April 13 2023  Dates are the fruit of the date palm trees. Grown in many tropical regions around the world, dates are majorly consumed as a staple in the Islamic community. As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims around the world have started to prepare for a time of spiritual reflection and prayer. During this month, they fast all day long and while breaking that fast during Iftar, the 1st bite consists of dates as it holds a cultural and a religious importance for them.

Apart from having a religious and cultural value the reason dates are eaten during Ramadan is because of their multiple health benefits. In this article, we will explore the same and why they are perfectly suitable in your diet during Ramadan.

The Health Benefits of Dates-
Dates are an abundant source of energy. They are rich in fiber and essential vitamins and minerals. Here are a few benefits you must know

A house of nutrients- Dates have an excellent nutrition profile. Rich in essential nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, and iron. Just a single date contains about 15% of the daily recommended intake of potassium, which is essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure, preventing heart disease and maintaining your bone strength.

Promotes Digestive Health: Dates are rich in fiber. This helps maintain your digestive health. Fiber helps keep the body’s digestive system running smoothly, preventing constipation and other digestive problems.

Boosts Energy Levels: Dates are high in natural sugars which include glucose, fructose, and sucrose. These sugars give you an instant boost of energy, thus, making dates an excellent snack to consume during Suhoor and Iftar.

Road to a healthy Heart: Rich in antioxidants and potassium, consumption of dates reduces inflammation and prevents the collection of plaque in the brain. This eventually regulates blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart problems.

Aids in Weight Management: Low in calories and fats, naturally sweet and rich in fiber, dates can be sometimes used as an alternative to sugar while baking and cooking. The high fiber content keeps you full for a longer period of time. Thus, dates are the best snacking option as well for those aiming for weight loss.

When it comes to buying dates during Ramadan, there is no better choice than APIS. A leading brand in the world of dates, Apis offers a wide range of high-quality dates that are perfect to eat at Sehri to start the day and be energized till Iftar.

The range includes Arabian Pearls Dates (Fard), Ajwa Dates, Khudary Dates, Select Dates, and Royal Zahidi Dates and a lot more.

These quality dates are handpicked, sorted, and packed with the best techniques and hygiene to ensure that only the best quality dates reach the consumers.

One of the reasons why APIS Dates are perfect during Ramadan is because of their fine quality. Better than any other dates in the market, these are a rich source of energy. This quality benefits specially during the day when you are fasting and your energy levels are low. These dates are also a good source of fiber which keep you full and satisfied throughout the day.

In addition to their nutritional value, APIS Dates are good in taste. They have a sweet and rich flavor that makes them a popular choice for snacking as well.

Delhi, 13th April 2023: Oneistox, a homegrown ed-tech startup transforming the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, announced that it had raised $1.2 million in seed funding from Y Combinator, Powerhouse Ventures and Soma Capital with participation from notable angels like Amit Ranjan, co-founder of Slideshare, Deepak Menon, VP-Microsoft among others. With the vision to disrupt the AEC industry and enable better opportunities for AEC professionals, Harkunwar Singh along with his co-founders Vipanchi Handa, Mehul Kumar, and Chaithanya Murali launched the ed-tech platform, Oneistox, in 2021. The platform offers a range of courses and upskilling programs tailor-made for AEC professionals to help them build industry-relevant new-age skills and stay ahead of the curve.

The AEC industry makes up 12% of the world’s GDP. Yet it is the second least digitized industry in the world after agriculture. Due to the lack of technological development, the AEC space worldwide looks exactly as it did 20 years ago. Oneistox came into existence to enable working professionals with tech-first skills and maximize their potential. The startup aims to bridge the gap between traditional AEC education and the fast-evolving technological landscape, empowering learners to become future-ready professionals. With its seed funding round, the startup has been able to achieve 30% month-on-month growth in the last 12 months whilst doubling down on its platform infrastructure, developing more new-age courses for learners, and expanding its team.

