Random Beats Selected as Official Entry to the Goa Short Film Festival

Random Beats Selected as Official Entry to the Goa Short Film Festival

GURUGRAM – Manoj Madhusudanan’ s debut short film ‘Random Beats’ has been honoured as an official entry for the upcoming 11th Goa Short Film Festival 2024. With this, Random Beats has made it to 13 prestigious national and international film festivals, and have won accolades at six of them. The film has been received well at International Film Festival of Shimla, Atlanta Indian Film Festival, India International Film Festival of Boston, 7th South Asian Film Festival, to name a few.

Written, produced and directed by Manoj, Random Beats is a story of how digital communication can impact relationships in today’s world. Manoj says, “It’s a world where we probably communicate more through digital channels than in person, and this opens up numerous possibilities of friction and miscommunication. A real life incident that someone narrated to me was the inspiration for me to write and direct this short film. I wanted to tell this story because I felt it was simple yet profoundly thought provoking.”

Manoj Madhusudanan is an India-based corporate leader with over 25 years of experience in data analytics, consulting and AI, for whom films have been a passion since childhood. A Mechanical Engineer from IIT Madras and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur, Manoj was inspired since his younger days by the works of Ingmar Bergman, Steven Spielberg, Majid Majidi, Werner Herzog, Satyajit Ray and Adoor Gopalakrishnan, to name a few. His penchant to learn film making alongside his corporate career led him to complete three film certifications from Raindance Film School, London in 2015-2016. After dabbling with a few amateur experiments, Random Beats is the first professionally made work from Manoj.

Manoj adds, “To tell such a story without distractions, I chose to use a linear structure, a contemporary pastel palette and minimalistic use of background score. It’s really heartening to see the reception and the accolades our little film is receiving at international film festivals, and we are excited that we are an official entry at Goa Short Film Festival 2024.”

Random Beats will be screened at Goa Short Film Festival, to be held on October 26 and 27 in Goa, India.

Pre-Launch Spotlight: Unveiling the Future of Business Process Excellence with AI

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are constantly seeking ways to optimize efficiency, enhance decision-making, and stay competitive. At the heart of this transformation lies the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into business processes—an innovation that promises to reshape industries. In a highly anticipated upcoming release, “Business Yoga with AI: Ascend to excellence by transforming innovative ideas into sustainable business solutions through the strategic application of artificial intelligence”, this groundbreaking book explores how AI is not just a tool but a strategic enabler for achieving operational excellence.

It allows businesses to go beyond gradual change, enabling real-time optimization, predictive analytics, and even autonomous decision-making.

This book highlights how AI’s capabilities—from machine learning and natural language processing to robotic process automation (RPA)—can be harnessed to enhance business processes. It showcases real-world examples of companies that have used AI to automate repetitive tasks, predict customer behaviors, and uncover insights buried deep within large datasets.

What to Expect from the Book

“Business Yoga with AI” is not just another tech-centric book; it is a comprehensive guide that connects theory with practice. Geared towards both business leaders and tech enthusiasts, the book addresses key topics such as:

  • Business Process Excellence with Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen / Continuous Improvements, Business Process Engineering (BPR), TQM, Design Thinking, Hoshin Kanri, Balanced Scorecard etc.
  • Understanding AI’s Role in Process Automation: How AI tools can automate mundane tasks, freeing up human resources to focus on more strategic activities.
  • Leveraging AI for Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics: How businesses can use AI to not only predict future trends but also recommend actions based on those predictions.
  • AI-Driven Decision Making: How organizations are integrating AI into their decision-making processes to improve accuracy and speed.
  • Overcoming the Challenges of AI Adoption: A practical guide to navigating the complexities and potential pitfalls of integrating AI into existing business systems.

By blending academic insights with practical case studies, the book provides a roadmap for organizations looking to scale AI-driven process improvements. Each chapter dives into a different aspect of AI’s impact on business processes, offering readers a 360-degree view of what it takes to achieve true business process excellence in the digital age.

