RBI allows NBFCs to apply for KUA | Views from Fintechs Tide and Signzy

 Following the RBI’s announcement, which allows NBFCs, Payment System Providers and Payment System Participants to apply for KYC User Agency or sub KUA license and offer eKYC services to customers, Fintechs and startups are welcoming the new regulation. Please find below view of UK & India’s largest banking workflow automation firm Tide and India’s leading AI powered eKYC startup Signzy on this development –

Gurjodhpal Singh, CEO, Tide (India), said "RBI's recent decision to allow NBFCs, Payment System Providers and Payment System Participants to use for eKYC for onboarding customers is a welcome move for the Fintech ecosystem. This will promote digitisation, resulting in a forward thinking approach to ensure fast delivery of financial products in the sector and thus improve experience for many customers who had been facing a lot of issues. This is one of the most positives moves for players in the ecosystem, and will help make the onboarding journey less bumpy for customers."

Arpit Ratan, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, Signzy, said “A truly democratic move to power NBFCs, payment system providers and participants to make the digital journey of customers faster, simpler and secure. Over the last two years RBI’s has been working to create a more enabling and compliant digital ecosystem that helps non-bank entities play a more participatory role in digitisation of financial services. Apart from payments, customers are increasingly preferring smartphones to access several other financial services like insurance, lending, business banking, payroll, alternate investments and this requires fast tracking of onboarding processes to improve customer experience and increase access. Given that RBI has lately been warning of frauds owing to improper KYC processes, providing a KUA license will definitely stem such activities and increase customers’ trust in non-banking entities which are working hard towards offering affordable and accessible financial services on the go.”

TiE Food Network conducted one-of-a-kind Sensory workshop on all about food; Living the life of a Sommelier

Flavoring Workshop conducted in association with TagTaste

Mumbai, July 24, 2021: TiE Mumbai recently conducted a unique, entertaining and educative Sensory workshop for its members on the Concepts of Sensory Evaluation and Live food Tasting. Taste is oral, while flavor is multi-sensory, this 3-hour session focused on the appreciation and recognition of food with regards to its appearance, aroma, texture, taste and sound. 

“As children, we learn the names of all sorts of shapes, colors, and sounds. But when it comes to the way things smell or taste, the only language we ever hear is qualitative — good and bad, yummy and yucky, delicious and disgusting. Once you start trying, you notice how difficult it is to assign language to taste and smell; training is a prerequisite. Our services were so far limited to food companies and restaurants; we are pleased to be extending our services to consumers and are making our debut with the TiE Mumbai community.” said Jaspal Sabharwal, Co-founder & CEO, TagTaste.

“I think the last decade has seen new age food companies concentrating on tech enablers in the food business rather than the food itself and thus we've seen some great brands giving food with above average taste. The difference between great and good food businesses is going to be great scalable GLOCAL products coupled with robust marketing and tight operations. For the foodpreneurs, the FLAVORing workshop could be a good starting point to a multi-sensory food journey that they should take their consumers through.” said Sanket S, Chief Collaborator-Wolume up and Lead, TiE Food Network. 

“This workshop lends well into our capacity building agenda for the ecosystem. This flavor workshop by TagTaste is a small step into equipping and making future Food Entrepreneurs who can go on to build great businesses and thereby a robust Industry. TiE Mumbai constantly endeavors to bring innovative sessions to add value and create a unique experience for its members”. said Naveen Raju, Executive Director, TiE Mumbai.

The Workshop aimed to help in rediscovering our senses and finding the connection and reasons behind why we like or dislike certain things. It also enabled participants to Learn the language of describing food. (A little more than just good, bad, tasty, yucky.) and appreciating food that we eat, hence moving towards mindful eating. It also helped augment appreciation and consciousness of our taste buds and the fact that each one has been blessed with some unique genes that helps one experience food the way we do. It also taught participants a Smarter way to eat.

