Why One Travel Company Is Making Phones Ring and Making Us Rethink How We Travel

Indiana, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a digital world filled with chatbots, wait times, and endless online forms, Kavya Travel is sounding the alarm—and offering a simple alternative: talk to a human.

Founded in August 2022, Kavya Travel has quietly grown into a movement. Without raising outside funding, the company has already helped over 10,000 travelers by doing something that feels almost revolutionary in 2025: answering the phone.

“Most websites are built for people aged 10 to 30,” says a founding team member. “But once you get above 30, people start preferring a human touch. Above 50? It’s even more true.”

The numbers support this shift. A 2024 AARP survey found that 68% of people over age 45 prefer speaking to a live agent when booking travel. In the same survey, only 12% of respondents over age 60 trusted online-only travel platforms to solve issues quickly.

Fighting the Quiet Isolation of Digital Convenience

Kavya Travel isn’t just booking trips—they’re advocating for connection in customer service. “We found there is no alternative to the comfort a customer gets by having someone on the phone,” the team explains.

While tech companies continue automating away voice support, Kavya did the opposite. They built their own call center. They launched Google ads. Within months, they were receiving over 500 calls a day—mostly from travelers seeking help from someone who would just listen.

“Everything today—your gym trainer, your food delivery, even your doctor—is through a screen,” the company states. “We want to change that.”

This Is Bigger Than Travel

For Kavya, this is about more than vacations. It’s about bringing back a type of service that feels real—one where people aren’t just numbers in a queue.

They hear daily from seniors who feel shut out by self-service platforms. Parents overwhelmed by logistics. Students looking for deals. Solo travelers just wanting to talk things through.

And people are listening. Their cruise booking platform now features over 700 ships, 50+ cruise lines, and custom itineraries that span from $170 Caribbean getaways to luxury Alaskan cruises.

But the goal has never been to just sell more cruises.

“Success,” the founders say, “is when a customer completes the journey, returns home safe, and knows we were there the whole way.”

Why This Matters

The decline of voice-based support isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a barrier. Studies show that nearly 1 in 4 Americans over age 60 have abandoned an online purchase due to difficulty navigating automated systems (Pew Research, 2023).

For many, frustration leads to exclusion. People opt out of services they want or need because they can’t get past the software.

Kavya Travel is calling attention to that problem. And they’re not asking for money. They’re asking for awareness.

What You Can Do

Kavya isn’t telling people to throw out their phones or delete their apps. They’re just asking you to pause and reflect:

• Do you know someone who avoids booking online because they don’t trust it?
• Have you ever been stuck in an endless loop of “press 1 to continue”?
• Have you ever wished you could just talk to someone?

“You don’t need to wait for the world to change,” says the team. “Just pick up the phone. Talk to someone. Help others do the same.”

About Kavya Travel

Kavya Travel Company LLC, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a fully self-funded, CLIA-certified online travel agency with a mission to restore human-first customer service. They specialize in cruise bookings, flights, hotels, and car rentals—serving travelers across the U.S. and Canada. As of 2025, they are developing their new cruise-focused brand, TheTripTime.com.

Call a loved one to help them book a trip. Support services that listen. And remember—travel should feel human. Kavya Travel is proving that it still can.

Miami attorney and Bar leader urges lawyers to look out for each other, before it’s too late

Florida, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Attorney and civic leader Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr., a founding partner at SMGQ Law, is calling for a renewed focus on mental health and wellness across the legal profession. Drawing from personal experience and decades of legal work, Sanchez-Medina is raising awareness about the silent challenges many attorneys face, and what can be done to change the culture from within.

“The legal profession is emotionally and mentally demanding,” Sanchez-Medina said. “We need to support lawyers before things fall apart, not after.”

Recent national studies show:

• 28% of lawyers suffer from depression

• 19% report anxiety

• Over 11% have considered suicide at some point in their careers

Source: ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs

Despite these staggering numbers, stigma and fear of professional judgment keep many attorneys from seeking help.

“A Softer, Kinder, Gentler Profession”

Sanchez-Medina, who has practiced law for over 30 years, says the problem isn’t just personal, it’s cultural.

“Too many lawyers only hear from their professional circles when something goes wrong,” he said.
“We need to build a legal community where connection, not just correction, is the norm.”

He stresses that mental health should not be treated as a side issue. “This can affect careers, families, and lives,” he said. “If attorneys lose their ability to make a living, everything else can unravel.”

Mentorship and Human Connection

Sanchez-Medina believes part of the solution lies in peer support. He has mentored dozens of young lawyers and students over the years, including a former teenage Haitian immigrant and a young associate who became a partner at his firm.

“Mentorship changes lives,” he said. “Someone did it for me. Now I try to do it for others.”