A New Era of Efficiency and Innovation

The pre-launch of “Business Yoga with AI” comes at a time when the demand for AI integration is at an all-time high. Businesses across sectors—from finance and healthcare to manufacturing and retail—are recognizing the need to leverage AI not just for efficiency, but for innovation. As digital transformation accelerates, the ability to adapt and implement AI-driven processes will separate the leaders from the laggards.

This book promises to be an essential resource for College graduates, business executives, operations managers, and technology leaders who are grappling with how to make AI a core part of their strategy. It outlines the steps needed to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement, powered by AI, that will sustain long-term growth and competitiveness.

Pre-Launch Buzz: What the Experts Are Saying

Even before its official release, “Business Process Excellence and AI” is already generating buzz in the industry. Thought leaders are praising the book for its forward-thinking approach and practical insights.

Orange O Tec Pvt Ltd: Leading the Way in Textile Innovation

Orange O Tec Pvt Ltd: Leading the Way in Textile Innovation

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 18: Orange O Tec Pvt Ltd, based in Surat, Gujarat, is transforming the textile industry with its advanced digital and auxiliary textile machinery. With over 15 years of expertise and more than 500 installations across India, the company has built a solid reputation for offering innovative and high-performing machines. Whether you’re an entrepreneur starting a new business or a veteran looking to boost productivity, Orange O Tec caters to all needs, providing machines that print anywhere from 1,000 meters to 50,000 meters of fabric per day. Their product range covers everything from entry-level machines to high-speed digital textile printers.

Supporting this robust offering is a dedicated team of more than 75 engineers, ensuring comprehensive after-sales service. This commitment has helped their installed machines achieve an output of 3.5 crore meters of fabric printed every month, a clear testament to their industry expertise.

The Homer K64: A Game-Changing Fabric Printer

One of Orange O Tec’s most innovative products is the Homer K64–a high-speed digital fabric printing machine that’s redefining the future of textile printing. It’s designed for businesses of all sizes, whether they are just starting or seeking to increase productivity and output.

The Homer K64 is currently the fastest scanning printer in India, capable of printing up to 15,000 linear meters per day. With 7 machines already running in India, Orange O Tec aims to have 20 K64 printers installed across the country by the end of March 2025. This machine has quickly become the go-to solution for high-volume fabric printing, offering speed, precision, and durability in one package.

Additionally, Orange O Tec has successfully installed over 200 Homer machines in India, solidifying their strong presence and commitment to providing top-notch textile printing solutions.

Key Features of the Homer K64 –

Unmatched Precision and Print Speed

The Homer K64 is equipped with industrial-grade piezoelectric printheads, offering multiple configurations from 32 to 64 heads.

Its speed, coupled with high-quality output, makes it an ideal choice for businesses that need both precision and efficiency.

Advanced Air Blade Technology for Superior blanket drying

One of the standout features of the K64 is its air blade technology. The airblade in the Phoenix K64 textile printer removes moisture from the blanket, improving print quality by preventing smudging and color bleeding.

Ink Chilling and Misting Control

The K64’s ink management system is designed to maintain consistent ink temperature, ensuring color stability. The misting control system further enhances print clarity by reducing ink splatter, ensuring crisp, clean designs with minimal waste, making it particularly suitable for blotch printing.

Flexible Fabric Handling with a Longer Blanket

The Homer K64 is designed with a longer blanket, which improves the touch and feel of the fabric as it moves through the machine. This ensures smooth fabric feeding and controlled fabric movement, reducing the chance of errors during printing and allowing for a wider range of fabric types, including cotton, silk, polyester, and more.

Durability and Ease of Use

Despite its advanced capabilities, the K64 is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its intuitive interface allows operators to manage the machine efficiently, even in high-pressure environments. Built for durability, the K64 is constructed with a focus on long-term performance, making it a reliable investment for businesses looking to enhance their productivity over the long run.

Replacing Traditional Flatbed Machines

With the Homer K64, Orange O Tec is paving the way for the replacement of older, traditional flatbed printing methods. The K64’s speed and flexibility far surpass that of flatbed machines, providing a faster and more efficient solution for fabric printing businesses.