The workshop also gave a peek into the 6th taste recently discovered - KOKUMI. No tastings notes were taken on the paper, instead, a structured questionnaire based on the concepts learned were accessed on the TagTaste app. Tasters answered the questionnaire on the app and the data thus collected from all the tasters instantly formed a sensogram. The workshop ended with a detailed discussion on Sensogram for the product tasted. Participants received a certificate on completion of the workshop. Most ingredients for this workshop were easily available at home making it an enjoyable activity for the entire family.

Häfele India’s long-standing endeavour to uplift women

 Mumbai - 7 March 2021 - Häfele India’s long-standing endeavour to uplift women in different strata of the society and bring gender equality sees light via the IWD (International Women’s Day) football tournament organized predominantly for the underprivileged 

To encourage women empowerment through sports, Häfele India, together with IWFA (Indian Women’s Football Alliance), sponsored a one-day long football tournament entirely organized by and for women. The tournament held on 6th March at St. Joseph Ground, Mumbai, saw a fierce competition among ten teams comprising of girls aged between 16 and 32 from underprivileged backgrounds brought together by different NGOs. Each team played for a specific cause such as ‘Education sets me free’, ‘Dowry kills dignity’, ‘A blessing called Beti’ and so on and had a renowned face as their team mentor along with support-mentors to uplift their spirits during the day. The team mentors included Kunal Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Rahul Bose, Nandita Shah, Adhuna Bhabani, Bhairavi Jaikishan, Ankit Tanna, Richa Bahl, Nitasha Gaurav, Chef Sarita Pareira, and Nishrin Parikh. Kunal Kapoor, supporting the ‘Slum Soccer’ team said, “Through this team, we are supporting the 'Silence Fuels Violence' cause and truly hope that this initiative brings awareness on speaking up for any wrongdoing against women in the society.” Rahul Bose, cheering for Akshara Superstars, said, “I am so happy to hear that the Indian Women’s Football Alliance (IWFA) kicked-off their first competition called ‘Girls Love Goals’ - what a fantastic name! The ten girls’ teams pitted against one another each playing for a specific cause is a brilliant way to spread awareness.”

 

As a homage to Women’s Day, the tournament was created entirely for women by women sporting female coaches, referees, lineswomen, nutritionists, as well as therapists. The IWFA Girls Love Goals Cup is a tribute to sportswomen across India, who have used their grit, determination, blood and sweat to get where they have reached today. It is also a shoutout to girls across the country to stand by their goals in the face of gender, race, colour, or any such discrimination. The winning team gets a cash prize, proceeds of which are given to select NGOs that use football as a medium of social change for women across India. “I think we're just at the tip of the iceberg and we really need to create a mountain of hope, a mountain of success and victory for these girls so that the future is bright for our kids for their kids, especially women who are always side-lined with sport that are predominantly male centric. The most important thing is to break stereotypes that only certain kind of women can play sports or that women don't like to play sports or that people don’t like watching women play sports. The mindset needs to change, once that happens, the rest will follow,” concluded Tusshar Kapoor, summing up the spirit of the initiative. 

Häfele believes that all individuals are responsible for their own thoughts and actions, all day every day, irrelevant to the gender. Sanjay Swami, Head of Marketing, Hafele India Pvt. Ltd. says, "You will notice that we as an organization challenge encourage and uplift our women colleagues constantly. Being a patron for promoting women football for the past three years in India, Häfele has extended its support to IWFA Girls Love Goals football tournament to celebrate the International women’s day this year. Our Theme, “Equality has no Gender” also promotes our beliefs."A number of Häfele India’s previous initiatives such as Supermom – a cooking competition for women across the country along with the International Celebrity Chef Sashi Cheliah; or the mentoring of aspiring female footballers from Manipur at the hands of the FCB Munich Legends Klaus Augenthaler (Auge) & Bixente Lizarazu, have been aimed towards creating a larger impact for the women community across the country. Moreover, their next event scheduled in Imphal, Manipur, will be another football tournament primarily for the North East states offering girls out there a platform to display their skills, plan a future in sports, and be able to bring about a larger social change. Häfele’s aim is to work at the grass root level to support this cause and give the best exposure to these budding women footballers so that they are ably trained to be able to represent India at an International level.

