India’s largest white label ATM network fastracks ATM accessibility – spans across over 140 towns and villages in 31 districts of Madhya Pradesh

Bhopal, June 2016 – Tata Communications Payment Solutions Limited (TCPSL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Communications Limited and the largest White Label ATM service provider in the country, announced the deployment of its 8000th Indicash™ ATM at a Tier 6 location Appipatti,Theni, Tamilnadu. This achievement reinforces TCPSL’s commitment to spearhead financial inclusion in the country through its strong focus on driving ATM usage in the untapped and underpenetrated semi-urban and rural geographies. In less than three years, the Indicash™ ecosystem has extended ATM accessibility to over 30 million Indians across 4600 towns and villages in 20 states of India, an accomplishment which parallels the FMCG sector, in terms of speed and efficacy.

Part of the $108.8 billion Tata group, Indicash™ aims at empowering Indians with the convenience of accessing their own money with ease across cities, towns and villages. The 8000strong Indicash™ ATM network has an extensive presence in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Kerala, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,  Gujarat, Pondicherry, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Orissa,  Uttarakhand, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Indicash™ ATM is also challenging the rural conundrum of the underpenetrated ATM market. Unlike bank ATMs, Indicash™ has a strong focus in driving ATM usage in hitherto underserved rural geogprahies. Of the total portfolio, 65% of ATMs are set up in Tier 3 to 6 markets. The Indicash™ ATM Network currently has over 3100 ATMs (43%) in villages with less than 10000 population as against the mandate of only 10% deployment in these villages. Out of these, 1000 locations are in first-time ATM markets.

Madhya Pradesh forms an integral part of the company’s deployment strategy with over 225Indicash ATMs spearheading ATM accessibility across 140 towns and villages in 31 districts. Key districts of Bhopal, Indore, Gwalire, Bhind, Morena, Damoh, Chhatarpur, Raisen and more are connected by India’s largest ATM White Label ATM network.Indicash^TM is well poised to play a transformational role in furthering economic empowerment and fast-tracking ATM penetration in the state.Currently, Bhopal district has a growing network of over 25 Indicash ATMs.

Sanjeev Patel, CEO, Tata Communications Payment Solutions Limited, says, “The 8000 ATM milestone reinforces our  committment  to actualise the Reserve Bank of India’s(RBI) vision of achieving financial inclusion by playing a pioneering role in expanding the ATM footprint into hitherto unbanked geographies. There has been an uptake in bank accounts in these regions making the ramp up of the ATM infrastructure in the country an imperative. This will truly empower the masses with the convenience of accessing their own money with ease. Indicash™ is proud to be leading the ATM growth in the country by unlocking the potential in previously untapped and underserved semi urban and rural geographies. We are well poised to play a transformational role in furthering economic empowerment and fast-tracking India’s financial inclusion agenda.”

TCPSL has always led from the front and introduced innovations in the financial services industry including a new plug and play ATM deployment model. This plug and play model has enabled banks, across categories, to rapidly roll out ATMs at almost 25% of the cost of brown label ATMs. The cost advantage is in addition to the various other plus points such as the increased flexibility of locations selection, immediate brand reach, minimal operational hassles and zero capex outflows. The Indicash^TM ATM network is already being leveraged significantly by many banks like Federal Bank, DBS, Solapur Janata Sahakari Bank and more, in this operating model.

Indicash^TM ATM network is also extending its expansion benefit to advertisers. With tier 3 to 6 locations turning into the latest hot spots for companies across sectors for growth, advertising is a powerful media vehicle that is used to reach out to its audience. Brands across categories are therefore increasingly lapping up to the Indicash^TM ATM network as an effective brand awareness and engagement medium to tap customers in these high growth markets.

Indicash™ ATMs offer a host of cash and non-cash services such as cash withdrawals, balance enquiries, mini-statements, PIN change and VAS services like card-to-card transfer, cheque book request and bank statement request. It accepts all domestic debit cards with the first five or three transactions per month being free, depending on the location, in line with RBI regulations for use of ‘other bank’ ATMs.

Ends…

He lands up at Sunny (Vipul Roy) and Anisha’s house and starts doing things that shocks everyone. Finally Sunny identifies the problem and alerts all the family members.

