19 September 2007 is a date which every cricket fan remembers fondly. The inaugural edition of the T20 world cup was made special by the inning which happened on this day. Late night at around 1 am, Indians burst in joy seeing the piece of leather connecting with the wood to land into the stands 6 times in an over. The cricketing world was in awe of the 36 runs in an over, scored by the flamboyant batsman, Yuvraj Singh , who made it into the history books for numerous reasons. It was not the first time someone had achieved the feat of 6 sixes in an over, but it was the first instance of it happening when the opposition was strong and the match was crucial. The six sixes and the fastest fifty coming just off 12 balls helped India win the do or die match against England by a margin of 18 runs. It also boosted the confidence of the young men in the Blue side, who went on to win the world cup. The world cup victory was the primary reason for BCCI to think about a T20 league, which eventually led to the experimental edition of IPL in 2008 which turned out to be a huge success. The success came in both terms, financial terms and popularity terms, resultant of which Indian cricket started generating revenue subsequently making the cash-rich BCCI increase its value in world cricket. All of it happened due to one man, Yuvraj Singh, who brought Indian cricket into the limelight with his feat. The sixer king has achieved numerous records, but to everyone's surprise, cricket was not the first thing he wanted to do in his life. He wanted to be a skater. It was his father Yograj Singh' s influence, who wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. Little did he know, that Yuvi would not just follow in his footsteps, but set a benchmark for every player who plays the game. His father's dedication, along with Yuvi's efforts and style gave the world one of the most stylish left-handers in the world. He dominated domestic cricket like a boss. His domination can be witnessed when the legend MS Dhoni could not help but show Yuvi's character in his biopic portraying him as a treat to watch, but a threat to the opposition. His innings of 358 being more than an entire score of Bihar 357, speak the volumes of his threat. His consistent performance like this earned him a place in U-19 2000 world cup. With Yuvi starring for India, Men in Blue junior lifted the U-19 world cup in 2000 under the leadership of Mohammad Kaif. Yuvi was awarded the man of the tournament for his all-around display on the field. Since then every world cup India won, Yuvi played a vital role in it. His heroics in the U-19s earned him the maiden call up for India. He got the chance to bat for the first time against mighty Australia in ICC champions trophy 2000, where he let the world know his name. He scored a magnificent knock of 84 off 80 balls against the Aussie attack with the likes of McGrath, Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie and others. His quickfire knock helped the team score good and India won the match by 20 runs. It was the same match that became famous for a rare sight of God of the cricket Sachin Tendulkar sledging McGrath. Yuvi then continued to perform for the Men in Blue in all three departments. The U-19 duo of Kaif and Yuvraj made it impossible for the opposition to score through cover and point with their electrifying fielding. Not to forget the rocket arm throw of Yuvi, which hardly missed the target. He continued to be a part of the team with ups and downs, but he came with full might in the 2007 T20 world cup. Being in the team as one of the seniors of the game, he performed like one. His sixes gave Stuart Broad nightmares for days. His six off Brett Lee sailed into the stands, and his innings of 70 in 30 balls, ensured the mighty Aussie defeat for the first team in ICC knockout since 1999. Even though Shahid Afridi was the man of the tournament in that world cup, it was Yuvi who was the real man of honour for India who helped them lift the cup. In the 2011 world cup , Yuvi repaid the favour of God of the cricket by accomplishing his ultimate dream to win a world cup for Team India. Yuvi's selection was a shock due to his slump of form before the world cup, but he silenced the media and critics with her stellar show. He amassed 362 runs and scalped 15 wickets in the tournament. His courage was visible when he was vomiting blood on the field against West Indies, but was adamant to be on the crease. His illness didn't stop him to perform and he played the best knocks in the entire tournament. His courageous act and stellar performances earned him the Man of the Tournament award yet again. He roared dominantly and soared high to help India lift the world cup after 28 years. It was impossible to win the world cup without Yuvi. However, his bravery also did some harm to his body. He was diagnosed with cancer, and the whole world was left in utter shock to see the champion in a state of illness. Every single cricket fan wept when they came to know that he carried the tumour inside his body throughout the tournament because he wanted India to lift the cup. Everyone prayed for his speedy recovery, and just like a champion, he defeated the illness soon. However, his resurrection was going to be difficult after the illness. But he was determined to roar yet again. And boy, he did that in style. In his first appearance after recovering from the illness, he took the attack on Aussie bowlers to smash 77 runs off 35 balls, allowing Indians to win the T20 game in 2013. His towering six made the cricket world witness the vintage Yuvraj which they always loved to see. He then performed for the team a few more times again but decided to retire from the game sometime later. However, he continued his good work for a noble cause for cancer awareness and treatment by starting his foundation You-We-Can. His foundation continues to bring the lost smiles back on the faces of people by curing them. Courtesy: Sportslibro Yuvraj may not play the game at the international level anymore, but the legacy he left is huge. His contribution to Indian cricket is immense and irreplaceable. He is one of the best all-rounders ever to have played the game. His dominant performances in all three departments were always the x-factor for India. His elegant backlift saw the stylish shots coming from his bat, his bowling made the three stumps difficult to remain in the same position for too long, his fielding saved many runs for the team, and his rocket arm throw caught the batsmen short increasing their travelling distance to the pavilion. His champion spirit, on and off the field will always be remembered. He will always be mentioned as a fighter, who defeated everything coming his way, leading to his victory. His fighting spirit will inspire generations to come. We wish he lives the longest possible life and continues to inspire people.

