Earlier this month, Star Sports partnered with WhatsApp to custom create a branded content series, The Inner Circle to celebrate the close-knit ‘inner circle’ of people that help sports stars flourish and grow, on and off the field. The series is part of WhatsApp’s current #MessagePrivately campaign and features prominent sports personalities like Shreyas Iyer, Mirabai Chanu, Sania Mirza, PR Sreejesh and Deepa Malik, sharing their stories through freewheeling conversations with host, Abish Mathew. The series will be aired on Star Sports’ channels and Star Sports’ YouTube with amplification on their social media, providing unseen glimpses into the inner circles of these celebrated sports icons. Speaking about the insight behind this unique activation, Avinash Pant, Director Marketing, India says, “WhatsApp believes that all of us need to have an assurance of our own personal space and that privacy is an important component of our lives that helps support growth and brings people closer.  This is no different for public figures and celebrities. When we launched our campaign, of which this activation is a part, we showcased how we provide a private and secure environment to people allowing them to flourish both personally and professionally. When we looked at platforms to…

Meesho has more than doubled its valuation in less than six months, to $4.9 billion, as a growing number of high-profile investors back the Indian social commerce startup that is reporting strong growth despite the pandemic. The Bangalore-headquartered firm said on Thursday it has raised $570 million in its Series F financing round, following a $300 million Series E in April when it was valued at $2.1 billion. Fidelity and B Capital Group co-led the new financing round, bringing the startup’s all-time raise to over $1 billion. Prosus Ventures, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Facebook, and Good Capital also participated in the new round, which didn’t involve any secondary transaction, the startup’s co-founder and chief executive Vidit Aatrey told TechCrunch in an interview. Meesho — which counts Sequoia Capital India, Y Combinator, and Elevation Capital among its earliest investors — operates a three-sided marketplace that connects suppliers (manufacturers and distributors) and resellers with customers on social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. The resellers buy listed products from the suppliers and make commission on each transaction when they sell to customers. About 80% of resellers on the platform are women, said Aatrey, who co-founded Meesho with Sanjeev Barnwal in…

Representative image | PTI On the occasion of world heart day on Wednesday the Health Department in Gurugram has said it is going to start a WhatsApp video call facility for heart patients to consult cardiologists soon. However, through video calls, if the doctor feels a need for a physical check-up, the patients will have to visit nearby government health centres. This initiative of the health department will benefit people more living in rural areas as after consultation with the doctor, they can visit nearby health centres, primary and community health centres for checkups. Also, If the doctor feels that the patient needs the advice of a cardiologist, then a WhatsApp video call will be made from there. However, this facility will be available only on Friday. "Patients coming to health centres will avail the benefit of this facility. To make a WhatsApp call, the number will be given to the patient from the hospital. Cardiologists will talk to patients in the cath lab running on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in the district hospital, Gurugram. Many people have complaints related to heart disease but they are not able to go to the doctor," Yadav said. Once a week an OPD…

Sending a child off to school for the first time brings many parents to tears. Yet what they may have discovered this September is something that made them want to cry even more than watching their offspring disappear into the classroom – the sheer volume of admin from the school.Two weeks into her daughter starting Reception, Amy was inundated with so many texts, emails and messages about projects, trips, charity days, online-learning platforms, fancy dress days, virtual calendars, updates about uniforms and dress codes and so much more that she felt besieged. “The school uses two different apps, emails and text,” she says, “and you never know which one it’s going to be. Some things you get three times, some none at all. Some they send to one parent but not the other. “They also have a habit of sending out forms to be filled out three days after they need them so they then chase you 20 minutes later for not filling it in.”For Laura, who has three children at nursery and primary school, the admin is “intense”. She says: “Between three lots of curriculum evenings, the school’s learning portal, the school emails, login details for all the different…

The HSE has issued a warning to parents on primary school WhatsApp groups about the dangers of rumour mills naming a child who has Covid-19. hatsApp exchanges between parents could go into overdrive following the decision to abandon routine testing and tracing of primary schoolchildren who are close contacts of a classmate with the virus. But this potential flurry of exchanges, which can easily turn into a hotbed of well-meaning school gossip about a Covid-19 positive child, should not be posted. The HSE told parents that it is important that “a child’s confidentiality is not broken in line with normal GDPR requirements”. The advice warned: ”It is important that children and families do not feel targeted or pressure to release information.” It follows confirmation that school principals have been told there is “no clinical need” for information to be shared with parents of classmates if a pupil tests positive. However, parents should not send their child to school if they have possible symptoms of Covid-19 and they can contact their GP for free about arranging a test or book online. It comes as around 10,000 children, who were restricting movements after being identified as a close contact, returned to the…
