Life Coach Shilpa Singh Talks About Her Book Medi-Sin Children

In conversation with Digpu, Shilpa Singh discusses her book Medi-Sin Children and her journey towards becoming a life coach. She also talks about how she sees life and what she perceives of it.

Tell us about yourself. What was your life before becoming the author of Medi-Sin Children?

I am Shilpa Singh, a commerce graduate, an MBA by want, a Life coach and entrepreneur by choice. Having worked in corporate at various levels for 14 years I took an informed decision, quit my 9 to 6 job and started working for myself towards my dreams.

Today, I am the Author of my book Medi-Sin Children, a life coach, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a happy mother of 2 lovely kids. I have impacted more than 1000 lives through my book, coaching and speaking engagements in various personal development seminars.

Tell us about Medi-Sin Children. Quite an interesting title, what brought you to it?

Everyone comes across life-changing incidents and moments so powerful that your life gets divided into before and after them. I can count three of them. One of them is when my 1-year-old son fell sick and I witnessed the medical world in true sense. I felt its effect on unsuspecting mothers depending on doctors for their children’s good health. The truth is the doctors are just as helpless as mothers most of the time.

A profound moment when my son was hospitalized for a minor sickness, I couldn’t bear his pain and discomfort in the way he was being handled. This made me realize that there had to be a different way. So, I began to research alternatives.

My research brought me across wonderful work by leading professionals in the field of natural healing who have shown that a mother can raise a healthy child without a doctor. Armed with this information, I changed my lifestyle and prepared my body better for my second pregnancy. The knowledge I acquired taught me a lot about childbirth and raising healthy children. Today, I have two healthy children – a boy and a girl.

I wrote this book to share my findings from hard, careful research and my own experience. Considering the enormous health benefits my kids received, I felt the need to document this journey in Medi-Sin Children and help mothers looking for alternative ways to take charge of their own health.

Life Coach Shilpa Singh Talks About Her Book Medi-Sin Children - Entrepreneur News Digpu

How did you get into what you do right now?

I was looking for a path to feel significant, guidance in the right direction, support and ample motivation to take my life forward. Until recently, I only thought about myself and my family, I realized my inner happiness and fulfilment comes not by only focusing inwards but from contributing and focusing outwards.

As they say what you seek is seeking you .exactly when I started searching for answers of my existence, my purpose and meaning of life, I came through life coaching and my journey towards transformation began.

How did life coaching come to you?

I wrote Medi-Sin Children to be a force-multiplier towards creating an impact in the world. I always thought about what legacy will I leave behind when I am no more, legacy in terms of what I did for people and how I made them feel. What better way to do this than to write a book. My book will be there always for people to get inspired even when I am not there. I am creating a tribe on my Instagram handle @shilpa_impactinglives.

I am a life coach and this book is my first step towards transforming lives by passing on my knowledge and experience to mothers looking for alternatives that can help them raise their children confidently without depending too much on medications. The least that a mother deserves is feeling more confident and unstressed as she raises her most precious gift.

Shilpa Singh ends the conversation with Digpu with a smile of hope.

Nadiya Mushtaq Mir – Bringing Calligraphy to life in Kashmir

Nadiya Mushtaq Mir – Bringing Calligraphy to life in Kashmir

SRINAGAR: Contemporary calligraphic practice is defined as the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skilful manner, Nadiya Mushtaq Mir from Srinagar has been doing exactly that through one of the captivating forms of art. In fact, she has, through her enchanting artworks, given a new lease of life to the art of Calligraphy in the Valley.

Nadiya Mushtaq Mir - Bringing Calligraphy to life in Kashmir

Brought up in a conservative family in Civil Lines area of Srinagar, Nadiya did Masters in Economics and Diploma in Fashion Designing but followed her passion. She has become what she wanted to – a creative calligrapher and a designer.

“Right from my childhood, I had tremendous energy full of creativity. I wanted to follow my dreams and do something in life. Through Calligraphy, I was able to channelize my creativity,” Nadiya says, adding, “The first time I started doing calligraphy, I realised I am good at it. I had an intuition that if I continue working on my talent, I could be better at it.”

Calligraphy requires long hours of serious dedication and scope for deviation even by a small degree would hamper prospects of a perfect art. She adds, “To accomplish a piece of art, one must dedicate continuous focused hours.”

