Pune, 22th May, 2019: Vmoot, a Pune based startup has recently launched India’s first debating and polling platform. Started with an aim to help the common man raise their voice, the Questions and Opinion (Q&O) platform can be used to post questions, either in the form of a debate or as an interactive poll. Users can discuss issues related to politics, city & local affairs, sports, entertainment, etc. with people who have similar interests and arrive at a particular opinion based on the discussion.

                                 

The startup connects users with common areas of interests indirectly providing a close-knit platform and prompt opinions globally. Users can also invite friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter to participate.

Commenting on the launch, Kunal Shelar, Founder & CEO, Vmoot says, “We came up with the idea of conceptualizing the brand after observing over the years, that the layout & functionality of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Quora, etc. don’t support debating. Furthermore, users on these platforms give opinions but the opinion doesn’t help in bringing the change. Majority of social media posts create miscommunication related to facts due to incorrect information"

He further adds, “To solve this issue, we have launched a platform where users will be able to see other people’s opinions in one glance, contradict or support their view, get valuable feedback & suggestions and create a final opinion basis major common consensus.”

Unique features have been incorporated in the app to make the platform interactive yet to the point. Voice notes allow users to post their opinions and questions by recording their voice rather than typing hence giving a personal touch and participation of all kinds of users. Users can create new topics if they are not available and start debating on those topics. The platform frequently monitors Opinions and Questions, hence if there is any abusive content or an opinion that’s not related to the debate, it can be reported.

Vmoot also supports private and anonymous debating which can help private and public organizations get honest and valuable feedback. The results of the discussions in the form of debate or poll can be shared by tagging the concerned authorities in Social Media posts or on their Social Media Pages/handle.

Covestro, one of the world’s leading polymer providers, announced today the completion of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) capacity expansion at its Changhua manufacturing site in Taiwan. This comes after the successful expansion in New Martinsville in the US and the takeover of the majority of the Japan Joint Venture, all happening within 12 months. With the expansion, the site’s production capacity increased by 30%, an important step to benefit from the growing demands in the APAC region. TPU is a highly versatile elastomer that offers both superior performance as well as flexibility. It has various applications from footwear, automotive all the way to IT. Changhua site’s proximity to ASEAN is also an advantage as it gives Covestro the upper hand, especially in industries such as footwear.

The global TPU market is expected to grow at 6% in the forecast period 2017 to 2022, and the majority of such growth will come from the APAC region. “One of our strategies is to participate in this growth with our capacity expansion,” said Dr. Stephan Ehlers, Head of TPU Production & Technology. “It will allow us to better serve our customers, meet the rising market demands and also sustain our strong presence in the APAC region.”

“The Changhua site is Covestro’s largest TPU production site in Asia, supported by Covestro’s APAC TPU Research and Development Center,” said Dr. Thomas Roemer, Global Head of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes. “With the capacity expansion, we will cater to the market’s needs in APAC with diverse and innovative products, such as bio-based TPU.”

Excellent properties for different product variants

TPU has several outstanding properties, including light weight, comfortability, high abrasion resistance, high shear strength, high elasticity, recyclability and resistance to oil and grease. These qualities therefore make it a sensible and appealing replacement for certain material solutions, which in turn further boosts its market demand.

For instance, in the footwear sector, TPU can be used for several parts, such as uppers, shanks, insole, midsole, outsole, heel cups as well as logo on shoes. Knitting technology is increasingly being adapted for the uppers on sports shoes – a single knitting process allows a stylish design while saving material use  per pair of shoes. To catch up with this trend, Covestro has taken a further step forward to develop this unique, innovative TPU fiber that can be seamlessly integrated into the state-of-the-art knitting technology for footwear applications.

Covestro has had roots in Taiwan for decades and serves as one of the most important innovation partners for the IT and shoe industries. Meanwhile, with more and more footwear supply chains moving to ASEAN, Taiwan now has the advantage of being close to these nations. “We look forward to best utilising and showcasing Taiwan’s innovation potential to further create synergy and in return, create product that push the boundaries of technology,” said Michael Lee, Managing Director of Covestro Taiwan.

