All 36 satellites are operational, bringing OneWeb’s total Gen 1 LEO constellation to 462 satellites Launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota, India marks the first dedicated commercial launch for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) using LVM3 rocket With this successful launch, the LVM3 has become a catalyst for the Indian Space Programme, opening new vistas for heavy payloads to the LEO Activates new phase of launch programme for OneWeb, with global coverage planned for 2023 and connectivity solutions north of 50-degrees latitude already live Sriharikota/Chennai, India, 23 October 2022 – OneWeb today confirmed the successful deployment of 36 satellites launched by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC- SHAR) in Sriharikota, India. This launch by ISRO and NSIL is one of the biggest commercial orders by India’s premier space organization, and the first using the LVM3 rocket. The lift-off took place on Sunday, 23rd October 2022 at 00.07hrs local time. OneWeb’s satellites separated successfully from the rocket and were dispensed in 9 phases over a period of 1 hour and 15 minutes, with signal acquisition on all 36 satellites confirmed. This is OneWeb’s 14th launch, bringing the constellation to 462 satellites. This launch represents more than 70% of its planned 648 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite fleet that will deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity worldwide. With only four more launches to go, OneWeb remains on track to activate global coverage in 2023, while its connectivity solutions are already live in regions north of 50-degrees latitude. This partnership with NSIL and ISRO demonstrates OneWeb’s commitment to provide connectivity across the length and breadth of India by 2023. From Ladakh to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, OneWeb will bring secured solutions not only to enterprises but also to towns, villages, municipalities and schools, including the hardest-to-reach areas across the country. OneWeb’s commitment to enhance connectivity in India is backed by Bharti Global, its largest investor. The LVM3 launch vehicle realized with complete indigenized technology had four consecutive successful missions, which includes the critical Chandrayaan-2 mission. The vehicle underwent several critical tests as a part of human rating for the Gaganyaan programme. The cryo stage was uniquely designed to orient and re-orient in orthogonal direction to meet the customer requirements of injecting satellites precisely and with a gap to avoid collision. The vehicle was realized in a short span of time on a demand-driven basis to meet the user’s timeline. Shri. Somanath S, Secretary, Department of Space and Chairman, ISRO said: “Today’s event is very historic to the country and the Indian Space Programme. This is the first ever commercial launch of LVM3 with a heaviest payload to LEO. The LVM3 was conceived primarily for launching geo-stationary satellites with a payload capacity of 4T, which can be used for launching 6T payloads for LEO. “The mission is very critical to meet the customer’s expectations to launch 36 satellites in 9 phases with precision. The mission was designed in such a way that C25 stage was to handle this operation using in-house built inertial navigation systems. The injection of the satellites were so precise to the expectation of the customer. NSIL, the commercial arm of ISRO, entered into this contract and executed the same in a record time. “This will pave way for more launches in the future. The interaction with OneWeb was so seamless, right from the receipt of the satellites till injection. ISRO and OneWeb teams worked like a family. I compliment all the ISRO centres and Indian industries for the commendable job and congratulate NSIL and OneWeb for the successful launch of LVM3 M2 / OneWeb India-1 mission.” Sunil Bharti Mittal, Executive Chairman of OneWeb, said: “Today’s launch is a significant milestone for OneWeb. This new phase of our launch programme from India brings us a step closer to not only enhancing our global coverage but also delivering connectivity in India and South Asia, particularly to the communities who need it most. “I am proud to be here in Sriharikota, with our partners, ISRO and NSIL. Today my dream of having an Indian element in the OneWeb constellation has been realized. This launch with ISRO and NSIL opens up the space sector in India with the possibility of billions of dollars flowing into the country. “I would like to laud our Hon’ble Prime Minister for his visionary leadership in the opening up of the space sector for private participation. I also extend my gratitude to ISRO, NSIL and the Indian authorities for matching the precise schedule for this launch, which has been done in a record time.” Radhakrishnan D, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, NewSpace India Limited, added: “The successful launch of 36 OneWeb satellites via the GSLV-MkIII from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a historic moment for NSIL and ISRO. We worked closely with the OneWeb team to support this milestone launch, which has been accomplished in a record time of a few months, while also illustrating the opportunities for satellite connectivity in India. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with OneWeb and utilizing the potential that LEO connectivity has to deliver broadband services across India.” Neil Masterson, Chief Executive of OneWeb, commented: “I am delighted that we have been able to resume OneWeb’s launch programme. This launch was made possible thanks to the hard work by our team and our partners at ISRO and NSIL, as well as shareholder Bharti Global. The spirit of collaboration exemplified by this international effort is at the core of our strategy to scale up our global coverage network. At OneWeb, we remain laser-focused on removing barriers to connectivity, ensuring that we deliver for communities and customers globally.” Over the coming months, OneWeb will continue its focus on the launch programme and will also work with key distribution partners and customers to roll out connectivity solutions where its services are live. OneWeb will advance innovative strategic partnerships with leading companies in the communications sector, and sign agreements in the coming months to support the rollout of its coverage solutions.

