January 16, 2020, Mumbai, India–
Everyone experiences an unrelenting aspiration to go
where they can’t. We envision traveling to places no one has ever been,
exploring areas no one ever has, living in ways no one ever did. That is until
we’re yanked back to the reality of our mundane lives. Life is hard and unfair,
and you will have to struggle to be successful, earn money, and be able to
provide for you and your family. However, there are ways to get help.
Some people say that you should never lean on anyone,
that you should never trust anyone. But, they haven’t met Kawish. This
organization takes helping others a step forward. Not only is their mission to “develop a literate, healthy & self-esteemed society ready to take
on challenges of life and supporting each other in the hour of need,” but they envision so much
more. Kawish is an established education welfare society that strives to form a
society where it can’t be formed on its own. And their latest initiative, Hum
Honge Kamiyab, speaks for itself. Loosely translated, Hum Honge Kamiyab means we will
overcome. And it goes perfectly with the purpose and goal of this initiative.
We all know of at least one person who has struggled
their entire lives to reach the position they’re in right now. They entire
lives they spent working toward one thing and now have one of the greatest
success stories you’ve ever heard. Hum Honge Kamiyab is an event for people
just like that. As a part of the event, Speakers are invited to give a speech
to motivate the learners, talking about how they carved their careers and
fought against all odds to get there.
Hum Honge Kamiyab, A flagship program of Kawish
Some of the esteemed speakers who
attended include:
ISRO scientist Dr. Shafiuddin
Badruddin
Young architect Mohammed Bilal Nisar
Shaikh
Chemical engineer Faisal Yusouf
Deshpande
MBBS Humera Khan
Chartered accountant Alia Faizan
And retired judge Mohammed Yunus
Shaikh
Alongside the esteemed speakers, the event was graced
with the eminent presence of Danish Malik, the founder and managing director of Boomlet Media. One of the unique things
about this man is that at the young age of 26, when most people in this
industry are still learning how to simply transform a digital space, Malik had
already founded Boomlet Media.
It all started when he graduated with a degree in finance
and marketing. He secured a job at TCS Citi as a member of the Personal Wealth
Management team. This is where he started his training, gearing up for the long
entrepreneurial journey that loomed ahead.
With his rare fresh mind and restructuring techniques, he
created his company in 2017. Starting with just one intern, Boomlet Media is
one of a booming force in the industry, with more than 20 employees today.
Impressed with the inspiring path Malik had followed and
the countless obstacles he overcame, the journey of a common employee to a
successful entrepreneur. In fact, at the Hum Honge Kamiyab event, Malik was
facilitated the Role Model of the Community award by Honorable MLA, Mr.Raees
Shaikh. The
felicitation was embarked with shedding light on Mr. Danish Malik’s story
encourages us to walk towards the fire, not away, showing us that anything is
possible. Our current reality doesn’t determine the future, our will to work
and overcome does. In the future, when you reminisce about the sleepless nights
and the long hours, it’ll feel like all of it paid off, just as Malik does now.
Just like him, you can have a dream to change the world with a unique approach and
come out standing a winner on the other side.
It may seem impossible, but you can be the next Danish
Malik. This is what Kawish wants and aims to do all over the world. They want
to show everyone that this is possible, that they can do it too, and that they
can overcome life itself if they have to!
Stephanie Ness, certified and influential specialist on evolutionary algorithms
January 14, 2020, New Delhi, India–
Stephanie Ness, also called Mrs Ness is an
international, certified and influential specialist on evolutionary algorithms.
She studied investment and information technology at Harvard University and the
London School of Economics, United Kingdom respectively. She is a competent
technology lawyer, especially when it comes to data protection. She studied
International Law, with a focus on UK law. However, she is also well qualified
in Austrian law.
Mrs Ness served as a patent researcher for multiple
high tech startups, which she kept advising for several years and which have
been sold at an undisclosed amount to investors. She has been an international
technology and investment advisor and interim manager for more than 15 years.
Ness concepts on evolutionary algorithms are
modelled after the biological processes of natural selection and have been used
to discover answers to problems that have many possible solutions. For example,
in the classic Traveling Sаlеѕреrѕоn Prоblеm, the chаllеngе iѕ to lосаtе or find
the shortest diѕtаnсе that would be rеԛuirеd for a ѕаlеѕреrѕоn to visit each
сitу in hеr region and return hоmе. We’ll assume that еасh city is connected to
еvеrу other cities.