Nadiya Mushtaq Mir - Bringing Calligraphy to life in Kashmir

Nadiya’s family has supported her throughout her journey to be a well-known calligrapher. “They read media reports about my work. And, since my work is mainly related to religion, they are happy about it,” Nadiya says.

But she is not sure whether this support would last for the years to come.

On being asked about the challenges she faces, Nadiya Mushtaq says, “The first challenge is to choose what verse to work on, what colour combination to use. These are the basic things. Then you have to decide whether to go by the customized demands of clients or to pursue own creativity as the two may not coincide most the time.”

On being asked whether she faced any gender-specific challenges, she replies, “Not many actually. The clients who order, consider it very religious and give me a lot of respect. The journalists and even the people associated with many other arts have been very supportive and as such, I did not face any gender bias.”

Most of her clients want her to work on a particular theme which she finds elementary and basic. She wants to do something ‘on the next level’. However, she says, “Client demand is paramount.”

Even though Nadiya earns a handsome amount, she never rated money as a metric to gauge her success as a calligrapher. But she is still not sure whether to make the art her full-time profession.

For the time being, she wants to live the present moment. “Yes, my work is going well. I am even getting orders from outside of South Asia. Coming few years, touchwood should go well,” she says.

About her future plans, she says she has some definite plans in mind. Among other endeavours, she plans to open an academy to promote calligraphy. “At the same time, I am getting good offers and it all feels very satisfactory,” she adds.

In her message to the budding calligraphers, Nadiya calls calligraphy as an art of patience to create perfect beautiful handwriting. “Analysing & interpreting the knowledge of the structure of each letter and how to connect and balance them together effectively are the ways to developing your own style of calligraphy,” Nadiya says, adding, “Your calligraphy will never be and look good if the paper bleeds with ink or colour. So, keep practising and don’t ever give up.”

Crypto & Forex Ponzi Scheme on the rise amid COVID-19

In conversation with Digpu, Adv P M Mishra talks about various scams that have hit the market since the past few years. He sheds light on how these scammers work and why an investment should be based on critical research.

Internet usage has seen a surge in Covid19 era, and few scammers would love to take advantage of this situation. Thousands of Forex trading related Ponzi schemes, Cryptocurrency related Ponzi schemes have already been unveiled globally, more specifically in India.

As Indian investors are habituated to forget things quickly, same old scammers are in line to loot common Indians in the name of Forex traders, Crude oil company investment plan, ROI based MLM scheme & more importantly Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin-related fraud.

Without the mandatory Cryptocurrency regulation as such genuine Crypto exchanges are in an uncomfortable situation but these scammers keep on looting Investors by promising huge return.

Social Media Deception And Fancy Jargons

Some scammers go for straight-up deception. The founders of scam cryptocurrency One Coin defrauded investors of $3.8 billion by convincing people their non-existent cryptocurrency was real, as per an article on Business Standard.

Other scams are based on impressing potential victims with jargon or claims of specialized knowledge. The Global Trading scammers claimed they took advantage of price differences on various cryptocurrency exchanges to profit from what is called arbitrage – simply buying cheaply and selling at higher prices. Really, they just took investors’ money.

Crypto & Forex Ponzi Scheme on the rise amid COVID-19 - CryptoCurrency News Digpu

Global Trading used a bot on Telegram, too. The investors could send a balance inquiry message and get a response with false information about how much was in their account, sometimes even seeing balances climb by 1% in an hour. With returns looking like that, who could blame people for sharing the scheme with their friends and family on social media?

Some fraudsters are also convincing people to share their services friends and family. You may find 5 to 10 apps online in India asking for investing in their investment schemes online via Facebook in the name of Forex.

Fraudulent initial coin offerings

Another popular scam technique is called an ‘initial coin offering’. A potentially legitimate investment opportunity, an initial coin offering essentially is a way for a startup cryptocurrency company to raise money from its future users. In exchange for sending active cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum, customers are promised a discount on the new crypto coins.

Many initial coin offerings have turned out to be scams, with organizers engaging in cunning plots, even renting fake offices and creating fancy-looking marketing materials. As per the article by the Business Standard, in 2017, a lot of hype and media coverage about cryptocurrency fed a huge wave of initial coin offering fraud. In 2018, about 1,000 initial coin offering efforts collapsed, costing backers at least $100 million. Many of these projects had no original ideas – more than 15% of them had copied ideas from other cryptocurrency efforts, or even plagiarized supporting documentation.

