The Ahimsa Festival 2017


The second edition of The Ahimsa Festival opened at St. Andrew’s Auditorium in the city. The Ahimsa Festival is the first event across India, and perhaps the world, to be based on ahimsa or compassion. The festivities will run across 18 days and create awareness about the power of compassion and inspire people towards making lifestyle changes towards health and animal cruelty-free choices.

Convener of the event Dr. Rupa Shah who–is part of the six-member Ahimsa Parmo Dharma Group (APDG)–and has co-founded the annual Ahimsa Festival series stated, “The basic meaning of the word ‘ahimsa’ is–Do no injury, cause no harm. Ahimsa means non-violence, or to put it in a positive way–Compassion. Ahimsa is a universal concept that applies to all living beings, including all animals. All living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to hurt oneself. The primary aspect of ahimsa is towards oneself–in particular towards one’s health.”

Chief Guest of the Opening Ceremony, Amruta Devendra Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra CM, Devendra Fadnavis, commented, ”As Gandhiji said - Non Violence is a weapon of the strong; it is a sword that heals. A number of resources utilized for a non-vegetarian diet are much higher than a vegetarian one. It takes about 2500 gallons of water to produce half a kg of meat whereas it takes less than 25 gallons of water to produce the same quantity of wheat. This gives an idea that by turning vegan how drastically we can reduce water footprints.  Those who cannot immediately change their lifestyles should try reducing the consumption of meat; a small step will go a long way in saving our planet and of course, add to health benefits. Our beloved Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a vegetarian at the age of 67; he works so hard and his enthusiasm is viral.”

Dr. Will Tuttle, author of the international bestseller ‘The World Peace Diet’ and Chief Guest of the festival lit the candle along with Chief Guests Amruta Fadnavis and Dr. Nandita Shah. In his talk, he shared his vision of creating a peaceful global civilization with the world peace diet. He said, “This is my first day in India and I can already see the light and positivity all around me. India has been radiating this light for centuries and the same light touched me when I became a vegan 40 years back. My message is that veganism is a philosophy and practice of radical inclusion and that going vegan is the most positive, uplifting, and transformative action any human being can make in our culture today. If you could sum my message up in a simple phrase, it would be Respect for all life. I teach that veganism is coming home into one’s true heart, and seeing beings as beings, and respecting them as equally sacred manifestations of divine life.” He mesmerized the audiences with his talk interspersed with playing the piano, while his wife accompanied him by playing the flute.

Founder of SHARAN, Dr Nandita Shah, who is the recipient of the prestigious Nari Shakti Award 2016 the highest award for women in India, for her pioneering work in the field of health and nutrition stated, “I have been a homeopath for many years - the concept of veganism brings health, environment, and animals together. A non-vegetarian person is responsible for the life of 70 land animals a year on an average; then there are sea animals as well. I believe that everyone can become vegan if they have the opportunity to make an initial connection. Over the years I have seen people go from cynics to passionate vegan advocates once they had made the switch to a plant-based diet. I think it’s because just one initial shift can help people go beyond denial and justifications to then go onto making the complete connection. Veganism aligns us with our true values, which are compassion and oneness.”

The event also witnessed Kuntal Joisher who is the first vegan to conquer Mount Everest in 2016 and Rohit Ingle who is covering 18,000+km across the country for one year, to spread awareness about animal cruelty. Rohit was flagged off after the event. Sharmila Oswal, International Water Diplomat also extended her support to the event. Moreover, PETA and FIAPO have been strong supporters of The Ahimsa Festival since inception last year.

The following 2 weeks will comprise more than 100 satellite events–ranging from film workshops, talks, webinars and seminars to treks, a run and cyclothon, and potlucks–to spark curiosity and awareness about Ahimsa and compassionate lifestyle across the city. The festival will conclude with an Ahimsa Carnival.  

Ahimsa Parmo Dharma Group  : The Ahimsa Festival is an annual festival founded by like-minded individuals with an aim of spreading the fragrance of peace and love through simple lifestyle choices. The Ahimsa Parmo Dharma Group (APDG) was founded in 2015 to create awareness about the principles of ahimsa in everyday life. The group comprises six members who are leading professionals in their field of work and have come together with the single vision of practicing and preaching non-violence in thought, deed, and action. They are living examples of “ahimsaks” who are successfully practicing the Ahimsa way of living for many years.

                                Adoption of ‘Phygital’ is the need of the hour

At Netcore’s Martech Knowledge Exchange digital experts state ad spends in India to grow by 30 per cent in 2017; brands would look at a adopting a full-stack marketing automation solution

 Netcore Solutions, India’s largest marketing automation solutions provider, today successfully organised the second edition of Martech Knowledge Exchange at Hyatt Regency, Mumbai. The event, which witnessed participation from leading financial services companies, saw marketing and analytics experts deliberating upon the importance of marketing automation solutions in increasing RoI, and customer lifetime value as well as reducing customer acquisition costs.

The line of experts at the event included leading names of the industry such asPranav Arora, Principal – Accenture; Niranjan Kanade, Chief Business Officer- Accretion Marketing, Netcore Solutions; Dharmesh Sinha, Chief Manager Marketing, Axis Securities; Kunal Sakariya, Head Customer Analytics & Marketing Analytics, Netcore Solutions; Molly Kapoor, Head of Marketing, Birla Sun Life and VeerChand Bothra, CIO, Netcore Solutions.

In his presentation, Niranjan Kanade highlighted that India is currently experiencing a trend of ‘Consumer Parallelism’ where consumers adopt multiple avatars on different platforms during different times of the day. He elucidated upon why attaining an improved customer lifetime value requires an intuitive platform that helps you understand and engage the ever-changing customer.

Kanade added marketing automation is an essential and integral part of accretion marketing strategy of a company. “The digital advertising spends are expected to bounce back and grow at 30 per cent this year after a period of diminished growth curve. This growth in advertising and marketing spends will further fuel the adoption rate of marketing automation in the country as brands would look at a adopting a full-stack marketing automation solution rather than the current module-based approach,” he said. He also mentioned that lack of skills, system complexity, data quality and readiness are the biggest challenges the CMOs have highlighted that has been hindering the implementation of marketing automation solutions.

Giving a crash course the importance of blending marketing and customer analytics, Kunal Sakaria highlighted that transactional, behavioural and demographic data summarisation is important for creating a unified view of the customer.

Echoing Sakaria’s statements, VeerChand Bothra commented, “How do you engage the ever-changing customer? Financial services in India have always had to be sold to the customer; it was never a ‘pull-service’. Therefore, the engagement that a customer has with the brand is not very frequent. Consequently, cross selling a service or product becomes very difficult. Unless the customer is engaged on the right channel, at the right time and with the right type of content, the true customer value always remains a distant dream. A full-stack solution offering a unified view of the customer is as much important as is deriving the right insights from the data using analytics.”

Adding to Bothra’s views, Pranav Arora of Accenture spoke about the growth of the BFSI sector in the recent times as well as the importance of adopting a ‘Phygital’ approach to customer engagement by blending physical and digital to create an ecosystem between the brand and consumer.

Concluding the sessions in her ‘firechat’, Molly Kapoor spoke about the changing customer mindset and the need for companies to adopt marketing technology to be enable to meet up to the expectation and demands of the consumers. She also shared how Birla Sun Life’s has been taking digital strides in this regards by highlighting its SIP Now (Sabse Important Plan) website, which helps understanding the customer journey cycle as well as advising the regular investors as per their financial planning requirements.