In 2018, he arranged a Harvard tour for low-income Miami high school students during his daughter’s time as a student there. “Those little things matter,” he said. “Sometimes people just need a door opened, or someone to say, ‘I see you.’”

What You Can Do

Sanchez-Medina’s message isn’t about launching a foundation or starting a campaign. It’s simpler: each person can do something.

“Check in on a colleague. Offer time to a law student. Use the resources that are already out there,” he said.
“And don’t be afraid to talk about mental health like we talk about deadlines or cases.”

A Personal Mission

The son of Cuban immigrants, Sanchez-Medina understands the pressure to push through silently. But he says the time has come to rethink that mindset.

“We’re trained to solve other people’s problems. But we rarely stop to check on ourselves,” he said.
“That needs to change. And it starts with us.”

He isn’t representing any organization in this effort, just himself, a lawyer who has seen the highs and lows of the profession.

“This is personal,” he added. “We can build a healthier profession together. But only if we decide to.”

Lawyers, legal staff, and law students are encouraged to:

• Reach out to someone they haven’t spoken to in a while

• Ask how colleagues are really doing

• Recommend confidential support services when needed

• Speak openly about stress, burnout, and wellness in their circles

“If you see someone struggling, don’t wait. Say something. Be the reason someone feels less alone.”

Malvern, PA, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As the global business landscape continues its rapid digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword.It’s the foundation of the next wave of enterprise innovation. Among the voices shaping this revolution, Sunil Jagani, President and Chief Technology Officer of AllianceTek, is offering a fresh, pragmatic solution for companies seeking meaningful results from their AI investments.

Today, Sunil Jagani unveiled the A²R Framework (Agentic AI for Results). A groundbreaking methodology designed to embed autonomous, intelligent agents into core business processes. With this launch, Jagani aims to shift the conversation from speculative hype to real-world impact, providing companies with a scalable blueprint to harness the power of AI while staying focused on outcomes, efficiency, and agility.

“AI isn’t about replacing people,” says Jagani. “It’s about augmenting intelligence, decision-making, and execution at scale. The A²R Framework helps companies move beyond static automation to create adaptive, self-directed systems that deliver real business value.”

From Rules-Based Routines to Autonomous Intelligence

Traditional workflow automationof, ten based on pre-set rules, simple triggers, and linear scripting has long helped businesses reduce manual effort. But this approach has significant limitations. It lacks adaptability, doesn’t scale well in dynamic environments, and fails to learn or improve over time.

A²R changes the game by introducing an agentic approach to automation. At its core, it uses autonomous AI agents capable of:

• Observing real-time data and business environments
  
• Reasoning to make informed decisions
  
• Acting autonomously toward clearly defined business outcomes
  

This model allows businesses to evolve from static process automation into intelligent ecosystems where software agents can collaborate with human teams, adapt to new inputs, and continuously improve based on feedback.

“Agentic AI represents a new paradigm,” Sunil Jagani explains. “It’s not just about doing tasks faster. It’s about enabling systems that can think, adapt, and learn in real-time, aligned with your business goals.”

Inside the A²R Framework: A Practical Approach to Intelligent Automation

The A²R Framework is built with practical implementation in mind. Rather than promoting one-size-fits-all AI tools, it provides a modular, customizable approach to integrating AI into workflows.

Here’s what makes A²R different:

• Business Outcome Mapping
  Every intelligent agent is aligned with a specific KPI or operational metric. This ensures that AI activity is directly linked to tangible business results, such as faster lead conversion, improved compliance, or reduced processing time.
  
• Human-AI Collaboration Design
  The framework clarifies the roles of both humans and AI agents, enabling smoother collaboration. It defines when humans make decisions, when AI takes over, and how both sides communicate.
  
• System Integration Layer
  A²R integrates seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure: CRMs, ERPs, data lakes, APIs; ensuring a smooth transition and eliminating the need for a complete tech overhaul.
  
• Autonomy and Guardrails
  While the agents operate independently, A²R includes built-in safeguards for compliance, cybersecurity, and human oversight, allowing businesses to trust their agents without losing control.
  
• Continuous Learning Loop
  Through constant feedback and data analysis, AI agents within the A²R ecosystem evolve. This feedback loop ensures they improve over time, adjusting to changes in business conditions and customer behavior.
  

Already piloted in industries such as healthcare, logistics, and professional services, the A²R Framework has shown efficiency improvements of 20%–40%, proving its value in real-world scenarios.

A Vision Backed by Two Decades of Innovation

Sunil Jagani’s credibility in the world of enterprise technology is not incidental; it’s rooted in years of hands-on leadership and innovation. With a Master’s degree in Software Engineering from Pennsylvania State University and deep experience in financial technology roles at companies like Advanta and Bisys, Jagani has long been attuned to the evolving challenges and opportunities in enterprise IT.

