 Hi guys, welcome to another episode of inside oizom We had really a great time shooting the first episode with one of our teammates Kinjal and we got to know how she's doing in this current scenario We all are affected by the current pandemic here and things have changed as it was a couple of years ago We all are now walking from home So it's so much fun and so much it's so nice to understand how people are coping up with this how they are adapting to this new normal So to continue the same thing today. I have another guest on on inside oizom So, please welcome Bhoomik. Hi Bhoomik Great Bhoomik. So Bhoomik is a project manager here in oizom. So Sorry, I'm again going on writing about what my teammates do. So I'll leave it to Bhoomik So Bhoomik quickly, please introduce yourself. What do you do at oizom? Have you guys know about you? Yeah, hi everyone. So I'm Bhoomik. I work as a project manager at oizom instruments So I joined around four years ago and I started off as an R&D engineer I used to research on sensors electronic components do some PCB designing Also code on on side of it then about assembly I used to install the devices all those technical parts I used to take care of but since we started to scale up, but then I moved to project management more on the technical side So yeah, I'm currently handling all the global projects mostly and some of India as well Wow, that's kind of a great journey. I guess for for so many years to be part of of the startup So guys Bhoomik has been really helping me when I got on board at oizom So we were working together and he helped me out with understanding the device and hardware He has a great knowledge of it because he is right from the start. He's he's he's been there So before we get on to the things about work, you just recently recovered from the COVID, right? So tell us something about that experience how out of it was for you. Yeah, sure It was quite challenging actually because I first thought as an extra 14 days is nothing I can stay for months inside my house and not come in contact with people but this was a difficult time because Due to first of all the social media everything was so negative So I put off Instagram snapchat Twitter every social media on site I just read books played some musical instruments as it's a part of my hobby So yeah, I stick to reading not consume too much information. Just keep me to my myself and read about General affairs the current affairs, but not anything related to code because I don't want that negative Energy to flow inside because I already tested positive Yeah, but now you're all fit and fine, right? Yeah, I'm fit and fine. I started exercising as well Actually, after like five days, I started working out. So I was feeling quite better SPO to went from 94 to 99 within like three four days. But yeah, those first three days were quite Quite challenging. Yeah, the fever did not reduce the symptoms did not reduce, but as fast as it took Over my body. I Immediately got into isolation. So none none of my parents have been affected That's really a great of you. You know, you took care of that So coming back to your fitness as you mentioned about it But before that I wanted to know like how was this lockdown treating you from the prior one? What's what's the difference that you see from last year in this year? Yeah, so as I mentioned earlier being an introverted didn't really affect me But yeah, since 365 days past, I realized that no even I need to socialize with people So that that that's one thing I missed meeting people Going out with friends or even even to go on a bike ride. I ride the motorcycle often So even that I missed a lot Okay, so if you have to I have to list just one thing that you missed the most what what would it be? One thing going out on dates probably Okay, so is this a hint to our viewers that okay, this guy is still single Okay, that's good that's good to know that you're back on on the all these petty comments of yours You are you're really good at this. So now now let me just ask you about your experience You know is on how how has it been one of the things that you have learned as you said It's quite a journey from being in the R&D from to become a project manager for the global project So how would you you know help us know more about what you're doing? Yeah, so as I said, I I joined as I did my electronics and communication engineering So as soon as I completed my graduation, I joined this company and we were around eight or nine people at first Okay, so now we are around more than 20 people Yeah, so being in the core team it really helped because even colleges something that doesn't teach you practicality after joining always on I learned more about the PCBs and hardware and electrons how it's done in real life then I learned in college for four years So that's a great Knowledge game for all over these years working for a reason because you get to know each and every Value which the component takes place and comes as a final product So that's a good learning And and your experience with global projects, how do you think it's different from India and Another question linked to this is what about the problem of air quality that we all are facing what you have any insights on that? Yeah, so globally the customers I would say they are quite proactive than Indian customers Because and they also have a vast knowledge on engineering skills. So basic The necessities they take care of so you don't have to instruct You don't have to instruct them all