“

Good Times are friends and not so good times teach. The attitude towards not so Good times will determine the sustainability and longevity of Good times.

“

Balendu: As a leader, you need not be the smartest person in the room you are in. It means there is little to learn. Always find new rooms where people are smarter than you, and you can learn something from them. Hire people smarter than you. Do not let insecurity prevent you from surrounding yourself with the best. Leaders always know their role and build teams around them to best suit the plan they have created. As they say, ‘Patience is the mother of all virtues.’ There is a strong need to be patient and deal with every situation with a calm and composed mind. It is useful to emphasize the importance of people management skills as the people are the most valued assets. It’s clear that having a practical yet logical approach goes a long way in your personal growth and also while leading a team.

THE RICHARD BRANSON From Starting a School Magazine to Manufacturing Spacecrafts

ir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson, often referred to as Richard Branson, is a British business tycoon best known for founding the Virgin Group, which includes more than 400 firms. According to Forbes’ 2011 list of billionaires, Branson is the fifth-richest person in the UK with an estimated net worth of USD 4.2 billion. Everything from credit cards to flights and music “megastores” bears the internationally renowned “Virgin” name. With his marketing strategies and balloon escapades, he has the ability to draw media attention.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition July 2022 | INDIA

Early Life

The Rolling Stones and Ozzy Osbourne were two more wellknown Virgin artists. Virgin Music, which has offices in Germany, France, and Japan, was one of the top six record labels at the end of the decade. Branson paid $180,000 to acquire Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands in 1979.

Richard Branson was born on July 18, 1950 in Blackheath, London. His father Edward James Branson was a barrister and mother Eve Branson a former ballet dancer and air hostess. He has two sisters and his grandfather was a judge of the High Court of Justice.

• 1980s

Branson struggled academically in school as he had dyslexia. Until the age of thirteen, he attended Scaitcliffe School for his education. Then, until the age of sixteen, he attended Stowe School. Early on, he started to exhibit entrepreneurial tendencies, and with time, he learned how to build relationships.

In 1981, Virgin Books and Virgin Video were established. Within two years, more than 50 distinct businesses with total annual revenues of more than $17 million were a part of Branson’s corporate empire. In 1984, Branson teamed up with attorney Randolph Fields to start Virgin Atlantic, one of his most well-known businesses to date. The airline’s stellar customer service and cutting-edge onboard amenities, like complimentary ice cream, seat-back TV screens, and in-flight massages, helped it take off.

Branson got into the publication of a magazine named “Student” at the age of 16. Soon in 1970, he decided to stop continuing his education and instead started a mail-order company for audio records. He took the risk and started Virgin Records, a chain of record shops in 1972 which was later renamed as Virgin Megastore. In the 1980s, the brand expanded rapidly. Later, Branson founded Virgin Atlantic Airways and expanded the Virgin Records music label.

• 1990s

In order to keep Virgin Atlantic operational, Branson had to sell Virgin Records, which was very close to his heart, for $1 billion in 1992. For Virgin Atlantic, these were turbulent years. People refrained from travelling due to terrorist incidents, and its larger rival British Airways was engaged, as described by Branson, in a hostile campaign targeted to damage Virgin Atlantic permanently.

Personal Life

Branson became Sir Richard Branson in 1999 after receiving a Knighthood for his contributions to entrepreneurship. He lives in London at the moment and is married with two kids. Even he owns an island called Necker Island.

Branson successfully prosecuted British Airways for defamation, and in 1993 the judge ordered British Airways to pay Branson and Virgin $945,000 in damages, along with legal costs estimated at almost $3 million, and to issue an apology. Later, in 1997, Branson launches Virgin Trains.

His autobiography, “Losing My Virginity: How I’ve Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way,” is quite successful wherein he discusses his professional accomplishments, travels, and personal history.

• 2000s

Virgin Group and Sprint established Virgin Mobile as a joint venture in 2001. Sprint shut down Virgin Mobile in 2020 and switched customers to Boost Mobile.

