• You have been working in senior leadership roles for over a decade now, what are some of the most pressing challenges you believe professionals are struggling to overcome today and in the future.

Before answering this question it’s important to understand the current landscape we all are in. This pandemic has completely changed the way we think, work, travel and in fact entire business model for many companies. What worked yesterday is not working today and will change in future. It is the pace at which things are changing at workplace that professionals are struggling to overcome today. Every company/employer is looking at cutting costs and the majority of the cost is staff/salary cost. This is the reason why inspite of loyalty for an innumerable number of years, the axe is falling on people irrespective. The ones surviving are the ones who has adapted and upskilled themselves for any new type of work or situation.

Today more companies are recognizing the importance of Business Transformation/ Program management / PMO professionals and their contribution in minimizing cost, handling projects well within their timeframe and avoiding wastage of products and resources. Majority of these professionals are abreast with the latest trends and helps a company stay afloat in crises. You got to be a new version of yourself “fast” and be equipped with tools and knowledge to overcome these challenges. As per words of Jack Welch, “Change before you need to change”!

• What is the best and the worst part of being a Business Transformation Leader?

The best part which I love about being a Transformation leader is the intense discussions with the senior leadership of the organization and aligning with the vision of the organization, to study, understand and get an insight of the businesses that we might be looking to transform. Since managing projects is an integral part of the role and no two projects are same, I enjoy the diversity that each project brings on the table. Every day is a new day filled with new challenges and finding creative ways to resolve issues.

The worst part is the reluctance of people to accept change. Since change management is also a vital part of any transformation, and it mostly requires acceptance from various staffs in any organization, it is a big challenge. By nature, people are reluctant to change and unless they are aligned to the vision they will stay in a negative mode and will not cooperate, no matter how much you or your team tries. Most of the times acknowledging the fact that certain things can be done in a more efficient and time saving way is a problem in itself. This is due to the fact that the particular task has been done the same way for years and they believe that is the only & best way to do it. These things need more nurturing and making people understand the perspective and rational. After all, the worse things you handle, the better you become at your job.

• Tell us something about your early days.

I was born and bred in Kolkata until I graduated. I have always been an average student but good in sports and other curricular activities in which I had won innumerable awards in school & college. Right after college I took time and went for a solo trip exploring the country. I extensively travelled for 4 months and saw most parts of this incredible country. Coming from a police family, my father wanted me to try for the civil services. Did I want to do it? I didn’t! This was because I wanted to do MBA just like others did from my college batch. This changed completely when I reached Delhi to start my preparations. Those 2 years of preparation changed my life and shaped me for what I am today. Now here comes the story of my failures. No, I didn’t get through the services but my exposure to the struggle and the immense amount of studies that an aspirant was expected to do was just mind-blowing. One truly makes some great friends and memories. During my preparation days, my father was diagnosed with cancer and I decided to take up a job to support myself and family. Sometimes you just need to decide and believe that it is the right one to take and stick to it. Now comes the interesting part, ITES was still at its nascent stage and I got interviewed in one of the largest companiesand got through completely unexpected. One thing led to the other and its almost been 21+ years that I have moved around various sectors across the globe transforming businesses. I truly believe in Steve Jobs words of wisdom, “you can only connect the dots looking backward in your life.”.

• In one of your interviews, you emphasized the importance of sports in one’s life and how it can transform the way we look at life. How important is Success or Failure to you?

Sports teaches you everything. It teaches Persistence, Commitment, Decision making skills, Integrity, Attitude, Teamwork, Trust, Accountability, Patience, Passion and Fun. Aren’t these attributes what life is all about? It teaches you that if you win, you will need to work hard to stay on the top and if you lose, you get up and work doubly hard, rework on your strategies and surge ahead to win. Winning or losing is a part of life and the magic happens when you do not give importance to either. Happiness is a relative term which arises from fulfilment of expectations. I follow a simple logic of not giving any importance to either success or failure. This helps me feel happy with the process rather than the result without any feeling of performance anxiety. This also helps me deliver better results.

• 43 International Film Festival Official Selections and winning 9 awards is a recordachievement, and that’s just for 2 films! Why are you not pursuing full time filmmaking?

