen cylinders.

During the second wave too they procured oxygen cylinder for those in need. But the difference is last year they received only 100 calls a month for oxygen and during the second wave they received around 2000 calls a day from all over India, says Raunak singh, founder of Sikh Aid.

During the second wave singh and his team members had barely slept eight hours in all.

Initially, the organization insisted on test results of patients to provide the cylinders, but during second wave when cases were more they checked the patients oxygen level.
“Most cases were genuine, but we needed to be doubly sure that the cylinders is going to those actually in need, ” Says Singh.

To meet the rising demand, the NGO, which has so far run on donations and provided cylinders free of cost to anyone who wants them, also started a “drive through”scheme for patients to go to their office and inhale oxygen.
This alone saved 500 lives.

Singh, who is businessman and founder of the organization, says that despite having the resources, procurement was still a difficult task. “It’s taking a lot of time, and time is of the essence. It’s criminal to lose a single minute but we are trying our best to save every life,” he says. “I see three to five deaths daily, I’ve myself got Covid-19 twice, but I will continue to do this even if it means losing my life. It’s just one against lakhs.”

Patients who have lived because of him and his NGO want to thank him for the efforts to keep them alive–by helping keep others alive. “Everyone tells me, now I have antibodies so I want to volunteer too. That makes us happy but we’re keeping our team small for maximum efficiency,” Singh says.

The India Saga Saga |

Coal Town Boy, Dr, Abhinav Kumar Shrivastava is the “MasterKey” Developer for Cyber Security of India, and Selfless Protectionist of “Innocent and Womanhood”.

With the growing pace of cyber technology, Cyber Crime has also risen drastically. While we are going to welcome 5G, the unforeseen demon of cyber threat is ready to attack us all around. Dr. Abhinav Kumar Shrivastava has developed a “Master Key” to effectively handle and solve the majority of cybercrimes. Dr. Abhinav’s Research Article titled “Cyber Security in Modern Era” has been accepted at the “International Management Conference on Post Covid Management Strategies: Recovery, Resilience and Adaptation” held at IIM Gaya. The article was widely appreciated and has brought a revolutionary positive impact on Cyber Security in India.

Dr. Abhinav connected all the dots using the available legal resources and structured this comprehensive research article which is “Swift and User Friendly”. The article single-handedly hooked all forms of Cyberbullying, cyber blackmailing, digital currency fraud, and major forms of Cyber Crime in India.

Throwing lights on his research methodology, Dr. Shrivastava’s PRO replied “Our team strictly adheres to “oath of secrecy” subject to be verified by forensic and polygraph Test to maintain steel strong secrecy firewall referral to the ruling of Honorable Supreme Court of India in case the Selvi V/s State of Karnataka, Verdict instructed by Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, Justice K.J. BalaKrishnan dated 10-05-2010. These steps are taken to earn the confidence of the victim, so that she/he may not feel insecure.”

“Our Team is highly obliged to our Legal Advisor and Partner ‘G.GIRI & Company’ for assisting 24X7 to combat cybercrime, crime against women,” he further added.

Dr. Abhinav was born and brought up at the mining township of Jayant Colliery of Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. Earned his Master’s degree from highly prestigious IIT(ISM) Dhanbad securing All India Rank-1 in Entrance Examination cracking one of the world’s toughest Examination CAT. He completed his Ph.D. in just 2 years and one month with more than 15 Research Papers and two International Diplomatic Academic Assignments to his research credit. He is classified as one of the finest brains among the younger generation of Academicians. He holds 7 Copyright and has penned more than 21 Impact Factor Journal and three books to his credit. His near ones share that he is immense hardworking, sharp and too shy, and introverted in nature.

Renu, a 47-year old mother, shared how Dr. Shrivastava helped her daughter fighting cybercrime, “My daughter was in deep depression and attempted suicide also, as she has been long blackmailed and sexually assaulted by her ex-boyfriend by her personal videos. Somehow I came to know about Dr. Shrivastava. We approached him and got a response within 12 hours. And in the next 3 days, the culprit was behind the bars as well as all personal videos of my daughter were officially deleted from the culprit’s mobile as well as other cloud storage. My daughter is blossoming again now.”

