The founder and the chairman of the well-known sportswear company Under Armour, Kevin Plank is a prominent American billionaire businessman and philanthropist. His business which manufactures sportswear, footwear and accessories and based in Baltimore, Maryland had sales of almost 5.7 billion USD in 2021, making it the secondlargest sportswear supplier in the whole United States. As of October 2021, the net worth of Kevin Audette Plank is estimated to be US$1.8 billion.

Personal Life
19 INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL - 3 | ISSUE 9 | AUGUST 2022
Plank has been married to Desiree Guerzon since 2003 and resides in Lutherville, Maryland with their two kids. Forbes estimated his net worth at US$1.8 billion as of February 2021. He was a Georgetown resident of Washington, DC before moving to Lutherville. When he listed his last residence for sale, it was the most expensive property available in Washington, DC.
Also, Plank promised the University of Maryland $25 million in November 2014 to be utilised for the anticipated sporting and academic facility.
Personal Birthday:Stats13th August, 1992, (49 years) Education: B.A, and MBA Source of Wealth: Under Armour Nationality: American Residence: Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland Marital Status: Married Children: 2 How it started Surprisingly, the concept of Under Armour arose from a need of Plank. He was the sweatiest guy on the soccer field, and was looking for an alternative that would keep him comfortable and dry while playing- something that his sweatsoaked cotton shirts couldn’t do. As a result, he began his search for a matching material that would drain sweat from the body and make the player feel lighter and faster. Plank, a former captain of the University of Maryland football team who was then 23 years old, noticed that compression shorts kept dry during practise. He made the decision to use the same material to make clothing that wicks away moisture. He tested at least 7 prototypes before he found the perfect match. He explained to his former teammates how his T-shirt would help and improve their performance greatly on the soccer field and asked them to try his formula. Also, he mailed the T-shirts to his friends and requested them to pass on those T-shirts to other players in the locker room. In this way the popularity of Plank’s T-shirts started increasing.
The Breakthrough Year 1999 brought the breakthrough for Plank and Under Armour when he generated a revenue of $1 million after giving a $25,000 ad in ESPN magazine from direct sales and teams began to buy the apparel The business generated $1 billion in sales in 2010. Under Armour was the first US initial public offering to double on its first day of trading in five years. It went public in November 2005 and trades on NASDAQ. All this resulted in the growth of a multi-milliondollar company with over 5,900 workers and revenues of close to $2BB. Extension In an effort to create a worldwide digital health platform to compete with Google, Apple, and Fitbit, the business paid $475 million in February 2015 to purchase two significant fitness applications, Endomondo and MyFitnessPall. Tim Coppens was hired by Under Armour the following year to serve as executive creative director of a brand-new nonperformance men’s and women’s clothing collection that will debut in 2016. He serves on a number of boards in the US, including those for the National Football Foundation, the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, the Board of Directors of the Baltimore City Fire Foundation, and the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.
He started the company in the basement of his grandmother’s house in Washington, D.C. He sold his product for the first time to Georgia Tech for roughly $17,000. Soon after, 20 NFL clubs also bought from him. He sold $100,000 worth of merchandise at the end of his second year. The product then gained popularity and well-known teams and shops started carrying them. Planks’ own savings and credit card debt provided Under Armour with its initial capital. Plank had made around $20,000 selling t-shirts at concerts while in college. He ultimately racked up five credit card balances totalling roughly $40,000 in debt. He was bankrupt by 1997, the year the firm was founded.
Early Days
Plank was born on August 13, 1972 and raised in Kensington, Maryland, where his mother served as mayor and father as a property developer. Playing football with the Maplewood Maple Leafs at a young age, he had a liking for athletics. After completing his high school education at St. John’s College, he attended the University of Maryland, where he earned a BA and an MA in business administration. Plank was a born entrepreneur. Even before launching Under Armour, he began many enterprises when he was a student at the university. He started many small businesses and used the proceedings to fund his flagship sportswear project at the later stage. Cupid’s valentine was one of them which earned him about $17,000 on Valentine’s Day.
Final Words “Your business needs to be controlled by you, so you must put your hands around its throat. Nothing else will work,” Kevin Plank told the students at the University of Maryland in a speech about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Despite the initial failure, Plank was able to pull off a billion-dollar company for which he gives credit to his network- family, friends and colleagues. This story surely infuses a new life in those entrepreneurs who feel stuck after seeing initial failures in their ventures.