A 10 сitу tour has аbоut 181,000 possible ѕоlutiоnѕ
and a 20 сitу tour hаѕ about 1015 ѕоlutiоnѕ! Rаthеr thаn tеѕting еасh роѕѕiblе
rоutе (the brutе fоrсе аррrоасh), which turns оut to be соmрutаtiоnаllу
impossible for еvеn mоdеѕtlу large numbеrѕ of сitiеѕ, еvоlutiоnаrу algorithms
enable уоu to create various rаndоm routes (the “parent” ѕеt), select
the ѕhоrtеѕt rоutеѕ frоm thаt random set, аftеrwаrd сrоѕѕ-оvеr the раrеntѕ to
рrоduсе a set of “child” rоutеѕ. Thе ѕhоrtеѕt rоutеѕ аrе thеn сhоѕеn
from thiѕ nеw рооl of раrеnt аnd child rоutеѕ, and thе process iѕ repeated
until thе uѕеr stops thе рrосеѕѕ оr thе аlgоrithm соnvеrgеѕ оn thе shortest
rоutе.
Stephanie Ness, certified and influential specialist on evolutionary algorithms
Stephanie Ness’s is known for the creation of
“Cellular Automata” and fuzzy clustering applications to set up new algorithms
in stochastic AI environments. Her applications of evolutionary algorithms to
security applications in Artificial Intelligence are very interesting from an
operations research point of view. Cellular automata are discrete, conceptual
computational frameworks that have demonstrated helpful both as general models
of multifaceted nature and as more representations of non-linear elements in an
assortment of scientific fields.
The use of cellular automata has increased over the
years & served as the best human cognition mimicry. They are used in:
Robust face recognition that reads faces as landmarks and
contours. However, this is an effective means of biometric analysis and has
been in adoption ever since.
Camera model means mapping from world to image coordinates, e.g.
3D to 2D transformation and is interdependent with a number of parameters.
Parameter-less body model extraction from a few CCTV camera images can be done
by the aid of the cellular automata.
The artificial intelligence is incorporated into many devices
especially all smart systems. Smart systems include functions of actuation,
sensing as well as control in its operations. The artificial intelligence has
led to the production of robots. Robotics is a higher version of artificial
intelligence. Robots have different roles and can be used for various purposes.
Artificial intelligence combines a higher level of Deep learning in many
activities.
VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and gaming
applications all use the cellular automata. The AR involves the use of sensory
nerves in making a computerized world come into reality.
Mrs Ness believed that in the years to come,
algorithms will dominate and influence power structures in the world and will
make the world a more just place, as they are only as bias as their sole
creator. She created simulations in C++ that have been embedded into a Java
program and in C# and she presented her work in Copenhagen and at the
University of Cambridge in the UK.
In one of her recent research “Understanding Beauty
Using Evolutionary Cycles of Cellular Automata”, Ness explains how the
cellular evolutionary algorithms (CEA), a type of evolutionary algorithm
arbitrarily prevented individuals from mating but facilitate their own
interaction with their neighbours. It is from this interaction that a basic
evolutionary algorithm is applied in the population. The EA involves the
processes of selection, variation or replacement.
Cellular Automata has been in existence since the 1970s. Till today, new discoveries have been made which have modified the activities of the cellular automata.

believing that what she was doing was subject to the laws of destiny and that
it was destiny that made the decisions for her. However, her years of
experience have taught her that there is no destiny. What leads all human
beings to move from one country to another, to evolve, to change the way of
seeing life is “love”.
Cheryl
has been involved in a lot of philanthropic activities, one of the major
асhiеvеmеntѕ was a foundation in Estonia that helps people with autism develop
marketable skills and bring them, industry clients. Autism means being
different in a number of ways. And being different comes with a lot of stigmas,
hence the people affected are limited to an array of opportunities. It is very
difficult to secure lucrative work in Estonia for people with autism and the
majority are unemployed – even though there are lots of smart people with very
special valuable skills. The main focus of her foundation is providing good
working conditions that even allow remote work.
Her
foundation is also committed to providing direct services, family support
grants, education, advocacy and recreational opportunities with the purpose of
improving the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families.
The foundation also devotes to making people aware of Autism and the effects it has on children and their families. The diagnosis of Autism is an emotional one for families, and her Foundation wants people to know that they are not alone. It is the organization’s desire and dedication to promoting events for Autism Awareness so that present and future children and adults along with their families who face this battle will have strong support to embrace differences.
