‘We’re not dependent on the film and TV industry to tell our stories now,’ says Naman Rajendra on OTT providing a platform for writers

In the world of storytelling, writers have often found themselves on the sidelines, but that narrative is changing, and it’s changing fast. Initially, they used to rely solely on the silver screen and TV for stories, but now, with the rise of OTT platforms, the game is different. It’s like a breath of fresh air for new talents, and Naman Rajendra, the writer of Pocket FM’s audio series Insta Empire is a shining
example of it.

 Spilling the beans on the shift in the writer’s landscape, Naman revealed, “Writing used to feel like knocking on the film industry’s door, hoping they’d let us in. Now, with OTT platforms both video and audio; it’s like finding the key to our own door. We’re not dependent on the film and TV industry or anyone else to tell our stories; we’re the architects of our narratives. It’s a game-changer, a storyteller’s dream come true. Especially with platforms like Pocket FM, where new talents are encouraged and writers are celebrated, we’ve broken free from the traditional path. We’ve got our own stage to showcase our skills, and the audience is ready and waiting. It’s not just a career; it’s a revolution in storytelling, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”

Hailing from the heart of Rajasthan, Pali, Naman, at the youthful age of 29, is rewriting the script for writers. Armed with a Bachelor’s in Mass Media and Communication and a Diploma in Screenwriting, he started his journey at 18 as a crime journalist. From the airwaves of a Radio Station in Jaipur to scripting for Prithvi Theatres, Naman’s journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.

 When asked about his writing inspiration, Naman shared, “Anurag Kashyap has been a consistent source of inspiration for my writing. His unique storytelling and unconventional approach have always fascinated me.” And when asked what fuels his pen? “Real-life experiences and the stories I come across,” he added.

Looking ahead, Naman’s dreams are as practical as they are emotional. Opening up about his future plans he said, “I’m eager to explore crime thriller writing. It’s a genre that has always intrigued me, and I look forward to creating gripping stories in that space. I believe there’s a lot of untapped potential in this genre.”

Insta Empire revolves around Naksh, once the heir to Surat’s wealthiest family. Abandoned by his own kin and despised by his in-laws due to a perilous decision that led to losing everything, Naksh faced harsh repercussions. However, as fate takes an unexpected turn, Naksh’s gamble is on the brink of paying off, and he stands at the precipice, ready to roll the dice once more. The audio series
unfolds as Naksh navigates a journey of redemption, resilience, and the unpredictable twists of life.

From Politicians to Sportsmen, Cinestars to Common Man all paid their heart touching Tributes to Saharasri

· Amitabh Bachchan, Yogi Aditya Nath, Akhilesh Yadav, P.V. Sindhu, Yuvraj Singh, Saina Nehwal, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Anupam Kher, Pullela Gopichand, Madhur Bhandarkar and many more paid tributes to Saharasri and called his demise a big loss to the country

· Sahara Group said it has robust fundamentals and a well-defined organizational structure. ‘We are committed to upholding the legacy of Saharasri and will continue to honor his vision in driving the organization with the same force and determination’

Kolkata, 21st November 2023: Managing Worker and Chairman of Sahara India Pariwar, one of the biggest conglomerates of India, Subrata Roy Sahara, fondly called Saharasri, received heart-touching tributes from people from all walks of life. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Hon’ble Shri Yogi Aditya Nath expressed his deepest sorrow on the death of Saharasri while the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Shri Akhilesh Yadav said it was an emotional loss of the state and our country as Saharasri was not only a successful businessman but also a person of big heart who helped and supported countless individuals.

Saharasri passed away on 14th November 2023 at 10.30 pm due to cardiorespiratory arrest following an extended battle with complications arising from metastatic malignancy, hypertension, and diabetes at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute in Mumbai. He was brought to Lucknow on 15th November and the last rites took place on 16th November. In this moment of sorrow his wife Smt. Swapna Roy, daughter-in-law Smt. Richa Roy – wife of his elder son Shri Sushanto Roy and Smt. Chandni Roy – wife of younger son Shri Seemanto Roy received immensely emotional condolences from thousands of people. The spokesperson of Sahara India Pariwar said that at this moment of great sorrow, both the Deputy Managing Workers of Sahara India Pariwar Shri O.P. Srivastava and Shri J.B. Roy – younger brother of Subrata Roy Sahara provided paternal support to the family and the entire Sahara India Pariwar.

Amongst the first who met with Smt. Swapna Roy in Mumbai immediately after the death of Saharasri was Shri Amitabh Bachchan who was accompanied by his son Shri Abhishek Bachchan and his daughter Ms. Shweta Bachchan Nanda. They reached the Sahara Star Hotel in Mumbai to pay their last respects. Shri Amitabh Bachchan used his blog also to mourn the loss. World Badminton Champion P.V. Sindhu said, ‘It is heartbroken to learn about the passing of Saharasri. He has always treated me with nothing but love, affection, and respect.