Well, I didn’t expect the immense love for the films “The Rise & Bruno” that we made. Both the films had a dog as the lead and working with an animal in your debut film is definitely a task. I must admit that the response has been phenomenal with positive response from Florence Film Awards, Marina Del Rey, Nadym International (Russia), Kino London, Anaheim, LA Shorts, Athens Marathon, Votkinsk International, Mindfield International (LA), Golden Statuette (CA), Oniros (Italy) etc. It has opened many doors and helped me connect with some good people from the creative industry.However, I don’t think I would want to pursue this as a fulltime profession as I really enjoy my corporate career and the brilliant left-brained people that I learn so much from.

• Most of your projects are very international in look and feel. You also have worked with international talents. How has been your experience.

That’s a compliment. Thank you. Well, I think its more about the narrative and how we are visualizing it. I have directed shorts and music videos which has an extremely Indian look & feel as well. I have worked with International talents like Margo Shenka (Actress, Siberia), Syam Rose (Singer, France) and Robin Humbert (ProducerUSA) as well as Indian talents like Rajeev Pillai, Alok Masih, Parismita, Sukanya, Asokan PK (Producer) etc. and trust me they are all amazing. International talents are very easy to work with and wastes no time in vanity or getting ready for shots etc. however are very time conscious whereas our Indian talents are immensely hard working, asks a lot of questions and never looks at the watch. They however take too much time to reach the sets. (smiles)

• We heard you are working on a couple of international projects. Tell us more.

Yes, we just completed shoot in Barquisimeto a city in Venezuela for a Spanish film “Gvantsa La Pelicula” directed by the talented Director, Edsel Sierraltaand stars Laura Contreras and Carlos Madera in the lead. This is the first-ever Indo-Venezuelan venture that I am proud to be associated with as a Co-Producer. We are also working on an English-Spanish script based on women’s football with the backdrop of economic & civil unrest in an oil-rich country, which I intend to direct. I am also keen on doing a Bengali film based on a novel by Sayak Aman, the rights of which I have already acquired.

• Challenging corporate life, Filmmaking, Photography, MentoringStartups, Trekking &World Explorer! How do you do all this?

Yes, things do get challenging, but isn’t that the beauty of doing what you love to do? I love doing all of them and that’s why I never feel that I am hard pressed for time. I do not make “to do” lists anymore, that’s wasting time. Instead, I calendarize whatever I need to do and simply follow it. Honestly, workdays are only for work, exercise and sports majorly. Rest of the things can easily be followed as a passion during your week offs or annual leaves, that’s what I do! Just give 100% to what you are doing at any given point in time. Also, I must say, my colleagues and bosses are very encouraging and supportive of my creative efforts.

• On a separate note, with the advent of the current wave of COVID-19 and the numbers spiking up in, this pandemic has exposed many loopholes & inadequacies in our Indian political and healthcare system, what are your views on this?

The past 2 years have been extremely challenging with the COVID-19 outbreak almost paralyzing the entire world. Millions have lost their lives, jobs and/or their near or dear ones. Lets be mindful this is a pandemic and no country in the history of mankind has ever been prepared enough to handle these trying times. Forget India, Healthcare system has failed in almost all countries and it is humanly not possible to cater to so many people during a pandemic. We also need to be cognizant of the fact that the healthcare workers are also humans who are also trying to give their best and in turn getting affected themselves. Now coming to the political loopholes in India, again we need to be mindful that the sheer population of India is not easy to manage. Many countries have learnt quickly from last year that unless you take care of yourself, use masks and maintain social distancing you are susceptible to get affected. The government in these countries have taken the right measure and people have followed it diligently, thereby helping the numbers reduce drastically.