What about decreasing the risk of a heart attack in the future? In this article, we will be sharing some good healthy heart and nutrients foods to prevent heart attack issues. One should remember that all nutrients are equally essential - whether we talk about carbohydrates, protein, or fat.
2. Pomegranate. Peeling pomegranates can be challenging, but despite the challenge of wresting edible nibs from this round red fruit, once you do so, you are in for some incredible benefits for health. Because they are oh-so-nutritious, containing fibre, vitamin c, and Vitamin k. This fruit is also a good source of antioxidants that prevent the cells of your body from damage caused by free radicals and increase haemoglobin levels.
FAT Usually, we think that having fat lead to heart problems. But on the contrary, fat is essential for our body. However, it is necessary to have healthy fat. When we mention healthy fat, meaning look for monosaturated fat, which is usually available in different refinery oils. Besides that, there are hidden sources of monounsaturated fat in your diet, too. One of the best sources of your healthy fat is seeds and nuts.

PROTEIN Protein is pretty important because, besides giving muscle strength, it also provides satiety. However, we need to have lean protein, and one good example of lean protein is Daal (pulses). You can add these foods for more lean protein.
So, do you want to clean blood vessels? Are you ready to improve your overall well-being?
1. Fatty Fish Fatty fish is known as a good source of high-quality protein. They contain essential minerals and vitamins. Vitamin - B2 and D along with Riboflavin help bones to absorb calcium. And minerals - IRON, ZINC, and SELENIUM help us to improve our health and fight against heart disease. This food can also decrease the risk of Arrhythmia and Atherosclerosis.
Good quality carbs in your daily diet are essential. Normally, we consume carbohydrate from roti, rice, pearl millet, and more, which are very healthy as it contains soluble fibers, that can remove the extra cholesterol and fat from the body. To make the carb diet healthier, we can add these foods in our diet.
The heart is the most vital organ of our body. Surprisingly, we take care of it least. Loading it everyday with stress and an unhealthy diet may increase the cholesterol level in our body, which may lead to vascular plaques that impair the heart functioning correctly.
“A heart attack happens when an artery (the blood vessel that distrusted blood and oxygen to the entire body) is blocked. Fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits build up over time, forming plaques in the heart’s arteries. If plaques rupture, a blood clot can form. As a result, it blocks arteries, which causes a heart attack.”