With an aim to continue building restaurants of the future, the brand plans to launch 10 more such restaurants by the end of the year. Telling us more about the brand’s foray into building futuristic restaurants, Moksh Chopra, GM, KFC India, said, “Our consumers are increasingly turning to the digital medium – from food to gaming, from their relationships to their careers, or simply to spend free time. According to reports, digital users in India have more than doubled over the last 5 years and millennials are now spending around eight hours per day online. Strengthening our commitment to being easily accessible to our consumers, we have been on a deliberate journey from CX to DX – enhancing customer experience through digital means. Whether it’s digitally through our improved KFC App, which is faster & more intuitive, or with our newly launched Smart Restaurants. Right from easy-to-use ordering kiosks to tech-savvy interiors, these restaurants are designed to elevate the consumer experience whilst providing extended convenience. So while our products have always been ‘finger lickin‘ good‘, the means to get to them as just as ‘finger clickin‘ good‘! KFC Smart Restaurants will replace the traditional ordering counter with easy-to-use ordering kiosks with multiple digital payment options, and an accompanying QR code, for quick and easy mobile-based payments. Customers will also be able to order directly from their table, by scanning the QR code, powered by the KFC Smart App, on their phones, and can pick up their order once ready. To make the customer journey even smoother, there will be a host to guide and help customers through the ordering process. These Smart Restaurants also bring in operational efficiency for the restaurant teams with tech-enabled changes at the backend. Kitchen display systems at assembly & packing stations help team members assemble & pack orders more accurately & communicate seamlessly with riders & customers. Customer Display Screens (CDS) assist in tracking order status in the pick-up area. Separate pick-up counters for Dine-In and Takeaway further help in regulating orders. Keeping in mind the comfort of delivery riders, these restaurants have a dedicated waiting area for riders equipped with water coolers, seating and space to place delivery bags, while they wait to pick up orders. The newly launched Smart Restaurants are located in Vikrampuri & A. S. Rao Nagar in Hyderabad, Perumbadur in Chennai, Ambience Mall in Gurgaon & Brigade Road in Bangalore. In addition to the enhanced digital experience, the Perambur restaurant in Chennai offers unique design elements as sections within this restaurant have been modelled like a railway coach, taking inspiration from the region’s rich heritage of having the country’s oldest railway coach manufacturing facility. The Ambience Mall restaurant in Gurgaon hosts an L-shaped digital wall, giving a modern look & feel to the décor. The Brigade Road restaurant in Bangalore is all the more special, as the first-ever KFC restaurant in India was on Brigade Road over two decades ago. Along the distinctly red, white and black décor, these restaurants pay an ode to the iconic Original Celebrity Chef, Colonel Sanders, with nostalgic black and white pictures earmarking milestones from his journey to making the World’s Tastiest Chicken. “This communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Abdominal pain has a wide range of diagnoses, from minor self-limiting conditions to life-threatening emergencies. Usually, abdominal pain is the result of gastrointestinal problems, but in some cases, the cause can be lead poisoning, which can be difficult to diagnose and can lead to acute and chronic lead poisoning in humans. Lead poisoning is an uncommon but fatal disease and can cause abdominal pain, headaches, dizziness, nightmare, fatigue, and other symptoms. The abdominal pain that it causes can be misdiagnosed as an acute abdomen. Rapid diagnosis of lead poisoning is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms and low morbidity. Usually, out of 100 patients who come to the emergency room with abdominal pain, around 99 of them either have appendicitis, gall bladder stone, or pancreatitis, which results in the usual diagnosis. Even if an endoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound, and blood tests are performed, the results may be normal. It is important that one should understand that lead is a heavy metal that can affect various organ systems in humans, including the peripheral and central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, joints, muscles, kidneys, and the hemopoetic system. Lead positing is a condition which is more common among children as compared to adults. In terms of adults, people who are