According to news agency ANI, the mouthpiece for the Shiv Sena, Saamna said that the current crisis in the country caused by the spread of coronavirus disease could have been avoided if the Supreme Court had taken notice of political leaders’ public rallies and the Kumbh Mela in time.

It said, “The SC has now taken cognizance of the Covid situation in the country. If the court had taken into consideration the roadshows done by many political leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, and the Haridwar Kumbh Mela at the right time, such a situation would not have arisen.”

Several politicians have been chastised for organizing massive rallies in the run-up to the upcoming assembly elections. The Election Commission of India (ECI) barred roadshows and vehicle rallies for the remaining phases of the West Bengal elections on Thursday, after hundreds of people were seen flouting Covid-19 norms at such rallies. The polling body stated that no public meeting of more than 500 people would be permitted.

PM Modi, Amit Shah, and West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee were among the top leaders to cancel rallies in the state after the order was issued.

On April 18, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi halted all of his rallies in West Bengal and urged other leaders to do the same. For the same, he tweeted, “In view of the Covid situation, I am suspending all my public rallies in West Bengal. I would advise all political leaders to think deeply about the consequences of holding large public rallies under the current circumstances.”

Meanwhile, thousands of people gathered in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar for the Kumbh Mela to take a holy dip on the occasion of Shahi Snan. According to PTI, crowds in Haridwar thinned “drastically” after PM Modi appealed to Swami Avdheshanand Giri last week to transform the Kumbh Mela into a “symbolic” event in light of the rapidly spreading virus and main “akhadas” of seers began withdrawing from the Maha Kumbh.

On Friday, India reported 332,730 new cases of Covid-19. With this, the total number of infections has risen to 16,263,695. The death toll still stands at 186920, with 2263 new deaths.

Sahil, the founder of “Sahil Kothari Training & Consultancy”, a strong believer of the Law of Attraction, was determined that with keenness to do something, intention to derive full focus, and ignoring everything around him, the results of his efforts are bound to show up.

Hailing from Kolkata, West Bengal, Sahil completed his schooling at St Paul’s, Darjeeling, and B.Com. from Bhawanipur College, Kolkata. Though he opted for Chartered Accountancy, he later realized that it wasn’t his cup of tea—but it wouldn’t be easy to leave it as well, without being criticized for his decision. Amidst the humongous pressure of belonging to a middle-class family and the societal pressure of settling in life, he was determined to do something of his own. The perks of doing the typical 9–6 job didn’t quite fascinate him and he continued fostering thoughts of doing something of his own; a new idea was to be born soon.

During this time, he came across a book—Secret; the concept of Law of Attraction amazed him. This gave him the courage to leave his Dubai job and CA studies midway, in 2016. Although bombarded with heavy criticism, he exactly followed whatever was written in the book: “If you are keen to do something and can derive full focus, ignore everything around you and the results are bound to show up.” When he started getting small results, he began posting his Law of Attraction experiences and manifestations on various Facebook pages, blogs, and WhatsApp groups.

Soon, people, upon coming across this amazing content, started approaching him for one-on-one coaching—that’s when he realized the power of digitalization and online learning. Observing the growth and success of his idea, he gave birth to a new venture—Sahil Kothari Training & Consultancy—with the intention of providing high-quality training at the lowest possible cost. Promoting his courses, he managed to get only 10 students for the first workshop. Instead of being disheartened, he took it as a motivation and kept giving his best. Seeing his efforts and through word of mouth, more and more people started joining his workshops.

Today, training over thousands of students every month in subjects of psychology, mind power, health and wellness, and occult science, Sahil Kothari Training and Consultancy has catered to over 50,000 students across the globe since 2018. When asked about what message he would like to give the young start-ups through his journey, he confidently replied, “Well, with cut-throat competitions come numerous challenges. The key thing is your intent. Set your intentions of what you want to achieve and in what duration. Never doubt your intention; just focus on the solution—not the problem. Practicing this will give you tremendous results and you miraculously will find your path.”

