    Britannia Marie Gold in partnership with NSDC announces India’s first Skill Development Program for homemakers to startup

    MUMBAI: Britannia Marie Gold has announced the launch of the second season of its annual ‘Britannia Marie Gold My Startup’ initiative which provides financial assistance to homemakers with entrepreneurial ideas. This year, the brand has partnered with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to launch India’s first-ever skill development programme customized for women with entrepreneurial aspirations. 10,000 women homemakers from across the country will undergo this online certification course between April and June 2020. The online training touches upon all key levers of entrepreneurship.  The Britannia Marie Gold My Start Up initiative is designed to help India’s homemakers become financially independent and transform them into job creators.

    The online courses will be available through NSDC’s eSkillIndia portal that drives Government of India‘s Skill India Mission digitally. The e-courses will empower women to gain basic communication skills, financial literacy along with information and communication technology (ICT), and micro entrepreneurial skills for socio economic self-reliance. The online nature of the training provides easy access to the courses from the comfort of their homes across the country. The primary aim is to train women on key functional skills to boost their confidence at the start of their entrepreneurial journey. The training program will be available in two languages – English and Hindi.  The digital skilling content will be supported by formative and summative assessments, and eCertification will be awarded to the participants upon successful completion of the course.

    Britannia’s ‘My Startup’ Initiative also provides financial assistance to homemakers who have entrepreneurial ideas backed by a practical business plan. To participate in the program, the homemakers can give a missed call, send a WhatsApp message to the number provided on the Britannia Marie Gold pack or log on to www.mystartupcontest.com and share their business idea.

    Britannia Marie Gold launched the ‘My Marie My Startup’ campaign in the year 2019 on the back of a Nationwide Survey on Barriers and Triggers to Women Entrepreneurship in India conducted in 2018. The overwhelming response of 1.5 million entries in the first Edition of the campaign and the insights gained thereof encouraged the brand to add skill development as a core delivery in the initiative this year.

    Talking about the second edition of Britannia Marie Gold My Start Up campaign and partnership with NSDC, Britannia Industries head of marketing Vinay Subramanyam said: “Britannia Marie Gold My Start Up initiative aims to fulfill Indian women’s aspirations of embarking on an entrepreneurial journey and gaining financial independence. We believe that homemakers are the drivers of growth for a country's success. They have uninhibited energy, endless love and limitless patience. They exhibit an entrepreneurial aptitude in their everyday lives. And yet they seek to do more and be more. This is the rationale for the "Britannia MarieGold My Start up" initiative. Data from a nationwide survey we conducted also pointed out that skill development was a crucial need along with finances. We found the perfect partner in National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to develop and deliver the requisite skills. The scale of the initiative this year has increased manifold with 10,000 homemakers going through an online, certified skill development program. Our partnership with NSDC will help build a vibrant ecosystem and facilitate micro entrepreneurship amongst women.”

    Commending the campaign, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said: “In India only 22 per cent women work while the global average is about 48 per cent. A report by McKinsey specifies that if we reach the world average it would add another USD 700 billion to our economy and for India to grow at high rates of 9 to 10 per cent would not be possible without the participation of women as key entrepreneurs. I would like to compliment this unique initiative by Britannia Marie Gold and the National Skill Development Corporation to transform homemakers to entrepreneurs. We are in the midst of a massive technological disruption and this initiative creates huge opportunities and redefines our existing boundaries in innovation. They are opening up new avenues for business, innovation and entrepreneurship. I am particularly delighted that through this initiative there will be more opportunities for homemakers because women in India have a great spirit for innovation and the resilience to make the best of every available resource and without them it would not be possible for the country to grow, expand and progress.”

    The 21st century poses many challenges that require new ways of thinking, but nothing is more important than the economic role of women in a rapidly changing world. A key pillar to lead this transformation is skill development.

    Sharing his thoughts on the same, NSDC MD and CEO Manish Kumar  quoted, “Women constitute 48 per cent of Indian population but as per estimates only 23 per cent participate in labour force. Skilling initiatives especially focused towards Entrepreneurship and Gig Economy is the need of the hour given that 229.2 million, out of the 301.5 million who are not in the labour force, state their status as ‘attending domestic duties’ and innovative approaches that create economic opportunities for them without conflicting with social needs will be a win-win solution for all. If we could add 20 percentage point more to women labor force, India's GDP will go up by more than 1 trillion USD.”

    Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship joint secretary Anuradha Vemuri said: “In the modern world, more and more women are emerging as beacons, leaders in integral roles contributing towards the nation’s growth. They are change-makers and custodians of a value system that holds the keys to the society’s development. Through their enterprise and compassion, women today are not only transforming their own lives but are also inspiring others to do better. The Government’s vision of Skill India rides on the ability of women to rise as entrepreneurs and employers and we are focusing all our energies to create conditions that empower women to strive for their dreams and ambitions. We will continue to be catalysts in the journey to unlock their potential and help them find success.”

