The annual Counsellors Retreat brought together counsellors from the most prestigious schools across the country. Over a hundred counsellors visited the ISH campus, engaged with students, and experienced ISH through exciting workshops. They interacted with the faculty and listened to our founders, facilitators and admissions team share their vision for the future of education.
The two-day event saw counsellors indulge in an exquisite meal during the gala dinner and participate in a few workshops on campus. The event allowed them to explore life as an undergraduate student and learn more about the global pathways offered in alliance with Les Roches Switzerland and École Ducasse France. The counsellors even attended a panel discussion between the alumna of the institutes and discovered their journey after graduating.
Sharing her experience on campus, counsellor Theresa Joseph of Nahar International School feels that, “Contrary to popular opinion, most students don’t want to transfer abroad right after school. At 17 or 18, they want to stay close to home and continue studying in India, yet receive a global standard of education. The articulation options available at ISH offer just that! Now students can complete a portion of their programme in the country, gain the skills and confidence they need, and ultimately move to Switzerland, Spain or Paris for the rest of their education.”
Talking about the initiative, Mr Dilip Puri, Founder & CEO of Indian School of Hospitality, says, “It’s been an exciting year on campus as we welcomed our largest batch of students and bid farewell to the first set of undergraduates. At ISH, we strive to offer exceptional education and add to society by instilling a spirit of service in each student.
The retreat allows more counsellors to discover hospitality education at its finest and return to their students with a fresh perspective on the industry and the opportunity it offers.”
At the same time, Mr Kunal Vasudeva, Co-Founder and COO of Indian School of Hospitality, says, “It was a pleasure to host over a hundred counsellors at the 5th annual counsellors retreat at ISH. While we saw many familiar faces, we were especially pleased
to see counsellors from new schools visit our campus for the first time. We are honoured to be recognised as a reference school for hospitality business management and culinary arts. Counsellors, in our opinion, are the most significant link between a student’s decision and their exploration, thereby playing an important role in guiding students on their true path.”
Religare Care Foundation, a charitable organisation formed by Religare Enterprises Ltd(REL). along with Sir Ganga Ram Hospital(SGRH) has given a new lease of life to Vinod Gupta, a daily wage worker from Sultanpur who lost one of his arm and legs in a potentially life-threatening and incapacitating accident. The foundation took full charge of rehabilitating Vinod and admitted him to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. There he underwent multiple first of its kind surgeries to restore his mobility in the right arm, to repair his skull and to heal his amputated limbs that developed severe septicaemia. Now recovered, Religare Care Foundation organised a send-off ceremony for Vinod in the presence of Dr Murali Manohar Joshi, Indian Politician & Former National President Bhartiya Janta Party, Padma Shri Yogeshwar Dutt, Indian Wrestler and Olympian, Dr Ajay Swaroop, Chairman Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Dr Rashmi Saluja, Executive Chairperson, Religare Enterprises Ltd and Dr Mahesh Mangal, Senior Consultant, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon, at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on 14th of December, 2022.
Speaking at the ceremony Dr Rashmi Saluja, Executive Chairperson, Religare Enterprises Ltd said “It is a momentous event for the Religare Care Foundation. It has supported the doctors at the hospital in achieving what seemed impossible till a few months ago. Vinod is now walking back home; a feat that was unthinkable when the Foundation admitted him here with severed limbs and a broken spirit. Seeing the smile on Vinod and his family members fills our heart with pride. We, at the Foundation, are determined to see Vinod back on his feet, taking care of his family, and become ‘aatmanirbhar’ to fulfil the dreams of his daughters. We also appreciate the untiring efforts of the doctors and the hospital’s support staff.”
According to Dr Ajay Swaroop, Chairman Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital “Our hospital has always been in the forefront for rehabilitation of weaker section of the society. Mr Vinod Gupta is another example of our hospital putting its best efforts for this Nobel cause. Besides Mr Gupta, our hospital has admitted 9760 patients from economically weaker section of the society and treated them free of cost. An approximate amount of Rs 50 crores has been spent in last one year on various charitable activities of our hospital. Motto of SGRH is to treat all with cutting edge expertise irrespective of cast creed or financial status.”
