A nationwide movement for the betterment of underprivileged community
 
Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Turtle, one of the finest lifestyle brands has made swift strides in becoming a popular menswear brand in India.  And in the process, the corporate has continuously strived to match the attributes of a turtle which has a tough outlook but soft and sensitive inside; lives long; never forgets its roots; can survive on land and in water and highly depends on its natural surroundings and its ecological system.
 
Hence apart from making the finest apparel, it has relentlessly endeavored to explore avenues to conserve nature and serve its surrounding in a collective effort.  Taking this a step ahead, Turtle today initiated a social movement – #IDroppedMyClothes - a nationwide movement for the betterment of underprivileged community.
 
The campaign makes an appeal to all individual's in association with Goonj to be socially responsible by donating their clothes at any of the Turtle stores across the country.  Also, they can help this initiative become a nationwide movement by posting their donation with a picture or video on the social media with (hashtag) #idroppedmyclothes and nominating their friends/family to do the same.
 
According to Mr. Shitanshu Jhunjhunwalla, Director, Turtle Ltd, “The format of this campaign is such that the noble cause of donating clothes to underprivileged can also be a fun activity for people. I would request everyone to be a part of this. Every person who donates will be eligible for free points added to their membership card which can be redeemed on their purchase.”
 
At the end of the campaign all the collected clothes will be donated to underprivileged across the country through Goonj which is a non-governmental organization working in 21 states across India in disaster relief, humanitarian aid and community development.
 
Turtle has been engaging in various efforts to support similar social causes through their CSR campaigns. They are actively involved in the conservation of endangered species of turtles across India for many years and recently entered into a partnership with TSA to support the conservation of freshwater turtles around the world to help shape a better, more sustainable community under its CSR philosophy. Turtle’s strong belief in ‘Earth’ and the preservation of the environment has fuelled many such initiatives, one of which is promoting the hand-spun and hand-woven, eco-friendly Khadi fabric with its premium and Limited Edition Khadi collection that would benefit the weavers and their families.

BWI: मर्क के उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन ने ओटीसी क्षेत्र के भविष्य पर चर्चा की शुरुआत की

 
Source : Business Wire
Friday, November 28, 2014 4:42PM IST (11:12AM GMT)
 
मर्क के उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन ने ओटीसी क्षेत्र के भविष्य पर चर्चा की शुरुआत की
 
India

  • उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन ने उद्योग के प्रमुख पहलुओं पर सर्वोच्च स्तर की चर्चा की मेजबानी की
  • वक्ताओं और प्रतिनिधिमंडल के सदस्यों ने इस बात पर चर्चा की कि यह क्षेत्र विकास संबंधी परिवर्तन की ओर बढ़ रहा है या व्यवहार में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव है
  • तीसरी तिमाही के आंकड़ों से डिविजन की निरंतर सफलता और साल के मुकाबले साल के हिसाब से ठोस विकास का पता चलता है   
मर्क के उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन ने आज सर्वोच्च स्तर की एक चर्चा का आयोजन किया। यह चर्चा ओटीसी क्षेत्र के प्रमुख, भविष्य के पहलुओं पर केंद्रित थी और इसका आयोजन साइंस म्युजियम, लंदन में किया गया। इसमें अग्रणी विश्लेषकों, पेशेवर प्रतिनिधियों और मरीज समूहों का योगदान था। इस आयोजन में मर्क उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य की वरिष्ठ प्रबंध टीम के अनुभव और विचार भी थे और इसमें उद्योग पर पड़ने वाले प्रमुख दबावों और प्रभावों पर वाह्य परिप्रेक्ष्य भी था।     

आज के इस आयोजन और चालू महने के शुरू में परिणाम प्रकाशन पर टिप्पणी करते हुए मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी, उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य के प्रेसिडेंट, उटा केमरिच कील ने कहा, “आज की चर्चा मर्क के उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन के लिए एक महत्त्वपूर्ण मील का पत्थर है क्योंकि ओटीसी क्षेत्र में हम लगातार महत्त्वपूर्ण हो रहे हैं और इस साल हमारी कुल वार्षिक बिक्री एक अरब डॉलर से ज्यादा है। हम उम्मीद करते हैं कि कारोबार, फार्मेसी और मरीज संगठनों के दुनिया भर के अग्रणी स्टेकधारकों को एकजुट करने से हमारे क्षेत्र के लिए आगे आने वाले प्रमुख दबावों और मौकों को लेकर ज्यादा स्पष्टता उभरेगी। तीसरी तिमाही में और पूरे साल के दौरान हमारे अच्छे कारोबारी परिणामों के आलोक में ये प्रभाव और महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं जिससे हमारी कंपनी और इस क्षेत्र के लिए आगे का एक सफल रास्ता तैयार किया जा सकता है।”