the time That you know, this is the particular thing you need to take care of you just tell them once and they'll do that efficiently And yeah, they are quite accurate and proactive and efficient in the work So that's one part, which I'm helpful. I'm grateful for actually that they take care of all the instruments really well Yeah, and you have learned that skill and imbibe or heroes, right? Yes, yes Okay. Uh, yeah, so coming in in addition to this, uh, like you see the whole problem of air quality, right? Which is why we are around and uh, you know, how India has More than six cities in the world, which is more highly power polluted So what have been your observations onto this? You know, we have been doing some projects where we found the PM levels quite low when it comes to Germany or international Whereas in India, I mean indoors we have quite a high level of PM The concentration So what do you think how what we do and I've been doing I've been the right way right approach and how we zone is contributing to this Yes, surely. So first of all, India has a major problem of air pollution Mainly PM levels And the people the government the agencies aren't aware of the data. So what through ozone we do is Target the exact parameters which are required to measure first because without measurements without the proper data You don't know how to mitigate it. So that problem we are solving through ozone We measure particulate matter gases socks knocks O3 so all these parameters combine and together make an aqa which is the air quality index So if you compare the air quality index of India to a global It's a vast difference between those two values So for example, I will give you that in France and in England we have deployed many devices And that the pm 2.5 pm 10 level is in single digit. That's like eight or nine But in India, it's 199 So it's tremendous difference between those two So we really need to the Indian government the Indian agencies really need to first measure it properly And then find ways to mitigate all these pollution factors such as farm burning The construction sites needs to be monitored. So all these little aspects if we try and control I'm sure that we will reduce this pollution levels Yeah, I think you aptly put it very nicely. I mean, it's it I think it needs a very consolidated effort from all of us And it's it's it just can't be like one or two It has to be from all from all sectors from all areas So I think it's very nicely put and I don't think sitting here I know that okay. There is a benchmark that we have to achieve someday from the european standards Maybe so that's pretty kind of you to you know, share all these valuable insights into this So, okay coming back to something personal enough for talking about what we do. So you mentioned about your Hobbies that is fitness as well as music tell tell us something About it. I know we all know like, you know, you are kind of a fitness freak We have seen you growing over the last two years. You have built your body and all So tell us something what drives you, you know every day, you know going to the gym or how is it? I mean just just share your views on that Yeah, people see gym and exercising as a like a sport And it is a sport, but you have to be really disciplined You see on social media people are flaunting their bodies, but it's not about just the image It's the discipline the hard work every single day every one or two hours you have to put in your book Plus it's the nutrition So it's it's like giving you a dopamine shot which you can't acquire from social media Yeah, so yeah fitness has been a part of me. I also play Many sports such as football. I used to play volleyball in school as well. Then I play musical instruments as well. I took formal training for tabla Piano and guitar as well. So that's a kind of hobby. It's basically quite therapeutic More than a hobby it heals you from your all the burdens your long day Okay, that's that's great to know. So Women were watching this This interview, you know, you have got all the information about boomek. So You know what to do it. So I think great boomek This was a really great talking about you your work It's kind of there's a lot of things that I learned how you have progressed through these years So before we conclude this Interview, I mean, I wanted to ask one thing which I'm going to ask to all of our team members So, uh, who is that one person that is on that, you know, you connect to the most Who's your favorite person? I would say at any level say you you love to spend time or talk anything So who's your uh, favorite person? Okay, it has to be only one person. It's uh, so hill patel the cto It has to be only one. Okay. Yes Because uh, when I joined, uh, I will be very honest with you I had no clue about uh, what's going on in the electronics industry So he was the one who had a lot of confidence me in me He trained me And all I am uh today on the technical part That's because of so hill because all those four years of engineering Uh, I just passed through the exams, but he gave me a reality reality check that okay This is what happens in the real world and how you need to take care of all these instruments So so hill, uh, is that one person? That's great. I mean I I'll have to ask him what comes as his answer So till then, uh, thank you so much bommick for your time It was really fun speaking to you and to know about your hobbies music And the the work that you have been doing in oizom keep doing that you're doing great.
