Swiggy Launches the ‘Explore’ Feature to Help Users Go Beyond Their Usual Orders

19th June 2024 – Swiggy, India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform, has announced the launch of ‘Explore’—a new feature designed to elevate food discovery for users. Catering to the ever-present desire for ‘aaj kuch naya try karen?’, this feature addresses the common challenge faced by frequent users who feel constrained by their past orders or their familiarity with available options. With ‘Explore,’ users can broaden their culinary horizons, discovering new dishes and restaurants effortlessly.
The ‘Explore’ feature offers a range of personalized suggestions, from restaurants users have never tried to new cuisines and dishes that put a fresh spin on their favorites. Each recommendation is backed by reasons and social proof, making it easier for users to explore something different. The feature also highlights award-winning restaurants, legendary local restaurants and trending or most-ordered dishes, helping users uncover hidden gems and explore new culinary experiences.
Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Food Marketplace Swiggy, mentioned, “Swiggy has thousands of unique dishes on the platform, yet most users typically repeat the same 8-10 dishes. This isn’t because they’re not open to trying something new but because there hasn’t been a quick and relevant way to do so. The Explore feature introduces personalized options to users, offering a chance to discover a new dish, a new restaurant, or even a trending dish they may not have tasted before.”
While Explore is a good discovery avenue for users to find new restaurants, it provides an opportunity for restaurants to showcase their unique offerings as well. It also encourages them to experiment with new dishes and cuisines easily, attracting more customers and increasing their visibility. Sandhya Seshadri, owner of Choux Box Patisserie, shared her experience, “I was relying heavily on social media to get users to try my restaurant. Swiggy is helping us reach more customers via their Explore feature.”
Available through Swiggy’s food ordering page, users can now seamlessly navigate through a curated selection of legendary eateries, hidden gems, bestseller dishes in their area, and favorite cuisines from new restaurants.

Trucent Renewable Chemicals Welcomes Local STEM Students and Educators with Ohio’s Lt. Governor

Van Wert, OH, June 18, 2024 — Trucent Renewable Chemicals was honored to host the “Educators on Location” group at their Van Wert facility on June 6, 2024. This initiative, part of Ohio’s Teacher Bootcamp program, aims to provide educators with a deeper understanding of local industries and job opportunities for their students. They were particularly pleased to welcome Ohio’s Lt. Governor Jon Husted as part of this event.
The Teacher Bootcamp program, funded by the state, brings educators from Van Wert and Lincolnview to businesses around the county, helping them gain insights into the various career paths available to their students. This program is crucial in aligning educational outcomes with local workforce needs.
During the visit, Lt. Governor Husted emphasized the importance of such programs in addressing the state’s labor shortage. “If your job is to be an educator, you’re focused on kids and what’s happening in the schools, but you never really get a chance to go see the businesses and meet the people that fuel, literally, the economy of your community,” Husted stated. “With this, we create intentional efforts to help teachers get the experience of seeing what’s happening in businesses. The businesses participate because that means they have some advocates right there in the school to help the students understand what kind of skills they need to go to work.”
The educators toured the facility, learning about Trucent’s innovative biocatalytic splitting technology, which produces high-quality fatty acids from various vegetable oils with significantly reduced energy consumption. This exposure not only highlighted the advanced manufacturing processes used at Trucent Renewable Chemicals but also underscored the diverse career opportunities available within the renewable chemicals industry.
“We are thrilled to be part of the Educators on Location program,” said Bill Hayes, Vice President of Trucent Renewable Chemicals. “By opening our doors to local educators, we hope to inspire future generations and provide them with a clearer picture of the potential career paths in their community.”
In addition to hosting the Educators on Location, Trucent Renewable Chemicals welcomed a local junior high school chemistry class earlier in the same week. The students were given an interactive tour of the facility, where they learned about the science and technology behind Trucent products. This event was designed to spark their interest in STEM fields and demonstrate the real-world applications of their classroom learning.
Trucent Renewable Chemicals is dedicated to fostering educational partnerships and supporting workforce development in Ohio. Trucent believes that by collaborating with educators and state officials, we can help build a stronger, more knowledgeable community.

