    Modi’s monthly broadcast reminds media about National Emergency’s shackles

    NEW DELHI: “There might have been locks on newspaper houses, radio might have been speaking just one kind of language,” but “given the opportune moment, the citizens gave an example of the power of Democracy.”

    Referring to the National Emergency that was declared on the night of 25-26 June 1975, 41 years ago to the date, in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Modi added, “A great example of the democratic strength of the common people was witnessed during Emergency”.

    The 21st edition of ‘Mann ki Baat’ on 26 June 2016 on All India Radio coincided with the anniversary of the declaration of the National Emergency of 1975, often referred to as the dark day for the Indian media.

    Modi said the country’s strength lies in its people and and making democracy a living embodiment.

    He noted at the outset that “sometimes my ‘Mann Ki Baat’ is ridiculed a lot and is criticized much also. However, this can only happen because all of us are committed to democracy.”

    (In the May broadcast, Modi had lauded All India Radio for broadcasting his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ in regional languages on the day he talks to the nation.)

    PayUmoney & Zepo launch campaign to celebrate women’s entrepreneurship month

    MUMBAI: PayUmoney and Zepo have joined hands to celebrate women’s entrepreneurship month with the launch of a new campaign, which aims at assisting enterprising women to create an e-commerce store for their businesses within minutes.

    The campaign, which will run till 9 March, 2016 will see Zepo providing a 50 per cent discount on their seed plan powered by PayUmoney.

    PayUmoney head of channel partnership and alliances Paritosh Sharma said, “The concept was inspired by Modi’s Startup India Campaign. Women entrepreneurs who are running with the audacious mission of establishing a passionate following for their art and creativity online can start their e-commerce store on Zepo. There are many enterprising women across the country who due to lack of knowledge in technology and online trading haven’t been able to scale their businesses beyond certain geographies. With the launch of this campaign we wish to inspire more and more women entrepreneurs to become a part of the e-commerce boom.”

    Zepo founder Nitin Purswani added, “We have a long standing partnership with PayUmoney and are excited to take it to a new level. With this campaign we are now becoming enablers for the larger Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem. This association will help women entrepreneurs take their businesses across geographies. I summon all the enterprising women across the country to make the maximum of this campaign and make this association a success.”

    Cheerkart.com founder Madhumita said, “After 10 years of corporate career when I wanted to nurture my passion of art and craft, I was sure that having an online store was the best way to provide a direct link between buyers of art and remotely located artisans. In my search for a well-priced solution to host my website, I scourged through a number of options but none appealed to me more than Zepo.in. Zepo made it easy for me as I did not have to look out for payment gateways, domain providers and logistics support separately as they gave me a complete package with an extremely user friendly portal. PayUmoney has been an easy to use payment solution for my customers as they can make payments using credit cards, debit cards, netbanking and mobile wallets. Thus, CheerKart.com came about, which is a repository of traditional and modern handcrafted items and designs suitable for personal, commercial, and gifting purposes. Some of the rarest forms of art can be found and purchased at the click of a mouse.”
