The year 2020 was all about loungewear because the world worked from home but the year 2021 is going to be a little more structured sartorially, hence dungarees may just be the new lockdown look for ladies who want to stay home but still stay in touch with their inner divas. With a protective bib on the chest, tight straps coming from back to front, and one-piece joining bottom to the top, dungarees are the ultimate outfit that keeps you snuggled and free at the same time. It is this inspiration that propelled FINSBURY LONDON® to become the world’s first womenswear brand to present the world’s largest collection of handmade dungarees. It goes without saying that each piece in this collection is unique and a fashion statement in itself.

What makes FINSBURY LONDON® different from other women’s wear brands is that instead of dealing in everything from bottom to upper, maxi to mini and tops to dresses, this clothing company has chosen to focus on just one thing – Dungarees. Each dungaree, thus, is a tribute to young women who love wearing this extraordinary outfit and remain on top of their fashion game.

The company has described the outfit to be better than other outfits because “you need to carry other outfits but a dungaree carries you and sets you free so that you remain focused on what you are doing in each moment.” The FINSBURY LONDON® dungarees are designed in the UK and handmade in India. The brand offers free shipping on orders delivered to both India and the UK while standard shipping charges are applicable on orders to the rest of the world. The brand outfits can be purchased from the company webstore – https://www.finsburylondon.com

The designs, developed after years of research and development, are aimed at staying relevant for longer. The fact that each one of their designs is unique, original & registered under The Controller General of Patents & Designs & Trademark makes each dungaree a piece to own and cherish. The uniqueness and variety of these dungarees is visible in the designs such as infusion of prints with denim, crystal works contrast threat stitching and contrast hem, etc. Some of the most popular articles in the FINSBURY LONDON® collection are – Zebra print women’s dungaree, Blue Gingham Check women’s dungaree, and Zed Black Jogger’s Denim dungaree. Positioning themselves as “not just another clothing label”, Finsbury London’s mission is “to design and manufacture the widest range of sturdiest dungarees for every occasion and each season.

Apart from using only sustainable fabrics, the company ensures that all its trims are developed keeping the highest possible quality in mind. From the metal used to create buttons and buckles to the elasticity of adjustable straps, FINSBURY LONDON® believes in going for the best of the best for the collection.

Not in the ‘rat race’ of cheap manufactured goods, FINSBURY LONDON® is the promoter of slow fashion that is super-premium in quality and limited in quantity. As of now, 90% of their manufacturing work is done by hand, which lends that ‘beautiful inconsistency of human touch’ to each piece, making it unique to wear. The company is proud to announce that all their dungarees are made in India, in a factory that doesn’t indulge in child labour practices, and where each worker gets fair wages and works in a socially compliant environment of the highest standard.

Last year, in the summer of 2020, Chinese and Indian troops clashed in a surprise border battle in the remote Galwan Valley, injuring each other to death with rocks and sticks. Four months later a sudden incident happened in Mumbai, India. Trains had shut down and the stock market closed as the power went out in a city of 20 million people. Hospitals had to switch to emergency generators to keep ventilators running amid the coronavirus outbreak which was undoubtedly the worst of India’s time.

“State-sponsored” Chinese programmer bunches had focused on different Indian power centres, the Union Power Ministry said on Monday yet added that these gatherings have been obstructed after government digital organizations cautioned it about their exercises. While the public authority would not verify or refute a New York Times report, in view of a U.S. online protection association’s case mentioning that the Mumbai blackout in October 2020 was essential for an organized cyberattack by China. It said it has endured “no data breach” because of the danger.

The malware was discovered by Recorded Future, a Massachusetts-based company that reviews online digital threats. It identified that the majority of the malware was rarely enacted. This implies just a little extent of malware prompted the Mumbai power blackout. 

The report additionally added that the China-connected danger movement bunch RedEcho may have planted the malware in key force plants in India. “RedEcho has been seen to deliberately use progressed digital interruption methods to discreetly acquire traction in almost twelve basic hubs across the Indian force age and transmission framework,” said Stuart Solomon, head working official of Recorded Future.

Branding, marketing communications and marketing technology firm Think North Consulting carves out a niche for itself in the impact space.

Innovative firms that develop clean technology to deliver safe water, future-facing organizations that further the cause of women leadership, young companies that promote sustainable farming and production practices — these are just some of the impact-driven brands that Think North Consulting services.

A dynamic young brand themselves, Think North Consulting was established in 2019 with one unique mission — to leverage their expertise to help companies make a difference. True to its purpose, it has attracted and aligned itself to brands that create the biggest impact across the globe. Think North Consulting helps these organizations create their brand identity, establish their digital presence and spread awareness about how they are making a socio-economic difference.

