TiE Mumbai hosted a conversation with Harish Mehta decoding “The Maverick Effect”

Anupam Mittal in conversation with Harish Mehta decoding “The Maverick Effect”

Mumbai, April 6, 2022 (TGN)– TiE Mumbai hosted an exclusive mixer and networking evening yesterday with its Board members, Charter Members, Industry leaders and Mumbai Unicorns in attendance. The highlight of the evening was the conversation between Harish Mehta, Founder & Chairman- Onward Technologies and Past President & Board Member of TiE Mumbai and Anupam Mittal, Founder - People Group and Shaadi.com, decoding Harish’s newly released book “The Maverick Effect”.

Harish Mehta is a co- founder and the first elected president of NASSCOM. He has been an IT industry veteran and an entrepreneur himself. This book is a fascinating narrative of Harish Mehta’s personal life and his work intertwined with the genesis of NASSCOM, the evolution of the IT industry, the Indian economy and our Nation. 

TiE Mumbai - Board Members & Charter Members

When NASSCOM was formed, the software export was around $ 50 m and the business was very difficult to sustain and operate. Software export has now grown to $ 178 b. The book methodically explains the manner in which NASSCOM went about eliminating the hurdles in the way of business and obtained Government buyin by making them see the vision about the impact software export would have on the Indian economy.

The book highlights some of the pivotal role of key government secretaries and ministers (DoT, StPI, communications ministry, finance, PMO etc) who worked tirelessly for the progress of the industry and the nation thereby. The Government of India thus helped build the IT industry with these Tech and IT entrepreneurs. Interesting stories and anecdotes from the pre liberation India to the today’s digitally ahead India have been interspersed throughout the book.

NASSCOM started with a belief “Aapna Time bhi aayega”. During the 80s, when the IT industry was at a nascent stage, our current account situation was appalling. We have come a long way since then. With the unparallel growth of the IT industry we are in a strong foreign exchange situation now and have created immense employment opportunities for the youth of the country. The Brand India Inc. created by the IT industry has helped every single industry globally. All these aspects have been brilliantly articulated in this book.

Today India is unstoppable, entering a golden era of growth. We are on a trajectory of becoming a Global leader. This book is highly recommended to every single Indian citizen to understand how India has reached this pinnacle of success. It is a treasure house of inspiring stories that will make one extremely proud.

Today Entrepreneurship in India is possible because of the policies that were set and have come out during this era. The internet and digital age start-ups have NASSCOM to thank for!Ends

#No To Chewing Tobacco - Actor, Producer Mukesh Rishi becomes Bhookha Haathi Health Warrior!

Mukesh Rishi as Bhookha Haathi Health Warrior

National, 2nd April 2022 (TGN): Actor, producer Mukesh Rishi joins hands with Bangalore-based alternative foods and health-based nutraceutical-tech company Bhookha Haathi to endorse their range of 100% natural health-promoting products.

Mukesh Rishi is an Indian actor and film producer who works primarily in Hindi and Telugu films. He has done 180 films in 8 different languages. The 65-year-old actor got his first break in Hindi cinema in 1988 and has since, established himself as a leading character actor. He is a health and fitness enthusiast and has strong aversion towards tobacco and non-tobacco-based harmful chewables. 

In the past, he has been offered many brand endorsements for unhealthy chewable products but has always denied them as he doesn’t believe in promoting something that he, himself doesn’t consume.

According to Kusum Bhandari, Co-Founder - Bhookha Haathi, “Currently, the main focus of our brand is our proprietary dry fruit & nut refresher which is World’s First Healthy Chew and a perfect replacement to tobacco and non-tobacco-based harmful chewables. It also works well as digestive and has many health benefits such as lowering cholesterol, anti-infective, anti-ageing etc. We found Mr. Mukesh Rishi to be the perfect fit as our brand promoter as he stands for the same values as our brand does.”

Bhookha Haathi was founded on the vision to create products that help solve the widespread problem of chewable tobacco that continues to be a prevalent vice in modern India. It has a vision for 2050, where it would want to reduce the consumption of tobacco by more than 50 percent. Also, there is a need to limit the consumption of unhealthy pan masalas and oral fresheners that are full of additives & preservatives and cannot claim to be 100 percent natural.

“With actor, producer Mukesh Rishi as Bhookha Haathi Health Warrior, the company aims to reach masses to create a much greater impact in society with its Rs.2 sachet. With this launch, Bhookha Haathi will be the first nutraceutical company to launch its product at this price point in the healthcare segment”, according to Abhimanyu Rishi, Co-Founder – Bhookha Haathi, “Bhookha Haathi believes that healthcare shouldn’t only be available to people who can afford it but should also be available to people who really need it.”

Other products from Bhookha Haathi stable include their proprietary caffeine-free chickpea filter coffee which is a healthy replacement to regular caffeinated coffee and a range of raw and wild honey.
