Over the past decade, the start-up ecosystem in India has brimmed with young minds with the country having entrepreneurs at a median age of around 20 years.

For this millennial generation, age is truly no bar in order to break the stereotypes and carve out a unique niche for themselves. One such of a small town mind caught our attention, who has been talking of the town on social media lately.

A young entrepreneur named Rahul Kumar Pandey broke the odds and has made it big in the influencer marketing space. Rahul started his journey to the top with literally no connection and empty pockets. Currently, he is one of the most desirable names in the digital marketing field in the country, that too at the young age of 25.

He is the first one to have established Bihar’s first-ever Influencer Marketing agency by the name of FNF MEDIA. He has worked with big names like EaseMyTrip , Balaji Telefilms, TCL, Amazon, and many more.

Popular in his industry niche, However, his journey from a small-town boy to India’s youngest entrepreneur has been nothing sort of a roller coaster ride.

Completing his bachelor’s from Noida International University, he first started as a Civil Engineer. However, he left within a month and moved on to explore greater horizons. Despite so much of criticism for a place like Bihar, having people with an orthodox mindset, Rahul still managed to overcome all that, and strongly broke the stereotypes.

Having absolutely no background of being an entrepreneur, Rahul started his journey afresh, and never looked back. Within three years, he managed to convert his agency’s turnover of about 10 million rupees. His agency FNF MEDIA was even shortlisted for ‘Startup of the Year in Influencer Marketing’ by Silicon India Magazine, in 2019.
His ‘Earn From Home’ – An influencer outreach program is helping a lot of college students, housewives, and a vast portion of our society who are keen to earn and work from their home in this pandemic situation of COVID-19.

Inspiring entrepreneurs like Rahul Kumar Pandey are indeed changing the game for their generation and taking Indian start-up and digital ecosystem to the next level, altogether. These new-age young entrepreneurs, every now and then, proved themselves with their out of box thinking, leadership skills, and distinctive execution styles.
We wish him all the best for his future endeavors!

In March 2019, Tencent’s Timi Studios became the bearer of good news for countless gamers, when they released the mobile version of Call of Duty (COD). The excitement across the world was palpable as the creators saw 100 million downloads in the first week of the launch. Among these shooter-game enthusiasts was a young player who saw this as an opportunity to turn his love for COD into something big. What started as a pastime to blow off some steam, turned into a passion for Sanjog Bhushan aka Infinity. With this launch, he was no longer restricted to his desktop, which served as motivation for him to start competing with international players.

Infinity’s COD love mostly stems from the amount of planning and strategizing the game requires. It’s not just about a kill streak for him, like many young adults, he enjoys the war-like experience that the game has to offer. Notorious for his aggressive stance on the field, Infinity doesn’t shy away from marching headfirst onto the battleground and challenging his opponents. The thrill that comes from rendering your opponent worthless by surrounding them and laying their plans to waste, baffling them when they think they have an upper hand and, striking them at their most vulnerable, is what gets him going. His 4-finger claw technique enables him to make his moves faster meanwhile getting a better grip on his device.

When he joined Aman Khurana’s clan in season 3, he had no clue of the possibilities this collaboration would present. They met during a match and came together to form one of the best teams to play COD mobile, calling themselves The Legends Room (TLR). TLR mostly plays Battle Royale, taking part in various tournaments, in and outside India; a battlefield where a total of hundred players fight till their deaths, with the last standing player or team winning the match.

It was during the starting phase of this collaboration that he explored tactics other than his initial manner and excelled under his friend’s guidance. With time, his gameplay became a combination of aggressive and supportive, adding varied skills to his list, gradually making him an all-rounder. He went on to become one of the exceptional players of the team eventually leading the tournaments that followed. Along with Aman Khurana aka Godkiller, and his ruthless team, Sanjog led the team to many victories. In Tier 1 Super League, a tournament that went on for two and a half months, they bagged the third position. Here, he was announced as the ‘Most Promising and Upcoming Player’. Due to Infinity’s striking abilities, his presence of mind and, his on-ground agility, that makes the rival squads nervous; he has become one of the best Battle Royale players in Asia.

