This Women’s Day, Tata Starbucks Celebrates Women and Their Journeys That Made Them #StrongLikeCoffee

~ Tata Starbucks launches an empowering campaign to celebrate the strength and grit of women ~

Hyderabad, March 8, 2023: To laud the strength and achievements of women across all facets of life, Tata Starbucks commemorates the celebrations this women’s day with its endearing campaign - #StrongLikeCoffee. The campaign spotlights the various cynical perspectives of society that women face in their journey and celebrates women who are determined to achieve their dreams. The inspiring films pass on an empowering message for women to be #StrongLikeCoffee by never giving up on their dreams and following their hearts.

 

The two-film campaign follows the lives of 2 female Starbucks Baristas As they start narrating their stories, you hear the voices of naysayers from their lives. Each voice doubting, taunting, advising, or telling them what careers to pursue and how they should live their lives. The films conclude with the Baristas persevering against all odds and sharing how they muted all the other voices and followed only their hearts to achieve their dreams. The campaign has been conceptualized and produced by Edelman Studios, India.

 

Deepa Krishnan, Chief Marketing Officer, Tata Starbucks said, “The campaign #StrongLikeCoffee recognizes the undying spirit of perseverance that is needed to overcome the many voices of doubt, advice, ridicule that women have to go through, to follow their dreams. This women’s day we are inspired by the journeys of strong women within our organization. We chose to shine the spotlight on them to celebrate their success. It is also a testament to the nurturing environment and support that the organization has created for these success stories. Our campaign salutes these women for being the epitome of strength.”

 

Currently, Tata Starbucks operates 21 All-Women stores in India. With women making up 38% of the workforce, Tata Starbucks believes in creating a balanced environment with flexible employment options including a 5-day work schedule, access to Women’s Impact Network, extended maternity leave as well as mentoring and accelerated development programs for key talent.

On Women’s Day, television’s female leads talk about embracing equity!

To celebrate womanhood and to spread awareness about gender equality, International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8th every year, and this year the theme is #EmbraceEquity. On International Women’s Day &TV artists, Neha Joshi (Yashoda) from Doosri Maa, Kamna Pathak (Rajesh Singh), Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma), Sapna Sikarwar (Bimlesh) from Happu ki Ultan Paltan, Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi) from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai talk about embracing equity for creating an inclusive world. Neha Joshi, essaying Yashoda in &TV’s Doosri Maa, says, “Jab hai naari main shakti Saari, to Phir Kyun naari ko kahe bechari? - I read this quote somewhere that has made an ever-lasting impact as I relate to every word. Women symbolize power and strength but often encounter bias within their families, workspaces, and other spheres. In a diverse world, inclusivity is a necessity. We are empowered to be whatever and who we choose to be. We must embrace and celebrate this. Let’s give equity a huge embrace on this International Women’s Day. I wish for a world where differences are acknowledged, appreciated, and celebrated. So, let us pledge to forge women’s equality with #Embraceequity.” Himani Shivpuri, essaying Katori Amma in &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “Gender inequality is still an issue. The theme #EmbraceEquity is an excellent way to raise awareness of gender equality. We cannot have a free and equal society until women enjoy equal rights as men. It is a human right, and we are all entitled to it. Over the years, there have been drastic changes with better representation of women in politics, more economic opportunities, and better healthcare

 But still, in many regions, women continue to face unfair treatment, which needs to address. Women cannot succeed when half of us are held back, so gender equality must be embraced by all the women in society, which is possible only if we create a gender-equal environment. Cheers to all women around the world! Happy Women’s Day.” Shubhangi Atre, essaying Angoori Bhabi in &TV’s Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, says, “Women are synonymous with power, strength, and beauty but society treats us as inferior to men. Although my family has always treated me with equal love and respect, I know how women are treated in other sections of our society. It breaks my heart to see a woman's inequality right from childhood, which gradually spreads across her professional and personal spheres. I am glad that this issue is being internationally acknowledged and is now a part of global discourse under this year’s International Women’s Day theme. On International Women’s Day, I want to say that having a voice, speaking up, and embracing our womanhood is extremely critical. Standing up for what you truly believe in is not selfish. Be aware and express yourself and what you want out of life”.

Kamna Pathak, essaying Rajesh in &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “ Indian society is changing a lot by accepting roles women play - as breadwinners in families, professionals, or independent thinkers. Women have proven themselves time and again as equals in every aspect. This year’s theme of "Embrace Equity" is a burning topic, and I feel more and more people should talk and create a society where both men and women are treated equally. By embracing equity, we embrace diversity and inclusion, and through this process of equity, we can achieve equality.” Vidisha Srivastava, essaying Anita Bhabi in &TV’s Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, says, “As a woman, it feels amazing to celebrate Women's Day when everyone wishes us. The feeling of being loved and respected makes us feel special. I also believe that despite celebrating women on a specific day, we should celebrate, respect, and love womanhood throughout the year. It is because we all have different battles to fight personally and professionally. Since childhood, my mother has always treated me and my brother and brother equally. My family has followed it for generations, and I feel very proud about it. As they say, "charity begins at home." We should all completely remove this evil of business from our lives and expect society to change gradually.

