RPG Group pledges to conserve, restore and grow one million trees by 2030 as part of its Mega Plantation drive

Mumbai, 17th January, 2024: RPG Group, one of India’s leading business conglomerates, has pledged to conserve, restore and grow one million trees by 2030. This initiative is pledged with 1t.org, a Geneva- based World Economic Forum platform that aims to mobilize a global reforestation community to attain the goal of conserving, restoring and growing 1 trillion trees worldwide by 2030.

1t.org is a vital part of the World Economic Forum’s work to accelerate nature-based solutions in support of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).

RPG Group aims to reforest these trees across regions where they operate, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Rajasthan. RPG employees across group’s various companies will be actively involved in nurturing and growing these trees. The restoration drive will be spearheaded by RPG Foundation, the CSR arm of the conglomerate. The goal is to increase the number of trees in the area and explore ways to bring more advantages to both the community and the environment.

Anant Goenka, Vice Chairman of RPG Group shared, “We are committed to sustainable growth. This tree conservation, restoration and growth drive is a testament to our dedication to environmental conservation and our contribution to the reforestation efforts of the World Economic Forum. It’s not merely a pledge to grow a million trees; it’s a promise to contribute to a cleaner and greener tomorrow for all.”

Radha Goenka, CEO RPG Foundation said, “In keeping with RPG Foundation’s longstanding commitment to philanthropy, particularly in addressing authentic community needs, we are proud to announce a strategic alignment of our philanthropic initiatives with RPG’s sustainability efforts. Our initiatives have historically been geared towards addressing genuine needs and fostering happier communities.”

The choice of conserving and growing trees is a symbolic representation of the group’s focus on a green and clean environment. As trees represent life, growth, and interconnectedness, each tree grown becomes a tangible commitment to a brighter, happier, and greener world. Noteworthy is, that RPG Group’s brand promise is –‘Hello Happiness’. RPG Group’s ethos revolves around a nature-positive philosophy, guiding its business decisions to transcend mere profitability. RPG Group’s larger focus is to give back to communities and enrich them with happiness.

RPG Group’s commitment to a nature-positive approach is demonstrated through concrete actions across Group’s diverse business entities. Group’s flagship company, CEAT Ltd has the vision to reduce carbon footprint by 50% by 2030. KEC International, Group’s Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) major, has committed to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions intensity of manufacturing plants by 20% by FY26. Zensar Technologies, a leading technology Solutions Company under RPG umbrella, has targeted to achieve Net Zero GHG emissions by FY 2040. Other RPG Group companies too have set ambitious goals geared towards achieving carbon neutrality, water circularity and creating a green supply chain.

The Group and its companies remain committed to sustainability initiatives and are driving positive environmental change in its endeavour to build a greener future. As a result, the RPG Group has taken up several shared commitments to Sustainability in line with the UNSDGs encompassing goals such as Circular Economy by aiming to minimize waste and ensuring zero waste to landfill, Water Management by aiming to become water positive, adoption of Energy Efficiency and Renewable power to enhance decarbonisation and work towards carbon neutrality.

RPG Group is dedicated to building a more sustainable future for all stakeholders. By implementing these initiatives and continuously innovating, the organization aims to create a positive impact on the environment, its employees, and the communities it serves.

Healing from Within: Successful Offloading Surgery Offers New Hope for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients

Mumbai 17th January, 2024: Ajay Shinde, a dynamic individual in his 50s, had been grappling with a stubborn ulcer on his great toe for the past four years. Despite being actively involved in regular walking, the persistent wound had become a source of immense stress, compounded by the discouraging prognosis from multiple physicians who suggested that the ulcer would not heal on its own. Traditional approaches, such as various dressing techniques and consultations with leading doctors in prominent hospitals, had proven futile in providing a lasting solution.

Recognizing the urgency and complexity of the situation, our medical teamproposed an internal offloading surgery in July 2023 known as Keller’s Arthroplasty. During the surgery, we identified a specific bony pressure point on the dorsum of the foot that was contributing to the ulcer's persistence. Rather than addressing the ulcer directly, we opted for a minimally invasive approach by accessing the dorsum of the foot. The surgical procedure involved the meticulous removal of the problematic bone and subsequent fixation of the joint responsible for the pressure, utilizing specialized hardware. The surgery had a profound impact on the biomechanics of Ajay Shinde's foot, effectively eliminating the pressure point. Remarkably, within just one month post surgery, the diabetic foot ulcer had completely healed. The innovative offloading technique not only accelerated the healing process but also demonstrated a significant reduction in the likelihood of ulcer recurrence.