TLR, with the combined leadership of Infinity and Godkiller, became India’s only team to play in the Global Tier 1. They are all set to win the upcoming Asia Regional, where Battle Royale team will be led by Infinity and the Multi-player team by Godkiller; they have been eagerly preparing, waiting to practice their moves on the opposing squads in the future Tier1 tournaments in India and around the world.

They are a big clan with each member demonstrating their uniqueness in the arena. They sprint into every match with a different strategy; unpredictability increases their chances of defeating their opponents. Firing his shots according to the on-field situation is one of the principles that he stands by. He is fully aware of the new challenges every game presents and how the opposition’s defence evolves with every game. Therefore, he concentrates on what the game demands rather than a fixed, familiar plan, giving him the domination on the battleground.

Sanjog Bhushan believes in taking an Affiliative leadership approach with his teammates. He lets every member show their skills, acknowledging their efforts on the field. He even believes in stepping back to let his team member score. Their clan is a fine example of comradery, each player with their singular talent, supports and encourages the other. They believe in looking out for each other on the field.

Sanjog Bhushan aka Infinity starts his matches by prepping his team for gruelling face-offs while setting an example with his tactics as they go along. Their post-win celebrations are filled with each player narrating the stories and their favourite moments from the game, which, in the future, will not be confined to their team. There are certain rumours of a gaming house brewing, a place for this talented lot to share their chronicles with more like-minded people.

But there is still an opportunity to substantially reduce the death toll by prioritising the most critical services, specifically antiretroviral therapy for HIV, timely TB diagnosis and treatment, and provision of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets for malaria, researchers say.

Some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) could see HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria deaths increase by as much as 10%, 20%, and 36% respectively over the next 5 years due to the disruption of health services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its response, according new modelling research published in The Lancet Global Health journal.

Modelling the public health impact of COVID-19 on HIV, TB, and malaria in LMICs over the next 5 years, researchers estimate that in areas heavily affected by these major infectious diseases, the impact of COVID-19 disruption on years of life lost (the number of years a person would have been expected to live had they not died of a particular cause) could, in the worst case, be of a similar scale to the direct impact of the pandemic itself.

The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause substantial disruptions by overwhelming already fragile health systems, or through response measures limiting routine programme activities and care-seeking, and interrupting medical supply chains. But maintaining core services for HIV, TB, and malaria—specifically access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), timely TB diagnosis and treatment, and early resumption of the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) and antimalarial treatment—could largely mitigate the broader health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers say.

However, the authors caution that predicting the true impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its response on other diseases is fraught with difficulty, especially when so much remains unknown about the virus and the extent to which other disease programmes may be disrupted, and how this might impact population health. They flag that their study aims to quantify the potential scale of the impact of COVID-19, and to guide how it could be minimised, rather than provide precise estimates.

Malaria deaths worldwide have reduced by half since 2000, but progress has stalled as mosquitoes and parasites gain resistance to treatment. Around 94% of deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa where malaria claimed an estimated 380,000 lives in 2018. Similarly, global HIV/AIDS deaths have halved in a decade driven by the availability of ART. In 2019, around 690,000 people died from the disease worldwide, the vast majority in LMICs. An estimated 49 million lives were saved through TB diagnosis and treatment between 2000 and 2015, but the disease still claimed the lives of 1.8 million people in 2018—with over 95% of these deaths occurring in LMICs [2].