प्रमुख चुनौतियां, अच्छे मौके

एक गतिशील कारोबारी माहौल

एक क्षेत्र के रूप में उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य ने गए साल अच्छी खासी लेन-देन की गतिविधि देखी है और विलय तथा अधिग्रहण से बाजार में हिस्सेदारी प्रभावित हुई है। मर्क के उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य डिविजन के लिए परिचालन में परिवर्तन और विकास को नए ब्रांड शामिल किए जाने से गति मिली है जिन्हें मर्क सेरोनो से स्थानांतरित किया गया है। इससे उभरते बाजारों से ज्यादा राजस्व के प्रति स्थानांतरित होने में सहायता मिली है। इस डिविजन की रणनीति सफलतापूर्वक ‘3x3’ के सिद्धांत पर टिकी रही है। इसका मतलब है कम से कम तीन अग्रणी उपभोक्ता ब्रांड पर फोकस और सभी प्रमुख बाजारों में कम से कम 3% की हिस्सेदारी।

आज के आयोजन के दौरान कारोबारी माहौल पर चर्चा में उपभोक्ताओं के लिए ऐसे रणनीतिक रुख के प्रभावों पर भी विचार किया गया और इस बात पर भी कि कैसे इस बात की संभावना है कि आने वाले वर्षों में अहम बदलाव देखे जाएंगे।

हेल्थकेयर पेशेवरों की बढ़ती महत्ता

फार्मेसी के सिद्धांतो पर स्थापित एक कंपनी के रूप में मर्क ने हमेशा उपभोक्ताओं और मरीजों को अपनी पसंद की सलाह और दिशानिर्देशन मुहैया कराने के लिए हेल्थकेयर पेशेवरों की केंद्रीय भूमिका पर विश्वास किया है। आज के आयोजन के दौरान डेलीगेट्स ने समाज को सलाह और सहायता मुहैया कराने में फार्मासिस्ट की बदलती भूमिका पर चर्चा की। 

इस प्रवृत्ति पर टिप्पणी करते हुए रॉयल फार्मास्यूटिकल सोसाइटी के प्रेसिडेंट और गेस्ट स्पीकर श्री अश सोनी ने कहा, “स्वास्थ्य को लेकर जो लोग चिन्तित रहते हैं उनके लिए फार्मासिस्ट अक्सर प्रथम संपर्क बिन्दु होते हैं और पहुंच योग्य सेटिंग में अमूल्य सहयता और सलाह मुहैया करा सकते हैं। मरीज को इससे आश्वासन रहता है और यह सूचना  का एक भरोसेमंद स्रोत है। उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य कंपनियों के लिए फार्मासिस्ट उनके और ग्राहकों के बीच एक अहम संपर्क होते हैं जो ऐसी सलाह देते हैं जिसपर मरीज निर्भर करते हैं।”

सशक्ति और सक्रिय उपभोक्ता

उपभोक्ता विकास चाहता हो या क्रांति, उपभोक्ता व्यवहार की बदलती भूमिका ओटीसी क्षेत्र को भी प्रभावित कर रही है। अब मरीज स्वास्थ्य से संबंधित अपनी यात्रा खुद करना चाहते हैं ऐसे में सूचना और पसंद की मांग कभी भी इतनी ज्यादा नहीं रही।

मेन्स हेल्थ फोरम यूरोप के डॉ. इयान बैंक्स चर्चा में एक गेस्ट पैनलिस्ट थे, ने कहा कि, “कई लोग सक्रियता से अपना स्वास्थ्य मेनटेन करने के इच्छुक रहते हैं – यह एक ऐसी प्रवृत्ति है जिससे नतीजे बेहतर आएंगे और अच्छा स्वस्थ संभव होगा। हालांकि बहुत सारे लोग स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं को ऐक्सेस करते ही नहीं हैं और पहुंचने के लिहाज से मुश्किल इसी समूह को फार्मैसी और प्राइमरी केयर सेवाओं की सबसे ज्यादा जरूरत है। स्वास्थ्य के प्रति जागरूकता और अनावश्यक मांग पैदा करना इस क्षेत्र की प्रमुख चुनौतियों में एक है।”