Cactus Communications (CACTUS), a technology company accelerating scientific advancement, has announced its transition to a remote-first company for all its 1,200 employees across nine locations globally. It is one of the first companies in India to join a small but growing list of firms across the globe that are embracing remote-first— companies that have office locations but do not require their employees to work from them. Yashmi Pujara :Chief Human Resources Officer_Cactus Communications - Copy “Three hundred and twenty people joined CACTUS in the seven months leading up to October 2021, and 50% of our new hires are from locations where we don’t have physical offices, such as Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and many others,” said Yashmi Pujara, Chief Human Resources Officer at CACTUS. “Remote-first does not mean that we will not have offices or that our people can’t work from an office. It means that in everything we do at work, we will adopt a remote-first mindset, making sure everyone, regardless of where they are working from, has an equal voice and visibility in the organization.” “We believe that talent is everywhere, an opportunity is not,” continued Pujara. “We are now no longer restricted to specific geographic locations, and we can provide opportunities wherever we find the right talent. Our people are currently spread across 14 countries and 165 different cities. In India, our employees are currently working out of more than 130 cities.” The move will see CACTUS expand its recruitment across the globe and pioneer new, post-pandemic working practices, including work from anywhere, asynchronous communication, and more. Through this move, CACTUS also aims to create employment opportunities in smaller towns where such opportunities might be scarce, thereby mitigating the multiple challenges posed by workforce migration to overpopulated big cities and contributing to a more fulfilling and sustainable future for the employee, organization, and planet at large. Abhishek Goel,CEO-Cactus Communications “While the world was forced into an 18-month experiment with remote work, we’ve been thinking about embracing remote-first for a long time,” said Abhishek Goel, CEO and Co-founder, CACTUS. “The primary reason behind our adoption of a remote-first culture is our evolution as a global company. When too many people are concentrated in a specific office location, the loudest voices are the ones closest to you. With customers in over 160 countries, we want to be close to them and responsive to their needs. We also want employees across the globe to contribute equally to the direction of the company.” To develop a remote-first model, the company surveyed employees to better understand their work preferences and challenges. Leaders found that 86% of employees wanted flexibility in how and where they worked, with 38% preferring full-time remote work. A core team then benchmarked other remote-first companies and spoke with industry thought-leaders to learn best practices. Several pilots on various work practices were introduced to gain insight into what would work best for the company. This included everything from introducing virtual water cooler events and virtual whiteboards to creating a communications charter, designating remote champions, developing guidelines on asynchronous communication, and launching a remote-first handbook. The company also created a new role, Head of Remote-First, hiring Jason Morwick to lead the company’s transition. “For many people, working remotely during the pandemic has highlighted just how much of rethink working practices need going forward,” said Jason Morwick, Head of Remote-First at CACTUS. “Businesses cannot replicate what they used to do face-to-face over a video call. Before the pandemic, people would gather in a room in front of a whiteboard to discuss an idea or problem, but that rarely works over a video call. Now, we are revising the process – how we are developing solutions. If done correctly, we believe that we can accelerate our business decision-making while engaging a larger number of employees.”

Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited, a global outsourcing partner for the pharmaceutical industry, welcomes the results of a new Clinical Research Study which shows that oral 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (Calcifediol) was able to correct vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in patients with COVID-19 and that it resulted in improved immune function by increasing blood lymphocyte percentages. The research was supervised by Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Boston University School of Medicine and supported in part by a grant from Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd’s wholly-owned subsidiary CARBOGEN AMCIS B.V. Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd (DCAL) is a leading global manufacturer of vitamin D plus its analogues and related APIs with over 70 years of experience in the field. DCAL partnered with Dr Michael Holick , MD, PhD, professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics and molecular medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and its team for the Clinical Research Study to be run by the Tehran University of Medical Sciences on treatment with 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (Calcifediol) of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The study showed that patients receiving the 25-hydroxy metabolite had, in comparison to those receiving a placebo, favourable demonstrably more favourable development of their immunological defence against COVID-19. Thus, dosing the metabolite significantly increased the blood levels as well as the comparative percentage of lymphocytes in the blood, i.e. a reduced Blood Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio. “A person’s vitamin D status is defined as the person’s blood level of the vitamin’s 25-hydroxy metabolite (Calcifediol), i.e. the vitamin’s natural form in circulation which the body can quickly access and finally activate. Therefore, Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd has for years studied the effects of dosing either the vitamin and/or the metabolite . Said Dr Scott Miller, Sr. Scientific Advisor at DCAL , “Our support of this study of Calcifediol in the context of COVID-19 was motivated by the fact that the blood level of the metabolite can be increased more rapidly and more distinctly if supplemented directly.” To support the Clinical Research Study CARBOGEN AMCIS B.V. (Netherlands) provided the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (Calcifediol) and the capsules and placebo were made at Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd’s plant in Bavla, India, specifically for this study. “There are several studies that have reported that a good vitamin D status i.e. a healthy blood level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, can not only dramatically reduce the risk of being infected by this deadly virus but also a higher vitamin D status reduced risk for serious symptoms and death caused by the virus.” Commented Dr Michael Holick. “This controlled study similar to the one conducted in Spain recently [1] demonstrate that the rapid improvement in vitamin D status can improve positive outcomes for patients infected with COVID 19.” “The COVID-19 pandemic hitting the world in early 2020 resulted in the unprecedented global focus of R&D efforts and of solidarity in coping with the sudden and unexpected high need for intensive care beds, which didn’t hit all countries to the same degree.” Said Arpit Vyas, Global Managing Director of Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited : “It is important for us to play a role in this new challenge, not only for our corporate interests but to contribute to the possible future of the fight against COVID-19. Therefore, to follow up with this Clinical Research Study, Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd is currently conducting a second round of study in a larger scale in India.” For more information about the study supported by Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1530891X21012593 [1] “Effect of Calcifediol treatment and best available therapy versus best available therapy on intensive care unit admission and mortality among patients hospitalized for COVID-19: A pilot randomized clinical study” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764?via%3Dihub

Laksh has been commended for his vision in the FinTech/WealthTech sector, where he has established a reputation for optimizing digital transformation and managing complex and costly challenges for leading financial institutions. Among the award recipients, he was the only individual and the first Indian to be recognized.

The solution streamlines the end-to-end front office workflows around client engagement, and specifically focuses on relationship managers’ (RMs’) productivity and offering a frictionless experience to the end clients. This solution had also won Asian Private Banker’s Best Operation Efficiency Solution Award, earlier this year. Stephen Harris, CEO of Wealth Briefing, described Laksh's entry as very impressive and said, “His experience in assisting businesses scale from scratch in different markets, customer segments, and geographies make him a worthy winner.” Rachel Fokes, Head of Awards for WealthBriefing, said that each category of the WealthTechAsia Awards was fiercely contested, with a small number of finalists selected from a large pool of entrants before an overall winner was selected. In response to the award, Laksh expressed his gratitude and said, "I am humbled to receive this award and want to thank the wider industry stakeholders for their support.” Laksh also credited both the Singapore Government and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for having built a vibrant ecosystem over many years and indicated that this ecosystem was pivotal to his success.

Before moving to Singapore, Laksh had extensive experience of scaling his entrepreneurial venture and had also worked within the Intellectual Property/Innovation/ Patent teams of Thomson Reuters Intellectual Property & Science (now Clarivate Analytics) and Motorola (his team is now part of Google). Laksh suggested that having the opportunity to work alongside leading innovators and learnings from his entrepreneurial venture have helped him immensely in his career to identify growth opportunities and scale those exponentially. Currently, he is enabling wealth and investment managers to use Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Next-Best Action, Gaming and Design theory to offer end clients a truly hyper-personalised experience. Moreover, to help educate a wider audience on how the financial industry is being transformed, Laksh also hosts a chat show (Vantage Point by DigiJanus www.digijanus.com) with thought leaders, industry practitioners, and innovators.