Digital Sports Gambling has become a major addiction amongst Indians & is the biggest source of ruining and destroying the Indian economy. In the past few years, India has lost a whopping amount of over Rs 15000 crores which is a huge economic loss for India. Our country is already struggling against black money & money laundering, hence stopping digital sports gambling should be our government’s top priority.

The big names that have floated illegal betting portals & are operating this illegal business are Chander also known as Shankar Jalandar, Hamanth Sood and Sid Ad, these 3 are the main persons who have ruined India through different software and digital gambling tactics and running illegal gambling portals. Insider's inform that they are further engaged in cheating also such as fixing cricket games through underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's connections  like Noman, Dileep, Javaid Chotani. They also fix soccer and tennis matches through their mafia connections in UK & Russia.

Surprisingly another big player of digital gambling Mr Lal Chand, originally a Pakistani resident but has shifted base to Europe since few years....Lal Chand has recently entered into the Wellbeing industry, he has recently launched LC Well in Dubai & And sources inform that Lal chand has sold his sports gambling portal business to another giant named AB group which is spearheaded by Junior kalkata [Suren Bagri], JK Ahmedabad , Karan Munir and Girish. These 4 are partners in AB GROUP & now AB group is extremely active in digital gambling. Mr Lal Chand has taken an exit from the gambling business totally .

Besides, many other ill legal gambling websites are being operated like Sodi’s Gamex, Harry’s Sky Exchange, Rakesh Rajkot’s Diamond Exchange etc etc all of them are collectively ruining India and its economy. Govt Officials & Cyber Crime Teams take strict action and block these gambling portals with no further delay. A serous crack down is the need of the hour.

Dataction Analytics, a Pune based niche Procurement Analytics Company and TUI, the largest Leisure, Travel, and Tourism Company in the world won the coveted “Innovation of the Year” at the Global Sourcing Awards 2018. The Global Sourcing Association (GSA) formally announced the winners of the first Global Sourcing Awards at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in South Africa, bringing together 400+ global industry leaders, representing C-suite buyers, leading outsourcing service providers, advisors and more.

This award is a reflection of Dataction’s continuous endeavor of delivering the best services to its clients and incorporating innovation in its strategic planning.  Dataction and TUI competed with others in the category and emerged as the winner by ideating to co-develop a unique and pioneering spend visibility solution. It uses a new combination of accessible low-cost cloud technologies, Pune based analyst resources for manual classification, and creative proprietary processes to deliver enhanced spend data against TUI’s overheads budgets.

“The first phase of the solution was successfully delivered by a multi-national team in just four months, covering over 70% of TUI’s indirect spend. This enables management reporting and opportunity analysis in areas such as IT and Marketing. The aim is to have the platform covering over 90% of TUI’s indirect spend” said Paul Harlington, TUI Group Procurement Director.

Mr. Harlington further added, “The Spend Visibility platform collaboration was one of the most rewarding sourcing projects I have ever undertaken. The collaboration with Dataction Analytics turned around a situation from an unfeasible project with external partners to one that surpassed expectations and delivered faster (and cheaper) than expected, delighting TUI executives in the process. A truly innovative outcome for a successful partnership.”

Dataction adopted a bold and agile approach which a larger company might struggle to think of – the solution comprised of a new combination of technology (unused in this context before), adopting cloud hosting early in TUI, and a service model that is truly creative. It challenges leading market offerings with an alternative, lower cost/higher value-add solution.

Commenting on the success, Mr. Saurabh Limaye, CEO, Dataction Analytics said, “TUI has always been Dataction’s most open-minded and collaborative customer. However, the joint delivery of a unique spend solution has taken this collaboration to the next level – a perfect example demonstrating how out of the box thinking and trusting a supplier as an extended arm of your own team can deliver amazing results. This is by far the most exciting and enriching innovation project that I have been involved in.”

The GSA Global Sourcing Awards recognise organisations that constantly deliver results in the outsourcing industry, despite the unprecedented disruption at a global level.
