Mumbai, 7th June 2023: Scaler (by InterviewBit), one of the fastest-growing tech education startups, today announced its association with the online video streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar as an official partner for the marquee World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia from 07 to 11th June 2023. Through this association, the edtech startup aims to garner around 50 million cumulative impressions (the campaign will be played multiple times during the duration of the event) for the edtech’s latest brand film that urges working professionals to be self-driven in their hungry pursuit for skill-based career growth.

Since its inception, Scaler’s marketing efforts have systematically targeted its niche audience of working tech and IT professionals in a deliberate manner to ensure maximum impact at a fraction of the astronomical marketing costs cited by its peers. With an emphasis on clutter-breaking messaging and adopting a digital-first approach to reach its potential learner community, Scaler has launched some of the most thought-provoking campaigns, challenging the status quo when it comes to how techies learn and build their careers.

Backed by the success of its most memorable campaign on skills-trumping degrees, Scaler’s BTL approach has served it well with channels such as OTT, YouTube, social media engagement activities, and other content collaborations across genres and geographies. Hence, even as the brand bets on more significant sporting events like cricket for more exhaustive canvassing, its association is with an OTT platform and app, as the latter emerges as the default choice of young aspiring techies and working professionals. The brand has previously collaborated with Disney+Hotstar as an Associate Sponsor to promote its marketing campaign during the Asia Cup.

“We are delighted to announce our strategic partnership with Disney+ Hotstar for the much-anticipated Final between India and Australia. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in Scaler’s evolving brand-marketing journey as we move beyond the safe harbour of our minimal investment for a maximum-impact approach. Our goal is to enhance visibility for the brand by aligning with niche sporting events that reach our desired demographic,” says Rahul Karthikeyan, Chief Marketing Officer Scaler & InterviewBit.

“As we continue to expand our learner base, impactful associations with high-decibel sporting events, such as cricket, will help instantly create the desired brand awareness amidst a much wider audience. We look forward to a captivating match and creating a memorable experience for all cricket enthusiasts,” he added.

Over the years, most brands have relied heavily on brand ambassadors to appeal to their audiences. However, since most upskilling programs target a specific audience that is well-informed and part of the decision-making process, only a few brands have built a niche. In 2022, Scaler announced a 100 crore investment in digital marketing to capture the minds of young and aspiring techies through their medium of choice. On the back of its sustainable, low-cash-burn principle, Scaler has observed a 100% increase in enrolment inquiries for its online programs and a staggering 200% increase in the time spent by existing learners on the platform.

Scaler’s BTL approach, which includes strategic partnerships with creators and influencers such as Alright, Ankur Warikoo, JordIndian, RVCJ, TVF, and more, has helped the brand optimise costs while yielding positive outcomes. In 2022, the brand successfully produced two popular Telugu, Marathi web series, and a regional language movie, generating millions of views per episode on YouTube. Additionally, collaborations with prominent regional influencers such as Parithabangal and Prafull MBA Chai Wala have further elevated the brand’s presence in specific regions experiencing growing upskilling demand.

As gender equality gains momentum, global leader women are dismantling stereotypes, reshaping industries, and forging new paths to success. Over the years, the entrepreneurship landscape has been predominantly dominated by men, with women facing numerous obstacles and biases. However, a new wave of visionary women leaders is challenging the status quo, leaving an indelible impact on both local and global economies. From founding disruptive startups to leading multinational corporations, these trailblazers are proving that gender is no impediment to success.

The rise of influential women leaders is a testament to their unwavering determination and their ability to overcome systemic barriers. They embody the spirit of entrepreneurship, demonstrating innovative thinking, risk-taking, and resilience in the face of adversity.

These women leaders have shattered glass ceilings, challenged societal norms, and opened doors for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Hyderabad, June 06, 2023: The Greater Hyderabad Parisara Foundation (GHPF), a not-for-profit organisation, devoted to transforming the ecology of the city and its surroundings into a greener and healthier metropolis, was launched by Shri Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, Industry & Commerce, and IT, Government of Telangana, today.

The vision of the newly-launched GHPF is Greater Hyderabad, Greener Hyderabad.

GHPF, which is the Hyderabad chapter of a movement launched by a group of scientists, experts and other concerned citizens who have come together to ecologically transform Indian cities overwhelmed by extreme climate events, overflowing landfills with untreated solid wastes, depleting groundwater, encroached and polluted water bodies, toxic air quality and other environmental degradation. The group launched its Bengaluru chapter, Greater Bengaluru Parisara Foundation, in early 2022.

The launch event held on Monday on the eve of the World Environment Day at 360LIFE ‘Origin Towers at Madhapur’ in Hyderabad, India’s first and Asia’s only second such venture (Vertical Garden Twin Buildings) , was accompanied by the symbolic watering of the Vertical green forest of the apartment complex.

360 Life pioneers environmentally-conscious buildings to balance urban ecological health and the city’s development needs.

