India’s Bloom Hotels sees about a 60% boost in revenue with AxisRooms
Bangalore, 05/01/2024: AxisRooms, a leading hotel distribution technology provider, said India’s Bloom Hotels has registered about a 60% spike in its revenue in 2023 vs 2022. The revenue growth is attributed to about 50% more online (OTA) sales via AxisRooms Channel Manager solution’s real-time distribution and Revenue Management system’s intelligent pricing capabilities.
With 47 properties spread across the width and breadth of India, Bloom Hotels has been providing exceptional service to its guests in line with its philosophy – a great room in the best location at a surprisingly affordable rate. It caters to both leisure and business travellers.
Without a Channel Manager, the Bloom Hotels management had difficulty updating rates and availability on OTAs, leading to inconsistency. Additionally, selling more rooms at the best rates to increase occupancy and revenue was a significant challenge as they didn’t have a Revenue Management System.
Speaking about their decision to adopt AxisRooms in 2017, Hemant Verma, Group Revenue Manager, Bloom Hotels, said, “Our objective was to drive online sales, primarily via OTAs. After a few rounds of careful deliberations, we found that AxisRooms Channel Manager fit all our requirements. The speed/efficiency of their Channel Manager tool and intuitiveness of their Revenue Management system were key factors in adopting them.”
Expressing his views about the business benefits witnessed with AxisRooms, Hemant further said, “It is great to see that our room sales and revenue have gone up by 50% and 60%, respectively, in 2023 compared to 2022, thanks to the AxisRooms Channel Manager and Revenue Management System. This has undoubtedly been our best business investment so far.”
“We are thrilled to see that Bloom Hotels are experiencing exceptional business benefits from our solutions,” said Ravi Taneja, Chief Operating Officer at AxisRooms. “The increase in their sales and revenue is proof of our dedication to assisting hotels with high-quality solutions that result in unmatched growth.”

The Gold Standard Technology for Scar Remodeling by Dr. Ajay Rana
By – Dr. Ajay Rana – Dermatologist, Surgeon &Amp; Aesthetic Physician – The Founder And Director Of ILAMED & Amp; Dermalyn Aesthetics
Scars, whether caused by surgery, injury, or skin conditions, can be both a physical and emotional burden for individuals. In the quest for flawless skin, the world of dermatology and medical aesthetics has seen remarkable advancements. Among these innovations, the CO2 laser has emerged as the gold standard technology for scar remodeling. This article explores the significance of CO2 lasers in transforming scarred skin, its effectiveness, and the benefits it offers to those seeking a renewed sense of self-confidence.
The Science Behind CO2 Lasers
Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are a type of high-energy laser that has been used in medicine for several decades. They work by producing a highly focused beam of light that is absorbed by water molecules within the skin. This interaction results in the vaporization of the targeted skin tissue and promotes collagen production. In the context of scar remodeling, CO2 lasers are adept at stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to smoother, more even-toned skin.
The Versatility of CO2 Lasers
CO2 lasers have earned their reputation as the gold standard technology for scar remodeling due to their versatility. These lasers can be customized to treat various types of scars, including:
1. Surgical Scars: Postoperative scars can be effectively treated with CO2 lasers to reduce redness and make them less noticeable.
2. Acne Scars: For those suffering from acne scars, CO2 lasers can resurface the skin, minimizing the depth and appearance of these scars.
3. Keloid Scars: These raised, thickened scars can be challenging to manage. CO2 lasers can help flatten and reduce the appearance of keloid scars.
4. Burn Scars: Burns often leave behind disfiguring scars. CO2 lasers can be used to improve the texture and color of burn scars, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
5. Traumatic Scars: Injuries, accidents, and other traumas can result in scars that cause emotional distress. CO2 lasers offer a solution for those seeking to minimize the impact of traumatic scars.
The Treatment Process
The CO2 laser scar remodeling procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting, and it is a minimally invasive technique. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Consultation: A thorough evaluation of the scar and the patient’s skin type is conducted to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
3. Laser Treatment: The CO2 laser is carefully adjusted to match the specific scar’s characteristics. The laser removes the damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen production.
4. Recovery: Patients may experience some redness, swelling, and discomfort following the procedure. However, these side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days to a week.
5. Follow-Up: Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the scar’s type and severity. The dermatologist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
The Benefits of CO2 Laser Scar Remodeling
Effective Scar Reduction: CO2 lasers offer significant improvement in the appearance of scars, resulting in smoother and more even skin texture.
Minimal Downtime: While there may be some initial discomfort and redness, recovery is relatively quick, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with minimal disruption.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: The transformative effects of CO2 laser scar remodeling extend beyond the physical. Patients often report improved self-esteem and a more positive body image.
Customisable Treatment: CO2 laser settings can be adjusted to cater to individual patient needs, making it suitable for various skin types and scar conditions.
Conclusion
For individuals burdened by scars that affect their appearance and self-esteem, CO2 lasers have emerged as the gold standard technology for scar remodeling. The versatility and effectiveness of CO2 lasers in treating various scar types, combined with minimal downtime and enhanced self- confidence, make them a powerful tool in the field of dermatology and medical aesthetics. Consult with a qualified dermatologist or medical professional to explore the potential of CO2 laser scar remodeling and rediscover the confidence that comes with beautiful, scar-free skin.

The President of Heartfulness Institute, Shri Kamlesh D Patel (Daaji), the visionary behind all the Green initiatives of Heartfulness, said, “Our experience with Plasma Waters has been very positive. It has shown significant results in germination, stand quality & disease management. Since this is a natural sustainable solution, Heartfulness would not only use it, recommend it but also meaningfully contribute to the R&D activities of the company in India.”