His journey

The Virgin Group is involved in leisure, travel, tourism, mobile, broadband, TV, radio, music festivals, finance, and health, with almost 400 enterprises in over 30 countries. Let’s take a peek into his journey.

In September 2004, Branson once more focused on the sky and teamed with American aeronautical engineer Burt Rutan to develop Virgin Galactic, which would use authorised spacecraft to transport visitors into space. Branson envisioned offering affordable space travel.

• 1960s

When Richard Branson was 16 years old, he launched his ‘Student’ magazine, which included celebrity interviews and sold about $8,000 worth of advertising in its debut issue. To promote his magazine, the kid dropped out of school.

The launch date of the first commercial space flights was delayed due to a regrettable chain of incidents, which included a disaster in 2014. They completed their first successful, fully crewed space mission in 2021. Branson had enrolled 800 clients as of 2022.

He established a mail-order record company in 1969, using the magazine office as its operating base.

Branson now owns four businesses that are dedicated to space. In addition to Virgin Galactic, the company also runs Virgin Orbit for freight, VOX for government missions, and the Spaceship Company, which, as its name suggests, constructs spacecraft.

The new company was founded by Branson and his 20-person team under the name Virgin.

• 1970s

Branson established Virgin Mail Order Records in 1970. He had a rough beginning, but by 1972 he had grown to operate 14 record stores. In 1972, he founded the record company Virgin Records using the money from his network of record shops, and in 1973, Virgin Records recording artist Mike Oldfield sold more than 5 million copies of his single, “Tubular Bells,” giving him his first million-dollar payday.

At Present

Branson’s willingness to sign the Sex Pistols and other controversial musicians contributed to some of his early success at Virgin Records.

Branson also started social activism initiatives like Virgin Unite to fight HIV and AIDS and the Branson Center of Entrepreneurship to train entrepreneurs in underdeveloped nations.

Branson is looking deeper into the future with his most recent investment in Hyperloop One, a firm that is developing highspeed transportation and cargo pods that move at 250 miles per hour. To get that speed, magnetic levitation pushes the pods on top of a track, producing airline speeds that enable the pods to travel across great distances.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES THAT ACTUALLY WORK

s the way we work has changed, employee engagement has become a challenge and much more important. Employees working remotely and generally need to feel belonged to the working group and the company in order to give their best and stay longer in the company. As they are away from direct supervision, trust becomes absolutely paramount. An engaged employee can be trusted, and perform their job consistently and go the extra mile to deliver high-quality results.

The below mentioned employee engagement strategies certainly solve the problem. 1. Exercise Transparency:

The founder of WikiJob, Chris Muktar, asserts that “your workers can’t really dedicate themselves to anything if they don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and for what they are working on.” Because doing so will encourage your staff to get invested in the company, it is crucial to be open and honest with them. How do you interact with something you can’t see or understand? Chris raised this important issue. Employee disengagement is inevitable when management appears to be a mystery.

2. WWith employee engagement initiatives, work may be more enjoyable:

Giving workers the opportunity to leave their workstations and develop a sense of community with co-workers will keep them committed and motivated. Although there are endless activities you may arrange, here are a few suggestions: Office competitions: Hold a yearly Office Olympics competition or a weekly afternoon trivia contest. Lunch-and-learn sessions: Give staff members the chance to present a TED-style talk on a subject they are enthusiastic about. Theme days: Schedule times when staff members can wear costumes, bring food for a potluck, or engage in themed activities. Celebrate milestones like birthdays and new births: Recognizing significant occasions in your workers’ life will show them that you care about them outside the workplace. It’s crucial to organise job engagement events during the working day rather than after hours. Employees could otherwise feel as though work-related activities are interfering with their personal lives. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition July 2022 | INDIA

3. Constitute an Employee Engagement Committee:

There shouldn’t be more than eight to ten people on an employee engagement committee. Asking for volunteers is a smart idea before deciding who will serve since those that are ready to participate are typically your most engaged employees. Do some targeted outreach if the initial wave of volunteers is insufficient. You need workers who are dedicated, energetic, and well-liked by their co-workers. By talking with each other and their co-workers about what is required to establish a workplace where everyone feels appreciated, the committee’s goal is to come up with solutions for the problems identified in the employee engagement survey. The committee then informs management of these options and sees to it that the necessary adjustments are made.