He has experience working with organizations like Development Credit Bank, ABN Amro Bank and Fullerton India Credit Company Limited. The show was hosted by Ms Veena Harwani.

She heartily introduced the man behind creating this beautiful, wonderful and amazing family who is also a multi-award-winning Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Social Activist - Dr Gaurav Sharma, the Founder & CEO of Positive Thoughts Consulting & Training Solutions & Co-Founder – 28 Credentials of Entrepreneurs, Malaysia. The entire community acknowledged his diligent efforts to spread positivity and build a community of like-minded people filled with motivation and satisfaction. Creating a WOW moment on the topic of the eve ‘Be Kind To Your Mind’ the host enthusiastically introduced the Trainer of the eve, Mr Vikkas Nagru, Founder & Director – Brain Infinity and has impacted more than twenty-one thousand lives through stress-free education and live workshops. Inviting community members to enhance their critical thinking, problem-solving skills and living the moment the host invited Mr Vikkas Nagru to impact the lives he has been doing. Mr Vikkas Nagru started with an example of boarding Delhi Metro and connected it with the thought of the creation of Positive Thoughts by Dr Gaurav Sharma. He added, if one is feeling dull, or if one is low or not up to the mark one should join the Positive Thoughts family and the community members would make the shift and bring positivity within oneself. He further added that he started a mission three years ago by the name ‘SAFAI’ which in Hindi means ‘cleaning’. It was started from his home and for him ‘SAFAI’ is Stress-Anxiety Free All India. He said, that you are only responsible for change of mind as it is in your hand. It means that if you are not able to control yourself, then you are a puppet of someone else’s hand and added that our brain believes in simple things. With an example about research conducted on college students, he shared that if one can grasp complex things, he/she is considered to be smarter but the fact is that our mind evades it. To grasp anything, we have to activate the prefrontal and frontal lobes of our mind as otherwise, it will be a cause of stress. One has to uplift the mind to complete any activity and raise a question, do you do any brain warm-up exercise before taking up any assignment or making a decision? With an example, he clarified that how players and athletes are highly trained and focussed about their performance where-in we as a common man get annoyed by the little raised voice of our family members. He further added that the soldier on the front is also focussed and even in a very thin line of life and death, he is making a decision that is factoring his nation. This is only because they have tuned their brain to focus on what is right not only for them but for the team (a nation in the case of soldiers) they are part of. He shared four proven techniques to activate the frontal mind as under: 1. Simple arithmetic calculation He indulged the community members in an activity originally done by Dr Raita Kawashima in Japan. He presented some simple arithmetic additions and stated that this is required as with this simple exercise you open up the prefrontal lobe of your brain and prepare yourself for the upcoming tasks. He further added that any athlete or player before proceeding for the game does some physical activity and this is just a warm-up exercise to open up their body. About the activity, he said when this activity was conducted in Japan, they found whenever a person is doing such activity, he/she activates his brain and has a high level of state of mind. This makes it easy as the purpose of education is 360-degree development of your brain and not invite any hindrance. For critical thinking, one needs observation power, logical mind and temporal lobe for audio. With the contribution of the whole brain, anything which seems critical or complex becomes easy as the brain believes in simple things. 2. Surprise element He tossed a question about why a kid up to three years is attractive and said the child is doing a meditation 140 times a day. This is because for him/her there are many WOW moments as the child never fails to respond. This Surprise element is a great facial exercise and helps one to remain young and active for more time. It is important not to seclude yourself and you may apply the ‘Fake it and Make It’ theory which means that you are enhancing your brainpower. It is a game of practice and the more you do it, you would overcome any mental state be it low or negative. 3. Be like a kid He asked the members to read the paragraph from down to up (the reverse direction). He stated that by doing this activity your entire brain is activated and you are highly focussed and concentrated. This thirty-second exercise is going to trigger up your mental state. With this activity, you as a parent, activate the brain of your child and with this, he would be able to grasp things better and this would also raise his/her confidence. This is effective parenting. Moving forward he stated that the coming era is going to be more competitive and we as a parent have to ensure that we prepare our children to cope up with that stress. As a child most probably up to the age of twenty-one, our only responsibility is to focus on academics/sports or any other activity to make our career. Once we enter the new phase of our life the number of activities increases with responsibility (social/financial etc..) and with this stress increases. As a person as well as a parent, we need to understand how to tune our brains. 4. How to tune brain ? Our right brain controls the left side of our body and our left brain controls the right side of our body. With the help of an activity, he showed how we can pass on two different instructions to our both brains using our fingers. He shared that with this activity we are tuning our brain to do multiple tasking in one go. This is an uplifting effect and you surround yourself with positivity as you can use your both brains and this helps to enhance your critical thinking with focus and you can change your mental state as per your choice. He concluded by stating that if we are controlling our brain, our mind, it means we are in a great state. But, if our brain, our mind is controlling us, then we are in the wrong hand. This means that we should not carry another person’s opinion every time and we should have our own opinion too. When we are ‘Kind To Our Mind’ we can create heaven with our positive mindset or vice-versa as creativity and innovation are very important as logical and analytical skills stop oneself from being creative. As the brain believes in simplicity, make your life simple. At last, Dr Supriya Kumaravelan gave the vote of thanks to Mr Vikkas Nagru for sharing his versatile techniques and giving his precious time on Thunderbolts. The session was ended by Dr Ina Singh by virtual felicitation with the certificate to the Trainer Mr Vikkas Nagru and the Host Ms Veena Harwani.