A Growing Presence in India

As of now, more than 7 K64 machines are running successfully in India, with a target of 20 by March 2025, reflecting the increasing demand for this high-speed scanning printer. Orange O Tec’s partnership with Homer has already resulted in more than 200 Homer machines running successfully across India. The K64 is not only leading the way in India but also making a significant impact globally, with over 50 machines installed worldwide.

Stargazing to Star building: The man who is leading the worlds largest scientific endeavour of the 21st century in Astronomy.

Stargazing to Star building: The man who is leading the worlds largest scientific endeavour of the 21st century in Astronomy.

In an exclusive interview that feels more like a journey through time and space, we uncover the story of Kaushik Bose, the man at the helm of constructing the mega science project – Square Kilometre Array Observatory Telescope (SKAO LOW) in outback of Australian Desert. From his early days in Ranchi, India, surrounded by the whispers of nature and the stories of the cosmos, Bose has charted a path that few dare to dream.

Bose’s fascination with the universe began in the sprawling gardens of his childhood home, under the expansive Indian sky. “My mother introduced me to the stars,” he shares, reflecting on the evenings spent tracing constellations. It’s this celestial curiosity that propelled him from dreaming of moon colonies to leading the construction of the SKAO, an international endeavour set to redefine our understanding of the universe. Bose has been an international advisor to several governments across world in delivering critical facilities. “Building difficult things in unusual places on Earth”, has pretty much been my passion” he mentioned.

India’s Stellar Role

The SKAO, an unprecedented global collaboration, aims to build the world’s largest radio telescope. With India’s recent entry into the project, Bose feels a profound connection to the mission. “India’s dedication to astronomical research is crucial for the SKAO,” he states, highlighting the country’s pivotal role in the project’s software and planning phases & its integration to the supercomputing technology which the project will use.  Amongst some recent involvement, India successfully completed delivery of 350,000 meters of high voltage cables for the telescope construction.

(High Voltage cables from India which will power up the SKAO LOW Telescope- Pictures from MRO site, with Kaushik)

Unravelling Cosmic Mysteries

What excites Bose the most about the SKAO’s potential is the quest to answer age-old questions about our universe. “We’re on the brink of potentially detecting signals from distant civilizations,” he marvels, contemplating the impact of such discoveries on our understanding of existence. It’s a testament to human curiosity and the unyielding desire to explore the unknown.

A Monumental Endeavor

Describing the SKAO’s scale, Bose draws an awe-inspiring picture: “Imagine fitting over 200 Eden Gardens within our project’s expanse.” The project’s infrastructure, sprawling across vast deserts, is a beacon of human ambition and ingenuity. The network of cables alone could circle the Earth multiple times, a physical manifestation of the project’s global reach and its boundless aspirations.

Challenges of Cosmic Proportions

Constructing in the Murchison desert’s radio-quiet zone comes with its unique set of challenges, from stringent electromagnetic compliance to the logistical hurdles of coordinating a global team. But for Bose, who has built infrastructure in some of the world’s most remote locales, these challenges are just another puzzle to solve on the path to unlocking the universe’s secrets.

A Heart Anchored in India

Despite his global journey, Bose’s heart remains firmly rooted in India. “The connection to my homeland remains strong,” he asserts, expressing a desire to contribute to India’s burgeoning scientific landscape. His work, though spanning continents, always circles back to the serene landscapes of his birthplace.

Inspiring Future Generations

Bose’s message to the youth is clear: let curiosity lead the way. His transition from an architect of buildings to an architect of the stars is a narrative of passion and perseverance. “The future belongs to those bold enough to chase their dreams,” he encourages, envisioning a world where the next generation reaches even further into the cosmos.

A New Perspective on Our Place in the Universe

In contemplating the current era, Bose sees a parallel with historical moments of great innovation. Exploring space, he believes, offers new solutions and insights, potentially addressing some of our most pressing challenges. It’s a perspective that reiterates the importance of looking beyond our immediate surroundings, towards the vastness of space, for answers.

As we wrapped up our conversation, it was clear that Kaushik Bose is not just building the world’s most advanced radio telescope; he’s laying the foundation for a future where the mysteries of the universe are within our grasp. The story of Kaushik stands out as one of the many bright talents India is putting up on the global stage.