The Think North Story

Ever since its inception, Think North Consulting has kept its sight firmly set on a path that takes it ‘Upward, onward, inward’. The firm’s founder Anuradha Agarwal is a self-confessed optimist who believes in the power of introspection and being true to yourself. When she set up Think North Consulting in 2019, she decided to tap into what she knew were her strengths.

Her strategic planning capabilities and acute media intelligence had already earned her some recognition as one of the country’s Top 3 Marketers Under 30 — she was a Young Lions Finalist (Marketing) in 2018 and 2019, as well as a Young Spikes Finalist (Media) in 2018. In addition, an advanced program in AI-Powered Marketing from IIM-Calcutta, coupled with an M.Sc. degree in Communication and Entrepreneurship from the University of Nottingham, had also given her extensive know-how in marketing technology. Anuradha brought these strengths together to establish Think North Consulting — the digital consulting, marketing communications and marketing technology firm that takes brands upward, onward and inward.

From the beginning, Think North Consulting was powered by relationships. Their very first team was made up of a handful of trusted digital experts who all shared immense faith and belief in each other’s capabilities. They were backed by a few trusted clients who offered unwavering support. Together, they worked tirelessly to establish the young firm and build it up from the ground. The team was always genuinely invested in their clients’ journey — picking up their passion, developing in-depth knowledge about the business vertical and adding a unique marketing spin to each brand. Sometimes they would foresee an effective

strategy before the client even realized its need. This practice of going beyond corporate SOWs and adding a personal touch is what helped Think North Consulting attract so many clients from within the impact space. By the beginning of 2020, they had already set themselves apart as a firm that goes the extra mile to drive results.

The 2020 Test of Faith

2020 was a challenging year for many brands — and Think North Consulting was no exception. As retainers were slashed and marketing budgets pared down, Anuradha had a new priority. She had to keep her team’s morale up so that they could continue trusting their own capabilities and keep doing what they do best.

Her optimism and empathy, together with her introspective, human-centric leadership approach worked again. The team leveraged every bit of their cumulative expertise to think on their feet, improvise and adapt, even as the crisis unfolded to reveal new complexities every day. Together, they enabled clients to identify their strengths and reinvent themselves in a way that would help them stay relevant. For some clients, this meant going digital for the very first time. For those in the essential services space, this meant navigating the crisis with a reimagined brand strategy that would enable them to continue their operations as seamlessly as possible. These efforts worked, and clients discovered unexplored new opportunities for themselves. Even in the tumultuous year, Think North was named the ‘Communications Leader of the Year (2020)’ and Anuradha made it to Business Mint’s list of ‘30 under 30 in Marketing and Advertising (2021)’. The firm was named ‘India’s Most Admirable Brand (2021)’ by The Brand Story, and was featured with a digital publication in Forbes, India.

Thinking North, today and always

Today, Think North Consulting’s own goals are very closely aligned to that of their clients — they want to use their expertise to contribute towards a better world. They are always excited by the opportunity to work with impact-driven brands, women entrepreneurs and innovative young startups to help them amplify their voice and influence.

Right from the beginning, Anuradha and her team have always maintained a strong focus on constantly educating themselves and updating their skills to offer the best marketing

know-how to their clients and partners. This has not changed through the years. The team is currently establishing themselves in the Marketing Technology (MarTech) space, in order to be able to craft even more efficient strategies for clients.

Anuradha herself is involved with an organization that develops technological innovations designed to give all communities equal access to essential resources. She has played a role in training young minds through speaker sessions at Jindal Business School, and various Young Accelerator Programs. She has also been part of prestigious sessions with the industry experts and world leaders at Horasis India and Asia Meeting (2020) and Horasis Extraordinary Meeting (2021). Enabling equal opportunities for women in corporate and entrepreneurial spaces is another cause that is close to her heart.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was administered the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Monday morning at AIIMS, Delhi.

Post receiving his first dose, he tweeted “Took my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at AIIMS. Remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the global fight against COVID-19. I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine. Together, let us make India COVID-19 free!”

Today, with the country’s PM receiving the vaccine, the nation enters the second phase of the vaccination drive. The registration will start from 9:00 AM for senior citizens( above 60 years of age) and for 45-60 age of people with comorbidities.

Since many states encounter a sudden upsurge in the Covid-19 cases, this phase of the drives aims to cover 30 crores of the priority population who are most vulnerable to the virus.

Registration Process

For receiving the vaccination, an eligible person will have to register on Co-WIN 2.0 portal or through Arogya Setu App.

An individual can register as many as four beneficiaries through one mobile number. However, the beneficiaries will have to produce identity proofs individually. 