Ajith Subramanyam, a medical professional from Cochin, shared “I got a video call from an unknown number and as I am a doctor so I picked the call. The other side was blurring and after 10-15 seconds a vulgar fabricated video came to me and demanded 50k in two hours or being viral of fabricated video. I am not that tech-savvy. I turned helpless and rang my friends. Someone shared Dr. Abhinav’s number. I contacted him. Dr. Shrivastava not only shared the legal process but saved me and my honor in just two hours!! And the culprit was caught by ‘Cyber Cell’ within two days.”

Another person named Joseph shared his views, he says, “Being an elderly person it becomes difficult for me to keep updated with the evolving technology. One day I received a call for a KYC update. I shared the card details and my life savings of 35 lakhs vanished in 10 seconds. For the period of 2 years, I had to rush daily in order to revive my life savings. Somehow, I got connected with Dr.Abhinav who guided me to approach the Ombudsman of the Reserve Bank of India which further eased my path by helping me in drafting an application. After a legal battle of four months, I got my money back and later culprits were also caught and jailed. Without Dr. Abhinav, it was an impossible task for me to get my money back and win the cyber battle”.

As a matter of fact, Dr. Shrivastava has got more than 4000 registrations for Women who are facing Cyber blackmailing. Till 30 September, Dr. Abhinav helped 187 women set free from Cybercrime and blackmailing following the official legal channels, maintaining a high code of secrecy of these women. (Any person who needs help can mail at info@shubhaaksharam.com )

Dr. Jaswant Sokhi, retired Professor of IGNOU, who has been also the Chairman for Apex Committee against sexual harassment for world’s largest University in terms of Student Enrollment shared her view, saying “The novel Paper drafted by Dr. Abhinav is one of the finest concepts in most simple language which is served to masses and victims of cyber-crime and blackmailing. It focuses especially on women as it helps them to come out of traps and mental trauma making them stress-free. Thus, I can say Dr. Abhinav is a pioneer for modern Cyber Security in India”.

The well-reasoned paper drafted by Dr. Abhinav is one of the finest compositions in the simplest language which will serve to masses and victims of cyber-crime and blackmailing, especially women will definitely get complete relief to come out of the trap and mental trauma. In today’s world, very few people have the courage to fight selflessly and fearlessly to combat deep-rooted social problems such as the Cyber Mafia. And Dr. Shrivastava is one of those genius minds for the protection of humanity. His innovations will definitely be a game-changer for 5G technology in India.

GI Outsourcing MD, Vikas Chadha decodes the winning formula of success

The India Saga Saga |

GI Outsourcing was started by a top UK account outsourcing firm in 1991 with an aim to effectively outsource their clients’ compliance work. Nearly two decades later, Vikas Chadha, Managing Director of GI Outsourcing shares their ambitions to become a top global account outsourcing company.

As the COVID-19 pandemic hit the globe last year, one area that has witnessed significant changes in finance and accounting outsourcing. Companies are now thriving for external help to overcome operational and financial challenges and outsourcing has proven to be a boon for a lot of companies during these tough times.

Vikas Chadha, MD, GI Outsourcing speaks to Daily Hunt on the challenges and recovery during times of post-Covid.

Question 1: Last year was a tough year? How has this year transformed the Finance & Account Outsourcing industry, especially talking about GI Accounting? How has the company been able to navigate through this crisis?

Truly speaking, last year has been a year full of challenges. However, everyone including the economy showed unprecedented resilience, which clearly indicates that when chips are down, we can collectively come together and do the right things. We soon understood that while the impact will be deep, the recovery from the pandemic has to be digital, hence we focussed on accelerating our organization’s digital capabilities in cloud and automation. This has also helped us redefine our operating model and get access to borderless talent and to innovate in real time with agility from anywhere.

Combining our digital prowess with GI’s unmatched holistic solutions, we could seamlessly partner and collaborate in a larger ecosystem to deliver exceptional value to our end customer.

Question 2: You took over the reins of the company when Covid hit the globe, how has your experience been so far?

I joined GI Outsourcing in August ,2020 in midst of covid uncertainty which had impacted the customer sentiment and believe me it has been a lifetime experience. Having been around for more than two decades and establishing our credibility, reputation, and goodwill, GI leveraged the extraordinary pace of growing business across several levels both organically and inorganically.

