What is Oktoberfest? 

The Oktoberfest is a festival of celebration held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany starting 16 days prior to the first Sunday of October and is one of the most famous events in the calendar of Germany. It is world's largest fair with some six million people attending every year to be a part of Bavarian culture.

What is special about Oktoberfest’19- The Greatest Brew Fest in the World happening at THE Park Visakhapatnam?

Oktoberfest’19 - The Greatest Brew Fest in the World at Aqua will showcase the traditions of over 200 years of Bavarian hospitality, with elements matching the experience revelers have at Munich in Germany. From the moment on Saturday, the 23^rd September, when we declared “O Zapft is” which means that the “keg has been tapped”, there is a constant flow of happiness, joy, music, laughter and of course the good times that go hand in hand with a Stein of beer! The tastefully decorated venue will throw glimpses of the ambience of Munich, starting with the arch at the entrance where every guest will be welcomed by a pretty Fraulein dressed in a traditional Dirndl costume to the themed banners & the “photo-op” fun cut outs. Once settled in comfortably, guests can enjoy a variety of beers, beverages and dine on authentic Bavarian delicacies including the aptly named “The WÜRST bang-up - Grilled German Sausage assortment, Wiener Schnitzel- Crumb fried veal fillets or Huhn Jägerschnitzel our hunter style chicken fillets, with mushroom sauce. Vegetarians can opt for a classic Rahmschwammerl mit Semmelknödel - Rustic Bavarian Bread dumplings in a creamy wild mushroom sauce or perhaps the Zwiebelkuchen- Munich style onion cake, all of these gourmet specialties will be accompanied with traditional sides like Kartoffelpuree, Blaukraut and Sauerkraut. For those with sweet cravings there is the Prinzregententorte - A Bavarian cake consisting of six thin layers of sponge cake interlaid with chocolate buttercream, with a dark chocolate glaze or the Apfelstrudel - Pastry enrobed apple & cinnamon crumble, yet another dessert choice will be the popular Schwarzwalder Torte – the all-time favourite black forest gateaux. 

What are the dates and venue? 

THE Park Visakhapatnam will host the festivities between 23^rd September till 31^st October 2019 for all of Vizag’s guzzlers & gourmands while they enjoy live bands playing awesome music as well as more foot tapping sounds from around the world, dancing and singing the hours away. 

Monday, September 23^rd, onwards! Call Sujit @ 9032460392 for restaurant table reservations.

Aadhar Housing Finance inducting ‘Aadhar Mitras’ across India to build last mile connect

Mumbai, 01 October 2019: Aadhar Housing Finance's distribution innovation, 'Aadhar Mitra', referral associates being the last-mile link to connect affordable home buyers and to bridge the financial inclusion gap between developed urban India and under-developed rural India per se, is receiving great response from the ground level. The low-cost, high impact distribution model, which has already won industry accolades, now has 6000+ 'Aadhar Mitras' who are unemployed or self-employed local youth with or without any knowledge of home Loan/financial industry. These 'Aadhar Mitras' will not only market the company's home finance offerings but also will be one point contact for the local low-income or economically backward customers.

The company has done massive orientation drives across India in September to train and reconnect with these referral associates which included role-play based workshops, product and process training, sensitisation to the low-income segment and the role of Aadhar Mitras. Speaking on the initiative, Deo Shankar Tripathi, MD & CEO of Aadhar Housing Finance said, "Aadhar Mitra is not only a unique distribution model but also a sustainable social and economic upliftment model which is a win-win for each stakeholder. The company gets to reach the remote locations economically without opening a physical branch; it promotes financial inclusion and access to organised home finance for the rural & sub-urban low-income homebuyers, the local unemployed or self-employed youth also gets to enhance their income through successful referrals. This supports the government's mission of 'Housing for all by 2020' in every possible way.

The company expects 20% of its business in the FY 2019-20 to be sourced by Aadhar Mitras. They will also have access to digital technology platforms to stay connected with the company and customers.

GoAir successfully tests TaxiBot – plans afoot to deploy them across major airports

India, 01 October 2019: GoAir, India’s fastest growing airline, has successfully tested TaxiBot - a semi-robotic pilot-operated tow vehicle - at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi. Thus GoAir has joined the global league of airlines that are planning to use TaxiBots to reduce fuel combustion as well as noise pollution. Rather than the conventional system where the GoAir pilot switches on the engine to take the plane from parking bay to the runway, in future, the pilots will use TaxiBots to transport GoAir aircraft to the runway without switching the engine on. Besides, TaxiBots will also ensure faster turnaround and result in better on-time-performance.

Mr. Jeh Wadia, Managing Director, GoAir, said: “GoAir has always been at the forefront of using technology for the benefit of passengers, environment and the airline’s business. In 2016, GoAir doubled its order for Airbus A320neo (new engine option) to 144 – these aircraft offer approximately 20% better fuel efficiency. Now, it is the time for TaxiBots – GoAir plans to deploy TaxiBots at all the major airports within the next few quarters.”

GoAir currently operates 325+ daily flights and carried around 13.91 lakh passengers in the month of August 2019. GoAir flies to 24 domestic destinations including Ahmedabad, Bagdogra, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Jammu, Kochi, Kolkata, Kannur, Leh, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Port Blair, Pune, Ranchi and Srinagar.