Let’s take one step at a time towards a bias-free society and treat the women in our lives with the utmost respect and empower the ‘Naari Shakti'.”  Sapna Sikarwar, essaying Bimlesh in &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “Today we are everywhere where we want to be, doing everything we want to do. We were given this life because we are smart, strong, and capable of living it.

We know how to achieve our dreams, but in India and many developing countries, many women are not where they need to be. The most significant thing for us is education, and the second thing is the support of our families. There’s something so special about a woman who dominates a man’s world. It takes grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and nerve to never take no for an answer. In celebration of women's day, let us educate and empower those in need. Wishing a very happy Women's Day to all.”

नवी मुंबई, ७ मार्च २०२३: टर्कीमध्ये नुकत्याच झालेल्या आपत्तीमुळे हजारो लोकांचा मृत्यू झाला आहे आणि हजारो लोक जखमी झाले आहेत. बचावाचा टप्पा पूर्ण झाला असून आता पुनर्वसनाचा आणि पुन्हा स्थिरस्थावर होण्याचा टप्पा नुकताच सुरू झाला आहे. यामध्ये अनेक रुग्णालयांची पडझड झाली आणि आता ती रुग्णालये कार्यरत नाहीत. डॉक्टर्स आणि परिचारिका देखील कमी झाले आहेत.या कठीण काळात टर्कीला मदत करण्यासाठी अपोलो हॉस्पिटल्स आणि लाइफसाइन्सने १००० रिमोट पेशंट मॉनिटरिंग पॅच दान करण्यासाठी भागीदारी केली आहे. जेव्हा रुग्णांना हृदयाच्या ठोक्यांची लय आणि महत्त्वाच्या लक्षणांचे निरीक्षण करणे आवश्यक असते तेव्हा हे पॅचेस वापरले जाऊ शकतात. ते डॉक्टरांना रुग्णाच्या हृदयाचे ठोके, इसीजी लय, श्वसन दर, तापमान आणि स्थिती यांचे विश्वसनीयपणे निरीक्षण करण्यास परवानगी देते. ज्यांना रुग्णालयाच्या बाहेर किंवा फील्ड वर काळजी घेण्याची आवश्यकता आहे अशा रुग्णांसाठी हे पॅचेस वापरले जाऊ शकतात.

जीवितहानी टाळण्यासाठी महत्त्वाच्या लक्षणांचे वेळेवर निरीक्षण करणे आवश्यक असते; विशेषतः जेव्हा रुग्णांना त्यांची नेहमीची काळजी आणि औषधे उपलब्ध नसतील आणि आपल्या घरदाराच्या झालेल्या नुकसानामुळे जेव्हा ते प्रचंड ताण सहन करत असतील तेव्हा तर हे निरीक्षण अधिक गरजेचे असते. अपोलो हॉस्पिटल्सचे डॉ. साई प्रवीण हरनाथ म्हणाले, “अपोलो हॉस्पिटल टर्कीला त्यांच्या या कठीण प्रसंगामध्ये आपल्या संपूर्ण क्रिटीकल केअर आणि जी या रुग्णांवर देखरेख ठेवण्यासाठी मदत करू शकते अशा सब स्पेशालिस्ट टीम सह-वैद्यकीय मार्गदर्शन आणि सहाय्य करण्यासाठी तयार आहे.”

श्री. हरी सुब्रमणियम, मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी, लाइफसाइन्स म्हणाले, “एक कंपनी म्हणून आमचा नेहमीच विश्वास आहे की, महत्त्वाच्या लक्षणांवर कुठेही आणि कधीही निरीक्षण करणे गरजेचे असते आणि आमची उपकरणे रुग्णांच्या जखमा भरून येण्यासाठी, हानी टाळण्यासाठी व रुग्ण बरे व्हावेत म्हणून रुग्णांच्या संदर्भात महत्त्वाचे निर्णय घेण्यास डॉक्टरांना मदत करतात करतात.”

वेदॅत बुलूत, सरचिटणीस प्राध्यापक, टर्की मेडिकल असोसिएशन सेंट्रल कौन्सिल म्हणाले,“मानवतावादी वैद्यकीय मदतीसाठी आणि अपोलो हॉस्पिटल समूहाच्या एकात्मत भावनेसाठी बद्दल टर्की मेडिकल असोसिएशनच्यावतीने आम्ही कृतज्ञ आहोत. भूकंपग्रस्तांच्या मदतीसाठी केलेले सर्व प्रयत्न अमूल्य  आहेत. अदाना मेडिकल चेंबर हे आता आपत्ती क्षेत्रातील सामुग्री व रसद पुरवठा  केंद्र आहे आणि सर्व वैद्यकीय पुरवठा अदाना मेडिकल चेंबरमधून अन्य शहरांकडे वितरित केला  जातो. विशेषतः चार शहरांचे या आपत्तीमुळे मोठे नुकसान झाले आहे आणि या शहरांमध्ये वैद्यकीय चेंबर्सच्या इमारतीही कोसळल्या आहेत.”

