SHELL LUBRICANTS UNVEILS THE ‘POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS’ CAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE INDUSTRY COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIPS

Shell Lubricants Extends its brand promise of ‘Together Anything is Possible’ to help the industry achieve operational efficiency together


  Shell Lubricants, the global market leader in finished lubricants, today launched “Power of Partnerships” in Mumbai, to encourage industry collaboration and harness relationships to achieve operational efficiency together. The campaign is an extension of ‘Together, Anything is Possible’ (TAIP), the first global brand positioning for Shell B2B Lubricants, introduced last year. Moving forward from TAIP which first introduced the concept of reducing ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ (TCO), power of Partnerships’ aims to demonstrate the significance of powerful collaborations in advancing industries and helping companies overcome their challenges now and in the future.
Highlighting the message of forging strong alliances, Shell launched ‘The Bat Doctor’ video, featuring Mr. Ram Bhandari, a celebrity bat doctor, who has made bats for cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, to name a few. The video demonstrates the importance of striking the right partnerships across situations to brew a solution for success; just as the cricketers’ bats were instrumental to their own.

As part of its renewed focus on building greater collaboration with customers, Shell Lubricants undertook a study to understand lubrication practices in the manufacturing and construction sectors in India. Findings reveal that India’s manufacturers are engaged and optimistic about Industry 4.0 technologies, with 46% of those surveyed anticipating that the resulting savings could exceed INR 33 million. India’s construction companies on the other hand recognise the benefits of a proactive maintenance approach but are not necessarily succeeding in its implementation. 86% of those surveyed believe that effective equipment maintenance can lead to cost savings, but 82% still feel that maintenance is often deprioritised until there is a breakdown. An absence of senior management engagement in the importance of maintenance has come to light as one barrier to effective preventative action.

The findings shed significant light on lack of expertise, third-party support combined with under-resourced teams, hindering the widespread uptake of new technologies and effective lubrication practices. There are also concerns about the implications on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with majority companies expecting TCO to increase as a result of introducing new technologies.
In light of this, collaboration will be key to unlocking progress. Optimising lubrication can have a significant impact on component life, maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime, and as such, can contribute to reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and improved equipment productivity.

With the ‘Power of Partnerships’ campaign, Shell Lubricants, together with OEMs and industry experts, aims to help bridge the gap, with the industry knowledge, people & expertise, and strong relationships to help deliver value to customers and support them in daily maintenance challenges. Shell today offers its expert technical services, including a mobile chat application called LubeChat, designed to help customers upskill their teams and provide the services they need to implement effective equipment lubrication.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Troy Chapman – Vice President, Global B2B and OEM Marketing, Shell Lubricantssaid, “As a part of our continuing promise on building greater collaborations with our customers, Shell Lubricants has undertaken an extensive exercise to understand the current lubrication practices and core challenges that affect industrial operations. Companies realise that proper maintenance is important but are not set up to succeed. Maintenance teams are under strain, and lacking knowledge around effective lubrication. Hence, we are aligning our Global outlook to reach out to our customers better, offer our people expertise to ensure we can all power progress together.”

Adding to this, Ms. Mansi Tripathy, Country Head of Shell Lubricants India Cluster said, “At Shell Lubricants, we pride ourselves on working closely together with customers to help improve their equipment maintenance practices and enhance their competitive advantage, now and in the future. This sharing of expertise will become only more valuable to help companies navigate the changes that lie ahead. We have helped companies in India achieve cost savings of close to INR 57 crores as of today, helping them enhance their competitive advantage.”

 ‘Shell Lubricants’ collectively refers to Shell Group companies engaged in the lubricants business. Shell sells a wide variety of lubricants to meet customer needs across a range of applications. These include consumer motoring, heavy-duty transport, mining, power generation and general engineering. Shell’s portfolio of lubricant brands includes Shell Helix, Shell Rimula, and Shell Advance. 

Shell’s world-class technology is applied in our products and technological collaborations. We have four leading lubricants research centres in Germany, the USA, and Japan (in a joint venture with Showa Shell) with more than 200 scientists and engineers dedicated to lubricants research and development.

Shell is one of the most diversified international oil company in India's energy sector. It is a major private sector supplier of crude products and chemicals to India. With over 7000 staff in the country, Shell has a significant technology centre, a financial business services centre and operates a joint venture LNG receiving and re-gasification terminal. Earlier this year, it signed MOUs for a floating LNG terminal in the country. Shell also has a downstream business marketing fuels, lubricants and specialty products. It recently announced creation of an in-house global IT centre in Bengaluru.

Shell Lubricants’ India operation is part of Shell’s long-term commitment to India and its support for the country's increasing energy needs. Shell Lubricants’ customers in India include Wartsila, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Ford and Thermax

Abbott’s New PediaSure ® Cookies & Cream ensures Summer Break is a good #timetogrow for Children

 Cookies & Cream flavoured PediaSure is packed with 37 vital nutrients which support a child's growing height, weight and energy requirements
 PediaSure offers an optimal balance of taste and nutrition for the high activity summer break
 Actress Lara Dutta is inspiring Indian parents to incorporate this healthy and tasty addition to their child’s plate

"Is my child eating right?", is a concern many young parents face with their children. As kids enjoy their high activity summer break, it is important for parents to offer a complete and balanced nutrition and ensure their kids’ growth is not compromised. There's now a nutritious and tasty option to address this concern as Abbott introduces the all new PediaSure flavour, Cookies & Cream for children two years and above.