Transcript- Umesh Shukla

Filmmaker Umesh Shukla, who got popular with his film Oh My God!, is currently busy with an upcoming show Khidki. The show, which will be aired on SAB TV, is being produced by Umesh, JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia. This weekly episodic series is inspired from real life funny stories sent by viewers. In an interview, Shukla shares his experience:
 

Q1. Did you receive many stories from viewers for your show?
Ans: We never expected to receive 7,600 stories from people in just two months! We have a team of good writers who shortlist them. The best part of conceptualising this show is that they are real life stories and you come to the conclusion that ‘Truth is stranger than fiction.’ Everyone has a unique style of writing them.

Q2. How many of these stories have you been able to convert into episodes? 

Ans: When JD Majethia approached me to attempt something out-of-the-box, I saw that he was ready to take risk. We have found many stories that touched our hearts and made us laugh. Also, there were a few shocking stories that we converted into episodes and in retrospect now, they sound humorous.

Q3. Did you face issues in shortlisting the content that you received?
Ans: When someone is sending their life story, it is important that it should not look like you are making a joke out of their experiences. But we were able to bridge that because of our writers. Some people used to send their story in just 1-2 lines, and to execute such a story over 2-3 episodes was difficult. For instance, a regular show will have the same setting everytime, but here with every new story, the setting changes.

 
Khidki premieres on June 28, and will air every Monday to Friday at 9.30 pm on SAB TV.

ZINDAGI’S FIRST ORIGINAL SERIES

‘BHAAGE RE MANN’ SEASON 2 PREMIERES ON 23^RD JUNE

Mumbai, June 2016: After winning audiences over with their realistic portrayal in a contemporary Indian setting, the bubbly Padmini a.k.a. Karuna Pandey and the innocent Raghav a.k.a. Chandan Anand are all set to make a comeback. Zindagi’s first original fiction show, Bhaage Re Mann returns on 23^rd June, 2016, every Monday to Saturday at 10:30 PM, with an all new season. The show that intrigued viewers with its exemplary slice-of-life narrative and made the main protagonist, Padmini aka ‘Mini B’ a household name will now captivate audiences with more twists and turns.

Bhaage Re Mann advocates a very simple yet important message of simply following your heart. The first season witnessed a roller coaster ride of emotions, humour, and romance; from the devastating loss of Anjali, to Jyothi deciding to leave her husband, to Maa trying to protect Raghav from Padmini. The show has shown various facets of Padmini and how she dealt with each situation in her unique and quirky way. She helped her loved ones to face life’s challenges differently with her out of the box solutions.

The first season ended at a point when Raghav gathered enough courage to confess his feelings to a confused Padmini. The entry of Padmini’s old friend Rudra (Aamir Dalvi) further infuriated an insecure Raghav. We left the story in a nail bitting moment in the last episode when Raghav’s estranged wife Rhea (Manasi Salvi) makes a sudden entry just as the love story between Padmini and Raghav begins to heat up.

What will season 2 have in store for us? Will Mini B and Raghav finally get together?

To find out catch the season 2 Premiere of Bhaage Re Mann on 23rd June every Monday to Saturday at 10:30 pm, only on Zindagi

Rajma Chawal is the favourite of the Oberoi brothers on the sets of Ishqbaaaz!

Gone are the days when actresses would cook on the sets of their shows for the entire cast and crew. Here we have the 3 most eligible bachelors of the Oberoi family; Omkara, Rudra and Shivaay (Kunal Jaisingh, Leenesh Mattoo and Nakuul Mehta) who prefer cooking their mutual favourite Rajma chawal on the sets of the show and even eat it amidst themselves.

The set of Ishqbaaaz always smells of the Punjabi delicacy whenever the three brothers are shooting together. The Oberoi mansion that boasts of a properly functional kitchen has found frequent visitors in the form of the three brothers who more often than not are spotted cooking their favourite meal and relishing it all the time.

Talking about the same, Nakuul Mehta said, “The three of us house a common passion for Rajma chawal and since the kitchen is almost real and has a  proper stove…all we need is a little time off and we get down to the cooking business. It’s funny because the girls on the set often ask us why we do the cooking and laugh at us, but we know that together we have a ball.”

We certainly love the bromance.