Having a customer-centric approach enabled us to foresee future requirements of our clients that help us innovate our offerings. Increasing the attractiveness of our offering and keeping our price fixed ensured excellent value to all our customers.

After briefly examining and understanding the customer’s unique needs, we ensured that our employees develop more agile and adaptive ways of working to meet the requirements. We created several pillars of growth including going deep in existing lines of business and leveraging our strengths on Quality and service with existing UK service business.  Concurrently, we added new lines of business including cloud accounting that proved to contribute significantly to GI’s global growth and revenue.  This unique approach has helped us immensely as 65% of our turnover is now based on referrals – a reflection of the high esteem within which we are held.

By strengthening our full portfolio of services and solutions to customers, we also increased our footprint and set up our delivery centers in leading talent hubs in India; New Delhi, the NCR region, and Ahmedabad.

While we were witnessing incremental growth, talent posed to be the elephant in the room.  We created a quality learning initiative ‘GI Academy’ which has tied up to get top-notch Chartered Accountants (CA) from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and ACCA’s from London.

Question 3: What are future company plans?

GI is looking at robust expansion plans and strengthening its footprint globally in various areas of finance and accounting. We are rapidly increasing our reach in India and aim to nurture and acquire the best accounting talent in the industry. In terms of market growth, I have been working on a strategy to take GI beyond the UK and Europe into other important markets of the USA, Canada, Australia, and Singapore. This will make GI a global player with the best accounting talent and training.

How Lawsikho course helped me learn new age legal skills ?

The India Saga Saga |

If a software engineer can work for clients in the United States of America, Canada, Europe, why can’t a lawyer provide his services to clients in these countries? If a fresh computer science graduate can freelance and earn in dollar and euro, why can’t a lawyer do the same? As someone who has completed B.E and L.L.B, I can say that law is a far difficult and complex subject to understand (at least for me).

One day, I, Pramil Kant, found an email from LawSikho informing me of some Bootcamp. Our country was facing a second wave of covid-19 pandemic and therefore, I needed something to distract me. Therefore, I decided to attend their Bootcamp. After attending the Bootcamp, I decided to enrol for the Diploma in Advanced Contract Drafting, Negotiation and Dispute Resolution at LawSikho.

These courses are completely different from what is being taught at law schools. These courses are aimed at teaching students the practical skills which are required in the field of law. I do not remember any of my law teachers explaining to me the meaning and significance of boilerplate courses, the importance of dispute resolution clauses etc. The best part of LawSikho assignments is that the questions are aimed at the problem-solving skills of the students. So, in assignments, we are asked to draft non-disclosure agreements for two pharmaceutical companies which are sharing their research to create a new drug. Such exercises push students to start thinking analytically and logically.

Another feature of LawSikho that I admired most is the support that we get from the placement team. The placement team guides students at each step; right from preparing cv, cover letters and reviewing them to preparing a profile on Fiverr and Upwork. There are special sessions that are conducted for online platforms like LinkedIn. I never knew that LinkedIn can be such a powerful platform for branding and getting freelance work. The placement teams regularly conduct online sessions for cold emailing to potential clients, the importance of regularly posting quality content on LinkedIn etc.

I joined LawSikho in June 2021 and by now, I have worked with several start-ups and businesses. I have drafted legal agreements and contracts, terms of use, GDPR/CalOPPA compliant privacy policy for them. Another important change that I have noticed in myself is that my outlook towards the legal profession has gone a 180-degree change. I believe that instead of relying solely on corporate jobs, we lawyers should also venture as freelancers and start-up founders. If engineers can create start-ups, so can lawyers!

Stories of fresh law graduate not getting decent jobs after their graduation or lower court lawyers facing problems in making their ends meet are very common. I believe that the solution to such problems lies in freelancing. But in freelancing, you need to have a proper skill set for getting work. And this is where LawSikho comes into the picture. I believe that LawSikho is indeed democratizing legal education in India.

