28 April 2023  Mountaineering has long been considered as one of the most challenging and thrilling outdoor activities. It involves scaling to the heights of impressive peaks, navigating through harsh terrains, and dealing with unpredictable weather conditions. However, beyond the adventure and adrenaline rush that mountaineering offers, it has also become a potent instrument for social change.

“As an adventure sport, mountaineering draws participants from various societal groups, nations, and cultures. Mountaineering helps people test their physical and mental limits, improve their leadership and teamwork qualities, and obtain a fresh perspective on their capabilities. Furthermore, mountaineering frequently requires visiting isolated mountain regions, which are frequently undeveloped or ignored. Through expeditions, mountaineers develop relationships with the local populations and acquire insight into the difficulties and opportunities that these communities face.” says Gayatri Mohanty.

Using Adventure’s Power to Make a Positive Impact

Mountaineering offers the chance to address a variety of social challenges, making it a potent weapon for social change. Mountaineering offers a chance to develop an understanding of the wonder of nature and the need to preserve it. Climbing trips can be used to advance ecotourism, draw attention to environmental protection issues, and push for the preservation of natural resources.

Women Empowerment

Men have historically dominated mountaineering. However, more women are participating in the sport and breaking down obstacles in recent years. Mountaineering can be utilised to advance gender equality, give women more self-assurance, enable them to assume leadership roles, and help them get over obstacles.

Community Development

Communities in isolated alpine regions may benefit economically from mountaineering. Through socially responsible tourism, expeditions can foster the interchange of ideas, encourage cultural understanding, and open doors for development.

Health and Wellness

A great sport to encourage both physical and mental fitness is mountaineering. It gives people the chance to go above their comfort zones, find their purpose in life, and discover their boundaries. Mountaineering can be utilized to motivate individuals to participate in adventure and fitness activities and to promote healthy lifestyles.

There is no denying adventure’s ability to spark social transformation. Mountaineering offers a chance to forge deep bonds, tackle societal problems, and encourage constructive change. As more people take up the sport, they develop into change agents and have an impact on their neighborhoods. Mountaineering has the power to improve lives, communities, and the planet when done in a team effort.

Mumbai, 28th April’23 –– Blue Dart Express Limited, South Asia’s premier express air-integrated transportation and distribution express logistics company, announced that it has equipped its platforms with what3words location technology. Now, Blue Dart stakeholders can add their what3words address in the address section of the ‘My Blue Dart’ App, Blue Dart website and On the Move (OTM) platform for enabling them to specify a very precise delivery location—be it the front door of their home/ office, a specific apartment complex entrance, or a tucked-away side passage.

In India, addresses are as practice slotted under pin codes, which are associated with delivery post offices. These cover very broad areas with the chances of street names being duplicated or incorrect. This makes it difficult for customers to specify precisely where a delivery needs to be made, thus leading to a time- consuming exercise for delivery agents. The technology that aids what3words has been designed to solve this. It has divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and given each square a unique combination of three words: a what3words address.

For example, ///swimmer.kindness.habits is the what3words location for Blue Dart Head Office in Andheri, Mumbai. By typing these three words on the what3words portal or website, one can easily find, share and navigate to the location from anywhere in the world. The technology is also available offline and in 54 languages including 12 South Asian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Nepali, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Odia.

Of the initiative, Ketan Kulkarni, Chief Commercial Officer, Blue Dart says, ” Given the customer centricity values that Blue Dart carries, we partnered with what3words to stand true to our brand commitment of Customer Convenience and Delight. The three-word address will not only provide a seamless last mile delivery but will also increase delivery efficacy by reaching the precise location (within 3m of space) as specified by the customer. We believe that as the use of what3words grows, it will provide a unique way for us to deliver to specific locations, particularly in areas with informal addresses.”

On the partnership, Chris Sheldrick, what3words CEO and Co-Founder adds “What3words is the ideal technology for deliveries in a market like India where addressing is complex and often inaccurate. Our partnership with Blue Dart means that anyone, no matter how hard their home might be to find, can ensure their deliveries will go to the right place.”

The latest version of what3words will be available on all the Blue Dart platforms. Stakeholders will be able to download the what3words application for free via iOS and Android platforms. The easy adoption is what has made what3words a popular tool for businesses around the world and has helped them improve their customer experience and enhance efficiency, while reducing expenses and environmental impact.

Blue Dart customers can find their unique what3words address via the free what3words app – available for iOS and Android – or the online map at what3words.com. They can then save their what3words address in the My Blue Dart App, website or OTM, under the address section. Blue Dart’s customer and delivery platforms give customers power and flexibility over their deliveries, and the addition of what3words will provide further precision in the delivery address.