4. Conduct a poll on employee satisfaction:

Prior to attempting to increase employee engagement, you must first establish a baseline. An employee engagement survey can help with that. The survey can be organised in a variety of ways, including: Putting things on a scaleFor instance: How would you grade this statement on a scale of 1 to 5? “When I do my work successfully, I get the proper recognition.” Closed-ended questions(For instance, what is the hardest thing about working at this firm every day?) Questions with multiple optionsFor instance: Which area do you believe requires the most development for the company? A. Employee growth, B. Communication, and C. Work-life balance.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

Provide Learning Opportunities and Continued Education Promote Transparency at Work Create a psychologically safe workplace for your team to thrive by being adaptable, nimble, and open with employee feedback. Think Carefully About Your Company’s Culture Encourage a sense of neighbourhood and teambuilding with a virtual happy hour. Create an online “Water Cooler” Identify and Apply Your Core Values Offer frequent criticism Prioritize employee well-being Offer more benefits and privileges to employees Assist Workers in Achieving Financial Wellness

5. Make Them Feel Respected:

The focus of this strategy is on the unique contribution that each individual makes to the business. You want your staff to feel valued for both their contributions and opinions. An engaged employee is one that is willing to voice their opinions to their leadership team, even if they are unfavourable ones, since they are certain that they will be taken seriously. This is the fastest approach for firms to identify problem areas, but it will only take place if workers are certain that speaking out would not have any bad effects.

6. Enable Managers to Coach:

When it comes to motivating and engaging their staff, your managers are at the forefront. They are the face of the company for your employees. Their behaviour is perceived as company’s behaviour. Empower your managers to coach, to mentor the employees if need be. The managers should not only manage their employees, they must also be coaching, counselling, and supporting their development. Engaged managers will foster the culture of engagement and will bring more job satisfaction level at individual level which will gradually impact the company positively.

7. Engage dispersed teams and remote workers:

Employee engagement is significantly impacted by the size and spread of your business. You will have to work harder to make workers who work from home or in satellite offices feel like they are a part of the company culture. Using technologies like videoconferencing rather than phone conferencing may make remote workers feel like a part of the team. It also aids in preventing remote teams from feeling excluded or inferior by guaranteeing that all workstations have the same facilities and benefits, wherever they may be.

Final Words:

A dedicated employee becomes an asset for the company while a disengaged and not committed employee becomes a liability. Following mentioned strategies improve workers engagement that results in better performance. Here are some more points to take care of. 1. Start with trust, 2. give people freedom to use their creativity. 3. Get to Know Your People and Truly Care About Them 4. Implement a Peer-to-Peer Recognition Program to Celebrate Daily Wins 25

THE BEST

COMPANY TO WORK FOR IN 2022

A REVOLUTION IN THE SOFTWARE ARENA JUST GOT BETTER Gulshan Parveen | Business Connect

Business Connect has been a great appreciator of organizations setting high standards in the corporate world with their innovative service panel. And here again, we are back with another tale of inspiration. Our editorial team had an interesting and joyful session with the leadership panel of Webtech Softwares & Services Limited. The management panel of the company, along with the Founder and CEO, Amit Khemka, shared numerous unknown facts and his entrepreneurial journey so far. We truly hope and desire that this fascinating read will add some extra value to the lives of our global readers and encourage them to chase their dreams.

