National, 23rd September 2024 – Genius Consultants Limited, a leading Workforce Solutions & HR Services Provider has released its latest Digipoll survey report, underscoring the pivotal role Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) play in enhancing organizational efficiency in today’s technology-driven era. The comprehensive survey provides insightful data on employee perspectives regarding HRMS, advanced analytics, and the future of HR operations.
The survey reveals that a remarkable 88% of employees believe HRMS platforms are essential for streamlining and improving the efficiency of HR operations within organizations. This overwhelming consensus highlights the growing recognition of HRMS as a cornerstone of modern HR practices, with only 7% opposing the practice. The widespread acceptance reflects a collective understanding that HRMS platforms are essential for streamlining processes, managing talent more effectively, and adapting to the evolving demands of today’s workforce. It marks a clear indication that integrating advanced HR technologies is becoming a standard practice for forward-thinking organizations.

 In an era where data-driven decisions are crucial, the survey found that 75% of employees view the integration of HR analytics as a vital component for informed talent management strategies. This indicates a strong belief in the power of analytics to drive more effective decision-making processes. Only 17% of employees hold a different view suggesting that traditional methods should take precedence over data-driven strategies, expressing concerns about the implementation or interpretation of analytics in HR.

 Employee engagement and retention are also significant areas of focus. The survey shows that 75% of employees are confident that incorporating advanced analytics into HR processes will substantially boost engagement and retention rates. In today’s time, employee engagement plays a huge role in employee retention parameters, as the current generation views the office culture, adaptable work environment and interactive openness in organizations as much more valuable than basic pay scale. Despite this, 14% of respondents do not agree with the same possibly due to concerns about the accuracy or relevance of the data, the potential for misuse, or a preference for more traditional HR approaches.

 Regarding the support for remote and hybrid workforces, 70% of employees feel that their organization’s current HRMS adequately meets the needs of such flexible work arrangements. However, 22% of employees feel that current systems fall short in this aspect, pointing to a potential area for improvement. This significant minority highlights a potential gap in the system’s capabilities or its adaptability to the changing work environment.

 Predictive analytics is another key area of interest. The report indicates that 75% of employees find predictive analytics a valuable tool for anticipating workforce trends and needs. However, the report also notes that 18% of employees are not convinced of the utility of predictive analytics showcasing reservations about the accuracy or reliability of predictive models, or the practical application of the predictions in real-world scenarios.

 Commenting on the same, Mr. R P Yadav, Chairman & Managing Director, Genius Consultants Limited, said, “Our latest survey underscores a critical shift in the role of Human Resource Management Systems in today’s technology-driven landscape. With 88% of employees recognizing the importance of HRMS platforms for operational efficiency, and 75% supporting the use of advanced analytics to enhance talent management, it’s clear that organizations must embrace these tools to stay competitive. As we navigate an increasingly remote and hybrid work environment, the insights from this survey highlight both the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We are committed to supporting businesses as they adapt to these changes and harness the full potential of HR technology to drive future success.”

 The survey also sheds light on future implications of HRMS advancements. It reveals that 68% of employees believe that with the evolution of HRMS technologies, there might be a decline in manual operations, potentially leading to job cuts and layoffs.

A significant contribution to this success was made by the coordinated efforts of the relevant state institutions, knowledge exchange with international experts and the rollout of various digital government solutions. Notably, the large-scale “Online Azerbaijan” project, which ensures broadband coverage across the entire country, have been instrumental in driving this progress.

Breakthrough in Autism Treatment with Cellular Therapy

By-Dr. Pradeep Mahajan, Regenerative Medicine Researcher & Founder of StemRx Hospital and Research Centre

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which affects millions of individuals around the world and is characterized by impairment in behavior, communication, and social interactions. After years of exploration and treatment, the common type of treatment has been unable to tackle the real problem behind the disorder, which is treating the symptoms. Fortunately, a new cell therapy which has the potential to shape the future of treatment for autism is emerging that has great optimistic for patients, families, and care givers.

Result-Oriented Cellular Therapy for Autism

Over the past few years, cellular therapy, and especially therapies based on stem cells, has been the focus of attention in the treatment of autism. The main purpose of this approach is to replace missing or remodel damaged cells, possibly solving the brain and immune abnormalities seen in people with autism. The innate regenerative power of the body is exploited through the transplantation of healthy cells into the compromised site in order to aid the natural healing process and improve the damaged functional ability.

Recent findings concerning the effectiveness of cellular therapy for autism are astonishing. Surveys and clinical cases demonstrated that patients with autism have significantly better behavioral, cognitive, communicative and social skills. Improvement of eye contact and language development, as well as decrease of aggressiveness are often reported by parents after therapy for their children affected with ASD. Cellular therapy is geared toward ameliorating the neuro-inflammation believed to be responsible for the symptoms of autism and works to restore balance in the body’s functions.

It is this interest in the tangible benefits, which is not without reason, which causes more and more patients to practice cellular therapy as a basic approach to autism. Traditional interventions seek only to contain the disorder. Astoundingly, inhibiting the disease occurs at the cell level and thus has the underlying potential to improve the standard of living of the ASD patients.

