FROM THE EDIT ROOM

ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF A PERFECT SUMMER Summer is finally upon us in all its sweltering glory. Break out the hot dogs, the cold drinks, the ball game and the tanning lotion. With electricity bills shooting up, what with all the ACs and coolers we suddenly so desperately yearn for, there is still a fun side to summer as well – sunbathing, pool parties, cold and creamy smoothies and of course the summer holidays!

ON COVER

And if you’re looking to spend quality time with family, especially your kids, this time of year is the right time to do it. Most schools are closed and kids attend summer camps to keep themselves busy through the day, but make sure you spend as much time as you can with them now before they get back to their hectic school schedules, extracurriculars and the long list of tuition classes. Also keep in mind, that with the heat and sweat attacking us all in full force a lot of attention should be given to our health at this time because, summers are the worst season for the digestive system.

Make sure to gulp down loads of water through the day to stay hydrated along with incorporating various water-based foods into your diet. And of course, do not miss out on the deliciousness of aam panna, Bale ka sharbat, thandai and other childhood summer drinks – feeling a teeny bit nostalgic are we? Ah, how time flies. Summer is also a great time for all the fashionistas to experiment and try out new looks. Women can start with chopping off their hair to sport short and chic hairdos and adding in loads of colours to the layers to give it that extra edge, short hair cuts are in this summer. As far as clothing goes colourful summer dresses, shorts, crop tops, skirts and slippers are a definite go to. Even if you are not much of a fashion freak, step out of your comfort zone this summer and play the stylist. Mix and match and try new styles—you never know you might just fall in love with the new you. Until next time...

Meanwhile, do engage with us on our social media platforms at facebook.com/whatsbrandnew; twitter.com/whatsbrandnew; instagram.com/whatsbrandnew; www.whatsbrandnew.com Forever 21, India’s most preferred International fast fashion destination just made your summer a degree hotter (for all the right reasons, obviously!).

All Healthy All Fresh Nandu’s Chicken is devoid of any harmones, steroids or antibiotic residue 47


Founded by Narendra K. Pasuparthy, Nandu’s Chicken is a chain of state of the art retail outlets,providing fresh chicken. Narendra is a second generation entrepreneur of the popular Nanda Group,a company that is known for having revolutionized the poultry industry in India during the early 60’s and therein establishing the framework for the sector in the years to come.

Brand Beginnings Narendra Pasuparthy the CEO was previously working in the United States for over 10 years and on his return found that meat in India, particularly in the open markets was being processed in filthy and unhealthy environments with no consideration for hygiene or quality. He found that there was a large unorganized sector in play that was primarily responsible for the below average quality standards. He also realized that his own parent company, the Nanda Group was producing great quality chicken for many years, but this was unfortunately not reaching the average consumer’s table. The Nanda Group on its part needs no introduction as it has diversified interests in the chicken processing industry spanning feed mills, parent farms, hatcheries to the broiler farms. The only missing link to complete this supply chain in reaching a consumer’s table was then conceptualized as Nandu’s. The company took shape as a panacea for the discerning customer who was quality conscious and was particular about where the chicken was grown, how it was handled and sourced, etc.

The USP The company aims to establish itself as a retailer of healthy chicken that is devoid of any hormones, steroids or antibiotic residue. They have expanded into ‘Ready to Cook’&‘Ready to Eat’, value added chicken products like Marinated chicken, Burger patties, chicken Nuggets, Sausages, Salami, and several other varieties of Cold cuts. 48

The Technology All of their chicken processing is done using a conveyor system with minimal human intervention. The processing plant veterinarian conducts Anti-Mortem and post-Mortem examinations to ensure that only healthy birds are accepted for processing. An automated scalder maintains optimal temperature for the scalding process so as to ensure proper removal of feathers in a mechanised feather plucker. Automated tools for Evisceration along with an inside outside washer, avoids cross contamination and ensures the quality of the meat. They also use a Screw chiller filled with Reverse osmosis (RO) water for chilling the meat and modern Cold rooms maintained at 0 degrees, ensure the freshest meat is brought to the consumers. Their entire supply chain operates on a robust industry specific ERP that captures all the business data at every stage of the business.

Logistics and last mile transportation Unlike the common use of ice and ice boxes to transport chicken in the last mile. We use energy efficient and fuel saving refrigeration technologies for cold chain storage and logistics. This not only enhances their bottom lines but also reduces the carbon footprint. In partnership with TESSOL, Nandu’s uses their PLUGnCHILL technology which eliminates the use of diesel for reefer operations reducing the operating costs by more than 60% while ensuring temperature stability of the container. The system charges within 6 hours using any power source and thereafter maintains the required temperature range in the container for upto 24 hours. Unlike conventional refer systems, being completely decoupled from the vehicle engine our refer systems have no adverse impact on the maintenance costs of the vehicle and also eliminates urban vehicular pollution caused by refer vehicles.