COMPANY PORTFOLIO

Giving a brief introduction of the company, Amit asserts, “Webtech Softwares and Services Ltd. is a company dedicated and committed to bringing the internet closer to the consumer by providing them with unique, engaging and engrossing content curated from across the internet. The idea is to inform, entertain, delight and intrigue our users by offering innovative and data driven applications and services. Moreover, our mission is to bring sports fans under a common umbrella to enable cohesive and collaborative information sharing and consumption. We pride ourselves on our highly competent technical team and especially our content and marketing head who has tirelessly worked to bring us where we are today and whose visionary and pragmatic approach has enabled us to streamline our offerings and delight our users.” He further adds, “Most people in the world follow 2 passions in some form or the other – Music and Sports. Over 50 million sports related searches are conducted on the internet each day. After religiously working for 5 years we have been able to create one of the largest and widest sports information and statistics database in the world – www.spoogle.in. To put in perspective, our website contains over 5 million pages, more than 25 million records spanning over 50 sports across 150 years of history. We offer over 55 innovative and engaging modules and sections and 10 mobile apps to satisfy even the weirdest queries of our users.”

EDGE IN THE REALM

Founded by Mr. Amit Khemka, a die-hard sports enthusiast and technology buff, who has conceptualized, designed, and implemented several innovative technology solutions over the years, Spoogle is built completely from scratch without significant external code and offers unparalleled flexibility, performance, and cutting-edge technology. “Our strong R & D based approach has enabled us to enact an error free and fairly accurate repository of sports based information. We offer complete flexibility to our employees to enhance their skills and add value. We believe in a collaborative and cohesive approach, rather than an authoritarian one,” says Amit.

WHAT FUTURE HOLDS

“Although, yet in its beta stage, we have received rave reviews from sports enthusiasts and domain experts as to the efficacy and market potential for spoogle. A lot is to be done to make spoogle a complete product, and shortly, we plan to enrich it with advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, along with deep regionalization and adding an ultra-local flavor to it. We also plan to build one of the most enriched communities of sports content writers and journalists by providing them with innovative data tools to churn out engaging and delightful content. These endeavors are capital intensive and time-consuming. In this regard, we welcome like-minded and visionary investors to back us so that spoogle can truly become what it’s meant to be. In 3-4 years, when spoogle would have matured, we see it as the de facto tool for global sports fan engagement by continuously bringing it closer to matching the aspirations and expectations of sports fans globally. In a nutshell, we have created a data-driven behemoth that caters to a massive, largely unexplored global market of sports enthusiasts and followers who are expecting to be delighted. With little technical competition and with a sector largely dominated by news agencies and broadcasters, a huge gap is ready to be bridged that just might prove to be a highly scalable and profitable business model.”-Amit Khemka.

Mystery of

NORTH SENTINEL ISLAND In Indian Ocean: Why Visitors Are Banned?

and killed them right away. Whether on surveillance duties or delivering food baskets to the people, Indian Coast Guard helicopters are attacked with arrows and stones when they pass overhead.

Location of Sentinel Island

North Sentinel is one of the islands of Andaman Islands-a chain island controlled by India- in the Bay of Bengal which also includes South Sentinel Island. The island chain is much closer to Myanmar and Thailand than to the main land of India.North Sentinel falls 36 km west of the town of Wandoor in South Andaman Island and 59 km north from South Sentinel Island. The island, which has a total area of about 59.67 square km is surrounded by coral reefs and lacks natural harbours. The entire island is full of forest and a narrow white sand beach encircles the island.

ndia has forbidden its nationals from travelling to North Sentinel Island or seeking to communicate with the residents there. It’s prohibited to go within three miles of the island. The Sentinelese people have a reputation for being violent and hostile to strangers. They reside on a square island, which is largely covered with forest and mostly unknown. In 2006, when two fishermen washed up on the strand, the tribe attacked

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition July 2022 | INDIA

In 2004, the island was lifted by one to two meters by an Indian Ocean earthquake that resulted in extending the boundaries of the island 1km on the west and south sides. 32

Culture

happened when John Allen Chau, a young American, was killed by islanders in 2018. He paid a bribe of INR 20,000 to the fisherman to carry him there.

The Sentinelese are hunter and gatherer. They consume plants and animals that they find on their island and in the surrounding seas. According to experts, this probably contains fish, fruits, eggs from seagulls and turtles, tiny mammals, and fish. Using resources from the island, the tribe also crafts its own weaponry. Bows and arrows, daggers, and spears are a few of these.