Now the question is, has this happened in India? We all know the answer, hence finding loopholes in any government machinery be it central or regional will never ever solve these issues. I will not go into the topic of election campaigns or Kumbh Mela etc. as we all understand that’s a blunder. However, if we just do a small analysis, we will understand that if we, the people did not participate in the campaigns, who would the political party leaders address to? If we, the people did not go for Kumbh Mela to take a holy dip, would Kumbh be there? Knowing very well that there will be serious consequences, we played with fire and the moment we get burnt we rush to the hospitals and say we are not provided adequate care! This is complete insanity, and I feel we, the people should be more responsible and careful instead of pointing fingers at anyone. Whether the government (irrespective of Central or State) has done right or wrong is for people to decide and elect them in the future.

The journey from 0 to 100 isn’t easy, it takes tolls of hardwork, dedication, determination and most importantly creativity and patience. Even after reaching 100, the journey isn’t over. A lot more has to be achieved, a lot more has to be changed and a lot more respect has to be gained. SonaMistry’s ancestral origin belongs to Rajasthan- a city of culture, tradition and art. And this inclined her towards the art. Being from the Marwadi family, she always saw how every lady of the house got excited for Mehandi before every function and that persuaded her to try out some designs in grade 10th. Later, she continued her studies and started her graduation in software engineering but she never gave up on creating designs. In this process, she realised how fun it was to create new designs every day and to wait for the stain to get mature. She started putting Mehandi to her immediate family members and known ones. She got a lot of appreciation for her work and intricate details in the design which pushed her to leave software engineering and take up Mehandi as a profession.

In the initial days, she had to face a lot of criticism. A lot of people mocked her for not continuing with her studies but her family backed her and supported her. A lot of people didn’t look upto Mehandi artists as they look upto any other stakeholder from the wedding industry. However, she was very stubborn about how she wanted to change the mindset of people and make this a better place for all other upcoming artists. She continued working hard and creating new designs every day.

She started innovating new western figures and western designs, in order to let people know that a traditional Mehandi can also get a western and contemporary touch. In the year 2019 when she completed 5 years as Professional Mehandi Artist, she was awarded with Best Creative Bridal Mehandi Artist Award and this was the time when 50% people’s mouth was shut and their perception about Mehandi artist changed. However, still a lot of people don’t respect the Mehandi artist as they should respect. The stakeholders from the wedding industry itself, do not credit the Mehandi Artist while posting the picture of the bride on various social media platforms even after knowing how important is Mehandi for the wedding. So my fight is still not over, a lot more journey has to be lived.

“ In my career of 7 years, hundreds of time I have been questioned of how do you create such creative designs. The process is quite simple- I understand my client’s needs and what exactly they are looking for in the design. Accordingly, I create the design or the figure which expresses their story or emotions perfectly. Sometimes, the final outcome is not like what we had actually imagined at the start. In this case, I try to create it again with some variations or mostly improve it by adding some elements.” says the celebrity Mehandi artist, SonaMistry.

She wishes to wake up every day and create different, unique and creative designs every day and night. For her this is just the trailer, the entire film is left to be released yet.

Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) occur when a group of vessels in the body form incorrectly, generating an abnormal connection between arteries and veins. These vessels tangle unusually and form direct connections, bypassing normal tissues. Mostly, AVM is a congenital malformation, but it can be detected in adults too.

Initially, symptoms associated with AVM are hard to diagnose; it may cause headaches or seizures in some people. An AVM that has not burst does not possess early signs but can be discovered in other medical examinations conducted during unrelated health issues. However, a ruptured AVM can cause leakage in blood vessels leading to stroke, swelling in the brain, or cardiac arrest. In such conditions, a person needs immediate medical attention.

Symptoms of AVM

Usually, symptoms of AVM are detected based on the precise location of the malformation. According to doctors, AVM carries a higher risk of bleeding, causing severe damage to the organs. As a person grows older, mostly during puberty or pregnancy, and if anybody had a severe injury,AVM can get bigger. The patient’s life is at risk with other health concerns, including pain, ulcers, haemorrhage or even stroke or heart attack.

Some physical symptoms associated with AVM are:

•           Headache

•           Back pain

•           Seizures

•           Loss of sensation in some parts of the body

•           Buzzing sound in the ears

•           Dizziness

•           Muscle Weakness

•           Facial Paralysis

•           Trouble in speaking, understanding and vision 

Treatment

Treatment for AVMis determined based on the abnormality, signs, symptoms, discomfort, the patient’s overall health, and the risks associated. Firstly, AVM is monitored using imaging tests such as MRI, MRA, CT Scan or Cerebral Angiography to determine the severity of the condition and re-occurring changes. A specialist will decide the best possible treatment after performing a critical examination and determining factors if AVM has already bled or the part of the brain, which can be treated without the risk of damage.