  • Amitabh Bachchan faces heat for Horlicks campaign

    Amitabh Bachchan faces heat for Horlicks campaign

    MUMBAI : Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on May 30 posted a series of tweets announcing his collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) brand Horlicks to fight malnutrition in India. “I am taking the 1st step by joining the biggest movement to fight malnutrition,” tweeted Bachchan tagging media group Network18, prime minister Narendra Modi, union minister for women and child development Maneka Gandhi, CEO of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant and Poshan Abhiyaan, the government programme for combating malnutrition.

    The 75-year-old actor now finds himself at the centre of a controversy after several public health experts wrote to him asking him to end his association with Horlicks. The experts believe the campaign is disingenuous and flouts the optimal nutrition norms.

    “Horlicks is a high sugar product, as 100 gram of a popularly advertised pack of Horlicks Delight, contains 78 gram of carbohydrates of which 32 grams is sucrose sugar,” read the letter from the experts from Nutrition Advocacy in Public Interest – India (NAPi), according to news agency PTI.

    The letter added that representing a brand like Horlicks hurts the veteran actor’s image as a socially responsible celebrity.

    “Going by this recommendation promotion of Horlicks falls in the category of inappropriate as they use false health claims in TV commercials,” the letter stated.

    Horlicks has titled its campaign ‘Mission Poshan’, with a motto “we are here to fight the malnutrition in our country”. Interestingly, the GSK brand has opted for a campaign name that is similar to the government programme ‘Poshan Abhiyaan’.

    “I fear that this campaign may have serious adverse repercussions: Horlicks is expensive and is likely to drain pockets of marginalized families under the misbelief that Horlicks is a good nutritious product for children as it is endorsed by Mr Bachchan. Thus Horlicks may displace healthy real family home foods and this way contravenes tackling the problem of undernutrition among children,” said RML hospital’s head of neonatology department Dr Arti Maria.

    Bachchan, who had ended his association with Pepsi in 2014, is yet to respond to the criticism.

  • Cashless Bano India movement launched by NDTV & Mastercard

    NEW DELHI: ‘Cashless Bano India’, a campaign aimed at accelerating the adoption of digital forms of payments through an on-ground and TV campaign, has been launched to educate the masses about digital payment solutions and encourage its usage for everyday spends.

    This campaign launched by NDTV Mumbai and Mastercard will work with partners in driving behavioral change and spread awareness on the importance of digital payments to millions across the country.

    The campaign was launched through a high decibel panel discussion focusing on the need for a robust digital payments ecosystem in the country.

    Cashless Bano India would also extend to Tier-II and Tier-III cities through on-ground educative sessions aimed at reaching public-at-large as well as merchants with the support of Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

    The panel discussion was attended by Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant, ‎Mastercard Asia Pacific co-president Ari Sarker, CAIT general secretary Praveen Khandelwal, Sr. Fellow, Brookings & Former Government Chief Economic Adviser Dr. Arvind Virmani, former IMF Executive Director, IMF; Axis Bank executive director Rajeev Anand and Punjab National Bank MD and CEO Sunil Mehta and moderated by NDTV consulting editor Vikram Chandra

    Kant said, “The Government has been aggressively driving the push to a less-cash society, bringing a number of policy reforms and initiatives. The vision is to make India lead the world in the evolution of payment systems with technology paving the way. Initiatives like Cashless Bano India will further propel the efforts in bringing a behavioral change towards digital payments and further help in the penetration of digital payments to the last mile.”

    “With digitization becoming a part of our life in more ways than one, cashless payments are the future of our country. While the benefits of digital payments to the nation and to individuals are obvious, many roadblocks to speedy implementation still remain. This brain storming session with all stakeholders including the government, bankers, traders and the aam aadmi hopes to charter a blueprint for secure and simple cashless transactions to help build a better India”, said Chandra.

    “The digital payments industry in India is at an inflection point. Enablers like Jan-Dhan, Aadhaar, mobile penetration, and more recently demonetization have created a strong foundation for large scale adoption of digital payment systems in India. This is a long term story, which will require a combination of infrastructure, sleek user experience with highest standards of safety and security, last mile distribution and reach, together with the right policy initiatives, and significant marketing and communications efforts to build awareness on the benefits of a digital economy”, said Sarker. “Through our collaboration with like-minded partners like NDTV, we want to do our bit to realize the vision of a cashless India.”

    The panel discussion ended with Amitabh Kant, Vikram Chandra and Ari Sarker flagging off a bus, scheduled to travel across the five cities of Kanpur, Jaipur, Surat, Indore and Nagpur. This would be an extended on-ground activation of the campaign, whereby financial literacy and adoption camps would be conducted at the respective cities for traders and merchants.