In 2004, recognizing inefficiencies in corporate IT ecosystems such as rigid team structures, limited tech diversity, and slow-to-evolve processes, he founded AllianceTek with a clear mission: to build agile, intelligent, and collaborative tech teams that solve real business problems.

Under his leadership, AllianceTek has grown into an international consulting powerhouse with over 100 employees across the U.S. and India. The company specializes in helping businesses modernize legacy systems, build custom applications, and integrate next-gen technologies including AI into their operations.

“We’re not just building tools,” Jagani says. “We’re building intelligent collaborators. That’s what the A²R Framework is all about: bringing AI into the heart of business decision-making and execution.”

Empowering Businesses to Thrive in a Post-Automation World

With A²R, Jagani is making a bold statement: businesses can no longer afford to rely solely on traditional automation. To stay competitive, they must evolve toward intelligent systems that can adapt, learn, and act independently.

From customer service agents that resolve complex issues in real-time, to logistics bots that optimize supply chains based on live data, A²R unlocks new possibilities for how businesses operate.

For CEOs, operations managers, and IT leaders, the A²R Framework offers more than just a technological upgrade. It offers a strategic advantage.

The Future is Agentic and It’s Already Here

While AI’s potential continues to dominate headlines, many businesses are still unsure how to translate promise into practice. The A²R Framework bridges that gap.

By focusing on outcomes over tools, collaboration over replacement, and agility over rigidity, Jagani and AllianceTek are helping businesses not just survive the AI wave but lead it.

“Agentic AI isn’t the future,” Jagani concludes. “It’s the now. And A²R helps companies operationalize that vision, with clarity, confidence, and control.”

Indiana, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In today’s competitive world of youth and adult athletics, it’s easy to focus solely on performance, statistics, and rankings. But for Coach Jeff Rothbard, who is a lifelong tennis professional and passionate mentor,, true champions are not only measured by wins on the court, but by the mindset, discipline, and character they develop off of it. Through his holistic coaching philosophy, Jeff Rothbard Tennis Coaching is changing lives by building more than just athletes. He’s building people.

With decades of experience as both a player and coach, Jeff Rothbard has become a respected name in tennis instruction in Carmel, IN and Northbrook, IL at Glenbrook Racquet Club. His journey, however, is far from typical. A successful real estate entrepreneur and business leader for over 30 years, Jeff sold his multimillion-dollar company, SilverCreek Properties, in 2006 and turned his full focus to his true passion: coaching tennis and developing the next generation of athletes.

“I’ve always believed in effort, attitude, and mindset. You can teach technique, but coaching the whole player, his mind and body, that’s how you build champions,” says Jeff Rothbard.

That belief is the heartbeat of how Jeff trains players of all levels from beginner youth athletes to high-performance juniors and competitive adults. But his sessions at Glenbrook Racquet Club, Northbrook, IL aren’t just about strokes and serves. Every drill, lesson, and practice is grounded in mental clarity, emotional control, and personal growth.

His signature mantra:
“Great Attitude + Great Effort = Great Results”
is more than just a slogan—it’s a daily standard. As Jeff Rothbard’s Mentorship expands, this formula is taught, practiced, and lived out by his students in every session.

Coaching More Than Just a Forehand

Jeff Rothbard Athlete Development begins with fundamentals: footwork, precision, shot intention, and game awareness. But his real magic lies in coaching the intangibles—things like breathing routines, self-talk, resilience, and grit.

He teaches players to embrace failure as a step toward growth. His “10-second rule” after every point (5 seconds to react, 5 seconds to reset) helps athletes manage emotions and build composure under pressure. “Next time” becomes a mantra for improvement, encouraging self-reflection and accountability. Whether it’s mastering a crossover step or confronting a mental block, Jeff helps players unlock their best selves through discipline, not just drills.

“I teach my students that footwork intensity and mental intention are as important as any shot they hit,” Rothbard explains. “A wide base, proper split step, and breathing between points; that’s where confidence begins.”

From Boardroom to Baseline

Jeff Rothbard’s ability to coach character stems in part from his decades of success in business. As a real estate investor and founder of a 26-person national company, he mastered leadership, communication, and long-term planning. These same skills now fuel his coaching, where every lesson is backed by Jeff Rothbard’s leadership-focused, results-driven, and rooted in personal connection.

As a former commercial broker and entrepreneur, he once managed projects across 18 states and built a seven-figure company in under 12 months. His professional life taught him how to set goals, navigate pressure, and stay resilient. All the skills he now instills in his athletes. Through his coaching, he shows young players how to manage adversity, lead with confidence, and compete with purpose.

