Spintly: The Next Frontier in Building Access Control and Security

The India Saga Saga |

Spintly brings contactless and wireless access control systems to create an ideal working environment

The Covid-19 pandemic has become a constant factor to consider in today’s global economy.  Ever since its emergence, it has changed the way everyday life functions and has brought new-age requirements for contactless and automated security solutions that are both reliable and easy to use for residential and corporate use cases. There is an ever-increasing need for a physical security solution that is easy to install, manage and use. The adoption of access control as a service is still growing but it has already started making a long-term impact in the industry.

Spintly has been working on a technology that allows an access control system to function in a fully wireless manner and this has become very relevant in the current situation we are in amidst the pandemic. Spintly has introduced the concept of the contactless access control system and a time attendance solution to thousands of SMB and enterprise clients. Traditional access control systems involve a large amount of wiring from doors to the control room which incurs a huge amount of cost in terms of material and labour. Powered by a wireless BLE-mesh technology the Spintly access control solution can be deployed with almost no wiring and cabling, Spintly manufactures products that are easy to install and set up to help in fast, convenient and cost-effective door access.

The idea for Spintly was born in a building management room full of door controllers, fire alarm panels, lighting control panels and a lot of wires to connect all systems. The hardware was occupying an entire room in the building and cables were running all across the building floors. Rohin Parkar and Malcolm D’souza conceptualized a controller-less and fully wireless building automation platform that would allow all devices like access control readers, smoke detectors, lights, etc to communicate with each other over a mesh network allow these devices to make their own decisions. Thus Spintly was developed as a unified wireless platform for building automation. They decided to focus on the physical security aspect of the buildings to start with and built a complete end to end solution for access control.

Spintly makes hardware devices like wireless smart locks, readers and edge Gateways which communicate with the Spintly cloud platforms, bringing affordable access control to every door. Spintly also offers cloud-based software modules for Access control, Time and Attendance and contactless Visitor management.

Speaking about their vision, Co-Founder and CEO, Rohin Parkar says, “Wireless technology has become ubiquitous and we use it for talking to people, browsing the internet, attend meetings over Zoom etc. But surprisingly things within the building like access control readers, smoke detectors, lights, HVAC systems etc still communicate with each other over wired technologies which were developed almost half a century ago. We are at a brink of a wireless revolution in the building automation space and we at Spintly want to be the pioneer in bringing about this revolution”

Adding on to the same objective, Co-Founder and CTO, Malcolm D’souza shares, “We believe that there is immense potential within India to design, develop and produce cutting edge technology and products which can cater a global market need. It is a great time for India and Indian start-ups to take on global giants and show that India is the next frontier of technological innovation.”

The Spintly BLE mesh-enabled IoT platform allows doors to communicate with each other and send data across the doors to the cloud. Spintly enables access control solutions for various market segments, including corporate offices, co-working spaces, small businesses, manufacturing facilities, residential communities, and Hospitality. Other market segments like education, healthcare and logistics also have burning pain areas which Spintly can solve. Spintly has scaled its presence in India, the Middle East and Africa through a strong network of resellers and partners.

Spintly aims to become the global leader in wireless Access Control and building automation with its cloud-based platform. The company aims at scaling up its presence in international markets like Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. The company is also investing in new technology development which will help them grow into the building automation sector.

Abu Aimal: A Telangana Based Journalist With True Social Working Qualities

The India Saga Saga |

Advancing as a journalist for more than a decade, Abu Aimal is one of the most popular journalists in Telangana who has made his place by not just being talented but by committing to his work, and following the moral-ethical values of complete transparency in every step of his life. Although journalism is perceived to be extremely practical and application-based, what one does not grasp sooner in the career is that there is nothing, no story that sells as good as a true one. this is the reason why Abu Aimal has always focused on coming up with the idea of a report that the public not only understands but also relies on.

Besides being a journalist, Abu Aimal is also actively involved in contributing to social work. His aims are profound and his foundation, Azaad foundation, is his current project that has the main goal of spreading awareness and contributing to social causes. Unless and until his efforts proved to be fruitful by inspiring others, there is no going back.

Abu Aimal was a state-level boxing champion before completing his Intermediate in Commerce. Interestingly, journalism was not even close to the original dream of Aimal, he wanted to chase his dream of becoming a successful businessman. Like all business startups, he too needed some investments and did not give up even after his failed attempts to convince his family, Abu Aimal succeeded in becoming a successful dealer of Hero cycles in Hyderabad.

