Top Energy Company in India ONGC concludes first transaction worth 1 Cr on TReDS of M1xchange

Mumbai, 08 November 2019: In a significant development, M1xchange, one of the foremost exchanges dealing in Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS), has successfully transacted with ONGC, an Indian Multinational Crude Oil and Gas Corporation. The digital platform of M1xchange came into being in April 2017 to serve micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which usually struggle to stay afloat due to the paucity of working capital. While the private sector came on-board swiftly, PSUs have on-boarded TReDS recently. A total of 36 PSUs have been on-boarded and about 9 have joined M1xchange in the last quarter.

The coming together of M1xchange and ONGC would address the financing concerns of MSMEs in the energy sector, an important segment of the economy. Other PSUs such as Indian Oil, HPCL, BPCL, ONGC Videsh, NTPC, GAIL, etc. are also a part of TReDS on M1xchange. Launched by outsourcing and consulting firm Mynd Solutions, the use of TReDS is aimed at improving the flow of funds to the MSMEs by reducing the realization cycles of receivables. TReDS allows MSMEs to post their trade receivables on the system and get them financed.

“We welcome ONGC on board. This is an important development for M1xchange as it reflects the growing trust and confidence of PSUs where systems were not geared for TReDS but slowly they are reconfiguring their approval cycles to be able to extend the benefit of Digital financing to larger set of MSME vendors and fulfill the objective of TREDS, towards the growth of economy," said Sundeep Mohindru, CEO, M1xchange.

As the largest crude oil and natural gas company in India, contributing around 75 percent to Indian domestic production, ONGC ranks 11th among global energy majors.

"TReDS is the effective mechanism created by Government for financing Micro and small enterprises. Consistent with our aim to facilitate our business partners we are encouraging more MSE suppliers to participate and benefit from the TReDS platform. At ONGC we are of the view that the TReDS initiative has the potential to solve the working capital related issues for MSE vendors efficiently at a lower cost. " said Mr. Subhash Kumar, Director (Finance), ONGC.

The digital platform is known to offer transparency and helps in taking quick decisions on offering to fund to the MSME sector which is the backbone of India’s economy.

Mumbai In developing countries like ours, where 3/4th of people below the poverty line live in rural areas and where more than 80% of rural people live in households that are involved in agriculture, improving poor farmers' livelihoods is central for addressing rural development. In recent times, organic farming has increasingly gained attention as a way to manage natural resources in a more sustainable way and to raise incomes, especially of smallholder farms. Our agricultural and farming systems need to be reinvented to cater to the changing times. Many of our farmers are underpaid, malnourished, are frequently using chemicals that harm their health, and rely on practices that seriously degrade their land. Not only this, the food that they are producing is often coated in harmful chemicals, has little taste and is low in essential nutrients. Organic farming provides a high premium for the farmers to produce with low capital investment and the ability to use traditional knowledge. Organic farming normally does not involve capital investment as high as that required in chemical farming. Furthermore, since organic fertilizers and pesticides can be produced locally, the yearly costs incurred by the farmer are also low High Premium Organic food is normally priced 20-30% higher than conventional food. This premium is very important for a small farmer whose income might only be sufficient to feed his/her family with one meal. Low Investment Organic farming normally does not involve capital investment as high as that required in chemical farming. Furthermore, since organic fertilizers and pesticides can be produced locally, the yearly costs incurred by the farmer are also low. Agriculture greatly depends on external factors such as climate, pests, and disease. Furthermore, most of the small farmers are dependent on natural rain for water. Therefore, in cases of natural calamity, pest or disease attack, or irregular rainfall, when there is a crop failure, small farmers practicing organic farming have to suffer less as their investments are low. It should be noted that while shifting from chemical farming to organic farming, the transition might be costly Traditional Knowledge Small farmers have an abundance of traditional knowledge with them and within their community. Most of these traditional knowledge cannot be used for chemical farming. However, when it comes to organic farming, farmers can make use of this traditional knowledge. Furthermore, in cases of organic farming, small farmers are not dependent on those who provide chemical know-how. For us at  NATCO trust Promoting rural livelihoods is one of the core focus areas We ignited the thought of organic farming in farmers, for which the process was laid in the year 2017 in Gollamudipadu Village (native place of our Chairman and Managing Director). About 75% of the community here directly depends on agriculture and farm-based livelihoods.  We are actively engaged in promoting ·       Nutrition Gardens There are various social benefits that have emerged from establishing Nutrition gardening practices in four villages. Some of these benefits are improvements in health, enhanced incomes, and nutrition security within the household. Nutrition gardening has also proved cost-effective and a sustainable method for producing organic vegetables. ·       Intervention in Agriculture we motivated the community through a series of awareness programs and imparted technical training to 87 farmers and arranged interaction with the progressive farmers for further learning. Promoting seed bank concept This concept is aimed at the conservation of the indigenous gene pool. It involves the propagation and development of the indigenous paddy varieties having Aroma and Medicinal Properties. We helped to propagate six varieties of indigenous rice varieties for further multiplication and conservation. Distributed seeds to three farmers for multiplication purpose and after cultivation Let's all be a part of this Organic Re-ignition to protect our nature and ourselves!!