PediaSure Cookies & Cream provides complete and balanced nutrition for a growing child at nutritional risk. Packed with 37 vital nutrients, it supports a child's growing height, weight and energy requirements. During summer vacation, fun takes centrestage and discipline about nutrition is often broken as children consume unhealthy foods or eat at irregular times. Two servings (morning and evening) of PediaSure go a long way towards building immunity as well as physical and brain development in children – and the new flavour is great for children who are very selective in their taste preferences.

With summers in full swing, and schools closed for holidays, it is the perfect time to keep activity levels up and good health at its peak for school-going kids. At the launch event, Actress Lara Dutta, mother to a six-year-old, spoke about the importance of optimum nutrition in holistic child growth.
"During summers, my daughter is filled with ideas – to play new games, places to go and have lots of uninterrupted fun. I am sure all young ones look forward to the summer break the same way. While children are excited about holidays, parents often stress about how they can engage them effectively and ensure that they eat right. My daughter has very strong taste preferences, and I am on the look-out for food options that are not just healthy but also tasty and packed with nutrients," she said, as she shared her experience of raising her child.

Amal Kelshikar, Country Head & General Manager - India at Abbott Nutrition shared, “We understand how parents worry about their kids' complete nutrition and growth, particularly so in the summer break time when meal-time discipline becomes flexible and play time takes centerstage.

PediaSure is the No. 1 brand recommended by pediatricians all around the world. PediaSure is a scientifically proven supplement to improve linear growth without excess weight gain in children at
nutritional risk. We have added to PediaSure a delicious twist, with the new Cookies & Cream flavour that will appeal to every child's palate while offering them the healthy nutrition they need.""Summer is not just a season – it’s an opportunity to refresh, relax, learn and grow, for kids. I often meet moms who come to me for advice on a balanced diet for their kids. I always recommend a lot of outdoor play, minimal screen time on television and phone, and most importantly, I tell them not to lose focus on balanced nutrition. Children’s diet should be wholesome, healthy and have the right blend of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals to support their growth and development needs,” said Dr Indu Khosla, practicing pediatrician at Cloudnine Hospital.

“A child’s formative years, two to six years, lay the foundation for motor, cognitive, social, and emotional skills for life. During this period, children witness rapid linear growth, continued development of organs and neural expansion. Therefore, this is the time when children have specific nutritional requirements and high energy needs. Along with a variety of foods to ensure a balanced diet, for some children it is imperative to introduce an oral nutrition supplement formulated to take care of nutrient requirements for this age so that they do not miss out on overall growth,” said Dr Eileen Canday, HOD Nutrition & Dietetic Department, Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, at the launch.

PediaSure Cookies & Cream is available nationwide at most major retailers and online. To learn more about your child's wholesome nutrition, visit PediaSure.in OR Facwcebook.com/PediaSureIndia.

Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers



  • 6.28” Full Optic AMOLED Display with 19:9 aspect ratio, and Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845 to deliver immersive viewing experience and smooth performance
  • OnePlus 6 x Marvel Avengers Limited Edition unveiled exclusively with 8GB RAM and 256 GB RAM for the OnePlus community in India

 OnePlus announced its latest premium flagship device, the OnePlus 6. The OnePlus 6 – the first in OnePlus' line of flagships to feature an all-glass design – is the company's most sophisticated handset to date.

With a 6.28-inch Full Optic AMOLED 19:9 display – OnePlus' largest-ever screen – the OnePlus 6 offers an immersive viewing experience, while keeping a similar form factor to that of the OnePlus 5T.  Combining new technology from Qualcomm® with OnePlus' engineering, the OnePlus 6 is the fastest handset the company has ever produced. 

"With the OnePlus 6, we challenged ourselves to deliver an external design as smooth and elegant as the work we've done inside the device," said OnePlus Founder and CEO Pete Lau. "We're proud of what we've accomplished, and we hope our users are too."

Commenting on the launch, Manish Tiwary, Vice President – Category Management, Amazon India said “We are thrilled to announce the exclusive launch of OnePlus 6 on Amazon.in, inarguably one of the most awaited smartphones this season. OnePlus 6 is a dream smartphone for all gadget enthusiasts with industry leading features and design. With this launch, we continue to build a strong portfolio in the smartphones category providing customers with the widest exclusive selection, best value and unmatched shopping experience.”

Fast and Smooth Experience
Addressing a common pain point among smartphone users, OnePlus.in is committed to ensuring its phones remain as fast and smooth as the day they came out of the box. OnePlus achieves this goal through a combination of powerful hardware and intelligent software which work seamlessly together. The OnePlus 6 is powered by one of the most powerful processors on the market, the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845, which improves performance by 30%, while being 10% more power efficient. Coupled with the Adreno 630, which is 30% faster than the previous generation, the OnePlus 6 is a powerhouse for everything from streaming HD video to playing graphically intense games.  

