Securing trustworthy business partners in international trade has always been a challenging task, requiring years of meticulous and painstaking groundwork, careful analysis, and the courage to deal with uncertainty. This article explores how cutting-edge AI tools are innovatively tackling these persistent challenges.

Evaluating potential partners from their online presence has been a formidable hurdle. There are no foolproof methods to ensure the competency and reliability of these entities based solely on their digital footprint. Conducting in-person visits, although insightful, is both time-consuming and costly. Moreover, transactions with unfamiliar buyers could result in bad debts, while dealings with unknown suppliers might yield subpar products or even lead to a total loss of the advance payment.
 
These hurdles are particularly daunting for professionals in the export-import industry aiming to broaden their global trade reach. As a response, these professionals are strategically using online trade data tools to navigate these challenges. Take Volza, for instance, an AI-enabled trade data portal. Volza provides an extensive global trade database, including complete shipment details through bills of lading. This tool arms users with essential information about active exporters and importers, capturing years of their export-import experience, current buyers and suppliers, transaction frequency, ongoing orders, shipment volumes, pricing, consignment numbers, and an exhaustive trade history. With this wealth of data, users can confidently assess and choose suitable business partners.
 
Vijay Sethia, Director of Chamanlal Sethia, one of India's foremost rice exporters, testifies to the transformative impact of these tools. According to Sethia, the introduction of trade data portals has empowered them to dramatically expand their business operations. Gone are the days of protracted struggles, with years spent on marketing, traveling, and product sampling. Today, importers and exporters can swiftly map out their market, efficiently identifying trustworthy and reliable business partners in just a matter of hours. 
 
While other trade databases like Panjiva and ImportGenius offer similar services, they seem to cover fewer countries. A glance at the Volza website shows it provides trade data for more than 80 countries, while Panjiva and ImportGenius support a trade base across 10 and 14 countries respectively.
 
Michael Robinson, Director of Volza, emphasizes their mission to expedite the entire process of identifying suitable business partners. "We aim to make it quicker, more cost-effective, and feasible. Users can bypass years of relentless effort, elevating their businesses to new heights with confidence, and in a fraction of the traditional timeframe," he explains.
 
Platforms like Volza also overcome the obstacle of procuring direct contact details for key decision-makers. Whether it's the export head, import head, or other relevant stakeholders, Volza's built-in function provides access to their contact information and even links to their LinkedIn profiles.
 
In conclusion, AI's integration into international trade is ushering in a transformative era. Platforms like Volza are making the identification and evaluation of business partners more efficient and reliable. By offering extensive trade data and essential contact information, these platforms are setting new benchmarks in the sector. It's clear that AI-powered Trade data tools are more than clever business strategies; they are now a prerequisite for success in the globalized marketplace. As AI and Big data technologies continue to evolve, its impact on facilitating international trade will only expand, heralding a future where global business expansion is seamless and confident.

  • One donation can save up to three lives and helps provide timely blood transfusion to people in need[1] – from accident victims, surgical and cancer patients to women during pregnancy and childbirth and for children with anemia
  • The campaign is a part of Abbott's BETHE1™ global donor recruitment program and features a song by Indian hip-hop artist MC Headshot - "Give Blood, Get Good Vibes"
  • The song is aimed at inspiring youth to donate. 85.5% of Indian youth (aged 18-25 years) reported that they had never donated blood

While India has progressed considerably, there is still a gap in the country's requirement of blood supply. As per current statistics, India requires an annual average of 14.6 million blood units, but there is a consistent shortfall of roughly one million units annually[2]. Addressing this, global healthcare leader Abbott has extended its worldwide donor recruitment campaign, 'BETHE1,' and launched the first-ever donor campaign song, 'Give Blood. Get Good Vibes.' This song aims to inspire Indian youth to donate blood, making blood donation a contemporary, compelling approach to build a healthier India. The vocals are by Tamojit Chatterjee, aka MC Headshot, an Indian hip-hop artist, rapper, lyricist, and stage performer.
 
Talking about this initiative, MC Headshot said, "I am proud to be a part of this campaign as it aims to help address a very real-life challenge. I hope that all the young people out there will become aware that they can make a difference. If you are healthy and able to donate, I urge you to do so and help save lives."
 
The campaign supplements prior on-ground efforts to promote blood donation. The company had launched the campaign in major cities across India, including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kochi, Nagpur, Vizag, Guwahati, Nagpur, and Nashik, with digital and physical assets, mobile donation vans, and more. These sites record approximately 300,000 annual donations, with an encouraging rise in donations by over 20% this year.
 
India's Demand-Supply Gap: A Blood Donation Deficit
 
India has an eligible donor population of 402 million, yet it falls short of meeting the WHO's minimum recommendation of 1% of the population donating blood.[3] The country's blood supply in 2022 was estimated at 33.8 per thousand donations, against the demand of 36.3 per thousand.[4]
 
Dr Rajesh B Sawant, Consultant - Transfusion Medicine, Histocompatibility & Immunogenetics, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute, Mumbai, said, "One donation can save up to three lives,[5] and the process to donate blood typically only takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Addressing India's blood deficit is essential to help avoid delays in critical blood transfusions for people in need. This can be done by raising awareness and tackling myths around blood donation, especially as there is a constant need for blood supply, not just for emergencies, but also for planned surgeries and long-term medical treatments."
 
Voluntary blood donations are especially low in certain groups. While India has one of the youngest populations in the world, 85.5% of Indian youth (aged 18-25 years) reported that they had never donated blood. Further, only 10 to 12% of women are blood donors.[6] The reasons include low awareness, misconception that blood donation could endanger their health, lack of clarity about the process, and inaccessibility to blood donation sites.[7]
 
Blood donation – a powerful, life-saving behaviour – is key to treating women with complications during pregnancy and childbirth (like postpartum haemorrhage), children with severe anaemia, and supporting accident victims and surgical and cancer patients.[8] In addition to this, regular blood donation also plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy iron levels in the body and stimulating the production of new blood cells.[9] This selfless act not only saves lives but also offers advantages for the donor, including a reduced risk of cancer, lower blood pressure, improved mental state, a healthy liver, and improved plasma lipid profiles.[10],[11] It is a simple way to make a difference in someone's life and receive gratitude in return.
 
Addressing The Blood Shortage
 
Abbott's global program BETHE1™ and 'Give Blood. Get Back.' campaign has made a significant impact around the world in countries such as the United States, and Ethiopia. In Europe, the campaign has reached potential donors in more than a half dozen countries including Germany, Italy and Greece. In India, Abbott aims to reach people under-represented in blood donor numbers, like the youth, through creative formats to drive positive behaviour change.
 
Dr Sonu Bhatnagar, Area Medical Director for Abbott's transfusion medicine division said, "We believe that donating blood puts the power of saving lives and better health into the hands of everyone. Aligned with the government's goals to raise awareness about the benefits of voluntary donation, our 'Give Blood. Get Good Vibes' song aims to inspire youth by making blood donation cool and putting it on top-of-their mind."
 
The song can be heard here: www.bethe1donor.com/india.The video can be accessed on YouTube at Give Blood Get Good Vibes. People are encouraged to share their stories of blood donation on their social media channels, using the hashtags #GiveBloodGetGoodVibes and #BeThe1Donor.

We are committed to his vision of building this campus as a premier educational medicity."