अग्रणी स्थिति में नया करना

मर्क में कंज्यूमर हेल्थ डेविजन के लिए 2014 के दौरान नए उत्पाद और नवीनताएं पेश की गई हैं। इनका निर्माण ग्राहकों से मिली प्रतिक्रिया के आधार पर किया गया है। इससे कंपनी को बाजार में हिस्सेदारी पाने में सहायता मिली है वह भी बेहद प्रतिस्पर्धी माहौल में जो उपभोक्ता प्रवृत्तियों और मांग की बढ़ती महत्ता से संचालित होती है। 

एक उल्लेनीय उदाहरण सेवन सीज परफेक्ट 7 की पेशकश थी – यह एक ऐसा उत्पाद है जिसे महिलाओं औप पुरुषों की बढ़ी उम्र की आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति के लिए खासतौर से तैयार किया गया। दो परफेक्ट पेशकशें– एक खासतौर से महिलाओं के लिए और एक पुरुषों के लिए – में समुद्री तेल के प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का मेल है। यह प्रमुख विटामिन और खनिज से समृद्ध ओमेगा – 3 से संपन्न है।

इस नवीनता का आधार उपभोक्ताओं से मिली विस्तृत जानकारी थी जिसे सघन उपभोक्ता अनुसंधान गतिविधियों से तैयार किया गया था। इससे अनुसंधान और विकास तथा विपणन दोनों निर्देशित हुए ताकि लंबे समय तक जवां बने रहने की ग्राहक की चाहत तत्काल पूरी की जा सके। और यह मर्क के कंज्यूमर हेल्थ डिविजन की नई उपभोक्ता केंद्रित नवीनता वाली सोच का एक जानकारी पूर्ण उदाहरण है। 
वित्तीय सफलता के जरिए अग्रणी चर्चा

मर्क का कंज्यूमर हेल्थ डिविजन इस क्षेत्र में लगातार सक्रिय भूमिका निभा रहा है। और यह इसके भविष्य पर चर्चा संभव करके ही नहीं है बल्कि निरंतर वित्तीय सफलता के जरिए भी जो प्रमुख रणीतिक ब्रांड और नए उत्पादों की खोज पर लगातार ध्यान दिए जाने से हासिल हो रही है।   

2014 की तीसरी तिमाही में इस डिविजन ने 1.4 प्रतिशत के अच्छे ऑर्गेनिक विकास की रिपोर्ट की। इसके मुकाबले 2013 की तीसरी तिमाही बहुत मजबूत रही और साल से तारीख तक कुल पांच प्रतिशत विकास हुआ है। कुल बिक्री 569.1 मिलियन यूरो है जो पिछले साल इसी अवधि में 561.8 मिलियन यूरो था। तिमाही के दौरान बिक्री € 204.1 मिलियन रही। यह मजबूत विकास पर आधारित है खासतौर से उभरते बाजारों में जैसे ब्राजील, वेनेजुएला मलेशिया, इंडोनेशिया और दक्षिण अफ्रीका में।

मर्क के रणनीतिक ब्रांड्स में से फेमिबियॉन, सेवन सीज और न्यूरोबिन पर अच्छा-खासा विकास महसूस किया गया है। 2014 की तीसरी तिमाही में भी मुनाफा हुआ है (ईबीआईटडीए प्री – वनव टाइम आयटम्स) जो 48.6 मिलियन रहा। पिछले साल की तीसरी तिमाही बहुत मजबूत थी। इसके मुकाबले यह 16.5% कम है।

लंदन में इस आयोजन के बारे में

सर्वोच्च स्तर की चर्चा जिसका विषय था, “ट्रेन्ड्स, चैलेंजेज एंड ऑपरचुनिटीज इन कंज्यूमर हेल्थ : इवोल्यूशन ऑर रिवोल्यूशन” (उपभोक्ता स्वास्थ्य में प्रवृत्तियां, चुनौतियां और मौके : विकास या क्रांति) का आयोजन आज, 28 नवंबर 2014 को किया गया। यह आयोजन लंदन के साइंज म्युजियम में किया गया था। अतिरिक्त जानकारी और इसमें फोटो तथा वीडियो शामिल है, मर्क के कॉरपोरेट वेबसाइट पर जल्दी ही उपलब्ध होगा।