With up to 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, the OnePlus 6 effortlessly switches between multiple apps running at the same time without a single second of lag, allowing users to multitask with ease. The OnePlus 6's dual-lane storage, based on UFS 2.1, ensures faster app loading and read/write speeds.  

Bolder Design 
As with any OnePlus device, the OnePlus 6 is beautiful and functional in equal measure – now, with more screen than ever before. To provide users with as much screen real estate as possible, OnePlus designed the navigation bar so that it can be replaced with gesture control, freeing up even more viewing space for a cleaner look.

OnePlus has experimented and innovated with glass to deliver its boldest design to date. Donning an all-glass design, the OnePlus 6 facilitates better transmission of radio waves, providing users with up to 1 gigabit of download speed. Due to its strength and malleability, OnePlus used Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and the back of the device, shaping it with slight curves to create an uninterrupted look and feel.

OnePlus' meticulous attention to detail is reflected in each of the OnePlus 6's color variants: Mirror Black, Midnight Black and a limited-edition Silk White. For the Mirror Black and Midnight Black variants, OnePlus embedded a thin layer of film underneath the glass to create a sense of depth as light and shadow move on the device. A jagged texture was etched onto the film of the MidnightBlack to produce a subtle S-shaped line when the phone is reflected in light. The limited-edition Silk White uses pearl powder to create a subtle shimmering effect. 

High-speed Dual Camera with Optical Image Stabilization  
The OnePlus 6’s dual camera system features a 16MP main camera, supported by a 20MP secondary camera. With an f/1.7 aperture, the 16MP main camera has been bolstered by a 19 percent larger sensor and OIS for outstanding performance in a range of lighting conditions. With Advanced HDR, OnePlus' improved High Dynamic Range algorithm, the OnePlus 6 brings out shadows and enhances lighting in photos.  Portrait Mode will be available on the OnePlus 6's front camera as well as its rear. Using AI, the front camera is able to apply a depth of field effect to selfies. Newly added bokeh effects, including circles, hearts and stars offer new ways for users to customize their portraits. 

The OnePlus 6 marks the introduction of OnePlus' Slow-Motion mode, which can capture high-definition video frame-by-frame with astonishing detail, ensuring users never miss the action. 

Android Refined – OxygenOS 
OnePlus’ operating system, OxygenOS, offers a refined Android experience that is faster, cleaner and more customizable than other Android experiences. 

Like its approach to hardware, OnePlus' approach to software is centered around an experience that is refined, efficient and minimalistic. New features are vetted by OnePlus users through channels like the OxygenOS Beta Program and only added once OnePlus is confident the features can improve the way users use their phone.  

A Day’s Power in Half an Hour 
The OnePlus 6's Dash charge – a favorite feature amongst OnePlus users – offers one of the fastest charging solutions on the global market. A half-hour charge gives the OnePlus 6 enough power for the entire day. 

Price, Availability and offers

Galaxy J6, J8, A6 and A6+ debut Samsung’s brand new ‘Make for India’ innovation that complements millennial requirements of uninterrupted video binging. Chat-over-Video allows consumers to chat through a transparent chat window and keyboard, while a video is still running. This new innovation eradicates the consumer pain point of chat interruptions while viewing content on their mobile devices. The other Make for India innovation, Samsung Mall app, brings a revolutionary new service for millennials. It uses Artificial Intelligence to let users shop by clicking a picture of the desired product and automatically getting results for the item across popular e-commerce platforms.

The primary rear camera has 16MP and F1.7 aperture, while the secondary rear camera has 5MP and F1.9 aperture. With Live Focus, a flagship feature, you can take stunning portraits with background blur. The Dual camera also helps you adjust the background blur while taking a picture or even after taking the shot, leading to portraits that make you stand out.Galaxy A6 has a 16 MP rear camera with F1.7 aperture while J6 sports a 13MP rear shooter with F1.9 aperture. The new smartphones are equipped with best in class low-aperture lenses, allowing consumers to capture sharp, clear photos in low light conditions, without sacrificing image quality no matter what time of day.

The makers of the SAT, along with partner universities, seeks to bridge gap in transition to higher education


 The College Board announced the formal launch of the India Global Higher Education Alliance during the two-day “India Global Higher Education Alliance Symposium” held at the India Habitat Center.
The India Global Higher Education Alliance is a platform for achieving three primary goals:            
  • Building a community of innovative secondary and higher education leaders who will work to improve the transition for students to higher education in India
  • Establishing a forum for sharing of global best practices so we can learn from what’s working in admissions around the world
  • Taking concrete actions to help ensure that all students, regardless of income, geography or class, can 
  • access excellent higher education 