एशियन पेंट्स ने अपनी शोकेस वेब-सीरीज ‘व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़’ के साथ की वापसी

सीजन 4 खासतौर पर परिवार और रिश्‍तों पर केन्द्रित है, जैसा कि सेलीब्रिटीज के घरों के जरिये दिखाया गया है

राष्‍ट्रीय, 4 मार्च, 2021- लॉकडाउन के बाद से घर की परिभाषा और अपने प्रियजनों के साथ समय बिताने का अर्थ नाटकीय रूप से बदला है। हम तो यह बदलाव देख रहे हैं, लेकिन क्‍या हमारे द्वारा फॉलो किये जाने वाले सेलीब्रिटीज भी ऐसा ही सोचते हैं? हम यही देखने के लिये निकले हैं कि इस नई दुनिया में उनके लिये घर का मतलब क्‍या है, क्‍योंकि एशियन पेंट्स की सबसे ज्‍यादा प्रतीक्षित और पसंद की जाने वाली ओरिजिनल वेब सीरीज ‘व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़’ सीजन 4 के साथ लौट रही है।

बहुत प्‍यार पाने वाले सात सेलीब्रिटीज के सात अनोखे ढंग से खूबसूरत घरों का एक एक्‍सक्‍लूसिव टूर हमें याद दिलाएगा कि हमारे घर हमारे पवित्र स्‍थान क्‍यों हैं। सेलीब्रिटी के निजी जीवन और सजावट की प्रेरणा पर जानकारी के साथ यह वेब-सीरीज रिश्‍तों का अर्थ जानेगी और यह कि क्‍या चीज घर को सचमुच घर बनाती है। पहला एपिसोड 5 मार्च को लाइव होगा, जिसमें जाने-माने संगीतकार और कम्‍पोजर शंकर महादेवन होंगे।

‘व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़’ की विरासत इस सच्‍चाई में निहित है कि इस शो ने हमेशा से दर्शक को खोज का बोध दिया है। चाहे एक साधारण रंगीन दीवार हो, अनूठे कलेक्टिबल्‍स या सजावट के एलीमेंट्स, इस शो ने देश में घरों की व्‍यापक किस्‍मों को जीवंत किया है और इस स्‍पेस में देखने लायक एक सच्‍चा मापदंड स्‍थापित किया है। इस शो और उपभोक्‍ताओं के बीच मजबूत जुड़ाव है, क्‍योंकि एशियन पेंट्स ने पिछले तीन वर्षों में 22 घर और 27 सेलीब्रिटीज दिखाए हैं और 250 मिलियन से ज्‍यादा व्‍यूज पाए हैं। हर सीजन में एशियन पेंट्स विभिन्‍न क्षेत्रों के विख्‍यात व्‍यक्तित्‍वों को आगे लाता है, जिनकी अपनी खासियत है और अपने घरों के साथ अलग लगाव भी। और हर एपिसोड के साथ दर्शक देखते हैं कि वह व्‍यक्तित्‍व असल में किसके लिये है और वे अपने रिश्‍तों में सजावट को कैसे शामिल करते हैं।

इस साल अनीता डोंगरे, स्‍मृति मंडाना, शंकर महादेवन, तमन्‍ना भाटिया, राजकुमार राव, प्रतीक कुहाद, शक्ति मोहन और मुक्ति मोहन जैसे सेलीब्रिटीज दर्शकों के लिये अपने दरवाजे खोलेंगे और यह झलक दिखाएंगे कि वे पर्दे के पीछे और मैदान से बाहर क्‍या हैं।

