Mumbai, 17 March 2025: Amazon’s free streaming platform, Amazon MX Player, brings back the dark and riveting world of Ek Badnaam Aashram with Season 3 Part 2, where faith is a facade, and power is the ultimate currency. As Bobby Deol’s enigmatic Baba Nirala loses his grip on the Aashram, the battle for control intensifies, pushing every character to their limits. Among them is Babita, a woman who has navigated manipulation, betrayal, and her own awakening – brought to life by Tridha Choudhury. The series also features a powerhouse ensemble cast, including Vikram Kochhar, Aaditi Pohankar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Darshan Kumar, Anupriya Goenka, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Esha Gupta, each playing crucial roles in this intense narrative.

Reflecting on her experience working with Director Prakash Jha, Tridha Choudhury shares, “Working with Prakash sir was nothing less than a turning point in my career. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the finest directors in our industry, but working with sir has been an absolute delight. I learnt a lot about voice modulation, projection, and, most importantly, how to live a character and not mechanically deliver lines from him. It’s often said that an actor must get into the skin of the character, but with Prakash ji, it felt effortless. He once told me, ‘It’s a director’s job to direct and an actor’s job to act. I won’t tell you how to act Tridha, just go and play.’ That trust, that creative freedom, made all the difference.”

She further reveals how Aashram shaped her as an actor, highlighting, “This project was way beyond than just a performance, it was a learning experience and the director’s vision and the incredible ensemble cast made a world of difference. There were moments – in emotionally charged scenes – where I didn’t have to think about delivering lines, it was all about reacting and feeling the moment. I remember working with Aaditi in some of the most intense sequences, and we would just look at each other and instinctively know how to respond. That experience changed me as an actor. I had the space to truly explore my character’s arc. That, combined with such a well- written script and role, gave me the feeling that audiences started taking me more seriously. When you’re given a role that challenges you, it naturally elevates your graph, and Aashram did exactly that for me.”

INDIA, March 17, 2025 – Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today announced its SwiftDecoder barcode-decoding software will be integrated into Corvus Robotics’ self-flying inventory drones. This pioneering solution will be used within warehouses and distribution centers (DCs) to make the process of tracking rapidly changing inventory quicker and more accurate for retailers, distributors, and manufacturers at the case- and pallet level.

Honeywell’s creation of supply chain solutions that can automate processes for greater accuracy and more efficient use of scarce labor resources supports its alignment of its portfolio with several compelling megatrends including automation.

“We selected Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software for our cutting-edge drones due to the company’s long-standing expertise in the warehousing sector and the software’s ability to efficiently and reliably acquire data, even in complex and fast-moving DC environments,” said Jackie Wu, CEO at Corvus Robotics. “With Honeywell’s software and our in-house proprietary case counting AI technology, we can quickly decode many cases in one location, all at once. Together, Corvus Robotics and Honeywell are empowering warehouses and distribution centers to better manage inventory, reduce operational expenses and streamline the overall flow of goods throughout the supply chain.”

The Corvus One™ Autonomous Inventory Management System, equipped with SwiftDecoder software, is able to fly through DCs to conduct inventory audits. It can accomplish this task more quickly than a human could in vast warehouse spaces that often have very high shelves, hard-to-reach racks or products and low-light conditions that can make traditional scanning a challenge. By using computer vision to navigate, scan, map and count inventory in real time, the drones are able to operate without GPS, human operators, Wi-Fi or wireless beacons. This system not only helps ensure warehouses have an accurate picture of inventory, but it also enables companies to deploy limited labor resources in other ways that add greater value to the business.

“As the labor shortage continues to plague the supply chain, we know that companies are looking for solutions to supplement their human workforce,” said David Barker, president of Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. “By automating inventory counting and providing real-time data, the Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution will help retailers keep up with growing demand and complexity, reduce inventory discrepancies and errors and improve overall supply chain performance.”

Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software can batch scan to capture many barcodes at the same time, making it optimal for integrating with autonomous drones for rapid inventory counting. This capability, coupled with Corvus One’s proprietary onboard sensors and cameras, equips the Corvus One Autonomous Inventory Management System with the ability to count the number of individual cartons in a single location. The real-time data that is captured and processed with the combined Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution allows for immediate insights into stock levels and case counts, which helps businesses make informed decisions quickly, respond proactively to any supply chain disruptions and maintain operational continuity.
