he Internet is a real invention of democratic values! The journey of the Internet, which started from four or five metropolises in India, from the high-rise settlements where even the most expensive services could be afforded at the outset, continues today across rugged roads, mountain ranges to various corners of the country. Today, nearly 70 million people in the country use the Internet. The number of Internet users has more than doubled in the last five years.

In the last five years, the face of the rapidly evolving Internet has changed dramatically, with rapidly changing technologies, consequently cheaper smartphones in the market, and in addition data rates falling due to competition from Internet service providers. Today, India is a huge market for the cheapest smartphones in the world. Internet service rates in India are very low compared to other countries.

1 GB of data costs around Rs 18.5 in India, but the rest of the world spends an average of Rs 600 for the same amount of data. Given this huge price difference, the current era is a boon for Internet users in India. As a result of this cheapness, as many internet users as there were in the country in the first twenty years have been connected to the Internet in the last five years.

Today, many businesses are emerging that are completely internet dependant, but at the same time, government schemes, banking, even schooling ... everywhere, the use of the Internet as an alternative to facilitation is increasing. Laptops at home, students sitting in front of mobiles and teachers teaching them from a distance, a picture that seemed impossible even a few months ago has become a part of the daily life of most people around the country today.

In these few years, the sudden expansion of the digital universe and the upheaval that followed has come to a turning point. We have stopped here! Now it is the time to move beyond innovation and unspoken enthusiasm to focus on building this digital world with more vigor.

In a sense, the Internet is the epitome of what it is all about. Everyone should take as much as they can see from their own window. Take a leisurely stroll, fill your eyes; Just remember that what we are seeing while doing this is a micro part of a larger world.

Innovation is the key to a happier future and the future is now!

he food industry is one of the most important industries in the World economy.

Almost 10% of total employment is based on the food sector. The food sector has total sales of $1.4 trillion. In such a vast economy sector many brands stand strong with their unique products, taste, packaging ideas and marketing

strategies.

Any Idea that comes in your mind regarding food production is a freely open intellectual property unless and until it gets protected.

Anyone can steal your idea and start trading in the same product but you cannot file any complaint against or report anywhere as you don’t have any documentation regarding the protection of IP. In this way, you may lose your product for which you struggled up many nights.

The intellectual property protection (IP Protection) covers many things from the very first step of manufacturing i.e. production of ingredients, creation of recipes to the last steps like labelling, marketing, and branding of the final product. It helps the manufacturer to protect his idea.

IP protection in the food industry includes Trademarks, Design Protection, Patent Rights and trade secrets. Many big food brands as well as small food shops & small food manufacturers also own trademarks to protect their food products from being copied.

Trademarks are not limited to only pre-packaged foods. Cookies, cakes or any other food item can have its trademark. The chef, the restaurant

also can be covered under trademark law. Trademarks play an essential role in the branding strategy of a company. The consumer can identify the food product by its logo, word, design or slogan. The unique and creatively distinct design of a trademark helps to protect it easily. Coca Cola, Kit Kat, KFC are some of the big brands having a distinct trademark.

Patenting a new food product having new ingredients, preparation process, and unique design helps a lot. A packaging idea to deliver food freshly to the consumer can also be patented. The ‘tetra pack’ is one of the best examples for this.

Patents are useful in protecting your food product as it makes difficult to imitate the production process. The owner of the original idea can sue the imitator with the help of patent law.

Design protection can be another way to protect your IP. The design can be copied easily. So copyrighting the design is the best way to protect your product. Coca Cola has designed their bottle with a unique copyrighted design that no one can copy. The packaging is one of the important factors in the food industry. With a distinct concept of packaging, a company makes

branding strategies that help them to grow in the market and to make their products look different. If such packaging idea got stolen then anyone can imitate your product which can lead to a big loss. By copyrighting such packaging and product design one can protect IP. You might have tried the recipe of your favourite food by a wellknown brand, after many attempts of cooking with the guidance of some food hack channel on YouTube or a cookery book you still can’t find the same taste or structure of the food as same as the branded food product. Here protection of IP which means Intellectual Property works at its best. Every company keeps its trade secrets like ingredients or the process of preparation, etc.

