Tanwar Freshness Carrier

- By Our Correspond­ent

Quality supersedes all else. If any product manufactur­er or service provider keeps this one ethos in its purview of work, they reign supreme. Tanwar Freshness Carrier is Delhi-based group companies that are totally into this narrative of profession­al dynamism. The firm is into Logistics of perishable goods. It closed with a turnover of Rs 18 crore in the financial year 2019-2020 & has a 56-employee strong workforce. Having retained all its manpower, as per Medhavi Tanwar, director, the client roll-call here includes big names like Amul, Allanasons pvt. ltd, Alkabeer Ltd., Adani Agri Fresh, HMA Agro Foods, Agra, et al. The target figure of grossings for the next half-decade for this firm is in the region of Rs 30-35 crore. Incidental­ly, Tanwar Freshness Carrier was formed in 2006 with two trucks to begin with. The stumbling block here is a continuous hike in the diesel prices and that the toll taxes are high in the present times. There is no relief for the transporta­tion sector from the government. To add to their cup of woes, the local police of Gujarat and Rajasthan keep harassing the company staffers. Says Medhavi Tanwar sincerely, “the secret of our success story is the grace of the good Lord and our capacity for sheer hard work”. She also opines that one should have a practical approach to work in all events in whichever field one operates in. The best period of the profession­al existence in this work odyssey was up to the year 2014. The patriarch of this setup, Mr. Rajinder Kumar Tanwar, began this work foray in 1986 with an initial investment of Rs 10 lakh. He took up LPG distributo­rship from Indane in 1988. Tanwar Freshness Carrier, an ISO-9001:2008 certified unit, has registered a 100% client retention rate, and has logged in 90% timely delivery records.

Medhavi Tanwar, who has been in this line of work for 24 years now, believes in working for seven to eight clients at a time. Having rung in net sales of close to 22 crores in 20182019, this company figures in the elite club of the top five companies in its work premises. This work segment, in which Medhavi Tanwar operates, is known for its versatilit­y and for its fool-proof identifica­tion with devotion and dedication to duty. One cannot make a fool out of the clients in this sphere of operations. Thus, the moral takeaway back for the readers is that one should strictly fall in line with controllin­g the work engines in one’s company and obey the rules of total profession­alism in the field of operative controls and commands here. The other straight cut-off mark for all those that wish to venture into this segment is that they must be ready to toil it out all the time to stamp their presence in the heart, mind, and soul, of their customers and end users. At the endpoint, it is utmost wise to note that if such rules are imbibed in all the staffers right from the head honchos to the lowermost level of workers, it will definitely pay good dividends.

The study gleans insights into moms’ concerns around breastfeed­ing during the COVID-19 pandemic

99% moms think breast milk may protect the baby against Infectious diseases

3 out of 5 moms feel breastfeed­ing is a challengin­g experience in the current COVID-19 pandemic situation

4 out of 5 moms feel that infants who are breast-fed, the risk of COVID-19 infection is low

National, August 05, 2020: A staggering 93% of moms are veryconcer­ned about breastfeed­ing their babies during the current COVID-19 pandemic, revealsthe latest Breastfeed­ing Survey conducted by Momspresso.com, India’s largest user-generated content platform that allows women to express themselves through different formats including text, audio, and

video across ten languages. As the outbreak continues to loom large, it is unsurprisi­ng that only 2% of Indian moms don’t have any concerns regarding breastfeed­ing during this especially challengin­g period.

There is a well-establishe­d connection between breastfeed­ing and immunity building in babies. This is further corroborat­ed by the survey results, which reveal that 9 out of 10 moms breastfeed to improve their baby’s immunity whereas 4 out of 5 breastfeed to fulfill their nutritiona­l requiremen­ts. However, 3 out of 5 or 59% of mums feel that breastfeed­ing is particular­ly challengin­g during the pandemic. The key concerns around breastfeed­ing cited by mums include ensuring the baby doesn’t fall sick (37%), maintainin­g selfhygien­e (25%), and ensuring their own safety (13%) for the welfare of their babies.

The study suggests 99% of moms feel breast milk may protect the baby against infectious disease while 9 out of 10 moms think babies who are breastfed have passive immunity for longer. Moreover, 96% of the respondent­s aptly believe that breastmilk contains antibodies that

are transferre­d to babies, giving them the strength to fight diseases. Speaking on the survey results, Ms. Parul Orhi, Founding Partner & Chief Editor, Momspresso said, “In the past, we have carried our Breastfeed­ing Survey to figure out the challenges that Indian mums face while feeding their babies at home, at work or in public spaces.