Her command over the language, diction and being in the character was fabulous. We both had challenging roles to play and playing newly married husband wife with sexual rift only came with a lot of dedication and rehearsals we did with Sachin Moite sir and from day one we hit it off pretty well. In fact, our first scene we shot together was a make-out scene where I was very careful that Mridula was comfortable as she is a newcomer. As an actor, I have done a lot of make-out scenes in the past, being a newcomer, she was highly professional and was at ease and all are scenes are mostly performance-oriented and she gave a power-packed performance in the show. I had a great time shooting together. She is a lamb race ki actor"

My every project has given me a great learning experience, this one was a momentous and closest one for me as I got an opportunity to work at such an immense platform. I have always thanked my family for supporting me in my dreams but my special thank you extends to Ekta Kapoor, Baljeet Chadha, Sachin Moite sir, Neha Gupta for considering me apropos for this character to be portrayed on screen"

I am looking forward for more different challenging roles and I am open to new and different projects at a great platform"

VYRL ORIGINALS AND MOHIT SURI BRING TOGETHER MITHOON, ARIJIT SINGH AND ASEES KAUR FOR THEIR LATEST NON-FILM SONG – INTEZAAR

Mumbai, 7th November 2019: The creative trio of Mohit Suri, Mithoon and Arijit Singh famous for delivering superhit songs like ‘Tum Hi Ho’, ‘Humdard’, ‘Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga’ have come together for the very first time for a non-film song ‘Intezaar’.  This song is composed and written by Mithoon and features Bollywood favorites Arijit Singh and Asees Kaur. The video stars India’s beloved television stars Sanaya Irani and Gurmeet Chaudhary who bring alive the ballad in the larger than life music video.

The inspiration for the song comes from the yearning for one's love where you continue to live in hope, even after the relationship has ended.  Intezaar brings alive two contrasting sets of emotions; one where a person is living in hope that his love may return and the other where one has gracefully accepted the end and moved on. Arijit Singh and Asees Kaur have soulfully expressed these emotions in their inimitable style.

Directed by Arif Khan, the music video depicts the highs and lows of a relationship through contemporary dance interlaced with poignant storytelling. Mohit Suri, with his creative vision and inputs, has been instrumental in creating a one-of-its-kind non-film musical experience. 

Speaking about Intezaar, Mithoon says “Mohit and I always like to work on a thought when it comes to any song. He gave me the idea to come up with a song that talks about yearning and hoping against hope. I responded by giving him this melody and he got very excited about it. He initially wanted to use it in Aashiqui 2, but later on, we both felt it wasn’t fitting in the narrative of the film. Time passed but we both held on to this song very dearly in our hearts. Even Arijit would keep asking me about where are we going to use it. Earlier this year, VRYL Originals approached me to do a project with them and Mohit kept pushing me to do something in the non-film space. I reworked on the entire structure of the song and added the voice of Asees Kaur, who I think elevated the song with her honesty. Finally, it all came together as a true musical experience”

Speaking about this latest release, Mohit Suri says “Mithoon and I have an association that goes back two decades. Whenever we have worked on music it has never meant to be delivered as a superhit but just something that we both believe in. I have been after Mithoon to do something in the non-film music space because I believe his music is beyond films. I am very happy that Arijit and Asees have lent their voice to this composition. I had a certain vision for this song and Arif Khan has taken the video a notch higher. Both Gurmeet and Sanaya have not just enacted the video but felt every word of the song. I believe and Mithoon will agree on this with me that every song has its own fate and this song belongs to a platform like VYRL Originals. Thank you Vinit and Devraj for this musical experience.”

Speaking about the song, Asees Kaur says “I was roped in at the very last stage of this project. Mithoon Sir was looking for a female voice and that's when Vinit from VYRL Originals recommended me to Mithoon Sir for which I will be grateful to him forever. I've always wanted to sing for Mithoon Sir and to start off with a project which is so close to him, Mohit Sir and my personal favorite Arijit Singh is a dream collaboration for me. I'm glad Mithoon Sir & Mohit Sir both felt that my voice did justice to the song and the emotion they were looking for. I also love the way the video is shot where Gurmeet & Sanaya have done an amazing job. And like everyone says, this song is an amazing Musical Experience as a whole.”

Speaking about the new song, Vinit Thakkar, Senior Vice President, Universal Music India & South Asia, shares, “VYRL Originals is an artist first music platform which has been at the forefront of creating a category and culture of non-film music in India.  Intezaar has been a dream project for us at VYRL. To bring together the biggest names in the Indian Music & Entertainment business, for a non-film song for the first time, has been an exciting experience. I am deeply appreciative of the creative journey and efforts of the entire team including Mohit Suri, Mithoon, Arijit Singh, Asees Kaur and the talented duo Sanaya and Gurmeet, who feature in the music video directed by Arif Khan. Intezaar is not just another non-film song; it’s a musical experience.”
