November 25: A recent survey of 100 hiring managers conducted by an ed-tech company revealed startling facts about the demand-supply gap in Data Science positions. The managers were almost unanimous that a wide gap existed. While 57% felt that this was at the entry-level, around 27% opined that the gap persisted even at mid-level positions. The biggest gaps were in the areas of Natural Language Processing followed by Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Computer Vision, Analytics and Machine Learning. There are so many companies offering high paying jobs in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science but not enough supply of qualified professionals to fill them.

So how will this gap be addressed? What can be done to increase the supply of skilled professionals to address this talent deficit?

Startups like AnalytixLabs have been observing this gap over the last decade and aiming to bridge it by creating tailored courses in Data Science and analytics that can transform students into skilled professionals. Combined with a placement guarantee program, AnalytixLabs takes its courses to a logical conclusion by ensuring that the students get placed in reputed companies worldwide.

New Delhi (India), November 12: How often do you hear of an everyday automation startup founded and managed by a 12-year-old coding prodigy and a new age entrepreneur? Not every day. And yet such a startup has been formulated by an unconventional duo – Mr Arjit Nanda, a Multi-talented Entrepreneur and Miraan Rai, a 12-year-old coder, who have decided to jump in on the startup bandwagon.

Robotics and home automation is still an untapped arena when it comes to the homegrown market in India. Nonetheless, AM Innomates is here to fill that gap and rule the future of home automation. Their introductory product – AM Dustbin – is a combination of automatic and manual controls to lift the lid of the bin and is the first of its kind in the Indian market.

It was only a year ago that young Miraan Rai (miraanrai.com) visited the TEMZ (thetemz.com) – Arjit Nanda’s other company – office in New Delhi for the first time to strengthen his coding knowledge. During this one year, Arjit and Miraan struck a connect, which resulted in them developing unique automated products, of which the AM Dustbin is the first. This rare combination of 12 and 28 years didn’t find their age gap a barrier to their shared goals of developing products that could be sold in the market to make lives simpler. This led to the configuration of AM Innomates.

AM Dustbin is their first utility-based product in the market. The bin detects motion and opens and closes its lid automatically. “AM Dustbin is a smart experience that enables contact-free waste disposal,” explains Arjit. “We realised that during the Covid period, contact with a waste bin can be dangerous, even if it means just using our legs. AM Dustbin is automated to eliminate this contact.”

The main difference between the other dustbins in the market and the AM Dustbin is that it can be used in dual mode. One can switch off the automatic mode if one wants to, simply with a press of a button. The bin comes with a rechargeable battery which can last up to 60 days on a single charge, depending on the usage. They have tested the efficiency of the product, both in a domestic as well as a corporate environment. Further attributing to the AM Dustbin is the fact that it is made of high-quality stainless steel and is being manufactured by Jindal Stainless, one of the world’s largest and most reputed stainless steel producers.

AM Innomates is endowed with a vision to simplify day-to-day life through its innovative and useful inventions. “We aim to use our vast knowledge of robotics, along with an in-depth understanding of the nuances of daily life, to explore new possibilities and develop practical solutions,” says Miraan excitedly, as the young mind shares his big vision for the company. “We aspire to become India’s – and maybe one day even the world’s – leading provider for everyday robotics-based wonders and make difficult tasks simple with advanced artificial intelligence.”

Chimbel (Goa) [India], October 11: Minimally invasive surgery was introduced as a technique to operate with minor damage to the body than with open surgery. In general, minimally invasive surgery is associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications. It was the first step towards the betterment of patients undergoing a minimally accessible procedure. Over a decade later, Robotic-Assisted Surgery is currently the next step leading to superior patient outcomes.

Madan Sharma, a 25-year-old engineer diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer, had to undergo a Robotic-Assisted procedure. He said, “At first when I was told I needed to undergo a Robotic surgery procedure, I was afraid, but once I learnt that Robotic Surgery is assisted by a surgeon controlling the Surgical Robot at all times, I was at peace. Being an engineer myself, I understood how the Robot could improve accuracy during surgery. I’m grateful to the surgeon and his team for opting for this technique as I had very little pain post my surgery and was able to get back to my family in just two days and my job in about 5.”

Professor Dr Subhash Khanna, Chief Medical Director and Head of Department of Minimal Access, G.I and Robotic Surgery from Swagat Super Specialty Surgical Institute, is a Robotic surgeon who leapt from years of experience operating laparoscopically. He says, “I have always been a strong proponent of using minimal access surgery for advanced surgical work. I am proud that our centre is one of the leading surgical robotic centres globally by adopting the CMR Versius Robot as new technology. With the CMR Versius Robot coming as a family member in my operating theatre, I have been able to do further advanced work with greater accuracy and efficiency. Versius allows us to see in close detail through a 3D image and gives us maximum surgical precision. The system brings the most value when the procedure would otherwise be open. The Robot also helps in reducing my fatigue. I can work the controls while sitting at a console instead of standing over the patient for hours. The introduction of Versius has transformed my attitudes towards complex procedures, which have started looking much simpler now. This technology, if safely and effectively applied, can make medical care more successful.” Since the adoption of the Versius Robot, Prof Dr. Subhash Khanna has conducted more than 200 surgeries in 2021.

Dr. J.S. Rajkumar, one of the pioneers in Robotic surgery with an experience of more than 30,000 surgeries, said, “The Versius Robot is the newest in technology that offers a very different feel and a whole new level of experience. When we installed the system in our hospital, I didn’t think it would be so simple, but the portability of Versius had us in awe. The Robot was just wheeled right in and set up with ease. It’s the most ergonomic Robot in the market currently, and it’s beautiful to see the Robotic Arms operate independently. The Versius Robot is taking the world by storm, not just the country. After performing several cases, I have experienced the benefits of Versius for the surgeon first-hand and how it has impacted the patients as well. We’ve had patients been operated on and get back to their regular lives in 2-3 days. It’s honestly incredible to see such a great advancement in this segment. It is certainly transforming surgery one patient at a time.”

The adoption of Versius by some of the top surgeons of the country offering Robotic-Assisted surgery to patients across the globe with lesser pain, faster recovery and an overall, better patient quality of life is what is allowing CMR Surgical’s Versius to achieve its goal of making Robotic-Assisted Surgery more accessible to the world.