Over the last decade, Indian higher education has made monumental strides in meeting the formidable challenge of doubling the size of its higher education system.  The College Board is convening Indian universities in order to help them to refine and drive structural improvements in that system, giving priority to how students access and prepare for the rigors of postsecondary education.
Linda Liu, Vice President International at the College Board said, “While the College Board has delivered the SAT and Advanced Placement in India for decades, the time is right for us to work closely with innovate universities in India to provide more access to underserved populations, rethink admissions in an Indian context, and ensure India’s leading universities continue to shine on the world stage.”
The Founding Members of the Alliance have all taken innovation approaches to admissions and enrolment, and are engaging in practices at the forefront of change in Indian higher education. The Affiliate Members have tackled the challenge of attracting diverse groups of students from their home countries, as well as increasing global recruitment. The goal of this Alliance is that progressive Indian universities can learn from the best practices shared by the affiliate members and adapt those practices to the current context of higher education in India.
The two-day “India Global Alliance Symposium” focused on all aspects of the Indian education system, ranging from K-12 to Higher education. Day 1 of the symposium focused on the current state of the Indian education system and an overview on the higher education enrolment channel. Day 2 explored subjects like the challenges and opportunities within the transition from secondary to higher education in India, megatrends in global higher education and international student mobility, and assessment in admission process.
The Symposium is the beginning of the work of the Alliance. Through convenings and concrete action plans, the Alliance will help ensure more of India’s neediest students have access to higher education. 
The members spoke about the possibilities and methods for the sharing of global best practices to improve the quality of education in India, ensure equitable access to it, and expanding the scope of conversation to help elevate the role of admissions in advancing the mission and agenda shared by the College Board and the Alliance members. 
 The College Board, along with its partners, are seeking to bridge the gaps in the education system by helping simplify entrance and admission processes, building the critical thinking skills needed for the future, facilitating mid- and low-income students’ access to high quality undergraduate experiences and helping Indian Universities to better recruit, admit and enrol students. The College Board also brings to India best practices of its member institutions from around the world that will focus on supporting students while fostering the development of Indian universities into world-class institutions.  

Manoj P., Registrar from Azim Premji University, which focuses on educational research, said: “As a Founding Member of this Alliance, we are excited to share ideas and learn from other institutions, both in India and abroad. We hope that this will open up opportunities for diversifying the applicant pool and enable access and equity.”
The College Board also announced the College Board India Scholars Program, wherein high achieving, low income students in India would be eligible to take the SAT at reduced costs and obtain full scholarships to India Global Alliance member universities in India that are co-funded by the College Board and Indian Alliance members. More details will be released in June.
Founding and Affiliate member universities include:
Ashoka University, Azim Premji University, Manav Rachna University, Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, FLAME University, Ahmedabad University, University of Cambridge, NMIMS University, BML Munjal University, Pomona College, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Pomona University, Purdue University, Manipal University, McGill University, University of Hong Kong
The College Board is a U.S.-based, non-profit organization that was established in 1900.
It was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of over 6,000 of the world’s leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success — including the SAT and the Advanced Placement Program.

Whatttttt ..... ?  ....  Why ? .... Where ?  ..... When ? ..... How could you ? .... Did not you meet anyone Fair to click a Lovely selfie with ?.  That was my friend Shweta's Verbal Diarrhea, after seeing the above selfie as a wallpaper on my mobile. 

Let me answer all the questions for her as well as for you all my dear friends.

What : It's my Most Magnetic selfie. it means the World to me.

Why : We both are Color-coordinated . Actually the young lady is more Dazzling with her exotic jewellery and confident pose. We interacted with each other without saying a word and still understood each other absolutely.

Where : We, the travel bloggers were attending OTM Speed Networking meet at Nesco, Goregaon and afterwords we strolled the exhibition grounds. I was fascinated with the vibrantly decorated pavilions of  Indian and Foreign countries. I enjoyed clicking many selfies in front of wonderful booths, kiosks with foreign ladies. The Egyptians were running a selfie contest, so I was trying my luck posing in front of their pavilion, But alas, I had collected so many pamphlets, brochures, souvenirs that my hands were stiffen with the load and my selfie attempts were miserable.

When : I was looking around for help... that's when this young lady in shining armour, I mean in dazzling jewelry appeared. She helped me in taking Egyptian selfie as well as happily posed with me for another. Believe me, it was not an easy task taking a perfect selfie in that crowded exhibition ground with thousands of visitors roaming around. Each time I managed to compose the frame, someone or the other will barge in from behind, spoiling the scenic background. This young lady actually managed the milling crowd by directing them away just like a traffic cop. Her striking persona with 6 feet + frame added an officious status to her hand-gestures.

How : I am just 5.2 inches while she must be 6.2 inches or above, so I was trying to fit both of us in a frame by standing a bit ahead of her but then one of my ear and chin were playing hide n seek. Without uttering a word, she pulled up a chair from the nearby pavilion, sat on it and asked me to click. So far I was trying the selfie from top angle, as taught by the selfie queen Anusha Dandekar . But now I had to capture both of us , without showing my hand , which was holding the mobile. I held the mobile in vertical position in left hand so that both of us were fully visible from low angle. 
If you watch carefully, you can catch me looking into the mobile , while my co-poser was distracted by another girl, who found my selfie-attempt funny and started clicking us unexpectedly. 

