*ABOUT SOWKEA AGRO*
Successful entrepreneur, Mr R.B.Sivakumar hails from a humble farming family and community. But his education, zeal and exploration of career opportunities led to diversifying and becoming a reputed Engineering Component Manufacturer.

He successfully founded Vignesh Polymers, a key component manufacturing firm for category leaders in the automobile and consumer electronics sector. Today he takes the credit for turning it into a 200 crore plus turnover brand.

However, the burning desire was to always give something concrete back to his farming community. His reverence for farming and his sincere appreciation for the hard toil of farmers and their plight, buoyed him to start “Sowkea Agro”

Mr. R.B. Sivakumar, speaking at the launch said, “Tender Springz is an innovative option of a healthy new age cold drink. Ease and convenience is desired by a younger generation. Tender Springz is part of Sowkea Agro’s philosophy of protecting the farmers’ interests, restoring their pride, ensuring fair compensation and a sustained income for their efforts. I strongly advocate responsible sourcing and fair farmer compensation. The consumer should have access to a healthier choice of food and beverages.”

Chennai, Tamil Nadu Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Chennai in the celebration of 109th double tenth day of ROC (Taiwan) organised a reception at Leela Palace Hotel on 8th October 2020.
The theme of the event is “Recover & Prosper Together: Taiwan can help”. Its purpose is to promote New South Bound Policy, encourage more Taiwanese companies to invest in South India and build up Taiwanese cluster to restructure supply chain in the post-COVID-19 era.

As the global community continues to fight against COVID-19, a review of the past year shows Taiwan to have displayed resilience in containing the pandemic. Thanks to the concerted efforts of government and private sector, the Taiwan Model of employing a
democratic approach to epidemic prevention has successfully contained the spread of COVID-19 with less than 550 confirmed cases and 7 deaths. Taiwan proactively assists to other
countries, showing the world that Taiwan can help and Taiwan is helping.

By the end of August, Taiwan had donated 54.4 million medical masks and other critical supplies to over 8 countries, including India for 1 million high-quality masks. Recognising Taiwan effort, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo publicly stated that Taiwan’s
“openness and generosity in the global battle against COVID-19 is a model for the world”.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, Taiwan has planned ahead and would like to engage with like-minded partners to develop new supply chains based on shared values and also to ensure new supply chains are secure and free from political coercion, which will eventually
reinforce Taiwan New Southbound Policy.

Taiwan ranks number 15 in the global ease of doing business and at the current stage, Taiwan has already deepened its roots of economic cooperation in South India. Especially in Tamil Nadu, Taiwan has more than 20 major companies’ investments, like Foxconn, Delta
Electronics, Feng Tay Group, Grobest Feeds Corporation India Limited, TSMT Technology India, Zhen Ding Tech and others. The investments were estimated more than 1.7 Billion USD, for the productions of smartphones, electronics components, industrial equipment, fishery, textile and footwear, which have hired more than one lakh human resources. Moreover,there is also news disclosing that Pegatron is ready to set up a manufacturing unit in South India

Mr Ben Wang, the Director General of Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Chennal says, “It makes sense to further develop and strengthen the mutually beneficial relationship between Taiwan and India in the post-pandemic era. That is the reason why the theme of our National Day celebration this year is RECOVER AND PROSPER TOGETHER.”

Taiwan and India are natural allies with shared values in many aspects, and both are complementary to each other for further collaborations. Under this background, it is expected that the success of New Southbound Policy and the Economic Cooperation between Taiwan and India are to be continued and flourished.

Taiwan, a towering beacon of democracy, in its 10th anniversary, will continue to shine the light of freedom and democracy across the globe. Taiwan will bolster cooperation with like-minded countries, like India, to jointly recover from COVID-19 pandemic as well as seek prosperity together.