Some of the biggest stories and social experiments over the past years have been the work of Abu Aimal. His coverage on various Wakf irregularities that ran into crores of rupees and his work on exposing how WAKF properties were being illegally taken over by land grabbers etc. One such example of his journalism was on 15th Sep 2011 in Siasat Daily, when he started a 100-day column dedicated to 100 non-functional Masjids within Hyderabad. Abu Aimal says, “My eight years of investigative journalism allowed me to record 132 masjids around Hyderabad, which had no government records nor Wakf records.”  With the help of his work, he has been able to re-open 20 Masjids and currently, is working towards re-opening other Masjids. He also helped in the restoration of a Masjid in Agricultural University, Hyderabad that was closed for almost 30 years.

 Proving to be an inspiration for many and storing minds with his words as well as his works, Abu Aimal has worked for too long in the field. It is the combination of his experience, skill and compassion that has made him reach this place today. To know more, follow him on:

LA Actor Romeo Yanger: It all starts from developing a go-getter mindset

The India Saga Saga |

Actors put their heart and soul into the characters that they are playing. They can bring a character to life through their actions and speeches. This is what makes them unique – they create everything in front of the audience. Although it is called a play, it’s very serious business and we should learn from actors! I once met an actor in Los Angeles who was born and brought up in India but has been living there for several years now so he could study acting at one of the best schools in town!

Romeo Yanger is an actor well known for his very convincing portrayals of a wide range of characters in plays and commercials and has also been featured in short films. He likes to say that acting is like sitting on a roller coaster ride of emotions, and he tries to adjust the intensity of his performances accordingly, whether he’s playing someone who is very happy, such as in a comedy or jovial scene, or when he’s portraying more somber emotions. Romeo is particularly proud of his passionate performances that he is able to pull off in his plays and believes that it will look more realistic in cinemas.

Romeo makes an awesome point, “Even movies can make us forget about our everyday problems for a moment, and we can actually get lost in the world of the film or it can remind us of who we are and make us more conscientious.”

One is never too young to start learning and growing, especially when it comes down to dealing with those around you. At such an early age, Romeo has accumulated a lot of life experience from his odd jobs while still attending acting school. Romeo discovered that no matter who one interacts with, no matter where they come from, people behave differently in different situations. It’s no small wonder then how important these experiences were for the development of Romeo’s character both in his real life and the one that he chooses to play when he is acting.

“Being a fan of Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan, Romeo Yanger states that he likes the storylines of their films because they portray the subtleties of characters but also deliver the objective details vey specifically.”
Romeo Yanger is a big fan of Tom Cruise and Al Pacino. He sbelieves that if he works hard then, he’s going to become a great film star just like them! Romeo has also appeared in several plays and interested in Zoya Akhtar’s movies as he is a great fan of her work. It’s not just Bollywood that he’s interested in, though—Romeo is also trying his hand at Hollywood films. And if Romeo’s dream comes true, it would be pretty cool to see him star in movies with stars like Tom Cruise and Al Pacino. We would love to watch those movies!

Romeo Yanger says that his father is an inspiration to him. From what we have experienced, we’d like to think that in the future, we will likely see Romeo more often. Maybe he will be a part of Hollywood or Bollywood, but either way, we can assure you that he’ll continue entertaining us because of his dedication and enthusiasm for the craft of acting. He will make it big in the industry sooner rather than later at this rate. We wish him all the best for future projects; we’re delighted he’s involved!

The India Saga Saga |

The world we live in right now has been going through a lot. While most of us are busy blaming the pandemic and many other factors for the disruptions caused, it is time to introspect and realize that most of these disruptions are man-made due to unsustainable practices and the excessive use of plastic for years. The major cause of our deteriorating health today is because of the bad choices that we made and kept practicing in our lives. However, now is the time to stand up for what is right and make certain important choices to turn around our lives for the better, explains a young talented being, a man who has spellbound people with his works and his visions towards creating a sustainable life for others; he is Zeeshan Khan, popularly known as the ‘Eco Man of India’.

Who is Zeeshan Khan, you ask? Well, this youngster has been shining brighter each day for the kind of passion, zealousness and determination he has shown to make a difference to our planet and ultimately to the lives of others. That is how Zeeshan Khan has become an inspiration to the world, especially the youth as an environmentalist, a serial entrepreneur, an angel investor from India, but most importantly, a compassionate soul who crosses boundaries to protect our mother earth.