Whenever working with third party, companies signs a contract while sharing their secret.

The idea is protected once it is in your mind. Once you disclose it in public it doesn’t remain yours unless and until you protect it by law. Protecting your IP is the most important thing in an era of a large competitive market.

Kolkata is one of the most important metropolitan cities of India and the capital of the state of West Bengal and was formerly the capital of British India. Kolkata is also nicknamed Diamond Harbour.

It is one of the largest cities in India and one of the major ports.

Kolkata’s old name was Calcutta.

Calcutta officially became Kolkata from January 1, 2001.

From 1757 onwards, the city became completely dominated by the British and from 1850 onwards the city began to develop rapidly, especially the growth of the clothing industry increased dramatically here, however, the effect of this development except the city was nearby. Was not reflected anywhere in the areas of Despite the devastation in Kolkata

due to the storm on 5 October 1864, Kolkata continued to grow mostly unplanned over the next one hundred and fifty years and today it has a population of about 14 million.

Kolkata is full of intellectual heritage and has played a central role in the Indian independence movement and has established its name in history. Along with the Indian National Congress, many major political and cultural institutions like 'Hindu Mela' and revolutionary organization 'Yugantar', 'Anushilan' were established in this city, as well as many great personalities of India like early nationalist Arvind Ghosh., Indira Devi Chaudharani, was Vipinchandra Pal. 35

Sutanati, Govindpur, and Kalikata were the three villages, which was decided by Jab Chornak, an agent of the East India Company, to establish the British trade agreement.

Aurangzeb's grandson Raj Kumar Azim-Us-Shan inspired the family of Savarna Ray Chaudhary to transfer the rights of the zamindari of these three villages of the East India Company. The British administration was shattered by Siraj-ud-daula, but recovered by Robert Clive in the year 1756 after the Battle of Plassey in 1757. This East India Company systematically made the city of Calcutta the basis of

36

its power and built fortiďŹ cations and also progressed politically. Kolkata was the capital of the country during British rule and London was the second largest city of the British Empire after Kolkata.

Between 1820 and 1930, the seeds of nationalism had begun to be sown and the nationalist movement under Indian leadership had reached its zenith when people stood against British rule.

Kolkata was India's most populous city before 1980 but was replaced by Mumbai after that. At the time of India's independence in 1947 and after the IndoPakistani war of 1971, there was an inux of refugees from 'East Bengal' (now Bangladesh) which severely shaken the economy of this city.

When we say that someone is very creative, it often comes out that the person has a very good understanding and interest in art. But being creative is not just that. The definition of creativity or creativity is much larger than this. Actually being creative depends on our thinking and there can be many people around us with such out of the box thinking.

No one can force anybody to be creative. If someone does so, that can ruin the entire creative process. It is easy and affordable for everyone to be creative. What you need to be creative is just an innovative mind that thinks out of the box.

Albert Einstein ones said, “creativity is just an intelligence having fun!” And no one can deny that. Everyone is best in their own field, what makes people unique is their thought process.

Here we are bringing you some stages of the creative process. You can easily relate to them.

The preparation stage This is the first step where people try to do something new and prepare their minds accordingly. For this, an attempt is made to gather as much information as possible and every possible thought is thought out. In this effort, knowledge is collected from different people and places from getting books.

Our goal in this step is to learn as much as possible so that this information can be helpful in bringing new things to the building.

The incubation stage After gathering information to try something new, we go to the Incubation stage. During this time, we stop all the activities that we started. Here at times, we feel frustrated because success is still not seen.

During this period, many people try to divert their attention such as yoga, meditation, sports, walking or resting so that the mind can be relaxed but still the unconscious thought process keeps going in us, due to which our mind after some time Tries to think of something new.

But still, we are far away from creativity.

