One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.
India, like various other nations, has plunged into an unprecedented health as well as an economic crisis owing to Covid-19. Resultantly, the government has been adopting a constantly-evolving approach to stabilise this two-fold emergency.
To better understand/ learn the ramifications of this situation and how it is being controlled at a grass-root level, our hub is excited to hold the 1st session of the Ripple Series through a webinar titled 'COVID-19 and the Ripple Effect - Fighting on the Frontlines from a Covid Warzone' with Mr. Siddharth Shankar Swain & Mr. Chakravartisingh Rathore, officers of the Indian Administrative Services (IAS) posted in Ganjam district, Odisha.
Ganjam is the most populous district in Odisha with over 4 million residents. Recently, Ganjam witnessed large spikes in positive cases and has been a Covid-19 warzone. However, the administration managed to ameliorate the situation and mitigate its impact in quick time. What challenges did the Ganjam administration face/ continues to face to curb the virus spread? What was the approach to ramp-up the health infrastructure and to ensure adequate testing? How did the circumstances change after the mass-return of migrant workers to Ganjam? How has Ganjam administration attempted to find a balance between saving lives and individuals earning their livelihood? What strategic lessons have been learnt from this unrelenting crisis?
We will discuss these questions/ themes and much more, on the ground realities in a Covid-19 warzone with our guests - the administrative/ strategic pillars of Ganjam district.