Investors looking for returns in a new technology sector are still interested in blockchains and cryptocurrency, but they should be aware that they are complex systems that are new even to those who are selling them. Newcomers and relative experts alike have fallen prey to scams.

In an environment like the current cryptocurrency market, potential investors should be incredibly careful to research what they’re putting their money into. An investor should find out who is involved as well as what the actual plan is for making real money, without defrauding others. Never forget the scams from Speak Asia, MMM, Onecoin, Bitconnect, Gain bitcoin & all other forex scams.

Adv P M Mishra from Finlaw Consultancy concludes by saying, “Through this conversation, I aim like to save millions from those scammers & save a new technical innovation, which might face undue regulatory death in India. Everyone must research before investing otherwise there are bigger prices to pay.”

Fintech Chanakya Shibabrata Bhaumik Enters India At The Most Opportune Time

In conversation with Digpu, Shibabrata Bhaumik, Founder of London based Fintech startup PayQ, talks about the exponential growth of the company, adopting new territory starting from the United Kingdom to diversifying its merchant acquisition to the EU and his milestone of stepping into the Indian Market.

Fintech lending began to emerge in India around 2014 and soon mushroomed into a rapidly expanding ecosystem. But what is missed is the extent to which the rise of fintech has catalysed broader changes in the economy. Fintech will help unlock Bharat and India will emerge as a cashless economy and enhancing financial inclusion.

The entrepreneurship game has changed substantially during COVID19 and players have to change their game plan post COVID19.

In conversation with Digpu, Shibabrata Bhaumik, Founder of London based Fintech PayQ, talks about the exponential growth of PayQ, adopting new territory starting from the United Kingdom to diversifying its merchant acquisition to the EU and his milestone of stepping into the Indian Market.

PayQ’s entry to India comes at a very opportune time. During the lockdown, several questions have been raised about the readiness of the Indian grassroots system to allow its small businesses to participate in an end-to-end digital ecosystem that powers content, transactions and finally, payments and fulfilment. With this one move, PayQ has sent out signals to take on the giants in the payments, content and eCommerce spaces, simultaneously.

PayQ’s digital payment platform also includes digital billing to even geotagging, Shibabrata believes that merchant digitization business will boom when the lockdown eases. PayQ also deals with a merchant account for high-risk businesses like payment gateway for tech support, Merchant accounts for Pharmacy and aims to go beyond the traditional payment method to revolutionize the e-commerce industry.

While Paytm, Google Pay, Naspers-owned PayU and other players were aggressively trying to rope in small businesses on their platform, as B2B doesn’t bleed the business, the big scramble is for over 60 million small businesses. PayQ and Shibabrata are trying to get them hooked to the payment gateway by offering a host of services, including loans, easy payment acceptance and settlement to small businesses including Kirana shops.

In style and philosophy, Shibabrata Bhaumik, the 36-year-old founder and CEO of PayQ, is in the camp of the financial anarchists. He sits, jammed alongside Developers, Payment Technology Experts and Data Scientists, in a row of tiny desks resembling library carrels and he prefers to sit and work with the team around their desk not like a typical CEO with fancy cabin. He talks about a brave new world in which we are liberated from the shackles of giant banks and government-controlled money supplies.

The CEO of PayQ, Shibabrata Bhaumik is a young first generation entrepreneur, who has developed application programme interfaces (APIs) for India’s ambitious Unified Payments Interface (UPI). He says, “Working with the government is not so difficult. It has been an enriching experience. Your credibility depends on your delivery of performance. The payments landscape is going to change fundamentally”.

On being asked by Digpu about why he got into this business in the first place, “I wanted the world to have a global, open financial system that drove innovation and freedom.” In the following business model, though, Shibabrata fits in with the pinstriped financiers working down the block.

Born at Kolkata, India to an engineer Father, Shibabrata displayed an entrepreneurial streak as early as grade school. He recalls being hauled into the principal’s office on charges of operating a candy-reselling venture on the playground. The business flings continued with a scheme to resell used computers and, after he earned a master’s degree in 2006 in International Business.

In 2012, Shibabrata read the manifesto by a European Union Bank that proposed card payments of Visa, Mastercard & the future Fintech companies will have limitless possibilities and bitcoin as an underground currency. Its transactions are recorded on a ledger called the blockchain, maintained in duplicated computer files by a band of self-appointed guardians called nodes. The nodes are kept honest, and troublemakers at bay, by requiring a participant in the network to engage in some arithmetic busywork before certifying a batch of transactions.