Anthropologist Anup Kapur said, “the Sentinelese want to be left alone.” The Sentinelese are thought to have moved from Africa some 50,000 years ago, but much is still unknown about their lives. Anvita Abbi, an expert on the tribal languages of India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands who has spent decades researching them, said, “We do not even know how many of them are there.” Experts assume that a few dozen to several hundred people live on the forbidden island. It is unknown what language they speak or how ancient it is, according to Abbi. Nobody is able to contact these individuals. “Why should we bother a community that has survived for tens of thousands of years only for our curiosity, ‘’ she questioned? Indian authorities have strictly restricted trips to North Sentinel for years, with interaction limited to very infrequent “gift-giving” meetings in which small teams of officials and scientists leave bananas and coconuts for the islanders. Experts warn that because people of this island lack immunity to illnesses brought by outsiders, any interaction with such isolated individuals can be deadly for them.

Contact Attempts in Past

The Indian government made many attempts to contact the Sentinelese. In 1967, Triloknath Pandit, an anthropologist, was sent along with a number of policemen and navy officials. When the group came near the island, Sentinelese clearly showed that they were not interested at all in any contact. But Pandit and his crew came back repeatedly. They left gifts for the Sentinelese as a gesture of goodwill. The tribe started accepting the presents over time. The coconuts that Pandit and his colleagues had brought were of particular interest to them. By 1991, the Sentinelese had become less hostile toward the tourists and had even come to collect their presents unarmed. They still kept the visiting group at a safe distance and never invited them to visit their village or didn’t give any gift in return. Finally, the Indian government stopped the visits in 1996. However, other contact attempts with the Sentinelese were also made by outside people The Indian government has prohibited travel to North Sentinel Island for a long time. This was for the safety of both the Sentinelese and visitors. An American called John Allen Chau made an unauthorized trip to North Sentinel Island in 2018. He intended to introduce himself to the Sentinelese as an ardent Christian missionary. However, he also encountered resistance. Chau, who was 26 years old, was killed by the tribe.

P C Joshi, an anthropology professor at Delhi University, declared that “we have turned into very dangerous people.” “Even little things can kill them.” Because of this, according to Abbi, researchers who travel to remote communities take special care to keep their stays brief and to avoid the people altogether, even if they just have a little cold or cough. The other tribes of the island chain have been mostly wiped off during the previous century due to sickness, intertribal marriage, and migration. According to Survival International, a group that works for the rights of tribal people, Chau could have been inspired by recent modifications to Indian laws governing travel to remote islands in the Andamans.Visits are now theoretically permitted in several areas of the Andamans where they were previously completely prohibited, while specific approvals are still required. According to a statement from the organisation, “the authorities relaxed one of the limitations that had been guarding the Sentinelese tribe’s island from international tourists, which communicated exactly the wrong message and may have led to this awful occurrence.”

Why Visitors Are Banned

The people of North Sentinel Island have been cut off from the outside world for thousands of years. They hunt the animals that wander the small, densely forested island using spears and bows and arrows. They also collect plants for food and to build their houses. Their nearest neighbour is just 50 km away from them but they never made any attempt to visit them. They are highly sceptical of visitors and will attack anyone who enters their beaches through the waves. Police believe that’s what 33