About Taipei Economic and Cultural Center:

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Chennai represents the interests of Taiwan in the southern states and territories of India, functioning as a de facto consulate in the absence of diplomatic relations. It was established in 2012. It is headed by a Representative, currently Mr Ben Wang

~ More than 4000 professionals and enthusiasts on a collective effort towards ‘Nation Building’

Conceptualised and carefully curated by Seshu Karthik – an Entrepreneur by heart, the campaign revolves around building a better Nation for tomorrow with a collective effort from each one of us. ‘BORN IN BHARAT’ started as a single idea of bringing people together for the Nation and evolved into a broader holistic initiative considering the past, present, and future. It aims to function in three stages – take pride of the past glories of the country, drive growth for today’s progress, and create a vision for a stronger tomorrow.

Launched on 14th September 2020. The campaign instantly caught the eyes of the citizens and earned more than 3500 tweets on the launch day. It was national trending on Twitter for 3-4 hours. It has taken the approach to Empower Individuals to build an Empowered Nation.

‘BORN IN BHARAT’ was launched in association with Bhumi Organization and Young Indians Chennai. The launch campaign encouraged people to be part of Nation building with a 2-prong approach. First, people are encouraged to snap and share a photo of a Bharat moment. This ignites a conversation about the Nation. Next, people are prompted to do their bit and create an impact. There are 3 suggested ways to create an immediate impact – Lead, Contribute and Participate.

‘BORN IN BHARAT’ aims to provide technology and digital mediums to bring in collaborative growth avenues for people in various verticals and age groups. It also offers growth avenues for students to hone their skills or finding work opportunities, hence enabling a stronger tomorrow for the country.
The team had also launched an emotion evoking video with questions we all should answer to ourselves. This is being followed by BHARAT POLL in which several hundred people participated to express how they can contribute to Nation-building.

The ‘Solve for Bharat’ aspect of this initiative has invited ideas to solve some trivial and serious situations in our Nation. The problem statements include day-to-day situations like optimised water consumption, reduction in plastic wastes, cycle-friendly cities and small yet critical topics like traffic regulation near schools, dining experience in college canteens, freeing the aisle in aircrafts, etc.

“We believe that a Nation’s prosperity is the collective prosperity of its people. The objective is to strengthen the aspects of Pride, Growth, and Vision to the people of Bharat. To begin the journey towards Nation-building, let us together choose the Give-First approach… followed by Growth-Next activities.” – Seshu Karthick, the ideator of this initiative

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Nagaraj Krishnan, Managing Director, Aparajitha Corporate Service Private Limited said, “The corporate governance culture is picking up across organisations globally as the governance landscape is rapidly changing. As regulatory and statutory compliance is considered as high risk category by most Organisations our product has been a welcomed platform by many. Compfie is our global e-Governance compliance platform which is designed to translate the applicable regulatory compliance knowledge and drive organisations compliance performance. Compfie acts as a Risk mitigation tool which addresses the board room worry that arises out of regulatory compliance risks for the Board of Directors and Investors.

SuperBottoms began when a new mother was looking for high-performance cloth diapers and she found that there was a major need for products that combined the convenience of disposable diapers in the goodness of cloth.

When Pallavi’s baby got his first diaper rash, she realised the negative impact of disposable diapers on babies’ skin and also how the diapers were extremely harmful for the environment with each diaper lasting 500+ years. On the other hand, traditional cloth nappies, though very skin friendly, are difficult to manage. That is when Pallavi began exploring other options.

Thus was born SuperBottoms, a brand of reusable and washable cloth diapers. SuperBottoms is a four year old company now and has a very loyal base of customers. The registered name of the company is Navashya Consumer Products Private Limited.

SuperBottoms makes cloth diapers for babies from newborn till the child gets toilet trained. They are a skin friendly and eco-friendly alternative to disposable diapers. The diapers being reusable also turn out to be an economical diapering option for babies.

SuperBottoms also makes other baby hygiene products like organic cotton nappies and padded underwears for toilet training of babies and other accessories related to diapering like waterproof cloth bags, diaper backpacks.

SuperBottoms is India’s first CPSIA certified cloth diaper brand and we use 100% certified organic cotton in our products. It is India’s no. 1 cloth diaper brand (as per data by Amazon) and has been voted the no. 1 eco-friendly diaper brand by Kids Stop Press Awards in 2017 & 2018.