GHPF, the Hyderabad Chapter, aptly launched on Monday, the UN World Environment Day

Speaking on the occasion Mr Jayesh Ranjan said it is the perfect occasion to bring a new NGO to Hyderabad said to have done phenomenally well in Bangalore over a period of one year. Many cities are confronted with environmental challenges and Hyderabad is no exception. What you need to do is to collaborate with those institutions that are doing similar work. He said he would be ready to facilitate such collaborations and promised all the help.

I am happy to note that 360 Life has come forward to take responsibility for the restoration of the two-step well in the Osmania University campus. Over the last two years, 20 step-wells were restored in the city. He also appreciated 360 Life for coming out with the two tallest apartment buildings with vertical forests.

More and more people are moving to cities. Now villages have become old age homes. As a result, there is a tremendous amount of stress on urban infrastructure said Prakash Belwadi, Theatre, Film, Media personality, an activist and thought leader who is the founder of Greater Bangalore Parisara Foundation.

In the next 15 to 20 years about 250 to 300 million people will be migrating to urban areas. 18 million tonnes of garbage is produced across India every year. And this is going into landfills, which are polluting underground water. We need to use scientific data in urban planning. The newly launched NGO will provide scientifically reviewed data for urban planning. It will also help people to take informed decisions with the data. So that they will not buy properties in problematic areas. The NGO will work with Government and not against the government he said.

Speaking on the occasion Mr K Srikanth, Director of 360 Life said that they are a social enterprise with a commercial viability rather than a complete commercial enterprise. Builders have to be responsible for the well-being of the customers who reside in the residences they build. Today the scenario is under construction real estate projects produce more dust, air, noise pollution, and disturbance to the neighbours. Now you are here in this under-construction project without witnessing any of them he said.

We never celebrated New Year, but we have always celebrated World Environment Day. This is our 9th year of celebration. This day is an opportunity to showcase how dustfree is an under-construction site. We would like to see a better Hyderabad. Our goal for the newly formed Greater Hyderabad Parisara Foundation is to achieve Net Zero. Net Zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) that’s produced and the amount that’s removed from the atmosphere, he said.

Towards this direction, very soon we will be launching our project and initiatives for Net Zero, where Shri G Ranjith Reddy, MP, Lok Sabha; Shri Arekapudi Gandhi, MLA, and Whip, Telangana Assembly have agreed to take up the implementation in one colony each in their respective constituencies, Srikanth informed.

Smt Kalpana Ramesh, Founder, of The Rain Water Project, speaking on the occasion said nearly 5000 tonnes of garbage (equivalent to the garbage, the entire city produces a day) was removed from 20 step-wells which were restored in the city in the last two years. She shared that Rashtrapathi Nilayam in Bollaram has reached out to her to restore two step wells in Rashtrapathi Nilayam in Bollaram. The GHPF has come to Hyderabad at such a time the city is ready to welcome you, she said.

Shri Nagesh Sidhanti, Landscape Engineer, Arboriculturist, and Urban Forestry Expert; Prof D Ravinder, Vice-Chancellor, Osmania University; Shri ThilothamKolanu, Director, Andhra Pradesh Environmental Management Corporation, Shri Vinay Palaparthy, trade and industrial entrepreneur, and others also participated.

360LIFE, which takes pride in facilitating the launch of this new foundation, with an aim to further the environmentally-harmonious development of Greater Hyderabad, took the opportunity to showcase to the dignitaries the progress made with, its stunning vertical forest model apartments on World Environment Day. The towers are twin urban apartment buildings that are covered by vertical gardens, the first of its kind in the country to balance mother nature with development.

360LIFE, a leading developer in the city, with plans to expand in Cochin, Jaipur, Pune, Chennai, Kigali (Rwanda), and Dubai, is committed to spearheading a strategic shift towards sustainability in development projects.

The vision of 360 LIFE is aligned with that of the foundation’s belief that the transformation into ‘Greater Hyderabad, Greener Hyderabad’ can be driven only by joining forces with government entities, academic institutions, NGOs, and citizen groups, the speakers said.

BOX ITEM

STEPWELLS AT OSMANIA TO BE REVIVED
360LIFE, in keeping with its identity as a green infra company and its avowed ethos of seamlessly blending nature into its projects, is proud to announce its decision to adopt one such restoration effort underway in the city: Two beautiful heritage step wells in Osmania University. The project is being taken up by The Rainwater Project, the social start-up that earlier restored the now-famous Bansilalpet Stepwell.

360LIFE is committed to supporting projects around the environment and water conservation. This project will not only preserve heritage and architecture but also revive the charging of groundwater in the extended area around the stepwell and help create a vibrant public space in OU. The Osmania University step-wells, when restored, will augment the local groundwater levels, reduce urban flooding and serve to showcase a sterling example of traditional water conservation structures in the midst of our urban habitat.
