Mana Hotels Announces the Opening of a 4 BHK Pool Villa in Udaipur

Ranakpur, India, November 603, 2023 , Mana Hotels has recently started operations at a pool villa in Udaipur under the homestay or holiday rental model. The tastefully designed opulent 4BHK villa is nestled near the serene Badi Lake and the picturesque Fateh Sagar Lakes of Udaipur. Given the importance of Udaipur in the tourism market of Rajasthan, this is a big step for 10-year-old Mana Hotels.

Unlike the mature hotel & resort market in Udaipur, the holiday rental segment is still evolving. Globally, this segment thrives in areas wherein the guest is offered a unique experience rather than the cookie-cutter approach of large hotels. Mana Villa in Udaipur will offer its guests privacy & exclusivity thereby differentiating itself from the competition.

With the opening of the Udaipur Pool Villa, Mana Hotels now has 3 properties with the other 2 in Ranakpur & Rishikesh. While the one in Ranakpur is a 49-room luxury resort, the homestay in Rishikesh is a 3BHK apartment with views of the Ganga River. This expansion has come at a rather delayed pace given that Mana Hotels in Ranakpur was launched in November of 2011.

“Mana Villa is located in an exceptional part of Udaipur in close proximity to Badi & Fatehsagar lakes. The guests will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains from all parts of the Villa while nestled in a tranquil part of the city of lakes,” said Rohan Rajgarhia, CEO of Mana Hotels.

What truly distinguishes the Udaipur Villa is its blend of privacy and luxury. The villa boasts a private pool, an expansive garden, and a range of entertaining games, ensuring guests have ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation. With a fully-equipped private kitchen and indoor-outdoor dining areas, guests can savor delicious meals in the privacy of their villa, enjoying a personalized dining experience.

“The Udaipur Villa is ideal for discerning travelers seeking a serene and exclusive escape. It caters to families, groups of friends, honeymooners, and anyone who values privacy, comfort, and the charm of Udaipur. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a special celebration, the villa offers an idyllic setting for creating cherished memories,” shared Mr. Ajay Seth, Marketing & HR, Mana Hotels.

Hyderabad, November 06, 2023: Object Technology Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. (OTSI), an
established global IT services company has designed and developed UPAg (Unified Portal

empowering stakeholders with real-time, reliable, standardized information for more
efficient agricultural policies.

“We are happy to associate with the Ministry of Agriculture in this ground-breaking
initiative, which addresses complex governance issues in the farming sector. UPAg portal
will enhance data accuracy and improve digital data governance in agriculture. It will grant
users access to real-time, reliable, and standardized information, and this objective data is
expected to pave the way for more responsive and efficient agricultural policies,” said
Chandra Talluri, Chief Executive Officer of OTSI.

Presently, agricultural data in India is scattered across various sources, often presented in
diverse formats and units. The UPAg portal aims to rectify this by consolidating data into a
standardized format, ensuring easy access and comprehension for users. It will amalgamate
real-time information on prices, production, area, yield, and trade from diverse sources,
offering a holistic assessment of agricultural commodities.
Key Features of the UPAg Portal Include:
 The portal has an automated process of generating crop production estimates by
triangulating the data from various sources such as IEG, Crop Weather Watch Group,
MNCFC, State Government Data, etc. Policymakers use these estimates and other
stakeholders to make informed decisions.
 Data hosted on the UPAg portal helps to gain deeper insights into agricultural
trends and resource utilization.

 Data sharing between UPAg and State Governments allows for the generation of
more granular level estimates of crop production, which can be used to inform local
decision-making.
 Primary data related to crop area, production, and yield, and secondary data like
prices, market arrivals etc, are collected. Collection and curation of secondary
datasets from sources such as government agencies, private organizations, and
research institutions improve the accuracy and timeliness of crop production
estimates and enable a better understanding of market dynamics.
In summary, the UPAg portal serves as a comprehensive and reliable source of data and
analytics that can significantly improve decision-making and outcomes in the agricultural
sector.

Reckitt launches Gaviscon Double Action in Telangana to help ease acidity and heartburn

Hyderabad, November 05, 2023: Reckitt, a global leader in consumer health, hygiene, and nutrition, under its brand Gaviscon, today launched Gaviscon Double Action in Telangana, offering consumers a solution to symptomatic reflux. In a world where fast-paced lifestyles, changing food habits, and mounting stress levels have become the norm symptoms of reflux becoming bothersome. The burden of this condition is felt not only globally but in India as well. Gaviscon Double Action is formulated and crafted specially to cater to the needs of Indian consumers as the nation observes a high prevalence of symptomatic reflux.

In India, the prevalence of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) ranges from 7.6% to 30%, with most cases below 10%. Reflux is the backward movement of acid or stomach contents back into the food pipe, and it causes symptoms such as burning in the chest, stomach discomfort sour taste bad breath, etc. While antacids can manage acidity, they are unable to target the cause of reflux.

Shedding light on the rising problem of reflux, Professor Dr. Peter Kahrilas (Gilbert H. Marquardt, Professor of Medicine), Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine said, “It’s crucial for individuals to recognize the symptoms such as burning sensation in stomach/chest, discomfort, and a sour taste or regurgitation as signs of reflux. Managing reflux effectively is a two-fold approach – alleviating the acid contributing to the symptoms and establishing a physical barrier to suppress the reflux of stomach contents. Understanding the full spectrum of symptomatic reflux and employing relevant management strategies can significantly enhance patient care.”

Commenting on the issue, Professor Dr. APS Hungin, Emeritus Professor at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University said, “One of the most discomforting aspects about reflux is that it can cause heartburn when the reflux travels back upwards through the esophagus. This burning sensation and pain can last up to several hours if not treated with an immediate reliever. The stomach pain and discomfort associated with it can also be quite debilitating for a brief time, and cause disruption to a person’s daily routine and productivity. The need for solutions that can manage the dual problem is effectively met by Sodium alginate-based products. They help in creating a physical barrier that reduces the stomach contents from rising back up, and simultaneously neutralizes acid via the antacid.”

Coming from the house of Reckitt, the new Gaviscon Double Action solution is set to be a highly effective solution for reflux sufferers. It has a raft action to stop reflux and also offers an antacid action. This product is safe even for pregnant women to manage their reflux symptoms as the product is not absorbed into the body. Gaviscon is one of the leading alginate antacid brands internationally, and among the foremost such products in the country that has been trusted by medical practitioners for over a decade now.

Commenting on the launch, Edward Thomas, Global Medical Marketing Manager, GI and Manav Sohal, Brand Manager, Reckitt India (Strepsils and Gaviscon) said, “We have built a good reputation in the market based on high-quality Gaviscon products that have been prescribed by doctors globally for over 40 years now. Gaviscon Double Action is our latest addition in the range of solutions that we have introduced to India. The launch symposia held today is going to be invaluable in terms of knowledge dissemination related to the problem of reflux and on improving patient care in India.”

The management of reflux depends on symptom frequency and severity, guided by the physician’s recommendation. Lifestyle changes like frequent small meals, avoiding overtly spicy/fatty foods, staying upright after meals, reducing stress, and refraining from smoking/alcohol are advised. Cutting down on carbonated drinks, tea, coffee, and chocolate is recommended, as is avoiding tight clothes. Overweight individuals are encouraged to shed weight and exercise regularly. For persistent symptoms, short-term antacid use alongside reinforced lifestyle changes is recommended.