TRITON IT SOLUTIONS

A Holistic It Consultant For The Business Community

HARI PRASHATH M Co-Founder & CEO

Indranil Roy | Business Connect

he outburst of technological advancements is pushing the business community to excel far beyond the fence. The way it’s advancing – technology rapidity will be not slowing anytime soon; and it’s meant for business to improve. Companies can reach heights and gain a niche competitive advantage by successfully leveraging new technology in line with core operations. It assists a firm in increasing business efficiency, lowering operational costs, optimizing the use of technology, and expanding its business with expertise. While all of this appears to be rather appealing, it is not so simple in reality. Modern technologies are available, but without the necessary skills, incorporating them into company models and growing might be tough. Moreover, with the cut-throat competition between tech magnates, SMEs, etc., it becomes pretty tough to rise above or lead the way without proper tech consulting. This also involves staying updated with demand shifts of clients at all times. TRITON IT Solutions is a specialist in redefining organisational efficiency through technical assistance and consultations. Business Connect recently got the opportunity to interview its CEO Mr. Hari Prashath Manivasagam. In the conversation, Hari discussed his enthusiasm for technology and how he discovered and advanced his career in end-to-end technology consulting. The following story highlights the discourse as a whole. IDEATION, EXECUTION AND GROWTH The bug for an entrepreneurial career was present in Hari since his early days of college. During his Engineering, he led the entrepreneurial Cell Lemon Inc. Here he built the much-required experience needed for his startup innovation. Moving on, he spent two and half years in TCS and worked in different departments. And while it had its perks, it’s not the life he wished for; also, he found a lack of excitement and challenges with the work. He left TCS in 2013 and founded TRITON IT Solutions as a product development company handling recruitment concerns of alumni. His experience and established entrepreneurial network were extremely beneficial to him.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition July 2022 | INDIA

But being bootstrapped, eventually, they faced financial constraints to scale fast, which obstructed them in working freewheelingly. “It was really difficult for us to run the show - develop products, pay salaries to employees, and much more,” says Hari. During this time, a few of Hari’s friends needed tech assistance in building products. This is where ‘The Way’ for TRITON was born. Hari helped his friends succeed, and the Company finally started making money. In a few months, they were overwhelmed by work, which is why they built an ecosystem of talent and tech resources. Focusing on technology-based consultancy, they attracted clients from United States, Germany and other nations. They have a team of 35+ people and have accomplished projects with Govt. Bodies like Chennai Metro Rail Limited, Information & Broadcasting Ministry, Govt of India, etc. Now, TRITON proudly stands as a holistic IT partner for businesses. It ensures clients receive an end-to-end service, from concept to execution to marketing, and then funding.

divulged from its path.TRITON has always believed in ethics and trust. Hari explains that mistake-making in this journey is human, but it is always a learning opportunity too. Each of their assignments is backed by continuous brainstorming with both parties. This further helps them in their day-to-day challenges. For instance, the COVID-19 outbreak pushed them to the edge, and they just moved into an office at that time. However, being analytical about available resources and how to employ them aided in the transition to remote work and growth.

A DEFINED CONSULTANCY LINE Tech consulting is a vast field that assists firms in making the most of technologies and software. This can include design, development, implementation, or managing new technology. TRITON offers consultancy in four categories Technology Solutions, Digital Marketing Solutions, Business Consulting and R&D. The Company has several case studies to explain what makes these solutions unique. It has worked with a Singapore Public Company for its R&D project. It did several trial and error work, which was in relevance to their vision to create something futuristic. Next, it did app development for a healthcare company. The app can upload a series of therapeutic images and analyse them through image processing without manual intervention. Also, it has worked on data science to develop a predictive mechanism for another healthcare firm. The final offering could analyse multiple health reports to identify if the patient is prone to diseases. TRITON has also worked on predictive analysis for a restaurant in Singapore. It’s enabled them a way to analyse and forecast what customers will order.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HARI PRASHATH MANIVASAGAM “Good things happen to those who hustle.” This phrase attests to every persevering innovator. As for Hari, he believes in people’s perseverance. He is a very accommodating leader ‘A People’s Person’. He has a well-balanced personality which has helped him institute a like-minded culture. As the chief of the flock, he is always ready to roll up the sleeves and get his hands dirty, if necessary. Also, he believes in connecting and keeps up with his stakeholders. His wholesome character also has a prominent role TRITON’s culture. His employees enjoy a friendly environment where they have the liberty to discuss ideas, make suggestions and decisions. Moreover, they have the opportunity to learn. Hari loves mentoring and spend an avid time doing so. He says, “I want TRITON to always go above and beyond, but there needs to be a talent pool that believes in it.” With a friendly leader and friendly environment, TRITON has flourished in every aspect.

Maintaining its core vision, TRITON is working on a hybrid model to stay connected and ensure flexibility in functioning. TRITON believed in nurturing talents and empower them.