The busywork, called mining, did not interest Shibabrata. But he did see an opportunity in the business of safeguarding the keys to the coins and setting up transactions. Working weekends and late nights, Shibabrata and his Developing Team created a Payment gateway to process high volume transactions and connected the nodes with the acquiring bank and launched the first payment portal in 2014 but later sold it to an EU Bank.

Few Venture capitalists from Russia and Germany, invested 5 million USD in Shibabrta’s innovative approach in 2017 and motivated him to create PayQ, a unique high-risk merchant account company whish uses cryptocurrencies and blockchains to build transaction networks for corporations.

Crypto has been condemned as rat poison by Warren Buffett, as a fraud by Jamie Dimon and the mother of all scams by doomsday economist Nouriel Roubini. Where’s the payoff to the economy?

“It’s coming,” Bhaumik says. He posits a future in which thousands of startups use crypto to raise capital in a global marketplace no longer controlled by Wall Street firms. Within a decade, he predicts, the number of people participating in the blockchain economy will explode from 50 million to 1 billion. We are destined to enjoy a financial system that is “more global, fairer, freer and more efficient.”

IM Branding is an international Marketing agency headquartered in the United Kingdom. With a clear vision of bringing transparency in the industry, the brand strives to be celebrated as a multidisciplinary marketing agency

IM Branding incepted in the year 2018 with great passion towards a positive transformation towards the industry. IM stands for Indian Made and the company’s slogan is – ‘Be A Brand Yourself Before Branding Anyone’. They kickstarted their business after availing Mudra Loan of 5 lakhs from UCO Bank. In no time, the company soon expanded its wings to the UK as well. 

Dalson Zacharia Samuel, CEO, IM Branding shared his journey and said, “When we shared our dream project with UCO Bank, they were very positive and willing to associate with us. Without their never-ending support and encouragement, we would have never made this possible. We are always grateful to the bank for being the pillar of support to our humble beginnings.”

Cutting down all unnecessary expenditures is one of the most important and arduous tasks in any successful venture. In conversation about this, Dalson says,” The future of work is Work From Home (WFH). We started it way before companies were forced to imbibe it in their functioning. Not only did we save the infrastructural costs, but the employees also feel more comfortable and productive in their own spaces. Presently, we have employees who are working virtually from around the globe because we believe in the optimum use of technology.”

IM Branding Aims To Be Company Of The Century, says CEO Dalson Samuel

IM Branding is all set to expand its business and to meet the day-to-day needs of every customer through the growing technology applications. The company has been successfully running its mobile app – IM Profile for the entertainment and media industry globally, for the past few months. 

IM Profile is an all-in-one mobile application that aims to build a digital influencer system.   It is ready to launch a mobile application known as ‘IM Connect’ by the end of 2020. IM Connect will be a single app that integrates with all other services and is going to be the only paid social networking app to date. 

Not stopping at this, they are also entering the Film and OTT industry with IM Films and IM Ads in the near future. IM Films is an OTT-Service provider within the IM Connect app. There will be five production houses under the name ‘IM studios’ and will be providing content to IM Films. The company plans to invest the revenue of one vertical into the execution of the other.

IM Branding aims to be recognised as the most impactful social media company in the global market. The company already owns several top brands in the UK namely Crochie Clothing Brand, Plan Your Adventures and IM Super Market. 

There is no doubt that IM Branding will soon carve out its niche in the market. According to Dalson Samuel, “ We live in a world created by others. For example, Youtube asks us to create a youtube channel, Facebook says to create a page and Instagram says to increase followers thereby make an income. None of these companies ever motivate or inspire us to grow as a business like them and earn. So, when we thought about our brand, we wanted to be different. We wanted to be a self-made brand capable of Monetizing Users Time into Money when they use IM Connect.”

He further stated, “Most of us want to go with the flow, but as a team, we are determined to create a world of our dreams. Most of the graduates aspire to work for International companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. But we want to establish as an Indian company, every job seeker looks for.  Our determination is to grow ourselves as employees’ dream company from India. We envision bringing business from various parts of the world to India and help the national economy to grow.”

For his prospective investors and business partners, Samuel says, “I invite Indian investors to understand this opportunity and convert our mutual vision into reality. We are passionate young Indian brains who are all focused on building ‘IM’ as a brand. We are looking forward to working with more passion-driven visionaries in the future.