“The COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to it could undo the some of the advances made against major diseases such as HIV, TB, and malaria over the past two decades, compounding the burden caused by the pandemic directly”, says Professor Timothy Hallett from Imperial College London, UK, who co-led the research. “In countries with a high malaria burden and large HIV and TB epidemics, even short-term disruptions could have devastating consequences for the millions of people who depend on programmes to control and treat these diseases. However, the knock-on impact of the pandemic could be largely avoided by maintaining core services and continuing preventative measures.” [1]

He continues, “Our findings underscore the extraordinarily difficult decisions facing policy makers. Well managed, long-term suppression measures could avert the most COVID-19 deaths. But if these interventions are not well managed, they could cause people to stay away from hospitals and clinics and force public health programmes to be cancelled, leading to a large spike in deaths from other major infectious diseases that had been coming under control.” [1]

Discussing the implications of the findings in a linked Comment, Peter Sands, Executive Director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Geneva, Switzerland (who was not involved in the study) says, “The knock-on impact on HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria could potentially be even worse than this study suggests, and in some countries, it could be even worse than the direct impact of COVID-19. The Global Fund conducts a biweekly qualitative survey across the more than 100 countries in which it invests; the latest published results suggest that 85% of HIV, 78% of tuberculosis, and 73% of malaria programmes are being disrupted. 18% of HIV programmes, 17% of tuberculosis programmes, and 19% of malaria programmes are experiencing high or very high disruption.”

He adds, “In countries heavily affected by HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, COVID-19 could result in many years of hard-won gains being reversed. We cannot let this happen. We need more resources and decisive action, and we must measure success not just in terms of minimising the direct impact of COVID-19, but in terms of minimising its total impact, including the knock-on impact on HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.”

In this study, the researchers assumed a basic reproductive number (R0; the average number of people each individual with the virus is likely to infect) of 3 to develop four different policy response scenarios to the COVID-19 pandemic—no action, mitigation (which represents a 45% reduction in R0 for 6 months using interventions such as physical distancing), suppression-lift (a 75% reduction in R0 for 2 months), or suppression a 75% reduction in R0 for 1 year; see table 1). Then they used transmission models of HIV, TB, and malaria to estimate the additional impact on health that could be caused in different settings, either by COVID-19 interventions limiting routine programme activities, or due to COVID-19 cases overburdening the health system (table 2, figure 2).

Overall, the findings suggest that the impact of the pandemic varies according to the extent to which interventions against COVID-19 cause long disruptions to activities, and how successfully those measures reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and avoid the health system being overwhelmed.

The greatest impact on HIV is projected to be from interruption to the supply and administering of ART, which may occur during times of high health system demand. In the worst case scenario, assuming no action or suppression-lift, countries with high rates of HIV typical in parts of southern Africa (20% prevalence among 15-49 year olds in 2018), could see up to 10% more deaths due to HIV over the next 5 years than would occur without COVID disruptions—equivalent to 612 additional HIV deaths per million population in 2020-2024. The researchers suggest that offering individuals receiving ART multi-month prescriptions or home delivery could ensure they can access treatment even in periods of highest health system demand.

For TB, the greatest impact is predicted to be from reductions in timely diagnosis and treatment of new cases, which could result from long periods of COVID-19 containment measures limiting access to services. In the worst case scenario, assuming suppression in countries with a very high burden typical in southern Africa (520 new cases per 100,000 population in 2018), TB deaths could rise by as much as 20% over the next 5 years (equivalent to 987 additional TB deaths per million population in 2020-2024) compared with when services are functioning normally.

The model predicts that the greatest impact on malaria burden could result from interruption of planned net campaigns, which usually take place every 3 years. In the worst case, with COVID-19 disruptions coinciding with the malaria transmission season and planned LLIN distribution, malaria deaths could increase by 36% over the next 5 years—equivalent to 474 additional malaria deaths per million population in 2020-2024.

“Many of the gains made in malaria control over the past decade have been due to distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets in sub-Saharan Africa where the vast majority of malaria deaths occur. However, the COVID-19 pandemic will likely disrupt these distributions in 2020, resulting in more malaria deaths”, says co-lead author Dr Alexandra Hogan from Imperial College London, UK. “Routine preventative measures must be prioritised, ensuring mosquito net distribution campaigns and prophylactic treatments, such as mass drug distribution and seasonal malaria chemoprevention, are maintained.” [1]

The authors note several limitations, including that the scenarios modelled are not exhaustive but reflect the trade-offs between disruption due to COVID-19 interventions and periods of high health system demand. They also note that did not consider how long-term global changes such as a global recession might affect disease programmes.