All's well, that ends well. Finally here's the Million dollar selfie, we managed smiling all the while , without understanding a single word we were saying to each other. Our mother Earth is enriched with many races , religions, castes , creeds. The diversity of different cultures, traditions and languages add colors to our mundane lives. Let's celebrate the Mother Nature and the Human-Spirit to Enjoy More 

How many times, I wished I had a better mobile with Best Selfie Camera for perfect Selfie Experience , to capture precious moments, spectacular scenes and natural beauties. If only I had the Mobiistar at that time, I could have clicked better selfie and had more time to befriend that magnetic lady. Mobiistar phone’s front, dual selfie camera captures a 120° wide-angle shot.This means that we can now get more of the picturesque background into the frame and not have to worry about fitting in everybody. Mobiistar provides affordability without any compromises. Mobiistar strives to capture hearts in India with the right technology, crisp designs, meaningful user experience, excellent service and their passionate attitude towards consumers.

Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL), the world’s leading mail and logistics company, today announced the launch of DHL SmarTrucking, to provide an innovative trucking solution across an extensive linehaul express road network in India. DHL SmarTrucking is the company’s first official move to accelerate the development of technology-enabled logistics solutions around the world, under its newly formed board department, Corporate Incubations, which was launched in April this year. The company has also appointed Neeraj Bansal, as CEO of DHL SmarTrucking, who will be responsible for leading the company’s growth in India.

“India is an incredibly important market for Deutsche Post DHL Group. Presently, road freight comprises the majority of the total freight movement and is the largest transportation segment in India,” says Juergen Gerdes, Board Member for Corporate Incubations, Deutsche Post DHL Group. “With greater efficiency from DHL SmarTrucking, we expect to transport 100,000 tonnes of cargo and cover a distance of approximately 4 million kilometers across India daily.”

DHL SmarTrucking solutions epitomize ‘TechLog’ – logistics made smarter through the use of new and emerging technologies. Following a successful three-month pilot that covered over 2,770,000 kilometers, DHL SmarTrucking leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology and data-driven insights for route optimization. This reduces transit times by up to 50 percent compared to the traditional trucking industry, and provides over 95 percent reliability with ease of use, end-to-end consignment visibility, temperature-controlled capabilities and real-time tracking.

IoT-enabled sensors monitored through the company’s centralized control tower provide real-time temperature and consignment tracking. Information alerts and status updates are also sent to customers and DHL SmarTrucking’s operations teams through the customer portal and external and internal mobile applications.

Utilizing an innovative and agile model, drivers are rotated at predetermined stops located across the country, with the original driver returning to the point of origin with another truckload.

“This transportation model not only helps optimize efficiency but also reduces fatigue among drivers who spend less time on the road, enabling them to go home to their families every two to three days,” says Malcolm Monteiro, CEO, DHL eCommerce India. “Additionally, with the demand for temperature controlled transportation in India estimated to grow at 15% per annum from 2016 to 2020[1], DHL SmarTrucking allows our customers in India to scale up and streamline their business operations to meet consumers’ needs.”

With temperature control capabilities that are fully compliant with international standards, solutions such as DHL SmarTrucking and DHL SmarTrucking Coldchain for temperature-controlled products, provide road freight solutions for all sectors, including the automotive, dairy, e-commerce, packaged foods, pharmaceuticals and Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) industries.

“DHL SmarTrucking’s emphasis on TechLog will change the game for customers in India,” said Neeraj Bansal, CEO, DHL SmarTrucking. “Leveraging the potential of the infrastructural transformations in India’s logistics ecosystem and our innovations through DHL SmarTrucking, we can help Indian businesses reach customers and markets in a faster and more secure way.”

With these initiatives the company’s goal is to capture30% Market Share in the Mirrorless Camera and Lens Market in India in the next 3-4 years.