What has been garnering him more buzz and headlines is his recent campaign called #disposesafely campaign, apart from many other astounding works of his like introducing Plastic Donation Centres, Smart Restroom Monitoring System and Pickating. The #disposesafely campaign began on 22 April 2020 (Earth Day) to spread awareness about the safe disposal of Mask and Gloves to prevent the spread of Coronavirus infection. Environmentalists from over 12 countries supported the campaign by using the hashtag to raise awareness through Instagram and other platforms. Now we know why Zeeshan Khan is known as the ‘Eco Man of India’.

Zeeshan Khan highlights that recent studies estimate people use 129 billion face masks globally every month, which is three million a minute. Most of them are disposable face masks that are made from plastic micro-fibers, which is definitely a huge concern. Through his organization, Relive Eco Foundation, Zeeshan Khan, and his team have been working relentlessly to identify and promote activities that improve and protect the ecology of planet earth.

He hails from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, and serves as the CEO of Beyond Smart Group, which is a multi-venture organization aimed at sustainable development. Unlike others who desired to make it huge in their careers, walking their chosen paths, Zeeshan Khan chose the unusual path, and with the aim to do his bit for society, he even dropped out of his MBA course. From working at a call centre to becoming a millionaire today, he has definitely come a long way, thanks to the many bold choices and moves he made and thrived off of his revolutionary visions and mindset to work towards the environment.

So far, this ace environmentalist, serial entrepreneur and angel investor has been recognized with prestigious awards and honours like Madhya Pradesh Ratn in 2018, World Environment Day Hero in 2019, India Leadership Award in 2019, and Swachhata Brand Ambassador of Bhopal in 2020.

People like Zeeshan Khan stand as true examples to the world, who inspire people to do better for the planet and for each other every day. To know more, visit his website, https://zeeshankhan.in/ or follow him on Instagram @ecomanofindia.

Global Federation of Entrepreneurs is a Safe Zone for Indian Exporters who are badly facing Risk in Gulf Countries

The India Saga Saga |

Markets and consumers are demanding higher levels of quality in all domains, including transportation and merchandise. Transporting goods is a difficult task, especially when it comes to sensitive things like perishable goods. Catering to these needs of e-business Global Federation Entrepreneurs has set up Special Desk to facilitate Export for helping all the stakeholders deliver their products overseas.


Owing to environmental circumstances perishable goods like animal and meat by-products, fish and seafood, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, flowers, pharmaceutical items, and chemicals quality deteriorates with time.
These items have short life spans due to their chemical and/or physiological features; they are more prone to severe and irreversible damage during transportation, especially if the temperature is not maintained consistently. To protect and retain these products in excellent shape after they reach the final client, they must be handled with extreme caution and efficiency.


Keeping all the factors in mind GFE is the World’s Fastest Growing Export Training & Networking Organization and India’s Biggest Business Network that successfully and meticulously mandates import and export facilities across the globe.


Talking about his mission, Founder & COO of GFE groups, Honey Kumar Sharma said, “We aim at keep changing the lives of people across the globe and to take them to the final destination, which is success and satisfaction that will ultimately fulfill the dreams by doing Improvements in all areas of Life.”

Analyze freight and create a plan that includes the transit time, route, and modes of transportation that are most appropriate for your consignment. Also, decide on good packing for your product during transportation.


Next, look for transportation choices that are appropriate for your consignment, taking into mind the maximum volume allowed, cold-chain amenities, and route transit time. The term “cold chain” refers to temperature-controlled storage and transportation of commodities. It’s especially important for perishable goods. It’s easy to become perplexed when there are so many options on the market.


Not just do they suggest ways to Export and Import but also focuses on Procurement and Certifications as each country needs a specific set of documents that need to be reviewed before export. Similar to the import procedure, you must assess your transportation alternatives in order to choose the most appropriate model for your items. Remember that your items are perishable and make your selections appropriately. Determine the sort of packaging to use, taking into account the manner of transportation and other factors. To deliver the product, you must first obtain authorization from the carrier, airline, or shipping business.

The India Saga Saga |

Musical Artist Ajminur Oarish is changing the way artists view and interact with their fans. Ajminur made a reputation not just with his unusual sound, but also with his unique lyrics, via his music endeavours. Nevertheless, he has also established a community that inspires young people and creates a generation.


Ajminur has gained attention for his multi-genre sound and creatively constructed verses, but his primary focus has been on establishing an audience that can expand with his platform, and he has been working hard to do that.