One of the best things about solo travelling is you do exactly what you want. You don’t just stay bound to your group or other person, instead you gel up with other fellow travellers, talk to them and learn about them which gives you a more enriching experience of travelling.
First Solo Trip? Planning Your Here Are Some Useful Tips travel
The solo trips are somewhat challenging but thrilling and ex citing as well. As you are planning to go on a solo trip, here are some tips you must follow to get most of it. Convince your Parents In India solo traveling is still a new concept and Indian Parents will take time to agree with it. Hence, it may be a challenging task to convince them but not impossible. If you share all the minor details of your itinerary and promise that you will stay in touch with them, they would agree. Remember to address their concern rather than refuting them.
Apparently, book your travelling tickets beforehand and if not for the whole trip, book the accommodation for the first day if you are not sure where you would be heading after reaching there. This way, you will get the time to relax and refresh for the trip. Pack only essentials When you are going to an unfamiliar land, it is normal to feel nervous and the task can look daunting. But still, pack half of the clothes you think you will need. As you will be car rying other things, it will become cumbersome while moving around.
Solo Travelling is a unique courageous experience that gives you a chance to leave your comfort zone and face the world on your own without depending on others any more. It empow ers you as an individual and brushes up on your personality.
Make your Bookings in Advance
Points to Remember while Travelling Solo
Make a Budget Your budget for a single trip is mostly influenced by two fac tors: lodging and transportation. When we talk about transpor tation, the price of getting about the particular location—sight seeing, pick-up and drop-off, etc.—should also be considered. You should have a good sense of these costs based on your rough However,plan.accommodation
The general principle is to be selective and choose only the es sentials. For example, if you are going to a place where it rains often, take a windcheater with a hood. It will come handy in case of unexpected rains. Pack just one week’s clothes. Every thing necessary, including laundry is everywhere.
Have a Solo Travel at Home?
If you are too scared with the idea of a solo trip and have never been on one, try a solo trip within your city. Go to a movie alone. Try food in your local restaurant on your own, or visit a museum solo. This way you will understand yourself. In fact, at this point you can finally realise if solo travelling is for you or not.
35 INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL - 3 | ISSUE 9 | AUGUST 2022
• Be in touch at all times! Tell your family where you are and where you are going each day. Inform them that you are fine and enjoying yourself
• Go Easy on the Alcohol: While it’s OK to stop by your neighbourhood pub for a drink to lift your spirits, you should be a little more moderate with your alcohol use. If you are alone, never ever become too drunk
• Although you are travelling alone, that doesn’t mean you have to be on the road or lonely all the time. Make friends but don’t trust anyone. The beauty of solo travel is that you may meet new people, have fun, and share wonderful times with them. However, never blindly trust someone and always use your best judgement
• Last but not the least, never disregard your gut instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, whether it be a person, lo cation, or circumstance, it generally isn’t right. That’s how easy it is. There is also no companion you can rely on more than your own instincts while you are travelling alone.
is the most challenging aspect of all. There are both expensive and inexpensive lodging options in every city and small town. Choose an accommodation which is reasonably priced, secure and has all the amenities needed for a nice stay. Join Groups A good idea of solo travelling is joining a group of fellow trav ellers. There are many online such as Meetup.com, Wander ful (for women only), The Nomadic Network and Facebook groups. You join the group and meet fellow travellers heading for the same destination. Keep extra Cards and Emergency Cash Don’t rely on one card only. Take an extra debit or credit card with you. It can be hard to get them replaced abroad so it will help if they are lost or stolen. Also, in case of emergency, keep some emergency cash with you. Sometimes, you don’t find any ATM nearby or worse, they don’t dispense cash. It is a good idea to keep USD as it is a widely accepted currency around the world.
Don’t Carry Expectations Going with the flow and not cribbing about what you expected is a good way to enjoy. Things never go as planned. Maintain a positive mindset even when things go wrong.
• Whenever feasible, take public transportation when you’re travelling alone rather than calling a cab. You will get more chances to meet new people. It would be safer and more pocket friendly.