सीजन 4 इस शो में कुछ नये एलीमेंट्स जोड़ेगा। यह सीजन दर्शकों को सेलीब्रिटीज की सजावट और उनके घरों की ज्‍यादा भव्‍य कहानियां दिखाएगा। जगह को प्राथमिकता देने की अप्रोच के साथ दर्शक अपने चहेते सितारे के घर के ज्‍यादा हिस्‍सों को देखेंगे: चाहे सजावट पर भरोसा जताने वाला कोई बोल्‍ड बदलाव हो या कोई छोटी पसंद, नये सीजन का लक्ष्‍य सेलीब्रिटी के घर की उन असली, रहने योग्‍य और सुखद जगहों पर जाना है, जो वास्‍तव में उनकी हैं, ऐसी जगह, जो उनसे मेल खाती है और उन्‍हें प्रतिबिम्बित करती है। इसके अलावा, दर्शक लॉकडाउन के दौरान के सेलीब्रिटी के अनुभवों और पलों को देखेंगे, परिवार, एकजुटता को लेकर उनका कॉन्‍सेप्‍ट समझेंगे और यह कि इस नई दुनिया में उनके लिये घर का अर्थ क्‍या है। यह शो रिश्‍तों की खूबसूरती पर भी जाएगा और बताएगा कि घर के लिये साझा प्‍यार उसे कैसे मजबूत करता है। सेलीब्रिटी से घर को सजाने के कुछ जुनूनी आइडियाज और टिप्‍स मिलने की उम्‍मीद भी की जा सकती है।

सीजन 4 सेलीब्रिटीज के उत्‍साही फैन्‍स के लिये एक नया और रोमांचक एलीमेंट भी लाया है, जिसमें हर एपिसोड में एक भाग्‍यशाली विजेता को अपने सेलीब्रिटी से कोई खास चीज मिलेगी।

इस शो के बारे में एशियन पेंट्स लिमिटेड के एमडी और सीईओ अमित सिंगले ने कहा, ‘’हम बहुत पसंद की गई सीरीज व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़ का सीजन 4 अपने उपभोक्‍ताओं के लिये लॉन्‍च करके खुश हैं। इस सीरीज ने दर्शकों को अपनी चहेती शख्सियत के व्‍यक्तित्‍व को देखने का मौका दिया है और ऐसा मंच बनी है, जिसने उपभोक्‍ताओं को प्रेरित किया है और दर्शकों के मन में सुंदर घरों को डिजाइन करने और अपने रहने की जगह को ज्‍यादा पसंद करने की आकांक्षा जगाई है; ऐसा कुछ खूबसूरत घरों और भारत की सबसे चहेती हस्तियों में से कुछ की कहानियों के जरिये किया गया है। एशियन पेंट्स में हमारा मानना है कि मकान व्‍यक्ति का चरित्र व्‍यक्‍त करता है, इसलिये इस शो का मूड, स्‍टाइल और भागीदारी दर्शक को एहसास देती है कि अपनी करीबी हर जगह को डिजाइन करने के लिये कितना प्‍यार और मेहनत चाहिये। इस शो में इंटीरियर डिजाइन के लिये जानकारी वाले टिप्‍स भी होते हैं, ताकि दर्शकों को अपनी जगहें खूबसूरत बनाने में मदद मिले। इस प्रकार घर का महत्‍व मजबूत होकर उभरता है।‘’

देश में लॉकडाउन हटने के बाद इस शो की प्‍लानिंग और शूटिंग हुई थी। सीरीज के क्रियेटर और स्‍टोरीज इन मोशन के सीईओ जोशुआ कार्तिक ने कहा, ‘’एशियन पेंट्स और हमारे लिये हर कदम पर अपने सेलीब्रिटी मेजबानों और अपनी टीमों की सुरक्षा सबसे अधिक महत्‍वपूर्ण थी। मास्‍क के लिये कठोर प्रोटोकॉल और सामान तथा उपकरणों के सैनिटाइजेशन से लेकर क्रू साइज़ पर बाध्‍यता और शूटिंग से पहले अनिवार्य टेस्टिंग तक, यह सुनिश्चित करने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी गई थी कि हमारे मेजबानों के घरों में हमारा दौरा सावधानीपूर्वक हो। यह एक चुनौती थी, लेकिन कला को बाधाएं पसंद हैं और हमने इस साल व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़ सीजन 4 के माध्‍यम से और भी बेहतर कहानियां प्रस्‍तुत की हैं।‘’

तो एशियन पेंट्स व्‍हेयर द हार्ट इज़ सीजन 4 देखिये और उस अचंभे की खुशी मनाइये, जो हमारे दैनिक जीवन में होता है।