Ajminur Oarish described his journey to us. He told us how he got his start in this industry. He used to compose small pieces of music and amuse people to keep himself motivated. Ajminur took everything seriously and worked tirelessly. Meanwhile, he thinks about how tough it is to get more followers and create a page without paying money.
Ajminur opposed the notion of promoting the page with paid advertising. He couldn’t afford paid marketing since he didn’t have enough money. He continued to publish for 4-5 months while creating music and never lost interest. He found that he appreciated his stuff for a lot of DM. It took him a year to consolidate his musical reach; in a short time, he touched many people, but he did well.


Ajminur stated that he is not in it for the money but rather for the name and glory. So that he may use his reputation and popularity to help those in need in slum regions.

He also told us that he’d work hard to complete all his achievements. We wish him to be successful in life and get the name he deserves.

The India Saga Saga |

Real stories behind the indirect route to Canada

The India Saga Saga |

We Indians choose Canada because of the country’s large Indian diaspora. Because the big Indian community settled in Canada, it allows us to obtain a taste of home in addition to a better level of living. Canada is a welfare state, with easy access to healthcare and education for permanent citizens.

As the world’s second-largest country, Canada has a lot to offer travelers, and no matter what they are looking for, they will most likely find it here. But, recent times have not been favorable to us as India is one of the worst-hit countries by the COVID-19 Virus.

Fear of the disastrous second Covid-19 outbreak raging in India, as well as transmission of the extremely contagious Delta variety, prompted Canada to ban direct flights. The prohibition on direct flights from India has now been extended till August 21. The restriction, which went into effect on April 22, was set to end on July 21 but Canada has now extended the prohibition for the fourth time.

Simran Bal is the daughter of an Indian grocer in Toronto’s Parkdale neighborhood. She has expressed concerns after her father was forced to travel to India due to an emergency.

“We’re now scared he’ll be stranded there… because he’s in a more distant place. There are already members of our family stranded there. They live in England and have already had all of their flights canceled” Bal said.

Even if you get to travel to Canada via indirect routes, the problem doesn’t end there as there are further rules and restrictions in your way as well. From August 9, fully vaccinated Americans and permanent residents will be allowed to enter Canada for non-essential travel if they finish their vaccines at least 14 days before visiting. 

Denying Indian flights has proved to be tremendously inconvenient for both Indians and Canadians. India is one of Canada’s most important friends and the country’s most significant supplier of new immigrants and international students. India accounts for 20% of Canada’s new permanent residents. Indians account for 30% of all new international students in Canada. Nearly 1.4 million Canadians classified themselves as being of Indian ancestry in the 2016 Census. 

As the government there has imposed restrictions on direct flights from India, we have to take indirect routes to reach Canada, and get checked for the Coronavirus in a “third country.” This is because the Covid-19 molecular test report from India is not accepted in Canada.

Those of you who tested positive for Covid-19 in the past and plan to fly from India to Canada must now produce documentation of a coronavirus positive test performed 14 to 90 days before departure. Travelers may also be required to seek entrance into a third nation and stay there for at least 14 days. In addition to putting Indian passengers in a 14-day quarantine, several countries may refuse to let them in if they have tested positive for Covid-19 in the past. There’s also the possibility that they’ll be sent back to where they started.

Rachna Shah is an Indian studying at a prestigious university in Canada. She visited India to meet her family members who live in India currently but for a few days, she got to know that Canada has banned direct flights from India. She had to go to Canada for some urgent work related to her University so she decided to travel to Canada via a third country route. She chose to go to Canada via the Maldives but that didn’t prove to be a good decision for her as she was asked to stay in quarantine for 14 days before allowing her to travel further to Canada.

“I was left with no other option and it was urgent so my family asked me to go via an indirect route but that backfired badly”, she said. “When I reached there, instead of going to Canada, I spent 14 days in quarantine and it was really annoying and depressing at the same time. My family was so worried about me but there was nothing we could do”

Additionally, not all major airlines in these ‘third countries’ offer Covid-19 testing, so travelers may need to go elsewhere once they arrive. The revised COVID-19 restrictions enforced by Canadian authorities have contributed to the already-existing difficulties faced by Indian passengers seeking to visit the nation for professional, educational, professional, or other purposes. Some nations may place you in quarantine for a minimum of 14 days following their arrival. This might even cause you to miss your deadlines and increase your costs.

Kishore Sharma works as a sales executive for a famed corporation. He visited India last year for the funeral of a relative. During his visit, he was affected by corona. He was bound to stay in India till he recovered. Even after his recovery, he was not allowed to return to Canada because the administration did not accept Kishore’s medical reports. Because of Covid and the new rules and regulations enacted by the government in response to the Covid crisis, Kishore was unable to return to Canada for urgent business-related work. He expressed his dilemma by saying: 

“I suffered a major loss. It was difficult to sit and watch your career suffocate”.