There’s no place like home. Due to rising rent, gentrification
and a recent economic surge, the city of India, Pune, is in dire need of
affordable housing.
“While we are in the real estate development arena for modest income families, our real estate focus in on community and uplifting families.” says Dr Gaurav Somani, Director of Calyx Group. There are many more sectors acknowledging that every successful and competitive community looking to compete in a global marketplace needs people, many of whom need affordable housing. There are multiple new partners at the table, from corporate leaders to the business community, academia, philanthropic community and local and state governments. The difference between Calyx group and most other real estate developers is a vision this group shares to make our community great for all citizens. Facilitating buyers with PMAY and other government schemes, the brand has catered hundreds of home buyers with the enhancement in their lifestyle quotient.

connectivity, live ability as well as capital values. Lifestyle-friendliness,
quality social infrastructure and excellent connectivity are some determining
factors that single out residential destinations created by Calyx Group.
Dr Gaurav Somani – Director, Calyx Group
Spreading Wings in other
Market Segments
Indian Agriculture has been and continues to be the cornerstone
of the Indian economy for thousands of years. Considering the impulsion in
agricultural export, lush green ‘Somani Farms’, a 900 acres of Sugarcane farm
in the lap of Baramati was formed and today it is the largest high-tech farm in
Maharashtra.
Dr. Gaurav Somani’s original thinking, unique character, and
diverse viewpoints made him establish a lasting rapport in the other industries
right from steel plants to media and entertainment.
One of his ventures ‘The Break Room’ has emerged as India’s best
extravagant restaurant chain with the delight for all the food connoisseurs.
“Stepping into hospitality is not enough. Creating milestone with continuing
this fast-paced momentum is something different.” Says Dr. Gaurav Somani. The
brand’s focus is to create consumer relevance and confidence through unprecedented
quality and care and produce developer value by offering fair franchise terms,
a competitive fee model, best-in-class support and a connection to Best India’s
expansive scale-which is certainly important in advancing hotels’ negotiating
power and creating advantageous environment.
The rising popularity
tells the story
While Calyx Group has certainly captured the attention of
today’s buyer it has also proven its ability to deliver impressive results in
the adverse market dynamics. Thousands of unsold inventories awaiting home
buyers are left in Pune. Real estate industry is grappling with problems like
buyer’s mindset post RERA, worsening of economic crises, demography and age of
buyer, simulated options of affordable homes. Calyx Group dealt with all these
issues with a smart digital move. A user-friendly smartphone application is
ready to assist the home buyers for 24X7.

through www.calyxgroup.co.in
Dr. Gaurav Somani says, “In 2020 Calyx shall spread across 1 billion sq. ft. in Pune and in hospitality we aim to go pan India. From investment point of view, the real estate market is indeed more stable than the stock market. In the long term tends to pay off handsomely. Real estate is all about location, specifications, pricing, and execution, and investors rarely have much insight beyond their immediate location. In transactions, more access to information, more consolidated and professional management, and a slate of new technology-driven firms that offer a paradigm shift in the way we invest in real estate, are combining together to make it easy for the investors to profit from the world’s largest asset class.”

Vision Digital India under the umbrella of Imperial Group has launched a course that aims to bring digital education to 1 lakh students in the upcoming 4-5 years. This course will equip the youth with digital and analytical skills, which are much sought-after by the corporate sector.
Many bright young minds today do not get to live their dreams of making
it big in the corporate world, simply because there exists an immense divide
between the education that has been imparted to them and industry requirements.
The core problem is that the industry is upgrading itself at such a breakneck
speed that most educational institutions cannot keep up. That is why the
courses they offer are becoming dated and obsolete, and students armed with
such degrees find themselves to be inadequately trained to make the cut in a
highly-competitive industry.
“This is what Vision Digital India had in mind when it created a course
that is precisely tailored to meet the demands of the corporate world, and
ensure that students are industry-ready. Through its endeavour, Vision Digital
India is trying to make PM Narendra Modi’s flagship campaign Digital India a
resounding success and it is succinctly summed up in their motto ‘Enable
Digital’,” said Dr Hari Krishna Maram, Chairman, Vision Digital India, on
asking about this endeavour.
