Sonia Goenka from MIQS Won Golden Heart at Woman of the Univesre 2024 at Istanbul, Turkey

Returning from the vibrant city of Istanbul where I got a once in a lifetime opportunity to participate in an International beauty contest Woman of Universe 2024, I am filled with unforgettable memories and experiences. Meeting with 60 countries delegates & competing from India was an lifetime achievement, winning Tge prestigious title of Woman of Universe Golden Heart 2024, is an great achievement by winning everyon’s heart, Istanbul, a place where East meets West, offered not only a stunning backdrop for the international pageant but also a rich cultural journey that I will cherish forever. The beauty of Istanbul lies in its contrasts–the ancient and the modern, the traditional and the contemporary. Walking through the bustling streets, I witnessed its incredible history come alive in places like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. These sites reminded me of the power of heritage and how deeply culture shapes who we are.

But more than the sights and food, what I will carry with me are the connections I made with people from all over the world. Istanbul was not just a city; it was a bridge that allowed us to come together, share our stories, and celebrate diversity. The energy of the city inspired me to embrace my role in the pageant fully and give my best. Through this journey, I’ve learned that true beauty comes from strength, compassion, and a sense of purpose. I had the honour of sharing our nation’s unique traditions and stories, but more importantly, I had the privilege of learning from inspiring women from across the globe. Together, we celebrated not just our differences, but our common dreams and challenges as women in today’s world.

This experience has taught me that success isn’t just about winning a title–it & it’s about growth, pushing your boundaries, and proudly carrying the love and support of your country with you. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to represent our country on such a prestigious platform and to have experienced the magic of Istanbul. I can’t wait to share all

that I’ve learned and bring a piece of that cultural richness back home with me.

To the young women of our country, I hope my experience encourages you to chase your dreams fearlessly, knowing that every challenge is a stepping stone toward something greater. No matter where you go, remember that our roots keep us grounded and strong.

Let’s continue striving, together, for a better and brighter tomorrow. I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned and to give back to the community that has given me so much. The future is full of possibilities, and with each of us contributing, we can continue to make our country shine on the world stage.

Thank you Ritika Vinay ma’am my Nation al Director, Ritika Ramtri maam, Rita Gangwani ma’am and the entire Mrs India Queen Of Substance team for your continuous support and love. I am proud to return with my heart full of gratitude and experiences that will last a lifetime.

Rural Spending Rises by 35 per cent, Outperforming Urban and Metro Areas in 2024 Festival Expenditure

Rural Spending Rises by 35 per cent, Outperforming Urban and Metro Areas in 2024 Festival Expenditure

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 23: Rural consumers are significantly shaping the festive spending landscape this year, with a remarkable 35 per cent increase in their spending. This surge underscores the growing purchasing power of rural India, highlighting its vital role in driving overall consumption growth.

The Fast-Evolving Rural Consumer

According to a comprehensive report from InsightCrunch, based on 4500+ in-depth interviews across 16 states, India is witnessing a surge in spending, highlighting growing consumer confidence nationwide. The increases vary across regions: Rural consumers have an average expenditure of Rs. 15,119, reflecting a significant increase of 35% from the last year. In Urban areas, the average spend rises to Rs. 18,317, marking a 30% increase, while Metro residents spend an average of Rs. 21,151, which represents a YoY growth of 33%. Although Metro residents outspend their rural counterparts by approximately 40% more per capita, the faster growth in rural spending indicates a noteworthy shift.

“The rise in rural spending is a testament to the evolving economic landscape in India. The untapped potential in rural markets is being realised this festive season,” says Deekshith Vemuganti, CEO of InsightCrunch.

While average overall spending per capita stands at Rs. 17,654, almost one-third of the population will be spending under Rs 5000, and another one third between Rs. 5000 and Rs. 15000. Overall, the spending shows an uptick of 32% from the previous year.

How are they funding it?

Fueled by confidence in the Indian economy, 65% of consumers are happy to tap into their savings to amp up the festival fun. Middle-income households, under spending pressure and limited funding options, are 3 times more likely than lower-income groups to rely on bank loans for festival expenses.

“This data provides valuable insights for financial institutions, retailers, and FMCG companies to tailor their festival season offerings and marketing strategies, particularly focusing on middle-income consumers who show a higher propensity for credit-based spending.,” adds Sudhanshu Gupta, VP of InsightCrunch.

