Dineout Unveils ‘Dineout Techpreneurs’ Program To Groom Future Business Leaders

India’s largest dining out and restaurant tech platform, Dineout has launched ‘Dineout Techpreneurs’, a unique program designed to train and mentor software engineers who aspire to be future business leaders. As a part of the program, candidates from a software engineering background would get a chance to work in Dineout’s fast-paced environment, get exposure to the business side of the brand’s technology, receive guidance on MBA applications like GMAT/CAT tips, application essay reviews, interview practice, etc and intern in product management roles before they break into a b-school of their choice. 

This program would offer B-school aspirants a chance to ideate and partner with product managers to convert their innovative ideas into actual product features. Also giving them the opportunity to shadow product managers on customer interviews/focus groups, understand customer pain points first hand, and then build solutions to solve these problems. They would also gain exposure to mentorship and recommendations from engineering heads, product leaders, and even the company founders before their MBA. After they secure an MBA admission, they will undergo a 6-8 week pre-MBA Product Management Internship at Dineout before joining  school  an experience that would be an X-factor differentiating them from their peers when they apply for internships or full-time roles post MBA.

Speaking at the launch of the Dineout Techpreneurs program, Amit Bhatnagar, Chief Product officer - Dineout said,

“The idea for the Dineout Techpreneurs program was formed out of our realisation that a large number of our bright young techies aspiring to transition into product management or business roles in tech companies lack the critical edge of building real products that support rapid business growth. We have put together a dynamic mentor panel that would help these sharp young minds grasp the tenets of product management, such as first principles problem-solving, customer-focus, data-driven decisions, and stakeholder management that would be applicable in a wide variety of post-MBA careers, including strategy consulting, entrepreneurship, and sales. We hope these techpreneurs co-build world-class foodtech with us, and take these skills in their stride in order to catalyse their careers as future leaders.”

Missing Office Cafeteria? Technology is here to save the day!

Food is at the heart of the workplace experience. With this generation’s palates becoming increasingly sophisticated and their hyper engagement with technology and social media, the face of food at the workplace is changing. From serving a limited menu to amplifying food choices with curated menu options, the corporate cafeteria has undergone a major transformation.

Owing to the pandemic, a plethora of initiatives have been put to action in making workplace food safe again. Compass India through their innovation have introduced technology-based interfaces to reassure employee safety and wellness.

Realizing the potential of technology to be at the heart of all transformation and to cater the evolved consumer needs and preference, and aligning towards digital innovations, Compass India has introduced these apps:

 

•             The FoodBook app has completely changed the landscape of a conventional workplace cafeteria: Through innovative user engagement, using real-time data in social media and beyond, this application helps provide trivia about the food while allowing you to choose your favorite recipe from the Chef’s table. It also enhances employee engagement with photo sharing options and contests in the same cafe. There is cashless payment option for pre-ordering or paying for a meal on the app or the self-ordering kiosk, which has been a very popular feature among young employees. In addition to that, even the Menu is curated according to the taste of the customer, with the help of intelligent algorithms to help display the customer’s favorites based on past orders.

 

•             Avoid the rush with Café Pass: a mobile based solution that will help decongest the lunch hour rush at the workplace cafeteria that firstly limits how many people can be in a Cafeteria at a time and then allows employees to choose their preferred time to eat, book their café pass and even pre-order their meal. It takes away the hassle of manual scheduling and staggered management of breaks, providing an efficient yet flexible way to manage the employee dining needs.

 

•             You can put your trust OnSafe:  an app that enables the implementation of social distancing protocols with real-time tracking at the workplace. OnSafe will prevent crowding in the office spaces and allow organisations to redesign spaces in a manner that is safe. While there are apps for contract tracing, OnSafe is designed specifically for the workplace and has features and analytics that are relevant for the workplace.

 

The resurrection of the workplace café will indeed call for disruptive models of working, innovation around the food offering, embracing digital, contactless ordering, and creative and smart choice of ingredients which help boost immunity and promote wellness.

LG launches ThinQ front load washing machine featuring AI Direct Drive motor for INR 44,990

LG Electronics (LG) introduced its most advanced innovation in laundry, deploying artificial intelligence to deliver precision washing for optimal results without the guesswork. Going beyond the realm of conventional washing machines, the new LG ThinQ™ front-load washing machine features an Artificial Intelligent Direct Drive™ (AI DD) motor. The AI DD washer builds on 20 years of advancements in LG’s groundbreaking Direct Drive motor, delivering effectiveness and efficiency.

 

Unlike normal washing machines, which only detect fabric weight, the LG ThinQ™ front-load washing machine features Artificial Intelligent Direct Drive™ (AI DD) which detects not only the weight, but also senses softness of fabric, and chooses the optimal motions for the fabric by itself.  Optimized washing depends on the type of laundry with less damages as compared to a normal washing machine.

 

LG’s AI DD technology leverages big data from twenty thousand pieces of information related to washer usage and applies settings based on the volume and delicateness of the garments in each load of laundry to deliver the most optimized washing cycle. The LG ThinQ™ washing machine operates on silent operation and has powerful washing performance that comes with standard 10-year warranty on its motor parts.

 

The LG ThinQ™ washing machine can be operated via the Smart ThinQ™ Wifi giving one access to control the machine from anywhere and anytime, creating an integrated experience for its user. The LG ThinQ™ app available on both Android and iOS, enables one to start a dry cycle or get notifications when laundry is done from anywhere.

 

In addition to the AI-DD technology, the new LG washer comes with additional features that not only save time but deliver superior performance. TurboWash™ 360 uses powerful jets to surround clothes from multiple angles so detergent can penetrate deep into fabrics for a complete clean – even for big loads – in under 59 minutes. 3D Multi Spray shoots jets of water in five different directions simultaneously to quickly break down tough stains: thus, saving both time and water. 2kg worth of laundry can now be washed in just 59 mins instead of the standard 2-hour time, reducing the consumption of water and time at hand.

 

The ThinQ™ washing machine is powered with 6 Motion DD (Direct Drive) for an Optimal Wash of fabrics. Different fabric needs different motions to remove the tough stains and at the same be gentle on the clothes. The 6 Motion Motherly Wash Includes-Scrubbing, Rolling, Stepping, Swing, Tumbling and Filtration that removes the tough stains and reduces fabric damage.  The 6 Motion Direct Drive technology moves the wash drum in multiple directions, giving fabrics the proper care while getting clothes ultra clean.

 

Additionally, ThinQ™ washing machines feature the LG Steam+™ technology which eliminates 99.9% of allergens, such as dust mites that can cause allergy or respiratory issues with 30% less wrinkles. Certified by BAF and TUV certificate, the LG Steam+™ technology generates steam for 20 mins to remove germs and bacteria, for a hygienic maintenance of laundry.

 

Commenting on the launch, Mr.Vijay Babu- VP- Home Appliances from LG Electronics said, “With our innovative washing technologies, we are certain that our washing machine with AI DD will exceed all consumer expectations. A welcome addition to our health and hygiene portfolio, we are confident that our latest washing machine will set a new benchmark for convenience with its larger capacity and customized laundry experience.”
