From Star Managers To Star Providers – Story Of StarClinch.

– How this solution-oriented startup set its foot in the most unorganized, unstructured industry in an attempt to streamline the infamous ecosystem.

Entrepreneurs are natural at thinking up solutions to problems people face. They have a vision of correcting a wrong in their environment and end up creating something exceptional and offering succor to everyone around them. Similar is the story of Mr. Varun Agrawal, founder, and CEO – StarClinch aka disruptor of the entertainment industry.

The reputation of the Entertainment and Arts industry has been besmirched brutally due to various reasons openly known to the public and followers of footlights. The showbiz industry seeks to captivate, shock, inspire and amuse audiences of every stripe, in spite of all the attractiveness of this arena, some risk-taking is certainly essential — but this industry is likely among the most difficult to manage.

The challenges and risks associated – some already established and some emerging are third-party liability, surety/guarantee of performance deliverance, shortage of talent, digitization, non-standardization, etc.

Today, the global market for art is over 50 billion dollars. It is not standardized, the prices are not transparent, and there is no regulation of the sector as a whole. The aforementioned elements are crucial characteristics of any investment asset. The absence of these qualities leaves the art market open to manipulation. These limitations were unimportant in the past because art was mostly purchased for personal use. An example would be if you purchased a painting because you liked it and put it in your living room where you could enjoy looking at it. However, it wasn’t yet a valuable investment asset. Today, however, things are different; art is more diverse than just paintings, and not all artists focus exclusively on producing them.

To consider the art, entertainment, and recreation industry as an investment asset, rectifying the challenges and risks is an uphill struggle. It requires a great deal of determination, vision, ceaseless efforts, and ardent passion to create a smooth ecosystem out of unorganized industry.

The art, culture, and entertainment domains today include audiovisual, cinema, live performance in all its disciplines, music in all its components, museums, and heritage, visual arts, design, architecture, crafts, video games, books, and press. A wide variety of opportunities is available for the artists to express themselves as well as explore what the market has to offer. However, due to the disorganized and unstructured nature of this arena, artists and clients are unable to connect effectively with each other. To provide a solution for this untapped space in the gig economy, the aim of StarClinch is to act as a trust layer and ensure a transparent, efficient business between parties.

Starting in 2015 from a basement with just 3 people and tremendous zeal in their minds, Varun entered the arts and event industry with a vision to capture the management aspect of it. Cut to 2022 with a workforce of 15 people equivalent to 30 in a co-working space, survived a deadly pandemic and its consequences, and completely digitized its website for easy browsing, shortlisting, and booking of talent, the journey of StarClinch has been no less than a rollercoaster.

Back in 2015, StarClinch was more or less an offline business with a website as a listing platform for artists primarily focussing on Live Bands and Singers. The team physically visited their clients which were mainly restaurants and bars in and around Delhi to provide them with lower-budget artists who performed at the cafes. In the good old days, the website was not used as a gateway for online transactions and was not technically forward.

The team started to analyze the problems and issues they experienced firsthand and decided to shift their gear towards adopting an online model of business and scale their product for a smoother interface for both artist buyers as well as artist providers. In 2018, they upped their game by introducing the “See Price” & “Book Now” options on the website which allowed the clients to initiate payments via the website itself after exploring and ruminating the artists’ profiles.

At present, StarClinch is the first Indian company to be VC funded that works in the entertainment sector and is eyeing to capitalize on the opportunity while addressing unstructured talent discovery, reference checks, and performance assurance. The objective is to act as an umbrella platform for its customers and be a one-stop solution for booking any live artist. It is a product that would help budding entertainers & artists make a presence in the gig economy. They recently have assisted organizations such as Maersk Tankers, Twilio, JTB India, and Meesho to procure artists for their events.

OnePlus Nord 2T With MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, 80W Fast Charge Launched: Check Details.

Although OnePlus no longer releases mid-cycle upgrades of its flagship smartphones, the company’s Nord line of devices continues the pattern. We originally learned in January of this year that OnePlus was planning to release a ‘T’ variation of last year’s OnePlus Nord 2. OnePlus have officially unveiled the OnePlus Nord 2T, and it is exactly what recent rumour predicted. The smartphone has been a hot topic in the rumour mill and on certification platforms, and its official release puts an end to such speculations. Here’s all you need to know about the new Oneplus Nord-:

Specifications:

The Nord 2T has a slim design with dimensions of 159.1mm x 73.2mm x 8.2mm and a weight of 190g. The phone also has a one-of-a-kind rear camera design. The gadget has a 6.43-inch flat AMOLED display panel with an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. A punch hole in the top left corner of the display panel clearly houses the selfie camera. On the right side of the frame are the volume and power keys, with the power button also serving as a fingerprint scanner. It’s worth noting that the Nord 2T lacks a headphone jack and a microSD card slot.

The MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC in the Nord 2T is one of MediaTek’s most recent flagship CPUs. It is, in fact, the first smartphone to use the chipset. The Dimensity 1300 is the successor to the Dimensity 1200 from last year, and it now supports 5G. On some variants, the processor is paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, while storage options include 128GB and 256GB. The Nord 2T is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC rapid charging. OnePlus even throws in an 80W charger in the box. The good news is that the device supports 80W charging, which was previously only accessible with the OnePlus 10R. OnePlus currently only supports 80W fast charging with its 10R smartphone. In India, the identical handset is available for Rs 38,999. The business claims that the included charger will charge the phone to 100% in roughly 30 minutes. From the start, the Nord 2T 5G operates on OxygenOS 12.1 based on Android 12.
The OnePlus Nord 2T has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main sensor with optical image stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera for photography. In the punch hole cut out for selfies and video calls, a 32-megapixel IMX615 sensor is housed.

OnePlus Nord 2T Price and availability:

The OnePlus Nord 2T has a starting price of EUR 369, which converts to about Rs 35,720 in India. The 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option will be available for the same price. There’s also a £469 model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (around Rs 45,400).

Gray Shadow and Jade Fog are the shades available. On May 24, 2022, the handset will be available for purchase on the official OnePlus website and on Amazon.

There is currently no information on when the OnePlus Nord 2T will be available in India. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 and OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite were recently unveiled by the company. As a result, the prospects of the Nord 2T being launched in India are slim. It’s possible that the smartphone will arrive in India under the name Nord 3. We’ll have to wait a while to find out whether the Nord 2T will be available in India.

OnePlus has also released the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and the Nord Buds in the UK and Europe, in addition to the OnePlus Nord 2T. On May 24, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite will also be available for purchase, with a single 6GB+128GB option priced at £279/€299. The Nord Buds, on the other hand, will be available starting May 24 for £49/€49.

Apple revealed a new set of accessibility capabilities on Tuesday that would help individuals with impairments navigate new places and conversations more easily. The new features, which will be available later this year, combining software, hardware, and machine learning. It’s unusual to hear directly from Apple about new features in unreleased iOS releases. These types of announcements are normally saved for a special occasion, such as WWDC 2022. Apple, based in Cupertino, has announced new accessibility capabilities that will be available shortly, most likely with iOS 16. Door recognition and live subtitles for FaceTime, streaming multimedia, and even spoken chats are among Apple’s latest accessibility capabilities.

What’s new:

Live subtitles for videos on iPhones, iPads, and Macs are a huge new feature. People who are deaf or hard of hearing will benefit from this feature. They may use Live Captions on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, making it easier for them to follow any audio content, such as during a phone call or while watching the video. Users can choose the text size, see Live Captions for all FaceTime call participants, and type responses that are spoken aloud. Later this year, English Live Captions will be available in beta for iPhone 11 and later versions, iPad models with the A12 Bionic and later variants, and Macs with Apple hardware. The live captions function simply allows viewers to watch a video with the sound turned off and read along with the text at the bottom of the screen. The capability is compatible with FaceTime calls, streaming services, and other video conferencing apps, according to Apple. If you’re an Android user, Google already has something comparable.

Individuals who are blind or have low vision will be able to use their iPhone or iPad to detect a door when they arrive at a new location, determine how far away they are from it, and describe the door’s properties, such as how it can be opened and any nearby signs or symbols, using Door Detection. Along with People Detection and Image Descriptions, the functionality will be part of a new “Detection Mode” in Magnifier. Only iPhones and iPads with a LiDAR scanner will be able to use Door Detection.

Even signs and symbols around the door, such as room numbers or the accessible entrance logo, are read by the function.

In the meantime, Apple has unveiled a new Apple Watch Mirroring feature. This feature, according to Apple, will allow people with disabilities to control Apple Watch using iPhone’s assistive features such as Voice Control and Switch Control, and use inputs such as voice commands, sound actions, head tracking, or external Made for iPhone switches instead of tapping the Apple Watch display. Apple Watch Mirroring makes use of a combination of hardware and software, including “advanced AirPlay features.”. AirPlay advancements will allow consumers to utilize their iPhones to access Apple Watch apps like Blood Oxygen, Heart Rate, Mindfulness, and more.