Random Beats Selected as Official Entry to the Goa Short Film Festival

Random Beats Selected as Official Entry to the Goa Short Film Festival

GURUGRAM – Manoj Madhusudanan’ s debut short film ‘Random Beats’ has been honoured as an official entry for the upcoming 11th Goa Short Film Festival 2024. With this, Random Beats has made it to 13 prestigious national and international film festivals, and have won accolades at six of them. The film has been received well at International Film Festival of Shimla, Atlanta Indian Film Festival, India International Film Festival of Boston, 7th South Asian Film Festival, to name a few.

Written, produced and directed by Manoj, Random Beats is a story of how digital communication can impact relationships in today’s world. Manoj says, “It’s a world where we probably communicate more through digital channels than in person, and this opens up numerous possibilities of friction and miscommunication. A real life incident that someone narrated to me was the inspiration for me to write and direct this short film. I wanted to tell this story because I felt it was simple yet profoundly thought provoking.”

Manoj Madhusudanan is an India-based corporate leader with over 25 years of experience in data analytics, consulting and AI, for whom films have been a passion since childhood. A Mechanical Engineer from IIT Madras and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur, Manoj was inspired since his younger days by the works of Ingmar Bergman, Steven Spielberg, Majid Majidi, Werner Herzog, Satyajit Ray and Adoor Gopalakrishnan, to name a few. His penchant to learn film making alongside his corporate career led him to complete three film certifications from Raindance Film School, London in 2015-2016. After dabbling with a few amateur experiments, Random Beats is the first professionally made work from Manoj.

Manoj adds, “To tell such a story without distractions, I chose to use a linear structure, a contemporary pastel palette and minimalistic use of background score. It’s really heartening to see the reception and the accolades our little film is receiving at international film festivals, and we are excited that we are an official entry at Goa Short Film Festival 2024.”

Random Beats will be screened at Goa Short Film Festival, to be held on October 26 and 27 in Goa, India.

Pre-Launch Spotlight: Unveiling the Future of Business Process Excellence with AI

Pre-Launch Spotlight: Unveiling the Future of Business Process Excellence with AI

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are constantly seeking ways to optimize efficiency, enhance decision-making, and stay competitive. At the heart of this transformation lies the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into business processes—an innovation that promises to reshape industries. In a highly anticipated upcoming release, “Business Yoga with AI: Ascend to excellence by transforming innovative ideas into sustainable business solutions through the strategic application of artificial intelligence”, this groundbreaking book explores how AI is not just a tool but a strategic enabler for achieving operational excellence.

The Promise of AI in Business Process Excellence:

At its core, Business Process Excellence (BPE) is about streamlining and improving processes to create value, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction. Traditionally, BPE relied on methodologies like Six Sigma, Lean, and Total Quality Management (TQM) to drive incremental improvements. However, the advent of AI offers an entirely new frontier. It allows businesses to go beyond gradual change, enabling real-time optimization, predictive analytics, and even autonomous decision-making.

This book highlights how AI’s capabilities—from machine learning and natural language processing to robotic process automation (RPA)—can be harnessed to enhance business processes. It showcases real-world examples of companies that have used AI to automate repetitive tasks, predict customer behaviors, and uncover insights buried deep within large datasets.

What to Expect from the Book

“Business Yoga with AI” is not just another tech-centric book; it is a comprehensive guide that connects theory with practice. Geared towards both business leaders and tech enthusiasts, the book addresses key topics such as:

  • Business Process Excellence with Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen / Continuous Improvements, Business Process Engineering (BPR), TQM, Design Thinking, Hoshin Kanri, Balanced Scorecard etc.
  • Understanding AI’s Role in Process Automation: How AI tools can automate mundane tasks, freeing up human resources to focus on more strategic activities.
  • Leveraging AI for Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics: How businesses can use AI to not only predict future trends but also recommend actions based on those predictions.
  • AI-Driven Decision Making: How organizations are integrating AI into their decision-making processes to improve accuracy and speed.
  • Overcoming the Challenges of AI Adoption: A practical guide to navigating the complexities and potential pitfalls of integrating AI into existing business systems.

By blending academic insights with practical case studies, the book provides a roadmap for organizations looking to scale AI-driven process improvements. Each chapter dives into a different aspect of AI’s impact on business processes, offering readers a 360-degree view of what it takes to achieve true business process excellence in the digital age.

A New Era of Efficiency and Innovation

The pre-launch of “Business Yoga with AI” comes at a time when the demand for AI integration is at an all-time high. Businesses across sectors—from finance and healthcare to manufacturing and retail—are recognizing the need to leverage AI not just for efficiency, but for innovation. As digital transformation accelerates, the ability to adapt and implement AI-driven processes will separate the leaders from the laggards.

This book promises to be an essential resource for College graduates, business executives, operations managers, and technology leaders who are grappling with how to make AI a core part of their strategy. It outlines the steps needed to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement, powered by AI, that will sustain long-term growth and competitiveness.

