Toshiyuki Kasai is the new President of Epson India
Epson India has been growing rapidly for the last few years and expects to close this year with a turnover of approx Rs. 590 crores. As per latest IDC data for the Inkjet Printer market (Q4 2011), Epson now commands a Value market share of 36.6%, placing it very close to the market leader. In Dot Matrix printers Epson has a commanding 54% market share and in Point of Sale printers 52% market share. In projectors Epson is in a close fought battle for the top position.
With India being a priority market, Epson India will no longer be reporting to the regional hub at Epson Singapore but will now be reporting directly to Seiko Epson Japan. This along with Toshiyuki’s appointment is indicative of the increased expectation from Epson India in the years to come.
Toshiyuki has a vast body of experience and has worked in various functions including production control, purchase, information systems, corporate planning, business planning, profit management and various project activities. This is Toshiyuki’s third posting out of Japan. He has spent 7 years at Epson Portland (USA) in the late 80’s/early 90’s and subsequently was the Senior Vice President of Business Infrastructure at Epson Europe from 2004 to 2007. Prior to joining Epson India, Toshiyuki was the Head of Business Management for the Imaging & Information Division at Seiko Epson Japan.
“I am honoured to be given the responsibility of taking the Epson brand further in this exciting market. We have a strong team, some amazing products and an extremely robust channel in place at Epson India. I am excited and looking forward to providing the vision and direction to ensure further robust growth for Epson India while ensuring fair returns to all its stakeholders” said Mr. Toshiyuki Kasai.

Tata AIG Life’s latest campaign builds on values that create a strong foundation for a secure future
Tata AIG Life Insurance Company Ltd. released an extension of their communication campaign reiterating the importance of inculcating strong values and a sound foundation in children, by parents. The new commercial highlights the importance of building good values and principles among youngsters. Values and adherence to them are the soul of the commercial. The campaign focuses on the principle of basics being right and a strong foundation is a step towards a protected and secure future.
The TV commercial, conceived by Bates India, has successfully showcased the importance of right values which commences with a daughter convincing her father to meet her boyfriend. The father was reluctant and hesitant and was of the opinion that a new generation boy would not have appropriate values. Surprised by the young boy’s values rooted in tradition, when he touches his feet, he opens up and offers support for a coffee date. The commercial ends by emphasizing the fact that “Good beginnings deliver good returns all your life.”
Announcing the role out of the latest campaign, Vijay Sinha, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing at Tata AIG Life, said, “There is a huge, latent need for financial instruments for long-term savings and protection in India. Hence our brand strategy emphasizes on the platform of protection through the creative route of ‘strong foundation’. This brand messaging strategy, that started with the much liked and acclaimed ‘Thank You’ advertising film, has been resonated in the new campaign. The campaign focuses on our core philosophy of providing life insurance solutions that help build a strong foundation to enable individuals protect their financial needs for a stress-free and meaningful tomorrow.”
Talking about the thought behind the campaign, Dheeraj Sinha, Regional Planning Director (Asia), Bates, said, “In today’s India, growth, progress and moving ahead are the key flavours of life as well as brands. The truth however is that Indians are progressing because of their values and foundations, not without them. As my parents always said, if your basics are right, nothing can hold you back. In an increasingly uncertain time, it is our grounding that will keep us in good shape. Tata AIG Life stands up to this philosophy that our foundations will help us fly, in a context where everyone is merely focusing on winning, achievement and progress part of the picture.”
Vikrant Ramachandra, Vice President - Brand Marketing, Tata AIG Life, said, “As a wise man said, ‘India has changed. Indianness has not’. As a Tata brand, the company has always given a strong emphasis on creating a future by nurturing a strong foundation. Our communication campaigns have always focused on inculcating good values from the start. The principle that ‘a strong foundation means a protected future’ is at the core of the brand strategy.”