India: A Global Destination for Autism Treatment

Regenerative medicine is one area where India has proudly taken the lead, especially when it comes to practices around cellular therapy for children with autism. As the country has a good track record of cellular treatments and good infrastructure, it is a hotbed for patients seeking such treatment across the globe. There has been a shift in the foreign countries, and many are now seeking treatment for autism in India, given the success rates, cost effectiveness and the available superior technology.

The Indian healthcare sector has doors which are always open to patients, a development that’s quite helpful to patients from nations where this option is rather costly or in its initial stages. This is fostered by the fact that the regulations formulate in India helps in the noninvasive application of treatments which are non-conventional such as cellular treatment, encouraging patients to seek improved treatments.

In addition to that, patients and their families are able to enjoy a fully integrated experience thanks to the country’s unique selling point: first-rate treatment, coupled with the cultural aspects of treatment. They combine state of the art technology with a compassionate touch, something that places India as the beacon of hope for every family battling autism.

StemRx: A Global Hub for Cellular Therapy

Leading this technology revolution is StemRx Hospital, a center for excellence in regenerative medicine that has emerged as the global epicenter of cellular therapy. StemRx Hospital and Research Centre in Navi Mumbai, India is known for its innovation in cellular therapy for autism and other conditions. StemRx appears to be successfully treating a wide demographic of patients from all over the world, thanks to its up to date facilities and highly trained medical staff, as well as modern treatment techniques.

StemRx’s patient oriented model has an interesting twist, that is the clinical practice. How the hospital has been able to achieve such success in treatment of autism is through its adherence to evidence based practices and focus on the results. This StemRx and autism intervention method does not only help treat with comorbid conditions, but it also restores the functioning of the brain by introducing stem cells isolated from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood through its well defined advanced protocols.

A New Dawn for Autism Treatment

The use of cellular therapy in treating autism has raised people’s expectations and created a wave of hope all over the world. This novel therapy is not only improving the lives of individuals living with autism but is also transforming the field of neurology. Thanks to StemRx, India is leading the revolution in autism treatment.

With more and more attention being focused on India for clinical purposes, and with intervention entities like StemRx Hospital providing outcomes based management; individuals suffering from autism are benefitting more than what was previously the case. Cellular therapy is not just providing new avenues of cure; it is giving hope to families who have been looking for effective treatment solutions for autism. It is a treatment that has been much awaited for through research, innovation and patient care strategies. It has arrived, and it is a new dawn on the treatment of autism, one filled with those that are filled with optimism.

Indirow’s FY 25 vision: Building 100+ strategic partnerships to revolutionize loan distribution

India, September 23, 2024: Indirow, a pioneering B2B2C lending platform under Internovo Ventures, has unveiled an ambitious plan to empanel over 100 strategic partners in FY 25. This bold expansion comes as part of the company’s drive to reshape the loan distribution and investment landscape in India. Positioned as a B2B2C lending platform, Indirow is setting its sights on empowering independent distributors by offering innovative solutions that address key inefficiencies in the loan onboarding and assessment process.

As the fintech industry continues to evolve, Indirow is taking a forward-thinking approach with its proprietary loan distribution platform. The platform allows distributors to efficiently onboard customers and conduct basic credit assessments, ensuring that loan applications are strategically placed with the most suitable financiers. This process helps eliminate the time-consuming and often frustrating task of marketing cases to funders only to find that the clients were not creditworthy. By addressing this challenge, Indirow is streamlining the entire loan distribution process for its partners.

To enhance its offerings, Indirow has launched an exclusive “by invite only” lender marketplace. It allows channel partners to present customer applications to a network of financiers across India and creates a more efficient path to securing loans. This innovative platform strengthens Indirow’s ability to connect distributors with relevant lenders, improving the speed and efficiency of loan approvals and disbursements.

The demand for retail loans in India continues to rise. In November 2023, outstanding retail loans given by banks exceeded Rs. 50 trillion for the first time. With the market expected to grow steadily, Indirow aims to play a significant role in this growth by supporting small, independent distributors. The company’s focus on technology and its “underwriting-first” philosophy set the foundation for strong, sustainable partnerships.

Currently, Indirow processes loan disbursements at a rate of INR 25 crores per month. The company aims to increase this figure to INR 100 crores per month over the next two quarters. This growth reflects Indirow’s operational efficiency and commitment to building partnerships across India. By the close of FY 25, Indirow plans to have over 100 partners operating under the Internovo brand, expanding its loan distribution network.

These partners will also have the chance to cross-sell products through Internovo’s investment platform, Indivest. With equity SIP inflows reaching INR 1.83 lakh crores in 2023, Indirow envisions creating a one-stop solution for financial products, offering long-term equity investment opportunities to small investors. By fostering these partnerships, Indirow is positioning itself as a central player in financial services, driving growth for both its partners and customers.

Indirow’s strategic expansion plan highlights its commitment to innovation and partnership, positioning the company for a strong presence in the fintech landscape in FY 25. Through technology, streamlined processes, and a focus on distributor empowerment, Indirow is set to make a substantial impact in the year ahead.
