Balika Vadhu Actress Neha Marda Takes Free Publicity From PR firm Shimmer Entertainment, Refuses To Pay Later says Cofounder’s Namita Rajhans and Tasneem Lathiwala of Shimmer Entertainment 

  After using the services from the PR company Shimmer Entertainment, actress Neha Marda blatantly refused to reimburse them for it. Repeated reminders and multiple nudges also did not make her pay her dues to the very people who worked tirelessly to make her famous.

Claiming for what they rightfully owe, Cofounder’s Namita Rajhans  and Tasneem Lathiwala of shimmer Entertainment say, “We have seen many artists exploit hard working PR like us. After using our services, they hold back on payments. Neha Marda has wronged us by denying to give the money she owes us. We have proof of all the work we have done for her while she completely refuses to acknowledge it. When we ask her to pay up, she says nothing has been done.”

The only thing the owners are expecting is that Neha clears their dues. We hope that Neha promptly looks in to this matter and solves it amicably

             Bizongo’s revenue across textile hubs grows 20X in 11 months

                                  as manufacturers adopt digitisation

                  

Textile hubs of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka are witnessing a rapid shift in MSMEs embracing technology platforms to fast track their business. Full stack B2B trade enablement platform Bizongo has seen its annualized revenue grow 20 times to INR 600 crore in the last 11 months from these regions.

Karnataka alone contributes 14 per cent to the national garment production in India and the state capital Bengaluru is known as the Garment Capital of India, owing to the presence of a large number of fabric and yarn manufacturers.

A substantial part of the growth is driven by the digitized and automated supply chain financing solution provided to manufacturers to help them with their credit and working capital needs. The steep rise in cotton prices and coal shortage have kept manufacturing units under pressure, increasing the need for MSMEs to seek credit to keep their production on track. Bizongo has been helping MSMEs with collateral free and minimum documentation working capital lines.

Bizongo’s Partner Hub platform helps textile manufacturers avail services across production planning, order delivery timelines, payment reconciliation, to do away with manual tasks. Bizongo has also launched IoT enabled cloud factory setups that power MSMEs to give real time updates to their enterprise customers about their products and order status, and also reduces time and effort in raising invoices and undertaking collections.

Bizongo’s supply chain finance model is rooted in generating free cash flow and offering faster access to working capital, which enables manufacturers to improve performance. This approach has spiraled the technology firm to become a market leader in the customized goods categories such as textiles, apparels and other contract manufactured goods.

  Aniket Deb, Co-founder and COO, Bizongo said, “Our platform caters to the entire ecosystem of textile manufacturers - right from the enterprise customer, to the garment manufacturer and further up to the yarn supplier and even the cotton mill. Through our technology platform we have been able to add value to both sales and procurement. Be it digitizing orders and deliveries or invoicing to credit, Bizongo has made it possible for every player in the textile life cycle to conduct their business in the most efficient manner and optimize their resources.”

Bizongo has strong partnerships with over 25 financial institutions to facilitate credit and working capital needs of MSMEs. Some of the enterprise customers are Hours Overseas, Tripal Traders, and Namo Traders.

Anupam Chaudhary, Owner, Namo Traders said, “Our sales have gone up by 45%. Despite the demand, we were facing challenges in supplying to our customers due to lack of working capital. Bizongo helped us achieve consistent growth in our business by resolving the issues around working capital.”

In 2021, the technology platform has facilitated INR 1200 cr through its supply chain financing.

The strong demand for digital platforms comes as enterprises face challenges arising from higher Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), manual processes, offline catalog and artwork management, ad-hoc vendor engagement, inaccurate purchase planning, high inventory, loss of sales, and delayed payments to vendor partners.

About Bizongo

Bizongo was founded in 2015 by three IIT graduates Aniket Deb, Sachin Agrawal, and Ankit Tomar, to digitally transform the fragmented and unorganized yet unique and ubiquitous B2B segment of customized goods. Today, the company focuses upon packaging, textiles, apparel & other contract manufacturing goods as its product portfolio and has a network of over 3,000 partner factories. Through its proprietary digital platforms, such as Procure Live, Partner Hub, and Artwork Flow, Bizongo offers Digital Vendor Management, Supply Chain Automation & Supply Chain Financing as key services to its enterprise customers. The B2B e-commerce platform services 300+ enterprise customers in fashion & lifestyle, pharmaceuticals, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, home & personal care, and

With Ten Fireflies I am attempting to explore this very magic of the relationship, you hate it, you love it, but you cannot live without it. I hope people read and enjoy this book as it is very close to my heart."

Himanee shot to fame in her career as an actress with her short film ‘Act Normal’. She has also worked in the short film ‘Khat’ which was released on MX Player a few days back. Now turning an author, is certainly adding another feather to her hat.

Himanee Bhatia is known to play diverse characters and is famous for her unique choice in roles. Her upcoming release, Khat is a short film that is a love triangle and is around the LGBTQ community. Himanee plays the character of Dhriti Singha, who is a writer and the protagonist of the film. The film was the official selection at LGBTQ film selection 2019. That itself says a lot about the potential of the cinema and Himanee. It's an important film for us as a society and it furthers the progression that we as a society have been making. We need to take giant strides in this arena and this is going to do a world of good in that sense. The film is to release in March, on MX player.

Himanee says, "This film is extremely close to me. I have had the utmost love and respect for the LGBTQ community. They are as much as part of ours as we are theirs. The way they have been treated over the years has been a shame but we are coming out of that shell. We are a progressive society and we continue to do so. It was an immediate yes as I heard the narration. The film has been doing the rounds of the film festivals and I am glad it will be available for the audience very soon. It's a project that is bound to question our beliefs and sit and think to decide what is right and not what is convenient. Time's up for anyone who thinks that they don't belong to society. They make society. Love and light to all "