1. Lord Mountbatten chose the Independence Date
Independence
3. Tiranga was originally the Swaraj Flag
INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL.-3 | ISSUE 9 | AUGUST 2022 38 Festival
The British parliament had left it up to Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India before its partition, to decide whether to hand over administrative control to Indians in June 1948. To prevent violence and unrest, Mountbatten picked August 15, 1947 as independence date of India. It’s also thought that Lord Mountbatten picked the date to mark the second anniversary of Japan’s surrender to the Allies. India’s Some Interesting Facts Day Might Not Know
India Is One Of The Most Favourite Countries Of The Earthlings. India’s Culture And History Is Full Of Surprises And This Quality Is Appreciated By Most People. India Is Going To Celebrate Her 76Th Independence On This 15Th August 2022 And We Are All Excited About It. On This Occasion, We Brought Some Of The Most Interesting Facts On India’s Independence Day Which You Might Not Be Aware Of.
The original Swaraj Flag served as the model for the tricolour flag. The Swaraj Flag, which was created by independence warrior and farmers from Machilipatnam Pingali Venkayya, served as the inspiration for the tricolour flag that serves as India’s national flag. Swaraj, which translates to “selfgovernance,” is typically connected with Gandhi’s idea of an independent India free from foreign rule. The Swaraj flag featured a spinning wheel in the middle and a similar colour scheme.
11. Governors Hoisted the Flag, not CMs of the States From the day of independence until 1973, the governors of the individual states unfurled the flag. Only from 1974 did the Chief Ministers of the individual states start hoisting the Indian flag.
5. Pakistan celebrates its Independence a Day Before India Another noteworthy fact about the Indian Independence Day is that Pakistan, which celebrates its Independence Day on August 14, the day before India does, is also a significant milestone. This was necessary for Lord Mountbatten, the final Viceroy of India before its partition, to attend both nations’ Independence Day celebrations.
9. The national anthem Vande Matram is a part of a Bengali Novel Bankim Chandra Chatterjee composed the national anthem “Vande Mataram” which was a part of his 1880s book Anandamath. Rabindranath Tagore originally sang this song in 1896. On January 24, 1950, Vande Mataram was declared the country’s anthem.
4. No National Anthem at the Time of Independence When the nation achieved independence, there was no national anthem. Although everyone knew the Rabindranath Tagore song ‘Jana Gana Mana’ which was actually written in 1911. On January 24, 1950, it became the official national anthem.
10. In 1906, the Indian Flag was first unfurled. On August 7, 1906, at Kolkata’s Parsee Bagan Square, the three red, yellow, and green horizontal stripes of the national flag of India were hoisted. Pingali Venkayya created the original version of our current national flag in 1921. The 24-spoke Ashok Chakra and saffron, white, and green stripes of the present flag were formally adopted on July 22, 1947, and flown for the first time on August 15, 1947.
6. Along with India, five other nations celebrate their Independence Day on August 15 Along with India, five other nations— Bahrain, North Korea, South Korea, the Republic of Congo, and Liechtenstein— celebrate their independence on August 15 despite achieving it in different years.
8. The Radcliffe Line was first published on August 17, 1947. On August 3, 1947, Sir Cyril Radcliffe finished the Radcliffe Line, a demarcation line used to show the boundaries of the areas of Punjab and Bengal that belong to Pakistan and India. However, it was not published officially until August 17, 1947, two days after India gained independence from the British.

9. The national anthem Vande Matram is a part of a Bengali Novel
7. Bangladesh’s National Anthem was written by Rabindranath Tagore. Not only did Rabindranath Tagore wrote the national anthem for India, he also did it for Bangladesh, which is India’s neighbour. Rabindranath Tagore authored “Amar Sonar Bangla” in 1905. During Bangladesh’s independence struggle in 1971, the first 10 lines of this song were made as the country’s national anthem. Tagore had a significant effect on both the lyrics and melody of the Sri Lankan national song, “Sri Lanka Matha.” The most commonly accepted theory is that Sri Lankan musician Ananda Samarakoon was inspired by or influenced by Gurudev when writing the melody and lyrics for the song.
Shri Aurobindo published a prose translation of it in Karmayogin on November 20, 1909.
M. Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, was instrumental in starting this custom. He pointed out the unique procedure used in Delhi in a letter to the country’s then-prime minister, Indira Gandhi. The Central government approved of this idea.
12. In 1961, Goa was the last state to become a part of India. Goa remained a Portuguese colony even after India gained independence on August 15, 1947. Only in 1961 did Indian forces annex it to their country. Goa was the final state to join the Indian subcontinent, as a result.
Background The East Indian Company ruled India from 1757 until 1857, and the British Empire took control of the country from 1858 to 1947. The first attempt at independence, known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the Indian Rebellion of 1857, began in that year. The Indian Independence Movement included a number of freedom fighters who battled for the nation’s freedom until the British were eventually driven out on August 15, 1947, setting the country free.
13. Only one location in India manufactures the Indian flag. There is just one location in India where the Indian flag is produced and delivered. The Indian flag may be produced and supplied by the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha (KKGSS), which is based in the Karnataka city of Dharwad. The national flag is exclusively created with hand-spun and hand-woven cotton khadi bunting, according to the Bureau of Indian Standards.