“The key takeaway from this case study is the importance of considering advanced offloading surgeries for recurrent diabetic foot ulcers. Simply relying on regular dressings may not suffice to achieve lasting results. By strategically addressing the root cause through surgical intervention, we can expedite the healing process and mitigate the risk of future recurrences,” said Dr. Shraddha Deshpande, aesthetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgeon, at Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central.

As of December 2023, during Ajay Shinde's third follow-up, he reported a remarkable recovery. The ulcer site displayed no signs of recurrence, and Ajay was not only walking comfortably but also leading a normal, active life. This case underscores the efficacy of innovative offloading surgeries in providing a long-lasting solution for chronic diabetic foot ulcers, offering hope and relief to patients who have struggled with persistent wounds for an extended period.

Gen AI- Led upskilling platform GrowthSchool achieves 400% YoY revenue growth, Targets $1 million monthly run rate by FY 2024

Bengaluru,17th January 2024: GrowthSchool, a one-of-its-kind Generative AI-led upskilling platform, has continued its exceptional streak of 400% Year-on-Year growth since its inception, with a peak monthly revenue of INR 5 crores. GrowthSchool’s unmatched innovation and emphasis on simplifying access to real-world skills has enabled it to achieve consistent growth. The two-year-old platform has already empowered more than 1 million learners and aims to take this number to 2.5 million in 2024.

GrowthSchool’s current team strength stands at 150 which has grown by 3X Year-on-Year. Looking ahead, the company aims to achieve a $1 million monthly run rate by FY 2024. In 2023, GrowthSchool not only outperformed the competitors in terms of revenue growth but also grew internationally. The company already generates 10% of its revenues from learners outside India and is aiming to make a formal foray into global markets, targeting North America (NA), Southeast Asia (SEA), and the Middle East (ME) in 2024.

GrowthSchool has also garnered significant interest from its existing investors for the upcoming Series A round. The company has a track record of pioneering new categories in the Indian market including Performance Marketing, No-Code, Web3, Management Consulting, and Generative AI — sectors that previously did not exist in the Indian market.

In a bid to enhance its global reach and maximize empowerment for job seekers worldwide, GrowthSchool has introduced ‘Outskill,’ a pioneering platform accessible to every individual. This platform allows users to acquire highly valuable professional skills, contributing to sustainable employment. This ‘Career Superapp’ offers workshops conducted by elite mentors from top brands, audiobooks summarizing bestselling non-fiction books, and comprehensive reading materials and resources that cover a wide range of relevant topics to enhance the knowledge of the learners.

Vaibhav Sisinty

Speaking about this, Vaibhav Sisinty, Founder & CEO, GrowthSchool said, “I have been a job seeker, a top-performing corporate executive, and an entrepreneur. All these experiences have given me a great understanding of how skills should be imparted and by whom. Unlike other platforms, GrowthSchool has a stringent vetting process and rigorous evaluation is done before mentors are onboarded to run workshops. During the journey of GrowthSchool, alongside empowering over 1 million+ learners, I also realised that there is a much larger talent pool out there that is not able to upskill due to monetary limitations, and that’s where we are going to make continuous learning and development even more affordable than Netflix.”

One of the biggest USPs that sets GrowthSchool apart is the ability to identify gaps in the upskilling domain in India, and craft impactful learning opportunities on real-world and cutting-edge digital tools. It is the first Indian company in its domain to integrate Generative AI in all the learning streams that it covers. The overwhelming reception from the learners and industry stakeholders has emboldened GrowthSchool’s vision to double down on its efforts to make upskilling and development affordable and accessible for everyone, everywhere.

Digit Insurance launches comprehensive EV Shield add-on cover as EV sales pegged to reach 1 crore by 2030

Digit Insurance

Bengaluru, 17th January 2024: Digit Insurance, one of India’s leading digital full-stack insurance companies, announced it has launched a comprehensive EV Shield add-on cover under its Motor Own Damage policy for four-wheeler and two-wheeler electric and hybrid vehicles.

The Indian EV market has seen significant growth with Jan-December 2023 period seeing sales of 15.29 lakh electric vehicles. A specific add-on cover has been launched by Digit to meet this rising demand and address the unique insurance needs of EVs. India’s EV market is pegged to become a $266 billion market* with projected sales of 1 crore EVs per year by 2030.

The add-on cover will come with three optional additional coverages to protect against any loss or damage to the electrical panel for the vehicle charging point, and vehicle charger including charging cable, and also offer roadside assistance services specific to EVs.