Character First: A Legacy of Impact

While others may chase trophies, Jeff Rothbard’s Character Building is focused on integrity, discipline, and sportsmanship. Whether a 10-year-old is picking up a racquet for the first time or a college-bound athlete is preparing for national competition, Jeff’s ultimate goal is the same: Help them grow into better people, not just better players.

He reinforces the Positive Footwork Mindset by teaching athletes how to reset after mistakes, breathe under pressure, and visualize success. His detailed “Things to Remember” list, posted on every court and shared with every student, breaks down the game into teachable, repeatable habits. From the “Bounce-Swing” cue to the importance of loading the back leg and extending through the shot, each tip is tied to a mental principle—patience, presence, intention.

His students learn to play and lead. “You only control two things on the court,” Jeff often tells them, “your attitude and your effort. Make them both great.”

Rooted in Community and Giving Back

Jeff’s work extends beyond the court. His coaching programs support causes like Riley Children’s Hospital through partnerships with local events such as the Indiana Dance Marathon. While he has a deep business background, Jeff makes it clear: “My mission now is tennis.”

By focusing on mentorship and player development, Jeff Rothbard’s Legacy of Impact continues to grow. His reach extends online through platforms like JeffRothbard.com, articles on Medium, and insights shared through professional networks like Crunchbase and Quora.

His growing presence in both Carmel, IN and Northbrook, IL ensures that players benefit from his innovative and heartfelt approach. With every session, he’s not just building athletes; he’s building citizens.

Looking Ahead

As demand grows for transformational coaching models, Jeff Rothbard Tennis Coaching stands at the forefront. Players and parents are no longer satisfied with surface-level training. They want mentorship, life skills, and long-term growth. That’s exactly what Jeff delivers.

“I want my students to remember me not just as a coach who helped them win matches, but as someone who helped them win in life,” Jeff says.

To learn more about his philosophy, training programs, and availability for clinics or private lessons, visit www.glenbrooksports.com or connect with Jeff directly at Jeff.rothbard@gmail.com.

Whether you’re a young player chasing your first tournament win or an adult rediscovering your love for the game, one thing’s certain: when you train with Coach Jeff Rothbard, you’re getting better at tennis and becoming the best version of yourself.

Connecticut epidemiologist encourages everyday actions to fight disease spread

Connecticut, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As new waves of flu, RSV, and other infectious diseases continue to stress healthcare systems across the U.S., Dr. David Banach, a leading infectious disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at a major academic hospital in the state, is speaking out.

Banach, who played a key advisory role in Connecticut’s COVID-19 response, says the time to act on infection prevention is now — and that action doesn’t require waiting on government or hospitals.

“Preparedness isn’t just about having masks or vaccines,” said Dr. Banach. “It’s about having systems, data, and trust — but it also starts with personal decisions, like staying home when sick, getting vaccinated, and washing your hands.”

According to the CDC, each year in the U.S.:

• Over 1.7 million healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur

• 99,000 deaths result from these infections

• 5–10% of hospitalized patients acquire an infection during their stay

Banach says much of this can be prevented. “Simple practices — even the ones we all learned during COVID — still matter. Things like wearing a mask when you’re symptomatic or avoiding crowded places when flu is surging. They work.”

He’s especially concerned about rising antibiotic resistance, which the WHO calls one of the biggest threats to global health. “When antibiotics stop working, even a basic infection can turn serious,” he said. “Stewardship isn’t just a hospital job. It starts with not demanding antibiotics for every cold.”

Banach also focuses on vulnerable populations, including the homeless. As a volunteer physician at Hartford’s South Park Inn shelter, he sees the consequences of healthcare gaps firsthand.

“Everyone deserves basic care,” he said. “Volunteering keeps me grounded. It reminds me why I went into medicine.”

He encourages others to help however they can — not just through volunteering, but by staying informed and modeling good habits.

What You Can Do Today

Dr. Banach offers these practical steps:

• Get vaccinated — against flu, COVID-19, RSV (if eligible), and more

• Stay home when sick — even mild symptoms can spread illness

• Use antibiotics wisely — don’t pressure doctors for them

• Support community health programs — donate or volunteer locally

• Be alert to emerging infections — stay informed from reliable sources

“We can’t prevent every infection, but we can reduce the impact,” Banach said. “It’s not about fear. It’s about responsibility.”

About Dr. David Banach

David Banach is an Associate Professor of Medicine and a Lecturer in Epidemiology. He serves as Head of Infection Prevention at a leading academic hospital and is a past president of the Connecticut Infectious Diseases Society. He has authored over 60 publications focused on infection control, antimicrobial resistance, and public health preparedness.