CREATING A DIFFERENCE BY UNDERSTANDING METASTASIS BIOLOGY AND ADDRESSING MUCH NEEDED DISCOVERY AND DIAGNOSTIC EFFORTS
The company is all set to test compounds for Biopharma on its platforms and profile them against metastasis and is currently in discussions with some MNCs and one Indian pharma. As for diagnostics, Mestastop has not covered this segment so far. Here, the research work cannot be based on ten patient samples and needs a much bigger sampling size. This project is ongoing, and soon Mestastop will enter the diagnostics field.
WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT MESTASTOP?
CORPORATE ETHOS FOR CLIENTELE
All previous approaches to interfere with metastasis were focused on the initial steps of cells moving out of the tumor and always targeted the growing cells. Paradoxically, the moving and growing tumor cells are very different, and the concept of Mestastop is focused on the moving cells only, as they are the most relevant for metastasis. Also, the team has identified critical rate-limiting steps of metastasis that were neglected before and have validated both these new concepts in patient samples, which minimizes the chances of clinical failures.
ENSURING CONSTANT GROWTH WITH R&D AND TECH ADVANCEMENTS
MESTASTOP SOLUTIONS
WORK CULTURE – THE MAIN STRENGTH BEHIND MESTASTOP
INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL.-3 | ISSUE 9 | AUGUST 2022 42
R&D is everything in this field! Mestastop began with a hypothesis, but then data educates the team as they learn from it and modify their views. R&D is what sustains successful biotech and differentiates the good from the lucky ones.
The most painful experience in cancer is not the death, but the anticipation of death, that both the patient and their loved ones go through. This is because cancer can spread or metastasise anytime, even after the best of surgery or chemotherapy, and life comes down to living between PET scans and Blood tests.
With the vision to stop this suffering by filling the gaps in the understanding of metastasis biology and targeting it the right way in clinical settings, an incredible venture, Mestastop Solutions came into existence in 2018. The startup has a two – pronged approach, to both identify this phenomenon early (diagnostics) and intervene with this process (discovery). Mestastop is focused on the spreading of cancer cells from one part of the body to the others, a process known as metastasis. Mestastop Solutions has been at the forefront of IP generation, creating unique proprietary platforms to help solve the problem of cancer metastasis by facilitating drug discovery and early predictive diagnosis.
The whole team at Mestastop works 8 – 9 hours a day, but they work together, i.e., they back each other, and it is always a collective success or a collective failure. Trust and belief in each other work wonders for them. Mestastop follows an open culture policy where a team of self-motivated people is working selflessly to make a difference. Here, everyone is a thought leader or is being groomed as a potential leader, and all are bound by a thread of passion and motivation; to change the central dogma around cancer treatment. The leading team focuses on just picking the people with the right mindset. Rest, everyone is on autopilot! MESTASTOP’S IN FIVE WORDS Intent – Courage – Diligence – Resilience – Integrity
| Business Connect THE MOST TRUSTED COMPANIES TO WATCH IN 2022
Innovation is nothing but challenging the status quo, asking questions not asked before and finding answers to them. For example, the node positivity status is the routine method of predicting the metastasis probability of a patient with a primary tumor but no visible metastasis. According to the data by the research team, negative node patients can still have metastasis, and conversely, node-positive patients need not have metastatic tumors all the time.

MESTASTOP’S INSIGHTS ON INNOVATIONS
Since Mestastop introduced the concept of the wet lab in November 2019, it has successfully presented its work at six international conferences. The company has filed two international patent applications and it has even been recognised as the “Best Metastasis R&D Specialist, 2022” by Global Health and Pharma, based in the UK. Its unique strength in science has attracted key angels and investors, and Mestastop has successfully achieved three fundings from the Government of India. While Mestastop has successfully navigated through the journey till now by generating data with courage and resilience, it is yet to measure miles. In the future, the company is planning to set itself as the innovative hub of India which will compete with the best in the world. Here, the focus is to establish a platform where talented Indians returning to India will pursue innovation from day one and impact people’s lives.
“The Science we are following would not have been possible but for the technology currently available in our hands, thanks to all the innovative companies who design instruments, reagents, and kits. We work with purified tumor cells, which would not have been possible in high throughput a few decades back if not for the recent technological advances. We are also trying to integrate various other technologies into our work and working on creating some partnerships”, asserted Dr. Debabani Roy Chowdhury, co-founder and director, sharing her views on the involvement of tech solutions in the firm.