We have already been suffering a lot due to the spread of corona in our country, and now the new rules and restrictions have added to our burden and problems even more. Many of us who need to travel to Canada for some urgent reason have to wait for at least 15 days even after taking a third-country route to reach Canada. All in all, we can say that there are myriads of stories behind the people’s decision to travel to Canada via indirect routes, especially in recent times.

Smruti Sudarshan emphasizes importance of data to analyse learner behavior

The India Saga Saga |

Despite the potential evident in the application of data science in the realm of education, several researchers have pointed out that student behavioural data collected en masse do not overall capture student learning. As new EdTech platforms keep coming up, people have been  using computational analysis techniques from data science and AI. They have been researching learning and teaching, tracking student progress, analysing school or university data, designing assessments and using evidence to improve teaching and learning for a long time.

Acknowledging how this domain is maintaining its growth over the years with applications of technology popping in, Learning and Development Specialist Smruti Sudarshan illustrates the aspects wherein data has proved to be noteworthy in analyzing learner behaviour. Alongside, she is an eLearning Evangelist, who bears the torch of guiding individuals throughout their learning journeys and with her effective methodologies showcases how a teacher or facilitator may progress by adopting customised learning methods, by mining educational data and analysing learner behavior models to make learning as learner-centric as possible.   

Acing the field of L&D, Smruti Sudarshan states the importance of AI in developing effective learning measures that are accountable for the learners overall holistic growth. She says, “The best part of learning analytics as a growing field of research and application is that it leverages the increasing body of data about student behaviour and engagement. This resulting explosion of data has led to many possibilities such as better monitoring of student progress, identification of students “at risk”, new insights into students’ patterns of behaviour, and real-time intervention in digital environments. All of it has been able to be added into account only after AI-driven approaches have been adopted, setting a benchmark.”

Being a graduate from IIMB, Smruti has garnered in-depth understanding of HTML5, LMS, L&D, eLearning authoring tools (Storyline, Captivate, Lectora ), the Adobe Suite, front-end web development (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript), and xAPI. Entering the field of L&D was a choice of her destiny. With success in the field seeping up to her, she gained enough confidence to begin freelancing projects that allowed her to explore her preferred area while also allowing her to achieve financial independence. Smruti has a lot of professional experience before she graduated from the Global Academy of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.

Accrediting her expertise in the field, she is the recipient for The Brandon Hall Award for the best certification programme, Excellence in Digital Transformation, was bagged by the 26-year-old L&D Specialist by GTF India. She also made history by becoming the first Indian speaker at the eLearning Success Summit 2.0. She’ll also be one of the first Indians to speak at “The Learning Ideas Conference 2021,” as well as collaborate on numerous podcasts with various Learning Industry Experts.

When she first offered data-driven solutions, the L&D business was quite strict in terms of using data, therefore her success did not appear to be easy. The sector had inflexible procedures such as solely using video-based learning or having a five-day instructor-led course that did little to help people retain what they had learned. She emphasizes that through all these methods, collecting, integrating, and analysing data, learning analytics provides opportunities for further examination of how observations from the laboratory translate to the classroom.

Smruti assisted a Multinational Corporation in developing e-Learning modules for customer service representatives. Following that, she collaborated with US clients to develop a number of learning programmes based on novel learning methodologies. Her most cherished experience was developing courses for personality-disabled employees and workers with an Australian NGO.

Being a thought leader she implemented data-driven methods in notable companies and encourages everyone to be self-directed learners who take advantage of technology. She develops customised solutions so that corporate learners can design their own learning paths. “Continuous learning” was the influence it had on the organisation.

Sharing her insights on the matter, Smruti says, “Artificial Intelligence is redefining the way students learn. A variety of digital classroom tools are changing the teaching dynamics for teachers. In the data-driven classroom, collecting and analyzing a student’s work  are part of how schools report and track performance. Digital curriculums are changing the way teachers and the learning process work. Some digital courses use big data predictive analytics to determine what a student is mastering or not mastering which is actually a huge step in the right direction.”

AI should be used to conduct evaluations in the most accurate and efficient manner possible, as well as to evaluate the results. To begin, educational institutions should try to unlock the value hidden in massive amounts of data. Smruti realizes how drastically data is taking over the education system and fortunately, it is proving to be an effective aspect in determining learner’s behavior as well helping to fortify the process along the way.