The add-on will cover damages to the battery or electric motor due to accident or external means, and also pay for any expenses incurred for repair or replacement of the battery due to water ingression and short circuit. The add-on will be offered under the Motor Own Damage policy of a vehicle and will provide all relevant vehicle coverages similar to any Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.

Speaking about the launch of EV-specific add-on coverage, Mayur Kacholiya, Head – Motor Product, Digit General Insurance, said, “Our new EV-specific add-on coverage is designed to meet the evolving changes and needs of EV vehicle owners. The severity of damage among EVs can be higher and the repairs for the same can be costly due to expensive components and need for specialised automotive technicians. The specialised add-ons along with additional coverages will provide EV owners the much-needed protection and address the nuanced issues of electric vehicles.”

The add-on cover will also offer three optional coverages to the customers to provide comprehensive coverage to the vehicles. The three coverages are:

i. Electrical panel for vehicle charging point: Charging point electrical panel of a two-wheeler EV can be expensive and can be in the range of 8%-15% of vehicle cost and any loss or damage to the same can lead to significant loss. Under this coverage, one can cover any loss or damage to the electrical panel for vehicle charging point, including damage or loss to animal attack or scratch.

ii. Vehicle charger and charging cable: The charger used to charge an EV and the cable provided for the same can be costly. Any damage to the same can lead to losses worth tens of thousands of rupees. This add-on cover will protect both your charger as well as charging cable against any loss or damage. The coverage can be taken for both mounted as well as portable charger.

iii. EV Roadside Assistance: As EVs run on limited charge, the probability of them requiring roadside assistance is higher. Under this coverage, one can arrange for a portable mobile generator in case the vehicle runs out of charge. In case the vehicle battery is swappable, one can also get the same replaced with a charged battery. The vehicles will also be provided other roadside assistance services like towing or any other vehicle repairs, etc.

Digit Insurance

The addon will be offered to both EVs as well as hybrid vehicles (electric and petrol/diesel). In case of a claim, the policyholder simply needs to notify the insurer within three days. The entire claims process will be 100% digital and the insured will not need to submit any physical documents.

Digit is one of India’s fastest-growing digital full-stack insurance companies. The company reported a motor gross direct premium (GDP) growth of 57.08% as on 30 June 2023 compared to GDP growth of 32.95% in FY23. For the 9 months ended December 31, 2022, the company commanded a motor market share of 5.3% compared to market share of 4.5% in FY22.!

Redcliffe Labs bolsters lab processes through Six Sigma metrics

India,17th January 2024: Redcliffe Labs, a Pan India omnichannel diagnostics provider, substantially improves lab quality processes by embracing Six Sigma metrics. In a study led by Dr. Sohini Sengupta, Medical Laboratory Director at Redcliffe Labs, her team of experts assessed testing processes to optimize the laboratory’s quality control practices. It translates to fewer errors, fewer sample reruns, and improved turnaround times, bolstering clinician reliance and patient satisfaction.

Redcliffe Labs conducted a two-phase quality improvement project with a comprehensive assessment of sigma scores across 25 routine high-volume assay parameters, encompassing 20 clinical chemistry and 5 immunoassay methods. By identifying the parameters with lower sigma scores in the initial phase, i.e., pre-period, they successfully implemented strategic measures to enhance their analytical quality within a rigorous 6-month timeframe. The analysis was performed on the Alinity ci series equipment from Abbott.

After the targeted improvements, the team at Redcliffe Labs conducted the post-period analysis to gauge the tangible and positive impact. It included a thorough evaluation of sigma metrics to measure any enhancements in the laboratory’s performance. The average sigma surged significantly from 6.4σ to an impressive 9.2σ. Out of the 25 analytes studied, a substantial 17 exhibited a noteworthy improvement, surpassing the pre-defined threshold of a 1.0 increase in their sigma metric.

One of the most notable advancements was observed in Glucose(most commonly tested parameter) showcasing an extraordinary surge from 3.9σ to an exceptional 26.3σ. The increase in the sigma metric for glucose directly correlates to a substantial reduction in the error rate, estimated from 9,224 Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) to less than 1 DPMO, significantly enhancing the reliability of test results.

Dr. Sohini Sengupta, Medical Laboratory Director at Redcliffe Labs, said, “The impact of our quality improvement study extends far beyond metrics—it’s a testament to our commitment to excellence. Achieving world-class performance across high-volume assays by adopting Sigma metrics elevates our confidence in our test results. It reiterates our continued focus on achieving the highest standards of quality at Redcliffe. These enhancements also mean fewer errors, efficient workflows, and faster turnaround times.”