To turn aspirations into reality, Vision Digital India has incorporated
niche technology into its course-structure to make it industry-relevant.
Employers don’t just look into a candidate’s scorecard but what truly works in
a student’s favour is how quickly he/she can be inducted into the workforce.
And, this calls students for acquiring a better understanding of new and advanced
technological concepts like data science, cloud and analytics, forming the
backbone of an industry.
What sets the course apart is the fact that Vision Digital India is
bringing to the table top-notch education at extremely affordable prices. What
adds to its USP is that it has joined hands with the likes of Google, IBM, and
Amazon, to rope in their technical know-how. For example, the analytics
certificate comes from IBM and Google certifies the Digital Marketing course.
Moreover, Vision Digital India has secured the help of industry
professionals who know the real world, how it works, latest updates and
requirements, and what employers expect from employees. Who is better to
instruct and train students than those men and women who have been working in
the corporate world?
But, how does it go about it? Vision Digital India approaches colleges
to implement its course. As per university regulations, the duration of the
course is set at 80 hours. The bulk of it, around 60% is dedicated to hands-on
training and the remaining 40% is all about theories.
“To cap it all, this course teaches students a novel way to compose their resume. They are encouraged to craft their dream CV and then they are inspired to strive to achieve it. Moreover, they are given useful insights into the nuances of the corporate interview procedure and tips to ace such interviews. Once the course is successfully concluded, students are awarded a certificate during a convocation ceremony along with a LinkedIn badge”, adds Dr Hari Krishna Maram.
The founder Chairman Dr Hari Krishna Maram has also received the Most
Prestigious International Icon Award 2019 at Indo-Thai Economic Forum Gala
Event, Bangkok through Vision Digital India, providing Digital skills and
creating employment opportunities to the youth.
It is a win-win scenario for all the players, including students, Vision Digital India and participating colleges. Students interact with trainers one-on-one and get ample opportunities to clear their doubts. Colleges benefit because this course expands campus placement and attendance too shoots up. And, it is cost-effective for Vision Digital India because they utilize the computer laboratories of the host college.
With the focus of Vision Digital India being on niche technology, job orientation, and campus placement, the course enhances desirability and employability, and that is why students stand to benefit from it.
The sight of two teenagers guiding a closed-door CXO meeting on the marketing strategy for the company’s new product launch is something that can leave us all in awe of the talent that the founders of AS Designs possess. Hashif T P and Lazim Masoud, co-founders of AS Designs were born and bred in Kerala and can easily pass off as the teen supporting leads in the next version of Deadpool, but when you spend 30 minutes with them over the table on a discussion on ‘digital marketing tactics’, you (and yes you), will emerge a changed man.
Both Lazim and Hashif knew digital marketing was their
calling the moment they started their self-learning journey that involved
spending late hours trying to accumulate knowledge through online platforms.
Armed with hunger to learn, dreams to succeed and discipline to follow through,
these two young entrepreneurs slowly but surely expanded their skill set by
learning web designing, graphic designing and coding. With humble beginnings as
freelancers backed by Computer Science degrees, they followed their passion
without compromising on the principle of “learning from mistakes.”
Fast forward 3 years, and this principle has come in good stead when we look at the firm they have built from scratch. AS Designs started out with only these two entrepreneurs who have grown the team to a total of 50+ young enthusiasts shaping the core marketing decisions of global brands. AS Designs plays a crucial role in a brand’s journey through various services such as Branding, Software Development, Mobile App Development, Web Development, Web Designing and SEO. While these services are provided by multiple players, what’s unique about AS Designs is the fact that the founders bring in a ‘fresh and larger-than-life’ perspective to their ideas thanks to their youthful approach which allows them to think out-of-the-box.
What is really promising to learn is that they treat
every client as a ‘partner’ and not as a ‘revenue-generating channel’, which
reflects in the end result. Further, they seem to be gifted with foresight and
understand the responsibility as leading voices of the digital marketing
industry, given that they recently launched “Appsys” – an academy for young,
budding talent (irrespective of age), to learn app development, web and graphic
designing as well as digital marketing. Lazim and Hashif’s joint ambition is to
create opportunities for young talent that often find it difficult to afford
courses and end up wasting their potential. Nothing pleases them more than
seeing young India create and introduce hard-hitting concepts and strategies
that can be adopted across the world. The future looks promising both for AS
Designs as well as their academy, as they set sights on ‘300 happy customers