Can an ethic violation derail your business? In simple words, an ethics violation would kill your business. It doesn't matter how big your team is if you start violating the ethics. Once exposed, the whole thing falls apart like a house of cards. I was once exposed to a multi-level business wherein the parent company pointed out how the subsidiary business was not set up properly. Shockingly, the billing was really affected. Any public record of disrepute affects your business tremendously. Obviously, more major violations may even lead to getting you disbarred from legal practice vis-à-vis when you miss a commitment deadline, fail to perform competently, abandon a client, etc. but it all leads to a slap on the wrist. For me, it really doesn't matter which rule got violated but anything that affects the business is a red flag that goes up. Nobody wants to see that in a lawyer they have hired. This may even lead to a big consequence. But, what happens when you're disciplined. Clients see that and even the court does. Now, is it even feasible to be a purely ethical attorney? Can you follow every rule? Yes, definitely. Sometimes that may be a nuisance at the moment but it is always good for the business. Clients also appreciate it when you are careful. It is good to be known as someone who sticks up for following all rules. You may ask, what are the action items as a newbie? Ethics is imperative for continuing the business of lawyering. The first step is to know your jurisdiction and laws. Secondly, follow legal updates on social media. It is not possible to keep a tab on every law, so the easier way is to read the news snippets and legal updates regularly. Lastly, find someone to talk to about your stress when lawyering gets overwhelming. Do not burn out while serving as a lawyer. Thanks a lot, readers for your continuous response. I am Arunima Jha.

Dear Readers of Stay Featured, Do you want to know this? How smartly should you use social media for acquiring new clients in 2021? I have graduated from my class in 2013 and I started out my career with civil & criminal litigation. Looking back, I wasn't really at a Fred Flintstone law firm but I was still not using social media for marketing my services. I am not saying that I moved to George J. Jetson ecosystem but when I switched my practice area from civil & criminal to corporate laws there, I could sense that social media was a great tool for marketing legal services. One of my friends recently asked me if it's okay for lawyers to use Instagram, I couldn't help but wonder what's wrong with being your real self? Personally, I am on my phone a lot like most millennials are but I do strategic scrolling. In this sense, when I look at the content and think if I can create something using either the music element or the concept. So I shoot my videos also strategically. So from 1k followers in 2020, I gained a following of 30k plus on Instagram and honestly what I noticed was one can use the platform effectively to build up their brand and name. It's imperative to get your posts re-blasted e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram & Facebook. Let me break down the tips on how to do this: 1) Instagram typically has a 1-minute link for the posts and the reels are also 1 minute, IGTV is longer but stories are only for 15 secs. When it comes to Instagram create strategic contents to catch the audience's attention. Most of my social media presence is on Instagram. I highly recommend using Instagram if you want to market your services more effectively. According to Instagram Business, its platform has over 1 billion users who are active each month. Crazy. IKR. Might as well make use of the platform to gain the audience's reach. People appreciate honesty and being the real you makes you "Human", why shy away from that? After all, who wants a bot to handle their legal cases? 2) Now you may ask why would someone go on Instagram to look for a lawyer? To be honest, social media is not the place where people usually go for looking for a lawyer but if you are constantly showing up in someone's feed, whether it's Instagram or LinkedIn you're always top of the mind meaning they might not need the lawyer now but when they do, yours will be the first name that comes to their mind. That's a really important marketing tip.