Pulkit Vij India’s youngest builder is utilizing all of his social media platforms to enhance and grow his business, well he is using it in such a way that his company Kamal Associates has now become one of the best companies in real estate industry. A graduate from Delhi University took his father’s business to new heights and has become a youth icon. He introduces many new schemes and benefits for his clients using his innovative ideas.

Pulkit Vij through his YouTube channel, interact with his clients and also spread knowledge which is a mandate in today’s time for those who want to invest in the real estate industry or need to buy a home. With the motto of “Apna Ghar Sabka Ghar” Pulkit’s father founded Kamal Associates. Instead of spending years in vain, he geared up for his father’s business to become a name everyone would know. After years of struggle, he is at a point where he is creating a buzz in the media because of his innovative ideas and hard work. In the initial days, he was very nervous while interacting with masses and even during facing the camera. He practiced day and night to prepare himself and speak up in front of the camera. He then started making videos and coming live to interact with his clients and also with the people who are interested to buy their homes or offices but do not know how to do it. Because of this initiative, Pulkit’s office gets flooded with buyers and hence it was challenging to face so many people all of a sudden, but Pulkit did meditation and now he is dealing with many people with full confidence.

Kamal Associates fulfills the dreams of having your own house and workplace as well. They are having a management team of 200-250 members which majorly includes indirect associates, like vendors, marketers, etc. It is a firm with 20-years of experience in the real estate industry and has come up with a unique cash-back scheme for the buyers of affordable housing in Delhi.

This scheme is one of the best schemes that is offered by the big and renowned companies only. As per this scheme, if the buyer will pay Rs 5 lakh down payment, then the company will give them rent receipts worth Rs 5,000 each for the next 12 payments. That means the buyer is only paying Rs. 4,40,000 to the company. This scheme by Kamal Associates will help the small-scale buyers, who want to buy a home for themselves. Due to Pulkit,s extraordinary presence on Facebook and Instagram, the clients of Kamal Associates are increasing day by day.

Chandigarh, April 22, 2021: “Unhealthy lifestyle is leading to more younger people, mainly in the age 30-40 years getting infected by the new strain of the Novel Coronavirus. Younger Indians follow an erratic routine which affects their diet too. Eating junk, spending unending hours on the smartphone and in front of the computer screen is impacting the immunity of this age group of people thus exposing them to COVID”, said Guru Manish Ji.  Guru Manish Ji, founder of Shuddhi Ayurveda which has its corporate headquarter near Chandigarh and runs under its banner 160 + clinics all over India.

Guru Manish Ji, who has established himself as one of India’s most influential Ayurveda and traditional Indian healing methods experts, was interacting with the media here. 

Guru Manish Ji added, “The number of COVID cases is going up exponentially also as the new virus is more virulent and is mutating in a way which helps it infect host human bodies on a larger scale. However fellow Indians on the other hand are not changing their strategy to ward off the COVID threat. Indians are not following time-tested natural immunity  boosting measures suggested by Ayurveda and so the virus is engulfing lakhs of Indians on a daily basis.”

Guru Manish Ji also announced ‘pH-balanced diet’ plans for those displaying COVID-like symptoms or even for those who are COVID positive.

Guru Manish Ji opined, “We can improve our body’s resistance power & immunity naturally by having a pH balanced diet which generally includes consumption of coconut water, fresh citrus fruit juices, vegetable juices, seasonal salads, cucumber, vegetable soups, etc. I also advise doing fasting for 1-2 days, which will help the body rejuvenate, increase its immunity & also detoxify it. ‘Langhan param aushadham’ which means ‘fasting is the best medicine’ & ‘shuddhi param aushadhi’ or ‘body detoxification is the best medicine’  are categorically mentioned in our ancient texts, as supreme natural medicines which prevent as well as cure diseases.”

Guru Manish Ji explained that Indians need to strengthen their soldier cells or T Lymphocytes through natural methods, this can be done through right food intake, fasting from time to time, avoiding certain foods & drinks, having plenty of fluids, and practicing yoga  – mainly breathing techniques like pranayam, anulom vilom, kapal bhati etc.