              

डॉ. श्री. सेलाहत्तीन मेंटे, अध्यक्ष, रेडिएशन ऑन्कॉलॉजी स्पेशालिस्ट-अदाना मेडिकल चेंबर म्हणाले,“१५ दशलक्ष लोकांसह एकूण ११ प्रांत प्रभावित झालेल्या या भूकंपाच्या आपत्तीमध्ये आपण दाखविलेल्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय एकात्मतेबद्दल आम्ही तुमचे आभारी आहोत.संपूर्ण प्रयत्न अनेक देशांमध्ये पसरलेल्या स्वयंसेवकांच्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय नेटवर्कद्वारे शक्य झाला आहे आणि यासाठी टर्कीमधील आधीच अनेक समस्यांना हाताळत असलेल्या व्यस्त डॉक्टरांचे प्रचंड समन्वय व सहकार्य लागले. आम्हाला आशा आहे की, उपकरणे आणि तज्ज्ञांच्या या देणगीमुळे या दोन महान देशांमध्ये एक वैद्यकीय सेतु तयार करण्यात आणि आपादग्रस्तांचे दु:ख कमी करण्यात मदत होईल.''

 मिलीनीयर संगीतकार प्रशांत नाकतीचं 'हार्टब्रेक झाला' गाणं प्रदर्शित, तर ऐका निक आणि रितेशचा हटके रॅप !

तुम्ही किंवा तुमच्या ग्रूपमधील कोणता मित्र किंवा मैत्रीण सिंगल आहे का ? मग हे गाणं तुम्ही नक्की ऐका...!! 'मिलीनीयर' म्हणून ओळख असणारा संगीतकार 'प्रशांत नाकती' घेऊन आलाय एक धम्माल गाणं. संगीत सृष्टीत पहिल्यांदाच कोणत्यातरी अल्बमच्या गाण्याचा तिसरा भाग प्रदर्शित होत आहे. याआधी 'मी सिंगल' आणि 'माझी जानू' यानंतर तिसरा भाग म्हणजेच 'हार्टब्रेक झाला' हे गाणं नुकतंच प्रदर्शित झालं आहे.

 प्रशांतची 'पोरी तुझ्या नादानं, माझी बायगो, लाजरान साजरा मुखडा, मी नादखुळा, आपली यारी  अशी एकाहून एक भन्नाट गाणी तुफान व्हायरल झाली. प्रेमकहाणी सोबत सामाजिक विषय देखील त्यांच्या गाण्यात दिसून येतात.  

प्रशांत नाकती 'हार्टब्रेक झाला' या गाण्याविषयी सांगतो, "हार्टब्रेक झाला हे गाणं मी सिंगल या गाण्याचा तिसरा भाग आहे. मी सिंगल आणि माझी जानू या गाण्यांना भरभरून प्रेम मिळालं. खरतरं ही एक तिनं मित्रांची गोष्ट आहे. निक शिंदे, रितेश कांबळे, गौरी पवार, सृष्टी आंबवले आणि स्नेहल लांघे हे कलाकार आहेत. प्रत्येकवेळी या दोन मुलांना मुलगी मिळत नाही. ते सिंगल राहतात. अशी एक धम्माल गोष्ट या तिन्ही गाण्यांमध्ये दिसून येते. हे गाणं केवल वाळंज आणि सोनाली सोनावणे यांनी गायलं आहे."

पुढे तो सांगतो, "हे गाणं नाशिक येथे शुट झालं आहे. तीन दिवस हे शुटं होतं. शुटींगच्या तिसऱ्या दिवशी निक आणि रितेशच्या फॅन्समुळे आम्हाला शुटिंग लोकेशन वरून लवकर निघालं लागलं. बाऊंसर असूनही प्रचंड गर्दी झाली. परंतु सगळ्यांनाच शुट करताना मजा आली. अभिजीत दानी यांनी या गाण्याचं दिग्दर्शन केलं आहे. मी आणि संकेत गुरव आम्ही दोघांनी या गाण्याचं संगीत केलं आहे. या गाण्याची खास गोष्ट अशी की आम्ही पहिल्यांदाच या गाण्यात रॅप केला आहे. 'ट्रेंडींग चल रहा है' असं या रॅपचं नावं आहे. हा रॅप निक शिंदे आणि रितेश कांबळेनेच गायला आहे."

संगीतकार प्रशांत नाकतीच्या 'मी सिंगल' अल्बमच्या चौथ्या भागात निक आणि रितेशला मुलगी भेटणारं का ? की ते सिंगलच राहणार हे पाहणं औत्सुक्याचं ठरेलं!!