Apple Watch users will be able to use a double-pinch motion to answer or end a phone call, dismiss a notification, snap a photo, play or pause media in the New playing apps, and start, pause, or continue a workout using Quick Actions. This year, all of these new accessibility features will be implemented.

Apple will add 20 new languages and locations to voiceover, its screen reader for blind and poor vision customers, including Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Users will also be able to choose from hundreds of new optimized voices across languages, as well as a new Text Checker tool to detect text formatting issues. There will also be sound and haptic feedback for Voiceover users in Apple Maps to find the starting point for walking directions, as well as adjustable response times for Siri, new themes and customization options in Apple Books, and sound and haptic feedback for unique home doorbells and appliances.

The announcement of new accessibility capabilities comes just days before Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2022), which will be held entirely online from June 6 to June 10.

CalAmp – Pioneering A Shift In The Connected Vehicle Sector.

Leave a Comment / Story, Tech Story / By Team YTS

The wireless communications sector is a dynamic business that necessitates ongoing adaptation on the part of producers, marketers, and customers alike. CalAmp has remained at the top of its market for almost 30 years by remaining agile enough to customize apps for clients on the go. CalAmp has established itself as a market leader in the mobile resource management (MRM) and machine-to-machine (M2M) arena. CalAmp connects clients to critical business information and turns it into usable intelligence for people, systems, and machines. CalAmp GPS devices are widely used in a variety of regional markets, including the United States, Canada, and the European Union

About CalAmp

CalAmp is a linked intelligence startup that helps individuals and organizations work more efficiently. They collaborate with the transportation and logistics, industrial equipment, government, and automotive industries to provide data that helps companies make better decisions. Their software, platforms, and smart devices enable them to track, monitor, and recover critical assets in real time, lowering costs, increasing productivity, and increasing safety. They have over 20 million products deployed worldwide and approximately one million software and service subscribers.

The Founding

The company is a provider of Internet of Things software applications, cloud services, data intelligence, and telematics products and services based in Irvine, California. Previously known as California Amplifier Inc., it was created in 1981 in Newbury Park, California, by Jacob Inbar and David Nichols, who met while working at Eaton Corporation’s microwave business. The company started by making microwave signal amplifiers and other equipment for satellite television and broadband communications.

Following a successful first half of the decade, California Amplifier’s financial strength declined in the second part of the decade. As the company experienced downturns in both of its business sectors, the revenue total recorded in 1996 became the highest of the decade. In January 1998, California Amplifier restructured its organization, forming three business units: satellite goods, wireless cable products, and voice and data products. In September 1999, the company made more changes when it merged its wireless cable and voice and data units into a single entity called wireless access products.

CalAmp, like many other businesses, has rebounded from the economic slump that began in 2008. Friedlander is pleased with the company’s unrestricted growth as the economy begins to warm.

Perpetual Growth

In an industry where the next technical improvement that alters the game is always on the horizon, companies like CalAmp must stay on top of these developments.

Friedlander recently explained that CalAmp has updated its hardware components for rail and Positive Train Control (PTC) compliance, as well as for FirstNet/B14, a communication server used by first responders across the country. Similarly, the company has improved its SaaS for mobile applications for customers with vehicle loans or fleet management.

Although the hardware is an important part of their services, CalAmp is also a full-service solutions provider, offering not only devices and industry-leading embedded firmware, but also a suite of market-leading software applications and a platform on which their customers may develop.

Jeff Gardner- CEO of CalAmp

Jeff Gardner, CalAmp’s dynamic CEO, has guided the business’s strategic evolution from a telematics device company to a leading software-as-a-service supplier of linked intelligence about vehicles, drivers, assets, and cargo. CalAmp has become the premier partner to market leaders in transportation & logistics, government & municipalities, insurance, and construction under Gardner’s leadership, enabling them to track, monitor, and recover vital assets with real-time visibility and insights—ultimately helping the world work efficiently so that individuals and corporations everywhere can proser.

Gardner was a member of CalAmp’s Board of Directors before becoming CEO, and he previously served as CEO of Brinks Home Security and President and CEO of Windstream. Gardner is known for bringing fast-paced enterprises to industry-leading success as an executive leader. To execute strategy, promote growth, and foster extraordinary, collaborative governance and world-class succession planning, he uses smart analysis, tough operational KPIs, consistent communications, and a passionate team approach.