Medication

Medicines will help in controlling the primary symptoms, including headaches, back pain and seizures.

Surgery

AVM is treated depending on its location, size, and how it affects the patient. Mainly surgery is considered the most appropriate approach for treating patients with AVM, especially if there is a high risk of bleeding. In some cases, surgery may help eradicate AVM completely. Embolization and sclerotherapy are the two most common treatments for AVM.

•           Embolization- In this procedure, a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel to permanently block the blood flow (arteries), feeding the AVM with synthetic materials such as metal coils, medical glue or plugs. An AVM starts to shrink in size when the blood flow stops passing through it.

•           Sclerotherapy- In this procedure, a patient is injected with liquid medicine (sclerosant), destroying the vessels leading to less or no blood flow, passing through the AVM. The surgeon will use X-ray imaging or ultrasound scan to pinpoint the exact location of AVM. Sclerotherapy is applied to treat other vascular malformations, including lymphatic malformation or venous malformation.

In AVM management, embolization and sclerotherapy often reduce the symptoms and ease the condition. However, these methods don’t fully cure AVM but limit its growth. Many patients undergo these treatments several times throughout their lifetime. 

Follow-Up

Regular follow-ups with the doctor are an important part of the treatment of AVM. Your doctor will continue to take imaging tests to ensure the condition is resolved and the risk of relapse is not likely to occur.

The US, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia close allies of India, have pledged their support for India’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, with Washington requesting that oxygen generators, concentrators, Remdesivir antiviral medication, and vaccine raw materials be airlifted in the next 48 hours. The United Arab Emirates is sending a large shipment of oxygen concentrators to India, while Saudi Arabia is sending a large shipment of oxygen generators.

While both Indian and US interlocutors criticised the US spokesperson’s earlier remarks on raw material supply as insensitive, Washington’s decision to help India’s battle against the raging pandemic came after a thorough conversation between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his US counterpart Jake Sullivan on Sunday night.

On Sullivan’s conversation with Doval, NSC spokesperson Emily Horne released a statement that “The United States has identified sources of specific raw material urgently required for Indian manufacture of the Covishield vaccine that will immediately be made available for India.” 

The US is also working around the clock to deploy available resources and equipment, according to the release.

Both Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar have been talking to the US and other Indian allies including the UAE and Saudi Arabia on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s orders. Though Doval was in contact with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Jaishankar was in contact with the European Union, specifically France, for assistance with oxygen concentrators, Remdesivir, and raw materials for producing vape juice.

Official sources said that the UAE is sending a large shipment of oxygen concentrators to India, while Saudi Arabia is sending oxygen generators with the hope of more aid. The US, on the other hand, has provided full support and will be sending shipments from its bases in the Indo-Pacific. “The India-US ties remain as close as ever,” a senior official said.

The White House went on to say in a statement about Doval and Sullivan’s talk, which further read, “To help treat Covid-19 patients and protect front-line health workers in India, the United States has identified supplies of therapeutics, rapid diagnostic test kits, ventilators, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that will immediately be made available for India. The United States also is pursuing options to provide oxygen generation and related supplies on an urgent basis.”

The US Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is also financing a significant expansion of manufacturing capacity for BioE, an Indian vaccine manufacturer, allowing BioE to ramp up to produce at least 1 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of 2022.

They further said, “Additionally, the United States is deploying an expert team of public health advisors from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and USAID to work in close collaboration with the US Embassy, India’s health ministries, and India’s Epidemic Intelligence Service staff.”

“Fast-track the mobilization of emergency services available to India through the Global Fund,” according to USAID and the CDC. On Twitter, the US Vice-President reaffirmed her country’s support for India in the fight against the pandemic.