An initiative by Sunil Agrawal & Associates (SAA) to help First Time Home Buyers

The India Saga Saga |

Sunil Agrawal & Associates (SAA), real estate experts in Indore, held a webinar on October 2, 2021, to guide and solve queries of all first-time home buyers. Vipul Agrawal, Managing Director at Sunil Agrawal & Associates (SAA), hosted the webinar and voiced questions on behalf of more than 100 attendees. Leading experts gave insights, information and answered first-time home buying queries. Experts who joined the webinar were Sandeep Shrivastav, Vice President, CREDAI MP and Secretary, CREDAI Indore. Mr. Shrivastav has been working for 32 years in the real estate market in Indore. The other expert was Mr. Sachin Pal, AGM and Marketing Business Head at HDFC Limited.

All the panellists talked about fundamental doubts that may arise in a first-time homebuyer’s mind. To educate, they touched upon subjects like location, budgeting, EMI, home loan, type of properties, legal formalities, repayment and a lot more. The webinar lasted for about 45 minutes, covering all aspects of home buying, the future of real estate in Indore- offering solutions.

The most important concern that came out for homebuyers is which location to choose. Mr. Shrivastav said that location is a personal choice based on convenience and requirement. It must suit the family and individual requirements. He added that all locations are being equally developed in Indore by the State Government. The construction of Bypass, Super Corridor, Rau, Khandwa Road and BRTS are notable accomplishments in Indore. Therefore, any location is a good location if it meets individual needs.

Touching on the legality of property, Shrivastav said to always check RERA registration of the project. On the other hand, where the RERA number is not applicable or not available, it is crucial to check the town planning permission and approved plan. He suggested hiring an advocate before finalizing. He added that buyers obsess with house-pricing, and awareness regarding title documents in real estate is lacking, causing unneeded hassle.

The second subject that worries a first-time homebuyer is budgeting, which was discussed at length during the webinar. Mr. Pal said that similar to location, budgeting is also personal. Nonetheless, the important factor is a monthly income for loan sanctioning. He advised all homebuyers not to think short term. Rather focus on the income they will have over the years and then plan the home budget since a home is a constant asset.

The panel progressed further, discussing the shifting property trends in homebuying. In the past 2-years, buyers have started preferring ready possession property over-under constructed ones. Mr. Shrivastav said this is because people want to ignore EMIs and recurring rent amounts during the construction of the house. Nonetheless, the advantage one gets while buying under-construction property is the autonomy to modify the plan. The only fear buyers have is the timeliness of property completion. That’s why choosing an upright and reputed builder is a must for such properties. Mr. Shrivastav added that under construction has better price benefits and flexibility. That’s why it is preferable, but the fear of being cheated dominates the buyers.

Talking about property appreciation concerns, Mr. Shrivastav said that the real estate market is not a share market. It is a long-term investment, and there will always be a short-term risk. Appreciation will definitely come on any property in Indore in three to five years. Convenience shall be kept over everything. Real estate will never be a losing game if there is foresightedness.

A first-time homebuyer is always concerned about the loan. Where to begin? And what to do? This agenda was also solved during the webinar where Mr. Pal said that nowadays, especially post-Covid, everything can be done online. There is a step-by-step process to get a home loan sanctioned, which is easy and short. 80% of the applications have shifted to the online platform. Mr. Pal assured that it is very simple, and the documents required are very basic that can be arranged within 30 minutes. A few documents can differ depending on if someone has a salaried account or is self-employed. And EMI can be calculated via online EMI calculators.

Pal said that the more time customers take to repay, the more beneficial it is for them since they enjoy income tax benefits. Nonetheless, if buyers want to repay the loan immediately, they can, and there is no pre-payment penalty. A point that buyers forget is plot loans. Banks can give loans on the plot too, that to up to 70% of plot’s market value. Therefore, they can choose to buy plots also.

Reflecting on the future of real estate in Indore, the panellists ended the discussion on a positive note. Appreciating the government Infrastructure support in Indore, and the clean city drive experts said that Indore would become the next Pune in 5 years. Vipul Agrawal further added that “even people living outside in metros have started investing in Indore, and there is a lot of potential here.” Talking about technicalities, he said that young homebuyers have a great risk-taking appetite that works in their favour. Also, the rate of interest is at the lowest. It is less likely that it will go lower than 6.70%. Even if it does, it won’t be significant. Mr. Vipul said that there is no point in waiting to take a decision – declaring it as the best time to buy property.