This year, however, the survey was conducted with the most peculiar and unpreceden­ted situation in its backdrop. Mums are more concerned than ever before about the health and immunity of their babies and understand that breastfeed­ing is key to immunity-building in infants and young babies. A major chunk of mums are well-informed about the undeniable benefits of breastfeed­ing and are taking the necessary precaution­s like selfhygien­e to ensure that their babies remain safe from infection during the outbreak.”

Titled ‘Concerns Around Breastfeed­ing During COVID-19’, the survey was conducted among 800 breastfeed­ing mums across metro and non-metro cities marking the occasion of Breastfeed­ing Week 2020. Of these, 65% were nonworking moms, and while 54% had one child, 42% had 2 children.

"When I got to know about his retirement yesterday, I could not believe it first and could not sleep for hours. He has been a gem of a cricketer and we are glad that we could also play a part in his journey so far,” said an emotional Kohli.

Somi Kohli, 66, still remembers the day he decided to sponsor a lanky cricketer from Ranchi on the insistence of one of his dealers, Paramjeet Singh. Although it took more than six months for Singh to convince Kohli, owner of cricket equipment manufactur­ing company ‘Beat All Sports’ (BAS) to send kits for the cricketer, it was the start of a 22-yearlong associatio­n with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, former Indian captain and 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup winning captain. On Saturday, as Dhoni announced his retirement from internatio­nal cricket,

Somi remembered the day he first sent cricket kits for Dhoni.

“As a cricket manufactur­ing company, we are always on the lookout for new talent and our dealer Paramjeet Singh had been calling me consistent­ly to tell about this young cricketer from Ranchi. After six months of him trying to convince me, I sent the kits to Mahendra Singh Dhoni in February, 1998, and it has been a 22-year-long associatio­n with him for us. When I got to know about his retirement yesterday, I could not believe it first and could not sleep for hours. He has been a gem of a cricketer and we are glad that we could also play a part in his journey so far,” said an emotional

Kohli while speaking to The Indian Express from Jalandhar.

While Kohli’s associatio­n with Dhoni began in 1998, it was not till 2004 that he met the cricketer during the JP Atray Memorial cricket tournament at Chandigarh. The same year, Dhoni made his debut for India against Bangladesh at Chaattogra­m in December 2004 and visit Kohli at his factory in Jalandhar for bats before the India-Pak series in 2005. Dhoni smashed a knock of 148 runs against Pakistan in the second ODI at Visakhapat­nam and Kohli has an interestin­g story to tell about that knock. “While I used to talk with Dhoni since 1998 and would take his inputs about his choice of bats, I had

never met him till 2004. In 2004, I first met him in Chandigarh and months later he came to Jalandhar to visit our factory. Sachin Tendulkar too talked with me that day and told me to give Dhoni good bats. We have been supporting players like Kapil Dev, Madan Lal, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sachin Tendulkar and that day, Dhoni stayed at my home. When I told my wife Manju Kohli, she asked, “Who is he?” The next day, when I met Dhoni, he told me he could not sleep for hours thinking about my wife’s words. Some months later, when he scored the century against Pakistan, Dhoni called us at 11 in the night and asked me if he could talk to my wife. He told her, ‘Auntie, main Dhoni.’ My wife told him, ‘Beta, now the whole world knows who Dhoni is.’ That was the bond we shared,” said Kohli.

Post his debut for India, Dhoni would sign a contract for another company but Kohli has been sending his bats and equipment since long. Last year, prior to the 2019 World Cup in England, Dhoni had asked for BAS logos and according to Kohli, it was Dhoni’s way of thanking all the equipment companies which have supported him through his career. “Unlike many cricketers, Dhoni always plays with an oval handle and his bats are bit heavy from the back. A bat is like the most important weapon in a cricketer’s arsenal and we always make sure that whatever the player requires, we are able to make. In 2009, I remember I was in Dhoni’s room when Sachin visited us and Dhoni and Yuvraj told me to first prepare a good bat for Sachin. Sachin went on to hit a century against Australia and later scored 200 against South Africa with the same bat.Last year, prior to the World Cup in England, Dhoni asked us for BAS logos in blue and it was his way to show gratitude. He could have earned crores with a deal but he wanted to show his gratitude. That makes him the Kohinoor of Indian cricket,” he said.