DONATING BLOOD
One of the reasons why you should donate Blood is because it is a simple thing to do that can save someone’s life. Every second, someone in the world needs Blood for a transfusion, and less than 5% of those eligible to donate do so. Many people don’t realize they can give Blood until they are in the hospital receiving treatment and see the sign on the wall. It only takes about an hour or two to donate Blood, and you can save up to 3 lives by doing so!
If you or someone in your family has high iron levels, you may be at a greater risk of heart disease. High iron levels can cause heart attacks and other adverse health effects. The body naturally tries to store as much iron as possible, and donating Blood can help reduce these harmful stores of iron.
Many people think donating their Blood is a great way to help others, and it is an act that saves lives. However, there are many other benefits of donating Blood as well. Even if you’re not in the hospital for surgery or medical reasons, there are many other ways in which Blood can help people around you. When you donate Blood, you are helping save many people’s lives. It may seem like a little thing, but every donation can help give someone the strength they need to get through their treatment or Insurgery.thisarticle, we talk about the advantages of giving Blood and some unexpected things it can do for your loved ones and friends. WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE BLOOD?
2. DONATING BLOOD - REVEAL POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS: Donating Blood can be another way to monitor your cardiovascular health, though it is not the same as going to the doctor. Before the Blood is drawn, you will undergo a brief physical examination during which your blood pressure, body temperature, haemoglobin, and other parameters will be checked. This occasionally reveals issues you were utterly unaware of. Dietician and LEAP certified therapist Jan Patenaude says, “If your blood is too low in iron, the clinic will tell you and won’t draw your blood.” They will also let you know if they notice any other blood problems or if anything seems out of the ordinary.
HERE IS A LIST OF 6 SURPRISING BENEFITS OF DONATING BLOOD.
1. DONATING BLOOD - REDUCE HARMFUL IRON STORES: Iron is a natural component in your Blood, and it can be a lifesaver when someone is lacking in iron. However, some people have too much iron in their Blood, which can cause many dangerous health problems. Excessive iron storage can cause blood clots, tissue damage, organ failure, heart attacks, and other potentially fatal diseases.
INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL.-3 | ISSUE 9 | AUGUST 2022 48 Health
Breaking down a pint of Blood leaves about a half cup of red cells for the body to use. Your body also replaces platelets and plasma daily; however, this process is much slower than red cell replacement. Platelets must be replaced every 3–4 days for the body to maintain healthy levels in the bloodstream, and without regular platelet donations, a person can quickly become deficient in these cells.

4. DONATING BLOOD - KEEP YOUR LIVER HEALTHY
Your health will benefit from blood donation. Giving Blood is a way to control the iron overload in your Blood, which damages your liver.

CONCLUSION Blood donation has a lot of advantages. You feel great after giving Blood! You get to make a difference in people’s lives while helping others.

We hope you’ve found the muchneeded encouragement to do a service to humanity.
3. DONATING BLOOD - REPLENISH YOUR BLOOD CELLS: Every time you donate Blood, you help replenish the Blood in your body. After, when your body uses that Blood and loses it, the red cells are replaced with new ones. If you don’t donate regularly, your body will have to work harder to keep up with the demand.
5. DONATING BLOOD - LOWER RISK OF HEART ATTACKS: Your Blood can contain too much fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG) or too little. Giving Blood regularly can help you out when it comes to your heart health. This is because the transfusion of donated Blood has been proven to lower the risk of a heart attack or stroke by as much as 25%, equivalent to taking 2 blood pressure medications. If you have high cholesterol, it’s best to talk with your doctor before donating Blood because this can lower your overall survival rate once you are diagnosed with a fatal illness.
