Eco-Friendly solutions could save the future – Himansh Verma

The India Saga Saga |

The alarming situations are giving us a warning that our future will not be able to survive if the Earth’s deterioration will continue at the same pace. Our flora and fauna are on the verge of extinction, and there is an urgent need to bring eco-friendly solutions so that we can preserve nature’s beauty by providing a greener, cleaner, and safer place to live. So many companies are taking a step ahead towards bringing the zero harm technologies. Navrattan Group is one such business group led by Himansh Verma, who is continuously working on bringing the novel technologies for the betterment of our Earth.

The Group is presently working with six verticals – Navrattan Infra Pvt. Ltd, Navrattan Holdings Ltd., Navrattan USA Inc, Navrattan Green Power Co. Ltd. Navrattan Green Cement Industries Pvt. Ltd. and Navrattan Science and Technology KFT. All the companies under the banner are working hard to produce alternatives to present pollution problems. 

The Group is presently involved in acquiring Intellectual Property rights of various science and technology innovations from all over the world. Their main projects include Navrattan Green Crete, which is going to be launch soon in the Indian Markets. Navrattan Green Crete is a revolutionary innovation in the construction industry. It is much more durable and stronger than Portland cement. Not only this, but it is an eco-friendly cement alternative for a sustainable future. The product does not require any big set-ups or utilize energy-intensive kilns. Unlike Portland cement, which is the second major cause of carbon emission into the atmosphere. For each ton of Portland cement produced a considerable amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere, thus severely polluting the air.

Navrattan Green Crete exhibits many structural qualities and benefits over the OPC. Hydrophobic in nature, the Green Crete is ideal for use in waterproofing, pipe coatings, dams, spillways, underwater construction, basements, and structures that are exposed to wet climatic conditions. The 100% ‘Green’ Crete does not pollute the Earth and substantially helps to lower the carbon in the atmosphere.

The product, Navrattan Green Crete is a revolution in the construction industry. The Crete does not use limestone and the subsequent burning and baking process, which generates the maximum amount of pollution. The raw material used for the manufacture of the Crete includes 90% of waste materials and 10% the unique, innovative formula. Once this product is in the market, it will change the face of the cement industry and provide us an entirely eco-friendly alternative.

The India Saga Saga |

People around work for money, success, needs but there among all, the list of heart followers is less. Even in this era, we find some people lacking the courage to follow what their inner self demands but then on another hand, we find people like Chef Faisal, who have achieved such great success in the field of banking but still listen to their heart, their inner self, and their soul’s desire. Yes, he did such a changeover. Reason? Inner call. Demand? passion for food. Such simplicity it takes to say this but the one who takes over is the one who knows the actual struggle that lies behind changing paths from being a well-paid fixed income banker to a chef. Chef Faisal achieved many a degree, many a certificate but couldn’t resist what he was lacking. For him, his success was not after what his heart was demanding and his passion is none for which someone would have stopped and see today he is the member of World Master chefs society and the founder of Chef Faisal Consultancy which takes privilege in advising multiple restaurants inn KSA and Bahrain. He also trains many chefs under him which has made him fluent with what we call out of the ordinary.

“I started with no clue to where this journey might take me. All I knew was that I want to follow my heart. I took multiple courses in cooking from the best of cooking schools in Italy and England and the satisfaction I gained is really hard to describe in words. I was truly on the verge of getting promoted after promoted and then making a life in banking but the call of my passion made me realize that it’s better to advise the food enthusiasts rather than advising people for money. I wish to see as many successful running restaurants as I live, under my consultancy. It’s like a dream to aspire all those lacks with a bit of inspiration”, says Chef Faisal in one of the interviews conducted with this challenge taker.

His step, his every step is a one to notice and learn from. He can be an idol but his down to earth nature makes him special from others. He always walks with other chefs and never shows a superiority complexion. He says, “whenever I meet someone new who comes to me for consultancy, I love to listen to their stories. I love to hear from what they started and what brings them in the field of food which will never ditch them over some promotion. Sometimes, I laugh, sometimes, cry but trust me the more I heard, the more I learned. Their stories, well, it makes me get lost in mine and by the time I get out, I am already having the best of consultation advice for what the other one demands.”

Cooking is not easy. You can’t win a heart until you win yours and the increasing followers of Chef Faisal make us realize that yes, what he chooses, he sticks to that and made something out of himself. Today, if we check his Instagram handle, there are 1456 followers and still gaining pace with every single post he makes and every single piece of advice he gives. For Chef Faisal the followers he wants is not just like that, he wants it to be numbered by the number of successful consultancy services he gives and hearts he win. Well, this is something hard to hear from people these days as all are behind the love of followers. They are more after people rather than the ones who they serve and this is what makes Chef Faisal famous in his way and loved by the same.

Modi Government pushing AAI to bankruptcy by taking away its profitable airports

The India Saga Saga |

The government move to take away profitable airports from Airports Authority of India (AAI) and offering them to private companies may eventually make the state-owned entity sick.

Going by the current pace of privatization, the day will not be too far when the same government will be seeking resolution of AAI under insolvency and bankruptcy law.

Privatization is perhaps a quick fix to a problem and not a long-lasting solution. In order to bring real change and transformation, it is important to change the processes and governance. The government has preferred to take easy route but it probably does not realize that such moves have limitations.

It has so far gone for “one size fits all” approach. The approach is going fast, furious and over-speeding on most issues. Be its note-ban move to curb black money or hasty GST implementation to push economic growth. Similarly, it is going whole hog on privatization of airports.

It is easier to make a large entity small. It takes a lot of effort to grow an organization in size and scale. Over the years AAI grew in size and scale and has the potential to become one of the top airport operators. With a large pool of specialised personnel and professionals, sizeable operations and financial muscle, it can certainly reach new heights. But the government as its owner would have to come in its support. Sadly, it has pulled the plug.

If a public sector entity can create world’s five star airports like Changi in Singapore and Dubai, there is no reason why AAI can not create large airport hubs in India.

“Reasoning is required for AAI and airports in general. Privatization is one way of fixing the problem quickly. But it may not be a sustainable solution for future,” said an aviation consultant.

In case the government really wants India to become a $5 trillion economy by 2024-25, it needs to bring change in processes, governance and the way public sector companies function. It needs to ensure that enough autonomy is given to the state-run companies and unshackle them to take their decisions.

The management of these companies should enjoy freedom in decision-making. They can not be expected to accomplish big goals when their hands are tied.

While airports globally have turned into commercial hubs with a lot of businesses thriving around them, they remain the key infrastructure for fast and safe transportation. In a developing country like India, airports can not be allowed to go completely in private hands for the sole purpose of profit-making. It poses risks to affordable flying.

The government has gone ahead with privatizing six airports and selected another half a dozen to bid out. But the government needs to reverse its decision before it is too late.