The illumination stage There is such a twist in our lives when we suddenly find a solution to a problem. This is the Illumination stage where the creative idea suddenly comes in our mind and we get the solution. It is also called "eureka experiences".

These thoughts come from the toilet to sleep. Like Percy Spencer got the idea of the microwave while eating chocolate.

The verification stage This is the time of action where we try to test our creative thoughts and work accordingly. If the idea is perfect, then everyone appreciates such a result which works as inspiration for other people.

Out of the box, thinking may take a lot of time but definitely, you will end up with some awesome results.

W

e all have come to this world with unique identities, personalities, problems, and realities. We are different in cultures, perceptions, and mentalities, but the thing that binds and hold us together are the basic human emotions and necessities. Everyone has different reasons to live for and different definition and perception of success in their life. Some are happy with their current lifestyle, some wish for more, and some want more.

There are a lot of emotions and driving forces behind an individual, making her/him work harder, dedicated and striving for their goals and success. The most important thing in an individual’s life is a reason or a goal that makes one get up in the morning, that doesn’t let one sleep, that keeps the person motivated and up and running. That aim or goal or a set of goals gives one’s life meaning and a reason to live and breathe for, this is called Ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese word that translates for being a reason to get up in the morning, to live for.

Before finding out your Ikigai, one needs to be in touch with oneself and aware of themselves to begin this search. As it rightly said that no one understands you more than

you, thus one should know their strengths and weakness. Next comes finding one’s passion, there is always something that comes or feels natural to us. One needs to figure that out and search for the opportunities it can create for them.

We have always heard that one should do something that they love, and it is completely true as that will not only give one utmost job satisfaction but will also be beneficial to those who will use your products/services. If one feels they are good at something, they should give that field a try as trying is the only way to find out which field or subject is for you or not.

One should not overlook the fact that whatever one does, in the end, it’s the people who are going to use or consume it. Thus, one’s Ikigai is comprised of the impact they want to have on the world.

Finding one’s Ikigai is not related to satisfaction in professional life but also gives one the feeling of completeness, thus improving one’s physical and mental health both.

Your Ikigai is not necessarily supposed to be something common or something that is accepted worldwide, one can take anything that they are inclined to, interested in and turn it into a global scale.

This will not only make a person

work harder towards their goal but in a way, one is striving for something that could change the way the world works or consumes various products and services. One should not only find their interest and inclination but should never forget to use it for the betterment of the humankind.

Ikigai is something that one finds out in their life, they either search for it or stumbles upon it but that should not change the way one looks at life or things. This is nothing less than a journey as there is no set age for one to find their passion or Ikigai, so always be open to experiences and things in life as they come. Moreover, even if one does not find something that attracts or pulls them, which is highly unlikely, but one can create a passion or interest by reading and understanding different things or subjects. In the end, finding your Ikigai is not the sole reason or purpose to live, of course, it drives you to work harder and strive for perfection, and success in their life.

One should always know that living and enjoying your life is also a priority and balancing is the key to happiness and your Ikigai.

Mr. Naveen Puttagunta Elevating brands with unique ideas Today, digitization is everywhere. And, undoubtedly, UI UX Design plays an important role in aiding this digital transformation. It creates a bridge between the user and the platform. However, there are a few key players who are inspiring the industry trends through their design thinking and user-first approach. Mr. Naveen Puttagunta is one such person who is making the UX UI of all their clients count alongside his team of out of the box thinkers at Divami.

He is empowering businesses with the most creative UX UI designing and making them future-ready.

He says, “The success of our company can be attributed to our focus on delivering perfection and ensuring full customer satisfaction. When we take up a project, we make it “our problem” so that our clients can focus on their business. There have been instances where we have gone beyond the scope of the project to do the right thing for the customer. That means playing the devil’s advocate wherever necessary, to ensure no change is unaccounted. Each decision we make is backed by solid reasons and so, more often, our clients agree with them.

But, nothing would have been possible without the support of our wonderful team who push themselves continuously to become the design thought leaders through each project and for each client. Their commitment, efforts, and hard work make everything possible.”