Juneja - Representative Director & Executive Vice President, Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd., Japan.
Dr. V Prakash chaired the panel and presented the welcome note. The session was opened for discussion with a quote by Dr. Prakash “If pharmaceuticals define efficiency, then Neutraceuticals defines efficacy.” The panel members presented their views on some of the important factors affecting the success of Neutraceuticals in India, which included- Linking farmers, growers to micro, macro and global industries in the market is very crucial in India. Food security and fortification should be the nutritional agenda. Role of nutrition, Neutraceuticals and neutrigenomics should be well understood. New innovations should be encouraged. Customer Delight should be kept in mind. Power of biotechnology and neutrigenomics should be well exploited.
Before inviting the speakers to give their views, he stated that food safety is a crucial issue in Neutraceuticals and India is almost step 8 in FSSAI in the coder language. Laying emphasis on Neutraceuticals he said, “culture, science, Neutraceuticals and nutritionals and humans coexist and have role in improving quality of life of people by global networking of food science and technology with benefit to growers and processors and mega industries in tune with SME’s with a firm but ground to reality regulatory consensus and ethics for a healthy society from pediatrics to geriatrics.”
Dr. Manfred Eggersdorfer, Shared his ideas to overcome the problems of malnutrition and deficiency of micro-nutrients among the people. He suggested that a panel of industry leaders with full expertise in this field should be created and Government should install some programs to generate awareness among the masses and to promote more and more R&D. We have to use naturally available ingredients for the generation of useful and healthy products. Safety assessments and efficacy assessments are a big concern and have to be dealt with.
Mr. Sanjaya J. Mariwala, said the success of neutraceutics will depend on what we dream and how we act to achieve the same. He insisted that the Govt. should frame an agenda to promote the growth of neutraceutics. Talking about R&D he said their work in this field should be encouraged and public and private partnership should be focused more.
He suggested that the industries should focus on the products that are costumer and need focused, more and more educational awareness should be created regarding the action and the mechanism of working of functional foods.
Dr. Vilas P. Sinkar emphasizes the use of right regulations to promote Neutraceuticals. He listed out the features of Indian Neutraceuticals market and said although being a small market (Rupees 4500 crores) which is less than 1% of the world market, it is growing at a rate of 18% which is double than the rate of the rest of the world which is approx.7%.
He further highlighted accessibility, affordability and awareness as the only solutions to the problems faced by Neutraceuticals. Throwing a light on the statistical analysis and the improvement in the field, he said the percentage of physicians in India referring nutritional supplements has gone up to 26% per year since last 4 years, which is a breakthrough. Due to such achievements the Neutraceuticals market in India will be about 100 to 200 billion US Dollar in 2050.
Mr. V.S. Reddy, said their company being the first one to export the Neutraceuticals from India is trying their level best to make Neutraceuticals a success at the highest level. He insisted on the Introduction of nutrition as a part of the medical treatment and generation of more food and technology should be highly encouraged. He enlisted that following all these actions, Neutraceuticals can achieve a growth percentage of 40-50% every year.
Mr. Kumar C. Vasist said that developing credibility for nutrition and education should be at the forefront; the use of traditional medicine should be enhanced. The issues like quality and consistency of the products were his major areas of concern. Listing out the flaws in the infrastructure and the places of manufacture, he pointed out that they need of developing them. Import and export of raw materials and products is a big issue and should be sorted out.
Dr. Lekh R. Juneja said the emphasis should be laid on the ways that can take India on global map and which can pave a pathway for overcoming the micronutrient deficiency. He put forth taste and perception as the major issues to be kept in mind while working with nutritionals and functional foods. He forbid Indian people from following “me too” strategy i.e., rather than copying old products we should focus on the production of new and unique ones. He concluded with the message that We have to make good use of science and technology for designing unique products.

Wipro Launches Cloud Based NextGen Care Management Solution for US Healthcare Market
Wipro Technologies, the Global Information Technology, Consulting and Outsourcing business of Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT), announced the launch of its NextGen Care Management solution for the US healthcare market, specifically aimed at primary care physicians and healthcare providers. The objectives of the Wipro solution are aligned with the United States' Medical Home and Accountable Care Organization (ACO) program to enable personalized, affordable and quality care. Wipro's NextGen Care Management solution enables physicians to drive patient participation in devising a personalized care plan with defined care goals, treatment plan and health improvement activities.
Wipro's application is built on Force.com, salesforce.com's social enterprise platform for employee facing social apps and, is uniquely positioned as a cloud based care management services and adopts the core principles of patient centricity, coordinated healthcare, interoperability, mobility, and outcome to better manage chronic, post-acute and elderly patient population.
General physicians and specialists can now experience continuity of information through a longitudinal view of patient's medical history, assessment and clinical reports. Primary care physicians and specialists can also form Medical Care panels, online, to be deeply engaged with the patients to maintain long term relationships and facilitate care across the continuum.
The built-in collaboration platform in the solution uses tools such as sms, chat, alerts, reminders, activity workflows and helps in reducing cost by avoiding treatment overlaps, multiple clinical tests or hospitalization. The solution's compatibility with devices such as Smartphones, Tablet PCs and integration with remote patient monitoring devices ensure access to patient medical records at the point of care, for proactive and preventive care delivery. Wipro's solution provides performance analytics to help in developing an outcome driven and quality focused healthcare culture.
With the Obama Care act expanding healthcare coverage to an additional 32 million Americans, healthcare payers (insurance companies) and providers have to manage a huge influx of new members - an 81% growth, into the system. As a result, the payers and providers will need to go through a major IT transformation, through annual IT investments worth USD 3-5 billion, to handle this massive change and in order to provide high quality, affordable healthcare.
According to Vikash Jain, Partner, Everest Group, an independent advisory and research firm on global services, "An integrated solution for care management addresses a key need of the players who are trying to proactively and aggressively address the ‘cost of care' issue. In addition the cloud based proposition is very compelling given the advantages of rapid and low cost deployment, pay as you go models. This solution combines a key business need of the Payers and with the emerging next generation models that clients are looking for and should create significant interest."
Mohd Haque, Vice President, Healthcare Vertical, Wipro Technologies said "The burgeoning concept of patient centric care management is encouraging healthcare organizations to adapt innovations in managing chronic diseases, treating remotely, helping people to live longer. Wipro's solution is capable of transforming the current reactive, episodic, fragmented care delivery system into a foundation of partnership between payer, provider and patient to co-manage, monitor and measure delivery of care. Wipro is heavily investing in patient centric solutions, remote healthcare and ACO (Accountable Care Organizations) platforms that provide technology solutions for creating next generation care management."
Wipro has a comprehensive presence in the Healthcare Industry across payers, providers, healthcare distribution, healthcare services, e-health and government-funded programs.