On Sunday, India announced 349,691 new cases of the disease, setting a new world record for the largest single-day increase in cases, bringing the total number of active cases to 16,960,162. India reported more than 300,000 cases in 24 hours for the fourth day in a row. On the same day, 2,767 people died from infection-related diseases, bringing the total death toll to 192,311.

“Water is the only drink for a wise man.” – Henry David Thoreau, American Naturalist

As you all know, our body is maintained in a constant range of temperature. In the summer especially when you are outdoors, body faces an extra heat load. Initially the body tries to dissipate the heat by various mechanisms. Sweating occurs and when it evaporates, it cools the body. Excess heat is also thrown out through exhaled breath, urine and faeces. But with continuous heat load, this body defences can weaken and even fail.

Dr. Santosh Datar from Ziqitza Healthcare Limited (ZHL) remarked,“the combination of excessive heat load, less water intake and excessive sweating can lead to dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Rigorous exercise or any illness such as fever, loose motions or vomiting can aggravate dehydration. Dehydration can occur in people of all ages, but young children, babies and older adults are more prone to it.

Experts at Ziqitza identifies various heat related illnesses and their symptoms as tabulated below.

Dr. Santosh Datar from Ziqitza Limited highlights few Preventive Measures for Heat Related Illnesses

1) Drink plenty of water and fluids

The best way to avoid dehydration is to drink plenty of water throughout the day, but this can also be supplemented with coconut water, lemon water, fresh buttermilk, clear soup or fruit juices (without sugar) once in a while to keep up your electrolyte levels. Sweetened fruit juices, cold drinks and alcohol should be avoided. When you pass urine, look at the colour. If it is dark coloured, you water intake is not sufficient. You may look at the urine colour chart available on the internet. Some medicines can also change the colour of urine. Similar observations were made by experts at ZHL Rajasthan.

2) Wear appropriate clothing

Loose-fitting, lightweight, light-coloured cotton clothes are ideal to be worn during this season. Dark colours absorb more heat, which in turn, will increase your body temperature, while tight clothes will absorb the sweat, instead of letting it evaporate from your body. Sweating is body’s natural cooling system, and it is best to wear airy clothing which allows your body to keep cool naturally.

3) Protection from direct exposure to sunlight

Avoid going outdoors during midday if possible. If you have to go, walk in the shades, wear wide-brim hats, sunglasses or use an umbrella. Carry a water bottle and take regular sips. Use sunscreen with SPF higher than 15 to avoid getting sunburns. If your day plans include a visit to the pool or a beach, use a water-resistant one with a higher SPF rating.

4)Avoid diuretics

Diuretics are substances or foods that increase the production of urine, which in turn results in loss of fluids from the body. Alcohol and caffeine containing beverages like coffee, cola have diuretic properties and should be avoided.  Avoid tobacco and smoking. Ziqitza Rajasthan & Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan have worked closely with frontline health workers to educate about avoiding smoking.

5) Eat fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, oranges, grapes and banana are rich in water content, essential minerals, and electrolytes. Include them in your diet for natural hydration. Additionally, avoid very spicy, oily and pungent foods as they can increase acidity. 

Speaking about the importance ofemergency medical aid, Mr. Amitabh Japuria – MD & CEO, Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd said, “Medical emergency strikes without warning in form of an accident or sudden illness. Research has shown that many patients with severe injury or heart attack or any other life-threatening medical conditions, die within first one hour.Severe dehydration, severe heat exhaustion or heat stroke are medical emergencies. One needs to immediately call for professional help as time is of utmost essence to minimize complications and subsequent disabilities. It is therefore necessary for all people, including children and the elderly, to memorize the relevant emergency numbers, like 108 for emergency medical aid. These may vary from state to state and region to region.

Satendra Singh is a renowned environmentalist and the pioneering founder of the 15-year-old people’s movement called “Clean, Green, Healthy and Educated India”.

Being run in three states, namely Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and NCR. “Clean, Green, Healthy and Educated India”, is a revolutionary movement led by this social enthusiast who has been engaged in the struggle for the environment for the people affected by the skyrocketing pollution.