Pre-Launch Buzz: What the Experts Are Saying

Even before its official release, “Business Process Excellence and AI” is already generating buzz in the industry. Thought leaders are praising the book for its forward-thinking approach and practical insights.

Conclusion

As businesses prepare to face the challenges and opportunities of a new digital era, “Business Yoga with AI” will serve as an indispensable guide for those looking to lead the charge. By demystifying AI and offering clear strategies for implementation, this book is poised to become a definitive resource for those aiming to revolutionize their operations.

Mark your calendars—the official release is just around the corner, and with it comes a transformative perspective on how AI can be the key to unlocking business process excellence.

Stargazing to Star building: The man who is leading the worlds largest scientific endeavour of the 21st century in Astronomy.

Stargazing to Star building: The man who is leading the worlds largest scientific endeavour of the 21st century in Astronomy.

In an exclusive interview that feels more like a journey through time and space, we uncover the story of Kaushik Bose, the man at the helm of constructing the mega science project – Square Kilometre Array Observatory Telescope (SKAO LOW) in outback of Australian Desert. From his early days in Ranchi, India, surrounded by the whispers of nature and the stories of the cosmos, Bose has charted a path that few dare to dream.

Bose’s fascination with the universe began in the sprawling gardens of his childhood home, under the expansive Indian sky. “My mother introduced me to the stars,” he shares, reflecting on the evenings spent tracing constellations. It’s this celestial curiosity that propelled him from dreaming of moon colonies to leading the construction of the SKAO, an international endeavour set to redefine our understanding of the universe. Bose has been an international advisor to several governments across world in delivering critical facilities. “Building difficult things in unusual places on Earth”, has pretty much been my passion” he mentioned.

India’s Stellar Role

The SKAO, an unprecedented global collaboration, aims to build the world’s largest radio telescope. With India’s recent entry into the project, Bose feels a profound connection to the mission. “India’s dedication to astronomical research is crucial for the SKAO,” he states, highlighting the country’s pivotal role in the project’s software and planning phases & its integration to the supercomputing technology which the project will use.  Amongst some recent involvement, India successfully completed delivery of 350,000 meters of high voltage cables for the telescope construction.

(High Voltage cables from India which will power up the SKAO LOW Telescope- Pictures from MRO site, with Kaushik)

Unravelling Cosmic Mysteries

What excites Bose the most about the SKAO’s potential is the quest to answer age-old questions about our universe. “We’re on the brink of potentially detecting signals from distant civilizations,” he marvels, contemplating the impact of such discoveries on our understanding of existence. It’s a testament to human curiosity and the unyielding desire to explore the unknown.

A Monumental Endeavor

Describing the SKAO’s scale, Bose draws an awe-inspiring picture: “Imagine fitting over 200 Eden Gardens within our project’s expanse.” The project’s infrastructure, sprawling across vast deserts, is a beacon of human ambition and ingenuity. The network of cables alone could circle the Earth multiple times, a physical manifestation of the project’s global reach and its boundless aspirations.

Challenges of Cosmic Proportions

Constructing in the Murchison desert’s radio-quiet zone comes with its unique set of challenges, from stringent electromagnetic compliance to the logistical hurdles of coordinating a global team. But for Bose, who has built infrastructure in some of the world’s most remote locales, these challenges are just another puzzle to solve on the path to unlocking the universe’s secrets.

A Heart Anchored in India

Despite his global journey, Bose’s heart remains firmly rooted in India. “The connection to my homeland remains strong,” he asserts, expressing a desire to contribute to India’s burgeoning scientific landscape. His work, though spanning continents, always circles back to the serene landscapes of his birthplace.

Inspiring Future Generations

Bose’s message to the youth is clear: let curiosity lead the way. His transition from an architect of buildings to an architect of the stars is a narrative of passion and perseverance. “The future belongs to those bold enough to chase their dreams,” he encourages, envisioning a world where the next generation reaches even further into the cosmos.

A New Perspective on Our Place in the Universe

In contemplating the current era, Bose sees a parallel with historical moments of great innovation. Exploring space, he believes, offers new solutions and insights, potentially addressing some of our most pressing challenges. It’s a perspective that reiterates the importance of looking beyond our immediate surroundings, towards the vastness of space, for answers.

As we wrapped up our conversation, it was clear that Kaushik Bose is not just building the world’s most advanced radio telescope; he’s laying the foundation for a future where the mysteries of the universe are within our grasp. The story of Kaushik stands out as one of the many bright talents India is putting up on the global stage.