Shri Amitabh Bachcan paid tribute

Saharasri founded Sahara India Pariwar in 1978 with Rs. 2000, one 10’ x 12’ office room, and 2 assistants, and transformed the landscape of micro-saving in India. He offered financial services to the unbanked and financially excluded population by educating and inculcating the habit of saving in them. In 2004, Sahara Group was termed by Time magazine as “the second-largest employer in India” after Indian Railways. The group operates through more than 5,000 establishments spread across India and has a field and office workforce of around 12 Lakhs under the Sahara India umbrella.

On the question of what is the way forward for the group, Sahara said “Sahara India Pariwar is a professionally managed organization. The organization has robust fundamentals and a well-defined organizational structure. All the business verticals are already headed by the efficient and professionally skilled people of their respective fields. Hon’ble Saharasri Ji has always been and will always remain our source of inspiration. Sahara India Pariwar is committed to upholding his legacy and will continue to honor his vision in driving the organization with the same force and determination.”

Subrata Roy Sahara, more than a businessman, was a nationalist and philanthropist. Post Kargil War, the then Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee praised Sahara India led by Subrata Roy Sahara for providing financial support to the 320 families of martyrs. He received profound affection from Mother Teresa on many occasions. Saharasri Subrata Roy gave financial assistance to families of martyrs of the Kargil war, and Mumbai terror attack by paying five times their gross salaries for the next ten years and beyond for those families who had underage children, Dantewada Massacre victims, assisted the victims of natural calamity by getting them relocated and rehabilitated, took healthcare services to the remote corners of the country via a fleet of mobile health vans, initiated adult literacy and vocational training programs, started projects for the rehabilitation of physically challenged people and annually organized mass marriages ceremony for 101 underprivileged girls from all faiths and communities of the society.

Subrata Roy Sahara was a prime promoter and patron of Indian sports. He himself was fond of badminton and used to play every day. He strongly believed that sport is the most healthy, energetic, and spirited facet of society, and promoted Indian sports on regional, national, and international levels. Apart from sponsoring the Indian Cricket and Hockey Teams for more than a decade, Sahara adopted Indian Boxing, Wrestling, Archery, Shooting, Track and field, Tennis, and Volleyball and extended support to a large number of sportspersons across these sporting disciplines.

The deep relationship that Saharasri enjoyed with the players can be gauged through the condolence message from the great Cricketer Yuvraj Singh who said, ‘Saharasri was a great man and a warrior. When I got diagnosed with cancer, he was one of the few people who stood by me and supported me. Saharasri’s sad demise is a huge loss and a very difficult void to fill.

New mixed-bed resin from LANXESS for ultra-pure water in semiconductor production
Lewatit UPW 1296 MD PLUS

Liquid Purification Technologies,LPT,UPW,ultra pure water, Lewatit

Mumbai, November 21, 2023 – Specialty chemicals company LANXESS has developed a new mixed-bed resin for ultra-pure water in semiconductor production. In comparison with the established Lewatit UltraPure 1296 MD mixed bed, the new UltraPure 1296 MD PLUS boasts a much lower content of metals such as iron, zinc and sodium. Early installations of the product as a final polishing filter in semiconductor manufacturing have yielded results close to the current analytical limits of detection.

LANXESS will be unveiling its new type of ion exchange resin to trade visitors at the UltraPure Micro conference being held in Austin in the US state of Texas from October 10 to 12, 2023.

“The Lewatit UltraPure 1296 MD PLUS produced in Germany is a vital component for cost-effective, sustainable and fault-free manufacturing in the fast-growing international semiconductor industry,” says Hans-Juergen Wedemeyer, Technical Marketing Manager at the Liquid Purification Technologies business unit at LANXESS.

Lewatit UltraPure 1296 MD PLUS for the toughest assignments

The manufacturing of semiconductors and displays calls for complex water treatment to ensure that the water used is of the required purity. The latest generation of wafers and microchips demands a correspondingly high level of quality from the ion exchange resin systems employed. Furthermore, new analytical systems are capable of analyzing ions in the low ppt (parts per trillion) range. For some types of ion, they can go as low as the ppq (parts per quadrillion) range. Achieving the performance of semiconductors required by modern industry can necessitate as many as 200 treatment steps. The ultra-pure water needed for this is provided by means of a complex multi-stage process. The most important steps in the operation include conventional primary demineralization with standard ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis, degasification, ultrafiltration and hydrogen peroxide removal, while the last stage is final polishing with an ultra-pure mixed bed. The new Lewatit UltraPure 1296 MD PLUS ion exchange resin type was developed specifically for this final step, which is absolutely critical to the success of the process as a whole.

The ultra-pure water treated in this way can then be used in etching and cleaning processes in microchip production. “The high total capacity and degree of regeneration of the anion and cation exchange resins also result in excellent operating capacity for the removal of boron and silica, as well as metal ions,” says Wedemeyer.

“The bead sizes of the monodisperse components are designed to avoid an inadvertent separation of cation and anion exchange resins. Due to the special production process for Lewatit UltraPure 1296 MD PLUS, the release of particles and TOC is within an extremely low range,” adds Wedemeyer.