working in the paint industry, people who deal with water pipes, or those involved in construction businesses are more prone to getting high lead levels in their blood. It is important that we understand that a high lead level in the blood can also be a reason for severe abdominal pain. Explaining this condition Dr. Manish Kak, Consultant Gastroenterology, Manipal Hospitals, Ghaziabad said, “In a recent incident, a 40-year-old man with a similar condition came to our hospital with a complaint of unbearable abdominal pain. We did all the routine diagnosis for common gastrointestinal issues, but there was no evidence of what was causing the pain in his stomach. When all his reports were normal, we decided to get a test done for lead, and we found that the lead level in his blood was 76, which is surprisingly high and is rare in adults. “ Additionally, the lead, which was circulating in his blood, was not only causing severe abdominal pain but also causing low hemoglobin, anemia, and changes in his high blood picture. To treat him, we used chelation medicine, which is generally used for removing mercury and lead poisoning from the lungs. The patient responded very well to the treatment, and after five days of treatment, he was completely fine, and his lead level also came down. The sign of lead poisoning that causes abdominal pain has historically led to needless diagnostic and even therapeutic procedures. It is crucial to assess patients who report to the emergency room (ER) or gastrointestinal diseases clinic with abdominal pain to see if they have been suffering from lead poisoning. About Manipal Hospitals As a pioneer in healthcare, Manipal Hospitals is India’s second-largest multi-specialty healthcare provider treating over 4 million patients annually. With its recent acquisition of a 100% stake in Columbia Asia Hospitals in India, the integrated organization today has an enhanced pan-India footprint with 28 hospitals across 14 cities with 7,000+ beds with a talented pool of 4,000+ doctors and 10,000+ employees.

As India’s biggest festival Diwali, the festival of lights is just around the corner, and the students of Orchids The International School (OIS) are just trying to make it more special. Given the kind of environmental hazards, the city faces, taking control measures is imperative. Trees are instrumental in purifying air by absorbing dangerous gasses and giving oxygen. Therefore, considering the city as their home, Orchidians have decided to save the environment and promote a clean and green Diwali this year by planting thousands of tree saplings in neighborhood areas around the school branches across the country. Renowned environmentalist Suresh Heblikar flagged the ‘Shine Your City’ campaign at Nandini ground, BTM layout to encourage the kids. The students brought a variety of saplings, including Indian Beech tree, Hibiscus, Ashoka, Neem, Bhelpatra, etc. The students participated in the drive enthusiastically and helped each other in planting the saplings. All the saplings were planted in an open area outside the school premise, which was unclean and required reformation. The students, along with the teachers, first cleaned up the complete area and then planted the sampling. They also pledged to look after the planted saplings, plant more and more trees, and encourage others to do the same. Students from grade 9 to grade 12 participated from Orchids The International School (BTM layout branch) in the cleanliness and tree plantation drive at the Nandini ground, BTM Layout. Suresh Heblikar addressed the students on the importance of biodiversity and the need to save the environment. He said, “Humans have caused massive destruction by prioritizing urbanization. Therefore, saving the environment is crucial for us and it should be the primary focus for young minds. He urged the students to be more mindful of the environment and step forward towards leading a green life ”Sarvamangala Koti Singhal, Head- CSR, Orchids The International School, said, ” #ShineYourCity is our modest effort to celebrate Diwali, with an aim to reduce carbon footprint and to reinforce the sense of responsibility amongst our students to keep the neighborhood clean and green. It was great to see the students do their bit”. Jasmine KJ, Principal of BTM Layout said ” Environment education is necessary and it helps students to build knowledge and skills to address complex environmental issues and they understand the importance of working towards creating a greener world. All our students were glad to participate in the #Shineyourcity campaign.” The teachers and coordinators educated students on the importance of keeping our environment clean and encouraged students to refrain from bursting crackers and plant more trees.