Standout Features
(1) Equipped with a 43.8mm x 32.9mm, 51.4 MP CMOS sensor, boasting approx. 1.7x the area of full frame sensors
Both the shape of the light-gathering micro-lenses and the processing from the photodiodes have been customized to achieve a high level of sharpness and broad dynamic range. And thanks to the excellent light reception performance due to the large area of each pixel, room to spare is created in the camera's high sensitivity performance and tone reproduction, achieving high image quality exceeding that of cameras equipped with full size sensors with an equivalent number of pixels. Therefore, precise images can be reproduced down to the smallest detail, conveying the texture of the subject, a three-dimensional feeling, and even the atmosphere of the scene.
(2) Equipped with X-Processor Pro image processing engine
By using the highly rated X-Processor Pro, which is also used in the X-Pro2 and X-T2 cameras, it is possible to experience Fujifilm's acclaimed Film Simulation color reproduction with an ultra-high quality large size sensor. The Movie function also supports Full HD recording at 30p. Users can enjoy high quality video with no post-processing required by using Film Simulation modes just like they would with a still image.
(3) Compact and lightweight body with high rigidity due to the adoption of magnesium alloy
With a weight of approx. 1230g when paired with a standard lens (GF63mm F2.8 R WR), the camera weighs approx. 60% of a medium format DSLR camera equipped with a sensor of the same size. Even when compared to a DSLR camera with a slightly smaller full size sensor, the camera comes in at almost the same weight. Overall camera body height and width have also been minimized for maximum flexibility, overturning the common perceptions regarding the mobility of medium format digital cameras.
(4) 3.69M-dot organic EL electronic viewfinder and 2.36M-dot touchscreen LCD back panel
A detachable structure has been adopted which allows for flexible operation according to how the user wishes to use it. Also, by attaching the separately sold EVF-TL1 EVF tilt adapter, the angle can be changed to a maximum angle of 90° when shooting horizontal landscapes and ±45° when shooting in the portrait position. A 3.2-inch, 2.36M-dot touch panel has been adopted for the rear monitor, allowing the user to use touch operations for the selection of the menu, distance measuring points and viewing of images that have been taken. The inclusion of a three-directional tilting LCD screen improves operability and makes viewing images and checking focus even easier.
(5) Newly developed large diameter G Mount with excellent robustness and durability
Utilizing the merits of newly developing both a camera body and lenses simultaneously, the GFX 50S adopts a large diameter/short flange back mount with a diameter of 65mm and a flange back of 26.7mm. This construction improves the freedom of the optical design of the lens, greatly contributing to high image quality and miniaturization of the body.
(6) Newly developed ultra-high resolution FUJINON GF Lenses
In preparation for the future, the GF Lens series, newly designed specifically for the GFX 50S, possesses the resolving power capable of supporting a sensor with 100 MP. The lens barrel also features an aperture ring in the same manner as XF Lenses, supporting the intuitive operation of photographers. A C (=Command) Position has been newly added to the aperture ring as well, allowing users to change the aperture using the command dial on the camera's body. In order to prevent incorrect operation, the A (=Auto) Position and C Position feature a locking button installed on the aperture ring that must be disabled to implement changes.

Shreyas Shipping & Logistics Ltd, (hereinafter referred as ‘Shreyas’) a part of the 40-year-old global conglomerate Transworld group is an Indian ship owning and operating company with a prime focus on coastal container shipping and logistic services. Shreyas is a pioneer and market leader in containerised coastal shipping in India for both domestic and coastal Exim trans-shipment.

Shreyas is the largest container shipping company in India with a fleet of 13 vessels, 23143 Teus capacity, 315,722 DWT and 248,392 GRT, servicing 18 main ports in India and covers entire Indian coast and other regional areas.
Financial Performance for the year:.

Standalone revenues for the year 2017-18 stood at INR 544 cr as against INR 376 cr for FY17 which grew by 45%. EBITDA for FY18 is at INR 115 cr as against INR 50 cr during FY17 which grew by 123% and PAT stood at INR 81 cr as against INR 4 cr in FY17 which grew by 2205%. Considering share of profit of an associate and joint venture of INR 11 cr (net of tax adjustment), consolidated PAT stood at INR 92 cr for FY 18.

Global container shipping status:
The HRCI ended the first quarter of year 2018 up 19.5% from the start of the year and 19.7% higher than late March 2017.
Whilst the HRCI has been moving upward to reach 750 points by end March 2018, the SCFI (Shanghai containerised freight Index) has reduced by 20% since the start of the year and current level is at par with mid-2016.

Operational Highlights: 
Highlights of company’s contribution in the growth of containerized coastal shipping in India bringing growth in national fleet and coastal containerised volume even when faced with numerous challenges.
1.     Total containerised domestic cargo trade on the main land for the year 2017–18 was 195,000 containers as against 110,000 in 2015-16, with a growth of 77%. This corresponds to carriage and modal shift of cargo from land to sea mode as 5.85 million tons containerised cargo in the year 2017-18 as against 3.3 million tons two years earlier.
2.     SSLL’s domestic cargo trade of 109,766 containers in the year 2017-18 as against 59,521 containers in 2015-16 achieving a growth of 84%. This corresponds to carriage of 3.3 million tons containerised cargo in the year 2017-18 as against 1.8 million tons two years earlier.
3.     Shreyas handled total volume of 448,200 Teus in 2017-18 as against 331,000 Teus in the last year with a growth of 35%
4.     Besides handling containerised cargo, SSLL commenced handling coastal break bulk cargo in the 2ndhalf of year 2017 and handled 107,324 MT cargo during the year, mainly steel products of RINL and JSW, besides some project cargo. RINL commenced coastal movement of steel products for the first time venturing into modal shift from land to sea mode.
5.     Total coastal throughput at Indian ports was 1.5 million Teus in the year 2017 as against .85 million Teus in the year 2015 while SSLL’s throughput at Indian ports was 0.8 million Teus in the calendar year 2017 as against 0.45 million in 2015, achieving a growth of 78% in the two years. Growth of 90% in domestic throughput at Indian ports is indication of modal shift of cargo from land to sea mode while 55% growth in throughput of Exim volume is indication of shift of volume from foreign transshipment ports to Indian ports. Shreyas has contributed for the growth in coastal shipping on both fronts as envisaged by MOS. 
6.     To achieve the growth mentioned above, SSLL acquired 10 vessels including two multipurpose vessels of capacity totaling to 242,242 DWT and 18080 TEUS between 2015 and 2017, achieving a growth of 56% while there has been 17% CAGR increase in Indian flag container fleet from 2014 until 2017.
7.     Growth in seafarer’s employment from 2015 to 2017 has been 55 % in SSLL’s fleet. Indian shipping companies including us are training seafarers which is a big contribution to the Indian economy and providing employment to Indian seafarers. 
8.     18 major ports and container terminals in India were serviced during year 2017 by SSLL containers and break bulk coastal services on regular frequency, making 1060 port calls during the year.
9.     Indian shipping industry contributes Rs. 8000 Crores annually to the Indian economy while our company has contributed Rs.470 Crore in the year 2017-18 to the Indian economy.