TRITON is planning to set up TRITON Foundation in 2022, a not for profit organization to help girl children of economically weaker section, First generation graduates and children who have lost both the parents or the breadwinner of the family.

Moving on, it has helped companies in marketing and expanding their outreach. It leverages multiple social channels to promote and create a positive image of a brand or a company. This is very helpful for Startups seeking continuous growth. Lastly, it helps companies in strategizing their business plans. Hari explains this, “We bluntly don’t go with an idea. We partner with our clients, understand their vision and roadmap they wish to follow. In case they don’t have a water-tight plan, we help them create one with a two-year road for their product.” The end-to-end model helps them differentiate themselves in the cut-throat technology arena. TRITON has accomplished projects with revered Tech Magnates, Healthcare Companies & Hospitals, On Demand Services Companies, New age product start-ups, Banking & Fin-tech Companies, Manufacturers, Retail brands and many more.

Goal of the Foundation will be to empower people by giving them the access to right learning materials, right guidance, mentoring and by exposing them to right opportunities at the right time. TRITON helps first generation graduates and economically weaker background students by training them and helping them get placed. While being in such a competitive market, these CSR initiatives also makesTRITONunique in every way.

FACE FINE OR JAIL:

SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAN FROM JULY 1 BANNED ITEMS LIST

Union Environment Ministry officials have said that the ban on select single-use plastic products will come into effect from Friday (July 1, 2022) and state governments will launch an enforcement drive and shut down units engaged in the production, distribution, storage, and sale of such items. Earlier on June 28, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified that the government will ban singleuse plastic items across the country from July 1.

WHAT WILL CHANGE & HOW WILL THE BAN BE ENFORCED FROM JULY 1, 2022?

From July 1, 2022, CPCB and State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) will monitor prohibition. At the national, state, and local levels, orders have been issued to refrain from providing raw materials to businesses dealing in prohibited products.

Here are some of the items that are banned: • Balloon sticks • Cigarette packs • Cutlery items including plates, cups, glasses, forks, spoons, knives, trays – Earbuds • Sweet boxes • Candy and ice cream sticks • Invitation cards • Polystyrene for decoration • PVC banners measuring under 100 microns Union environment minister Bhupinder Yadav said, “We are expecting cooperation from the FMCG industry. The micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which are currently manufacturing singleuse plastics, would be urged to shift to making alternatives. We would run awareness programmes. The government is committed to the initiative and will not take a step back.” Several FMCG firms and restaurants rushed to meet the single-use plastic ban as companies and eateries said they were scrambling to replace plastic spoons, straws, and containers, citing the high cost of alternatives. FMCG companies have claimed that the restriction on single-use plastic will ultimately push up the price of final products.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition July 2022 | INDIA

In addition, commercial licences will be cancelled if it is found that they are selling single-use plastic items. Local authorities have been urged to grant new commercial licences with this restriction. According to the Environment Protection Act of 1986, anyone caught breaking the law faces a fine of up to INR 1 lakh, up to five years in jail, or both. Furthermore, there are municipal laws on plastic waste, which have their own penal codes.

FREE COVID PRECAUTION DOSES FOR 18-59 AGE GROUP Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday (July 13) announced free COVID-19 precaution doses for the age group of 18-59 at government vaccine centers as part of a 75-day special drive starting July 15. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, a free booster dose campaign will be run for the next 75 days under the government’s Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and the prevention of Covid will be promoted. The minister said that this will shield all adults against the virus. “I urge all those eligible to get their precaution dose at the earliest,” the health minister

The government’s plan to provide free COVID-19 precaution doses to all adults over the age of 18 will increase vaccination numbers in India and lead to a healthier nation, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Responding to a query, Mandaviya said people would have to pay if they visit a private facility to get the precaution dose. Noting that some had raised doubts over the efficacy of indigenously developed vaccines, he said a booster dose is needed for everyone, and “no one has to pay for it.” He did not share details on how much the exercise would cost the government. Mandaviya thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this decision.