Dr Mahesh Mangal, Senior Plastic & Cosmetic surgeon, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, who performed the surgery on Vinod, mentioned on the occasion, “It was a challenge to us firstly, in controlling the infections at various places and secondly the reconstruction of his right hand to make it a useful and functional hand. Despite the challenges, we achieved stable stumps and healthy wounds and successfully performed the microvascular surgey over right upper limb which lasted for eight hours. Special credit to Dr Rashmi Saluja and The Religare Foundation, they whole-heartedly supported us in our endeavours. Dr Saluja personally took this upon her to ensure that Vinod’s mobility is restored and place him in a position where he can lead a normal life. I Would also like to thank my team who have relentlessly worked towards rehabilitating Vinod”.
Yogeshwar Dutt, the Padma Shri awarded ace wrestler and REL’s brand ambassador, praised the Foundation’s timely intervention, “Under Dr. Saluja’s guidance, the Foundation has been consistently providing timely and life-saving medical and financial interventions to help people in dire situations. I am proud to be associated with REL and wish the company more success in their endeavour to bring succour to the needy. “
The Religare Care Foundation further facilitated his post-surgical rehabilitation, which will continue after his discharge from the hospital. Vinod will start learning to walk with prosthetic legs and use a prosthetic arm.
Vinod was working as a daily wage worker in Sultanpur, while supporting his six-member family that included his elderly parents, wife, and two young daughters. While working at a factory one day, he received severe burn injuries due to high-voltage electrocution. As a result, doctors had to amputate both his legs and one arm. The other arm was also badly injured and almost rendered non-functional as it was left with only two fingers and a thumb. A significant portion of his skull was also damaged. Following elementary care after the amputation, he was subsequently discharged from the hospital. However, this was just the beginning of his ordeal. Severe septicaemia developed in his amputated limbs, causing excruciating pain. It was a life-threatening condition.

Hormone replacement should never be based on guesswork or one-size-fits-all dosages. Imprecise dosing may provide short-term relief of symptoms but does not achieve long term or sustainable hormonal balance that everyone needs for healthy aging. Bio-identical hormones have been extensively researched and studied since 1939 for use as a natural alternative for hormone replacement therapy.
DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, has hosted its annual Dialog Day on December 15th. Aiming to enhance its concepts “Green” and “Peace of Mind” to realize what the company calls a “well-being cycle society,” DENSO has announced its sustainability management strategy that contributes to a sustainable society, its corporate value improvement strategy to strengthen the corporate foundation which supports the creation of values, and “The Five Flows,” which is DENSO’s unique approach to the “2035 Vision.”
“Over the past 10 years, DENSO has allocated a total of approximately 8 trillion yen in research and development and capital expenditures for future investments. DENSO has also been investing in human resources, which can be seen through the large increase of employees worldwide, from 130,000 to 170,000. As a result, the company expects to reach a new record in sales and operating income. On the other hand, as global environmental issues, food shortages, and resource shortages become more serious, we often ask ourselves, “what more can we do to contribute to people’s well-being?” said Koji Arima, President, and CEO of DENSO Corporation. “To date, DENSO has been striving to create a ‘cycle of well-being’ by growing and developing together with everyone in the automotive industry. As part of our efforts to expand this cycle of well-being from mobility to broader society, we have focused on “The Five Flows,” which are: Free Movement of People, Flow of Goods, Energy Utilization, Minimization of Resource Requirements, and Flow of Data. DENSO will work to realize a “well-being cycle society” in which happiness can circulate more widely by interconnecting and integrally controlling “The Five Flows.” Furthermore, DENSO will make future investments of 10 trillion yen over the next 10 years. As top management, I will seek partners who share our ‘2035 Vision’ while enhancing our ability to achieve it.”
Technological Developments towards the World in 2035
To realize a recycling-oriented society that never stops social activities and responds to diverse values and well-being, DENSO will work on “The Five Flows.”