Here we would like to highlight the myth regarding share of coastal shipping in over all transportation which does not seem to have changed in last many years while the growth story during last three years alone in containerised coastal segment as highlighted indicates a different story.
Another myth that if cabotage law is relaxed for Exim containers than foreign transshipment will shift to Indian terminals which is far-fetched, since the reason is not cabotage restriction but many other challenges like infrastructure and capacity constraints, high port costs, documentation procedures and largely depends on the network planning of the shipping lines. 
Based on this myth, MOS has issued General Order No. 1 of 2018 dated 21stMay 2018, which does not require a foreign flag container vesselto obtain a licence under Section 407 of the MSA to carry EXIM containers and empty containers on the coast.
The essence of this order is that there is no necessity to have an Indian flag vessel for the purposes of carriage of EXIM and empty containers between two Indian ports. While the outcome of this circular as envisaged by MOS will be seen in course of time, this may have setbacks for the Indian coastal shipping with respect to carriage of Exim transhipment containers. In the absence of a level playing field even Indian companies may consider flagging vessels outside India and operating on foreign trade, resulting our nation to lose opportunity of developing a transhipment hub port as well as growth in Indian tonnage which are important aspects for our nation.
The way forward:
We look forward to the company’s continued growth in volume handled, both on coastal container trade as well as coastal break bulk segment including expansion into new regional areas. To achieve the required growth, we will be continuously looking at better opportunities to enhance 20% growth in tonnage y-o-y both for container as well as break bulk to take care of growth potential in cargo volume in addition to our tonnage replacement plan. We continue to march ahead with mantra of growth, in all aspects of coastal and regional shipping.

 ‘Drops of Hope’ - A Project on Water Conservation and Drinking Water Security,  to be initiated in the districts of Pune, Latur and Osmanabad in Maharashtra, India

Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd, a group company of Bridgestone Corporation joined hands with The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) of India for ‘Drops of Hope’ -a Project on Water Conservation and Drinking Water Security. The partnership has been formed in collaboration with the Government of Maharashtra, Department of Water and Sanitation. The first phase of the project will be implemented in districts of Pune, Latur and Osmanabad in Maharashtra India.

Bridgestone India is contributing a sum of 3.9 Cr. INR to the project over a period of three years. The focus of the project is to develop robust drinking water security and safety plans which also involves a baseline survey to understand the existing situation as well as assess the future impact.



Maharashtra state has the highest drought prone blocks due to hard rock areas and shallow aquifers. Only half of rural households in Maharashtra have access to tap water of which only 63% is treated. Nearly 20% of rural household still depend on distant & unprotected sources for their domestic water supplies and nearly 1/6th of rural population depend on public hand pumps. Per capita water supply in state has huge disparities that can range from 21 ~129 liters per capita per day (lpcpd). (National Vision is minimum 70 lpcpd by 2020). This Project is planned with an objective of strengthening village level committees to find local solutions to Safety and Security Planning for Drinking Water throughout the year.

Bridgestone India will provide support to UNICEF in undertaking training and skill development of community members and key officials at the village, block and district level to build water supply structures and ensure their proper maintenance. Another key facet of this program is the use of innovative communication processes and tools to support positive behaviors towards water usage and management.

The foundation of this project is to work closely with the Government of Maharashtra to identify and leverage key resources for enhancing investments in infrastructure.

This partnership involves deployment of models that aim to create a mechanism to ensure drinking water security. Communities will be encouraged to access available funds set aside for village development which also encompasses water security.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Yoshikazu Shida, Member of the Board, CEO and COO, Bridgestone Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd said, “Bridgestone Corporation has always believed in contributing to their social surroundings and this belief is reflected through our mission of ‘Serving Society with Superior Quality’. This mission is also a guiding light for Bridgestone’s CSR commitment ‘Our Way to Serve’. The three key priority areas of this commitment are ‘Mobility’, ‘People’, and ‘Environment’. Bridgestone’s partnership with UNICEF is a solidified commitment towards ‘People’ and ‘Environment’. This project in India is aligned with Bridgestone’s global CSR direction, and we will be associating with various partners and causes to provide relevant sustainable solutions.”

Mr. Parag Satpute, Managing Director, Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd added, “We are glad to be associated with a prestigious organization such as UNICEF over the cause of water conservation. The state of Maharashtra has one of the highest drought prone blocks and being operational in the state, we feel responsible to aid the people especially our future generations. Water is one of the primary resources needed for the basic survival and being deprived of it has certainly periled the lives of many. Partnering with UNICEF will help us channelize our resources in an organized manner to provide sustainable solutions. We are also thankful to the Department of Water Supply and Sanitation, Government of Maharashtra, in providing their support to the cause.”   