The center has listed seven different photo identity documents that can be produced by the beneficiaries during the vaccination process. The seven documents are:

• Aadhaar Card/Letter, 
• Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC), 
• Passport, 
• Driving License, 
• PAN Card, 
• NPR Smart Card and 
• Pension Document with a photograph

The first phase of vaccination received a lukewarm response from the people. Though the nation aimed to vaccinate 30 million health workers and frontline warriors but was able to achieve only half of them. The second phase aims to vaccinate a huge number of people.

Indian aluminium Industry has generated over 8 lakh jobs directly and in-directly and developed over 4000 SMEs in the downstream sector. The clarion call of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat from our Honorable Prime Minister is seeing Indians working on a war footing to fulfil this vision. The aluminium industry has a strong output and employment multiplier effect on other key sectors. It has forward linkages with aviation, defence, auto, electricity, construction, packaging etc., and backward linkages with mining, refining, chemical industry, power, and machinery.’’

Mr Pati also emphasized BALCO’s continued efforts during the pandemic as aluminium is a metal of strategic importance to the country and a vital raw material for key industries like electrical distribution, transportation, aerospace, defence, building & construction, etc. As aluminium smelters needed to be operational 24*7, BALCO ensured the continuity of operations, keeping up this critical raw material for first use and end-use industry sectors.

Mr Pati stressed how the classification of the aluminium industry as a ‘Core Industry’, as recommended by NITI Aayog and Mines Ministry, and formulation of National Aluminium Policy (NAP) as recommended by NITI Aayog can place the aluminium industry on priority status. Also, the pricing strategy for raw materials – coal and bauxite, need to be restructured to solve the prevalent issue of raw material security. He also suggested the much-needed reforms on guidelines for boosting domestic scrap recycling and achieving quality standards for scrap usage/imports and ways in which export competitiveness can be enhanced in India through the Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Products Scheme exclusively for the aluminium industry.

India’s 4th largest coal reserves and 5th largest bauxite reserves in the world along with its unique geographical location makes India a strategic location to become a major global low-cost aluminium production hub. Aluminium is one of the key growth sectors for India and possesses a huge potential to contribute as a wealth creator for the nation’s economic growth.

Hyderabad-based couple Rupal and Yogesh Gupta have taken to crowdfunding on ImpactGuru.com to cover the cost of Zolgensma therapy as their 2-year-old sonAyaanshis diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1.

SMA is a rare genetic disease that attacks the baby’s nerves and muscles, and as it progresses, makes it extremely difficult for the child to carry out basic activities like sit up, lift their head, swallow milk, and even breathe. SMA is currently the leading genetic cause of infant death worldwide, and it affects 1 in 10,000 babies.

Currently, Ayaansh is of 2 years and 9 months of age and has a chest deformation called pigeon’s chest. The child requires physiotherapy daily for at least 4-5 hours. Baby Ayaanshis on a complete liquid diet as he is unable to swallow properly. On an average day, he vomits around 5 times. He needs BiPAP support for breathing for 12 hours a day and often suffers from sleep apnea. Even when he has a cough, the little boy needs a tube i.e. catheter to remove the phlegm.

The only ray of hope for Baby Ayaansh isZolgensma, a one-time gene replacement therapy. Commercially Zolgensma is available in the USA for approximately USD $2.1 million (INR 16 crores). But the world’s most expensive medicine is not possible to arrange for a middle-class couple like the Guptas.

This is the ideal time for little Ayaansh to take the medicine as it is only approved for children who have a bodyweight of fewer than 13.5 kilograms. Ayaansh’s weight is 10 kilograms. 

In a heartfelt appeal, Ayaansh’sparents said, “Please donate on our ImpactGuru fundraiser (https://www.impactguru.com/fundraiser/donate-to-ayaansh-gupta) to relieve little Ayaansh of the daily torture of his condition. Every small amount will be one step closer to the required amount. Even sharing this story on social media platforms will be of immense help.”

In three weeks, Baby Ayaansh’s ImpactGuru fundraiser has raised over Rs. 2.50 crore cumulatively contributed from 8,400+ donors.

Baby Ayaansh’s ImpactGuru fundraiser update on 19^th February 2021 read: “Cheers to you and us! We have crossed our second milestone by raising Rs. 2crore+ on Ayaansh’s fundraiser. We have 14 more milestones to celebrate together and then the biggest one- Ayaansh getting the world’s most expensive drug, Zolgensma.

Thank you, for your amazing response to our SOS call. Without your constant inspiration and love, we would have probably crumbled under the pressure of arranging Ayaansh’s life-altering crores. But we stand strong because we have you by our side.

Do keep sharing Ayaansh’s story to make it go viral. We need all your help to save our sweet boy and on time. Help us.”#AyaanshFightsSMAImpactGuru