Initiatives for the Free Movement of People and the Flow of Goods for Safe and Valuable Mobility
– Free Movement of People Aiming to eliminate fatalities from traffic accidents, DENSO will expand the scope of support to include everyday driving. DENSO has developed algorithms that support safe driving by integrating not only the vehicle’s surroundings, but also the driver’s condition, skills, and driving tendencies. This will realize a higher level of safety. In addition, to realize mobility that responds to diverse values, DENSO will develop an electronic platform that updates vehicle functions following the values sought by individuals.
– Flow of Goods To solve social issues such as driver shortages and increased cargo volumes, DENSO intends to realize a logistics system that combines automated driving and advanced operating systems. The advanced operating system will embark on efforts to eliminate long-hour operations and empty cargo on return trips in trunk routes, and eventually utilize quantum computing to optimize teams, goods, and time in logistics as a whole.
Initiatives for Energy Utilization and Minimization of Resource Requirements for Eco-Friendly Monozukuri
– Energy Utilization DENSO will build an energy circulation system that combines various types of energy such as electricity, hydrogen, and fuels, aiming to realize carbon neutrality in monozukuri, or the art of making things. In addition, DENSO has started demonstrating this system at its factory and will expand it to other industries and regions.
– Minimization of Resource Requirements To sustainably manufacture products with limited resources and minimize environmental impacts, DENSO will build an ecosystem for car manufacturing in which car resources are recycled in cooperation with various partners and industries, enabling the collection of discarded products and their reintroduction as recycled products. DENSO will progress with the development of new disassembly methods and materials to achieve low-cost, high-efficiency recycling.
Initiatives to Join Flows Together to Maximize Value
– Flow of Data We will build a standard data platform that connects supply chains with data and apply it to battery traceability systems for electric vehicles. DENSO will also provide new values by connecting all data generated from “The Five Flows” in the lifecycle of mobility. Furthermore, DENSO will realize a world where new cars are reborn from old cars.
– Strategies for Enhancing Corporate Value Through the initiatives of Green and Peace of Mind, DENSO will promote sustainability management that leads to solutions to social issues, and work on financial strategies to improve Return on Equity (ROE) to achieve business growth.
Promoting Sustainability Management
– The Progress of Green and Peace of Mind Strategies DENSO is making steady progress in efforts to maximize the values of Green and Peace of Mind. In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, DENSO has achieved sales of 550 billion yen in the electrification field, and has been improving the cumulative number of inverters produced, and is working to develop technologies to recycle and repurpose CO2. In addition, sales in the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) field have reached 320 billion yen, and the introduction of thermal management systems for battery EVs is progressing, accelerating the safety strategy to deliver peace of mind to society.
– Strengthening the Corporate Foundation DENSO has established various sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs) corresponding to materiality. In addition to establishing KPIs for a thriving, diverse workforce such as the ratio of female managers and the ratio of local human resources among the heads of overseas bases, we have introduced some of these KPIs into the evaluation of executive compensation.
Financial Strategies to Improve ROE
– Growth Strategies that Balance Both Philosophy and Profitability DENSO will further accelerate the transformation of its business portfolio to eliminate CO2 emissions and eliminate traffic fatalities and increase profitability. While promoting convergence in products for internal combustion engines, DENSO will expand CASE areas and new businesses, aiming for sales of 7 trillion yen in growth areas in 2035. In the electrification sector, DENSO aims to achieve annual production of 19 million inverters in 2030, which will also contribute to the expansion of battery EVs. In addition, for semiconductors that support electrification and ADAS, DENSO will strengthen in-house development and strategic collaboration with competitive partners. Over the next 3 years, DENSO aims to invest 250 billion yen in the semiconductor field.
– Resource Strategies DENSO will shift its resources to CASE areas, including semiconductors while reducing capital expenditures mainly in mechanical and hardware for products of internal combustion engines. DENSO will also focus on software development, targeting a research and development expenditure of 450 billion yen and a capital expenditure of 350 billion yen by 2025.
– Improvement of Capital Structure and Shareholder Return Policy With a target of a shareholders’ equity ratio of 50% or more, DENSO will improve its capital structure to achieve both efficiency and safety and improve ROE. In 2021, DENSO has raised its dividend standard to a dividend on equity (DOE) of 3.1%, and will continue to improve the level of dividends in a stable manner over the long term with an awareness of the cost of shareholders’ equity.
