Abha ya Albeli?

Abha ya Albeli?

Suhasi Dhami, who’s character “Abha” in Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kehli became a house hold name, will be seen in a new avtaar on the show. Suhasi is all set to play a Rajasthani girl named “Albeli”. With the way the show’s story is developing, Albeli is going to be an integral part of the show. Suhasi expresses her immense joy of getting to do a variation and says, “I am feeling the same jitters as one does when starting a new project. Abha was so much into my system that it had become a routine for me. I would behave like Abha sometimes in my personal life too. And with Albeli’s charachter, its like your brain has started working again. So to get “Abha”out of my system and to take in a new character is challenging. I thank Rajshri and Zee team to give me this opportunity. ” Albeli’s character is that of a Rajasthani dancer, a rural woman with a typical style of talking. Suhasi says, “I am trying to learn Marwari. its not an easy language. Usually when we speak in Hindi or English, its easy to twist the language a little and still maintain the meaning. But now thats not possible.” Suhasi is all geared up to play her new charachter with perfection for which she experimented with different looks with the creative team of the show before freezing on the look. Hopefully Albeli’s charachter will also win the audience’s heart as Abha did. Watch Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli at 8:30 pm on Zee T.V.

Godrej Security Solutions and Godrej Interio together address their customers’ needs in Gwalior

Godrej Security Solutions and Godrej Interio together address their customers’ needs in Gwalior

Gwalior: Godrej Security Solutions (GSS), safe-keepers to the nation for over a century, today addressed the most important need of their customers, Security. The event was held jointly with Godrej Interio, India’s largest furniture brand and also a business unit of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd.
With the rise in the number of burglary attempts as well as the techniques being used by the criminals of today, it is of utmost importance to constantly stay one step ahead and to ensure that the levels of security being used incorporate the latest technology.
All of us are concerned about our security and the security of our customers’ assets; however, we very often tend to forget the need to improve our security measures; an attack is quickly forgotten in our minds and while we believe there is a need to change, this change does not take place until it is too late.
The reality is that many public and private institutions are still using outdated security equipment that are playing the roles of passive protectors and may not be able to sense impending danger. Therefore, unless these institutions upgrade their security solutions to modern platforms, break-ins to places you believed were safe may continue.
What we need to realize is that, the best way to fight a threat is to prevent it in the first place. GSS understands this need and therefore constantly invests in Research & Development to help its customers safeguard their assets against the most advanced threats. GSS’s latest range of products employs futuristic technology and draw inspiration from a century of leadership experience as “India’s most trusted name in Security”.
Speaking about the event Mr. Dara E. Byramjee, Vice President & Business Head, Godrej Security Solutions, said, “The lifetime assets of many people are at risk because the safes or vaults in many banks and institutions conform to earlier generation designs and technology which now need to be upgraded to solutions incorporating modern and futuristic technologies. GSS has a strong research & development team that continues to build innovative products that can scan, withstand stronger physical attack and employ intelligent systems to identify any unwanted occurrences. The GSS range of products offer a long term cost effective investment.”
Keeping in mind this needs of its customers, GSS offers complete security solutions to its customers. Its newest range of ultramodern safes, the Defender Z+ range, employ the latest in technology to ensure that your assets are safe. These safes are far more advanced than any other safes in the same category since they can “See, Sense and Secure” in a manner never seen before. These safes have various features such as Intellisense and eye-fi which prevent unauthorized usage, misuse through duplication of key and a CCTV for secret monitoring and recording. It also gives an alarm in the form of a soft jingle in case the safe is open and is both torch and tool resistant. The company’s product range also includes a wide range of products such as Burglar and fire-resistant safes, strong room doors, safe deposit lockers, data safes, electronic coffers, fire and burglar alarm systems, XBIS (Baggage Scanners), HHMDs (Hand Held Metal Detectors) and IP CCTVs.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Percy Master, Regional Manager, Sales, West, Godrej Security Solutions, said, “We believe that it is important to keep our most important customers, the Banks and PSUs, up to date with the latest in security equipments. It is our responsibility towards our customers to ensure that their assets are kept as safe as possible. We’ve been keeping customer assets safe for generations, and are committed to doing so going forward by embedding the latest technology in our wide range of security products.”
The meet was attended by a number of the state’s biggest bankers, industrialists and government officials. Also in attendance was Mr. Freddy Khopoliwala, AVP & Regional Manager – Sales, West, Godrej Interio, who addressed his key customers in the region.
Business Plans in the Forward Mode:
Madhya Pradesh is a very important and upcoming market for GSS where it already enjoys a 70% market share in the banking segment. The focus is on market expansion in Banking, Non-Banking institutions, PSUs for GSS. Godrej Security Solutions’ strategy is based on 3 pillars – providing comprehensive solutions rather than products, market expansion by increasing the distribution network and product expansion by continuous innovation.