Sunil Agrawal & Associates (SAA) also held a webinar during the first lockdown, talking about Indore Real Estate Market post- Covid, and surely the trends are reflected in the market now. The real estate market has come a long way on the side of the homebuyer’s benefit. And will see a progression from here on. Webinars organized by Sunil Agrawal & Associates (SAA) are insightful for those who are interested in real estate.

Invasion of 200 chinese soldiers condemned at Himachal Pradesh border

The India Saga Saga |

A few Chinese troops were temporarily detained by Indian personnel in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, after approximately 200 of them crossed into Indian territory from Tibet and attempted to damage unoccupied bunkers. These bunkers are near the Line of Actual Control at the Bum La and Yangtse border passes. According to sources, the incident involving the Chinese attempting to damage a few unoccupied bunkers occurred last week.

“The India-China border has not been formally demarcated. Hence, there is a difference in perception of LAC between the countries. Peace and tranquillity in these areas of differing perceptions has been possible by adhering to existing agreements and protocols between the two countries,” the source said, adding, “Whenever patrols of both sides physically meet, the situation is managed according to established protocols and mechanisms agreed by both sides. Physical engagement can last for a few hours prior to disengaging as per mutual understanding,” A suggestion was made as a follow up that both sides safeguard up to their line of perception to avoid further disputes.

Meanwhile, in a press conference on Thursday, Arindam Bagchi, the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson, stated that China is expected to work on resolving the unresolved issue along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh as soon as possible.

“It is our expectation that China will work towards early resolution of the remaining issues along the line of actual control in eastern Ladakh while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols,” Bagchi had said at a media briefing.

This assertion made by China in the region is not unusual. More than 200 Chinese troops reportedly crossed into the Indian side of the LAC at Yangtse in 2016, but returned within a few hours.

In 2011, Chinese troops attempted and failed to scale a 250-metre-long wall on the Indian side of the LAC. This latest transgression, however, comes only a month after a similar intrusion in Uttarakhand’s Barahoti sector near the LAC, where Chinese troops were reportedly aggressively patrolling.

Music is a Rejuvenating Experience Rapper and Singer Guri Singh

The India Saga Saga |

Music has always been a medium to express the emotions that one finds difficult to express in words and that is the reason why music has been so popular. It is one of the oldest and greatest forms of art. We have read many great artists, minds and philosophers writing notes and essays about the importance of music in our life. Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” But music has a diverse range of genres. Every generation has its own favourite. Hip-Hop and Rap that started to become mainstream in 90s is still finding new ways and voices to be a hit among the youth. The musicians who are composing these songs know what youth wants to hear They and their songs have been becoming a source of inspiration for many.

Guri Singh is one such musician. Born and brought up in Mandigobind Garh Punjab, this 30 year old musician lives in Melbourne and has been passionately creating amazing songs and music. People in Punjab have been blessed with a deep voice and that is due to the influence of the folk music there which requires you to sing in higher notes. Guri Singh has been really very successful in carving his own niche and has been delivering constant hits so far. His music which is influenced by Punjabi music and Hip-hop is a rage among the youth.

For Guri, Music is something that fills his heart with ecstasy as he describes it as a rejuvenating experience. Guri Singh says that he finds his inspiration in great artists of Punjab such as Kuldip Manak, Gurdas Maan, Chamkila, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and many more. He says that these artists have really influenced his understanding of good music and compositions.

Always in a mode to create something great, Guri Singh has his own share of struggle but he says that if you are really passionate about something, all struggles are worth it because of the rewarding experience that you get out of it. He says that one should really work hard and keep pushing through as it makes the success inevitable. But one should also be aware of it that both success and failure are part of life.

“I would be lying if I say I don’t want success therefore it is important. But one should realize that it is part of your life not your life.” Said Guri Singh.

One of his many popular songs, “Garam Blood” has more than a million views and his songs have hundreds of thousand views. The best part about GUri Singh’s music is the editing in his music videos. We all understand that after the rise of video contents and platforms that promote videos, it is not enough to have great songs anymore. You will have to create engaging videos that people can connect with and his videos are one of the best ones that I have seen recently. You can check out his YouTube music video here https://youtu.be/4TnmaQkKt-w

Guri Singh told us that he is planning to launch his next song, “Siraa”  in October/November and hoping to launch his album or ep next year and preparing for it. He will keep dropping songs for which he is known for. We wish this amazing artist all the best and hoping to see his next song soon.
