  • 76% of the Nursing Staff Suffer from Back Pains and Other Musculoskeletal Disorders Finds a Godrej Interio Survey
    76% of the Nursing Staff suffer from back pains and other musculoskeletal disorders finds a Godrej Interio survey ~Launches a new hospital bed ‘Chrysalis Nova Activ’ to address the pressing needs of caregivers and aid in patient recover~ ~ Chrysalis Nova Activ is a premium product designed for the highest degree of care for patients in the spectrum of Intensive Care to Post-Operative Care ~ Mumbai, 28th July 2021: Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business Godrej Interio, India’s leading furniture solutions brand, in home and institutional segments, today launched the Chrysalis Nova Activ - The Intelligent Sense Bed for modern Healthcare spaces. With this new addition to the Chrysalis range of hospital beds, Godrej Interio is addressing the need for patient safety and the wellbeing of caregivers with the introduction of the Lateral Tilt Feature which can be accessed through the digital touch attendant control panel, among several other intuitive features. During the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of healthcare infrastructure not only took its toll on the patients, but also pushed tired nurses and caregivers to their limits. This physical toil, especially across the extended shifts during the peak of the pandemic could lead to healthcare staff developing long-term musculoskeletal disorders. According to a study conducted during the pandemic by Godrej Interio's Workspace and Ergonomics Research Cell, this strenuous work environment leads to back pains and other muscular skeletal disorders in 76% of the nursing staff. Further, in case of patients, long stay in ICU wards can result in bed sores and other skin ailments.

The city has emerged as a major educational hub in recent decades, with nearly half of the total international students in the country studying in Pune. One such location is Hinjawadi: home to the Rajiv Gandhi Info Tech Park (RGIT), it offers world class IT facilities and is growing rapidly as one of the most preferred IT hubs in the country. Hinjawadi houses some of the leading software and business-process outsourcing majors and this is giving a major thrust to the real estate market in the vicinity. To add to this the presence of eminent educational institutions alongside several reputed banks, entertainment zones, state of the art restaurants, healthcare facilities, fine- dining and shopping destinations has made Hinjawadi carve a niche for itself as a location of choice amongst home buyers. Pleasant climate, progressive community living coupled with great social and physical infrastructure and an evolving IT & Automobile hub makes Pune one of the most attractive cities to live in recent times.

With a 123-year legacy, a worldwide customer base of 1.1 bn and a revenue of $4.1 bn, Godrej Group is one of the most trusted Indian brands in the world with real-estate being one of its key growing businesses.