Fantasy Sports EVO is Changing the Way Daily Fantasy Sports is Played

Parsippany, NJ, June 18, 2024 — Unique team-based platform simplifies daily fantasy sports.
Fantasy Sports EVO launches a unique daily fantasy sports platform where users pick teams, not players to build their lineups. This new format completely reimagines fantasy sports and was released to glowing reviews the past fall.
“Fantasy Sports EVO is a fresh and unique take on Daily Fantasy Sports! Their team-based approach makes it accessible and easy to play,” said Connor Allen of 4×4 Fantasy Football.
The platform hosts all major professional sports including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and the WNBA. The company is largely run by women who recognize that this segment of the population is often overlooked in the fantasy sports world. EVO’s streamlined approach makes DFS accessible to everyone – women or men who had not previously entered the world of fantasy sports.
“We are excited to now offer WNBA contests. The momentum behind women’s sports is strong right now. So many great things are happening at all levels, and I believe women are an untapped market in fantasy sports,” said Tara Kovatch, VP of Player Accounts at EVO.
Each day in the Lobby you will find a variety of game types and entry fees to choose from. Users select teams for each scoring category to build their lineups. This groundbreaking approach makes fantasy less intimidating for new players, and much less time consuming. No need to spend hours researching players, stats, and injury reports. Points accrue from individual player statistics from the team you selected for that specific scoring category.
“We are shaking up fantasy sports. This past football season was our first full season and we were thrilled to see that the platform generated quite a bit of excitement,” said Kovatch.
Fantasy Sports EVO is currently available in 28 states and Canada (excluding Ontario). Eligible customers can access the latest games by downloading the EVO app via iOS and Android.
So whether you’re a seasoned sports aficionado or casual fan, our user-friendly interface will help you effortlessly choose your preferred sport, assemble your dream team, and immerse yourself in the game.

Nana’s Kitchen Founder & CEO Shelina Mawani Leads Summer Issue of PORTFOLIO.YVR Business & Entrepreneurs Magazine
Vancouver, Canada, June 18, 2024 –EcoLuxLuv Marketing & Communications Inc (ELL Comms), the publisher of numerous eco- and eco-luxury lifestyle titles in western Canada, has released the Summer Issue of PORTFOLIO.YVR Business & Entrepreneurs Magazine with Nana’s Kitchen Founder & CEO Shelina Mawani as its lead feature.
With a journey that began in Mwanza, Tanzania, Mawani, affectionately known as Canada’s “Samosa Queen,” has built a “grab & go” empire that produces over 30,000 hand-made Indian pastries each day, a Mexi Food Line, and a soon-to-launch “toasty” product line.
In addition to Mawani, the 100-page Summer issue features David Wong (Oration Global), Kris Krug (Future Proof Creatives), Luxx Nova Bridal, Ritchie Po (Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Lawyer), Brittany Michalchuk (YVR Entrepreneurs Club), Jordan Kallman (The Social Concierge), Julie Vu (Content Creator, Activist), Raquel Grebler Quesne (Ahblo Luxury Knitwear), and Reece Sims (Sip Spirits Consulting).
With the launch of PORTFOLIO.YVR Issue #4, Siwak shares that “PORTOFOLIO.YVR is a personality-driven business magazine that allows investors and the business community to learn more about what drives those making change through tech, services, innovation, and more. Our readers are taken on a more heartfelt journey without the traditional business magazine style (‘stats and graphs,’ comparisons, and market analysis) to tell the story and invite engagement, collaboration, investment, or whatever the entrepreneur seeks.”
The eco-friendly digital magazine is free, easily shareable, and features profiles of 10 entrepreneurs and businesses innovating and positively impacting Canada’s business and economy. PORTFOLIO.YVR is positioned as a sponsored content marketing vehicle, with each issue incorporating a curated approach to content that includes a very effective post-publishing digital marketing strategy. It offers entrepreneurs and businesses an omnichannel process that puts the issue’s content in the inboxes of over 50K professionals through a series of newsletters, affiliate database shares, and social media platforms. This hybrid approach delivers the story to the audience in various formats to ensure success.
Feedback from previously featured entrepreneurs includes Craig Patterson of Retail Insider: “I find PORTFOLIO.YVR Business & Entrepreneurs to be a much-needed publication in that it offers a fresh new voice for business coverage in the Vancouver and Canada-wide markets. The no-advertising format allows for straightforward, uninterrupted, informative storytelling and humanizes entrepreneurs in a way not seen elsewhere. I thoroughly enjoyed the first issue and look forward to discovering and reading the stories of people I know will be on my radar for Retail Insider soon.”
Will Fan of Emobily: “It was great to have someone like Helen to guide me in a peer-to-peer conversation to explore my business more and more and perceive my story, which is extremely hard for a Founder. Understanding the complex reality of success in my life – the vulnerability – she was able to observe and describe me exactly who I am.”