Having founded the vision-oriented UtthanSamiti (A Ray of Hope), an alliance of hundreds of progressive people’s organizations, Satendra Singh is a researcher par excellence who has conducted thorough studies on the consequences of the development of hazardous industries globally and their alternatives.

Having led the HindonMahotsav, which was organised from 19th to 21st March 2021, Chairman and environmentalist Satendra Singh invited the people from the city and across the place to mark their presence at the grand fest. He also extends his word to take care of all the COVID-19 related guidelines proposed by the government.

He also organised Yamuna Mahotsav in Delhi to raise awareness on the massively polluted Yamuna River.

Satendra Singh is a senior reputed Industrial Labour Law Consultant for more than 20 years. He is also the advisor to the top level managements of many Indian and foreign companies.

One significant achievement of the stalwart is that he has been a pioneer in designing pay structure in compliance with the labour laws of India.

One of the finest features on the hat of this leader is the position of Editor-in-chief that he holds in the UdyogVihar News Paper. Through his insightful blogs he has been raising his views on  various issues related to environment and Swachta in every edition.

Satendra Singh has been celebrated with several awards such as the Social Impact Award, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Award, Honour by the Chartered Accountant of India (ICAI), Shining Diamond Award,  Honoured by Purvanchal Bhojpuri Mahasabha, Honour by BSF at wagha (Atari) border, Clean, Green Delhi Promotion Award, KrantidharaSahityaRatna Award, Small Business Award by Times Group, to name a few.

He says,” Through the plantation drives, we took stock of the land and plantation there. Certainly, when these trees grow, the district will get the gift of another city forest. At the same time, we will get rid of pollution. There is a shortage of oxygen in the air chamber today, this area will cooperate in filling it”.

Satendra Singh also criticised the tree-planting parade of governments and plantation campaigns of the administration for their usual rhetoric of planting saplings and leaving it then and there without any further attention. He also mentioned that the government, administration, daylight environmentalists and related authorities managed to get their name in the Guinness Book of Records for planting over fifty million trees in a day but en réalité, the figures are merely confined to papers. If actual accounting of the surviving trees is honestly made, not more than one-fourth of the trees will remain.

The creatively bent Satendra organises mass Bhandara in an idiosyncratic way. The special thing about the bhandara is that they organise tree bhandaras, where people are encouraged to organize and distribute potted plants to the people.

Chairman Satendra Singh Environmentalist said,”The rapid loss of oxygen from our atmosphere is a matter of great concern and trees are good sources of oxygen, so we should understand their utility and more and more around our homes, factories and business establishments. More plants should be planted as well as their care should be taken properly. We should plant more and more people like Peepal, Neem, Vat, Pilkhan, etc., which give a lot of oxygen and also keep the air chamber clean”.

Satendra Singh is the proud composer and writer of the book, “Bharat me SwachchataevamParyavarankeMayne”, b, a hippie, dispatched in Hindan Mahotsav’s program. In this book, he clarified alongside supporting data how we could make our country Clean, Green and Healthy, and how it is possible that we would make our India Pollutants free. Currently, we are living in a polluted atmosphere. Because of this, we have numerous illnesses of the heart, lungs, and kidney. Presently it’s an ideal opportunity to stir ourselves to battle contamination with the goal that we can save our children’s future.

Satendra Singh has been depited as an individual member from District Ganga Conservation Committee Ghaziabad on the directions of the Government of India to foster the mission of river conservation.

The team at Utthan organised a round Table Conference in India International Center in New Delhi with China Delegation along with CYL.
Mr Zhang Wei – Deputy Director (South Asian Affairs Division, Foreign Affairs Office of the People Government of Yunnan Province from China came to Delhi to exchange mutual trade, culture, and education in India.

Graced by a ten-member team from China, the event witnessed the esteemed presence of Mr. Sunil Shastri, son of former Prime Minister Mr LalBahadurShastri. With all these achievements under his belt, Mr Singh is certainly a motivation for environment enthusiasts across the globe with his dedicated approach towards making a planet a better place to live in.

With the help of numbers 0 to 9, a numerologist can reveal the past, present, and future of a person. Numerology can assist humankind in solving real-life problems with the help of numbers.