Shedding light on the vaccination drive, Guru Manish Ji said that vaccination provides protection but there are side effects and in some cases serious ones. He added that one should focus on using traditional Indian systems like Ayurveda to boost immunity strength without any side effects.

Speaking on the option of lockdown Guru Manish Ji said that, “lockdown should be the last resort as it had many negative impacts like economic hardships for the country”. “He said that it was better to work on improving the immunity of all Indians so that the virus’s infection creating propensity is reduced”. 

Meanwhile, Shuddhi Ayurveda has unveiled Vish Har Ras, thirty-two (32) herbal tea, and Ayush Kwath to help fight COVID. Vish Har Ras has major ingredients like Neem & Giloy, which have high antiviral properties. The tea contains 32 medicinal herbs like elaichi, dalchini which have antioxidant properties and Ayush Kwath contains tulsi, pepper and shunthi which help in increasing immunity.

Going digital is the theme of this decade, if a business does not adapt to the changing ecosystem of tech advancements, then it will certainly perish. Owing to the worldwide changes in the way individuals perform their day-to-day activities, each firm has to adopt a tech driven mechanism which eases out the pressure on the manpower and facilitates a minimal contact system.

Savin Communication is one of those leading companies who have leveraged this phase to register a skyrocketing growth with their tech driven end to end PR abilities. Incepted in the year 2017 by Saurav Chaudhary, a Journalism graduate who has a profound PR experience, it is today one of the fastest growing Digital PR Agency committed to the changing needs of the industry.

Catering to the necessity

Having skilfully capped the necessity of several businesses in promoting their products/services with robust PR, Savin Communication has seen a whopping three times growth in their revenues during the phase of the lethal Covid-19 pandemic.

A bootstrapped firm is today generating huge revenue owing to their foresightedness when the world was gripping from the effects of Covid-19. It was the vision of Saurav Chaudhary which emulsified in making Savin a top performing PR agency that has its collaborations with over 100 media publications and associates.

The Rise of a phoenix

The year 2020 which happened to be the year of widespread chaos and shut-downs gave rise to the phoenix that Savin Communication has become today. In 2020-21, Savin Communication launched some rising verticals The PR tree  and WeTheInfluencer which received accolades from various stakeholders for their innovativeness and automations.

The PR tree is their flagship launch that broadens the horizons of a digital breakthrough. Aimed at incentivising businesses to get their stories of triumph published in some of the most renowned platforms across the globe digitally and without any human contact or hassle, the entire process from the client submitting the brief on the website to the final delivery of the links of the various deliverables was seamlessly curated digitally, promoting negligible physical contact and maximum convenience to clients.

Talking about making such disruptions in the PR market, Saurav Chaudhary says,”Since print publications were shut, we saw a huge increase in online publications which is our core service. During the lockdown, we were able to scale our business to a staggering 300 percent growth, our prime focus was on building credibility and catering to the needs of the seemingly isolated, medium and small companies because of which, we were able to disseminate more than 10,000 articles for over 3,000 clients from India and across the globe”.

Creating disruptive tendencies

At times when firms across the globe were drowning with manpower layoffs and massive salary cuts, Savin Communication undertook more hiring’s and saw a burgeoning rise of PR campaign requests on their automated platforms.

Not only this, one aspect which has taken us by surprise was the regular functioning of their offices throughout the pandemic. The committed team at Savin has been working from their headquarters in Noida when most firms shifted to the WFH model and registered their record breaking revenue with no medical casualties only because of their disciplined approach to meeting the needs of the overarching PR requests.

“We followed all the safety precautions inside the company and our manpower worked each day without any medical issues. This calculated decision brought a ball game change into steering more than 3 times growth in our general revenue which was different than many organisations that were facing manpower cuts and sudden decline in their revenues. We knew this was the golden period to leverage our brand to the top and we actually expanded our team with more hirings”, adds Saurav Chaudhary on their revolutionary approach in the midst of the pandemic.

In a nutshell, with their various innovations and  tech driven platforms that have made way for their manpower to only spend their energies on the most pressing tasks, Savin Communication has become an exemplary business model for the industry to adhere and swear by.