Harkunwar Singh, Co-founder, of Oneistox said, “The AEC industry is ripe for disruption, and Oneistox aims at leading the charge with cutting-edge upskilling courses. We are thrilled to have amassed the support of such an eminent investors panel over the last year. Our goal is to ensure that the next generation of AEC talent is armored with future-ready skills to meet the ever-evolving demands of this industry.”

Gustaf Alstromer, Group Partner at YCombinator quoted, “The AEC industry needs what Oneistox is building. I’m proud to be an investor in the company and look forward to the disruptions they bring in the industry.”

“Over the past year, Oneistox has achieved remarkable milestones, with exponential growth and scale. The biggest contributor to the company’s success has been their unmatched understanding of the AEC industry and their strategic positioning as an ed-tech that challenges the status quo. We believe they are the game-changers the industry was looking for.” said Kshitij Golwalkar, General Partner, Powerhouse Ventures

The idea of Oneistox came to life when the founding team put together model-making workshops across the country. As they started visiting multiple venues and meeting architecture grads across the country, they felt that there was a gap in the architectural education that most institutions offered. As 50 student workshops grew to 50+ workshops with 1000+ learners, Harkunwar and his co-founders understood that the problem of upskilling AEC professionals was a real-life business problem that the industry was yearning for.

“Since 1913, Trane has been pioneering innovation that advances industries and improves lives and communities,” said Donny Simmons, president, of Commercial HVAC Americas, Trane Technologies. “Today, Trane Technologies continues to challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world – a purpose built on more than a century of big ideas, bold action and extraordinary impact.”

Mumbai,13th April 2023: Homesfy Realty Ltd. India’s 1st tech-enabled real estate brokerage listed on NSE Emerge – records its best annual performance ever. Pre Sales value for Q4-FY23 grew by 51% with a value of ₹599 Crores over Q3-FY23 and 15% compared to Q4-FY22. This is particularly notable in light of the challenging global environment and the rising cost of home loans in the domestic market. This is Homesfy’s first operational update since listing on NSE Emerge, and it has been informed to the exchange.

For FY23, the average unit price stood at ₹ 91 Lacs, with an improvement of 7.5% over last year’s price of ₹ 84 Lacs. Mumbai’s sales volume was up by 42%, and Bangalore’s sales volume was up by 37% compared to FY22.

Top developers in FY23 include Lodha, Runwal Group, Prestige, Godrej, and L&T, significant contributors to high sales value and volume growth. Mumbai region contributed about 70% of total sales volume, followed by Bangalore, comprising 20%. Presales value contribution by our broker aggregation platform mymagnet.io grew 53% to ₹222 Crore from ₹145 Crore. Cash flow from collections has increased by 51% to ₹47.38 Crore.

The increasing sales and new launches indicate that the Indian housing sector is growing substantially. In the last quarter, January-March 2023, housing sales in India rose by 22% to 85,850 units across eight cities from 70,630 units in the Q4 of the previous financial year. New launches grew 86% to 1,47,780 units — the highest in a quarter — from 79,530 units. (source REA India)

Mr. Ashish Kukreja, Founder & CEO, Homesfy.in & Mymagnet.io, mentioned that “This is what we call transformative years for the sector. The last quarter in FY23 ended well for Homesfy and the real estate sector, that too when we witnessed one of the fastest-ever rises in interest rates. It is possible to see a rate hike in the first half of 2023-24 and a cycle stop in the second half. But, the industry expects to continue to see strong demand for quality tier-1 branded homes.”

He also added that “the government has been investing in infrastructure mega-projects like highways, and new airports, with significant policy initiatives such as “Housing for All”. This increases the possibility that the real estate market in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets will also snowball, generating substantial returns for investors. These factors will stimulate both real estate holdings’ quantitative and qualitative growth.”

The sector’s performance in Q4 indicates a genuine interest in housing, and the momentum is expected to continue despite global uncertainty.
