This independence day Saffron Edge decided to make a contribution to nation-building. On this auspicious day, we collaborated with Pilk, a leading non-dairy milk manufacturer, to encourage a healthy lifestyle among today's youth. This is just a small step, but its impact will definitely pave a better future for India. It's a must-move after the two deadly Covid-19 waves and increasing rate of diseases. We all know how important health is. Even those who took their health lightly are now reading health magazines to change their lifestyle, eating habits, and diet plan to keep them away from hospitals. But one thing we all usually overlook, i.e., milk. We all know how important milk is, but when we hear news of unhygienic or mixing of other substances in milk, it really breaks our hearts. Even it raises the question of whether we should drink Milk or not. Not only this, but dairy milk is also not a good option for those who have lactose intolerance. All these reasons are now making people avoid milk. As a result, there are increasing cases of calcium and other essential deficiencies. Even you have seen many people avoiding dairy milk and looking for other alternatives. What's your stance on this? Read on; at the end, you can make a better decision about whether you should put a dairy-milk glass on your dining table. Saffron Edge Celebrated This "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" with a Healthy Initiative As India is all set to meet the World's standards on different parameters, one thing where we lack is health. A large-scale survey of Statista in 2019 reveals that 59% of Indian men and 70% of Indian women were unhealthy based on their lifestyle and diet. These stats reveal a lot more about Indians eating habits and diet plans. That's why we have decided to take a healthy initiative this Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. We've planned to encourage a better alternative to dairy milk, i.e., plant-based milk. Why? Well, plant-based milk is far more nutritious and safe to drink than dairy milk. And it is also healthy for people with various medical conditions. You'll find a lot of plant-based milk these days, like Soy milk, Almond milk, Oat milk, etc. However, each has its own pros and cons. That's why it's indispensable to choose a better option for yourself. Collaborating with Pilk for This Special Occasion to Encourage Healthy Food In order to help you find a better alternative, we have done a little research. And our choice is Pilk. After knowing about their milk and its quality, we decided to encourage it. For this, we partnered with Pilk to celebrate 15th August 2022. Under this mission, Pilk has printed a special label with a Saffron logo on it to distribute among our team - Saffronities. We are very thankful to Pilk for joining and contributing to our mission to widespread the need for adopting a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. What Is Special About Pilk? Pilk is a leading plant-based milk manufacturer focusing on 3P - People, Planet, and Purpose. Since the market is flooded with lots of non-dairy milk, Pilk has tried to do something different. And added the goodness of different active ingredients in one bottle. Pilk is inscribed with a science-backed magical fusion of Oats, Cowpeas, and Moongs. This makes it extremely healthy.

It has been a long yet exciting process of getting a brick and mortar office in New Jersey, but we have succeeded in finding a fabulous location that is about 30-minutes west of New York City. S3 is located in Fairfield, New Jersey which is in Essex County. The Deepavaal Brook is behind us and the Passaic River in front of us. We are able to see Deepavaal Brook from the office window, giving us a nice break from looking at our computer screens all day. The Deepavaal Brook gets its name from either the Ojibbeway or the Ioway Native American tribes, or also known as American Indians. The word means deep fall though it’s just a babbling brook by us. S3 Office The building is very cozy and quaint and the neighbors are very warm and welcoming. The office is divided into three different sections, Alicia sits in the front, Stephanie sits in the middle section in the far left-hand corner (because she has no indoor voice and insists on speaking loudly even at 8:00 in the morning), and the back office is reserved for the conference table and meetings. We make more coffee than we’d like to admit and tend to move around a lot (a treadmill desk is sounding better and better). More about our location We were very lucky to obtain this space as it is centrally located to numerous stores, restaurants (many of which we’ve already tried) and we’re in the middle of a large business sector where we have started calling upon the businesses to provide our service. Our Landlord Our landlord is a very sweet 70-something-year-old gentleman who has been extremely generous. The office is quiet, the area is clean and it’s a joy to come into the office in the morning. Taco Tuesdays We’ve become quite addicted to a small Mexican restaurant with a funny name that is located less than a block away from the office, yes, we do still get it delivered. Something Alicia is very proud of since she is half Mexican! It is not uncommon for us to have “Taco Tuesday” twice a week (Taco Wednesday’s, Taco Friday’s, you get the idea), the team in India knows to ask us for things on Taco days since we’re in such good moods. Our newest mission involves finding the best homemade ice cream shop in the area, more on that next month. Office Decor As for decorating the office, that has been quite a journey. Thankfully Alicia is a natural because Stephanie would be (happily) sitting on the floor with her laptop until somehow office furniture magically appeared. Trying to decide on an aesthetic that is both pleasing yet reflective of the personalities of those who work in the office has been an interesting tightrope to walk, but yesterday we finally put the finishing touches on the office, woohoo! We have the furniture built, the pictures in frames, and the decorative pieces placed perfectly in their designated spots (all chosen by Alicia of course). And all done just in time for our first high-profile client visit this Friday! All in all, we’ve worked together to create a fun and motivating work environment that we can honestly say we look forward to coming to every day.