Not only guiding on future but these numbers can also be used therapy for solving many issues of human life.

From where you gained occult knowledge?

The learning and inclination to occult sciences are rooted in the rich history of the family. I gained occult knowledge from the very starting of my life and today it became as a mode to transform human life with the knowledge and skill gifted by almighty.

The first learning or initiation in occult science, I owe to my great grandfather from whom I learned the nuances of Astrology & Palmistry. Along with these basics of occult sciences, I was also gifted with motivational life stories from our religious scriptures such as Vedas, Ramayana, and practical life stories of ancestors penned down in the form of memories. 

Post-reading those, I read about Numerology, Lama Fera Healing, and many other occult modalities.

Along with the education journey of modern science, these learnings of the occult were also going on simultaneously through the effort and guidance of gurus.

How it all started?

I started my learning at the age of 6 years, and from there until now, this has been a learning journey with an objective to add new learnings every day in my life. I consider myself as a lifetime learner with passion and zeal to learn with every passing second of time.

In the initial years, the advice based on Astro numerology was limited to people known to me (virtually friends, relatives, their referrals, and so on).

With time, that advice shared in-person to a limited set of people started bearing fruits and on the motivation of those close group, laid the foundation of NumroVani on Sep 15, 2019, and started advising the public both online and offline platforms.

What is your achievement today?

The biggest achievement is seeing the smile on the people I have advised and keep on advising with every day.

I owe every achievement of mine to Lord Shiva and my gurus.

I have guided individuals, celebrities and business houses on their real-world problems and have brought smiles back on their faces.

People association and their love is the real power that makes me I am today. Very recently, I was rated as a leading spiritual influencer by a reputed newspaper. Furthermore, I have been recognized and felicitated by many organization and NGOs for my work such as the GBTEOI Award, India star Republic Award, Prime Time Global Icon Awards, etc.

My social media presence (NumroVani) has garnered more than 50K+ support over a period of time, and it is growing every day.

How can people contact you?

With the current situation in mind, I can be reached through my website and social mediaplatforms.

The consultation is delivered both online and offline.

What would you like to advise our readers?

My advice to each one reading this is to follow your passion and give everything it needs from you. The biggest competition one has is from themselves only. You are competing with yourself every day paves the path from person to blossom like a flower.

Thank you, Sidhharrth S Kumaar, for taking out time and speaking to us on your life journey. Your life journey is full of motivation, and I strongly believe it will inspire many to follow their passion as well. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

We tend to think too much and feel too little. We need compassion more than machinery; we need goodness and gentleness more than cleverness. Life will be violent without these values, and all will be lost. But In this tough time of the pandemic, some people are keeping humanity alive and one of them is Vikas Yadav, founder and CEO of ‘Generic India,’ a pharmaceutical Govt recognized startup.

 Vikas came up with this idea when the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 saw a rise and many people who did not receive medication suffered or received medicine at a very high cost. He did some research on drug prices and found that they were very low price. Also noticed that there are two types of medication available: generic and branded. 

He saw that India exports generic medicines to 200 countries; however, although generic medicines are widely available in India at a low cost, some retailers and other sellers charge a high price. The organisation focuses on people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and others who take medications daily.

The company aims to offer high-quality medication to the common man at a low cost as compared to market prices and to ensure that customers receive safe and reliable medicine. 

Generic India offers up to a 90% discount on all generic medications in all categories (Cardio, Diabetic, Paediatrics, Gyne, Derma, ENT, ortho). They have over 1500 items in their portfolio. All products are produced in WHO and GMP-certified facilities and checked by the NABL Lab.

If one wants to take advantage, “Generic India” can be found in places like Hisar, Gurgaon, Jhansi, Indore, Jabalpur, Bhopal, Satana, and others. Also, they have finalised several franchises in 17+ cities across India, in states such as Haryana, UP, MP, Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Assam, and others.

By the end of 2021, they have 1000+ aggregator stores and are getting 10+ stores per region. They intend to open 1000+ stores in the first step, with a goal of 100 cities.

Vikas says that “ We will do all we can to contribute to the creation of a safe country.”