Dr. Yasmin Ali Haque, Representative, UNICEF India, mentioned, “The scarcity of water is no longer a myth. We are seeing that around the world and we know when resources go scarce, children and women are especially more vulnerable. We are very happy that Bridgestone is supporting us to be able to demonstrate how communities can be empowered to help manage this situation. Since Maharashtra is a state where the Groundwater Act is enacted, it is most appropriate to support the demonstration to address the drinking water safety and security here. By implementing this programme in partnership with Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Government of Maharashtra we are hoping to find sustainable and scalable solutions to the drinking water scarcity problem in the state which can hopefully be further replicated across the country”.

Bridgestone Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, is the world’s largest tire and rubber company. In addition to tires for use in a wide variety of applications, it also manufactures a broad range of diversified products, which include industrial rubber and chemical products and sporting goods. Its products are sold in over 150 nations and territories around the world.

In the Asia Pacific region, Bridgestone locates its regional headquarters in Singapore, overseeing the operations of tire production and sales facilities, as well as supplying its products across more than 25 countries in the region. Bridgestone Asia Pacific plays a key role in facilitating this large and growing market as it contributes significantly to the entire Bridgestone Group.

Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd started its operations in 1996. In March 1998 with the setup of its manufacturing facility in Kheda, Madhya Pradesh, Bridgestone achieved its objective of running Indian manufactured Bridgestone tyres on Indian Roads. It expanded its facilities by setting up one more facility in Chakan, Pune in 2013. In a short stint of more than 20 years, Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd has become one of the leading tyre companies in both the OEM & Replacement market.

Bisleri  “Bottles for Change” initiative aims at educating and changing behaviour of citizens on efficient disposal and recycling of plastic.


Apart from Bisleri’s mission to ensure access to safe drinking water for every Indian, we also make a
conscious effort to keep our environment safe and healthy. It is our endeavour to give back to the
environment and the community at large.

This World environment day, Bisleri hosted a press conference to launch “BOTTLES FOR CHANGE”, a Plastic Recycling initiative that focuses on efficient disposal and recycling of plastic. The idea is to create a positive impact on the environment, ensure that it is sustainable and emphasize on the fact that plastic is a versatile material, has an afterlife and can be recycled to make many products like: Furniture (benches, chair), apparels, home decors, accessories and bags etc. For this initiative, Bisleri has partnered with 3 NGOs (Parisar Bhagini Vikas Sangh, Sampurna Earth &
Garbage Concern Welfare Society) who are associated with the members of “Bottles for Change”
across Mumbai to work towards changing behaviour of the communities in valuing plastic as an
effective resource. Users of plastic have to simply crush, clean and keep the plastic separate. The
members of “Bottles for Change” will pick it up at scheduled days and will take it to their
segregation centre. Together with the NGO’s, Bisleri is conducting plastic collection and educational
drives for communities, corporates, schools, colleges, and other institutions.

When you put plastic in your household waste, it ends up going to the dumping grounds.
Bottles for Change focuses to create a system where the members of “Bottles for Change” pick up
plastic from source, segregate it and sell it to the recyclers. The plastic collected & sold is clean and fetches almost 2x more value leading to the upliftment of the lives of members of “Bottles for
Change” and their children.

Mr Ramesh Chauhan, Chairman & MD, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd., launched the initiative by
presenting ‘Bottles for Change Kit’ that includes Plastic collection bags, Bottles for change branded
Jackets, Caps, posters and other communication material, to the three partnered NGO’s in the
initiative.

Highlights of BOTTLES FOR CHANGE initiative:

 The program aims to address the plastic issue in a very strategic manner to spread awareness about plastic being a miraculous material that can be recycled multiple times; thereby bringing a behaviour change amongst individuals, ensuring they clean, segregate and dispose plastic effectively which is then recycled and have a sustainable impact on environment
 The program helps members of “Bottles for Change” to collect large amounts of clean plastic each time, fetching them with good income that also helps in leading them to a respectable life and support to educate their children
 24 wards of Mumbai and parts of Navi Mumbai and Thane will be covered by the members of “Bottles for Change”, ensuring effective execution
 Special collection Vehicles, Collection Bins, Toll free No., Website and a hygiene kit for members of “Bottles for Change” shall be provided by Bisleri Management

Impact of Bottles for Change Programme:

 3800 Tonnes of Plastic Recycled
 3,00,000 Students Reached
 15,00,000 Citizens Reached
 Lives of 2000+ members of “Bottles for Change” Upflifted
 100+ Corporates Engaged

On this proud occasion, Ms. Anjana Ghosh, Director Bisleri International, said “Banning of plastic
has been in news for quite some time now. However, plastic is an integral part of our lives & is not trash. The issue is not plastic but with our behaviour. Plastic has to be disposed and recycled
responsibly.”

Bisleri International Pvt Ltd is the most trusted choice for mineral water for the past 50 years. Bisleri has witnessed this successful growth under the leadership of the visionary chairman and managing director, Mr. Ramesh Chauhan. Bisleri has always felt responsible towards the society and Mother Earth, and hence various activities are initiated on regular basis to help preserve the environment.