SuperBottoms is an all parents team with moms being at the core of the team who carefully design the products keeping the comfort and safety of the babies in mind. SuperBottoms runs a cloth diaper helpline which provides support across platforms to new customers who require hand holding in their journey with cloth diapering. The helpline is run by a team of very passionate mothers who have used the products and want to help others too in their journey. Our team always worked remotely from different cities of India, even before the pandemic, which helps the mothers to balance their work and life. SuperBottoms also has a very loyal set of mothers called Supermitr who are passionate about spreading awareness about cloth diapers in their communities which is a very unique and effective channel of promotion as when it comes to their babies, mothers trust other mothers the most.

Angel funding led by Titan Capital, a venture capital firm of Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal along with Venture Catalysts. Early 2020, SuperBottoms raised funds from DSG Consumer Partners in a pre-series A round.

• Robot to minimize Nursing interference in COVID-19 treatment
• Developed at Ganesan Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center at AV Campus, Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation

Chennai, 23rd April 2020: There is a growing concern over the spread of the novel coronavirus among medical professionals and frontline healthcare workers. To address this issue, a group of Electrical Engineering students and faculty from AVIT (Aarupadai Veedu Institute of Technology) Chennai, Vinayaka Mission’s Research Foundation (Deemed to be University) along with duo entrepreneurs Mr Premnath and Mr Subramanian have developed a robot called V2 Buddy at the ‘Ganesan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre’. This helps to reduce contact between frontline healthcare nursing staff and Covid-19 patients.

V2 Buddy was today demonstrated at Vinayaka Mission’s Super Speciality Hospital “VIMS” at Salem and deployed in Vinayaka Missions Medical Colleges at Salem, Puducherry and Karaikkal.
V2 Buddy – the Nursing Robot can assist nursing interface by checking the body temperature level of COVID-19 patients, dispensing sanitizing hand rub, delivering medicines and food, enable the nursing staff to interact with COVID 19 patients remotely through video and audio interface from their nursing stations. This helps to minimizes the nursing staff from getting exposed to infection.

This sophisticated nursing robot can be controlled remotely through an app installed on a smartphone by the nursing staff. A Voice enabled Nursing Call facility is also made available through ‘V2 Buddy Call’ through which the Patients in isolation can speak to Nursing Staff in the Nursing Station whenever required for clinical support and counselling.

Mr Premnath, one of the developers said, “V2 Buddy was created after considering the inputs given by the medical and nursing teams of VIMS, the Super Speciality Hospital Unit of Vinayaka Mission Group. They provided guidance on the day-to-day operations and activities of nursing staff in an isolation ward which we attempt to enable through this robot.”

Mr Subramanian, the co-creator explained “The new age gizmo V2 Buddy will be operated using Bluetooth technology and remote sensors from a control console which will be in the hands of the nurse, who will be able to talk to the patient directly.”

“The Ganesan Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (GIEC) at Vinayaka Mission provided us an ideal platform to build this robot with access to resources, technical support, working space and financial aid” said Prof. Dr. L. Chitra – HOD Electrical and Electronics department, member of steering committee for GIEC, AVIT Chennai and guide for nursing Robot project.

Dr. Meenakshi Sundaram, Medical Director, of Vinayaka Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS) said, “V2 Buddy is akin to a remote controlled bomb disposal device, as it helps us achieve minimal contact from confirmed COVID-19 patients and still providing adequate care to them. We are glad that we have come up with this new age gizmo which is the need of the hour.” Commenting on this, Dr. Ganesan, Chancellor, Vinayaka Mission Group said “The vision of this GIEC’s Business Incubator is to identify & support potential entrepreneurs and students in developing Minimum Viable Products (MVP) thereby making their dream concept come true and essentially to curtail the import burden by indigenization of products in line with ‘Make in India’ vision of Government of India”

VMRF is planning to donate two of these nursing robots to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in Chennai and at the Indira Gandhi Government Hospital, Puducherry. The production and capacity of ‘V2 Buddy’ will be scaled up according the demand in the market.
